POWER TRAIN
SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS, THE VEHICLE NEARLY STALLS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP. THE TRANSMISSION IS IN THE WRONG GEAR AND THE ACCELERATION IS VERY LIMITED UNLESS THE GAS PEDAL IS PUSHED DOWN FULLY. THIS CAUSES A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION PARTICULARLY WHEN TURNING LEFT AT INTERSECTIONS AS THE VEHICLE WILL NEARLY STALL OR MOVE AT A VERY SLOW PACE.

THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS ARE TOTALLY INADEQUATE. WHAT FOLLOWS IS THE CONTENTS FROM TWO EMAILS SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE MANAGER.

COMMENTS IN THE EMAIL REFER TO BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING VEHICLE OBSERVATIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THIS ANOTHER STUPID GOVERNMENT MANDATE THAT PUTS PEOPLE AT RISK.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE PARKING BRAKE CABLE RUNNING FROM THE FOOT PEDAL TO THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME IN SUCH A WAY THAT IT WORE A HOLE THOUGH THE RUBBER CASING. THIS CAUSED THE INTERIOR METAL CABLE TO RUST. THE INTERIOR METAL THEN WOULD NOT MOVE FREELY THROUGH THE RUBBER CASING. WHILE DRIVING THE BECAUSE OF BUMPY ROADS WOULD CREEP UP AND ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING. THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN JULY OF 2012, BUT IT ONLY HAS 23000 MILE ON IT. I CALLED THE CHEVY DEALER AND HE INDICATED THAT THERE WAS NOT RECALL. I HAD MY MECHANIC REPAIR THE BRAKE. I HAVE INCLUDED THREE PHOTOS. THE FIRST IS THE BILL FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE CABLE. THE 2ND IS A LONG VIEW OF THE PART CHANGED. THE 3RD IS A MEDIUM VIEW OF THE PART REMOVED. THE 4TH IS A CLOSE UP OF THE PROBLEM AREA.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION DOES NOT DOWNSHIFT PROPERLY FROM UPPER GEARS (5,6) TO LOWER RANGE WHEN DECELERATING FROM 40 + MPH TO UNDER 20 MPH. VEHICLE WILL EXHIBIT LOSS OF POWER FROM BEING IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR RANGE, CAUSING "CHUGGING", AND THEN A SUDDEN BURST OF POWER AS YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. DEALER RESET ECM FOR TRANSMISSION; PROBLEM PERSISTS. TYPICALLY OCCURS ON RESIDENTIAL OR NON-FREEWAY STREETS, BUT HAS HAPPENED ENTERING A FREEWAY ENTRANCE RAMP.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
TRAVELLING I-270 IN DUBLIN, OHIO AROUND 2PM AT APPROXIMATELY 70MPH WHEN TRUCK ENGINE DIED. THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS AND RADIO WERE STILL OPERATIONAL. PULLED TO RIGHT SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP. THE BRAKES WERE LOSING POWER, BUT THERE WAS ENOUGH TO SLOW AND THEN STOP. DASH INDICATED 'REDUCED POWER'. UPON PULLING OFF ROAD, WIFE CONTACTED AAA, WHILE I LOOKED UNDER HOOD FOR ANYTHING OBVIOUS SUCH AS BATTERY TERMINALS LOOSE OR ANY PLUGS BEING UNPLUGGED. NOTHING APPEARED OUT OF ORDER, I GOT BACK INTO TRUCK AND IT STARTED. I TOLD WIFE TO TELL AAA WE WOULD ATTEMPT TO MAKE IT HOME, APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS AWAY. THROUGH THIS ALL, THE TRUCK HAD STOPPED RUNNING 6 MORE TIMES BEFORE WE GOT HOME. IT RESTARTED AFTER SITTING A FEW MINUTES EACH TIME.TRUCK WAS TOWED TO LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP. AFTER A FEW DAYS, RECEIVED CALL TRUCK WAS REPAIRED. THE PCM (POWER CONTROL MODULE) WAS REPLACED. WHEN I GOT INTO VEHICLE THERE WAS A SHEET OF PAPER ON TRANSMISSION HUMP EXPLAINING WHAT A REFURBISHED PART IS (NHTSA DOC#2). I GLANCED AT IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS MISTAKE SINCE I WAS CHARGED $500 FOR THE PART ALONE. TOTAL COST WAS $772.36 (NHTSA DOC#1). WHEN I GOT HOME I REVIEWED THE PAPERWORK, SAW THEY HAD INSTALLED A USED PART AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED. THEY SAID A NEW PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS (NHTSA DOC#4 & NHTSA DOC#5) AND THEY WERE NO HELP. I ALSO CONTACTED AC DELCO AND THEY CONFIRMED THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AS NEW. I THOUGHT MANUFACTURERS WERE REQUIRED TO MAKE PARTS AVAILABLE FOR VEHICLES 10 YEARS AFTER PRODUCTION STOPPED. THE TRUCK IS 10 YEARS OLD, BUT PRODUCTION OF THAT GENERATION STOPPED IN 2012.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
ON WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 24TH I WAS DRIVING HOME (NORTH ON I-75 IN MICHIGAN) FROM WORK, THE TRUCK HAD 2-3 INCHES OF SNOW ON TOP OF THE TRUCK AND TRUCK CAP BECAUSE IT CANNOT BE REACHED DUE TO THE HEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE. TRAFFIC WAS MOVING AT ~ 10 MILES PER HOUR DUE TO ROAD CONDITIONS AND MY WIPERS WERE ON (MEDIUM SPEED IF I RECALL CORRECTLY), TRAFFIC STOPPED SUDDENLY AND ALL OF THE SNOW FROM THE TOP OF THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY SLID FORWARD AND COVERED THE WINDSHIELD. AT THIS POINT THE WIPERS WERE ESSENTIALLY BURIED/ JAMMED DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF SNOW AND THE WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WHILE I WAS ON THE EXPRESSWAY. HAD THE CONDITIONS BEEN SLIGHTLY BETTER I COULD HAVE BEEN DOING WELL OVER 10 MILES AN HOUR AND THE RESULT WOULD HAVE ABSOLUTELY BEEN A COLLISION WHICH COULD HAVE INVOLVED MANY VEHICLES. IN THE PAST WIPERS WOULD ALWAYS CONTINUE TO MOVE BACK AND FORTH IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS UNTIL THE WINDSHIELD WAS EVENTUALLY CLEARED, MY WIPERS WOULD NOT EVEN ATTEMPT TO MOVE, FORTUNATELY DUE TO THE LOW SPEED I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE EXPRESSWAY TO CLEAR THE SNOW. I AM VERY CONCERNED TO DRIVE IN BAD WEATHER NOW DUE TO THE RISK OF A COLLISION AS WELL AS THE POTENTIAL RISK OF BEING ON THE SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY IN BAD CONDITIONS CLEARING THE WINDSHIELD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AS THE WINSHIELD WIPER MOTOR SHOULD NOT BE PROTECTED AT THE COST OF THE VEHICLE AND ITS OCCUPANTS!
