THE ENGINE EMITS A BIRD LIKE CHURPING NOISE IRREGARDLESS IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING OR IDLE. POSSIBLE GETTING LOUDER OVER TIME. CHEVROLET HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SINCE 2/1/02. STILL NO FIX.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A PARKING SPACE IN A HOUSING AREA, PLACED IN PARK, AT THE TIME THE IGNITION WAS ABOUT TO BE TURNED OFF. THE CAR TOOK OFF AND FLEW OVER THE PARKING BARRIER, OVER A HEDGE AND INTO A TREE. THE CAR SIDE SWIPED A POLE WHICH DEMOLISHED THE ENTIRE LEFT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE CAR CAME TO REST AGAINST A TREE, STRIKING THE LEFT FRONT. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN PARK, THE REAR WHEELS WERE STILL SPINNING, WHEN THE DRIVER WAS FINALLY ABLE TO TURN OFF THE KEY, GET OUT AND SEEK HELP. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK EITHER.*AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:PARK/NEUTRAL START INTERLOCK SWITCH
THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN PARK, BEFORE THE CAR COULD BE SHUT OFF. THE CAR TOOK OFF SPINNING THE REAR WHEELS, JUMPED OVER A CONCRETE PARKING STOP AND OVER A SMALL HEDGE INTO A TREE, WHEN THE CAR HIT THE TREE THE CAR CONTINUED TO SPIN THE REAR TIRES (WHILE IN PARK) UNTIL THE KEY WAS SHUT OFF. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE, THE CAR HAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE, THE COMPUTER SHOWED TO SERVICE VEHICLE SOON WHEN STARTED, PREVIOUS DAY THE VEHICLE WAS FILLED WITH GAS AND THE GUAGE WENT CRAZY AND THE DASH LIGHTS BLINKED OFF AND ON WHILE BEEING DRIVEN ON THE FREEWAY. THE VEHILCE HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE STEERING LOCKING TWICE, ONCE BY MAIL, ONCE THE STEERING DID LOCK UP AND HAD TO BE TOWED INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR 72HRS OF REPAIR, SOUNDS LIKE A LIE, BUT THIS REALLY HAPPENED, I AM AFRAID THE CAR HAS A MALFUNCTION IN THE COMPUTER AND IT WILL KILL SOMEONE IF FIXED AND DRIVEN AGAIN. *AK REF.
