STEERING PROBLEM. POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN SLOW DOWN. CHEVROLET IS VERY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON THE LATER MODEL VEHICLES. THE 2000 WE HAVE IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE HAVE REPORTED IT NUMEROUSE TIMES AND WONDER HOW MANY TRAGIC ACCIDENTS HAVE TO HAPPEN BEFORE IT IS CORRECTED?

Runs weird and windshield is broke

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL ODOR ENTERED INTO THE VEHICLE CABIN ACCOMPANIED BY AN UNUSUAL NOISE FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE MANIFOLD BOLTS WERE FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 43,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

Tire size LT245/75R16 While driving on highway at speeds between 55 and 65 mph, front driver's side tire started to vibrate. Cause of vibration was not known at the time. Within 50 miles of driving, the entire tread on the front left tire separated from the tire while traveling at 55 mph. The tire has less than 12,000 miles of wear on it at the time of failure, and the tires were bought new. Control of the vehicle was maintained during tread separation and fortunately the projectile tread did not hit other cars or people. Tire remnants are available for inspection.

THREE TIRES HAVE BEEN DEFLATED WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THIS HAS BEEN CONFIRMED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE VALVE STEMS, HAVING CUTS IN THEM AT THE RIM. AFTER REPLACING THE VALVE STEMS, ALTHOUGH DAMAGED, THE TIRES ALL STILL HELD AIR. THESE GOODYEAR TIRES WERE BRAND NEW IN 2007 INSTALLED AT A WAL-MART SERVICE CENTER. I AM THANKFUL I WASN'T KILLED. *TR

RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES CAUSED LOSS OF FLUID WHILE DRIVING. RUSTED OUT FUEL LINE CAUSED FUEL LEAK WHILE DRIVING. *TR

CAME OUT ONE MORNNING TO FIND GAS ALL OVER THE DRIVEWAY. *TR

Odometer Fraud. The contact previously owned a 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.

HALF OF ENGINE COMPARTMENT WIRE HARNESS MELTED ALSO. WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THE TRUCK DID NOT EXPLODE. THIS IS TO COST $1800.00 IN REPAIRS. *TR

The contact owns a 1989 Chevrolet C/K2500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission was slipping. The vehicle was driven back to the residence. The contact’s husband replaced the spark plugs and added transmission fluid. The contact stated that the following day, the vehicle was driving sluggish, and the gear shifter failed to function as intended. While the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The contact's husband lifted the hood and noticed transmission fluid was leaking out of the transmission line. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission line failure. The contact was informed that the transmission line needed to be replaced. The contact received Manufacturer Recall Notification N930018. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall repair was performed. The contact stated that after the recall repair was completed the failure began. The contact stated that the failure did not began until the recall repair was performed. The contact was informed that the transmission line needed to be replaced. The contact was informed that the transmission line would be replaced under warranty.

I WAS PARKING MY TRUCK AND LOST MY BRAKES. FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT AND I HAD TO REPLACE THEM. ALSO I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND FUEL LINES ARE RUSTED BADLY. I REPAIRED THE FUEL LINE 6 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE IT RUSTED THREW. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPLACE ALL LINES DO TO POOR QUALITY LINES WERE USED. *TR

THE GM RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY, 2016, IT IS NOW JANUARY 2018 AND STILL NO REMEDY. THEY HAVE BEEN BUILDING MORE NEW VEHICLES FOR 7 MORE MODEL YEARS, WHAT AIRBAGS ARE THEY USING IN THEM? AND NOW THEY STAND TO GET MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM TAKATA. WHO IS HELPING THE CONSUMER HERE? THIS MAKES NO SENSE. THERE NEEDS TO BE AN INVESTIGATION INTO WHY THE AIRBAGS CANNOT BE REPLACED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

