2001 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

COLD START KNOCK OR PISTON SLAP. MY 2001 SILVERADO 6.0L SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL WHEN I START IT UP. PROBLEM BEGAN AT 11,000 MILES. NOW HAVE 18,400 MILES. - PISTON SLAP IS LOUDER AND MORE PERSISTENT. GM HAS ACKNOWLEDGED PROBLEM, ISSUED SERVICE REQUEST #, BUT NO SERVICE AND NO RESPONSE. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND PRODUCT. GM SHOULD REMEDY HUGE ENGINEERING MISTAKE AND FIX THESE ENGINES OR BUY VEHICLES BACK! *JB

YOU CAN LET UP ON BRAKE, THEN RE-APPLY AND STOPPING POWER IS PROVIDED. I AM TOLD BY THE CHEVROLET DEALER, WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK, THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT A RECALL ON THIS, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NONE.

MY 2001 SILVERADO TRUCK HAS HAD A STICKY GAS PEDAL SINCE NEW. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO MOTION ONCE THE TRANSMISSION IS ENGAGED IN 'DRIVE' DUE TO A GAS PEDAL THAT IS STUCK. I HAVE TO PLACE AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO GET THE THROTTLE TO UNSTICK AND FEED GAS TO THE ENGINE. THIS RESULTS IN AN ABRUPT, JOLTING START.

MY 2001 CHEVROLET PICKUP TRUCK HAS 3500 MILES ON IT, AND IN THE TWO SNOW STORMS THIS WINTER(IT HAS ONLY BEEN IN TWO SNOW DRIVING SITUATIONS) BOTH TIMES THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER LINKAGE BECAME DISCONNECTED BELOW THE WIPER ROTATING OUTPUT SHAFT. AFTER THE FIRST SNOW STORM I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO SIMPLY RECONNECTED EVERYTHING AND COMMENTED: WE HAVE HAD ABOUT 45 SIMILAR CASES JUST THIS MORNING. HE COMMENTED THAT THE WIPERS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED IN SUCH HEAVY SNOW. THE SNOW BUILT UP UNDER THE WIPER ARM, PUTTING STRESS ON THE INTERNAL LINKAGE BELOW THE SHEET METAL, AND CAUSED THE LINKAGE TO POP APART. HE SUGGESTED THAT I NOT DRIVE IN SUCH HEAVY SNOWFALL, OR THAT I KEEP THE LINKAGE CLEAR OF SNOW BUILDUP. I POINTED OUT THE OBVIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR PULLING OVER EVERY TEN MINUTES TO CLEAR AWAY SNOW FROM UNDER THE WIPER AND ALL HE COULD RESPOND TO THAT WAS: "FORD HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS CHEVROLET ON THESE WIPER LINKAGES COMING APART". THE SECOND STORM WAS LAST NIGHT. I CAREFULLY REMOVED ALL SNOW FROM THE HOOD, FROM AROUND THE WIPERS, FROM ON TOP OF THE ROOF (SO SNOW COULD NOT SLIDE OFF IT ONTO THE WIPERS) AND AFTER 15 MINUTES OF DRIVING, THE PASSENGER WIPER FAILED WITH A LOUD MECHANICAL NOISE. I STOPPED AND MEASURED THE SNOW THICKNESS ON THE HOOD AT LESS THAN ONE INCH. I HAPPEN TO HAVE A DIGITAL CAMERA WITH ME AND TOOK SEVERAL PICTURES OF THE DEPTH OF THE SNOW IN THE DARK WITH A FLASH ATTACHMENT. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY DEFECT AND ONE WHICH THE NHTSA SHO

WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND WITHOUT WARNING THE THROTTLE PEDAL WILL STICK CAUSING A DISTRACTION TO THE CONSUMER. DEALER NOTIFIED. *JG

WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH, CONSUMER STATES' ANOTHER DRIVER PULLED INFRONT AND CONSUMER HIT THAT VEHICLE ON ITS SIDE. NONE OF THE VEHICLES ARE BAGS DEPLOYED. CONSUMER FEELS THAT THIS COLLISION WAS A HARD IMPACT AND AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED.

