ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I CURRENTLY DRIVE A 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD WITH AN 8.1L ENGINE. I'VE NOW TAKEN MY TRUCK INTO FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR THE SAME ISSUE. MY TRUCK WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I'VE HAD IT SHUT OFF AT STOPLIGHTS, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, DRIVING AROUND TOWN, AND EVERYTHING IN-BETWEEN. OCCASIONALLY, IT WON'T EVEN START. IT SOUNDS LIKE IT WANTS TO TURN OVER BUT TO NO AVAIL. AND WHEN IT STOPS, IT TAKES ABOUT 5 MINUTES TO FINALLY GET IT RESTARTED AND DRIVING AGAIN. OF COURSE, NO MECHANIC CAN EVER FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG SINCE IT WON'T ACT UP IN THE SHOP. I'VE HAD THEM TELL ME IT COULD BE A HOST OF THINGS FROM AIR PROBLEMS TO FUEL LINE PROBLEMS TO ELECTRICAL ISSUES. NO ONE CAN GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER. I'VE EVEN HAD ONE MECHANIC DROP MY FUEL TANK TO INSPECT THE PUMP TO SEE IF IT'S THE PROBLEM. EVEN THEN, NOTHING ACTED UP. THERE NOW IS A CODE SHOWING UP SAYING MY CRANK SENSOR IS FAULTY. ALMOST EVERY MECHANIC IS CONVINCED IT'S MY FUEL PUMP BUT I HAVE GREAT PRESSURE IN THE LINES. I'VE NOTICED SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH MY SAME YEAR AND ENGINE HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. AS WELL, I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE CRANK SENSORS ON 2001 MODELS BUT NOT 2002 MODELS. WHY IS THIS? I THINK THERE'S JUST AS MANY ISSUES IN THAT YEAR AS THERE ARE IN FOLLOWING YEARS. THIS ISSUE CAN BE A REAL PROBLEM IF I LOSE POWER STEERING AND WRECK DUE TO THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF! HOW IS THIS NOT A RECALL FOR 2002 AND YET A RECALL FOR 2001? I HAVE YET TO SEE A SES LIGHT GO ON FOR THIS ISSUE. I'VE GOT JUST OVER 100,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK. PLEASE TELL ME THAT THIS WILL BE A RECALL OR AT LEAST THIS IS THE ISSUE SURROUNDING MY PROBLEMS! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
WAS NOTIFIED OF THE BRAKES, ABS INADVERTENT ACTIVATION RECALL. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AND NO ISSUES WERE FOUND RELATING TO THE RECALL. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER THE EXACT SYMPTOM DESCRIBED BY THE RECALL WAS HAPPENING. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE RECALL WAS CLEARLY THE CAUSE. THE ABS ACTIVATES UNDER 8 MPH AND WHEN CRAWLING VERY SLOWLY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. I REMOVED THE ABS FUSE TO AVOID LOW SPEED CRASH. HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED TO DATE. *TR

STEERING
VEHICLE BEGAN MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE THAT COULD BE FELT WITHIN THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEERING COLUMN. EVENTUALLY BECAME A RATTLE SO BAD THAT IT WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO INFORMED US THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM. #00-02-35-003C. