Phoenix is demanding on a Chevrolet G3500. Extreme heat, stop-and-go traffic and long highway miles on the I-17, the 51 and the Loop 101 all show up as wear. Below are the Chevrolet G3500 problems owners report most often, what each one looks like from the driver's seat, and how we fix it.

What it looks like:
- Vibration at highway speed

What it looks like:

What we do: Brake complaints turn up on nearly every vehicle, and Phoenix stop-and-go traffic wears brake parts quickly. We measure pads and rotors, check calipers and fluid, and replace only what is worn. See our brake repair page.

What it looks like:

Chevrolet G3500 Maintenance in Phoenix Heat
- Test the G3500 battery before every summer, and replace it proactively around the 3-year mark
- Follow the severe-service schedule for oil and fluids, since Phoenix heat and traffic count as severe use
- Inspect G3500 brakes and tires twice a year; heat and stop-and-go driving wear both quickly
- Check coolant level and condition, and inspect belts and hoses for cracking
- Service the A/C early; a weak system rarely fixes itself
- Replace wiper blades and check lights, since sun destroys rubber and plastics
