2000 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

CONSUMER IS EXPERIENCING A FUEL VAPOR PROBLEM, WHEN VEHICLE IDLES FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE VAPORS ARE PUSHED OUT, WHEN THIS HAPPENS THEY ARE SUCKED UP INTO THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM AND PUSHED INTO THE CAB OF VEHICLE. *JG

THERE IS CONSTANT VIBRATION AT 25-35 MPH THAT CAN BE FELT THROUGH STEERING WHEEL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER 4 TIMES, DEALER INSISTS THAT VIBRATION IS NORMAL FOR THIS TYPE VEHICLE. *AK

CONSUMER WAS IN TRAFFIC AND WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING HEARD A THUMPING NOISE COMING FROM FRONT END OF VEHICLE. THEN, VEHICLE SHUTOFF. VEHICLE WAS TOWED. DEALERSHIP MECHANIC TOLD CONSUMER THAT HE NEEDED TO REPLACE TRANSMISSION.*AK

ENGINE HAS A DEEP KNOCKING NOISE IN THE LOWER PART AND A TAPPING NOISE IN THE UPPER PART AFTER SETTING SEVERAL HOURS OR OVERNIGHT. ALSO THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN HOT UPON START-UP. DEALER STATED THE ENGINE KNOCKING IN THEIR OPPINION DID NOT LAST OVER A MINUTE AND HALF, THEREFORE THE GM TECH ASST ADVISED NO REPAIRS ARE REQUIRED, THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. ALTHOUGH THE DEALER STATED GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. HOW CAN THIS BE NORMAL AND A PROBLEM? GM HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS 4.8 AND 5.3 ENGINES.*AK

HAVE HAD THREE FLAT TIRES, DUE TO GRAVEL PUNCTURE IN THE TREAD AT EXACTLY THE SAME IN THE TREAD OF EACH TIRE.

WITHIN A MONTH AFTER OUR PURCHASE, I TOOK OUR TRUCK TO TONY CHEVROLET'S SERVICE DEPT. FOR AN ENGINE KNOCK. I WAS TOLD THIS NOISE IS NORMAL TO "ALL" 2000 CHEVROLET AND GMC TRUCKS WITH THE 5.3 LITER ENGINE. I ASKED HOW AN ENGINE KNOCK CAN BE NORMAL TO A BRAND NEW ENGINE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE NOISE WAS CALLED "PISTON SLAP" WHICH GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THIS "DEFECT" AND WAS WORKING ON A FIX. I THEN EXPLAINED TO THE SERVICE WRITER, SINCE I'VE WORKED AS A MECHANIC, THAT I'VE NEVER HEARD A NEW OR REBUILT ENGINE KNOCK UNLESS THERE WAS A MISTAKE MADE OR A FAULTY PART INSTALLED. I'VE HEARD HIGH MILEAGE ENGINES WITH A KNOCK PROBLEM, AND I'VE HEARD HIGH MILEAGE ENGINES WITH "PISTON SLAP". AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND OUT GM WAS GOING TO REPLACE THE FAULTY PISTONS WITH GM'S NEW DESIGN PISTONS AND THAT WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE "PISTION SLAP" ISSUE. AFTER TALKING WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS ISSUE, I WAS TOLD THAT GM HAS REPLACED A FEW ENGINES WITH THE NEW DESIGNED PISTIONS WHICH NOW STILL HAVE THE "PISTON SLAP". I WAS SHOWN BULLETIN # 01-06-01-028 WHICH STATED MODELS:1999-2002 CHEVROLET/GMC PICKUP & UTILITY MODELS,2002 CADILLAC ESCALADE (2WD) WITH 4.8L,5.3L OR 6.0L ENGINES MAY EXHIBIT AN ENGINE KNOCK NOISE THAT BEGINS IN THE FIRST 12,000-15,000 MILES OF USE. THE KNOCK NOISE IS MOST OFTEN NOTICED DURING START-UP AND TYPICALLY DISAPPEARS WITHIN THE FIRST 5-30 SECONDS (MAY LAST LONGER IN EXTREME COLD TEMPERATURES) SINCE WE LIVE IN ALASKA THIS IS VERY TRUE. THE NOISE IS USUALLY MORE NOTICEAB

