This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Egr valve replaced, oxygen sensor replaced, ignition coil replaced to no avail. On certain occasions engine check light comes on & there is a smell of gas. Truck acts like it will stall out.
Vehicle stalls while in traffic. Engine check light comes on. Mechanic said it was the egr valve that was known to be defective. Defective part only guaranteed for up to 75000 miles, so GM will not pay for defective part to be replaced.
Received a manufacturer's. extended warranty # C98O66 on exhaust valve: Linear exhaust gas recirculation valve may stick, causing engine stalling. Extened warrant for 7 yrs. / 70,000 miles. Problm occured at 81,000 miles, and dealer / manufacturer, both refused to honor notice. Seeking help from NHTSA in this matter or provide additional information.
There is an anti-freeze leak. Also, freeze plugs on engine block had to be replaced, battery died out/vehicle wouldn't start, and egr valve had to be replaced. Dealer says they can't find anything wrong. Problems started with the egr valve.
The ABS light keeps coming on. Had 3 different dealers check & nothing was found. The 4th dealer located problem as ECU malfunctioned. ABS system & egr valve needed to be replaced. The brakes were replaced before, but problem still exists.
The front brake pads and rotors are prematurely wearing and have to be changed every six months due malfunction with in the brake system. Also, consumer has a concern with the egr valve with has been replaced five times, cause unknown.
Failed fuel pump replaced, fuel filter replaced, vehicle is still extremely difficult to start. Egr failed causing rough running and stalling. Spark plugs failed causing rough running and stalling. High pressure oil hose failed causing potential loss of engine oil. Left door remote lock failed causing door to remain locked when remote unlock is attempted. Crankshaft rear main seal was replaced under warranty but still leaks.
Vehicle experienced failure of the egr valve which stuck causing rough idle, replacement stuck also, manufacturer has a special warranty for component failure. Mjs
In February 1999 I received a letter from Chevrolet stating that they are aware of the engine problem causing the egr valve to "stick(s), or foreign material holds the valve open or closed." I received this letter after my third replacement of the egr valve. They are not recalling the vehicle, but merely providing a warranty for the egr valve replacement up to 7 yrs./75000 miles. This does not fixed the actual defect of the vehicle. Inherently, after 75000 miles the vehicle will still be defective and they are refusing replacement or reimbursement of a defective vehicle. The letter is coded with C98066 above the date. I would be happy to fax a copy at your request. And I will continue to pursue justice from General Motors. Jeri aanonson.
This is a followup to a previously reported problem. The service lite has intermittently come on onthis vehicle since the 40K range. The egr valve, an injector and various incidental parts were replaced in November,1998 at 78000 miles during two separate service visits. The vehicle again experience identical problems in April 1999 at 84000 miles which include rough running and stalling at slow speeds and the service engine light again coming during the rough running periods. The veihcle was returned to the dealer who first replaced the sensor-ox(part #102) this did not correct the problem and 3 days latter a new egr valve had to be instaled on 4/16/99. Due to these repeated problems I feel it is dangerous to drive this vehicle since you never know when the problem will reoccur and the vecle will again stall and run rough, making it an adventure when you are slowing or attempting to merge in traffic.
The service engine soon light frequently comes on and off with the car running rough while on, beginning at about 25K miles, the egr valve has had to be replaced along with the injectors. Mjs
