2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

CONSUMER STATES THAT GM HAS UPGRADED THE EXTENDED MIRROR FOR TOWING. GM HAS INFORMED CONSUMER THAT THE UPGRADE WAS IN FEB. OF 2002 AND THAT CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE TOO SOON FOR THE UPGRADE. *JG

THE OWNER PURCHASED AN OPTIONAL PACKAGE THAT RELATED TO THE EXTENDED TOW MIRRORS. ON THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK THE MIRRORS DO NOT COME WITH "FISH EYES" ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE OWNER WAS TOLD THAT HIS TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE UPGRADE FOR THE 2002 WHICH DOES PROVIDE FISH EYE ON BOTH SIDES. PLEASE DESCRIBE DETAILS. *MR

LOUD HARD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM ENGINE AT COLD START UP. THEN AFTER ENGINE IS WARMED UP AFTER DRIVING AND DECELERATION YOU CAN STILL HEAR THE KNOCKING NOISE, JUST NOT AS LOUD AS AT COLD START. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, AND ADVISED CHEVROLET WAS AWARE OF PROBLEM, AND DID NOT HAVE A SOLUTION. ADVISED BY DEALER IT WOULD NOT HURT ENGINE, BUT I DISAGREE, THE VERY HARD KNOCKING CAN NOT BE GOOD FOR THE VALVES, OR CRANKSHAFT, AND HAS TO BE CAUSING SOME SORT DAMAGE WITHIN THE ENGINE ITSELF.

WHILE TRAVELING AT 30MPH FRONT OF VEHICLE SUDDENLY COLLAPSED. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT MECHANISM THAT HOLDS TIRE FELL OFF.*AK *JB

STEERING WHEEL PREVENTS CONSUMER FROM SEEING FOG LIGHT BUTTON. THERE IS A DOME OVER RIDE BUTTON. ALSO, HEADLIGHTS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF PROBLEM. *AK
