2005 Chevrolet SSR — reported problems
CarFaultIQ holds 588 evidence records for the 2005 Chevrolet SSR, drawn from official sources and owner complaints.
What owners report: issue areas
Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 40 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.
- Doors, latches & locks12 (30.0%)
- Electrical system6 (15.0%)
- Body & structure6 (15.0%)
- Powertrain (transmission & drivetrain)4 (10.0%)
- Fuel system3 (7.5%)
- Air bags (restraint system)2 (5.0%)
These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.
What the records are about, by source
Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.
- Owner complaints (148 records, model years 2003–2006) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, body & structure and doors, latches & locks.
- Manufacturer communications (2,882 records, model years 2003–2006) are most frequently classified under: equipment & accessories, electrical system and engine.
"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
Mileage reported when the issue occurred
- 27reports included a mileage
- 25,867average of those mileages
This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
Evidence by model year

Diagnostic codes found in evidence for this vehicle
These codes appear by explicit identifier in official records matched to this exact model and year.
A code appearing in a record means the code was named in that document. It is not a diagnosis of this vehicle, not a fault this vehicle has, and not an indication of urgency. Diagnosis requires reading live data from the vehicle.
