2001 Chevrolet C/K Pickups Problems

WAS LOOKING TO PARK IN A SUPER MARKET AND WHEN I SLOWED TO TURN IN AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT VIBRATED AND ACTUALLY ATTEMPTED TO SPEED UP SLIGHTLY. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE STAINLESS STEEL ROTORS HAD RUST ON THEM AND THE SENSOR WASN'T WORKING RIGHT. POLISHED THEM AND IT WAS GOOD FOR A YEAR OR SO. THE NEXT THING ABOUT A YEAR LATER I GOT A RECALL FOR THE SAME THING FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THEY HAD TO DO THE SAME PROCESS. THEY DID REIMBURSE ME FROM THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. *TR

I OWN A 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO EXTENDED CAB 4X4, THERE WAS A RECALL AROUND 2005 FOR THE ABS ENGAGING AT SLOW SPEEDS. THE SERVICE WAS COMPLETED IN 2006. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, THE ABS STARTED DOING IT AGAIN. THE DEALER SAID THEY ALREADY DID THE RECALL SERVICE SO I NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS THIS TIME. I BELIEVE THAT IF THE ORIGINAL RECALL SERVICE DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED AGAIN. TRUCK HAS AROUND 104,000 MILES ON IT. THE ABS STARTED WORKING IMPROPERLY AT ABOUT 100,000 MILES. I HAVE HAD NO CRASHES YET BECAUSE OF THIS. *TR

INTERMEDIATE STEERING COLUMN SHAFT - CONSTANT CLUNKING NOISE. HAD SERVICED AT 21K MILES AND NOW BAD AGAIN AT 43K MILES. SUPPOSEDLY SAFE PER DEALER, JUST AN ANNOYANCE. BUT IT COULD DUPLICATE/MASK A SIMILAR CLUNKING NOISE WHICH COULD BE SUSPENSION RELATED AND UNSAFE. A DRIVER WOULD ASSUME IT WAS THE STEERING ISSUE BUT IN REALITY IT MAY NOT BE, POTENTIALLY LEADING TO LOSS OF CONTROL/ACCIDENT. *NM

CHECKED INTERMEDIATE SHAFT ON THE STEERING. IT WAS RATTLIN . THE SHOP SAID THEY WOULD GREASE IT . THEY WERE ASKED IF IT WOULD BE OK THEY SAID YES. NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF REGULAR WARRATY . THE SOAY IT SHOULD BE CHANGED. THEIR ARE OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ALSO. IT ON A2001 CHEVY PCKUP. I JUST WAS WONDERING IF IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. ALSO IT IS LIKE GM. IS WATING TILL THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT. *AK

THE STUD COMING OUT OF THE BALL JOINT OF THE TIE ROD SNAPPED AT THE BALL JOINT. DT

WHENEVER VEHICLE GOES OVER A BUMP IT WILL BOUNCE ALL OVER THE ROAD. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE IN ON AUGUST 6, 2001 TO GET SHOCK ABSORBERS PUT ON. ON AUGUST 8, 2001 SHOCKABSORBERS WERE STILL NOT ON. *AK

I WAS LOADING MY 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO Z71. WHEN BOTH TAIL GATE SUPPORTS BROKE. I FELL OUT OF THE BACK OF MY TRUCK ON MY HEAD LUCKILY I WAS JUST SCRATCHED UP BUT MY TRUCK WAS NOT AS LUCKY I HAVE 1,000 DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE. *LA

I RUN A CAR DEALERSHIP AND I WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE TWO CABLES ON CHEVROLET FULL SIZE PICKUPS THAT SECURE THE TAILGATE ON 99-02 MODELS. I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THESE TRUCKS WHERE THE CABLES HAVE FAILED AND BROKE. THERE IS NO WAY THAT THOSE CABLES ARE STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP FROM BREAKING WITH A LITTLE ADDED WEIGHT SUCH AS A CHILD OR AN ADULT. THEY ARE AS DANGEROUS OF A DESIGN AS I HAVE EVER SEEN. PLUS, I AM TIRED OF PAYING FOR THESE CABLES ON EVERY TRUCK THAT COMES IN TO MY LOT FOR RESALE. THEY ARE WAY TO EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE. A CABLE THAT SHOULD COST $4 OR $5 COST OVER $30. GM IS GETTING RICH ON THE REPLACEMENT PARTS OF THESE CABLES AND THEY KNOW IT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND IF YOU INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER I AM 100% SURE YOU WILL AGREE TOO.*AK

I HAVE A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AND THE TAILGATE STRAPS BROKE WHILE I WAS STANDING ON THE TAILGATE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT BOTH CABLES HAD CORRODED TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I PRESENTED THIS TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY WERE HAPPY TO SELL MY REPLACEMENT PARTS AND WISH ME THE BEST OF LUCK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL PARTS. I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THESE EVERY OTHER YEAR AT $100/SET.

TAILGATE CABLES RUST AND WILL BREAK WITHOUT WARNING!!!

THE SEAT BELT DESIGN PREVENTS TALL INDIVIDUALS FROM BEING ABLE TO PROPERLY BUCKLE THE FRONT SEAT BELT, THE BELT CAN NOT BE ADJUSTED TO ELIMINATE THE PRESSURE OF THE SEAT BELT INTO THE DRIVER/PASSENGER'S COLLAR BONE. NLM

I AM AN AUTOMATIC CAR WASH OWNER. I HAVE TRIED TO ENGAGE THE AREA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE FROM CHEVROLET TO MEET WITH ME, BUT THIS PERSON HAS YET TO AGREE TO PERSONALLY DISCUSS THEIR (IN MY OPINION) ENGINEERING DEFECT WITH ME. 2000 THROUGH 2004 SUV'S WITH MANUALLY FOLDING MIRRORS COME APART BY MERELY FOLDING THEM IN PREPARATION FOR GOING THROUGH MY WASH. I HAVE FOUND THAT A PIVOT SHAFT RETAINING FASTENER UNLOADS ITSELF OF THE SPRING PRESSURE DURING THE FOLDING-IN PROCESS CAUSING THE VEHICLE OWNER A SAFETY ISSUE OF A NON-VIEWABLE SIDE MIRROR DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE MIRROR IS ENGINEERED TO BE FOLDED IN AND OUT TO GO THROUGH CAR WASHES. *NM

MY AC DELCO BATTERY MALFUNCTIONED. A PLASTIC INSERT ON THE POSITIVE TERMINAL MELTED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HE REFUSED TO HONOR THE SIX YEAR WARRANTY ON THE BATTERY BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. I CONTACTED AN AC DELCO SERVICE CENTER AND THEY REFUSED TO HONOR THE SIX YEAR WARRANTY ON THE BASIS THAT WHEN THE WARRANTY ON THE TRUCK EXPIRED, SO DID THEIR SIX YEAR WARRANTY THAT IS NO GOOD. THAT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. I HOPE YOU CAN HELP AS I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH AC DELCO BATTERY. *PH *JB **DIMSII IVOQ ENTRY POSTED AFTER 12/12/02 CUT OVER TO ARTEMIS**768029

REAR TIRES ARE WEARING OUT EXCESSIVELY DUE TO OVER INFLATION. OWNER MAINTAINED CORRECT AIR PRESSURE ACCORDING TO MANUAL.*AK

MY DAUGHTER MISSED A CURVE IN HEAVY FOG AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON AT ABOUT 40-45 MPH. THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE IMPACT WAS A FEW INCHES LEFT OF CENTER AND WAS SUCH THAT IT MOVED THE ENGINE BLOCK BACK INTO THE CAB OF THE PICKUP. IT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.
