SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WE PURCHASED TWO 2008 CHEVROLET PICK UP TRUCKS ON THE SAME DATE AND ARE EXPERIENCING A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH BRAKE ROTOR WARPING. I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AFTER 3,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 11,300 MILES. IT HAS HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AT 8,000 MILES. ON APRIL 14, 2009 VEHICLE #2 WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A STEEP HILL AND THE BRAKES BARELY STOPPED THE TRUCK DUE TO THE ROTORS BEING WARPED AND OVERHEATING. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND A COMPLAINT #71-716924191 WAS FILED WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE NATIONAL LINE. VEHICLE #1 WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A HILL LAST THURSDAY AND THAT VEHICLE BARELY STOPPED DUE TO BAD ROTORS. WE EXPRESSED TO CHEVROLET THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY SAID THEY WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF THEIR WARRANTY AND TURNED DOWN THE ROTORS AS NECESSARY AS LONG AS THERE IS STILL SERVICEABLE LIFE LEFT IN THEM. THEY WILL NOT INSTALL ANY BETTER ROTORS NOR WOULD THEY OFFER ANY OTHER SOLUTION. THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISER TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ALL PICK UP TRUCK ROTORS ON VEHICLES THAT FREQUENTLY TRAVEL ON HILLS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH CARS AS WELL. THESE TWO PICK-UP TRUCKS DO NOT NORMALLY TOW ANYTHING, ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND USUALLY HAVE A FOUR WHEEL ATV ON THE BACK WHICH WEIGHS ABOUT 360 POUNDS WHICH IS LESS THAN TWO OF THREE PEOPLE OCCUPYING A CAB. THE VEHICLES ARE DRIVEN ON SOME FARM LANES AND GET SOME MUD ON THE WHEELS INFREQUENTLY BUT THEY SAID THIS CONTRIBUTES TO THE ROTORS OVERHEATING. PICKUP TRUCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DESIGNED FOR HEAVIER USE "CHEVY TOUGH IS THEIR ADVERTISING SLOGAN" AND THESE PICKUPS, DO NOT SEE MUCH HEAVY USE. WE FEEL THIS IS A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY HAZARD OF BRAKE FAILURE AND LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WELL AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES. WE LIVE IN A HILLY AREA WITH MANY STEEP ROADS AND WERE NEVER ADVISED THAT THE TRUCKS COULD NOT WITHSTAND THESE CONDITIONS. *TR

VISIBILITY
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. THE ISSUE IS A STRUCTURALLY DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD STARTED CRACKING UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE MOLDING AND HAS PROGRESSED TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND THE FACT THAT THE CRACK STARTED WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND ELSE ON THE ROAD. I WENT TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REVIEWED. THE SERVICE MANAGER SIMPLY GLANCED AT THE WINDSHIELD AND CONCLUDED THAT SOMETHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IT FACT THERE IS NOTHING TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT STATEMENT.. HE WENT ON TO SELL ME THE LINE THAT IF THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS THAT THE CRACK WOULD HAVE SHOWED UP BEFORE 7,500 MILES. AS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER I KNOW THAT THIS IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT STATEMENT AND NOTHING MORE THEN AN EXCUSE TO DO NOTHING. *TR

THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,000.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:TURN SIGNAL
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHENEVER THE IGNITION WAS STARTED, A SULFURIC EGG ODOR EXPELLED THROUGHOUT THE AIR VENTS. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER EXPERIENCED NAUSEA AND VOMITING DUE TO BEING EXPOSED TO THE ODOR. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TESTED FOR THE SYMPTOMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER ON FIFTEEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED THAT THE HIGH OX-FUEL MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,033. UPDATED 4/16/09 *CNN THE GAUGES WERE ACTING ERRATIC. THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM RATTLED, THE RIGHT AND LEFT BLINKERS DIDN'T WORK. UPDATED 04/21/09.*JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, DIESEL
DURING THE WINTER HERE IN NORTHERN OHIO I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A REDUCED POWER MODE IN MY CHEVY DIESEL POWERED TRUCK. IT HAS HAPPENED REPEATEDLY,ALMOST DAILY, AND ON FRIDAY, MAR 20TH, WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY THE TRUCK UNEXPECTEDLY WENT INTO THIS REDUCED POWER MODE TWICE AND DROPPED FROM 65 MPH TO LESS THAN 40 MPH, ALMOST CAUSING A CRASH BECAUSE OF THE SUDDEN DECELERATION IN ONE INSTANCE. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE NOW OVER THIS ISSUE, IN BOTH CASES THEY SAID IT WAS MY AFTERMARKET AIR INTAKE PRODUCT AND IT'S SUPPOSED FOULING OF A KEY ENGINE SENSOR, THE MAF SENSOR. THEY BLAMED OIL FROM THE AIR FILTER FOULING THE SENSOR, AND YET THE AIR FILTER WAS THERE AND THERE WAS NO SIGN OF OIL SEEPAGE OR FOULING OF THE SENSOR. SINCE THEN I HAVE, AT MY EXPENSE, REPLACED THE AIR INTAKE SYSTEM BACK TO FACTORY AND THE MAF SENSOR, AND ALL THAT WAS BEFORE FRIDAY WHEN I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMITRUCK. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE INTERNET, CONSULTED WITH TWO AFTERMARKET AIR INTAKE MANUFACTURERS AND HAVE DETERMINED THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT WHAT HAS BEEN BLAMED TO DATE BUT SOMETHING ELSE FAULTY ON MY TRUCK. EITHER IN THE WIRING HARNESS AFFECTING SENSOR OUTPUT OR A DIFFERENT SENSOR THAT WORKS IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ONE SENSOR THAT THE DTC SAYS IS AT FAULT. THERE HAS BEEN ISSUED TSB'S ON THIS ENGINE FAMILY RELATING TO MY ISSUE, GMC IS AWARE THAT THERE EXISTS AN ISSUE, AND YET I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR REPAIRS AND PARTS AND LABOR FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED THE FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY. THE DTC IS P0102, MAF SENSOR LOW INPUT, THE SENSOR I REPLACED LOOKS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE I PUT IN, NO SIGNS OF FOULING. I EVEN AT ONE POINT PURCHASED A MAF SENSOR CLEANER MADE BY CRC, USED IT ACCORDING TO DIRECTIONS AND STILL GOT THE DTC, THE REDUCED POWER MODE AND A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE TRUCK WILL RESUME NORMAL OPERATING AFTER 15 TO 20 MINUTES, BUT THEN WILL FAULT OUT AGAIN SOON AFTER OR ON THE NEXT RESTART. NO ISSUE LAST WINTER, EVEN W/ THE AFTERMARKET AIR SYSTEM. *TR

TIRES
RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT, WHEN WE WENT TO HAVE THEM REPLACED WE NOTICED A BUMP IN ALL FOUR TIRES, UPON CALLING GENERAL WE WERE TOLD TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO SEARS (AUTHORIZED DEALER) TO LOOK OVER THE TIRES, SEARS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A BELT SEPARATION IN ALL FOUR TIRES. WE WERE TOLD BY GENERAL TIRES THEY WOULD GIVE US A 60% REPLACEMENT ON ONE TIRE. WE THEN CALLED GENERAL MOTORS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM THEY TOLD US WE NEEDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. AFTER LEAVING THE TRUCK ALL DAY THE SERVICE MANAGER REPORTED THAT THE REPLACED TIRE WAS NOT AN ORIGINAL TIRE (IT WAS THE ONE WE HAD FIXED DUE TO BLOW OUT) AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE WARRANTED. AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX ANY OF THE TIRES. WE WERE TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE AT GENERAL MOTORS THAT THERE WERE OTHER REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. A SECOND REPRESENTATIVE DENIED THAT OTHER PROBLEMS HAS BEEN REPORTED. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN ALL FOUR TIRES. *TR

POWER TRAIN
I HAVE A VIBRATION ON MY PICKUP THAT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE SINCE IT WAS NEW, BUT IT GOT WORSE AND HAPPENS ALL THE TIME ON DEC 22, 2008. IT WOULD VIBRATE AROUND 65 MPH BUT NOT OFTEN SO I THOUGHT IT MAY BE ROAD CONDITIONS. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER UNDER WARRANTY FOR A TOTAL OF 8 DAYS ON 2 OCCASIONS. ON THE FIRST TIME THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT WAS THE SAME, I DO NOT BELIEVE THEY EVEN TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. THEY HAVE HAD IT FOR 4 DAYS THIS TIME AND CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT. *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
24 NOV 2008: BOUGHT NEW 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCK FROM LOCAL DEALER. DISCOVERED THAT THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES, BEING LOCATED BELOW THE ARM REST (AS OPPOSED TO BEING ABOVE THE ARM REST IN OUR TRADE-IN 2007 GMC PICKUP TRUCK) COULD NOT BE OPERATED WITHOUT EXTREME PAIN AND EFFORT BY MY WIFE WHO HAS CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME IN BOTH ARMS. 25 NOV 2008: ASKED THE DEALER TO TAKE THIS TRUCK BACK AND RETURN MY TRADE-IN TRUCK TO ME. DEALER REFUSED. CONTACTED MANUFACTURER. MANUFACTURER REFUSED. THIS DESIGN COULD TRAP MY WIFE INSIDE THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. OF SPECIAL CONCERN IS AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING A FIRE IN WHICH SHE WOULD NEED TO EXIT WITHOUT DELAY. I AM FORCED TO SELL THIS VEHICLE AT A GREAT LOSS AFTER DRIVING IT ONLY A FEW MILES DUE TO THIS SERIOUS DESIGN SAFETY DEFECT. *TR
