2000 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE PEDAL PULSATED BETWEEN 3-10 MPH AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. A NHTSA RECALL, # 05V379000 WAS PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE CONCERNING, THE SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: ANTILOCK HOWEVER, THE RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT OFFER A SECOND REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL.

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO. THE UPPER INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT IS DEFECTIVE AND WAS REPLACED PER SERVICE BULLETIN 00-02-35-003J IN JAN. 2002. PROBLEMS WITH CHATTERS AND ERRATIC STEERING PERFORMANCE HAVE CONTINUED AND GM STATES THAT THEY PLAN TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BUT NEVER HAVE. THEIR RECOMMENDATION IS TO GREASE THE SHAFT...WHICH ONLY HELPS FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND THEN THE CHATTER AND ERRATIC STEERING PERFORMANCE RETURNS. IT'S A DISTRACTION WHICH DRIVING AND IN MY OPINION COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I ALSO QUESTION WHETHER THE CURRENT SHAFT IS STRONG ENOUGH IN THE EVENT OF A RIGOROUS STEERING MANEUVER. GM HAS DRAGGED IT'S FEET ON THIS AND IT'S TIME AN OUTSIDE AGENCY LOOKED INTO IT AND INSISTED THAT GM RECALL THE VEHICLE AND DEVELOP A PERMANENT FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. SUCH ERRATIC PERFORMANCE IN MY OPINION IS A DISTRACTION THAT COULD CONTRIBUTE TO AN ACCIDENT AND THE SHAFT COULD STRIP OR FRACTURE AS WELL IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS ACCORDING TO CERTAIN MECHANICS I'VE TALKED WITH. *JB

I OWN A 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO 4X4. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE COMPUTER DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY ALL THE TIME. I CAN LOOSE THE BRAKES AT ANY TIME. I HAVE TALKED TO A FEW OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME STYLE TRUCK AND THEY HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HAVE HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED, NEW BRAKES INSTALLED, AND THE MOST RECENT RECALL TO CLEAN THE BRAKE CYLINDER(?) CLEANED BY A CHEVY DEALER COMPLETED. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. IT MAY HAVE BEEN 2-3 WEEKS IN-BETWEEN FAILURES. WHAT HAPPENS IS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH MINIMUM STOPPING POWER. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED THIS LAST TIME BUT UNFORTUNATELY THIS TIME I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH ROAD TO STOP ON AND RAN INTO A TREE. DAMAGES, ACCORDING TO THE BODY SHOP, ARE GOING TO BE BETWEEN $3000-$4000 DOLLARS. THE TRUCK IS IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT THIS TIME AND I WILL HAVE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE COMPUTER REPLACED. I KNOW FOR A FACT THIS IS THE CAUSE OF MY ACCIDENT. I WAS HOPING FOR A RECALL FROM CHEVROLET TO AVOID THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. I WILL SAVE THE OLD UNIT ALONG WITH ALL THE REPAIR BILLS AND FUTURE INCREASES IN MY INSURANCE PREMIUMS AND HOPE THAT SOMEWHERE IN THE FUTURE THE TRUCK DOES GET A RECALL. I WILL THEN IN TURN HOLD CHEVROLET RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BILLS INCURRED. *JB
