2000 Chevrolet C/K Pickups Problems

I AM ONE OF THE THE LUCKY ONES. I WAS PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND THE REAR BRAKE LINE BLEW AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR! I'M VERY LUCKY I DID NOT GO THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR! I HAVE THE TRUCK AT SUTHERLAND CHEVROLET WAITING FOR THE DAMAGES $$$$ I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE MILEAGE BECAUSE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP. CORRODED BRAKE LINES!

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE, A LARGER GMC DUALLY. I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE ENTERED MY LANE AT NEAR OR EQUAL SPEED AND STRUCK ME HEAD ON. I HAD TIME TO REACT BY STOMPING THE BRAKES BUT I SEEMED TO NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD NO WHERE TO TURN ALL POSSIBLE LANES OF AVOIDANCE WERE BLOCKED WITH SMALLER CARS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY... IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT BY LAW CARS/LIGHT TRUCKS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO HAVE AIRBAGS IF THEY ARE 1998 OR NEWER. I UNDERSTAND A LIGHT TRUCK TO BE UP TO 8,600 LBS GROSS WEIGHT WITH PAYLOAD. THIS STANDARD INCLUDES MY TRUCK, I SUSTAINED SEVER INJURIES TO MY NECK/CHEST AND RUPTURED DISCS IN MY BACK RESULTING IN EMERGENCY BACK SURGERY. IF I HAD AIRBAGS I AM SURE MY INJURIES WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN NEARLY AS SERVER AND I MY HAVE NOT LOST SO MUCH. SOMEONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AND I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL ASSISTANCE YOU CAN OFFER ME. THANK YOU *TR

HAVE A 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71 STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH UNWANTED ANTILOCK BRAKE ACTIVATION AT LOW SPEED BRAKE APPLICATIONS WHICH RESULTED IN SEVERAL CLOSE CALLS. CONTACTED DEALER AFTER FINDING RECALL #05V379000 WHICH HAS LIMITED RECALL TO SO CALLED "SALT BELT" STATES. TOLD DEALER THAT I HAVE TRAVELED FREQUENTLY THROUGH SALT BELT STATES AND HIS REPLY WAS THE RECALL DID NOT EFFECT ME AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. BUT IT IS SAME PROBLEM LISTED IN RECALL. ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS RECALL ON AIRBAG SENSOR FOR MY VEHICLE" 02V178000" BUT MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT HAVE RECALL PERFORMED BECAUSE OF MILEAGE. *TR

FUEL GAUGE INTERMITTENT SHORT IN WIRING AT SENDING UNIT. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE ABOUT POSSIBLE SHORT CAUSING EXPLOSION HAZARD. CONTACTED [XXX] CHEV. IN HOOVER, AL. AND WAS TOLD I WAS OVER MILEAGE LIMIT FOR RECALL. DOES THAT MEAN IT WON'T EXPLODE AFTER 75,000 MILES? I PAID $916.00 FOR REPAIRS. THIS SUCKS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2000 SILVERADO DOES NOT WORK. EVIDENTLY, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE SENSOR IN THE TANK REACTING TO THE ADDITIVES IN THE GASOLINE. THIS BRAKS THE SENSOR DOWN AND CAUSES THE FUEL FILTER TO CLOG AND TO MAKE THE PUMP WORK HARDER AND FAIL. I KNOW OF 5 OR 6 PEOPLE IN MY CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. I APPRECIATE ANY HELP, LIKE I SAID I KNOW OF QUITE FEW PEOPLE WITH THIS PROBLEM WHO WOULD LOVE TO TAKE GM DOWN ON THIS. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY INFO, THANKS AGAIN, BOB. *JB DAMAGE RESULTING = HUGE COST, OVER $700.00 AT A GM DEALER. POSSIBLE ENGINE FAILURE AS FUEL FILTER CLOGS AND FULE PUMP FAILS.

ACCELERATOR PEDAL REQUIRES EXCESSIVE EFFORT TO MOVE. THIS HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR ACCIDENTS WHEN MY VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD UPON THE PEDAL UN-STICKING. MOST RECENT INCIDENT INVOLVED MY WIFE, UN-FAMILIER WITH THE PROBLEM, HAVING TO STOMP ON THE PEDAL WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON A RAINY DAY. THE RESULT OF THE PEDAL UN-STICKING WAS THAT THE VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD TOWARDS ANOTHER VEHICLE. MY WIFE BARELY AVOIDED HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT ONLY BY SWERVING OFF OF THE ROAD AND INTO A DITCH. OUR 6 YEAR OLD SON AND 6 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME.*AK

DUE TO THE LACK OF ACCELERATION CONTOL VEHICLE BRAKES ARE UNDER A STRAIN WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. VEHICLES RPMS ARE EXCEEDING OUT OF CONTROL AND CONSUMER CANNOT CONTROL ENGINES FUNCTIONS.IF BRAKES WERE TO FAIL COULD NOT STOP VEHICLE.BULLETIN NO:00-06-04-007 FROM ALLDATA DATE 02/2000 STATES PROBLEM AND AWARENESS FROM GM. GM NEEDS TO RECALL VEHICLE DUE TO SAFETY ISSUE.MODELS:1999-2000 CHEVROLET AND GMC C/K PICK UP MODELS (SILVERADO AND SIERRA) WITH 4.8L,5.3L,OR6.0L V8 ENGINE (VINS V,T,U-RPOS LR4.LM7,LQ4). *AK

TL*-THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET PICKUP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY HE HIS UNABLE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT. LOSE OF STEERING WHILE DRIVING INCREASES THE RISK OF VEHICLE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND A TECHNICIAN ADVISED HIM THAT BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 150,000. UPDATED 11/12/09 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE POWER STEERING WOULD WORK AND OTHER TIMES WHEN THE STEERING MECHANISM WAS NOT COOPERATING AT ALL AND WANTED TO STEER TO THE LEFT. UPDATED 11/16/09 THE CONSUMER STATED THE LACK OF POWER STEEING ASSIST HAS BEEN AN ISSUE SINCE 2003. IT STARTED AS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM IN THE MORNINGS, AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. UPDATED 11/17/10

I WAS DRIVING MY 2000 CHEVROLET PICK UP (4 WHEEL DRIVE SILVERADO) WHEN, WITHOUT ANY NOISE OR OTHER TYPE OF WARNING THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND THE MECHANIC SAID THEY HAD DONE THREE OR FOR OF THESE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE SHAFT IN THE POWER STEERING PUMP SNAPS IN HALF WHERE IT HAS BEEN MILLED TO FORM THE GEAR. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE, BECAUSE IT TAKES A VERY STRONG PERSON TO EVEN TURN THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY WITH NO POWER STEERING.
