2000 Chevrolet Beauville Problems

Owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA, grouped by component

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A MAJOR DRIVETRAIN VIBRATION PROBLEM @55MPH/2200RPM. THIS MPH/RPM WAS THE INITIAL INDICATOR OF A PROBLEM. OVER THE LAST 700+ MILES THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED AND IS NOW ALMOST CONTINUALLY PRESENT. ALSO, AT CONSTANT RATES OF SPEED, GENERALLY ABOVE 35MPH, IF YOU ARE DRIVING IN A STRAIGHT LINE FOR OVER ~ A QUATER MILE OR MORE, THE DRIVE TRAIN FEELS LIKE IT IS SHIFTING LATERALLY AND WILL THEN PULL THE VEHICLE SIDEWAYS WHILE YOU CONTINUE TO HOLD THE STEERING WHEEL STRAIGHT. AS YOU MAKE A STEERING CORRECTION IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF THE PULL, THE VEHICLE TENDS TO OVER-CORRECT IN THAT DIRECTION. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS TO THE SHOP FOREMAN, DEALER CUSTOMER SERVICE MANAGER, AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, THE CHEVROLET DEALER HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THESE CONCERNS CALLING THEM "ROAD & TIRE NOISE". THIS LAST TIME (7/25/00) THE SHOP FORMAN DISMISSED THE PROBLEM AGAIN AS "HEARD ROAD NOISE AND TIRE VIBRATION" EVEN THOUGH THE REPAIR INVOICE REFLECTED NO CHANGE IN MILAGE DRIVEN (MILAGE IN 1184/MILAGE OUT 1184). THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALSO ATTEMPTED TO DISMISS THE PROBLEMS AS "A BAD TIRE" BUT HAS NEVER EXAMINED THE TIRES FOR BALENCE, ETC. (EACH WHEEL HAS ONE NUT CONTAINING TORQUE-SEAL & NONE OF THE TORQUE-SEAL HAS BEEN DISTURBED). I HAVE ALREADY SENT AN E-MAIL TO THE DEALERS CORPORATE OWNERS (BILL HEARD ENTERPRISES) WITH NO RESPONSE AT ALL. IF THESE PROBLEMS ARE NOT CORRECTED IN THIS VEHICLE IT WILL CERTAINLY RESULT IN A WRECK AND PERSONAL INJURY, IF NOT DEATH. HAS THIS PROBLEM BEEN PRESENTED BY ANY OTHER OWNERS OR DEALERS? *AK

NHTSA ID 726464 · filed Aug 2, 2000

Too few reports in this category for a page of its own — they appear in the full complaint list.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
