2002 Chevrolet Silverado Problems

RUSTY BRAKELINES

ABOUT 165,000 MILES BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO PULSATE AT LOW SPEED WHEN STOPPING.STARTED OUT ONLY WHEN I WOULD BE TURNING LEFT,NOW DOES IT GOING STAIGHT,ABOUT 170,000 MILES NOW.HAD NEW CALIPER ON DRIVER SIDE,NEW HUB ASSEMBLIE AND SENSOR ON PASSENGER SIDE,BRAKE SYSTEM FLUSHED,STILL HAVE PROBLEMS WITH BRAKE PEDAL PULSATING,DOES NOT MATTER WHAT KIND OF ROAD I'M ON.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK, FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON, SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CAPABILITY. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO RE-START THE TRUCK. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE DONE THE SAME THING EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED ONCE IN 2009 AND TWICE IN 2010. SINCE THEN IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES PER YEAR AT RANDOM TIMES. GM HAS TOLD ME IN THE PAST THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT ISSUE. I COULD NOT GET MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SHOP MANAGER TO GIVE ME A STRAIGHT YES OR NO ANSWER REGARDING WHETHER MY PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ISSUES BEING EXPERIENCED BY EFFECTED GM MODELS WITH IGNITION PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE DUE TO THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCHES AS I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN TURN RIGHT BACK OVER AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL!! I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT COVER ALL OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE TRULY AFFECTED. I HAVE HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT TO THIS POINT. *JS

ENGINE STALLS OCCASIONALLY WHILE DRIVING, AND PUT ME IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. FORTUNATELY I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN HAS LITTLE FREEWAYS. ALSO THE DRIVER SIDE SEATBELT IS STUCK AND I CAN NOT PULL IT OUT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE APPROACHING A STOP, THE CONTACT HEARD GRINDING METAL, WHICH SOUNDED AS IF THE GEAR WAS SLIPPING. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL ABLE TO BE DRIVEN, BUT MADE A CONTINUOUS WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 72,945.

WHILE DRIVING MY 02 SILVERADO Z71 (49900 MILES) ON THE FREEWAY AT 65/75 MPH, I NOTICED THAT THE TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN AND MY FOOT WAS STILL ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE TACHOMETER JUMPED TO 6000-7000 RPM AND I WAS GOING AT 30-40 MPH. MY TRUCK GOT TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALER AND COST ME 3600.00 TO INSTALL A NEW/REMAN TRANSMISSION. THE DEALER COULD NOT SPECIFY WHY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED AT ANY SPEED THE STEERING WHEEL MADE A LOUD POPPING, VIBRATION AND CLICKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE OR WHEN THE CONTACT MADE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTERMEDIATE SHAFT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS GOING TO BE REPAIRED BY AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97000.

UPPER STEERING COLUMN INTERMEDIATE SHAFT CLUNKING NOISE WHEN TURNING OR ON BUMPY ROAD, HAVE TO REPLACE THIS PART AT MY COST. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS COMMON DEFECT BUT THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS PART EVEN THOUGH THEY MANUFACTURED 2 REPLACEMENT SHAFTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T KNOW WHY THERE IS NO RECALL. SEEMS A STEERING ISSUE IS IMPORTANT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE.

2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING PROBLEM WITH TIRES *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED SHE PURCHASED FOUR COOPER TIRES ON JULY 6, 2006. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 60,893 MILES ON IT. 34,573 MILES LATER, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE TREAD STARTED COMING OUT IN CHUNKS. THE CONSUMER ONLY DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM AFTER HEARING A NOISE AGAINST THE TRUCK. THE SECOND FAILURE WAS ON AUGUST 8, 2010 WHEN THE PASSENGER REAR TIRE TREAD COMPLETELY SHREDDED OFF AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND IS REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT. *JB