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. IT WAS STATED ON THE N/C INVOICE THAT THE SOLUTION WAS 'REPACK STEERING SHAFT WITH GREASE KIT' PART #26098419, VEHICLE HAD 6,941 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. VEHICLE WAS FINE FOR SOME TIME, BUT BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME ISSUE AGAIN. LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS CALLED AND WE WERE INFORMED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THAT COULD BE DONE. VEHICLE NOW HAS JUST OVER 20,000 MILES AND IS STILL MAKING THIS NOISE AND THE FEELING IN THE STEERING COLUMN IS VERY BAD. FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS GOING TO FALL APART AT ANY MOMENT. WE HAVE RECEIVED NO FURTHER INFORMATION REGARDING THIS SITUATION AND WILL NOW TRY TO CONTACT GM TO FIND OUT IF A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN FOUND. IT ACTUALLY FEELS 'DANGEROUS', LIKE THE STEERING IS NOT 'SURE' AND VERY LOOSE AND SLOPPY. WE HAD A FRONT END ALIGNMENT PERFORMED JUST A MONTH AGO BUT THAT DID NOT IMPROVE THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY IT IS THE STEERING SHAFT PROBLEM AGAIN. I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED TO FIND OUT IF INDEED THERE IS NO SAFETY RISK. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ABS RECALL FOR 2002 CHEVY PICKUPS ISSUED IN SEP 2005. ISSUE WAS WHILE I WAS IN SLOW MOVING 3 TO 5 MPH ABS SYSTEM WOULD ACTIVATE AND CAN CAUSE A POTENTIAL CRASH. RECALL WAS TO PERFORM A INSPECTION OF THE ABS SYSTEM. CLEAN AND APPLY A RUST PREVENTIVE AND CONFIRM SENSOR WAS RECEIVING PROPER SIGNAL. MY PICKUP WAS SERVICED AT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER 2005. THIS PICKUP WAS NOT HAVING ANY ISSUES WITH ABS SYSTEM AT THAT TIME OF SERVICE. THE DEALERSHIP CHANGE OUT THE PASSENGER SIDE SENSOR (DUE TO RUST) AND PERFORMED THE REQUIRED MAINTENANCE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. NOW 36,000 MILES LATER I ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS IN THE SAME DAY DUE TO THE ABS SYSTEM ACTIVATION WHILE STOPPING IN SLOW SPEED. (I CAN DETAIL THE POTENTIAL ACCIDENT LATER) THE ABS WAS ONLY COMING ON AT RANDOM AND NOT ALL THE TIME. I FOUND OUT FROM THE DEALERSHIP AND G.M. ONCE THE PICKUP WAS SERVICE THE RECALL HAD BEEN TAKEN CARE ANY OTHER ISSUES IF UP TO THE OWNER TO TAKE CARE OF. MY COMPLAINT IS IN JUST CLEANING AND PUTTING RUST PREVENTIVE IN PLACE IS NOT A LONG TERM FIX BUT ONLY TEMPORARY FIX AND THE SAFETY ISSUE STILL EXIST IN THE SALT BELT STATES. THE TEST METHOD IS TO HOOKING THE SYSTEM UP TO A DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION. THIS TEST SHOWED THE SENSOR WAS DROPPING OFF AT A LOW RPM AND CAUSING THE ABS TO ACTIVE. THE ISSUE CAN BE CAUSED BY RUST COATING THE SENSOR FACE OR THE RECEIVER FACE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS PLANNING TO CHANGE THE SENSOR BEFORE EVEN TESTING TO BE DEFECTIVE. BECAUSE IT IS LIKELY THE SENSOR WILL BE DAMAGED IN THE REMOVAL PROCESS. MY POINT IS, THIS CAN AND WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND IS A HIGH RISK TO DAMAGE. PROPERTY, PERSONS. IN THIS CASE THE RECALL FIX ONLY LASTED 36,000 MILES. I ONLY HAVE 86,000 MILE TOTAL ON THIS PICKUP. MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILIES ARE AT RISK WITH OUT A PERMANANT FIX TO THIS ABS SYSTEM. IS A ONE TIME RECALL FIX THE NORMAL WITH OEM'S ON RECALL EVEN THOUGHT THE FIX DID NOT FULLY FIX THE RECALL ISSUE? PLEASE REVIEW AND GET BACK WITH ME. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ABS BRAKES ENGAGE AT SLOW SPEEDS (UNDER 10MPH) WHILE COMING TO A STOP. WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKE THE ABS ACTIVATES AND THE VEHICLE LUNGES FORWARD A FEW FEET UNTIL THE NORMAL BRAKING ACTIVATES. THIS EXACT COMPLAINT WAS ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET ON SAFETY RECALL BULLETIN 05058C AND THIS REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE BACK IN 2005. THE DESIGN OF THE HUB ALLOWS THE RELUCTOR WHEEL TO RUST WHICH IN TURN DOESN'T ALLOW THE SPEED SENSOR TO ACHIEVE A CORRECT READING AND HAS CREATED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS ADDRESSED IN THE ORIGINAL SAFETY RECALL. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS
