Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought the 2005 chevrolet silverado in june 2005 brand new. within two months of having the truck i noticed that it would not shift properly through the gears, when it would, it lurched. it happened twice in one day. this happened more and more frequently and still does it, however, the dealership that i bought the vehicle from could not find anything wrong. also, i had other people drive the truck, and they have had the same problem. the truck has been to the dealership 12 or 13 times, but they never could find the problem. i also had an incident where vehicle revved into park and it stayed at a high idle for several second before finally returning to a normal idle like the tharotle stuck. in addition to the problems with the transmission, i have had power lock problems. i can stand next to the truck and the locks will not unlock. all of my coworkers could unlock their vehicles froma distance but mine will not. i had to walk around the truck several times and continually press the unlock button before the locks would unlock. i have also had problems with the power locks unlocking from inside the truck with the unlock button on the passenger side door. this has happened a few times now. the dealership also cannot find anything wrong with the lock or the key fobs. my cd played at a brand new cd, at times the cd's will not come out or go in, and the radio stations will appear on the display wrong. in addition to all of that, last summer i was driving down the highway and i had smoke start pouring out of my vents. i thought the truck was over heating at first. when i took it to the dealership, they said that it was just condinsation. i had the truck the summer before and never had a problem like it. i also took my truck in this year for new tires, mind you i had less than 20,000 miles on the truck. the place where i got the truck was amazed that i needed new tires since i had so few miles on the truck. *ak
