2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Exterior lighting Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the exterior lighting system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Exterior lighting 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.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE MAIN WIRING SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REPAIR CAUSED THE HEADLIGHT AND RADIO TO BECOME INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST FOR THE HEADLIGHTS AND RADIO FAILURE BEFORE BEING REPAIRED. THE HEADLIGHT AND RADIO WERE NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 119,694.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS CAR MAKERS TRYING TO GAIN MORE FUEL ECONOMY BY HAVING THEM MAKE THEIR VEHICLES SMALLER AND LIGHTER, BUT THAT IS FOR CARS ALMOST ONLY. SO NOW THAT TRUCK REMAIN STANDARD AS BEFORE THEIR HEAD LIGHTS ON DIM ARE HIGHER THEN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR IN THE CARS THEREFORE CAUSING BLINDNESS TO THE CAR DRIVER. THE GOV. SHOULD SET A MAX. HEIGHT FOR HEADLIGHTS TO BE OFF THE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SITTING ON A LEVEL SURFACE. AND THEN THE LAW ALLOWS SOME OF THESE TRUCK OWNERS TO JACK THEIR UNIT UP EVEN HIGHER THAN STANDARD TO WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS OR EVEN ABOVE THE ROOF OF THE CARS AND IT VERY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT WHEN YOU MEET ONE COMING OR ONE PULLS UP BEHIND YOU. OF COURSE I KNOW THERE WILL BE NOTHING DONE ON SOMETIME LIKE THIS UNTIL 100 PEOPLE HAVE WRECKS AND OR KILLED OR THEY RUN OVER SOMEONE FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE THEM IN THE BLINDING LIGHTS OF A STANDARD HIGH RISE TRUCK. RIGHT? *TR

FLASHER IS CONSTANTLY CLICKING WHEN NO BLINKER OR HAZARD LIGHT ARE TURNED ON WHICH CAUSES YOU TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR TURN SIGNAL ON SO THAT YOU CAN PERFORM A TURN OR LANE CHANGE IN WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE FALSE SENSE OF THE CLICKING OF THE FLASHER. I'VE REPLACED IT TWICE AND IT CONTINUES. YOU COME TO DEPEND ON THE BLINKER LIGHTS AND FLASHER CLICKING TO HELP LET YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BLINKER IS ON. IT STARTED OFF GRADUALLY FROM CLICKING TO 20-60 SECONDS THEN JUST CONSTANTLY. *NM
