2000 Chevrolet Silverado Base review from North America

Steering Gear replaced.

Shipped from factory with no grease in universal joints.

SRS airbag sensor malfunction.

Rear Brakes self destructed at 30 000Km.

Rough idle.

Emergency brake assembly self destructed and took rear axle housing with it.

Heater controls seized.

DRL bulbs constantly need replacement.

Factory installed box liner falling out.

Temperature sensor failed at 2 300 Km.

Overall I am not as happy with this truck as I could be. It just isn't a solid truck. The previous truck I had had well over 270 000Km of hard service with very little repairs required.

The Chev has just not lived up to the hype. At the end of the warranty period it will be disposed of.

GM really dropped the ball on this truck the sheet metal is weak and dents easily. The paint is soft and scratches very easily. Cabin glass is soft and doesn't take even the smallest stone hit without chipping or cracking.

ABS brakes are overly sensitive and will engage even when going over the smallest of road imperfections. Factory installed Goodyear tires wore quickly and were expensive to replace.

The dealership where the vehicle has any warranty work done has been quite good and has had loaners available to me when my truck has required overnight stays. Parts have always been available quickly and service personnel have been polite and professional.

The ride and comfort are excellent as well as the fuel economy for a full size truck however it's just not enough to sway me to buy another one when you add up the issues.
