I was driving down the road and I heard a clunk. I lost all power and coasted into a farmers field. The dash board said lost power, nothing else. I had no warning. Oil pressure was where it should be until is quit. Keller Chevrolet contacted us and told us the engine blew. The connecting rod broke and the piston come apart. I had service done on my truck 4 days prior. I always service my vehicle every 3,000 miles or 3 months which ever comes first. I have about 121,000 miles on my 2001 pickup. It has always been serviced at either Bob Schmidt Chevrolet or Keller Chevrolet. We are in the process of getting a new engine from GM and having it installed at Keller Chevrolet. You can contact them for more information.

GEAR SELECTOR LIGHTS AND MILEAGE LIGHTS DONT ILLUMINATE ON DASH, INTERMITTENTLY.

TRUCK JUST SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED OFF AND THEN WON'T TURN BACK ON. IT HAS HAPPEND 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS WHERE I AM DRIVING AND IT COMPLETELY JUST SHUTS OFF. CAN'T GET IT TO START BACK UP AND HAVE TO TOW IT HOME, IT WILL THEN TURN ON AND RUN FOR A FEW DAYS AND SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING

I OWN A 2001 2500HD CHEVY SILVERADO AND LAST MONTH I HAD THE LEFT REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE RUPTURE AND AS A RESULT I LOST ALL BRAKING POWER. NEITHER THE BRAKE LIGHT COME ON AND THE PROPORTIONING VALVE DID NOT FUNCTION CORRECTLY DURING THIS MALFUNCTION SINCE FRONT BRAKES LOST ALL POWER. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE ROAD WAS CLEAR, TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS AROUND. THE PARKING BRAKE WORKED MARGINALLY SINCE I WAS CARRYING A LOAD OF WET SOIL HOME. I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFEAT WITH THIS GM TRUCK. THE VERY NEXT DAY I HAD THAT REAR LEFT BRAKE LINE REPLACED AND THE GARAGE TECHNICIAN SAID ALL THE REMAINING BRAKE LINES ARE IN A SIMILAR STATE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V521000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO RECOMMENDED SOLUTION OTHER THAN TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CRANKSHAFT POSITION FAILED COMPLETELY.. THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A MOUNTAIN PASS, WOULD NOT RE-START UNTIL AFTER IT COOLED DOWN. NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES WERE AVAILABLE DURING THIS TIME DUE TO ENGINE FAILURE. SAME ISSUE AS YOUR RECALL CAMPAIGN #07V521000 AND THE GM RECALL CAMPAIGN #06083

THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS FAILED THE VEHICLE RUNS ROUGH. THE ENGINE STALLS, MAY RE-START IMMEDIATELY OR AFTER A COOL DOWN PERIOD.

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 61,000 MILES ON IT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ONE DAY ON MY WAY TO WORK. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THE PRICE TO FIX WAS $2,130.00 , I WATCHED A NEWS REPORT AND EVEN A SINGLE OWNER OF SIMILAR TRUCK WHO HAD IT WASHED EVERY WEEK HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRUCK SHOULD HAVE BEEN DESIGNED WITH A GUARD PROTECTING THE BRAKES.

MY 2001 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD WITH 111,000 MILES HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING IN MY DRIVEWAY WHILE MOVING THE TRUCK FROM ONE SPOT TO ANOTHER. UPON INSPECTION OF THE TRUCK THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND THE AREA UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS WET WITH BRAKE FLUID. INSPECTION OF THE BRAKE LINES FOUND SEVERE CORROSION ON THE LINES. THERE WAS NO PARTIAL BRAKING EFFORT, BRAKING WENT TO ZERO. I WAS READY TO PICK UP A NEW 7600LB TRAVEL TRAILER THIS WEEK AND WE CAME CLOSE TO A TRAGEDY. LOCAL DEALER IN GETTYSBURG, PA SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL OR "SILENT RECALL".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE BATTERY WARNING LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT FOR THE ENGINE TO COOL DOWN BEFORE THE VEHICLE COULD BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V521000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO STOP, WHILE AT LOW SPEED, USING THE BRAKES ENGAGES THE ABS SYSTEM AND STEERING BECOMES SUDDENLY DIFFICULT.

