ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL BE RUNNING WITH NO ABNORMAL SOUNDS, SMELLS, LEAKS BUT WILL ACT AS IF NOT IN GEAR. RPM'S WILL REV BUT TRUCK WILL NOT MOVE. ONLY AFTER PUTTING TRUCK IN PARK (LOTS OF GRINDING NOISES) THEN PRESSING THE 4WHEEL BUTTON THEN BACK TO 2WHEEL (SOMETIMES THROUGH TWO CYCLES) THE TRUCK WILL BACK INTO GEAR AND OPERATE PROPERLY. TOOK IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP PUT IT ON THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE AND NO ERROR CODES WERE GIVEN TO GIVE REASON WHY THE TRANSFER CASE DISENGAGES RANDOMLY. REPLACED THE TRANSFER SWITCH PER SHOP RECOMMENDATION "JUST IN CASE"IT WAS OKAY FOR ABOUT A MONTH THEN ONCE AGAIN ISSUES STARTED AGAIN JUST THE SAME AS BEFORE.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND IN ONE PLACE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT HOUSING. CHECKING ONLINE FORUMS IDENTIFIES THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET DASHES. THIS CREATES A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION AS THESE PIECES COULD BECOME PROJECTILES. AT THIS POINT CHEVROLET IS NOT OFFERING TO FIX THE ISSUE.

THE INTERIOR DASH COMPONENTS HAVE CRACKING PROBLEMS. MY TRUCK NOW HAS A BROKEN CLIP WHICH IS A SIGN THE WHOLE THING IS ABOUT TO CRACK LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. ONCE IT CRACKS THESE PRICES CAN BECOME PROJECTILES IN AN ACCIDENT. I UNDERSTAND THE TRUCK IS 5 YEARS OLD BUT MY CONCERN REPLACING THE DASH IS THAT GM HAS NOT USED A NEW MATERIAL AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS AGAIN AND AGAIN.

INTERIOR DOOR PULL DISINTEGRATING MORE AND MORE EACH DAY WITH NO WAY TO REPLACE JUST THIS PULL HANDLE. IT IS MADE WITH VERY CHEAP WHITE PLASTIC. EVENTUALLY THE DOOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CLOSE BY USING THIS HANDLE AND YOU WILL END UP HURTING YOUR HAND USING ANOTHER PART OF THE DOOR TO CLOSE.
