This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

While driving vehicle caught on fire. Investigation showed that fluid was overflowing out of the transfer case and traveling to the catalytic converter and exhaust system. The fluid overflowed to the hot manifold and exhaust system causing the fire. The consumer stated that the transmission was replaced and the seal that connects the transfer case was not replaced. The consumer stated that when the flammable liquid from the transmission went into the transfer case the seal gave way. The consumer stated that the placement of the vent tube over the hot exhaust is a dangerous design flaw and should be recalled due to fire hazard. The consumer stated the seal was replaced and she was overcharged. The consumer would like to be reimbursed for the cost of the repair. The consumer stated that if she does not hear the public address of this problem on the news she will take the issue to the news wire personally.
Egr valve & oxygen sensors problem the above mentioned items have been identified as a problem with these vehicles by dealer & private mechanics. A service bulletin was sent out in 1997 with a summary that provides if nothing else a temporary fix. I have spent several hundred dollars fixing this problem over the last 5 years and would like to have some type of reimbursement, preferably a recall to have it fixed permanently. I have viewed others comments on this vehicle and it is an overall problem. Seems like the manufacturer is not taking any responsibility. Since your questions below do not prvide room for explanation in the crash column, I would like to remind everyone that when these valves get clogged up the vehicle literally seizes. Just stops, nice thought! my personal mechanic has recommended that when the vehicle starts clugging (as it will), prior to seizing up & just stopping in the middle of the road, (as it has already done), bring it in, (we will clean it out). Who's fault will an accident be? that repair could be to the tune of $100 depending on if anything else was affected by this. This problem has been identified, and still nothing is done about it. Currently we are a two car family with 2 teenagers in the market. Chevrolet dealers will not be on my list to visit. For this problem you would need a reacurring incident date.
Egr valve replaced, oxygen sensor replaced, ignition coil replaced to no avail. On certain occasions engine check light comes on & there is a smell of gas. Truck acts like it will stall out.
Less than 1/4 tank vehicle stalls (numerous times) when stopping from speeds above 40 mph causing reduced steering and braking - fueal pump, filter O2 sensors and injectors replaced several times