SILVERADO 2500 HD V8 BRAKE & ROTOR REPLACEMENT 37,800 MILES WE PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HD 4 X 4 FROM FITZGERALD AUTO MALL. THE TRUCK WAS PAMPERED, NO ROUGH OFF ROAD EXCURSIONS, EVEN KEPT IT IN THE GARAGE. WITH ONLY 37,800 MILES WE WERE LITERALLY SHOCKED TO DISCOVER ALL FOUR ROTORS NOT ONLY HAD SIGNIFICANT RUST BUT METAL WAS ACTUALLY CHIPPING, FLAKING, AND CRUMBLING FROM THE ROTORS. ALL FOUR ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE BRAKE PADS. THE PADS HAD WORN BUT NOT [REPEAT NOT] DOWN TO THE "WEAR SENSORS" AND WERE REPLACED FOR SAFETY REASONS. THE COST FOR THE REPAIR WAS $1,150.00. WE HAVE OTHER VEHICLES "NONE OF THEM MANUFACTURED BY GM" AND NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF WEAR OR DAMAGE TO ROTORS. THE ONLY SAFETY RECALL WE WERE ADVISED OF AFFECTED THE TAILGATE CABLES. THE TAILGATE CABLES PREMATURELY CORRODED AND FAILED. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION SHOULD BE ALERTED AS THIS POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK FOR ANYONE WHO UNWITTINGLY EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM. LEFT UNDETECTED THESE ROTORS WOULD HAVE FAILED CAUSING AN ABSOLUTE AND SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING CAPACITY. IF FORD MOTOR COMPANY HAD TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECALLING MILLIONS OF UNSAFE FIRESTONE TIRES - WHY HASN'T THIS PROBLEM BEEN ADDRESSED BY GM? *TR

ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AT ABOUT 11:30 AM ON TUESDAY JULY 28, 2009, I STOPPED AT A LIGHT. THE TRUCK CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SUDDENLY I FELT THE ABS KICK IN. THE TRUCK WENT FORWARD, WITHOUT MY TAKING MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE, INTO THE INTERSECTION. IT FINALLY CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. A CAR HAD TO SERVE TO AVOID HITTING ME. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK. THERE WAS ONE ON THE 1999 SILVERADO FOR ABS FAILURE. *TR

2002 CHEVROLET 2500HD PICKUP TRUCK. WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK, BOTH STEEL BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED CAUSING TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO DUNLAP-JOHNSON CHEVROLET CO.,INC. 919 E LIBERTY ST , YORK, SC 29745-2689 (803) 792-4152. CHEVROLET WAS CALLED AT 1-800-222-1020 AND CASE # 71-742-720900 WAS OPENED. I WAS CONTACTED ON JULY 21 BY CAROLINE LUCERO FROM CHEVROLET WHO STATED THAT THE BRAKE LINES FAILED BECAUSE OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS IN THE NE UNITED STATES. HAVING BRAKE LINES THAT CAN FAIL WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOORBOARD WHILE PROVIDING NO STOPPING EFFORT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED IN THIS INSTANCE; HOWEVER I SUSPECT THAT THE BRAKE LINE FAILURE IS PREMATURE BASED ON THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE AND POSSIBLY CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE MATERIALS. I AM SAVING THE BRAKE LINES IN CASE THEY ARE WANTED FOR TESTING OR INSPECTION. *TR
