| Defect Summary | Some pickup trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles equipped with a hydraulic pump driveshaft that can fracture, resulting in immediate loss of hydraulic power steering assist. on certain vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, the same condition can result in loss of power assist for braking after the reserve pressure is depleted. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | An inoperative pump can cause increased steering effort, and in hydro-boost equipped vehicles also increased braking effort, but does not completely eliminate the ability to steer or slow the vehicle. | |||||||||||||||
| Corrective Summary | Dealers will replace the hydraulic pump. the campaign began on february 14, 2005. owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or gmc at 1-866-996-9463. | |||||||||||||||

| Transmission needs to be replaced. after highway driving, the transmission will not engage in 2nd or 3rd gear. no error message or warning appears. this nearly caused an accident when the transmission failed at an intersection. i bought the truck in july to assist w/rescues and cannot put the animals or myself at risk. chevrolet is aware of this issue; the local chevy dealership said they have seen it often; my personal mechanic has seen it often. chevrolet asked me to take it to their dealership and have the diagnostics run. $90 and confirmation transmission needed. now they want me to pay $2,500 to have a new transmission put in by their dealership, then discuss any reimbursement. this is a very dangerous known defect and chevrolet does not guarantee the replacement transmission will not do the same. it appears a death will be required before chevrolet takes responsibility, then they can deal with a class action suit. *nm | |||

| Dt: about 3 or 4 moths ago, there was a light that came on in vehicle that said transmission fluid hot. this happened on the interstate. also, there was a vehicle warning light that instructed driver to pull over and let vehicle idle. owner took it to dealer, who reported that there was more than normal metal shavings in the transmission fluid pan, and that the clutch could be going out. then, dealer changed fluid and filter, and instructed the owner that he could continue driving it until it absolutely had to be repaired. the owner continued driving the vehicle, and has hard shifting. owner called the dealership, who reported that could be a symptom of the computer trying to compensate fort he transmission which was failing. then on the 12th of july 2005 the message came on again transmission fluid hot. then owner contacted gm directly, who tried to sell the owner a new truck, but offered no assistance to owner with transmission problem. the vehicle was going to be repaired. the vehicle was regularly serviced with some service records available. there were no other major issues with the truck.*ak | |||

| When taking off from a stopped position and coming to a stop there is a deep squeeking sound coming somewhere between the driveshaft and transmission. i was told by chevy garage there was a fix for the extended cab version but not my regular cab truck. it will eventually take money to fix because anything that squeeks is rubbing and will eventually wear out. it was a problem when i reached 15,000 miles and is still a problem and loud aggrevation at 61000 miles. it is even bad enough that when i come to a redlight or a stop sign people think i am beeping my horn at them. it has been four years and 46000 miles later and there is no fix for the vehicle to my knowledge. plus the tires didnt last 40000 miles the brake line had to be repaired the steering linkage is bad and when i had a cracked window replaced the person showed me that there was no seal placed around the window to keep it from leaking. so long chevy hello ford.*ak | |||

| I own a 2000 chevrolet silverado 2wd lt with towing package. the truck has never towed a vehicle and currently has only 41,835 miles. on december 29, 2003, i was driving home from work when the automatic transmission failed. i really never heard of a transmission failing at 41,000 miles. the truck has the towing package and is heavy duty on the transmission. i never towed a car with this truck or carried less than 500 lbs in the bed. i feel that this problem should be reviewed because i could have been towing a vehicle and going up an incline. i feel that this is serious safety hazard to other drivers on the road. this is not a one time problem, because i have other friends with silverados that are replacing their transmissions less than 50,000 miles. a transmission by design should last at least 100,000 miles. i have contacted gm about this problem and they say that there is no service bulletins or recall. my incident is isolated and gm is only wiling to replace 50% of the cost. the dealership that i took the truck to had 3 other people with similar problems. i have another local friend with the same problem. this is isolated??? http://www.consumeraffairs.com/automotive/gm_silverado_transmission.html this is a serious hazard to other drivers on the road today. the cost of a new transmission from the dealer is $2400 and gm is willing to reimburse you 50% of that cost. the cost is so overinflated that this is not a fix. local shops will charge you to rebuild the transmission for around $1200. i think gm, just wants to make money on these transmissions. there is a service bulletin describing a problem with the driveshaft causing a clunking noise. gm failed to fix this problem and it causing these auto transmissions to fail prematurely. my guess is that the driveshaft is not the correct length and is moving back and forth thus causing a clunking noise. over a period of time this would cause the transmission to fail. | |||

| Ongoing problem for rough idle, from the time the vehicle was purchased new. several dealers told me it was normal, another said it was problem with the 5.3 liter; however, nothing to worry about. fuel injectors have been cleaned several times. now vehicle out of warranty. after vehicle is up to operating temperature and is shut off and remains for approximately half hour, upon restarting, vehicle tumbles. i contacted chevrolet customer service who provided me with an extended warranty on the engine and they have washed there hands of any other problems they may occur. my complaint is the rough idle has always been present, and now the tumbling is being caused as a result of the prior problem. this vehicle has been in service numerous times and the problem has not been diagnosed by chevrolet. do any service bulletins exist for a similar problem as this? file #1-89542103 & 1-89542103. automatic transmission was another issue that was addressed while under warranty. now, tcc valve is sticking causing a delayed gear engagement. again, sorry but your vehicle is out of warranty. *la | |||

| My 2000 chevy silverado with 75000 miles transmision would not shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. the 3rd and 4th gear plate is burned out because chevy makes this part of a plastic resin instead of a aluminum plate. | |||

