2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

MY TIRE TREAD CAME COMPLETELY OFF AS I WAS GOING 70MPH ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE YESTERDAY, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT, AND RIPPED MY WHOLE PLASTIC DUST PROTECTOR, (NOT SURE OF PROPER NAME) OFF. TIRES ARE FIRESTONE STEELEX AT LT 245/75/R16 WHICH HAD 40,000MILES, BUT SHOWED VERY LITTLE WEAR. AAA CAME AND GOT ME ON THE ROAD AGAIN, BUT WAS REALLY A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THESE TIRES? THESE WERE THE ORIGINAL TIRES ON MY CHEVY SILVERADO WHICH I BOUGHT NEW, AND HAVE MAINTAINED FAITHFULLY. *TR

FUEL LEAK - FUEL CONSUMPTION - LACK OF POWER - SMOKING - HARD TO START - NO ACCELERATING POWER. I HAVE SINCE STARTED SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND COME TO FIND OUT THAT THERE HAS BEEN MULTIPLE ENGINE RECALLS IN MY SAME CLASS FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURING COMPANY, HOWEVER MY VIN# HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET. I HAVE LODGED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND HAVE ADDRESSED MY CONCERNS DIRECTLY WITH GM HOWEVER THEY HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BEFORE IT HURTS OR KILLS SOMEONE. *TR

2002 SILVERADO K2500HD, ANTILOCK BRAKES ENGAGE UNDER 15 MPH. HAVE DONE THIS EVERYTIME I STOPPED SINCE I BOUGHT IT 1/11/08. I AM TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY TRUCK, JUST THE 1500 SILVERADO. TRUCK IS DOING THE SAME THING AS THE RECALL FOR THE SMALLER TRUCK. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS SUDDNLY WHILE DRIVING. NO DEFINITE PATTERN TO THE STALLING. STALLS AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR ABOUT THE LAST YEAR TO YEAR AND A HALF. WILL PULL OVER, WAIT ANYWHERE BETWEEN 5-20MIN AND THE VEHICLE WIL START AGAIN. *TR

JUST REGARDING GM RECALL NO. 06083 ALL 2001 SILVERADO @500/3500 HD MODELS WITH THE 8.1L GAS ENGINES: ALL THE CRANKSHAFT SENSORS ARE TO BE RECALLED IN THAT YEAR ONLY WHEN THE PROBLEM EXIST IN ALL 8.1L ENGINES UP TO 2006. I HAD A 900 DOLLAR BILL FROM A DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND FIX THIS PROBLEM AND THEN THE PROBLEM WASN'T EVEN SOLVED. I BOUGHT THE PART MYSELF AND INSTALLED IT MYSELF. I FEEL THAT ALL YEARS SHOULD BE RECALLED. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE ENGINE WOULD FAIL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD A HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THANKS *TR
