2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Problems

I pulled the truck out of the garage in working condition, left it running while parked in the driveway. It emptied the entire brake fluid reservoir through a leak in the distribution junction on the rear axle, leaving the truck with no brake function whatsoever. Had I not parked the truck in the driveway, I would have been involved in a serious collision due to sudden complete brake failure.

While driving on US60 East of Lexington Kentucky I was preparing to turn left using the left turn lane. There was another car in front of mine and as I approached it I began to lightly apply the brakes. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor with no decrease in speed. Fortunately I was able to switch back to the through lane and avoid an accident. While I was able to avoid an accident there was definitely a risk of injury to myself and the occupants of the other vehicle. When I was able to inspect the vehicle I found that the brakeline adjacent to the fuel tank was rusted through which caused a complete brake failure. I do the vehicle maintenance personally and have since made necessary repairs to the brake system. I was aware of problems with the brakelines on this vintage truck being prone to failure due to rusting. As I was making repairs it was obvious the routing of the brakelines was such as to making the rusting more likely to happen.

KNOWN TO GM INJECTOR PROBLEMS WITH CHEVY SILVERADO VEHICLES. MY INJECTOR CRACKED OR FAILED AND DIESEL WENT IN TO MY ENGINE OIL, CAUSING AN OVER FILL OF 2 GALLONS. OIL WAS LEAKING OUT ALL OVER FROM MY TRUCK WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THERE ARE MANY OTHER POST ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND GM IS AWARE BUT HASN'T ISSUED A RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND WITHOUT WARNING STOP.

MY ABS SPEED SENSOR GOT SHEARED BY BACK OF MY FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIRE IN WHICH I HAVE SEEN ON MULTIPLE SIGHTS A DEFECT THAT WAS DEEMED A RECALL FOR BEING POORLY SET UP ON THE ASSEMBLY LINE. SECONDLY, IVE SPENT THOUSANDS AND LOOKING ONLINE FOR A VARY SERIOUS ISSUE IVE BEEN HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE DUE TO INTERMEDIATE STALLING, BACKFIRING, AND VEHICLE DIEING DUE TO WHAT HAS FINALLY BEEN FOUND TO BE THE INFAMOUS CRANKSHAFT SENSOR. REPLACED MY COMPUTER, ALL 02 SENSORS, EGR VALVE EXC... THAN UPON LOOKING AND RESEARCHING, I FIND IT WAS A MAJOR ONE ON RECALL AS WELL FOR FAILING ALL THE TIME. I JUST FEEL IF THESE ARE FACTORY ERRORS AND BEEN ON THE RECALL, AND MY WOMAN WHO TRAVELS WITH ME THAT IS PARALYZED DUE TO AN ACCIDENT, I SHOULD BE ENTITILED TO THE RECALLS GIVING THEY WERE KNOWN FLAWS ON THE ASSSEMBLY LINE AND A DANGER TO OTHERS. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT, IT STARTS CHOKING, BACKFIRING, AND BUCKING AND WANTS TO LOCK UP AND LOOSE CONTROL. NOT COOL. IVE BEEN CHASING THIS PROBLEM SPENDING THOUSANDS IN PARTS AND REPAIRS TO MAKE THIS TRUCK SAFE FOR WORK AND FEEL IF THERE HAS BEEN RECALLS FOR ALL THIS, WOULD BE NICE TO REAP SOMETHING OUT OF MY INVESTMENT IN THIS TRUCK

ALL MY BRAKE LINES ARE CORRODED/RUSTING OUT. ONE LINE ALREADY HAD TO BE REPLACED. VERY DANGEROUS. ALL MY FUEL INES ARE STARTING TO CORRODE AND APPEAR TO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT SOON.

DRIVING AT 55 MPH ON HWY 528 ABOUT 20 MILES EAST OF ORLANDO, THE TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN WE SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC TREAD SEPARATION OF OUR REAR DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. WE WERE TRAILERING A CAMPER AT THE TIME. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY WE HAD SUSTAINED CLOSE TO $3000 WORTH OF DAMAGE TO THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE FENDER AND WHEEL WELL. THIS WAS THE 2ND KUMHO LT 245/75 R16 OF THE SET THAT HAD A SEPARATION. THE FIRST ONE WE WERE ABLE TO SLOW DONE IN TIME TO PREVENT ANY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE TIRES ONLY HAD 18000 MILES ON THEM AND INFLATION PRESSURES HAD BEEN CHECKED WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE INCIDENT EACH TIME. AFTER CALLING KUMHO SEVERAL TIMES AFTER THE 1ST INCIDENT, THEY GAVE A 67 DOLLAR CREDIT ON THE TIRE. THE SECOND TIME THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY MULTIPLE PHONE CALLS. I HAVE NOW REPLACED AND KEPT THE REMAINING TIRES OF THE SET. I KEPT THEM HOPING THAT NHTSA WOULD TAKE THEM FOR TESTING. I FILED A COMPLAINT BY PHONE WITH NHTSA ON 11/3015 AND MEKO TOLD ME I WOULD BE RECEIVING FORMS IN THE MAIL TO COMPLETE THE COMPLAINT. IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 2 MONTHS, AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM YOU! MY COMPLAINT # WAS 10807471. THESE ARE DANGEROUS FAULTY TIRES AND NEED TO BE RECALLED. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD KUMHO RESPONSIBLE FRO THESE TIRES BEFORE MORE LIVES ARE LOST SECONDARY TO CATASTROPHIC SEPARATIONS.

