2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 fuel system problems

Filed Jun 18, 2018 · Body, Brakes · 40,000 miles · OH

Extreme rust, tailgate cables broke in use, had to replace. Tailgate still won't latch properly, dropping open while driving/hauling fairly often; brake line rusted out, replaced before had accident; whole frame rusted - under carriage//tire wells/drive shaft/around reece hitch so I worry about pulling trailer/hailing. Horn has rusted off. Only 77,000 miles as I do not drive it daily, just to work around my place or pickup/haul/trailer something. Gm needs recall to address this rust issue because it is a major safety issue.

Here I am 2016 and the third time I have to replace rusted corrosive brake lines and fuel lines. This time I only put 3500 miles on the truck since the last time. They are on the verge or blowing out, the first two times they did and lucky was able to stop. The fuel line is gone again also. Why??

2011: I lost my brakes while hauling 2 horses in the mountains of western maryland. As I was traveling downhill, I was extremely fortunate to have been able to turn into a business that was "uphill" an used gravity to stop. This was extremely scary. I had my truck towed and learned that my brake lines rusted out. 2014: I took my truck in to have an oil change and learned that my fuel lines were leaking. I had no warning and obviously I replaced them. I have also replaced my air conditioning twice.

My 2001 chevy silverado 2500hd with the 8.1 engine will stall at anytime. It has happened when sitting idle, taking off from a light, and I've even had it happen doing 50 MPH. I refuse to let someone borrow my truck because I'm afraid they will panic and get in an accident. It is especially dangerous since you lose power steering and basically have no control of the vehicle. Sometimes I can drive for 50 miles and not have a problem and other times it will stall twice in 30 minutes. So there seems to be no rhyme or reason. I do not understand why there has not been a recall issued for this problem.

Brake, fuel, transmission cooler, and power steering cooler lines became very rusty and eventually leaked. Most lines have been replaced at this point, and a few still need to be. I bought the truck used in september 2005 with 72,010 miles on it and problem had already started. Fuel level sensor has failed twice, and requires replacement again. Power window motors on both sides have each failed twice. Truck now has over 150,000 miles, and I'm only reporting because many of these same troubles appear to be common on later model chevy/gmc trucks.

My vehicle would stall out on me at any time for about 2 months it didn't matter what speed I was doing or where I was it would stall out so I would have to coast to the side of the road with no power steering and wait to crank the vehicle back up. Then december 23 2008 I was on my way home and it completely stopped I couldn't get it to crank battery was completely dead and it was at night on a highway. I took it to every dealer ship and every mechanic and noone could tell me what was wrong with it. Finally I looked online at recalls and found that there is a recall for the exact make and model of my vehicle but when I called gmc they told me that there was no recall for my vehicle so I went and paid out of my own pocket to fix this problem. This is a major problem that they have found but aren't doing anything about it for me I mean if they have the recall already for the same vehicle then why isn't my vehicle included?

We have a 2001 chevy 2500 hd truck and have also had issues with a faulty fuel gauge where it goes from showing the fuel level to dropping down and the "low fuel" sensor showing. We also have the gas pedal that sticks. Several of our friends have owned chevys at some point and have had similar issues. These should definitely be recalled. We have lived with these issues for a couple of years. We shouldn't have to pay several hundred dollars to repair issues that several chevy owners are all experiencing.
