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.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Rusted steel brake line burst leaking brake fluid and loss of brakes. Fortunately(?) this occurred when vehicle was parked as brake was applied to shift transmission out of "park". it could have resulted in a major collision. Upon inspection, all of the steel brake lines are badly corroded, and need to be replaced to safely operate the vehicle. 3 years ago, I had to replace corroded rotors due to corrosion as well. From what I have learned, this is an epidemic for GM trucks of this era. Is GM liable for these costly repairs?
Chevrolet Silverado was taken to dealer in March 2006 for 100K service. Dealer stated the fuel line is so badly rusted that he could not replace the fuel filter for fear of rupturing the gas line. When I suggested replacing the entire fuel line the estimate was $999.90 due to extensive labor cost.
Engine check light keeps coming on, then vehicle starts to lose power, this has happened while on highway, and it is very unsafe.. consumer stated the instrument panel is loose causing rattling noise from passenger side air bag area and top of instrumental panel, the third brake light is inoperative and drivers window power regulator failed causing noise, the fuel filter was replaced.
Engine light stays on;motor roars;in shop 5 times;replaced fuel injectors, fuel filter, fuel injectors again, replaced gaskets, O-rings, brake line, etc. Because they said there was water in gas tank causing the problem. Service engine lights stays on, motor still making noise, 200 miles from being out of warrenty. This problem has continued for 7,000 miles and going on 7 months. Cannot leave town in my new truck, cannot get withing 30 miles of home, stays parked in yard. This vehicle is a piece of made in the usa trash. Lemon?