COMPLAINT ON 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXTENDED-CAB. THE VEHICLE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN IT WAS FIRST STARTED OR AFTER BEING FULLY WARMED UP. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT GM WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF RE-DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING A NEW CYLINDER PISTON FOR THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT SEEMED THE PISTONS WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT A COMBINATION OF A TIMING ADJUSTMENT OR DECARBON OF THE ENGINE OR VALVE ADJUSTMENT WOULD POSSIBLY TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE NOISE BECAME LOUDER. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME HE WAS TOLD THAT GM STATED THE ENGINE NOISE WAS NORMAL. *JB

CONSUMER STATES: WHILE DRIVING AT THE SPEED OF 45MPH WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL COLLISION NEITHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PLEASE PROVIDED ANY ADDITIONAL IN FORMATION. TS

WHEN HAULING HEAVY LOADS, CONSUMER STATES THE TRUCK CONSUMES MORE OIL THAN NORMAL. CONSUMER FEELS THIS MAY BE A DEFFECT. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. MR

REBUILT TRANSMISSION STILL SLIPPING NOW ALSO IS GEARED WRONG AND CLUNKING WHEN SHIFTING FROM P/R/N/D WAS NOT HAPPENING BEFOR REBUILDING IT. HANDED BULLETEN STATING IT WAS NORMAL. ENGINE HAS KNOCKING AND PINGING ALL THE TIME. GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT IS NORMAL. THEY GAVE US A 100,000 MILE 6 YR WARRANTY EXCEPT THERE IS A CLAUSE THAT STATES IT DOES NOT COVER PRE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THEY REFUSE TO SEND US SOMETHING STATING THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A PRE EXISITING CONDITION IT'S IN OUR FILE AND SAID THEY WOULD DO NOTTHING MORE FOR ME SAID GOOD BYE AND HUNG UP. ENGINE IS ALSO LOSING GAS MILEAGE, POWER AND IS MISSING. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT IT MAY CAUSE PROBLEMS WHILE WE ARE TOWING OUR BOAT BASED ON YOUR SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER 01058 BUILETIN SEQUENCE NUMBER 620. WE ARE CONCERENED THAT IT MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. DT

WHEN I HAVE MY PLOW ON THE TRUCK IT WILL OVER HEAT AND FOG UP ALLTHE WINDOWS. THE WINDOWS FOG UP SO FAST AND SO MUCH THAT IT IS HARD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD BECAUSE YOU CANT SEE. I TOLD THE DEALER ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR AND THEY SAID THAT IF THEY DID NOT SEE IT HAPPEN THEY COULD NOT FIX IT. AS SOON AS I PUT MY PLOW ON THIS YEAR IT DID IT AGAIN . NOW THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT AND THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT . THEY SAID IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH MY TRUCK. THEY ARE TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO FIX IT BUT IN THE MEAN TIME I AM DRIVING MY FAMILY AROUND IN AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. DT

WHILE TRAVELING AT 60 MPH THE VEHICLE ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. CONSUMER STATES WAS ABLE TO RESTART. TOOK TO CHEVROLET AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEM WITH ENGINES STALLING. PLEASE PROVIDE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION. MR

ENGINE IS USING BETWEEN 4 AND 7 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. GENERAL MOTORS DESIGNED A NEW PCV VALVE IN HOPES OF SOLVING THIS OIL USAGE PROBLEM. IT HAS NOT HELPED ONE BIT. THE TRUCK IS NOT LEAKING THE OIL OUT ON THE GROUND. THERE IS NO BLUE SMOKE COMING FROM TAILPIPE. THIS TO ME SEEMS TO BE AIR POLLUTION. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A NATION WIDE PROBLEM NOT JUST MINE. THE VEHICLE IS DOING THIS AT NORMAL HIGHWAY DRIVING SPEEDS OF 55 TO 70 MPH. DT

