Chevrolet Silverado transmission problems

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE THE ENGINE BEGAN MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE WHICH PROCEEDED TO GET LOUDER. I PHONED MY DEALERSHIP AND THEY MADE AN APPT TO BRING IN THE VEHICLE FOR INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT THE VORTEC ENGINE MADE THAT SOUND AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. I DISAGREED AS IT DIDNT KNOCK WHEN I PURCHASED IT. THEY DID A TOP ENGINE CLEAN AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE. I DROVE IT TO WYOMING AND THE SAME DAY I PICKED IT UP IT WAS KNOCKING AND MISSING. I PHONED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN WHEN I GOT HOME AND GAVE ME GM CARES NUMBER IN CASE IT BROKE DOWN. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK IN AND THEY HAVE NOW HAD IT FOR 16 DAYS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REPAIR IT . I PHONED GM THEY SAID 1 OUT OF 4 VORTEC ENGINES HAVE THIS PROBLEM..THEY HAVE NO FIX FOR IT BUT I SHOULD GET AT LEAST 36 THOUSAND MILES FROM THE ENGINE. I TOLD THEM THAT WAS NOT ACCEPTABLE I PAID 28 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE TRUCK AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD GET AT LEAST 200 THOUSAND MILES ON THE ENGINE. THEY WERE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT NEVER DISCLOSED THIS TO ME. THE TRANSMISSION IS ALSO SPINNING IN GEAR. I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT AND AT THE GREEN LIGHT ACCELERATED BUT THE TRANSMISSION SPUN THEN JUMPED INTO GEAR AND ALMOST THREW THE TRUCK INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ALSO TOWING MY HORSE TRAILER THE TRANSMISSION DOESNT SHIFT PROPERLY.*AK

AFTER ONLY HAVING THIS NEW TRUCK FOR 2 DAYS THE TRANSMISSION WAS TAKEN OUT OF IT DUE TO A TICKING NOISE IN THE ENGINE. THE MECHANIC WAS ADVISED BY GM TO TAKE OUT THE TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE A FLYWHEEL. AFTER 2 WEEKS OF WAITING FOR A PART I PICKED UP MY TRUCK. THE NEXT DAY THE NOISE WAS BACK. I HAVE HAD 2 GM REPS LISTEN TO THE NOISE. THE SECOUND REP TOLD ME THAT IT WAS "ENTRAINED GASSES" AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO ABOUT IT. I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS TRUCK MAKING THE NOISE AND DO NOT WANT IT ANYMORE AFTER THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT.*AK

CONSUMER HAS HAD SEATBELT REPAIRED UNDER A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. BUT, CONSUMER IS CALLING TO REPORT THAT SAFETY BELTS LOCK UP AT ALL TIMES. DEALER HAS BEEN CONTACTED. THE LOCKING UP OF THE SEAT BELT SEVERELY RESTRICTS THE DRIVERS MOVEMENT, THE LOCK UP PROBLEM MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STEER THE VEHICLE AND MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO REACH THE TRAILER-BRAKE CONTROLLER UNIT, AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BACK UP, POSSIBLE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTION. CONSUMER CAN NOT GET THE RETRACTOR MECHANISM TO RELEASE. NLM

I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY TRANSMISSION INTERMITTENTLY SLIPPING WHEN STARTING TO ACCELRATE FROM A STOPPED POSITION. THIS OCCURS ON AN INFREQUEST BASIS AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK. GM HAS REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER WHO REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I THEN CONTACTED GM'S CORPORATE OFFICE AND I WAS ASKED TO BRING MY TRUCK IN AGAIN FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE KICKDOWN CABLE. THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS TODAY.*AK
