ONGOING PROBLEM FOR ROUGH IDLE, FROM THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. SEVERAL DEALERS TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL, ANOTHER SAID IT WAS PROBLEM WITH THE 5.3 LITER; HOWEVER, NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. FUEL INJECTORS HAVE BEEN CLEANED SEVERAL TIMES. NOW VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY. AFTER VEHICLE IS UP TO OPERATING TEMPERATURE AND IS SHUT OFF AND REMAINS FOR APPROXIMATELY HALF HOUR, UPON RESTARTING, VEHICLE "TUMBLES." I CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO PROVIDED ME WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE AND THEY HAVE "WASHED THERE HANDS" OF ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THEY MAY OCCUR. MY COMPLAINT IS THE ROUGH IDLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT, AND NOW THE "TUMBLING" IS BEING CAUSED AS A RESULT OF THE PRIOR PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SERVICE NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY CHEVROLET. DO ANY SERVICE BULLETINS EXIST FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM AS THIS? FILE #1-89542103 & 1-89542103. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WAS ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WAS ADDRESSED WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. NOW, TCC VALVE IS STICKING CAUSING A DELAYED GEAR ENGAGEMENT. AGAIN, SORRY BUT YOUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. *LA

MY 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH 75000 MILES TRANSMISION WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM 2ND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR. THE 3RD AND 4TH GEAR PLATE IS BURNED OUT BECAUSE CHEVY MAKES THIS PART OF A PLASTIC RESIN INSTEAD OF A ALUMINUM PLATE.
CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 102, "TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER SEQUENCE, STARTER INTERLOCK AND TRANSMISSION BRAKING EFFECT." UNDER CERTAIN VEHICLE STARTING CONDITIONS, THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER MAY NOT ILLUMINATE. IF THE SHIFT LEVER POSITION INDICATOR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE, THE DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHICH GEAR THE VEHICLE IS IN.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE VEHICLE MAY MOVE IN AN UNINTENDED DIRECTION RESULTING IN POSSIBLE INJURY TO OTHERS OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.
