TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K3500. THE CONTACT HEARD A RATTLING NOISE, WHEN HE NOTICED THAT THE DRIVE LINE WAS LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SHAKE EXCESSIVELY. BOTH THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT HIS VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS AND THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NEED TO BE REPAIRED AT HIS EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 136,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,500.

CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 DIESEL PU - I NOTICED RED FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WHEN MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT HE SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LINES WERE LEAKING, ALONG WITH THE POWER STEERING LINE. HE HAD WORKED ON FOUR WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. HAD I DRIVEN TO THE DEALER, 50 MILES AWAY, I COULD HAVE LOCKED UP OR BURNED UP MY TRANSMISSION AND MAY HAVE LOST MY POWER STEERING AS WELL. WHEN I SPOKE WITH A 15 YEAR SERVICE TECH AT THE DEALER, HE SAID THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE & HAS BEEN FOR OVER 12 MONTHS. *TR

I NOTICED PINK LIQUID LEAKING ON 2006 CHEVY SILVERADO 3500 DIESEL, 46,000 MILES. I ONLY REALIZED IT WAS LEAKING (PINK FLUID) BECAUSE OF THE SNOW WE RECENTLY HAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTING IT TO BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP QUOTED $841.08 BEFORE TAXES TO FIX TRANSMISSION LINES. I INQUIRED ABOUT WARRANTY AND HE SAID IT WASN'T THE ENGINE. I DECIDED TO SEARCH ON LINE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WAS A PART OF THE POWERTRAIN AND FOUND MANY, MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. OF COURSE NO WHERE NEAR THE $ I WAS QUOTED. THE COMPLAINTS EVEN ARE HAVING THE SAME VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I JUST WANDER WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

"SERVICE 4WD" ERROR CODE SHOWS UP ON DASH DISPLAY WHEN DRIVING THROUGH MUD AND WATER PUDDLES, THE VEHICLE ENTERS 4WD BEFORE ENTERING THE MUD/WATER BUT GOES BACK TO 2WD AFTER BEING IN THE MUD/WATER FOR A MINUTE OR TWO, ALSO THE 4WD PUSH BUTTON LIGHT FLASHES WHEN CODE IS SHOWING. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE DRY OUT, THE "SERVICE 4WD" ERROR MESSAGE DOES NOT APPEAR. I NEED THE 4WD ALL THE TIME IN THE MUD, NOT WHEN IT FEELS LIKE WORKING.

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500'S REAR AXLE WAS CAUSING EXCESSIVE VIBRATION.

ALSO, WHILE DRIVING 45-50 MPH OR MORE THE VEHICLE VIBRATED, AND WHEN THE SPEED WAS 60-65 MPH THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE, AND VIBRATION CAME FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL ONLY VIBRATION FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE GM MANUFACTURER AND WAS GIVEN A CASE # 71-464-592-078.