| I have had problems with this vehicle since i bought it. my brakes habitually fail if i hit a bump while braking, and i have been told by both the dealer and the manufacturer that my brakes are operating within the normal specs for this vehicle and the driving conditions in my area. they do nothing to fix the problem. i use my personal vehicle to respond to fires and medical emergencies, and am concerned that i will have an accident en route to help someone. also, my automatic transmission occasionally goes into neutral while stopped in traffic, or will not engage upon putting it in 'drive', but the dealership is unable to duplicte the problem, so they say they can't fix it. my fuel pump has failed and been replaced more than once. my windshield wipers repeatedly fail on the passenger side.*ak | |||

| Well first off 1: vibrations at speeds of 40+ the front end feels like it going to fall apart the sterring wheel shakes violently when slowing as the the vibrating is going on, you have to come to a complete stop and put it park and then proceed and it might go away, it's like the driveline or shaft gets out of balance, and the brake barley work its like they are fighting against you putting pressure on them. #2: when you hit a bump with brakes applied the peddal starts pumping back and forth and you can barely stop. #3: front left suspension squeaks and rattles when making a right or left turn its like your shifting the weight and something is looose. #4: transmission clunks when putting into gear from park or into reverse almost as if a u-joint was bad but noise comes from tranny and driveshaft. and when coming to a stop you can feel the tranny down shifting like its just dropping out of gear the whole truck rocks. well chevy need to do something before someone dies,, after reading the previous complaints i thought i just had a lemon but i see i'm not alone i took the trk to the dealer for the vibration and was told no problem existed but the vibration went away for awhile do they know something and just are told be quiet. help me i should have got ford | |||

| Drivetrain clunk or thunk as the dealer called it. i have a 2000 chevy silverado z71 4x4 truck. i noticed the clunking about 2 weeks after owning the truck. the dealer replaced the yoke but the problem still persisted. the tech acknowledged the problem but said it was normal for a 4-wheel drive. that is wrong, i have talked to many people that have 4x4 trucks and they do not have this sound when stopping and starting. i have talked with people that own 1999-2001 chevy's and most of them have this clunking. my motor also knocks when it is started. the dealer tech said as long as the knock stops in a given time, that is also normal. in cold weather it knocks right up to the time limit, so nothing can be done about it. if you try to drive it shortly after this time, the condition is worse. again, the tech said that is normal. this is the same on the 1999-2001 trucks. this is outrageous for a $30,000 vehicle to have these types of problems. i am afraid there will be failures after the warranty period is up. there is a bulletin from chevrolet that says these things are normal so i am assuming any chevy dealer will say the same thing.*ak | |||

| I was driving home one night in my 2000 z71 when i noticed a banging sound coming from the rear. i thought it was the air compressor in the bed of the truck moving around. when i determined that was not the source of the sound, i took the truck to a friends garage where we lifted the rear and removed the rear-end housing cover. upon inspection of the differential we noticed that the retention bolt had broken and the cross pin fell out. this in turn caused the spider gears to explode. i purchased and installed a new differential, $500.00. i still have a ticking noise coming from the rear. i believe that is due to a missing tooth on the pinion gear caused by the cross pin. now i have to order a new ring and pinion gear set, $300. 74,000 miles. 14,000 over warranty. i found out that this is a fairly common problem in these z71's. *nm | |||

| Problem with chevrolet silverado parking brakes. they fail constently...its a safety hazard when pulling a boat or parking on a hill, especially with a manual transmission. it is usually 200-300 dollars to repair. i had my truck roll back while trying to load a boat. i feel this is a problem that chevrolet will not own up too. luckliy no one was injured. i have looked online at several message boards and it seems to be a widespread problem. thanks daniel. *ak | |||

| The shift lever slipped out of gear several times while the consumer was traveling and the engine was revving. the dealer replaced a worn out bearing and seal but the consumer is still concerned. *yh *cb | |||

| Service f.w.d. light comes on , dealer says nothing is wrong but the f.w.d. dose not work sometimes. i am afraid that it will go into f.w.d. low when i am driving at a moderate speed causing transmission problems and possible injury. *jb | |||

| I noticed that the transfer case was leaking fliud. the truck was going in for a recall in the steerinng pump. so i asked the dealer to check where the leak was coming from. the dealer called me and told me that the transfer case had a small hole in it and it would be $1,200.00 to fix it. i brought the truck home and looked at the transfer case myself. the transfer case did have a small hole in it. i was going to put some jb weld on the hole for the time being. until i could afford to have the transfer case fixed. when i touched the hole with my finger i noticed that the transfer case had really weak medal in that area like when it was made it was not made right. i have been talking to gm about the problem they are tring to decide if the transfer case failure is there fault or if the truck has been beat on. i have only used the 4wd one time in the last 9 months that i have owned the truck the people that had it before me took really good care of the truck. i am really upset that chevrolet's do not last more then 5 years.*ak | |||

| Ltr fm audrey wissinger (pa) concerned about the problems she experienced with her 2000 chevrolet silverado pickup truck.*mr both front/rear rotors had to be replaced. the old brake linings were replaced with new ones. the rotors were literally falling apart-inferior metal. dealer stated this was the result of the vehicle not being driven enough. there was a terrible kluncking sound in the rear end or drive shaft. this happened in a downshift or upshift. the dealer stated it was normal play in the drivetrain. all four wheels had to be replaced at 6000 miles because they were rusted. tailgate strap broke at 17000 miles. when the 4-wheel drive was engaged, it made a terrible growling that didn't seem normal. *ph *jb | |||

| 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. | |||

| Front wheels will not pull in 4wd caused by premature wear and slipping of clutch discs in front transfer case. wearing on the clutch discs even continues while in 2wd. soulution is an expensive overhaul of the front transfer case. | |||
