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.
Engine exhaust manifold bolt nearest the firewall broken allowing raw untreated engine exhaust to be expelled into atmosphere. Exhaust smell in passenger compartment at slow speeds.
Large intake leak, antifreeze leaking into the oil milked oil. When I checked the oil I found this so started looking for other problems. I put a pressure test on the radiator and found the leak immediately! the antifreeze came out from under the front edge of the #1 cylinder!I am very up set to hear that this is very common and would like to see G.M. recall their trucks for this problem! I repaired the problem myself. If I had to pay some one to fix this problem it would have cost in the range of $700-$900.
I own a Chevrolet 2500 Silverado truck, four wheel drive with the 6.0 liter engine. There are three bolts broken off in the intake manifold of the truck due to what I believe was over torquing at the factory.
