SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
I OWN A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND HAVE A PULSATING ACTION IN MY ABS BRAKES WHEN COMING TO STOPS AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ALL FOUR BRAKES AND ROTORS AND IT DID NOT CHANGE THE PROBLEM. I ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA AND SAW ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME VEHICLES A LITTLE OLDER THAN MINE BUT NOT MY YEAR OF VEHICLE. I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS ALL OF THESE OTHER PEOPLE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2004 CHEVY ENVOY HAS A CRACK IN THE NECK OF THE FUEL TANK. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT WAS ON LAST YEAR AND I TOOK IT TO THOMAS CHEVROLET IN WEST CHESTER, PA WHO REPLACED THE GAS CAP. THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND I OUT OF FRUSTRATION I WAITED UNTIL MY INSPECTION CHECK TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. UPON TAKING IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC RECENTLY THEY REPLACED A SOLENOID WHICH MADE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GO OFF. HOWEVER WITHIN A WEEK IT CAME BACK ON. TODAY I WAS TOLD OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK AFTER THEY PERFORMED MORE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A PROBLEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER (GM) AND ALSO POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. FUEL CAN BE SMELLED WHEN STANDING OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY RISK THIS COULD POSE IF THIS IS A PROBLEM NOTED IN OTHER VEHICLES. MY ON-LINE RESEARCH INDICATES THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER HAD ISSUES WITH FUEL TANK CRACKS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I COULD HAVE DONE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM OR EVEN CAUSE IT, THEREFORE I WOULD EXPECT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

STEERING
I BOUGHT A NEW 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB. SINCE BUYING THIS TRUCK, I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT TROUBLE WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP. IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN LEFT UNDER 15 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND GOTTEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS EVERY TIME. THE ONLY THING THE MECHANICS AGREE ON IS THAT CHEVY KNOWS ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT IS UNSURE HOW TO FIX IT. MY PRIMARY CONCERN IS THE STEERING IS LOCKING UP EVERY TIME YOU TURN LEFT. CURRENTLY, IT IS ONLY HAPPENING AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT I'M WORRIED IT WILL BEGIN TO HAPPEN AT FASTER SPEEDS. I USE THIS TRUCK AS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE PLUS I HAVE THREE YOUNG CHILDREN WHO ARE ALWAYS WITH ME. THIS TRUCK IS ALSO USED TO HAUL OUR BOAT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
'04 CHEVROLET K1500 - THROTTLE BODY SENSOR THE ISSUE IS THAT THE TRUCK KEEPS COMING IN AND OUT OF "REDUCED POWER MODE" WHICH WHEN IT IS IN THIS MODE IT IS VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHICH IN TURN IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS. IN '07 I HAD THE CONNECTIONS CLEANED AND REPAIRED (UNDER WARRANTY), ON JULY 7TH OF '08 I HAD THE WHOLE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR REPLACED (OUT OF WARRANTY), AND IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN ON JUNE 25TH OF THIS YEAR. I QUALIFIED FOR THE 12 MONTH REPAIR WARRANTY, BUT HAD DRIVEN OVER 12,000 MILES. OUT OF THE BLUE MY TRUCK GOES INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. I PULL OVER AND BASICALLY RESTART THE TRUCK A FEW TIMES AND APPARENTLY THE COMPUTER RESETS AND EXITS THE MODE. THIS WORKED FOR THE FIRST WEEK BUT NOW IT HAS TO SIT OVERNIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A DAY OR SO, BUT THEN WILL CLEAR. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE DEALERSHIPS FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND NO ONE CAN PUT THEIR FINGER ON THE SPECIFIC PROBLEM. THE MOST CURRENT ONE HAS TOLD ME HE COULD REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR, BUT CAN'T GUARANTEE THAT WILL FIX IT. HE HAS THREE MORE '04 CHEVYS COMING IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO TELL ME IS SHOWN BELOW, BUT STILL HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. "SCAN REVEALED 2 P2135- THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS 1-2 CORRELATION. " USING YOUR SITE I HAVE FOUND THE FOLLOWING SERVICE BULLETIN: 060604026 (NHTSA ITEM NUMBER : 10020835). I DON'T MIND SPENDING THE MONEY FOR THE REPAIR, I JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT I NEED FIXED. I'M WORRIED ABOUT PULLING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THEN LOOSING POWER AND CAUSING A WRECK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
