| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The manual transmission on my 2006 chevrolet silverado 1500 has a problem. when the clutch is pressed you can not shift, or it is very difficult to shift gears. and the dealers service department says chevrolet designed all standard transmission vehicles to work this way. they say there is not anything to fix. i believe that since the transmission is hard to shift the transmission could wear out too fast, or and this is my big fear, the transmission could fail while the truck is being driven and a accident could happen, or the truck could break down in an unsafe place or time. i have had the truck in the service department at the dealer many, many times. the service advisor agrees that the truck doesn't shift like any standard transmission he has driven either. yet, the official word is that this is normal, and there is nothing to fix. he says all the manual transmission silverado trucks shift this way. how dangerous!!! if someone is driving and needs to shift, yet the engine will not shift, there could be a wreck, the trucks transmission could fail, and leave a person stranded in a very dangerous part of town. i have the extended warranty, however, what comfort is that, if the trick has been designed for failure. this problem shortens the life of the truck. *nm |
