WE PURCHASED A 2000 SILVERADO 2500. THERE IS A KNOCKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP TO LOOK AT AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE ABOUT IT. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THE KNOCKING NOISE IN THE VORTEX 6.0 ENGINE. THEY TOLD US THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IT IS A COLD START OR IF IT RUNS ALL DAY.*AK

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:RETRACTOR, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE, SUSPENSION:FRONT:HUB
THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT FAILED (I GO BY MILEAGE TO KNOW IF I NEED FUEL OR NOT). DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT LOCKS UP WHEN YOU GO TO LOOK TO CHANGE LANES (DEALER COULDN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM--SO IT'S NEVER BEEN FIXED). PASSENGER SEAT BELT LOCKS UP IF YOU JUST LEAN FORWARD TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW (WAS TOLD THIS WAS A MECHANISM FOR A BABY SEAT--DIDN'T THINK CAR SEATS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FRONT SEAT). RIGHT SIDE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMP BURNED OUT A LONG TIME AGO. ABS MODULE FAILED (HAD TO PULL THE FUSE SO THE PUMP WOULDN'T BURN UP) THEREFORE THE TRUCK NO LONGER HAS ABS. DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT WHEEL HUB FAILED DUE TO LACK OF GREASE IN THE NON-CONSUMER MAINTAINABLE BEARING (THE WHOLE HUB HAD TO BE REPLACED). THE WATER PUMP HAS ALREADY FAILED (REPLACED THAT). THE TRANSMISSION IS STARTING TO SLIP HERE & THERE. THE ACCELERATOR STICKS CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO JAM ON IT IN PARKING LOTS & OTHER PLACES WHERE IT'S JUST NOT SAFE TO BE DARTING FORWARD. THIS MODEL YEAR WAS JUST A BAD YEAR FOR GM. THEY NEED TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. THIS IS THE WORST GM VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED (AND I'VE BEEN A LOYAL GM CUSTOMER ALL MY DRIVING YEARS). *AK

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE, EQUIPMENT
THE ABS BRAKES WERE USED FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS PAST WINTER SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE TRUCK. AFTER THEY CAME ON, THE PUMP NEVER SHUT OFF EVEN AFTER I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AT WORK. I HAD TO PULL THE ABS FUSE IN ORDER FOR THE HYDRAULIC PUMP TO SHUT DOWN. TWO CHEVROLET DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THAT I NEED A NEW COMPUTER COMPONENT (MODULE) AND PUMP THAT IS ONLY SOLD TOGETHER. THE COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR WILL BE OVER $1,000. AS OF NOW, THE ABS LIGHT AND PARKING BRAKE LIGHT ARE ON AND I DO NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO FIX THIS.
