CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006 Safety Review #10214008

CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006 car safety problem was reported on Jan 03, 2008.CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:COOLING UNIT AND LINES . I HAVE A 2006 3/4 TON PICK UP WITH THE DURAMAX DIESEL AND ALISON TRANSMISSION. IN NOVEMBER OF 2006 AT ABOUT 20K MILES, A LOW PRESSURE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE (PART NUMBER 219989580) DEVELOPED A MAJOR LEAK AND REQUIRED REPAIR. WITHIN WEEKS, THE REPLACED LINE FAILED AND THE DEALER INFORMED US THAT MANY TRUCKS OF THE SAME DESIGN WERE FAILING FOR THE SAME PART. IT TOOK WEEKS TO GET A REPLACEMENT PART FOR GM. FEED BACK FROM OTHER GM DEALERS INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM WAS WIDE SPREAD. WHEN A REPLACEMENT PART WAS FINALLY PROVIDED, WE WERE INFORMED BY GM WESTERN REGION SERVICE THAT A DESIGN "FIX" HAD BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND THAT THE TRUCK WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. THREE WEEKS AGO, (45,000 MILES) MY TRUCK STARTED LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID AGAIN. AN INSPECTION BY THE DEALER REVEALED THAT NOT ONLY THE SAME LINE WAS LEAKING AGAIN BUT THAT TWO OTHER LINES OF THE SAME DESIGN WERE ALSO LEAKING. THIS DEALER, E&L MOTORS IN KEMMERER HAD ALREADY SEEN MORE THAN A DOZEN TRUCKS IN THE PAST FEW WEEKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND WAS FRUSTRATED BECAUSE REPLACEMENT LINES FROM GM WOULD START LEAKING WITHIN DAYS OF INSTALLATION. WE WERE TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THERE WAS A RUMOR THAT GM WOULD BE DOING A RECALL ON THIS PART. IN THE MEAN TIME, I AM NOT GETTING ANY DIRECT INFORMATION AND THE CORRECTIVE ACTION GM IS TELLING IT'S DEALERS IS TO HAVE THE OWNER CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID FREQUENTLY, A SPECIAL FLUID WHICH IS NOT AVAILABLE THROUGH ANYONE EXCEPT AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALER. RECENT CONTACTS WITH OTHER GM DEALERS HAVE EXPOSED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH "DOZENS" OF TRUCKS IN OUR AREA WHICH ARE ALSO WAITING FOR A RELIABLE REPLACEMENT PART. I USE THIS TRUCK FOR WORK. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS, MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS HAVING ONE OF THE LEAKING LINES BLOW LEAVING ME STRANDED IN FREEZING WEATHER WHERE CELL COVERAGE EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 20000 miles.

CHEVROLET C/K 2500 Steering

CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006 Safety Review #10545466

CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006 car safety problem was reported on Mar 14, 2012.CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with STEERING . I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM A DEALER WITH A ONE YEAR CERTIFIED USED WARRANTY AT 49K MILES. WITHIN A MONTH OF PURCHASE I NOTICED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FREE-PLAY IN THE STEERING AND NOTICED A LOOSE PITMAN ARM WHEN ROTATING THE STEERING WHEEL AND OBSERVING THIS PART. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS IN THE INDIANAPOLIS AREA. AFTER THEIR INSPECTION AND CONSULTING GM CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, I WAS TOLD FREE-PLAY WAS NORMAL OR WITHIN PARAMETERS. ONE YEAR LATER AND 69K MILES, I TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE (OIL & FILTER CHANGES ETC) AND TO HAVE THEM PLEASE LOOK AT THE BRAKES AS I COULD FEEL A VIBRATION. THE VEHICLE IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY... THEY TELL ME NOW THAT THESE PARTS (PITMAN ARM / STEERING BOX) WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS TO THE TUNE OF JUST UNDER $2,000. I HAVE DONE MY OWN RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS IN REGARDS TO STEERING ASSEMBLY / PARTS ON THESE TRUCKS. NOTHING I HAVE FOUND SAYS THAT THIS MUCH FREE-PLAY IS "NORMAL" IN REGARDS TO THIS VEHICLE AND IN FACT, SOME FRONT WHEEL AXLES AND WHEEL ASSEMBLIES HAVE ACTUALLY SEPARATED FROM THE VEHICLE. MY WHEELS OR BEARINGS (I SAW FOR MYSELF WHEN IT WAS ON THE LIFT AND I HAVE THE OLD PARTS) HAD A DANGEROUS AMOUNT OF WOBBLE IN THEM, WITH THE RIGHT WHEEL HAVING IN EXCESS OF 1" OF TILT OR LOOSENESS. THIS IN MY OPINION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE "NORMAL" PLAY AND I QUESTION GM'S HONESTY CONCERNING THIS ISSUE... WHY IS THIS ACCEPTABLE WHEN UNDER WARRANTY BUT NEEDS EXPENSIVE REPAIR WHEN ITS ON MY DIME? I BELIEVE GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IS PUSHING THE COST OFF TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. *JS.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 50000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GCHK23DX6F. Chevrolet C/k 2500 2006 problem was reported in INDIANAPOLIS, IN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006 Safety Review #10560496

CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006 car safety problem was reported on Aug 03, 2013.CHEVROLET C/K 2500 2006, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . I WAS PREPARING TO SLOW DOWN AS I APPROACHED MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I APPLIED MY VEHICLE'S BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. MY VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN AND I HAD TO UTILIZE ME EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ALSO SHIFT INTO A LOWER GEAR IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH TO SAFELY MAKE A TURN AND SUBSEQUENTLY MY VEHICLE TRAVELLED THRU A DITCH AREA AND CAME TO A STOP IN MY FRONT YARD. COMPLETING A CHECK OF MY VEHICLE'S BRAKE SYSTEM, I LEARNED THAT MY MASTER CYLINDER WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE WHERE I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE'S COMPLETE BRAKING SYSTEM LINES HAD RUSTED AWAY CAUSING ALL BRAKE FLUID LOSS AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ALL BRAKES LINES WERE REPLACED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE ABS MODULE AND THEN TO EACH BRAKE SYSTEM AT THE WHEEL. THE COST OF THE WORK WAS $598.00. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 MODEL YEAR AND IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE, HOWEVER I'M VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE BRAKING FLUID LINES FAILING WITH ONLY 52,500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON THE PART OF GENERAL MOTORS. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO ASSIST ME WITH THE MATTER AND AT THIS TIME I'M COMPLETING THIS COMPLAINT. THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADMINISTRATION NEEDS TO TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION UPON GENERAL MOTORS TO ENSURE HIGHER QUALITY OF BRAKE LINES ARE INSTALLED INSTEAD OF SUBSTANDARD BRAKE LINES. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT/INCIDENT WITH THE BRAKES FAILING. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO SEE GENERAL MOTORS REIMBURSE ME IN FULL FOR THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. .Vehicle was involved in a crash. 0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 52500 miles.
