THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN CONSTANT SINCE I HAVE FIRST OWNED MY TRUCK. THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I AM AT A STOP (I.E. INTERSECTION) THE TRUCK WILL CONTINUE TO SURGE FORWARD TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE TO SHIFT INTO NUETRAL, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPT. AND RECEIVED 3 DIFFERENT ANSWERS WITH ONE TELLING ME THAT CHEVY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY YET. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I AM LOOKING FOR SOME DIRECTION ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. *AK

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
WHEN PLACED IN 4WD MODE THE TRUCK MAKES A GROANING/MOANING NOISE AT APPROX 9 MPH ON. IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED THE TRUCK JERKS AND SHUDDERS. THIS HAPPENS ON DRY PAVEMENT AND SHEET ICE, WE DRIVE ON BOTH A LOT UP HERE IN ALASKA. I HAVE A LOT OF PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH 4X4 VEHICLES AND THIS IS ABNORMAL TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE CONTACTED GMC. THE SERVICE MGR TOLD ME THAT HE HAD TALKED WITH A "BOB" AT "TAN" AND GOT NO ASSISTANCE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS NORMAL FOR ALL 4X4 TRUCKS. THE DEALER AGREES WITH ME THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE IS THE THIRD TRUCK IN THE LAST FEW WEEKS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, ALL WITH NO HELP FROM GMC. THE DEALERS SOLUTION IS TO NOT USE 4WD UNLESS ABSOLUTELY VITAL. BUT 4WD IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL DRIVING ON THE ROADS HERE IN ALASKA MOST ALL WINTER, AND PART OF SPRING. THE ERRATIC CONTROL FEEL IS VERY BOTHERSOME AND I BELIEVE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE! *AK
