2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Fuel system Problems

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK USED APPROX. ON 10/2016. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS I BEGAN TO SMELL GAS. I FOUND THE FUEL LINES RUSTED THROUGH AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL LINES FROM THE TANK TO THE ENGINE. LAST WEEK A BRAKE LINE FAILED DUE TO RUST PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT. THE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. A LINE HAD TO BE REPLACED FROM THE ABS PUMP TO THE REAR AXEL. I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THE REST OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE IN VERY POOR CONDITION. THE COST TO REPAIR WILL EXCEED THE VALUE OF THE TRUCK.

PURCHASE NEW IN 2001, AROUND 35,000 MILES THE FUEL LIGHT WOULD COME ON FOR NO REASON, EVEN WHEN TANK WAS FULL. WHILE DRIVING THE SYSTEM LIGHT WOULD SHOW LOW FUEL AND THE FUEL GAGE WOULD SHOW EMPTY. TOOK TO DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC STUDENT AT SCHOOL THAT THE SENDING UNIT AND WIRING WAS BAD. I RECEIVED A GM NOTICE ABOUT THE FIX BUT DEALER SAID THAT WASN'T THE PROBLEM I HAVE 72,000 MILES ON TRUCK AND IT STILLS JUMPS TO EMPTY FOR NO REASON.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT FROM THIRD TO FOURTH THE ENGINE APPEARED TO HAVE A STUCK THROTTLE CABLE. PULLED THE TRUCK SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND CHECK THE THROTTLE CABLE MAKING SURE IT WAS NOT BROKEN OR KINKED. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND THE RPMS AT IDOL WERE AT 2000 AND THEN I PLACED THE TRUCK INTO FIRST GEAR AND BEGAN TO MOVE FORWARD TOWARDS MY HOME. AS I SHIFTED FROM 1 TO SECOND THE RPMS BEGAN TO RISE. AS I PLACED THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN RPMS TO 3000 AND THEN ONTO 4000. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL AND ALLOW THE MOTION OF THE ENGINE TO PUSH THE TRUCK FORWARD AND USING THE BRAKES I WAS ABLE TO KEEP SPEEDS BELOW 45 AND WHEN THE TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE ENGINE RPMS CONTINUED TO RISE ABOVE 4000. AFTER GETTING THE TRUCK HOME AND INSPECTION OF THE THROTTLE BODY, A HALF CUP MOVABLE PLATE WAS FOUND ATTACHED TO THE BUTTERFLY..THIS HAD PREVENTED THE BUTTERFLY TO CLOSE AND HAD TORN FROM THE BUTTERFLY PLATE. I HAVE NOT FOUND ANY DOCUMENTATION ON THIS PLATE OR CUP ON ANY SITES NOR IS IT MENTIONED IN ANY OWNER MANUALS. I WAS LUCKY, BUT OTHERS WHO ARE NOT MECHANICALLY INCLINED MAY NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO OR EVEN AN INCREASE CHANCE OF AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN A DEATH OR INJURY. *TR

I HAD AN ACCIDENT AT LOW SPEED BECAUSE OF UNWANTED (ABS) BRAKES ACTIVATION. I CONTINUE TO HAVE PROBLEMS AS I STOP AT LOW SPEED MY TRUCK MOVES FORWARD AGAIN AFTER THE STOP CAUSING A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. I BOUGHT MY TRUCK IN FLORIDA. FOR THIS REASON MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON A RECALL LIST DUE TO THE FACT I PURCHASED IN A NON CORROSIVE STATE. I HAD TO COME TO OHIO QUITE OFTEN TO CARE FOR MY ILL MOTHER STARTING IN 2009. I ALSO HAVE EXPERIENCED PROBLEMS WITH THE SENSORS RECALLED, THE TAILGATE RECALLED(ACTUALLY FELL OFF THE TRUCK 3 TIMES WHILE I WAS ENROUTE), THE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR RECALL( NOT LETTING ME KNOW WHETHER I HAD GAS OR NOT), THE SEATS RECALL. ALL OF THIS DUE TO FAULTY PARTS CORRODING, AFTER I CAME TO OHIO, WHICH IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I NEED MY VIN NUMBER ADDED TO THE RECALL SO I CAN HAVE THESE THINGS REPLACED BY A DEALER. I CANNOT DRIVE MY TRUCK NOW BECAUSE IT ISN'T SAFE. I HAVE TO TRANSPORT MY LITTLE GRAND CHILDREN AND ITS THE ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE. *TR

FIRST INCIDENT OF THE FUEL SENSOR FAILING (LOW FUEL LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR FALSE) WAS AT 68,400 MILES. 2ND TIME FAILED ON 04/16/2011 AT 98,500 MILES WHICH COSTS ME ANOTHER 800.00 BUCKS. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME ITS STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN AT 118,300 MILES, AND WILL PROBABLY COST ME AGAIN!! I CAN SEE IT HAPPENING ONCE, BUT NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT CAN HAPPEN 3 TIMES THAT IS RIDICULOUS, NOT TO MENTION THE EXPENSE! CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE HAD SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS OR LEAST FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THE PART AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. THIS ISSUE COULD BE DANGEROUS AND PEOPLE HAVE LITTLE CHOICE FOR SAFETY REASONS BUT TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AT GREAT EXPENSE. THIS NEEDS A RECALL ..NOT EVERYONE HAS $800.00 LAYING AROUND AND GM SHOULD FIX THIS FOR FREE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS A 2ND, 3RD TIME! COME ON GM YOUR REP IS ON THE LINE.. *TR