THE ENGINE STARTED KNOCKING UPON COLD START UP AT APPROX. EIGHT THOUSAND MILES, AND A PROBLEM STARTED WITH A ENGINE PINGING NOISE(VALVE CLATTER) AT THE SAME MILEAGE. THE PROBLEMS WERE REPORTED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES IN WHICH NO ATTEMPT FOR CORRECTION WAS MADE ON REPAIRING THE ENGINE KNOCK. THE VALVE CLATTER PROBLEM HAS BEEN WORKED ON MORE THAN THREE TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION. NOW THE PROBLEM IS DEEMED UNREPAIRABLE OR AS THE DEALER STATES "NORMAL" AS MY REPLY IS THAT THE TRUCK DID NOT MAKE ANY NOISE UNTILL 8,000 MILES, IF THE NOISE IS NORMAL WHY DID IT TAKE 8,OOO MILES FOR THE PROBLEM TO ARRISE. AT THE PRESENT TIME THE ENGINE KNOCKS ON BOTH HOT AND COLD START AND VALVE CLATTER IS EXPERIENCED UPON ACCELERATION, CONSTANT SPEEDS, AND IS THE WORST WHEN TRYING TO TOW A TRAILER OF LESS THAN 30% OF VEHICLES MAX GVWR. THE SECOND PROBLEM IS THE BUMPING, KNOCKING LOOSE STEERING SENSATION FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS PROBLEM HAS ALSO BEEN WORKED ON SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION. I HAVE RECENTLY BEEN INFORMED THAT THERE ARE NEW INTERMEDIATE STEERING SHAFT PARTS THAT ARE SUPPOSE TO FIX MY PROBLEM, BUT I AM NOT BEING TOLD OF A COMPLETION OR DELIVERY DATE ON THIS CORRECTION. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE STEERING IS GOING TO MALFUNCTION CAUSING A ACCIDENT. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MANY TIMES WITH MY CONCERNS. THE ONLY REPLIES I HAVE RECEIVED ARE "YES THERE IS A PROBLEM, BUT WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, OR WILL CALL YOU!" IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A MANUFACTURER THAT CAN DESIGN AND MANUFACTU

BENT AND TWISTED FINGERS MR. ULATOWSKI OWNS A BUILDING SUPPLY COMPANY AND WEARS OUT A PICKUP TRUCK EVERY YEAR OR TWO BECAUSE OF THE EXTENSIVE DRIVING. MR. ULATOWSKI'S FINGERS ARE CRIPPLED FROM HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE INDEX, MIDDLE AND RING FINGERS OF BOTH HANDS ARE BENT OVER THE BABY FINGERS. INFORMATION SUBMITTED ON THE BEHALF OF MR. ULATOWSKI BY MIKE TOMICH 989-665-2311 MR. ULATOWSKI WISHES HIS IDENTY BE HELD CONFIDENTIAL. DT

PER THE MANUFACTURES DIRECTIONS I INFLATE THE TIRES TO 55PSI FRONT AND 80PSI REAR. I TOW A 30FT, 10,000LB FIFTH WHEEL WHOSE KING PIN WEIGHT IS 1600LBS. I DRIVE UP TO 60MPH TOWING AND BETWEEN 65 AND 70 WHEN NOT TOWING. I CHOOSE THE TRUCK TO PROVIDE A ONE THIRD SAFETY MARGIN FOR THE TRUCKS TOTAL CAPACITY. HAVE ROTATED THE TIRES FRONT TO REAR AS CHEVY RECOMMENDS AND INFLATED ACCORDINGLY. HAVE NOTICED LATELY THAT THE TIRES HAVE A CIRCUMFERENTIAL DEPRESSION MIDWAY UP THE TIRE SIDE WALL ON BOTH SIDES. IN THIS DEPRESSION AREA THERE IS CHECKING ON BOTH SIDES. THE CHECKING DOES NOT SHOW UP ON THE REST OF THE SIDE WALL. BEING FAMILIAR WITH TIRE MANUFACTURING THIS TELLS ME THAT THE RUBBER SHEET LAYUP PRIOR TO VULCANIZING IS NOT UNIFORM FROM BEAD TO BEAD AROUND THE TIRE. THIS MAY BE A POTENTIAL AREA OF SIDE WALL SEPERATION, DUE TO LOADING OR START UP AND STOPPING RADIAL TORQUE ON THE TIRE. ALL 4 TIRES EXHIBIT THIS BUT I DIDN'T NOTICE IT PRIOR TO ROTATING THEM. THE TIRES WERE MADE IN CANADA TO TPC 2012 MS 23572 UR BM05326-2 IF THIS HELPS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THESE TIRES AND THE POSSIBLE PROBLEM THEY MAY HAVE. THEY ARE NOT TO THE POINT, WEAR WISE, THAT I WOULD BUY A NEW SET. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK AMD HOW YOU VIEW THIS ISSUE. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CALL OR EMAIL ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. I HAD TALKED WITH MR. GEORGE GILLESPIE AND HE ADVISED ME TO FILL OUT THIS QUESTIONAIRE, AND HE FOUND THIS ISSUE INTERESTING. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. YOURS TRULEY, MIKE GRUDT DT

