Popping noise and slack in front drive train - dealer cannot find problem after repeated attempts. Finally found noise problem around dash - windshield is not glued in and could come out at any time - very dissatisfied with purchase. Dealership refuses to try and locate popping noise any further as they have been unable to locate the problem.
2000 Chevrolet Silverado transmission complaints
Page 4 of 5: complaints 71 to 100 of 103, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When driving between 40-50 MPH vehicle vibrates. Can be felt through steering wheel/ gas pedal and seat. Consumer thinks it may be drivetrain related. To dealer 4 times, no remedy. Dealer balanced tires, replaced driveshaft and adjusted suspension.
The transmission has been replaced twice and repaired once in a four month period from aug. 8, 2000, to jan. 15, 2001.
Intermittently when accelerating or decelerating vehicle will jerk violently. Dealer has inspected vehicle and could not correct problem.*ak consumer states problem is now continous with a loud slapping noise.
Driving truck and transmission started to slip, then trans heated up to 300 degrees. Smoke came from trans and burnt smell. Truck only had 6500 mileage on it. Truck was a 2500 hd with hd auto trans and snowplow prep package. Dealer replaced trans with new trans, but made it sound like it was my fault. Unhappy with dealer response to problem on this new truck.
While driving, transmission would downshift for no reason, from 2nd to 1st gear or 3rd to 2nd gear. Took to dealer, can't duplicate problem. *ak
Vehicle was in 4- wheel low and consumer was in back of it, vehicle moved on its own, went down hill, and hit a tree. Dealer found vehicle had jumped from 4- wheel low into neutral due to the linkage not adjusted rightly. Damage to bvehicle was $ 6000. *ak consumer was injured in accident.
There is a backlash in the rear differential.
A rattle sound in transmission when driving about 55 MPH. Dealer could not find cause and fix problem.
The 2000 silverado has to be a blunder by general motors. The truck has bad tires, the engine has used oil since day one . The engine has a deep knocking noise in the lower part and a tapping noise in the upper part . The engine has a miss at idle and no matter how much diagnostic equipment you hook up to the truck you can't find the reason, but after checking I have found that all the 99 and 2000 silerado's with the 5.3 have had a strange miss/vibration. There are so many more problems that I can't explain them all within this comment section. . Note the truck only has 8,592 miles. General motors has got a major problem with these trucks . Gm trucks have really gone down hill .gm customers need to be able to get ahold of some upper level management to discuss their problems and address their concerns on timely manner. *ak (tiresize: p265/75r16)( dot number: tire size: p265/75r16 )
Dealer refused to replace mirror even though truck under warranity and I have additional coverage.
Vehicle experiencing rough idle. Nlm
While vehicle was in park it juimped out of gear and into reverse, and hit a trailer, causing a crash. Vehicle was still in "parked" position. *ak when the vehicle could not get traction on ice/snow, the driver stopped the vehicle and put into park but the vehicle suddenly moved in reverse.
When in overdrive gear at approximately 45 MPH and going up a grade or tiny hill, vibration would occur, coming from drivetrain. Consumer could feel it through floor. Dealer reprogrammed PCM, but defect still occurred.
Wheneve the truck climbs a slight to heavy incline at 35 to 40 MPH it sound as though the drive trane is going to drop out from under the truck. The dealer tells me after 5 repair visits that this is normal and within gm tolerances
Vehicle experiencing severe vibration when starting off from a cold start. Problem is due to a defective design of driveshaft. Manufacturer notified, and informed consumer that they were aware of problem. But, there was no corrective action to this problem at this time. Please feel free to provide further detauls on this matter.
When driving under normal conditions at highway speed transmission will stop pulling. To regain transmission vehicle had to be placed into neutral while driving. Dealer has been contacted.
When accelerating gently truck has a flatness and stalls out. Then, there is a vibration to it. Was told by dealer that there is a problem with these 5.3 voltec engines and transmission combination.
Driveline - transmision or driveshaft or rear end has exteame slack. Vehicle hesitates when taking of in forward or reverse causing the vehicle surge (or jump forward or backward)creating a situation that is unsafe, seriously imacts the driveablity and dramatically reduces the value of the vehicle. When the vehicle is "cold" this problem does not "show as bad as it does after the vehicle is driven for 30 minutes or so. The dealers service department (ron hue mgr.) will not acknoledge the problem although the dealers sales manager (jeff sauer, sales mgr.) did drive the vehicle and has acknoledged that the problem exists. This problem is one that is at it's worst when trying to park or menuver in tight spaces. A $32,000 truck should not do this and the manufacturer should do whatever it takes to fix the problem! After numerous trips to the dealer and countless phone calls - nothing has been done!! Please help!!

The front end makes noise whenever the vehicle is in four wheel drive and turning in either direction. Yh
Consumer had taken vehicle to dealer four times for noise coming from front suspension. According to dealer noise was caused by a lack of lubrication on driveline.
From parked position - will delay shifting into forward or reverse.

Also, vehicle is not downshifting to proper gear ,causing a vibration throughout vehicle when driving at speeds between 35-45 MPH. When changing to any gear from park position, vehicle will jerk.