I PURCHASED NEW, A 2002 CHEVROLET 2500 HD CREW CAB 4X4 FROM ED MORSE SAWGRASS CHEVROLET. IN 2004, AFTER NOTICING SIGNS OF CRACKING ON THE SIDEWALLS AND AREA WHERE THE SIDEWALL MEETS THE TREADS ON ALL FOUR TIRES, I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO MAROONE CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER FOR INSPECTION. I EXPLAINED THAT I WAS CONCERNED THAT THE TIRES, HAVING APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES ON THEM, SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING THAT IT MIGHT BE DANGEROUS. THE SUPERVISOR INSPECTED THEM AND TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND I HAD NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. I ASKED FOR SOMETHING IN WRITING AND HE REFUSED TO GIVE ME ANYTHING. AS A RESULT, IN DECEMBER 2005, WHILE RETURNING FROM VACATION WITH MY FAMILY, WITHOUT WARNING THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOUD NOISE FOLLOWED BY A SEVERE VIBRATION AND DIFFICULTY IN HANDLING. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD. UPON INSPECTION I FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE TREAD WAS MISSING FROM THE RIGHT REAR TIRE (FIRESTONE STEELTEX A/T). LUCKILY AT THAT TIME THE TIRE STILL HELD PRESSURE. HAD I NOT IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER, THE TIRE COULD HAVE BLOWN OUT AND THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DEVASTATING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION WHEN I ARRIVED HOME, WHEN THE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE IT DAMAGED THE SUPPORT BARS IN THE WHEEL WELL AND FOLDED UP THE FENDER BEHIND THE TIRE. AS THE OTHER THREE TIRES LOOK THE SAME, I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY AND AM NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL I HAVE REPLACED ALL TIRES. I HAVE WRITTEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND HAVE NOT GOTTEN A RESPONSE FROM EITHER. *JB

I T-BONED A MINI VAN THAT FAILED TO TO YIELD ON A TURN AT 35 MPH, MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED, THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE ABS KICKED IN; HOWEVER, THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE FUNCTION. THE STOPPING DISTANCE OF THE VEHICLE WAS DRAMATICALLY REDUCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A WHEEL BEARING SENSOR FAILURE. THE ENTIRE WHEEL BEARING WITH THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED AND FOUND NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V379000. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

TRAVELING ON A GRAVEL ROAD @ ABOUT 45 MPH. OTHER THAN BEING GRAVEL, THE ROAD IS VERY SMOOTH. HEARD A LOUD BANG AND FELT IT IN THE VEHICLE AND IN THE STEERING WHEEL. FOUND DRIVER'S SIDE REAR LEAF SPRING REAR MOUNTING SHACKLE HAD BROKEN ALLOWING LEAF SPRING TO SLAM AGAINST THE BOTTOM OF THE BED, PUTTING AN UPWARD DENT IN IT. REPAIR MECHANIC COMMENTED THE VEHICLE IS RUSTED FAR MORE THAN NORMAL. RAILS UNDER DOORS HAVE LARGE 3 INCH HOLES. REAR BUMPER IS RUSTED THROUGH, THE REAR TAILGATE HAS HOLES IN IT. VEHICLE ONLY DRIVEN TO WORK (2 MILES WHICH ARE GRAVEL) AND HAS VERY LOW MILES. NO ONE ELSE EXCEPT SILVERADO OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE. VERY LIKELY INFERIOR DESIGN OR MATERIALS OR BOTH. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE TRUCK, FOR AN UNKNOWN REASON, SHUT DOWN CAUSING ME TO LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKE CAPABILITY. I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON AGAIN TO RE-START THE TRUCK. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE DONE THE SAME THING EACH TIME TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED ONCE IN 2002 THEN CONSTANTLY 4-5 TIMES A YEAR AND AGAIN TODAY. GM HAS TOLD ME IN THE PAST THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD CAUSE THAT ISSUE. I COULD NOT GET MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SHOP MANAGER TO GIVE ME A STRAIGHT YES OR NO ANSWER REGARDING WHETHER MY PROBLEM IS CONSISTENT WITH THE ISSUES BEING EXPERIENCED BY EFFECTED GM MODELS WITH IGNITION PROBLEMS. I BELIEVE IT MAY BE DUE TO THE RECALLED IGNITION SWITCHES AS I HAVE HAD THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND AN ISSUE THAT WOULD CAUSE THE TRUCK TO SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THEN TURN RIGHT BACK OVER AFTER SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL!! I BELIEVE THAT THE CURRENT RECALL DOES NOT COVER ALL OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE TRULY AFFECTED. I HAVE HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED AND HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT TO THIS POINT.

WHEN TO USE THE HORN IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION AND NOTHING. NO POWER AT FUSE BOX FOR HORN STATED BY MY MECHANIC. *TR

ABS STOPPED BRAKE PEDAL FROM GOING DOWN. BY THE TIME I LIFTED AND PUMPED AGAIN VEHICLE STRUCK YOUNG GIRL. TRAVEL WAS ABOUT SIX FEET. THERE IS A RECALL IN OTHER STATES BUT NOT KY.

