2006 Chevrolet Silverado

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT 20 MPH, THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY FAILED AND COULD NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 126,000.

MY TRUCK AT SPEEDS AROUND 35MPH WHILE LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR IT WOULD JUMP OUT OF GEAR. SO THEN, IN 2012, I HAD THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR MOTOR REPLACED AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEN JUST YESTERDAY (OCT. 31, 2014) I HAD CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70MPH AND WHEN IT WOULD COAST OR TRY TO SLOW ITSELF DOWN TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED, I WOULD HERE A CLUNKING NOISE AND IT WOULD JERK. WHEN I LET OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL AND WOULD LET IT ROLL TO A STOP IT WOULD POP OUT OF GEAR! I MADE IT BACK TO TOWN AND EVEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS IT WOULD JUMP OUT OF GEAR TO THE POINT WHERE I HAD TO PUT IT IN 4WD HIGH TO BE ABLE TO MOVE. I SPOKE WITH A MECHANIC AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HE SAID THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THEM LIKE MINE WHICH IS WHY I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME ATTENTION BROUGHT TO THEM. *TR

WE PURCHASED A CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUP IN 2006. MY HUSBAND HAS BABIED THIS TRUCK, NEVER PULLED ANYTHING HEAVY AND HAS RARELY HAD IT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IN DECEMBER 2009 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED ACTING UP, THE TRUCK AT THIS TIME HAD 20,400 M/L MILES ON IT AND NOT MUCH MORE AT THIS TIME, YES TWENTY THOUSAND FOUR HUNDRED. THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AS IT WAS 3 YEARS OR 36,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP BILL ROBERTS CHEVEROLET THAT WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK WAS IN BOLIVAR MO 60 MILES FROM US, THE WARRANTY WAS OUT SO WE HIRED A LOCAL MECHANIC TO DO THE JOB FOR US. HE IS A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND HAS DONE WARRANTY WORK FOR A FORD DEALERSHIP IN APPLETON CITY MO AND OTHER DEALERSHIPS IN THE AREA. WE KNEW THAT IF WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WOULD COST US MORE THAN HAVING IT DONE LOCALLY AND MY HUSBAND DID NOT WANT TO HAUL IT 60 MILES OR ANY MILES TO BE REPAIRED KNOWING THAT WE HAD NO WARRANTY AND NO TRAILER TO HAUL IT ON.. I FELT LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED WITH THE LOW MILES ON THE TRUCK AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. I SPOKE TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT WHO INFORMED ME THAT SINCE WE TOOK IT SOMEWHERE ELSE OTHER THAN THEM THAT WE COULD NOT BE HELPED BUT HAD WE BROUGHT IT TO THEM THEY COULD HAVE HELPED OUT WITH IT DUE TO THE LOW MILES, EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY WAS UP. NOW A WARRANTY IS A WARRANTY AND IS BLACK AND WHITE, APPARENTLY THERE IS ALSO GRAY, WHICH WE AS CONSUMERS ARE NOT AWARE OF. SO HOW WERE WE TO KNOW TO TAKE IT TO THEM UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. HOW WERE WE TO KNOW THAT THERE WERE GRAY AREAS IN THE WARRANTY AS IT WAS NOT LISTED AS SO. WE PAID ALMOST 1500.00 FOR THIS TO BE REPAIRED OUT OF OUR OWN POCKET. I WORK 2 JOBS SO THANKFULLY WE HAD THE MONEY BUT IF I WASN'T IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FINANCIAL BURDEN ON US, ESPECIALLY AT CHRISTMAS TIME. MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN HIS VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR RECALLS TO BE REPAIRED, THEY HAVE A LOG OF THE MILES LISTED AT THOSE TIMES, AND HAS FAITHFULLY KEPT IT SERVICED. *TR

THE INFORMATION DISPLAYS 4WD SERVICE CONSTANTLY. IN ADDITION, THE 4WD SELECTION BUTTONS SHOW THE 4WD TO BE IN "N-NEUTRAL" OR "NO-LIGHTS DISPLAYED" WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION AND UNDER POWER, AND IN "4L-4 LOW" WITH THE TRUCK SPUTTERING ERRATICALLY, BUT DEFINITELY NOT IN 4L. ALL WITHOUT BEING SELECTED. SO FAR I HAVE DISCOVERED IF I SELECT "AUTO" THE 4WD SERVICE LIGHT DOES NOT DISPLAY. THIS ISSUE IS RECURRING AND HAS BEEN "REPAIRED" PREVIOUSLY BY A DEALERSHIP. *TR
