Model records

What changes the warranty calculation

Our Chevrolet Silverado 1500 records contain 7,160 submitted complaints across 12 model years. The median count per model year is 659 reports, which lets you compare a year with the middle of this model's recorded counts.

The 2015 record contains 1,103 complaint reports. No listed year has a higher raw count, though other years may be tied. This comparison uses all listed years without adjusting for sales or time on the road; it does not establish a failure rate.

Engine replacement or major internal repair has the highest midpoint parts estimate among the applicable repair categories, at $7,000. Check whether that system remains under factory coverage before pricing an extra contract.

Check coverage for the current problem first

Get the current problem diagnosed and check factory coverage or recall remedies first. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions. Set those costs aside when comparing coverage for future eligible failures.
