1995 Chevrolet C2500 Engine Problems

Owner-reported complaints naming the engine system, filed with NHTSA

Data refreshed

Engine reportsComplaints 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.

VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING AT 65 MPH. DASHBOARD LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON. ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD (WHERE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY) IT FINALLY RE-STARTED. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HOME. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO MAKE ANOTHER TRIP, THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY HOME. I EVENTUALLY WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FINAL OUTCOME WAS THAT THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE PROBLEM. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR GM VEHICLES. MY TRUCK IS A 6.5 LITER DIESEL. WHICH MAY BE THE REASON IT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT AND SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

UPON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, TRUCK ENGINE STOPS AS IF THE SWITCH HAS BEEN CUT OFF, OF COURSE IT HASN`T. THE LAST TIME, 11/02/99, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START BACK, AS IT HAD IN THE PAST. HOWEVER AFTER CALLING A WRECKER,AND WAITING ABOUT 30 MINUTES, IT CRANK WITH NO PROBLEM AND PERFORMED PERFECTLY. DROVE TO REPAIR SHOP, CUMPUTER ANALIZER SHOWED NO PROBLEM. TRUCK ALWAYS STOPS AT A LOW SPEED, 5 TO 20 MPH. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON HOW TO FIND AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU EARL HAYES

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.