I HAD JUST DRIVEN 15 MILES TO ON THE EXPRESSWAY, I STOPPED AT A STORE FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WHEN I WENT BACK TO THE TRUCK, I DIDN'T SEE THE FLUID UNDER IT, BUT GOT IN AND STARTED THE TRUCK. AT THAT TIME I WAS ACCELERATING SLOWLY TO PULL OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. ABOUT THAT TIME A PEDESTRIAN STEPPED OFF THE CURB IN FRONT OF ME. I HIT THE BREAK AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR! I MISSED THE PEDESTRIAN AND COASTED TO THE END OF THE PARKING LOT WHERE I TRIED TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BREAK, THAT ALSO FAILED! A CONCRETE CURB ALLOWED ME TO STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT INCIDENT. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO 2 GARAGES BEFORE I COULD FIND ONE TO REPAIR IT AT A COST OF JUST UNDER $900.00. *TR

ON 26 SEPTEMBER 2011 SAID VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE ALL BRAKE LINES AND OTHER BRAKE PARTS REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST/RUSTING OUT AT 71,012 WELL MAINTAINED MILES AT A COST OF $1300.00 PLUS. ON 30 DECEMBER 2014 SAID VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE ALL FUEL LINES AND FUEL FILLER TUBE REPLACED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST/RUSTING OUT AT 90,790 WELL MAINTAINED MILES AT A COST OF $1800.OO PLUS. *JS

HI THIS IS THE SECOND SET OF THE FUEL INJECTOR ON THIS DIESEL ENGINE,I TALK TO THE DIFFERENT MECHANIC ON DEALERS AN PRIVET SHOPS AND ASK WHAT IS THIS PROBLEM AND SAY IS BECAUSE THE FUEL,THE USED,HOW YOU DRIVE,ETC BUT NO BODY SAY WHAT IS THE REASON, MY PROBLEM IS THIS INJECTOR SET IS NOT LIKE REPLACE LIKE A SET THE SPARK PLUGS ON GAS ENGINE IS MUCH MONEY $5600, AND I NOT THE ONLY PERSON, I CHECK ONLINE MANY TRUCKS OF THIS GET THIS PROBLEMS, PLEASE HELP AS, THE COMPANY MAKE THIS TRUCK WHIT THIS PROBLEMS AND PEOPLE LIKE ME USED FOR WORK AND IS NOT FEAR. *JS

ON FEB 21ST 2013 MY TRANSMISSION BROKE AND IT LOST 2ND, 4TH, AND REVERSE, BUT WAS STILL DRIVABLE. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL INDEPENDENT TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM. AFTER DOING EXTENSIVE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS WEAK SUN GEAR SHELL SINCE AT LEAST 1998. THE PROBLEM IS THAT GM DIDN'T REMOVE THE FAULTY PARTS FROM THEIR INVENTORY, ALTHOUGH THEY UPDATED THE PART SOMETIME IN2000 GM MIXED THE NEW PARTS IN WITH THE OLD SO THAT THEIR STATISTICS WOULD SHOW THAT NOT ALL 4L60E TRANSMISSIONS FAILED. TRANSMISSION REBUILDERS SAY YOU CAN ONLY TELL THE FAULTY SHELL FROM THE UPDATED VERSION BY THE SERIAL NUMBER INSIDE THE FAULTY SUN GEAR SHELL. MANY ENGINEERING ACCOMPLISHMENTS IN TRANSMISSIONS HAVE BEEN MADE IN THE PAST TWO DECADES WITH MATERIALS AND LUBRICANTS. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR SUCH A MASSIVE GM TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WHAT MAKES IT SO BAD AFTER THE TEN DOLLAR PART FAILS GM CHARGES $3,000 FOR A REBUILT TRANSMISSION. IF THE FAULTY SUN GEAR SHELL WAS REPLACED BEFORE TOTAL FAILURE THE PRICE IS LESS THAN $1,000. I WATCHED AS MY TRANSMISSION WAS BEING REBUILT AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE WEAR ON ANY OTHER PARTS. IT LOOKED LIKE BRAND NEW EXCEPT THIS FAULTY SUN GEAR SHELL. IF THIS PROBLEM IS SO WIDELY KNOWN FOR SO MANY YEARS THROUGHOUT THE INDUSTRY WHY WASNT THERE A FORCED RECALL? IF THERE WAS JUST ONE RELATED DEATH THE GOVERNMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL OVER THIS, WHAT A SHAME. I FOR ONE WOULD LIKE SOME OF MY MONEY BACK, NOW KNOWING THAT GM FRAUDULENTLY COVERED UP THIS MASSIVE PROBLEM.
