2002 Chevrolet Silverado complaints

I HAD TWO INSIDE DOOR PANEL REPLACED ALREADY. THESE TWO THINGS WERE FIXED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, IT GETS WORSE WHEN IT IS COLDER. FUEL GAUGE IS INACCURATE AND JUMPS AROUND WHEN TRUCK IS NOT IN A MOVING GEAR. I AM VERY UPSET ABOUT THE LAST TWO, BECAUSE CHEVY SAYS THE TRUCK IS WORKING WITHIN "NORMAL CHEVY PARAMETER". I HAVE ASKED MANY MECHANICS AND THEY SAY EITHER ONE SHOULD BE HAPPENING. THE DATE BELOW IS AN APPROXIMATE TIME THE LAST TWO STARTED. I ALSO HAVE HAD IT IN TWICE FOR BOTH OF THESE PROBLEMS. *JB

TRANSMISSION SLIPS DURING THE 1-2 UP SHIFT AT MODERATE THROTTLE INPUT CAUSING A DISTINCTIVE CLUNK AND COULD BE A POSSIBLE SAFETY CONCERN ON TWO WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLES ON SLIPPERY ROADS, WHERE AS VEHICLE LOSS OF CONTROL COULD OCCUR WHEN TRANSMISSION ENGAGES.

AFTER 3 WEEKS OF OWNERSHIP WE STARTED EXPERIENCING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING AND BRAKING OF THIS VEHICLE. STEERING WHEEL WOULD "CATCH" AND MAKE THUMPING NOISES AS WE TURNED RIGHT OR LEFT SHARP TURNS (SLOWLY). BRAKES ARE GOING TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT SOONER OR LATER AS THE PEDAL GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND THUMPS LOUDLY BUT DOES NOT SLOW THE VEHICLE WHEN YOU TRY TO MAKE A MODERATELY SUDDEN STOP. WE HAD OUR TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AFTER OWNING IT FOR 3 WEEKS AND THE IDIOTS AT SPITZER CHEVROLET TRIED TO TELL US IT WAS THE TRAILER HITCH MAKING ALL THE NOISE.....WHAT A JOKE

I HAVE A 02 SIVERADO A 5,000 MILES THE MOTOR STARTED KNOCKING, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT'S OUT OF THERE HANDS, AND TOLD US TO CALL CHEVROLET DOCUMENT #816465, WHICH SAYS THE KNOCKING IS NORMAL, AND ALL THEY CAN DO IS EXTEND THE WARRANTY.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CURVY MAOUNTAIN ROAD AND STEERING TO THE LEFT IN A TURN. MY STEERING LOCKED UP AND I HAD NO CONTROL. I GOT THE TRUCK STOPPED BEFORE WE WENT OVER A SEVERAL HUNDRED FOOT DROP. I HAD MY WIFE, 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, AND 6 MONTH OLD SON IN THE TRUCK WITH ME. I GOT THE STEERING UNLOCKED AND DROVE HOME. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID SINCE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY WILL NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING IN THE FRONT END OR STEERING WITHOUT DUPLICATING THE PROBLEM. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A TRUCK THAT HAS DONE THIS. I USALLY HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME IN A TRUCK THAT IS UNSAFE. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT HE WILL NOT AUTHORIZE ANY REPAIR WITHOUT DUPLICATION. I ASKED HIM WHY HE WOULD SEND A TRUCK OUT THAT WAS UNSAFE. ALL HE COULD SAY WAS I CARE BUT NO REPAIRS WITHOUT DUPLICATION. I CONACTED GM AND I AM WAITING A REPLY.

VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WHILE IN PARK. TRUCK WAS FOUND AGAINST THE HOUSE WITH THE DOORS LOCKED AND STILL IN PARK.

AGAIN, IT WAS IN PARK WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. VEHICLE WAS LOOKED AT BY TWO SEPARATE SERVICE DEPARTMENTS WITH NO CAUSE FOUND. DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE TRUCK AND THE HOME BUT SINCE GM COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL DAMAGES. WILL MOST LIKELY GET RID OF THE VEHICLE (TRADING IT IN AT SAME DEALER WHO SOLD AND SERVICED IT) BECAUSE WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE LEAVING THE VEHICLE UNATTENDED. TS
