2002 Chevrolet Chevrolet Truck Problems

VEHICLE WOULDN'T DRIVE OVER 15 MPH AS IF I LOST ALL OF MY TORQUE. MECHANIC LOOKED AT VEHICLE TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG AND FOUND OUT MULTIPLE ISSUES INCLUDING: FRONT AND REAR BRAKES BARELY WORKING, MASTER CYLINDERS MESSED UP, OIL LEAKS, TRANSMISSION LEAKS, COOLANT LEAKS, CONTROL ARMS HAVE RUSTED OUT ON BOTH SIDES BUT WE'RE WELDED (WHICH MAKES THEM WEAKER) I'VE BROKEN DOWN 4 TIMES IN A WEEK IN THIS VEHICLE BUT MY CONTRACTOR IN ITS IN ME DRIVING IT. *TR

UNDERCARRIAGE STEEL BRAKE LINES RUPTURED CAUSED BY ROAD SALT CORROSION RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES. *TR

I PURCHASED VEHICLE USED WITH 11500 MILES ON IT FROM A USED CAR DEALERSHIP HERE IN MONROE, LOUISIANA. I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF A FAULTY TAILGATE CABLE AND FUEL FILTER FOR THE 6.6 DURAMAX DIESEL. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HAD THIS TAKEN CARE OFF. WHEN I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP I MET A CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OWNER AND HE SAW ME DRIVE UP IN THE TRUCK. HE ASKED IF I HAVE HAD ANY TROUBLE WITH THE FUEL INJECTIONS. I ADVISED HIM I HAVE NOT NOTICED ANY DIFFERENCE IN THE FUEL ECONOMY OR LEAKING FUEL. HE HAD THREE DURAMAX DIESELS AND ALL OF THEM HAD FUEL INJECTION PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, ALL OF THEM WERE SLIGHTLY OVER THE MILEAGE LIMIT TO BE COVERED UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. SINCE THEN I QUESTIONED IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL INJECTION. I RECENTLY HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN THE SHOP TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE SHOP PLACED IT ON THE COMPUTER AND NOTICED A FUEL INJECTION ERROR CODE. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AFTERWARDS TO GET A ROUND ABOUT ESTIMATE BEFORE I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR AND THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT EACH FUEL INJECTOR WOULD COST $400.00 PLUS LABOR ON EACH FUEL INJECTOR FOR COMPLETE OVERALL. LETS JUST SAY I WAS STILL DRIVING THE TRUCK UN REPAIRED. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AND SEE IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. *AK

THE GEAR POSITION SENSOR ON THE SIDE OF THE ALLISON TRANSMISSION FAILED IN TRAFFIC DURING RAINY CONDITIONS CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO QUIT WORKING. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GET THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT INTO DEFAULT SECOND AND MAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP WHERE I GOT THE PART REPLACED HOPEFULLY WITH AN IMPROVED PART. MY TRUCK IS A 2002 CHEVROLET K2500.

PROBLEMS WITH REMOVING THE SPARE TIRE. TOOK TO SEVERAL TIRE STORES AND THEY COULD NOT REMOVE IT. BOTH TIRE VENDORS SAID THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE SPARE TIRE. AFTER TAKING TRUCK BACK TO DEALER THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO CUT SOMETING ON THE FRAM AND IT WOULD BE $40. THIS OBVIOUSLY HAS HAPPENED BEFORE AND SHOULD BE COVERED.*AK

GOODYEAR, WRANGLER RT/S SAFETY DEFECTS - SIDEWALL BULGES AND BUMPS. ONLY 8,000-MILES ON THE TIRES. THE FIRST SIGN THAT SOMETHING WRONG WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF AN "OSCILLATING ROTATIONAL NOICE" WHEN DRIVING. IT GREW LOUDER WITH TIME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER TO CHECK THE BEARINGS, BRAKES, ALLIGNMENT, , ETC. FOR A PORBLEM. NONE WAS FOUND. THEN A "THUMPING" SOUND AT LOW SPEEDS DEVELOPED. I HAD THE AUTO DEALER INSTALL MY SNOW TIRES AND ALL UNUSUAL SOUNDS AND "THUMPS" DISAPPEARED. THE TIRE MANUFACTURER ASKED ME TO TAKE THE TIRES TO A LOCAL DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION. THE DEALER SAYS THAT SIDEWALL BULGES AND BUMPS ARE NORMAL AND THAT GOODYEAR WILL NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE TIRES. THERE ARE ONLY ABOUT 8,000-MILES ON THE GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES. I CAN ONLY BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A SERIOUS MANUFACTURING AND SAFETY DEFECT WITH TIRES THAT DEVELOP BULGES, BUMPS, MAKE ROTATIONAL SOUNDS AND THUMPING NOISES. I THINK THERE COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY DEFECT AT HAND THAT THE MANUFACTURER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AND REPAIR THROUGH TIRE REPLACEMENT AND INVESTIGATION OF THE PROBLEM. PROMPT ACTION COULD SAVE LIVES, APPARENTLY NOT A TOP PRIORITY. *AK

