Chevrolet Silverado transmission problems

RECEIVED LETTER FROM GM REGARDING POSSIBLE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. WHEN IT DID COME ON SEVERAL TIMES, WENT TO DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR ON GM. A MONTH LATER, AT FREEWAY SPEEDS TRANSMISSION FAILED AND WENT TO NEUTRAL, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT WITH SEVERAL TRUCKS. LIMPED HOME AFTER SEVERAL OCCURRENCES OF SAME THING BY STOPPING AND TOTALLY RESTARTING AND MOVING ON UNTIL ANOTHER FAILURE. (APPROX. 15 TIMES) WENT TO DEALER AND GM NOW REPLACED THE INJECTOR PUMP ASSEMBLY. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE HOME, PARKED IT FOR 5 DAYS AND THEN STARTED IT UP THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T ENGAGE AND THEN SUDDENLY "CLANKED" INTO GEAR AND THEN DISENGAGED INTO NEUTRAL. STOPPED ENGINE, RESTARTED AND THEN DROVE TO DEALER, WHO SAID GM WOULDN'T PARTICIPATE, SAYING IT WAS NOW TRANSMISSION PROBLEM AND NO LONGER WARRANTED. THE DEALER INSTALLED A DRAIN BACK KIT IN THE TRANSMISSION AT MY EXPENSE. THE DEALER HAD A BULLETIN FROM GM REGARDING THIS VERY PROBLEM. IT IS MY CONTENTION THAT THE ENGINE (FUEL PUMP REGULATOR, INJECTOR PUMP ASSEMBLY) PROBLEM PUT EXSESSIVE PRESSURE UPON THE TRANSMISSION AND THE COMPUTER KICKED IT INTO NEUTRAL CAUSING THE FAILURE OF THE DRAIN BACK, REQUIRING A MODIFICATION KIT. I CONTACTED GM, EXPLAINED THE SITUATION AND THEY FLATLY REFUSED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE REPAIR.*AK

THE SUPPORT CABLES THAT RETAINED THE TAILGATE BROKE WHILE LOADING A SNOW TRAILER, WHICH CAUSED THE TAILGATE TO COLLAPSE. NO INJURIES TO REPORT. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO WEIGHT RESTRICTIONS POSTED FOR THE CAPACITY OF THE ENDGATE. THE CONSUMER WAS LOADING A CRAFTSMAN 5 HP COMPACT SNOW THROWER 165 LBS ON THE TRUCK. THE SELLING DEALER OFFERED TO COVER THE COST OF REPLACING THE BROKEN CABLES AT THEIR EXPENSE. THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SELLING DEALERSHIP BUT EVERYTHING TO DO WITH GENERAL MOTORS THE PRODUCER OF THE MATERIALS USED IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THIS VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT HE REMOVED THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN FOR FLUID DRAINAGE. A TRANSMISSION FILTER THAT WOULD FIT THIS VEHICLE AS ORDERED FROM THE SELLING DEALER WOULD NOT WORK WITH THE TRANSMISSION OIL PAN ORIGINALLY INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAD TO PURCHASE THE CORRECT TRANSMISSION FLUID PAN THAT SHOULD HAVE COME ON THE VEHICLE. *TC

A CLUNK SOUND EMANATES FROM THE DRIVELINE OF MY 2004 SILVERADO MOSTLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND FROM 3RD TO 2ND. THE CLUNK ALSO OCCURS BETWEEN NO ACCELERATION AND ACCELLERATION WHILE IN 2ND GEAR. OCCASIONALLY THE NOISE OCCURS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR. THE PROBLEM BEGAN AT APPROXIMATELY 2000 MILES. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS I NOW APPROACH 20,000 MILES. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT A DRIVELINE FAILURE OR DAMAGE TO DRIVELINE COMPONENTS DUE TO REPEATED TORSIONAL IMPACTS.*AK

I HAVE A 2000 SILVERADO WITH 4.8 & A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. STARTED HEARING NOISE WITH CLUTCH DISENGAGED & IN NEUTRAL. DEALER SAYS BEARINGS IN TRANS ARE SHOT . VEHICLE HAS ONLY 67,000 MILES. I'VE CHANGED THE FLUIDS RELIGIOUSLY ON THIS VEHICLE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING. I NEVER HEARD OF A MANUAL TRANS FAILING THIS EARLY. DEALER SAYS THAT SOMETIMES YOU GET A BAD ONE. *JB

WHILE BACKING UP THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK BACK AND SURGE. TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP CHANGING RMP UNLESS IT WAS TAKEN OUT OF REVERSE, PUT INTO NEUTRAL THEN PUT BACK IN REVERSE. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *BF THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. (2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD WITH AND ALLISON 1000 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). *NM

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, SOME LOUD SOUND. CAN'T GO IN REVSERSE AT ALL. I ONLY HAVE 42000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT SHIFT INTO 1ST GEAR CORRECTLY, AND HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING INTO HIGH GEARS, AND THE RPM STAY HIGH RUNNING IN THE TRUCK. NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. CHEVROLET DEALER THAT I BOUGHT IT FROM CALL THE 800 NUMBER FOR GM AND THEY ARE PAYING FOR THE OVER 3000 PAYMENT FOR A NEW TRANSMISSION. SINCE IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BROKE AT THAT TIME. GIVE ME A BREAK. I WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER GM CAR IN MY LIFETIME.*AK
