ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
2002 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH A 4.8L ENGINE KNOCK, FROM WHAT GM SAID IS PISTON SLAP. THEY SAID THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. THEY SAID THEY SEND OUT A LETTER OF WARRANTY FOR SIX YEARS OR 100,000 MILES, IF ENGINE FAILS DUE TO THE PISTON SLAP/KNOCK. I THINK THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. THERE COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS, SUCH AS ENGINE FAILURE ON THE INTERSTATE. WE THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT BE TOLD TO DEAL WITH IT, WHEN PAYING UP TO 30,000 DOLLARS FOR A NEW VEHICLE, THAT HAS A PISTON KNOCK. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED, NOT COVERED UP.

PARKING BRAKE
ALTHOUGH THE TRUCK IS RATED TO TOW 9000 LBS THE PARKING BRAKE WILL NOT HOLD MY 7000 POUND TRAILER FROM ROLLING DOWN THE HILL FORWARDS OR BACKWARDS. MY 3000 LB BOAT ROLLS BACKWARDS INTO THE WATER AT A BOAT LAUNCH. THE PBRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. TWO DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERS HAVE SEEN THE TRUCK. THE FIRST DEALER ADJUSTED THE BRAKE AND IT WAS BETTER, THE SECOND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THAT THEY COULD DO. IT STILL ROLLS WITH A TRAILER ON IT. THE DEALERS SAID THAT THE LOW RESISTANCE PBRAKE IS A DESIGN FEATURE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
I TOO HAVE THE PISTON SLAP PROBLEM WITH MY 2002 SILVERADO HD 6.0L ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AT ABOUT 2400 MILES AND WAS HANDED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN THAT WAS DATED FROM 1999 (PROBLEM HAS BEEN KNOWN SINCE THEN) TELLING ME THAT GM IS WORKING ON A "FIX". THEY DID WANT TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK TO MAKE SURE NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG. THERE IS NO "FIX", JUST AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE ALONE EVEN THOUGH I ALREADY PAID FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. YOU CANNOT GET THE WARRANTY AGREEMENT MAILED TO YOU TO LOOK IT OVER, THEY WILL ONLY SEND IT IF YOU AGREE TO ACCEPT IT OVER THE PHONE. BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN GOOD FAITH AND WAS SOLD A LEMON. MAYBE IF THEIR PROFITS WERE AFFECTED BY A RECALL THEY MIGHT THINK TWICE ABOUT STEALING AND LYING TO CONSUMERS. *NLM

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
PROBLEMS WITH THROTTLE BODY STICKING. *MR THE IDLE WAS ROUGH, THEREFORE THE THROTTLE BODY WAS ADJUSTED. THE VEHICLE KNOCKED LOUD ON COLD START. THE CONSUMER WAS UNSURE IF THE PROBLEM WAS THE THROTTLE BODY OR THE PISTON SLAP. THE THROTTLE BODY WAS CLEANED AND DID NOT STICK AT THAT POINT. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FREE OF CHARGE UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED. SCC
