PARKING BRAKE, VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BACK UP LIGHTS
PARKING BRAKE STICKS: I BOUGHT VEHICLE AUGUST 2000. WAS CALLED TO ACTIVE DUTY AND DEPLOYED WITH MILITARY FOR 1 YEAR BEGINNING JANUARY 2003. YES, THAT'S LESS THAN THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY. MY WIFE USED THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY AND I HAVE 31,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND UPON RETURNING, THE PARKING BRAKE STICKS. I HAVE BURNT OUT 2 SETS OR REAR PADS AND ROTORS. ADDITIONALLY, THE SLOW AND INTERMITTENT PORTION OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPER STOPPED WORKING AND THE REVERSE/BACKUP LIGHTS DON'T WORK. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND GM AND THEY BOTH TOLD ME "TOO BAD." *JB

STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
IN REGARD TO THE GM TAILGATE INVESTIGATION I EXPERIENCED A FAILURE IN THE CABLE ON THE LEFT SIDE, 2000 2500 SILVERADO. THERE WAS A MINOR ABRASION TO THE PLASTIC COATING APPROXIMATELY MIDWAY BETWEEN THE ANCHOR POINTS. ROAD SALT APPEARS TO HAVE PENETRATED TO THE WIRES THAT COMPRISED THE CABLE AND CORRODED THEM TO THE FAILURE POINT. CABLE BROKE WHILE LOADING A LAWN TRACTOR <> 700 POUNDS. NO OTHER DAMAGE, NO INJURIES, RIGHT SIDE CABLE HELD THE LOAD AFTER LEFT SIDE FAILURE. NO INDICATION OF PROBLEM PRIOR TO BREAKAGE. INCIDENT DATE IS ESTIMATED. THANKS . *AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
I OWN A 2000 5.3 VORTEX V8 IN MY CHEVROLET AND THE ENGINE MAKES HORRIBLE NOISE WHEN ITS COLD, REFERRED TO AS SLAPPING OF THE PISTON SLEEVE. WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS IF ANYTHING. SEEMS LIKE AN ON GOING PROBLEM FOR MANY GM OWNERS AND SOMETHING THAT IS ONLY RESOLVED ONCE A BIG STINK IS MADE OF IT BEFORE ANY POSSIBLE ACTION IS DONE. I REALLY LOVE MY TRUCK BUT, THIS IN CONJUNTION WITH THE NOISE I GET IN COLD WEATHER GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR UNLEVELED SURFACES IN THE SHOCK OR THE FRAME. I HAD ALL KINDS OF PARTS REPLACED AND IT STILL COMES BACK IN COLD WEATHER, ALONG WITH THE KNOCKING NOISE ON COLD STARTS. ANY ADVISE OUT THERE FOR A RESOLUTION? THANKS NHALL. *AK

WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY BRAKES AND STEERING SIMULTANEOUSLY FAILED. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE USED TO STOP THE TRUCK. THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE STEERING SHAFT BREAKING.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
REAR PASSENGER DOORTS ON CHEVY SILVERADO EXTENED CAB DO NOT LOCK COMPLETELY IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 30 DEGREES UNTIL HEAT IS DISTRIBUTED IN THE CAB. HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET AN EXPLANATION FROM ANY GENERAL MOTORS EXPERTS OR RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. I CONTEND THAT IT OCCURS BECAUSE BOTH THE TOP & BOTTOM LATCH'S ARE MADE OF PLASTIC/PVC MATERIAL WHICH PRESENTS A POTEIAL SAFETY HAZARD IF WEIGHT IS APPLIED AGAINST THE DOORS, HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ETC. THE INDIACATED DATE BELOW IS ONLY ONE OF SEVERAL DAYS SINCE 2000. *AK