IN ABOUT 2006, THE FUEL GAUGE IN MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK STOPPED FUNCTIONING. IT SHOWED EMPTY WHEN TANK WAS FULL. NO RECALL NOTICE WAS ISSUED TO US. WHEN HE HAD DIAGNOSED, THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BAD CHIP OR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, OR SWITCH. IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE TO FIX.AT THIS TIME I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER & UNDERWENT SURGERY $ MOS. OF CHEMO. MY HUSBAND,MILITARY RETIREE, STAYED WITH ME IN HOSPITAL. AFTER MY CHEMO, HE HAD BOTH HIPS REPLACED AND WAS BEING TREATED UNTIL 2013 FOR SPINAL INJECTIONS. IN JULY 2013, HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH STAGE 4 CANCER & PASSED AWAY IN AUGUST. IN THE MEANTIME, WHEN HE DROVE THE TRUCK HE RECORDED MILEAGE AFTER A FILL IN ORDER TO KEEP TRACK OF AMT. OF FUEL.I ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT THIS AS BEING NON-SAFE, BUT HE COULD ONLY GET INTO A TRUCK BECAUSE OF HIS MEDICAL CONDITION, SO OUR CHOICES WERE LIMITED.NOW AFTER HIS PASSING, THE TRUCK IS IN MY NAME BUT I DO NOT DRIVE IT BECAUSE I AM AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY BECAUSE OF THE DEFECT.I AM STILL UNDER THE CARE OF AN ONCOLOGIST AND NEED THE TRUCK AT THIS TIME. ARE YOU ABLE TO HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM? IT WOULD RELIEVE THE STRESS & GIVE ME PEACE OF MIND REGARDING MY SAFETY. I AWAIT YOUR RESPONSE. I WAS REFERRED TO YOU BY THE NHTSA. *TR

COMING UP ON A RED LIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN TO A STOP, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. ONLY THEN DID THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON. I PUT THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL, AND FINALLY COASTED TO A STOP. UPON FINDING A PIN HOLE IN ONE LINE, THE COMPLETE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. ONCE REPLACING THE BRAKE LINES, THE FUEL LINES WAS ALSO SO RUSTED, AND THEY WERE ABOUT TO FAIL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET I ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. AFTER ABOUT 20 FEET THE TRUCK DID STOP WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL ALMOST ON THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED AND THE FRONT BRAKE LINES WHERE RUSTED AND LEAKING AND REPLACED. THE REAR LINES ARE ALSO RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.THE TOTAL COST IS ABOUT $500.00. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FULE LINE AS IT ALSO RUSTED AND LEAKED, THAT COST WAS $900.00. APPARENTLY GM HAS HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THIS. IN OVER 40 YEARS I HAVE NEVER SEEN LINES RUST THROUGH LIKE THIS.IT IS A SEROIUS PROBLEM AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT IF THE AREA HAD BEEN MORE CONGESTED AND SPEED GREATER.GM SHOULD BE PUTTING QUALITY MATERIAL ON SUCH A VITAL SYSTEM. ALSO THE REAR BRAKES WHERE ALMOST NON-EXISTENT DUE TO THE GM ABS DESIGN. THIS GIVES NO BRAKING ABILITY AND SHOULD NOT BE THAT WAY.AS FAR AS SAFETY GOES THIS SHOULD BE A NUMBER ONE ISSUE AS BRAKE FAILURE CAN BE LETAL, GAS LEAKING ISNT VERY SAFE EITHER.

FIRST INCIDENT OF THE FUEL SENSOR FAILING (LOW FUEL LIGHT AND FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR FALSE) WAS AT 45,500 MILES WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TIME. 2ND TIME FAILED ON 02/16/2009 AT 133,697 MILES WHICH COSTS ME 754.67. 3RD TIME WHICH IS CURRENTLY STARTING TO ACT UP AGAIN AT 174,500 MILES, AND WILL PROBABLY COST ME ANOTHER 754.67!! FIRST OF ALL I CAN UNDERSTAND ONCE ON A VEHICLE BUT 3 TIMES IS RIDICULOUS, NOT TO MENTION THE EXPENSE! CHEVROLET SHOULD HAVE HAD SOME TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS OR LEAST FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS. NO DOUBT THIS IS A DEFECT WITH THIS PART AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. I'M ABOUT TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WHICH WILL STILL COST ME MONEY IN THE END WITH TRADE-IN OR SELLING IT MYSELF SO I WILL PROBABLY HAVE REPAIR IT FOR THE 3RD TIME. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I HAVE LOST FAITH IN GM AND WILL PROBABLY NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER ONE. THIS ISSUE COULD BE DANGEROUS IF PEOPLE DO NOT CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. NOT EVERYONE HAS 750.00 LAYING AROUND AND GM SHOULD FIX FOR FREE ESPECIALLY WHEN IT HAPPENS A 2ND, 3RD TIME!
