2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

VEHICLE JUST TURNED TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND MILES AND NEEDED BRAKES AND ROTORS. WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS PULSATION, AND DIFFICULT STOPPING. TOOK VEHILCE TO THE DEALER. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE CONSUMER $800.00 FOR REPAIRS. *AK *TC

THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JB

THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS WOULD RUST/WEAR PREMATURELY. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES, BUT THE CONSUMER WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION. *JB....BRAKES MAKE ALL KINDS OF WEIRD NOISES AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SOUNDS LIKE METAL TO METAL. THREE REPLACEMENTS OF REAR DISC BRAKES.*AK

THE REAR-END IN MY 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS FAILED THREE TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE TRUCK NOW HAS ALMOST SIXTY THOUSAND MILES ON IT BUT THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURED AROUND 36,000. THE FIRST TWO REPAIRS WERE MADE AT CRANBERRY MOTORS IN MACHIAS MAINE. THE FIRST WAS MADE WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT THE SECOND REPAIR WAS NOT SO EASILY DELT WITH. AFTER MUCH DEBATE, IT WAS PAID FOR BY GM. NOW SOME NEARLY TWENTY THOUSAND MILES LATER, THE REAR-END WENT AGAIN. GM REFUSED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR AND AFTER ANOTHER RUN-AROUND I TOOK MY TRUCK ELSEWHERE. (TO A MECHANIC THAT I KNEW WAS RELIABLE AND WOULD CHARGE ME A FAIR PRICE.) THE REAR-END HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED FOR A THIRD TIME BUT I BELIEVE THAT THE STOCK REAR-END COMPONENTS ARE OVER-PRICED AND UNRELIABLE AND WOULD LIKE COMPENSATION FOR THE MOST RECENT REPAIRS, BUT I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE A FIGHT ALL THE WAY.*AK

WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE. PLEASE PROVIDE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. *JB

WHEN VEHICLE WAS ABOUT A YEAR OLD, TOLD THE DEALER THE PARK BRAKE GOES TO FLOOR AND HOLDS VERY LITTLE. DEALER SAID THIS IS NORMAL. AFTER A FEW MONTHS THE PARK BRAKE LOST ALL EFFECTIVENESS. LAST WEEK WHILE USING THE VEHICLE TO LAUNCH A BOAT, THE VEHICLE SLIPPED BACK AS ONE WHEEL LOST TRACTION AND THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE BOAT AND VEHICLE FROM MOVING WAS THE TRANSMISSION PARK. BECAUSE OF THIS INCIDENT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER. A DEFECTIVE "CLIP" HAD ALLOWED THE BRAKE FRICTION MATERIAL TO RUB THE BRAKE DRUM SURFACE AND WEAR TO THE POINT OF BEING TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE.MANY OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE THE DEFECT AND THE OPERATORS DO NOT KNOW THAT THEY NO LONGER HAVE A WORKING PARK BRAKE. GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN WITH INFORMATION ABOUT A FIX BEING AVAILABLE BUT THE OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE OF IT. THE DEALER CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $200.00 TO REPLACE THE COMPONENTS DUE TO THEIR VIEW THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED.*AK