DEFECTIVE BRAKES ON 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB. AT JUST OVER 50,000 MILES I HAD TO HAVE ALL FOUR ROTORS AND PADS REPLACE BECAUSE THE ROTORS WERE RUSTING BECAUSE OF BAD METAL(RUSTING FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND PITTING), AND NOW AT 79000 I AM GETTING A SHAKING AND VIBRATING (PROBABLY FROM THE ABS) AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

ALL FRONT END COMPONENTS WERE VERIFIED TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION WITH NO PLAY. CLUNKING IS BELIEVED TO BE COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
FIRST MY BRAND NEW 2004 SILVERADO'S DRIVE SHAFT FLEW OUT ON THE FREEWAY AT 15,000 MI. THAT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THEN AT ABOUT 28,000 MI. MY REAR END GEARS WERE MAKING WHINING NOISES EVER SINCE THE DRIVE SHAFT FLEW OUT AND I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES BEFORE THEY FINALLY TORE IT APART AND REALIZED THE GEARS WERE DAMAGED AND THEY REPLACED THAT UNDER WARRANTY. THEN AT 65,000 MI. ON MY TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING REALLY BAD SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND THAT A FEW GEARS WERE BURNED UP SO GM AND I SPLIT THAT BILL 50/50 TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. NOW I FIND MYSELF IN THE SAME SITUATION AT 85,000 MI. ON MY TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION IT BROKEN AGAIN AND WONT EVEN WORK. THE TRUCK IS AT THE DEALER AND GM AND THE DEALERSHIP DON'T WANT TO WARRANTY ANYTHING ON IT AND WANT TO OFFER ME $2000.00 CASH BACK TO BUY A GM CAR WHICH AT THIS POINT I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH. CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW AND IM WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM GM. THIS IS THE FOURTH TIME MY TRUCK HAS BROKEN IN THE DRIVETRAIN AREA SINCE NEW. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
THIS IS HOW IT STARTED.. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD. AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD THE DOORS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK ON THEIR OWN, AND THE TRUCK WOULD LOSE RPM'S AND WOULD ACT AS IF THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED ITSELF. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD BLINK WITH THE LOCKING AND UNLOCKING OF THE DOORS. DID THIS OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES AS WE BABIED IT HOME. GOT IT HOME IN THE DRIVEWAY AND IT THREW 2 CODES CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HIGH VOLTS AND LOW VOLTS. SO WE REPLACED THE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR. TRUCK DROVE FINE FOR 4 DAYS. HOWEVER ON THE 5TH DAY WE ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK AND AS WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THIS TIME THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON AND DOORS STARTED LOCKING AND UNLOCKING AGAIN ON THEIR OWN AS WELL AS THE DIC READ SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, WE WERE ABLE TO PULL OVER INTO A PARKING LOT AND TRUCK RESTARTED LONG ENOUGH TO GET HOME. AT THIS POINT THE GM DEALER WASN'T SURE OF THIS PROBLEM AND WHAT CAUSES IT BUT STATED TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY AND RESET THE COMPUTER(AFTER SPEAKING TO 4 DIFFERENT GM DEALERS MIND YOU). WOW LOW AND BEHOLD FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 45 MINUTES, AS WE AGAIN TRIED TO SEE HOW FAR WE COULD MAKE IT BEFORE IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. ONLY THIS TIME DOORS WOULD LOCK AND UNLOCK AND ALL KINDS OF WEIRD THINGS WERE GOING ON, FOR EXAMPLE DOORS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, TRUCK STALLING AND RESTARTING, IDOL WAS RUFF AND NOISY, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON, AND THE DIC READ THIS TIME REDUCED ENGINE POWER!! AND AT THIS POINT WE WERE ONLY ABLE TO GO 15 MILES AN HOUR AND THANKFULLY WE WERE ON A ROAD WITH NO TRAFFIC AND WERE ABOUT 2 MILES FROM OUR HOME. ALSO IN THE MIST OF ALL OF THIS THE TRUCK WAS CHIMING AND THE TRUCK THOUGHT IT DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES AT THIS POINT THANKFULLY WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK FOR LESS THAN 1 YR AND IT ONLY HAS 82,000 ON IT AND NOONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO TELL US WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
