DT: 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONSUMER STATES THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAS A SLIP IN IT AND IT STALLS. THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND IT CANNOT BE FIXED. THE VEHICLE HESITATES AND THEN CLANGS WHEN IT CATCHES INTO GEAR. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THEY NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THEY COULD MAKE A DECISION. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE APPROXIMATELY FEBRUARY 2005. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. *AK

WHEN COMING UP TO AN INTERSECTION, THE TRUCK FAILED TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, IN DRY CONDITIONS, WITH AMPLE STOPPING DISTANCE. THE TRUCK WAS REVVING AT A HIGH RPM, AND CONTINUED TO PUSH FORWARD WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. THIS RESULTED IN A ROLLING COLLISION. VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED WHEN SHIFTED INTO PARK. IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALERSHIP, AND GM. AFTER 2 DAYS IN THE DEALERSHIP THEY STATED NOTHING IS WRONG, AND WILL NOT INVESTIGATE ANY FURTHER. I WILL NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY LONGER AFTER THIS SCARY INCIDENT.*JB

DT: CONTACT OWNED A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER'S VEHICLE BEGAN TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WENT INTO PASSING GEAR CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISE. CONSUMER LET OFF THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO ANOTHER GEAR. WHILE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE GARAGE CONSUMER REALIZED THERE WAS NO REVERSE AND IT WAS SHIFTING ODDLY. THE SERVICE DEALER STATED THE TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE TO BE REPAIRED, BUT DID NOT KNOW THE CAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THERE HAD BEEN NO PREVIOUS PROBLEMS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION AND THE VEHICLE HAS MINIMAL USAGE. THE WARRANTY OF THE VEHICLE WAS FOR 3 YEARS/36,000 MILES, THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED.*AK
