2000 Chevrolet C/K Pickups recalls

Recall 05V-005: Power Train

Reported Jan 7, 2005 · 98,221 vehicles affected · GENERAL MOTORS CORP.

Problem: Some pickup trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles equipped with a hydraulic pump driveshaft that can fracture, resulting in immediate loss of hydraulic power steering assist. On certain vehicles equipped with hydro-boost power brakes, the same condition can result in loss of power assist for braking after the reserve pressure is depleted.

Risk: An inoperative pump can cause increased steering effort, and in hydro-boost equipped vehicles also increased braking effort, but does not completely eliminate the ability to steer or slow the vehicle.

Fix: Dealers will replace the hydraulic pump. The campaign began on february 14, 2005. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or gmc at 1-866-996-9463.

Service Brakes · reported May 31, 2015

I AM one of the the lucky ones. I was pulling in my driveway and the rear brake line blew and the brake pedal went to the floor! I'm very lucky I did not go through my garage door! I have the truck at sutherland chevrolet waiting for the damages $$$$ I can't give you the mileage because it at the dealership. Corroded brake lines!

Air Bags · at 102,000 miles · reported Sep 16, 2014

I was involved in a head on collision with another vehicle, a larger gmc dually. I was traveling at 55 MPH when the other vehicle entered my lane at near or equal speed and struck me head on. I had time to react by stomping the brakes but I seemed to not slow down. I had no where to turn all possible lanes of avoidance were blocked with smaller cars. The airbags did not deploy... It is my understanding that by law cars/light trucks are required by law to have airbags if they are 1998 or newer. I understand a light truck to be up to 8,600 lbs gross weight with payload. This standard includes my…

Approaching intersection green lite changed to red being first to get to crossing I applied my brakes and pedal went to floor!!! Needless to say I did not stop for red lite for 4 lane hi-way, pulled over a saw puddle forming from brake line, looking across the intersection there was a larger puddle appr. Where brake was applied. Thank god no cars were close, I sure if I hit some one the first would be said, a old man went through red lite, correct, no brakes!!!!!!!

Service Brakes · at 102,000 miles · reported Sep 21, 2012

Was moving truck into drive way after it had been parked in the street. Upon pulling into the drive way I noticed I had no brakes. Turned truck off and checked under truck to find that there was brake fluid leaking from under the truck by the left rear wheel. Upon calling my mechanic I AM told that this is a normal thing with my year truck and that it was being investigated by the NHTSA because of the amount of complaints. Oh and also it would cost almost 800.00 dollars to repair because the mechanic will not just replace one line because once one goes they all start to go based on his…

Fuel System, Gasoline · at 100,000 miles · reported Dec 30, 2010

Fuel gauge intermittent short in wiring at sending unit. Received recall notice about possible short causing explosion hazard. Contacted [xxx] chev. In hoover, al. And was told I was over mileage limit for recall. Does that mean it won't explode after 75,000 miles? I paid $916.00 for repairs. This sucks.
