POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT, TIRES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
AT 36,900 MILES I HAD THE REAR AND FRONT PINION BERRINGS REPLACED ON MY DRIVE TRAIN. I ALSO REPLACED THE TIRES WHICH WERE WORN OUT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVEN MUCH (4.5 YEARS OLD) AS INDICATED BY THE MILEAGE. I ALSO EXPERIENCED MY ACCELORATOR BEING "STIFF" WHEN I ATTEMPT TO DEPRESS IT. I THINK GM NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THEIR SHODDY TRANSMISSION COMPONENTS. I ALSO HAD THE REAR SEAL REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 10,000 MILES.*AK

SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:CONTROL UNIT/MODULE
THE SERVICE ABS LIGHT ON MY 1999 SILVERADO WENT ON, AND I NOTICED A HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I TRACED THE NOISE TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT. THE PUMP ON THIS UNIT WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. THE ONLY WAY TO STOP THE PUMP FROM CONTINUOUSLY RUNNING WAS TO REMOVE THE ABS FUSE WHICH DISABLES THE ABS BRAKING SYSTEM. I CONTACTED GM BUT THEY'RE ADVICE IS TO TAKE TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM OPERATING THE VEHICLE WITH ABS DISABLED.*AK

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE
VERY EXCESSIVE DRIVETRAIN CLUNK WHILE DOWN SHIFTING 3-2 GEAR, UPSHIFT 2-3 AND NOW IS GETTING WORSE AS 1-2 AND 2-1 ARE CLUNKING DUE TO EXCESSIVE DRIVE TRAIN FREEPLAY. THE PROBLEM IS AGGARVATED ROUNDING SLOW CORNORS, DOWN A GRADE OR WITH A LOAD. THE DEALER TRIED TO MADE ME BELIEVE I WAS HEARING THINGS AND EVERTHING IS FINE THE FIRST TIME IN, YET EVERYONE WHO RIDES IN IT ASKS "WHATS THAT BANGING". THE SECOND TIME IN THE DEALER FOR THE PROBLEM I GOT A TECH SERVICE BULLETIN, WHICH SAYS OWNERS MAY FIND THE CLUNK OBJECTIONABLE?? WILL NOT ADVERSELY AFFECT DURABILITY??? THERE IS NO WAY THIS DRIVETRAIN WILL LAST AS LONG AS A NONCLUNKER. THE DEALER WAS ALSO GOING TO GET ME AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR DRIVETRAIN, WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN. VERY FRUSTRATED CHEVY WON'T FIX IT. IF OWNERS FIND IT OBJECTIONABLE IT SHOULD BE FIX. *AK
