problem #3

Jul 092006

Silverado 3500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 80,000 miles
- the contact owns a 2001 Silverado pickup. The contact stated that every 2000 to 3000 miles while driving at 50 mph the engine would lose power momentarily, and then start back up. The contact would sometimes have to pull over on the road and restart the vehicle. The failure became more and more frequent. He took the vehicle to three or four different dealers, and they could not duplicate or diagnose the failure. The contact determined that the failure was due to the ignition and had it repaired, after being told he would be reimbursed the contact has not received the reimbursement. Also the brake light and ABS lights turn on intermittently when driving without applying the brakes. This failure had occurred ten times. The transmission, fuel gauge sending unit, the right power window all had to be replaced. The engine light illuminated. Updated 03/07/07.

I have just recently purchased a 2001 Silverado and my gas hand will go to empty and my low fuel light will come on but I will have a full tank of gas...if you shake the truck or stomp om the gas pedal it will go back to full and light will go off...a friend of mine has a 2002 Silverado and my aunt has a Blazer and they all do the same thing.
