CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2009 Silverado has no defect trends, which is a very good sign now that it's more than a few years old.
A couple model years back, the 2007 Silverado has an oil consumption defect at low mileage (~50k miles) — so far there's only a very few reports of the same problem with the 2009 Silverado.
The 2009 Silverado received poor side impact ratings on models not equipped with the optional side air bags.
While driving my 2009 Chevy Silverado 5.3 all of a sudden the service traction control light came on and truck began to miss fire and run awfully. Had it towed to the dealer they said it was the mass airflow sensor and spark plug number one. They replaced it and my air-conditioning only blew Hot air. When I discovered this I called the dealership they ignored my calls. Finally was able to get some help from a friend and the Internet to solve the air conditioning problem. The dealer Billion Motors of Sioux Falls South Dakota will not return my calls, after I've complained about missing screws, broken clips the heater hose is not replaced into the correct carriers.
I have owned this truck since it had 7 miles on it have only had a few problems but now it's starting to have many problems with only 72,000 miles very frustrated GM should be ashamed of themselves. However until they are not and it's time for me to possibly buy a different product after being a Chevy owner for the past 30+ years
