Problems with 2000 Chevrolet Silverado rotors, wheels, tailgate strap, drive shaft, and 4-wheel drive. Nar see ODI#10037613 ES03-006296. At 12000 miles both rear rotors had to be replaced, 2000 miles later both front rotors had to be replaced. A clunking sound was heard in the rear of the vehicle.

The tailgate strap broke at 17000 miles. When the four wheel drive was engaged there was a growling noise.

Problem #1 truck has a "vibration" since purchase date. Dealer checked the balance of the tires 4 times and found them out of balance, tires were then balanced and rotated. But the "vibration" still existed. Service manager stated that this was a problem I would have to live with. Manufacture states all trucks have "vibration. Problem #2 the rear door will not latch after being opened in freezing weather, the front door will not close completely as it latches to the rear door. The doors can be closed completely after the interior has been warmed up enough for the locks to thaw, about 5 miles of travel with the heater running.
