2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Complaints

VEHICLE LOW ON POWER AND WOULD SHUT DOWN AFTER A FULL STOP. TAKEN TO A AUTHORIZED REPAIR SHOP. FOUND THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR WERE A MESS. A TUNE UP WAS DONE, (AT MY COST $482.00). BECAUSE THIS IS CONSIDERED A TUNE UP NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. (?) MY TRUCK ONLY HAS JUST OVER 27,000 MILES ON IT. THE REPAIR SHOP THINKS IT WAS CAUSE BY THE A/C LINE RUNNING FROM ABOVE THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP. I HAVE THE OLD PARTS. *LA

WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO HAVE EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE ROTORS WERE RUSTED AND NEEDD TO BE TURNED. *AK

I PURCHASED A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 EXTENDED CAB FROM MY LOCAL DEALER (REGISTER CHERVROLET, BROOKSVILLE, FL) IN OCTOBER OF 2003. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE I WAS PRETTY MUCH LED INTO BUYING THE "EXTENDED WARRANTY" FOR MY TRUCK WHICH THEY SAID WOULD COVER ANYTHING THAT WAS TO HAPPEN, ALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY IS MY DEDUCTIBLE. IN JUNE OF 2004 AFTER DRIVING TO FT. MYERS TO VISIT FRIENDS, MY ENGINE STALLED, LOST OIL PRESSURE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF. NOT WANTING TO HARM THE ENGINE I BRAKED AND TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF. WITH ME WERE WITNESSES; MY MOM WHO IS A DISABLED, PARAPALYGIC, AND MY BROTHER AND SISTER. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET HELP LINE AND THEY HAD NO RECORD OF MY WARRANTY ON FILE AND WERE NOT WILLING TO HELP ME GET A TOW TRUCK THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED. I ENDED UP HAVING A FRIEND CALL AND GET MY VEHICLE TOWED THROUGH THEIR AAA TO MY HOME. I FINALLY ARRIVED HOME AT 1:30 AM! THE NEXT DAY I HAD IT TOWED TO REGISTER CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD LOOK AT IT AND LET ME KNOW. REMEMEBER, I WAS TOLD THAT ANYTHING WOULD BE COVERED SO I WAS AT EASE KNOWING IT WOULD BE FIXED AND I WOULDNT HAVE A HUGE BILL. BOY WAS I WRONG THERE. WHEN THEY FINALLY DID GET ALONG TO CALLING ME THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE $207. THEY SAID IT WASNT A WARRANTY ITEM AND SO THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE ME FOR TOWING AS WELL AS REPAIRS! OK, ALL THEY DID WAS RE-ROUTE THE AC RUN OFF, WHICH BECAUSE IT WAS DESIGNED POORLY HAD ROTTED THE DISTRIBUTOR CAP. THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD AND IT WAS WRITTEN ON THE BILL I GOT. IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME I AM SURE THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS, SO I EVEN IF IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THEIR WARRANTY I DO BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM. ALL I WANT IS THE DIFFERENCE BACK AS WELL AS THE TOWING CHARGES PAID. I HAVE ALL RECIEPTS FOR THIS MATTER. THANK YOU!*AK

WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH THE DRIVER ATTEMPTED TO AVOID A DEER IN THE STREET. AS A RESULT THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND HIT A TREE HEAD ON. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT,"NEITHER FRONTAL AIR BAG DID DEPLOYED ON IMPACT". THE CONSUMER WILL CONTACT THE DEALER. *NM

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE. CONSUMER PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND NOTICED THAT TAILGATE BROKE AND DROPPED ONTO THE BUMPER. *AK

DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS BURN OUT ALL THE TIME, AND I HAVE BEEN DOING A SURVEY ON OTHER LIKE TRUCKS, CHEV 2002 ,2003, AND 2004, FOR EVERY (10) I CHECK (7) HAVE A LIGHT OUT ON ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER UP FRONT UNDER THE HEADLIGHTS . *AK

2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO BRAKE EQUIPMENT.*MR THE CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACE THE EAR ROTORS, SHOES AND HARDWARE. THE REAR AXLE FLUID WAS LOW AND DISCOLORED. WHEN THE REAR AXLE WAS SERVICED IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FRONT AXLE VENT TUBE WAS LEAKING FROM THE ORING. THE AXLE VENT TUBE WAS REPLACED. *NM

MY 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXT CAB 4X4 TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A REPAIR COST OF $1400.00. IT HAD 42,800 MILES ON IT. FINAL WARRANTY WORK(36000 MILES) WAS DONE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. GENERAL MOTORS SAYS THEY WON'T HELP ME COVER REPAIR COSTS BECAUSE I TRADED THE VEHICLE FOR A NEW GMC (I NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN TROUBLE FREE FOR SURE FOR 100,000 MILES AND I WAS AFRAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN 40,000 MILES LATER. I TRIED TAKING GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE). WHETHER I KEPT THE VEHICLE OR NOT IS BESIDE THE POINT. I OWNED THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIRS AND EXPECTED SOME FINANCIAL HELP FROM GM. *LA

DRIVERS SEAT BELT BUCKLE FAILED. CAN NO LONGER LATCH HARNESS CLIP TO BUCKLE.*AK

VEHICLE EXPERIENCED BRAKE FAILURE, IN WHICH THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY WHEN THEY WERE DEPRESSED. THIS RESULTED IN EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED BECAUSE THE BRAKE ROTORS WARPED. THE ROTORS WERE RESURFACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN 15,000 MILES. *AK