IN OCT.2008 I BROUGHT MY 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD TO POUGHKEEPSIE CHEVROLET IN POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. FOR AN OIL AND FILTER CHANGE AND N.Y. STATE INSPECTION. WHILE WAITING FOR THE WORK TO BE COMPLETED I WAS ASK TO COME AND LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS ON THE LIFT. I WAS SHOWN THE FOUR BRAKE ROTORS (STILL ON THE VEHICLE). THE INSIDES OF THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE EXTREMELY DAMAGED WITH RUST, WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. WHEN I EXPRESSED MY DISMAY AND DISGUST (THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 28.5K MILES ON IT) I WAS TOLD THIS HAD OCCURRED "BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WASN'T DRIVEN ENOUGH AND WE LIVE IN THE RUST BELT". ANYWAY I AUTHORIZED THE WORK TO BE DONE, I NEEDED THE N.Y. STATE INSPECTION AND IT WAS OBVIOUS THE BRAKES WERE UNSAFE. AFTER DWELLING ON THIS, I DECIDED TO DO SOME RESEARCH AND CAME TO FIND THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEMS IN MANY GM LIGHT TRUCKS HAVE BEEN PROBLEMATIC FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND GIVEN SIMILAR RESPONSES VARYING SLIGHTLY TO FIT GM'S NEEDS TO MASK THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM, THE MAJORITY BEING RUST AND CORROSION. IT IS OBVIOUS GM REMAINS IN DENIAL OF THIS DEFECT AND REFUSES TO CORRECT OR REIMBURSE FOR REPLACEMENT. MY FIRST REGRET IS ALLOWING GM TO DO THE WORK. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, PREVIOUS VICTIMS THAT REPLACED THEIR ROTORS WITH GM PRODUCTS HAD THE SAME SUBSEQUENT RESULT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT BEEN SUED. I WILL NEVER BUY A NEW GM VEHICLE AGAIN. IT IS NO WONDER THEY ARE GOING BANKRUPT. THEIR PROBLEM IS NOT THE PAY AND BENEFITS THEY GIVE THEIR WORKERS, IT IS WHERE THEY CUT CORNERS IN THEIR PRODUCT (CHEAP MATERIAL & OUTSOURCING) TO LINE THEIR CEO GREEDY POCKETS. THEY COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THE PUBLIC SAFETY. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A 2004 CHEVY SILVERADO BRING NEW FROM COMMONWEALTH MOTORS AND NOW HAVE 85,000 AND THE SPEEDOMETER IS REGISTERING FROM 60 MPH TO 120 MPH. IT'S FLOATING ALL OVER THE PLACE. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. IT'S SO DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING HOW FAST YOU ARE GOING. HOW CAN A 2004 VEHICLE HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I AM FINDING OUT THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINT PERTAINING TO THIS OUT THERE. GM HAS DECIDED TO EXTEND SOME KIND OF WARRANTY FOR UP TO 80,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD THIS FROM THE SERVICE DEPT AT COMMONWEALTH MOTORS, BUT HE WOULD ABSOLUTELY NOT REPAIR OR REPLACE ANYTHING BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE. HE COMPARED IT TO TAKING OUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND SOMETHING HAPPENING THE DAY AFTER IT EXPIRED. YOU CAN'T KILL YOURSELF IN YOUR REFRIGERATOR WHEN YOUR NOT SURE HOW FAST YOUR DRIVING. I HAD RECEIVED A LETTER APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS AGO STATING YOUR VEHICLE MAY LATER HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT (IN BOLD LETTERS) DO NOT TAKE YOUR VEHICLE TO YOUR GM DEALER AS A RESULT OF THIS LETTER UNLESS YOU BELIEVE THAT YOUR VEHICLE HAS THIS CONDITION. WHY DIDN'T I HAVE THE OPTION TO CHANGE IT FOR PREVENTABLE MEASURES. NO. THEY WANTED ME TO WAIT AND MAYBE I WOULD GO OVER THEIR MILEAGE WHEN IT DID GO DEFECTIVE. THEN THEY CAN SAY "I'M SORRY, TOO LATE." GM IS ADMITTING THEY HAVE INSTALLED DEFECTIVE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER AND IN A 2004 VEHICLE, THEY SHOULD BE REPLACING IT. I DON'T HAVE 200,000 MILES, I ONLY HAVE 85,000. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE CONCERNING THIS MATTER. *TR
