1 Engine problem of the 2002 Chevrolet C1500

Failure Date: 01/27/2006

This vehicle had a defective distributor cap. While attempting to start it the engine jerked several times causing the engine block to crack where the starter is mounted. The dealer first replaced the original cap with another defective cap. When they replaced it the second time, I was informed that the block was cracked and they could not fix it.

2 Engine problem of the 2003 Chevrolet C1500

Failure Date: 04/01/2003

2003 Chevrolet silverado goes into "reduced engine power" mode. The truck has done this 3 times in the last week. If it happens while trying to pull into traffic a serious accident could result. I have an appointment to fix the problem but the real concern is to have a computer able to control the engine speed is dangerous. At any time it could reduce engine power without the driver having any control.

4 Engine problem of the 2000 Chevrolet C1500

Failure Date: 10/01/2000

The pistons in the engine are knocking. The dealer states they cannot hear the noise which is quite obvious and getting louder. The vehicle has been twice for this problem and still it is not corrected. We have contacted the manufacturer, bbb, congressman, atty general, in hopes to have something done to prevent the locup of this engine. If the engine were to lockup at 70mph on the intersate there could be a bad accident. There are several hundreds if not thousands of people with the same problem. . Read more...