I BELIEVE THAT I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY IGNITION AND FRONT PANEL. I CAN PULL MY KEY OUT IN ANY POSITION. EVERYTHING LIGHTS UP ON THE DASHBOARD AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER.

PLEASE HELP ME. MY TRUCK SCARES ME SO MUCH, I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, ESPECIALLY ON THE FREEWAY, OR ROADS THAT ARE BLACKED OUT FOR CELL PHONES, AND NO WAY TO GET HELP. *TR

BLOWER MOTOR STOPPED WORKING LAST YEAR. I HAD A NEW BLOWER MOTOR INSTALLED AND THE REPLACEMENT STOPPED WORKING. WHEN I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO BE REPAIRED FOR THE SECOND TIME, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE WIRING/RESISTOR WHICH SUPPLIES POWER TO THE BLOWER MOTOR. APPARENTLY, THE MOTOR PULLS MORE POWER THAN THE WIRING IS RATED FOR WHICH CAUSES IT TO HEAT UP AND BURN THE INSULATION OFF OF THE WIRING UNDER THE DASHBOARD. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I SHOULD CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT MY TRUCK DID NOT CATCH FIRE LIKE ANOTHER CUSTOMER'S TRUCK HE HAD RECENTLY REPAIRED FOR THE SAME REASON AS MINE HAD. I FEEL THAT I HAVE PAID FOR REPAIRS TWICE DUE TO DEFECTIVE GM PARTS. *TR

I OWN A 2002 CHEV K2500HD. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS, BUT WAS UNAWARE OF THIS SITE TO REPORT THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL NOW. FIRST, THE DRYER SWITCH ON THE AC WENT BAD @ 34K. SECOND,@ 65K I HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY AS TALKED ABOUT IN ONE OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS I READ. THIRD, @ 95K MY TRANSFER CASE DEVELOPED A LEAK AND I LOST ALL THE FLUID. A CHEVROLET MECHANIC SHOWED ME A TRANSFER CASE THAT HAD GONE BAD DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM AND HAD BEEN USED IN 4WD W/OUT FLUID IN IT. ANOTHER CHEVROLET MECHANIC TOLD ME HE HAD SEEN SEVERAL OF THESE AND THAT "JB WELD IS YOUR FRIEND". SO I PATCHED THE HOLE, AND 10K LATER IT DEVELOPED A SECOND LEAK IN A SIMILAR LOCATION AND ALSO ABOUT THIS SAME TIME AN ELECTRICAL PART (ABOUT $550) WENT OUT FOR MY 4WD. NOW AT 130K IT HAS DEVELOPED A THIRD LEAK! ALSO STARTING @ APPROXIMATELY 50K, MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL HAS LOCKED UP ON ME SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 CABLES ON MY TAILGATE. AFTER BEING A CHEVY MAN ALL MY LIFE I THINK I WILL LOOK AT TOYOTA. *NM

INTERNAL COMPONENTS WEAR A SMALL HOLE IN THE REAR OF THE CASE HOUSING ALLOWING THE FLUID TO LEAK OUT WITHOUT YOU KNOWING IT. ONCE THE FLUID IS GONE THE GEARS GRIND DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS UP AND YOU SKID TO A STOP. I'VE BEEN TOLD THIS IS STILL AN ON GOING PROBLEM ALL THE WAY UP TO THE 2010 MODEL YEAR. *KB

AS I WAS DRIVING AT 75 MPH, THE INDICATOR LIGHT SAID, ENGINE OVERHEATED. I THEN NOTICED WHITE SMOKE COMING FROM THE HOOD. THE WHITE SMOKE TURNED BLACK. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND BEFORE I COULD SHUT THE ENGINE OFF, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN. FIRE BEGAN COMING UP WHERE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS ARE LOCATED AND PROCEEDED THROUGH THE DASHBOARD. I TRIED TO UNLATCH MY SEAT BELT BUT IT WOULD NOT RELEASE. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES IT RELEASED. I ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE DOOR; HOWEVER, I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DOOR DID NOT OPEN. AFTER BUMPING THE DOOR FORCIBLY MANY TIMES, IT ALSO CAME OPEN. MIND YOU, ALL THE WHILE THE FLAMES ARE COMING INSIDE THE CAB. I CALLED 911 AND THE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS DISPATCHED, BUT NOT BEFORE IT WAS FULLY ENGULFED IN FLAMES. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT STEPS TO TAKE TO PREVENT THIS FROM EVER HAPPENING AGAIN?

STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PUT THE TRUCK IN GEAR AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT BLEW OUT THE BRAKE LINE RUNNING FROM THE ABS BLOCK TO THE REAR. I REPLACED THAT ONE AND WHEN CHECKING FOR LEAKS, A LINE RUNNING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER THEN BLEW OUT. I DECIDED TO REPLACE THEM ALL AT THAT POINT. THE AC DELCO KIT FOR MY TRUCK WAS BACK ORDERED AND IT TOOK OVER TWO MONTHS FOR IT TO COME. NOW I AM CONCERNED ABOUT MY FUEL LINES. CHEVY, GM, PLEASE HELP! THESE ARE MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES! RECALLS!?!?!? *TR