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WILL START TO SURGE WHILE THE CONSUMER IS DRIVING, THERE IS ALSO A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. CONTACTED DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. NLM

THE CONSUMER STATES THAT WHEN THEY UNHOOKED THE TAIL GATE, THE STRAPS HAD BROKEN. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. NLM THE TAILGATE STRAPS ARE COVERED WITH PLASTIC. MOISTURE GETS BEHIND THE PLASTIC COVER AND HOLDS IT TO THE CABLE TO RUST. THE PLASTIC ON THE STRAPS SHOULD BE SEALED AT BOTH ENDS, PREVENTING RUST TO FORM INSIDE. THE TECHNICIAN FOUND THAT THE TAILGATE CABLES ARE DEFECTIVE-REPLACED CABLES. *SCC

CONSUMER NOTICED INTERMITTENTLY THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS BECOME INOPERABLE OBSTRUCTING THE DRIVER'S VIEW, A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON SIMILAR MAKES AND MODELS, HOWEVER THIS VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDE DUE TO THE VIN#. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED. PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.

CONSUMER STATES THAT VEHICLE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING. VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. *MR

I WAS SOUTH BOUND ON ONE WAY STREET 30 MPH INTO GREEN LIGHT INTERSECTION. A WEST BOUND CAR FAILED TO STOP AND STRUCK REAR PANEL BEHIND DRIVERS REAR WHEEL. THIS STARTED A SPIN AND THREW ME AGAINST DRIVERS WINDOW. I BLACKED OUT FOR A SECOND AND THE TRIED TO REGAIN CONTROL. I HIT BRAKES HARD, BUT WHEEL CONTINUED TO SPIN AT 30 MPH WHICH CAUSED ME TO SPIN IN DONUT FASHION. THIS THREW ME AGAINST A CURB AND BROKE OFF THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL AS THE TRUCKED SKIPPED ONTO THE SIDEWALK, SPUN ACROSS AND SHEARED OFF A SMALL 3" DIAMETER TREE. THE TRUCK CONTINUED TO SPIN IN DONUT FASHION TOWARDS A BOY SCOUT BUILDING, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TAKE MY HANDS OFF OF THE WHEEL LONG ENOUGH TO THROW INTO NEUTRAL AND STOP. THE ENGINE IDLES DOWN TO NORMAL AFTER SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL. ALL OF THE ACCIDENT WAS IN A DIRECTION TO THE SOUTHEAST OF THE ORIGINAL IMPACT, NOT TO THE SOUTHWEST AS WOULD BE EXPECTED. I FEEL THE DAMAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN SLIGHT IF THE THROTTLE WOULD NOT HAVE STUCK, PROBABLY JUST THE REAR PANEL OF THE TRUCK. INSTEAD THERE WAS DAMAGE TO ALL PANELS AND DOORS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK, PLUS MY INJURIES. THE GOOD THING IS THAT NO BOY SCOUTS WERE IN THE PARKING LOT!!*AK

THE AC DELCO BATTERY LEAKED ACID WHICH DRIPPED ONTO THE FRONT LEFT BRAKE LINE. I NOTICED THIS BEFORE IT CORRODED THE BRAKE LINE AND CAUSED A CRASH. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO MANY VEHICLES WITH THE AC DELCO BATTERY. I ASK YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS BEFORE IT KILLS HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.*AK

KNOCKING NOISE FROM BEGINNING-DEALER STATED "COLD STARTUP"-WRONG! MANUFACTURER SAID NOT DETRIMENTAL TO ENGINE-THEY HAD TO REPLACE MY ENGINE @ 25,000 MILES-STILL KNOCKING. GRINDING IN REAR END AT TAKE OFF-HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVESHAFT-STILL GRINDING. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN 4 TIMES FOR ENGINE KNOCKING AND 5 TIMES FOR REAR END GRINDING. I'M NOW FIGHTING WITH GM AND BBB FOR A BUY BACK-MY TRUCK QUALIFIES UNDER THE LEMON LAW-33 TOTAL DAYS IN SHOP SO FAR. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER!!!*AK
