Page 2 of 3: complaints 11 to 40 of 66, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Egr valve gets jammed up with carbon, which causes vehicle to surge/ backfire and completely stop. This has been an ongoing problem since december of 1998. Dealership is not able to correct the problem. There is a service bullletin # 96067(a) that references this problem. *ak during the last failure, the vehicle stopped on the highway.
Had engine knock at idle several times. Dealer fixed before the warranty went out. The same thing is happening again, the dealer said sorry about that.
Egr valve clogged up every 12 months. Dealer notified, and urged consumer to use only chevron fuel. Can the federal safety agency please shine some light on this matter.
Fuel pumps replaced over 5 times, injectors replaced 4 times, complained about ABS brakes from first dat of ownership, they dont stop the vehicle in a panic stop, 2 accidents due to brakes!!! Injector lines worn through by rubbing on fuel line under plenum multiple times causes major fuel leakage!! Possible fire hazard dealer contacted, chevrolet conttacted.
Front brakes grab after truck sits in rain or other wet weather causing difficulty in control.
My engine has been knocking for awhile now. Recentley it started to whine or squeal and I took it to the dealership. They stated I should expect the pistons and engine bearings to do that with a truck that age. I only have 50,000 miles on truck. They also told me chevrolet put out a tsb on that problem. I called the manufacturer with no results. They called the dealer and the dealer said they would not do anything. I sent gm a letter and opened a problem report with them to let them know how dissatisfied I was with the explanation I received on the problem with their product. I copied the dealer on the letter. I have not heard back from them. I would like them to know from a source like this that I'm not happy with their product or their explanation.
We have paid nearly $1,000 for these repairs. There are technical service bulletins and recall notices for some of these problems. The dealer advised us that the egr valve was "normal wear & tear" even though it went out during the warranty period. The fuel injector went out 4 months after the warranty expired. Several other repair shops indicated that this was a problem with this particular vehicle.
Air condtioner/ heater electrical control short out, causing an electrical fire. Toxic fumes were spilled into the driver's side of vehicle, causing sickness and poor visibility. The dealer has been notified.
When the vehicle is cold the engine idles high . The dealer has been notified.

I feel that the I have been treated poorly by the dealer because the dealer was aware of the ongoing problem with this type of truck and tried to ask as if I had no problem. I feel the manufactor should have made it known to the customer the same time they made the dealers aware of this problem. The manufactor has gone to the point of even providing an unupgrade design to fix this problem. But still untill I had this problem I was not made aware of the possibility of the condition. Only after questioning and checking the internet I am at this point.
Egr valve sticks causing loss of power and stalling on several occasions.
Engine mounts are depressed, causing the engine to drop, resulting in the transmission and the engine cooling fan hitting the shroud which protects the clutch. Please give any further details.