THERE WAS A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE. PROBLEM ONLY HAPPENS WHEN STARTING VEHICLE IN MORNING. CONTACTED DEALER.*AK

OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN TO TONY CHEVROLET FOR THE BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEMS 3 TIMES. WHEN BRAKING ANYTIME ON A BUMPY ROAD THE ABS SYSTEM KICKS IN RESULTING IN LOSS OF STOPPING POWER AND CAUSING A NEAR ACCIDENT. DURING ALASKA WINTER MONTHS, THE ABS SYSTEM IS OVER SENSITIVE AND DOES NOT ALLOW THE TRUCK STOP IN A TIMELY FASHION. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN THE ABS KICKS IN, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD AND PUSHS BACK AGAINST YOUR FOOT. TONY CHEVROLET STATES THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS ACTING NORMAL. THERE FAVORITE TERM IS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE CONDITION AT THIS TIME" I WENT TO ANOTHER GM DEALERSHIP WITH THIS PROBLEM AND THEY ALSO STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE ABS SYSTEM. WHEN SERVICE TECHS. HOOK UP TO THE TRUCKS COMPUTER AND THE COMPUTER SYSTEM DOESN'T SHOW ANY FAULT CODES, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THERE ISN'T SOMETHING WRONG. TWICE THIS CONDITION HAS JUST ABOUT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER CAR. I WONDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE TO OCCUR BEFORE GM DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THESE DEFECTS? PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. THANK YOU. *AK

WE'VE HAD THIS DRIVETRAIN VIBRATION ALMOST SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. GM SERVICE DEPT. HAS REPLACED 1 TIRE BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T BALACE IT. ALL THE OTHER TIRES HAVE BEEN REBALANCED, ALL 5 TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED. THE TRUCK HAD THE REAR END PARTS REPLACED DUE TO SOME TYPE OF FAILURE. WE'VE HAD THE TRUCK TO GM'S SERVICE DEPT. SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE VIBRATION PROBLEMS. WE WENT THROUGH THE BBB TO HAVE GM BUY BACK WHICH WE LOST. GM REFUSES TO DO ANY MORE VIBRATION RELATED WORK ON THIS TRUCK. THE TRUCK ALSO HAS THE FIRESTONE STEELTEX A/T LT 245/75 R 16 TIRES, AND I'VE ASKED OUR LOCAL GM SERVICE DEPT. IF THESE TIRES ARE ON THE RECALL LIST, WHICH THEY DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR. SOONER OR LATER THERE IS GOING TO BE VIBRATION RELATED PARTS FAILURE AND HOPEFULLY NOT AT HWY SPEEDS. OUR TRUCK IS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK WITH THESE PROBLEMS. GM HAS THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE '99,2000 AND 2001 TRUCK LINES WHICH THEY WON'T/CAN'T FIX. PLEASE HELP US US AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE $30,000 LEMONS. THANK YOU. *AK

THIS WAS ONLY DESIGNED TO HAPPEN WHEN DOME OVERRIDING SWITCH WAS PRESSED FOUR TIMES IN RAPID SUCCESSION. PROBLEM OCCURED WHENEVER SWITCH WAS TOUCHED. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE A CAUSE FOR THIS PROBLEM. *AK CONSUMER STATES THE DEALER REPLACED THE SWITCH AND IT DOES THE SAME THING. *JB

