2000 Chevrolet Silverado engine complaints

Steering wheel shaking bad and light vibration in cab above 62+ m.p.h(took to dealer and have had tires balanced 3 times, dealer said no fix at this time, I should not be told this for paying $ 30,000 for the truck. ( light ticking noise coming from engine idle to 1000 r.p.m 's ) dealer said no worry but what is going to happen when it is out of warranty.
Was pulling ont highway when vehicle bogged down. When putting fuel into tank & starting, vehicle would die out for no reason. Taken to dealership 3 times for stalling out. Contacted manufacturer & was informed nothing could be done, but did know about problem.
Vehicle was leaking coolant out of the radiator. Currently, vehicle was pulling to left and right and into oncoming traffic. Consumer has contacted dealership, at this time no reply from the mechanic.
Overall vehicle is a step back in time. Many components of this "improved truck" fail to impress or even operate as they should, as mileage mounts more seems to go wrong this truck, truck goes back to dealer again next week but I am told there is nothing wrong or item has been fixed but problem is still there or returns shortly.
Engine missing/rough idle. Above 4500 ft elev and above 65mph = 19.6mpg. Below 4500 ft elev and under 65pmh = 16.6mph. Emissions cannot be working! Fuel = throttle sticks from idle and when accelerating from coasting.
Car has been in service twice for knocking noise heard in engine.
Vibration in vehicle, oil consumption, brakes, popping noise in front-end.
5.3l rough/stumbling idle, 3 yimes at dealer (injectors, idle reprogram), problem persists, lemon?
Motor is knocking very badly. Consumer fears the motor may blow out.
Engine light on due to internal failure with evap solenoid, replaced evaporative emission canister purge valve, ignition coil wire open. Nlm
Engine check light came on repeatedly, took to dealer but they could not find a problem. Soon after the vehicle stalled, and was brought back to the dealer. The fuel sending unit and the ignition coil wire were replaced to repair the vehicle.
While driving down the highway, engine dies, causing a loss of power. Steering stiffens, and brakes get hard. Dealer has been contacted.
While driving down the road engine dies out. This happens when taking foot off the gas pedal. Message control panel reads a big red battery, and the power surges. Contacted dealer and manufacturer, they are not able to fix the problem. *ak
Intermittently vehicle will stall out and die without warning, resulting in loss of power. Dealer has repaired vehicle seven times. However, the problem reoccurred. *ak
Vehicle has been to 3 dealers numerous times. Contacted chevrolet no solution available. No safety defected listed within summary.
When traveling between 70- 80 miles vehicle stalls. Dealership is aware of the problem. Vehicle was put on a machine. Dealership is waiting for a program to come back. Gm states they are unable to fix the problem and will not be able to diagnose until mid-march. *ak
Rough engine idle (missing) and transmission shudders ( forward gear) when shifting into 2nd gear.
Rough idle, exhaust burning black, smell of gasoline in oil
Engine idles rough (missing), inside of exhaust is burning black, average mpg is 16.6, oil on dip-stick has gasoline smell.
Chevrolet has denied that their 99 and 00 chevrolet silverados do not have a problem with thier new engines. I know of numerous other owners who have this problem which chevrolet acknowledges as a normal sound. I have been told by the dealer that the truck can not be fixed because the new ones make the same noise. I have driven other compriable trucks and they do not have the engine ping/knock. The dealer also said that the noise will eventually go away, but I have seen trucks with 19000 with the noise continuing. This problem could increase emmisions if it is indeed a ping/knock. If this problem persists with no fix from chevrolet, I could have enginge damage caused by the ping/knock that will not be covered by the warranty. Thank you for your time.
