2002 chevrolet silverado 2500hd. Consumer writes in regards to vehicle blowing out diesel fuel *tgw it was determined the injectors were bad and the low side pressure lines were causing fuel to enter to enter the crankcase.
All brake hydraulic lines are rusted, all fuel supply lines are rusted, excessive rust on frame and other undercarriage components, brake rotors, calipers all covered with excessive. Rust. These defects have serious safety implications, which could result in injury or death to the vehicle occupants or others. Gm should be required to issue a recall on these vehicles and replace all major corroded brake components with non corrosive metals, brake fluid lines, fuel lines, rusted frames and any other components. Many accidents will be occurring because of braking failures and frame failure. This recall should be issued immediately before any other failures occur. These gm trucks also have defective steering boxes that feel loose when rounding corners. I have had a 1995, 2001, 2002 chevy and gmc with same problem they never stood behind this problem other than to put some grease in which was a temporary fix.
Vehicle exhibited hard starting for a few days, and then was found with a large puddle of fuel under it in the morning, and was continuing to leak. Upon inspection, all steel fuel lines, at every point of connection, and at every brace, have thick, scaly, flaking rust. The corrosion is severe. In most locations, nearing the point of failure, and in at least one spot, resulted in a pin hole leak, with a significant quantity of fuel leaking onto the vehicle and the ground. The steel brake lines were also found to have a similar degree of corrosion, and will probably fail in the near term.
I have a 2002 chevrolet silverado 2500hd lt ext. Cab lb7 duramax 5 speed allison transmission, it has 114000 miles on it. This truck has been serviced as directed since new. The truck started using lots of fuel, at an idle it serged between 700 & 900 RPM's, and oil started blowing out the blowby tube. I have just found out that 3 fuel injectors are leaking fuel, with a possible head gasket leak,filling my crankcase with diesel, causing oil to blow out all over the truck, road and whatever else it can land on. While investigating what to do, to fix the truck I've found 3 other people I know that have duramax's, and they are going through the same problems. It's going to take me a year to save the money I need to fix this truck. I'm even going to do the work myself. In my opinion gm should be ashamed. They should at leased pay for the parts. The cheapest injectors I've found are $225.00 apiece with a $125.00 core charge. It's recomended that all 8 injectors be replaced at once. I've also been told these engines have defective head gaskets. That will cost another $600.00 for parts, and $110.00 for special tools I need to do the job. When I forked over the $40,000 cash inheritince money to buy this truck, I didn't signup for this.
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
Failing fuel injectors causing smoke out of exhaust on a duramax diesel truck. Gm knew of defect with injectors and only issued an extended warranty for 7 years/200,000 miles which ever occurred first. It was only good if you had an issue with the injectors at the time of warranty. I just found this out from a dealer and other owners of same type vehicle. If gm knowingly knew of these issues why did they not do a recall on said vehicles? It's really a matter of principle and moral ethics to do the right thing, rather than have the consumer take the fall for their lack of product design!
I am concerned about the defective lb7 injectors causing a fire when they leak. Vehicle 2002 chevrolet silverado hd2500 duramax diesel. Also causing another driver to crash from the puddle of diesel left behind when I have injector failure as has happened and will again since gm has no suitable replacement other than the defective part. Also curious about the total affect on the environment as this seems to be a common occurrence on 2001-2004 duramax diesels. Should I repair and then have concern of a vehicle fire? With my family onboard?
My 2002 chevy silverado with duramax diesel engine broke down while on a trip from michigan to florida. The diesel injector casing failed causing the crankcase to overfill with diesel fuel then caused oil and diesel fuel mix to come out of the engine while traveling down the road covering the underside of the vehicle and roadway as well as vehicles directly behind me. The gm dealer in georgia stated we were in by mileage but out of the extended 7 year 200000 mile injector warranty by 1year and 4 days and the cost would be $6250 to replace 8 injectors. They offered a 10% discount off that repair. Subsequent calls to gm customer assistance were made to no end (they stated the 10% discount was their best offer). I pleaded that the time limit should not be a factor as this should not affect wear (injectors do not fail when they are not operating) my vehicle has 120000 miles on it (well under 200000 warranty as stated by the customer assistance rep). I paid extra for the diesel for longevity and fuel economy as I am on a fixed income but wound up being treated unfairly especially for a known problem and the fact that oil/fuel blowing out on the highway and vehicles is a safety and emissions defect. I would like someone from the federal safety agency to consider investigating this aspect (time limit) and safety of drivers and fighting for me to get assistance. Thanks for listening

I own a 2002 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd, 8.1 liter, v8. In the past 4 months, the vehicle completely would lose power and shut off. After a few minutes, the vehicle would restart. It did not matter the speed of the vehicle, nor distance driven. There was no dash board lights on indicating any problems. I stalled several times in traffic, nearly missing/causing accidents. The dealer had vehicle for 3 days and said there was nothing on diagnostic showing problems. I refused vehicle stating I was not going to endanger myself or family till resolved. It was determined, after the gm blog and personal internet search of this vehicle complaints, the crankshaft position sensor was bad. The dealer replaced for a charge of $288.38 parts/labor at my expense. This vehicle needs a recall for this part and someone is going to be seriously hurt, especially when there is no indication of a problem showing. Case #71-71437694 filed with chevrolet at 1‑800‑630‑2438.
Failure of engine due to fuel injectors.
Fuel leak - fuel consumption - lack of power - smoking - hard to start - no accelerating power. I have since started some research on this issue and come to find out that there has been multiple engine recalls in my same class from the same manufacturing company, however my VIN# has not been recalled yet. I have lodged a formal complaint with the bbb and have addressed my concerns directly with gm however they have not taken any action to resolve this issue before it hurts or kills someone.
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.
I own a 2002 chev k2500hd. I have had several problems, but was unaware of this site to report these problems until now. First, the dryer switch on the AC went bad @ 34k. Second,@ 65k I had to replace the front left wheel hub assembly as talked about in one of the other complaints I read. Third, @ 95k my transfer case developed a leak and I lost all the fluid. A chevrolet mechanic showed me a transfer case that had gone bad due to the same problem and had been used in 4wd w/out fluid in it. Another chevrolet mechanic told me he had seen several of these and that "jb weld is your friend". So I patched the hole, and 10k later it developed a second leak in a similar location and also about this same time an electrical part (about $550) went out for my 4wd. Now at 130k it has developed a third leak! Also starting @ approximately 50k, my rear differential has locked up on me several times and I have had to replace 4 cables on my tailgate. After being a chevy man all my life I think I will look at toyota.
While driving injector put fuel into the oil pan. The ses light illuminated. Took the vehicle to the dealer. They supposedly fixed it.consumer was concerned with collateral damages to the engine.
