ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
THE PISTONS IN THE ENGINE ARE KNOCKING. THE DEALER STATES THEY CANNOT HEAR THE NOISE WHICH IS QUITE OBVIOUS AND GETTING LOUDER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND STILL IT IS NOT CORRECTED. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BBB, CONGRESSMAN, ATTY GENERAL, IN HOPES TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE TO PREVENT THE LOCUP OF THIS ENGINE. IF THE ENGINE WERE TO LOCKUP AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSATE THERE COULD BE A BAD ACCIDENT. THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS EVEN A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO THE PROBLEM HTTP://WWW.GMPISTONSLAP.CJB.NET/. THANK YOU.*AK

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL, POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT
ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS, ENOUGH SO, THAT I BECAME APPREHENSIVE TO ACCELERATE IN A PARKING SITUATION, SO THAT I WOULD LET THE VEHICLE PICK UP SPEED ON ITS OWN UNTIL I WAS OUT IN AN OPEN AREA. THE DEALER HAS "CLEANED " THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY ON EACH OCCURRENCE. AFTER THE LAST SERVICE HE CHARGED $65.00 FOR THIS SERVICE. UPON CHECKING YOUR WEBSITE I SEE THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED SITUATION. I FEEL THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS POTENTIALY DANGEROUS PROBLEM, AND THAT A "FIX" SHOULD MADE AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. IN REGARD TO THE SECOND PROBLEM, I WAS VERY SURPRISED, AND DISAPPOINTED WHEN $1500 IN REPAIRS WAS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THE RING AND PINION ASSEMBLY IN THE REAR END. THE SERVICING DEALER IN ALL OF THESE INCIDENTS WAS NOT THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM, BUT IT WAS TOM GIBBS CHEVROLET,BUNNELL, FL . (386) 437-3314. *AK
