1974 Chevrolet C20 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.

From owner reports, verbatim

I NEED TO FIND OUT WHETHER THIS TRUCK WAS RECALLED FOR HAVING SIDE SADDLE FUEL TANKS MOUNTED OUTSIDE THE FRAME. THE VEHICLE WAS ABANDONED IN MY YARD APPROXIMATELY THE SUMMER OF 1996. IN FEBRUARY OF 2000, I FOLLOWED THE REQUIRED PROCEDURES TO OBTAIN TITLE TO THE VEHICLE. I REPLACED THE ENGINE AND ENOUGH OTHER COMPONENTS TO MAKE THE TRUCK ROAD-WORTHY AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR A YEAR. I JUST BECAME AWARE OF THIS FUEL TANK PROBLEM AND NEED TO FIND OUT WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED. I DON'T THINK THE PREVIOUS OWNER TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR ANY TYPE OF RETROFIT BECAUSE IT HAS BEEN DISABLED IN MY YARD FOR ABOUT 5 YEARS. IF THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW I CAN MAKE USE OF IT.*AK

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.
