I have a 2001 cheverolet silverado 2500 hd ext. Cab. The sideview mirrors have a defective part in the breakaway mechanism that causes them to 'breakaway' completely. This just happened to my passenger side mirror and six months ago happened to the driver side. Whatever piece they used inside the mirror is defective. I've never heard this happeining to any vehicle other that chevy trucks and SUV's from 2000 to 2003.

Was rolling the passenger side window down while backing up with trailer when I heard a noise and the window stopped mid-way. Needed to purchase the entire power window assembly instead of purchasing a simple cable.

Drivers side window crapped out. Window doesn't go down, cable broken at motor drive. The truck is a 2001 chevy silverado, it's only 3, well technically 4 years old. The part to replace it from the dealership is well over rated in price. You have to purchase the whole component. Just the cable can not be purchased. It's my understanding that this is a regular occurrence with these window regulators.

While driving at any speed the vehicle drifted to the left and right. The owner made contact with the dealer multiple times, however the problem still existed. *nlm the vehicle pulled to the right and left while in motion. The right wiper did not clean the windshield. There was a rattle noise which had come from the dash area on the left side while the vehicle was in motion. The dealer found four missing bolts under the steering. Due to the vehicle going to the left, the front calipers were removed, to check movement, the rear drums for dragging, binding, adjust and reassemble. *scc