WE'VE HAD DRIVETRAIN VIBRATION TROUBLE WITH OUR TRUCK SINCE IT WAS ALMOST NEW. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPT. SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED DIFFERENT ITEMS WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REDUCED SOME OF THE VIBRATIONS. THE VIBRATION GETS BAD ENOUGH THAT THE DOME LIGHT COVER HAS FALLEN OFF DUE TO VIBRATIONS. FROM WHAT WE'VE RESEARCHED G.M. HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE '99,2000 &2001 SILVERADO TRUCKS AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEMS. THE LAST VISIT TO THE SERVICE DEPT., WE WERE TOLD THAT "YES" THERE IS VIBRATION WITH OUR TRUCK, BUT IT'S WITHIN GM SPECS AND THEY CAN'T OR WON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE WITH IT. WE NOW HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING FROM REVERSE TO DRIVE WITH OUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE THE TRUCK SOMETIMES JUMPS FOWARD. WE ARE GOING THROUGH ARBITRATION WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND SPEAKING WITH THE GM REP. ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS, HE FELT THAT THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOT SAFETY RELATED. I TOLD HIM THAT IF A TRUCK JUMPS FOWARD WITH THE BRAKE ON IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM THE VIBRATION PROBLEM WAS A SAFETY ISSUE ALSO DUE TO THE STRESS PUT ON VIBRATING PARTS IN THE SHORT OR LONG RUN. THE GM REP. IS ACTING LIKE WE HAVE THE ONLY TRUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM, WHICH IS NOT THE CASE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM HERE TO TELL MORE ABOUT THESE PROBLEMS AND WERE MORE THEN HAPPY TO DISCUSS THESE PROBLEMS.

DEALERSHIP CLAIMED BRAKES WERE WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS SET BY MANUFACTURER. *AK ONE PERSON WAS INJURED IN ACCIDENT. *YH

BROUGHT TRUCK INTO AUTO DEALERSHIP AND FIRESTONE DEALERSHIP, AND BOTH TOLD ME THAT MY TIRE IS DELAMINATING. BOTH TOLD ME THIS IS FROM DRIVING WITH A FLAT TIRE.

POPPING AND CRACKING NOISE COMING FROM THE TIRES ON MY TRUCK.

AT 2000 MILES FRONT TIRES STARTED TO SHOW NOTICEABLE WEAR, DEALER SAID FRONT END OUT OF ALIGNMENT COULD HAVE CAUSE THE TIRE WEAR, ROTATED THE BACK TIRES TO THE FRONT AND REALIGNED THE FRONT END, SAME WEAR APPEARED AT 5000 MILES.

I HAD A GRINDING NOISE FROM THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE. I PULLED MY TIRE AND SAW THERE WAS NOT ANY INSIDE BRAKE PAD. THE OUTER BRAKE PAD SEEMED TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE. I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE REAR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE PADS, GMC SENT OUT NOTICES TO DEALERS THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER PADS PAST 20,000 MILES. IT WAS STATED THAT THE ROTORS HAD RUSTED AND PITTED, THUS RIPPING THE PADS APART. I HAD MY FRONT ROTORS REPLACED ON 09/13/2001. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM HERE. IT WAS CAUGHT BEFORE THE ROTORS DESTROYED MY BRAKE PADS. AGAIN THE ROTORS WERE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, THE PADS DID NOT GET REPLACED THIS TIME.*AK

SLIGHT TO HEAVY VIBRATION OCCURS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF BEGINNING AT 64MPH TO 78MPH. PICKUP HAS BEEN DO DEALER 4 TIMES SINCE PURCHASED NEW ON 07/28/01 REGARDING VIBRATION. DEALER KEEPS REBALANCING THE TIRES AND THIS DOES NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PICKUP WILL BE IN THE DEALER'S SHOP AGAIN THIS WEEK, ONLY THIS TIME THEY ARE LOOKING FOR DRIVETRAIN PROBLEMS. THE VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS APPEARS TO BE A REOCCURING PROBLEM WITH THE SILVERADO SINCE INTRODUCTION BASED ON OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS.*AK

INCREASED PEDAL EFFORT FROM IDLE POSITION, I AM AFRAID THAT IF I AM CLOSE TO SOMETHING OR SOMEONE I WILL RUN INTO IT! I AM ALWAYS SPINNING THE BACK WHEELS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE SINCE CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BY ISSUING A BULLETIN, WHY DON'T THEY REPLACE FOR FREE ON NON WARRANTIED VEHICLES.*AK