HERE I AM 2016 AND THE THIRD TIME I HAVE TO REPLACE RUSTED CORROSIVE BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES. THIS TIME I ONLY PUT 3500 MILES ON THE TRUCK SINCE THE LAST TIME. THEY ARE ON THE VERGE OR BLOWING OUT, THE FIRST TWO TIMES THEY DID AND LUCKY WAS ABLE TO STOP. THE FUEL LINE IS GONE AGAIN ALSO. WHY??

ENGINE STOPS RUNNING IN ALL KIND OF TRAFFIC AND SPEEDS, CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKES AND CONTROL OF VEHICLE. IT TAKES MANY TRIES TO RESTART. I HAVE FOUND THAT NHTSAEA06016 HAS CALLED FOR RECALL, BUT DEALERS WILL NOT ADDRESS THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.THIS VEHICLE HAS THE 8.1 ENGINE THAT IS NAMED IN YOUR WRITE-UP.12

WHILE DRIVING ON A RURAL COUNTRY ROAD I SOUNDLY AND WITHOUT WARNONG LOST MY POWER BRAKES AND STEERING. . STEERING WAS VERY DIFFICULT AND BRAKES WERE ALMOST NOT FUNCTIONAL. I TOOK A GREAT EFFORT TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AND APPLY THE BRAKES TO SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE. IF I WAS TRAVELING IN TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS I COULD NOT CONTROL AND SAFELY STOP THE VEHICLE.. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE VEHICLE AND HAD IT TOWED TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP. THE POWER STEERING PUMP WAS REPLACED. SO THE POWER STEERING PUMP MALFUNCTIONED (BROKEN SHAFT) WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERWAY.. THE POWER STEERING MALFUNCTION AFFECTED BOTH THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO WARNING. I FEEL THIS IS A POOR DESIGN. MINIMALLY THERE SHOULD BE SOME SORT OF WARNING WHEN THE POWER STEERING AND OR POWER BRAKES ARE COMPROMISED. AS I UNDERSTAND IT THIS SAME ISSUE OCCURS WHEN THE SERPENTINE BELT FAILS. THE BELT WILL FAIL WHEN THE BELT TENSIONER DOES. AGAIN NO WARNING WHEN THIS OCCURS.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS TREAD SEPARATION FROM THE FRONT AND REAR TIRES. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET 2500 HD. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE BRAKE AND ABS WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 CHEVROLET 2500 HD. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CRANK SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I WAS LEAVING MY PROPERTY GOING UP THE DRIVEWAY, I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND NO BRAKES AT ALL. I HAD MY WIFE PUMP THE PEDAL AND COULD SEE BRAKE FLUID SHOOTING FROM A RUSTED LINE. I'M GLAD I DIDN'T GET OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF BRAKE LINES RUSTING OUT! I HAVE CARS FROM THE 60'S WITH ORIGINAL LINES. PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOME ONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2001 CHEVY 2500HD AND COMING INTO TRAFFIC THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO CHANGE LANES JUST IN TIME TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SURE ENOUGH BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE RUSTY GM BRAKE HARD LINES. LEAKING AT THE MOST COMMON PLACE BY THE ABS PUMP WHICH IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE BEHIND THE FRONT WHEEL. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE TRUCK HOME WITH USING ONLY THE FRONT BRAKES AND WILL BE REPLACING THE HARD LINES WITH STAINLESS LINES. CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS QUOTED $1,500-$2,000....EVERYONE SHOULD SEND THE RUSTY LINES TO GM SO THEY CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A RAMP TO HIGHWAY 41. POWER BRAKES AND STEERING DID NOT WORK AS THE ENGINE WAS DEAD. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE CRANKED REPEATEDLY TO GET IT TO RESTART. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT THAT I REMEMBER, BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN MANY TIMES OVER THE YEARS WITHOUT WARNING. FINALLY THIS YEAR AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY CRANK POSITION SENSOR. I LEARNED THERE WAS A RECALL (NHTSA - EA06016) FOR THIS BUT GM SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE READ REPORTS OF OTHERS THAT HAD THE SAME FAILURE BUT GM HAS REFUSED TO FIX SAYING THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXPANDED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN SOLVED. I HAVE THE OLD SENSOR IF NEEDED FOR TESTING.
