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.
When stopping, brake pedal was down to the floor. ABS brakes locked up and vehicle slid before coming to a stop. Took vehicle to dealer who could not duplicate the problem. Dealer replaced leaking master cylinder and deglazed the rotors. Transmission experienced slipping, clunking and would not shift into 1st gear, dealer replaced transmission. Rear end is noisy, U-joints have been replaced, however noise reoccured, consumer states Chevrolet has a U-joint and bearing problem.
Rear end of the vehicle lost control when driven over bumps or potholes at any speed on any kind of road conditions. Dealer has been contatced for this problem, but has been unable to remedy the problem by raising and lowering tire pressure.
Transmission seemed to be in neutral after stopping and applying brake then accelerating. Dealer picked up with wrecker. When wrecker arrived, condition could not be duplicated. Dealer has valve body ordered to replace in transmission. Second problem: Rear leaf springs shift causeing a knock when going up uneven grades or speed bumps. Third problem: Looseness in transfer case and rear axle cause a clunk when downshifting to stop and sometimes when transmission shifts. Dealer claims normal. Large aluminum driveshaft transfer sound. Just excuse for poor quality product. This clunk or knock also sounds when rear axle moves on uneven grade with axle shifting and driveshaft stationary.
