2000 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

COLD, UNHEATED, OUTSIDE AIR LEAKS INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE FOOTWELL WHEN THE TRUCK IS DRIVEN ON COLD DAYS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER MANY TIMES AND THEY HAVE MADE THE SITUATION BETTER BY WRAPPING FOAM AROUND THE HEATERBOX AND AIRCONDITIONING DUCTWORK BUT YOUR LEGS STILL GET VERY COLD ON COLD DAYS WHILLE SETTING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEY'VE JUST TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THEY CAN DO UNLESS GM SENDS THEM A REDESIGNED/IMPROVED PART THAT CORRECTS THE PROBLEM. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT A $30,000 TRUCK CANNOT PROVIDE A COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT FOR ITS OWNERS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A COLD NIGHT AND IT SEEMS THAT GM MAY NOT BE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THIS. WHILE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE WITH THE DEALER SERVICE TECH. HE MENTIONED THAT MANY OF THE SILVERADOS, TAHOES AND YUKONS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM AND ALL THE DEALER CAN DO IS WRAP THE HEATER AND DUCTWORK WITH THE FOAM AS THEY'VE ALREADY DONE TO MINE UNTIL GM DECIDES TO ACTUALLY FIX THE PROBLEM.

THROTTLE IS STICKING. CONSUMER WAS TRYING TO PARK THROTTLE GOT STUCK, SENDING VEHICLE INTO THE BUILDING. CONTACTED DEALER, AND THE DEALER REPLACED THROTTLE BODY.*AK

CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONTAL CRASH OF 30 MPH, AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, DEALER DID NOT CHECK VEHICLE, BECAUSE GM WOULD NOT GIVE THEM PERMISSION. *AK *JG

THE DRIVER DOOR IS OVER SIZED AT THE UPPER RIGHT HAND CORNER. THE GAP BETWEEN THE EXTENDED CAB DOOR AND DRIVER DOOR IS VERY SMALL. WHEN CLOSING THE DRIVER DOOR, THE EXTENDED CAB DOOR SHUTTERS. *YH

WHILE DRIVING, VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. UPON IMPACT, AIR BAG ON DRIVER/PASSENGER SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY, DRIVER WAS INJURED. *AK *YH

CONSUMER STATES THAT ENGINE BLOCK AND THE PISTON ARE MADE OUT OF TWO DIFFERENT KINDS METAL. SO THE HEAT EXPANSION OF THE TWO ARE NOT COMPATIBLE,CAUSING ENGINE COLD CRANKING KNOCK. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. *MR

ENGINE CHECK LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON, THEN VEHICLE STARTS TO LOSE POWER, THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON HIGHWAY, AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE. *AK. CONSUMER STATED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS LOOSE CAUSING RATTLING NOISE FROM PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA AND TOP OF INSTRUMENTAL PANEL, THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IS INOPERATIVE AND DRIVERS WINDOW POWER REGULATOR FAILED CAUSING NOISE, THE FUEL FILTER WAS REPLACED. *YD

FRONT TURN SINGLE FULL OF MOISTURE. *AK

THE DRIVE TRAIN SHUDDERS EXCESSIVELY WHEN SWITCHED INTO AUTO FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. I NOTICED THIS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT JUST FORGOT ABOUT TAKING IT IN FOR WARRANTY SERVICE AS I JUST STOPPED USING THE AUTO FOUR WHEEL FEATURE. IT STARTED AT OR ABOUT 30,000 MILES, THE TRUCK HAS 66,000 NOW AND I AM SURE THE DEALER WON'T LISTEN TO ME, JUST MY WALLET. I'LL PUT THIS TO THE TEST NEXT WEEK ON MY VACATION.

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK CONSUMERS WIFE WAS STANDING OUTSIDE OF VEHICLE WHEN TURNED ON IGNITION, AND PAWL JUMPED FROM PARK INTO REVERSE. VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS, DRAGGING WIFE WITH THE DOOR OPEN. VEHICLE STOPPED AND CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. *AK CONSUMER FEELS ACCIDENT WAS CAUSED BY A FAULTY PARK OR NEUTRAL SWITCH. *SLC

WHILE DRIVING COULD STEP ON BRAKE PEDAL, BUT VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP ON TIME. BRAKES WERE PRESSED, AND CONSUMER HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR THAT PROBLEM. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *AIK

