2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 — Complaint #593014
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES filed August 18, 2006
NHTSA complaint #593014 (ODI reference 10165901) concerns a 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 and was filed on August 18, 2006. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 18, 2006. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as vehicle speed control:linkages, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 cohort independently describe similar vehicle speed control:linkages failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
THIS IS IN REGARDS TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA02015. I DID NOT KNOW OF THIS SITE AND OF SUCH DEFECT INVESTIGATIONS, BUT ALTHOUGH THE MATTER MIGHT BE CLOSED, I MUST STRONGLY URGE YOU TO REOPEN THIS MATTER REGARDLESS OF WHAT GM IS RESPONDING WITH. I HAVE NOTICED IN THE PAST AND PRESENT, THAT THE CONDITION DESCRIBED IN THE NHTSA ACTION, IS STILL CURRENTLY OCCURRING. I LIVE IN THE SAN FRANCISCO OUTSKIRTS WHERE TEMPERATURES RARELY REACH ABOVE 80 DEGREES F. DURING DAYS WHERE THE TEMPERATURE RISES, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL DOES, "STICK" WHERE YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT A GOOD FIRM PUSH WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. ALSO, WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON A SLOPE, IT ALSO DOES SEEM TO, "STICK" OFTEN. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS STATEMENT, I WILL NOT PUT A SPECIFIC INCIDENT DATE BECAUSE IT IS ONGOING AND WILL LIST TODAY'S DATE FOR PURPOSES OF FUTURE REFERENCE. THANK YOU. *NM
