Gear shift indicator does not always light. Has been an issue with other models but has never been recalled for this specific model. Donât always know what gear you are in. Spare tire completely rusted out, unable to get down. Not sure if this is a recall issue but apparently common for this vehicle
SO THE HYDRABOOST IS FAILING AND MY TRUCK IS POURING AN INSANE AMOUNT OF POWER STEERING FLUID FROM HYDRABOOST SYSTEM. WHEN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND MODEL THE HYDRABOOST RECALL POPS UP BUT WHEN CALLING CHEVROLET THEY WANT TO DO NOTHING. WHEN ITS APPARENT MY TRUCK IS AFFECTED BY TRASH PARTS. IT ONLY HAS 149000 MILES ON IT AND THE HYDRABOOST SYSTEM IS GONE. I'M TIRED OF ADDING 2 QUARTS OF POWER STEERING FLUID A WEEK, AND CANT EVEN DRIVE MY FAMILY AROUND BECAUSE I WAITING ON BRAKES TO SPORADICALLY FAIL DUE TO THE SYSTEM BEING COMPROMISED.
THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER DOES NOT ILLUMINATE THEREFORE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN. IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. IT OCCURS WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, AM MOVING AND WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON.
