POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
ALLISON TRANSMISSION PROBLEM: WHILE IN OVERDRIVE WITH A TOWING LOAD GOING UPHILL, THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT IN OR OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO INCREASE SPEED UP TO THE DANGER ZONE OF 3300RPM . THE VEHICLE WAS CHECKED BY THE LISTED DEALER, WHOM NOTED THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAS NO CORRECTION AVAILABLE FOR THE DOWNSHIFTING AND ENGINE RACING IN OVERDRIVE. THIS COMPLAINT IS TO REGISTER THIS OBSERVATION WITH MY VEHICLE.*AK

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
ENGINE MAKES LOUD "TICKING" NOISE WHEN WARM AT IDLE. GM STATES NORMAL CONDITION. NOT ALL DURAMAX DEISELS MAKE THIS NOISE. IT CANNOT BE NORMAL. GM HAS NO INTEREST IN PURSUING. ALTHOUGH THIS MAY NOT BE A SAFETY ISSUE, UNLESS THE ENGINE EXPLODES AS A RESULT, IT STILL IS VERY DISHEARTENING THAT GM WILL RELEASE THE PRODUCT WITH BUGS AND THE CUSTOMER IS FORCED TO ACCEPT.*AK

#758087February 11, 2002
VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:INTERIOR
THE INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR HAS A DISTORTION PROBLEM. ONLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIRROR IS THE VIEW CLEAR. BUT WHEN THE VIEW IS IN THE TOP PART OR BOTTOM PART OF THE MIRROR, THE DISTORTION TAKES PLACE. THE DISTORTION IS IN THE FORM OF SEEING DOUBLE VISION. THE BEST WAY TO NOTICE THIS IS AT NIGHT WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE IS NO CLOSER THAN 100 FEET BEHIND YOU AND YOU LOOK AT IT THROUGH THE INTERIOR REARVIEW MIRROR. PUT THAT VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS AT THE TOP AND AT THE BOTTOM PART OF THE MIRROR AND YOU WILL SEE FOUR HEADLIGHTS INSTEAD OF TWO HEADLIGHTS. EVEN IN THE DAYTIME, IF YOU LOOK CLOSELY AT THE VEHICLE BEHIND YOU, YOU WILL SEE A DOUBLE IMAGE OF ITS ROOF VIA A FAINT LINE. I HAVE REPLACED MY MIRROR AT THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THE SECOND ONE IS EVEN WORSE. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM QUALITY CUSTOMER SERVICE. I KNOW OF ANOTHER 2002 CHEVY SILVERADO OWNER WHO ALSO HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS PROBLEM PROBABLY EXISTS ON MOST OF THEM. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CALL ME. I AM WILLING TO DEMONSTRATE MY VEHICLE TO YOU SO YOU CAN SEE HOW SERIOUS A PROBLEM IT IS. THANK YOU!. *AK