COMPLETE FAILURE OF STEERING. *AK

INNER TIE ROD END CAME UNSCREWED AND CAUSED TOTAL LOSS OF STEERING. *JB

1. SUB QUALITY BOLTS USED TO HOLD MANIFOLD TO HEADS MANIFOLD BECAME LOOSE FROM HEADS 2. TRUCK HAD 49,695 MILES AND ALL TWELVE BOLTS HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE BROKEN AND RUSTED CAUSING SAFETY HAZARD. 3. MANIFOLD WAS REMOVED AND TWELVE NEW BOLTS WERE USED TO REPLACED DEFECTIVE BOLTS. *TR

MY 2002 GM SILVERADO HD 2500 8.1 ENGINE STALLS AT ALL SPEEDS. THIS WILL USUALLY HAPPEN WITH IN THE FIRST 15 MIN OF DRIVING TIME . BUT NOT EVERY TIME, WHEN IT STALLS I PULL OVER WAIT ABOUT 2 TO 3 MIN AND IT WILL USUALLY START AND FUN FINE. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED ON A SCANNER WITH NO ERROR CODE. I TOW A CAR TRAILER BEHIND THIS TRUCK AND THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING TO HAPPEN WILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE HWY AT 70 MPH. HELP *TR

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS. FROM A STOP, YOU HAVE TO PUSH HARD ON THE PEDAL TO GET IT TO "BREAK FREE". THIS CAUSES THE MOTOR TO REV TO OVER 2200 RPM, JERKING FORWARD OR BACKWARD, AS THE CASE MAY BE. WHEN CRUSING AT ANY SPEED FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, THE PEDAL WILL "STICK", AND GREAT FORCE MUST BE APPLIED TO CHANGE SPEEDS.

DEALER INSTALLED HYPERTECH POWER PROGRAMMER III WHICH IS "ILLEGAL FOR SALE OR USE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA", WITHOUT MY CONSENT OR KNOWLEDGE, ON A BRAND NEW 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK. VEHICLE ALSO WAS MODIFIED WITH PARTS NOT APPROVED BY GENERAL MOTOR DURING NEW CAR MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY AND PRIOR TO NEW VEHICLE SALE AND REGISTRATION.

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS FAILED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE ROAD DURING A SNOWSTORM. IT APPEARS THAT THE LINKAGE FROM THE DRIVER SIDE WIPER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WIPER MAY HAVE FAILED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED BECAUSE SNOW BEING WIPED ON THE DOWNWARD CYCLE OF THE WIPER IS PUSHED INTO AN AREA WHERE THE WIPER ARM IS DESIGNED TO FIT, CAUSING AN OBSTRUCTION TO THE MOVEMENT OF THE WIPER ARM. HAD THIS FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO THE DRIVER NEGLECTING TO REMOVE BUILT-UP SNOW FROM THE AREA PRIOR TO PLACING THE VEHICLE INTO SERVICE, I WOULD NOT COMPLAIN. HOWEVER, THIS FAILURE OCCURRED DUE TO SNOW THAT BUILT UP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN SERVICE ON THE ROAD. IN ORDER TO PREVENT THIS FROM RECURRING WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN SIMILAR CONDITIONS, THE OPERATOR WILL HAVE TO PERIODICALLY STOP THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE THE SNOW BUILD-UP IN THE AREA OF IMPINGEMENT BETWEEN THE WIPER ARM AND THE FARING IT FITS INTO. THIS ACTION REPRESENTS SOME RISK TO THE OPERATOR IF DONE ON THE ROADSIDE. NOT TAKING THIS RISK HOWEVER CAUSES THE OPERATOR TO RISK DAMAGE TO HIS VEHICLE AS WELL AS LOOSING THE USE OF THE WIPERS.

DOOR LOCK IS NOT WORKING ON DRIVERS SIDE OF CHEVY S-10 2002 , I WANT TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE IS ON LIST FOR REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM. *TR