WHILE DRIVING DURING A COLD OR WARM START, ENGINE WILL START MAKING LOUD CLICKING NOISES COMING FROM VALVES. CONSUMER HAS TO WARM UP ENGINE BEFORE DRIVING IT EVERY DAY TO TRY TO AVOID NOISE. DEALER COULD NOT DETERMINE WHERE NOISE WAS COMING FROM. *AK *TT

(TIRESIZE: LT24575R16)

NO SUMMARY. DT

WHILE DRIVING HAD PROBLEM CONTROLING VEHICLE, IT PULLS TO THE RIGHT.*AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE EXPERIENCED ONGOING BRAKE FAILURE; WHEN SHE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. SHE HAD TO EXERT MORE FORCE IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER NINE TIMES WHERE BRAKE LINES, ROTORS AND OTHER BRAKING COMPONENTS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WROTE A LETTER TO THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 130,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 30,000.

ENGINE KNOCKS VERY BADLY AT COLD OR HOT START UP. KNOCKING LASTS FOR MINUTES. CHEVROLET SAYS THEY KNOW ABOUT PROBLEM. STATES THAT THE PISTON SKIRTS ARE TOO SHORT CAUSING PISTON WOBBLE. THEY ALSO START THEY CAN'T FIX AT THIS *AK

CONSUMER STATES THAT IF VEHICLE IS NOT USED EVER DAY THE BATTERY WILL DIE OUT. HAD BATTERY REPLACED 8 TIMES. DEALERSHIP CANNOT FIX PROBLEM. *MR

ENGINE VALVES WOULD MAKE A LOUD TAPPING SOUND INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING. DEALER WAS NOTIFIED, AND INFORMED CONSUMER NOT TO BE CONCERNED IF IT DID NOT LAST MORE THEN A MINUTE. *AK *YD

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

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

STARTING IN LATE 2001 THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED FLUCTUATING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN EVEN AFTER FILLING THE TANK. CHEVY SERVICE MANAGER SAID THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES AND WOULD COST ABOUT $400 TO REPAIR. SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM, CHEVROLET SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. *NM

SINCE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS TROUBLES WITH THE SEATBELTS LOCKING UP AND GETTING TIGHTER UNTIL WE HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RELEASE THE BELT BUCKLE. MOST TIMES IT HAPPENS TO THE REAR SEATBELTS AND FROM TIME TO TIME THE FRONT SEATBELTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM STARTS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD OR A FROST HEAVE AND THE SEATBELTS LOCK UP. WE'VE TRIED TO GENTLY PULL ON THE SHOULDER STRAP TO LOOSEN THE BELT, WE'VE TRIED TO JERK ON THE SHOULDER STRAP AND THE ONLY THING THAT WILL LOOSEN THE BELTS IS PUSHING THE RELEASE BUTTON. IF WE DRIVE OFF ROAD TO OUR CAMPING AREA(WE DON'T NEED TO USE 4 WD) THE BELTS HAVE GOTTEN SO TIGHT THAT THE RELEASE BUTTON WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO RELEASE. WE FACE THE PROBLEM OF WHETHER OR NOT TO USE THE SEATBELTS WHEN DRIVING OFF ROAD. WE HAVE TO STOP EVERY 5 MINUTES OR SO TO RELEASE THE SEATBELTS WHEN OFF ROADING. SINCE WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEATS THEY MUST STAY BUCKLED IN. EVEN DRIVING DOWN GRAVEL ROADS WHICH IS ALMOST A DAILY OCCURRENCE LIVING IN OUR AREA OF ALASKA, IT'S A ROYAL PAIN TO HAVE TO STOP AND UNBUCKLY THE BELTS. WE'VE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WE ALWAYS GOT THEIR STANDARD ANSWER "CANNOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERNS AT THIS TIME" THEY FINALLY TOLD ME TO BRING THE TRUCK IN WHEN THE BELTS ARE LOCKED UP SO THEY CAN SEE THE PROBLEM. SO WE DID VISIT THE SERVICE DEPT WITH 3 BELTS LOCKED UP AND THEY TOLD ME "NO PROBLEM, WE'LL ORDER NEW BELTS".THEY CALLED ME A DAY OR SO LATER AND INFORMED ME THAT THE SEATBELTS ARE DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE SEATBELTS ARE CALLED "RATCHETING SEATBELTS AND THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THE BELTS FROM LOCKING UP IS TO PULL THE SEATBELTS OUT AS FAR AS THEY GO AND THEN BUCKLE UP." WE'VE TRIED WHAT THE SERVICE DEPT SUGGESTED AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. SO NOW WE'RE AT A STAND OFF. WHEN IS SOMEBODY GOING TO MAKE GM FIX IT'S DEFECTIVE VEHICLES?I SURE MADE A $30,000 MISTAKE BUYING THIS TRUCK!*AK

