2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO — Complaint #829544

Open-data reference.

NHTSA Complaint about POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION:SHIFT PATTERN INDICATOR filed December 7, 2010

NHTSA complaint #829544 (ODI reference 10369445) concerns a 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO and was filed on December 7, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on June 1, 2010. The vehicle had 72,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as power train:manual transmission:shift pattern indicator, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET SILVERADO cohort independently describe similar power train:manual transmission:shift pattern indicator failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
