| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1. i bought a used "certified" 2500 hd silverado with 33000 miles on it. i have owned it abut three months. on three separate occasions i have noticed the transmission slip or "hesitate" when accelerating from a stop. the engine will rev but the car does not move. when i let off the gas i can feel it shift suddenly and the car will move. 2. i noticed a whining sound in the transmission when it is in gear. chevrolet service department tells me it is common on my truck and there is nothing they can do about it, it is the plenary. the sound is louder and continues throughout the entire driving range. it began at about 35000 miles. the service rep stated they had a service announcement on it, but i have not seen that yet. 3. about three weeks after i bought the truck, i noticed a clicking and grinding sound when the brakes were applied lightly. first time in the dealer could not find anything. second time in they found the left rear axle seal leaking and replaced that. the third time in they adjusted the brakes so that it was almost impossible to apply light break pressure. after a couple of days of use the brakes loosened up some and now the clicking and grinding noise is back and it is more noticeable with even a little heavier pressure on the brakes. i will be scheduling a return trip for this and the whining sound in the transmission, but gm seems to take the approach that if it is "functioning" don't repair it. *jb |