ENGINE KNOCKS VERY BADLY AT COLD OR HOT START UP. KNOCKING LASTS FOR MINUTES. CHEVROLET SAYS THEY KNOW ABOUT PROBLEM. STATES THAT THE PISTON SKIRTS ARE TOO SHORT CAUSING PISTON WOBBLE. THEY ALSO START THEY CAN'T FIX AT THIS TIME. ENGINE SOUNDS LIKE A DIESEL AT START UP NOISE IS SO BAD. I AM NERVOUS TO TAKE TRUCK OUT OF TOWN FOR FEAR OF ENGINE FAILURE.

MY HUSBAND CRAIG WAS IN COLLIDED HEAD ON INTO THE SIDE OF ANOTHER VEHICLE DOING ABOUT 35 TO 40MPH. HE HIT THE FRONT HARD ENOUGH TO TOTAL THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK AND SHOVE THE ENGINE BACK SEVERAL INCHES. THE FRAME IS ALSO BENT. WE BELIEVE THE TRUCK WILL BE QUALIFIED AS TOTALLED. DISPITE THE FORCE OF THE IMPACT, THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CRAIG HAD HIS SEAT BELT ON SO WAS ONLY BRUISED AND SORE AFTER THE ACCIDENT. WE ARE CONSERNED WITH THE AIRBAG FAILURE. WHAT IF THERE HAD BEEN A PASSENGER OR CERCUMSTANCES WOULD HAVE REQUIRED THEM? *AK

BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHT BULB FAILED. THROTTLE BODY PEDAL HARD TO PUSH DOWN/REPLACED, STEERING SHAFT NOISE/REPLACED, REPLACED WASHER FLUID TANK, REPLACED PROPELLER SHAFT.

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

TRANSMISSION HAD A VENT TUBE ON IT THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE, THIS WAS CAUSING VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL.*AK

THE ACCELERATOR WILL STICK IN THE MINIMUM POSITION AND REQUIRES A HARD PUSH TO GET IT TO OPEN AT ALL. THIS STICKING OCCURS EVERY TIME THE ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED TO THE MINIMUM POSITION. YD

WHILE DRIVING HUB CAPS KEEP COMING OFF VEHICLE. IT'S WORSE WHEN PULLING TRAILER. DEALER CONTACTED. *AK CONSUMER STATES THE PLASTIC NUTS THAT HOLD THE HUB CAPS WERE COMING LOOSE. *YH

WE PURCHASED THIS CHEVROLET DUALLY TRUCK IN NOV 00. THE TWO FRONT TIRES HAD EXCESSIVE WEAR AND WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER AFTER TWO WEEKS OF TRYING TO LOCATE THEM. WE HAVE FOUND THAT GOODYEAR NO LONGER MAKES THESE TIRES. THE TRUCK WAS MFG 03/00 AND THE TIRES HAVE A DOT # THAT INDICATED THE TIRES WERE MFG 07/00. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OBTAIN REPLACEMENTS SHOULD WE HAVE A BLOWOUT. UNDERSTAND A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED DEC 01 RE THESE TIRES. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS GIVEN US THE RUNAROUND FOR THE LAST FOUR WEEKS AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THESE DEFECTIVE TIRES (TOTAL OF 7 ON THE TRUCK). I DON'T BELIEVE THE TRUCK SAT FOR FOUR MONTHS WITH NO TIRES IN THE BEGINNING. ALSO SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE TOTAL LACK OF ASSISTANCE WITH CHEV CUSTOMER SERVICE, NO RETURN CALLS, LACK OF RESEARCH AND IN GENERAL, A COMPLETE RUNAROUND OVER A PERIOD OF FOUR WEEKS.*AK (DOT NUMBER: MK1L TIRESIZE: 225/75R16)

THEY PUT GREASE ON THE DRIVESHAFT YOKE AND TOOK CARE OF PROBLEM FOR A MONTH OR SO AND NO IT IS DOING IT AGAIN AND WAS TOLD BY DEALER THERE IS A NEW YOKE THAT IS NICKEL PLATED. OF COURSE IT COST ALMOST $200.00 AND TRUCK IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SO NOW I AM STUCK PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. *LA

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
