I had just driven 15 miles to on the expressway, I stopped at a store for a couple of minutes. When I went back to the truck, I didn't see the fluid under it, but got in and started the truck. At that time I was accelerating slowly to pull out of a parking spot. About that time a pedestrian stepped off the curb in front of me. I hit the break and it went to the floor! I missed the pedestrian and coasted to the end of the parking lot where I tried to apply the emergency break, that also failed! a concrete curb allowed me to stop the vehicle without incident. I had the vehicle towed to 2 garages before I could find one to repair it at a cost of just under $900.

The contact owns a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 hd. The contact stated that the vehicle suddenly stalled while parked. The contact inspected the vehicle and noticed a failure with the fuel injector pump. The contact pumped air out of the fuel injectors and restarted the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostics where the technician stated that the fuel injector and fuel injector pump had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated prior to having ownership of the vehicle, the fuel injectors were replaced under an extended warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000. The VIN was not available.

We have a 2500 hd also with failed injectors. We were not injured nor killed. However, oil and diesel blew out on roadway and on the engine of truck. I do not know if this caused an accident with the vehicle behind me or not. How many accidents could have happened and no one realized it was from the oil of our truck. Further more Chevy knows this is a problem. So how many people have to get hurt or die before they take care of the problem. Of everyone I have talked to only one person was under warranty and they made it by 14 days. Chevy has a problem and needs to fix it, and not with an extended warranty. This is my first Chevy and will be my last. Maybe that is why Chevy needed bail out money

: the contact stated while driving at no particular speed, the engine ran rough. The vehicle was taken to an independent repair shop for inspection and the mechanic determined the fuel injectors were blocked. The injectors were changed; however, the problem persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the repair shop where the injectors were cleaned. Again, the problem was apparent and the vehicle was taken back to the mechanic. During the last inspection, the mechanic determined the fuel lines were corroded due to road salt corrosion. The fuel lines were replaced and the problem was corrected.

On both my 2003 Chevy Suburban, and 2002 Chevy K2500 truck, the gas gauge reads erroneously. Tends to get hung up at 1/4 tank, then later goes to empty...at which time I've run out of gas! Chevy replaced the burb fuel sensor twice, and the truck once...under warranty. Past warranty they will not help. Safety issue: I ran out of gas in downtown atlanta interstate traffic during rush hour, had to weave my dead truck through 70 mph traffic to the left shoulder. Very dangerous move...luckily was not rear-ended! have friends w/ same truck...same problem.

  • Automatic transmission
  • 24,000 miles
Many of the problems took several times in the shop to fix. The castrophic failures in the engine & transmission have never been fixed. The truck has lunging, dead spots & surges & the transmission clunks (shifts hard, jerky) the auto may or may not accelerate on demand & will later accelerate when you need to apply the brakes.

The truck has a fuel leak that caused the oil pressure to go down. There's a recall for the CNG fuel leakage 03V435000 but the VIN number is outside the remedy scope.
