2000 Chevrolet C/K Series 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.

I HAVE OWNED A 2000 CHEVY TAHOE FOR 3+ YEAR AND HAVE HAD ANTI LOCK BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE BRAKE DO NOT ENGAGE SOMETIMES AND ALMOST CAUSE ME TO CRASH AND CREATING A DAMGEROUS SITUATION. I AM A CAREFUL DRIVER SO I ALWAY KEEP THE PROBLEM IN MIND AND TRY TO ALWAYS GIVE MY SELF ENOUGH TIME TO STOP, BUT SOMETIME IN EMERGENCY WHEN I REALLY NEED THE BRAKES THEY DON'T ENGAGE AND HAVE ALMOST HAD ACCIDENTS. THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. THE BRAKE DON'T ENGAGE AND THE VEHICLE KEEPS GOING EVEN WITH FULL PRESSURE. MOST OBVIOUS WHEN ROAD IS WET. VERY SCARY

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.