MY SON REAR ENDED A SEMI-TRACTOR TRAILER TRUCK IN A SNOW STORM LAST WEEK. HE WAS WEARING HIS SEAT BELT. AIR TEMPS PREVIOUS WEEK WERE IN THE -20 TO -40 RANGE. TEMPERATURE AT TIME OF ACCIDENT WAS -15. I RAISE THIS AS INDICATED BELOW. *AK MY CONCERNS ARE: 1. THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS $6000 DAMAGE TO OUR 2004 CHEVY K2500 CREW CAB PICK-UP TO INCLUDE GRILL, RADIATOR, BOTH QUARTER PANELS, HOOD, BUMPER AND FORWARD ENGINE COMPONENTS. THE IMPACT SPEED WAS ESTIMATED AT 25 MPH. THAT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE BAG. I REALIZE THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND MY INSURANCE WOULD HAVE COVERED THE BAG, BUT I THINK (AS DID EVERYONE ELSE WHO HAVE SEEN THE DAMAGE) THAT THE BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. 2. ABS SYSTEM FAILED. TRUCK REAR END SLID TO RIGHT TOWARD TRAFFIC. MY SON WAS ABLE TO REGAIN CONTROL. CHOICE OF IMPACT WAS EITHER INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC, OFF ROAD DOWN DEEP HILL INTO FOREST OR REAR END TRUCK. NOTE: OTHER OWNERS IN AREA OF THE 1999-2000 PICK-UP SERIES HAVE ALSO HAD ABS SYSTEM FAILED. LOCAL DEALERS ARE AWARE OF FAILURE AROUND 100,000 MILE MARK BUT SAY THAT IT IS NORMAL. ABS LIGHT IS NOW ON. SIDE NOTE - WE HAVE HAD REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE TAKEN IT TO DIFFERENT DEALERS. PROBLEMS INCLUDE ONGOING SHORT IN ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN COLD WEATHER, 4 WHEEL DRIVE FAILS TO DISENGAGE ALTHOUGH LIGHT ON DASH SAYS IT HAS (DISCOVERED AT LOCAL REPAIR SHOP), COMPUTER FAILURE ON DEALER INSTALLED EQUIPMENT (NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS AN OPTION).

FAILURE OF FRONT WHEEL HUBS ON 2000 SILVERADO 2500. REPLACED BOTH SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE OF TRUCK ABOUT 14 MONTHS AGO. AFTER ABOUT A YEAR BOTH ARE WORN OUT AGAIN. ONE HAS EXTREME PLAY. COMPLETELY STOCK TRUCK. ON ROAD USE ONLY. ABOUT 5000 EASY MILES ON THE HUBS. SEEMS THAT ONE IS CLOSE TO FALLING APART. THE OTHER IS ON THE WAY. BECAUSE OF THE EXCESS PLAY BRAKING IS COMPROMISED AS WELL AS STABILITY. NOT SURE WHAT BRAND THEY ARE. BUT BOUGHT ON EBAY. HTTP://CGI.EBAY.COM/EBAYMOTORS/WS/EBAYISAPI.DLL?VIEWITEM&ITEM=160322928700#HT_2306WT_1004 I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE HUBS FALLING APART WELL BEFORE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. *TR

JUST BACKED INTO THE ST. CLAIR RIVER TO RETRIEVE SMALL BOAT. LOADED BOAT. AS I PUT MY FOOT DOWN ON BRAKE PEDAL TO MOVE TRANSMISSION TO DRIVE, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR, GOT THE TRANS TO NEUTRAL, BUT NOT TO DRIVE. THE TRUCK AND BOAT STARTED TO ROLL INTO RIVER. PANIC SITUATION... JAMBED TRANS INTO DRIVE, AND WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK OUT OF RIVER, WITH WATER LINE HALF WAY UP DRIVERS DOOR. ONCE HOME DISCOVERED BADLY RUSTED BRAKE LINE ABOVE FUEL TANK RUPTURED. REPAIRED... TWO MONTHS LATER, WHILE WIFE WAS DRIVING TRUCK TO WORK, BRAKE LINE BETWEEN MASTER CYLINDER AND ABS MODUAL FAILED. HAD ENOUGH! REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES ON TRUCK EXCEPT THE ONE OVER REAR AXEL. I STILL WILLD O THAT ONE ALSO. ABS/BRAKE LIGHTS ON DASH ARE STILL ILLUMINATED. STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THAT ISSUE.. MANY DISCUSSIONS WITH OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS, AND AUTOPARTS EMPLOYEES. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE, WITH VERY DANGAROUS POTENTIAL FOR INJURYS.. *TR

TIE RODS ENDS FRONT LEFT AND FRONT RIGHT REPLACED 3 TIMES, POWER STEERING PUMP FAILED AND WAS REPLACED. *JB

Runs weird and windshield is broke

THE MIRROR ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AUTO HAS BLIND SPOT THAT DOES NOT ALLOW THE DRIVER TO SEE CARS THAT ARE ALONG SIDE JUST TO THE BED OF THE TRUCK. DEALER HAS NO SOLUTION GM HAS NO SOLUTION. THESE ARE THE TRAILORING MIRRORS FOR WHEN YOU PULL A TRAILOR. IF YOU WELL NOTICE THEY CORRECTED THE DRIVERS SIDE BY ADDING SMALL MIRRO WITHIN THE LARGER MIRROR. THE POTENTIAL IS FATAL IF YOU ARE PULLING A TRAILOR AND YOU ARE UNABLE TO SEE A CAR ALONG SIDE YOUR VEHICLE. IT NEED TO BE FIXED.

BACK SEAT DOESN'T LOCK UP AT ALL IN A STOP.SEAT PUSHES ALL THE WAY UP TO THE FRONT. *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS FAILED AND THE PASSANGER SIDE HAD A SHORT CIRCUIT. NLM
