We had two 2000 year model chevolet Silverado truck we got rid of one because the gas gauge when filled up . The law fuel light comes on and it would cost alot to have fixed, I think it should be the factory's responceablity to replace this. I have talked to alot of people who has the same problem with there 2000 model chevy Silverado trucks. What can be done?.
On going problem with the fuel gauge in my Silverado since new which gives inaccurate readings and now has become a very serious safety issue. I ran out of gas and my vehicle suddenly stopped as I was going through a tunnel the other day at 50 mph with a transport truck behind me! gm says its a defective sensor.
The driver side tailgate cable broke, and the passenger side tailgate cable was hanging by some threads. Also, passenger door will not unlock, and there was a delay in acceleration. The tailgate cable was replaced with the same type that failed. The fuel gauge was not working properly. The fuel sender/ pump unit and actuator had to be replaced.
Truck is hard to start in warmer weather. It will turn over several times before it will start or I press the accelerator to get sufficient gas to start the truck. Also. . . Since I bought this truck I have had difficulty in with the gas petal 'sticking' and it lunges before I back off the gas and accelerate normally. It's a pain and one day will get someone hurt. VIN number is 2gcec19toy1218813.
