Chevrolet Silverado transmission problems

THE PROBLEM IS WHEN COMING TO A STOP (UNDER BRAKING) IF YOU DON'T COME TO A COMPLETE AND TOTAL STOP AND YOU DECIDE TO SWITCH BACK TO THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK FREE REVS FOR ABOUT HALF A SECOND AND THEN DUMPS THE TRANSMISSION IN GEAR. WHILE THIS HAS YET TO CAUSE ME ANY DANGEROUS PROBLEMS, I BELIEVE IT VERY WELL COULD IN THE RAIN OR ICE/SNOW. IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED FOR IT, SOMETIMES IT HITS HARD ENOUGH THAT FOR A MOMENT YOU'RE SOMEWHAT DISORIENTED, REPRESENTING A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF THERE'S OTHER TRAFFIC AROUND. *AK

ON 2/28/02, I REPORTED TO GM THAT MY 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WAS JERKING & BINDING WHEN THE VEHICLE ROUNDED CORNERS OR IN A 180-DEGREE TURN. A SERVICE MANAGER TOOK THIS VEHICLE FOR A TEST DRIVE BY HIMSELF IN THE PARKING LOT AND DID A COUPLE OF TURNS AND A 180-DEGREE TURN. HE ALSO FOUND THAT IT DID HAVE A JERKY OR JUMPING MOVEMENT AS IT WENT INTO THE TURN. THIS FRONT WHEEL BINDING MAY BE SOME TYPE OF DESIGN IRREGULARITY OR FLAW, WHICH OCCURS WHILE IN THE 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE. SINCE THE SERVICE MANAGER CONSIDERS IT A NORMAL CONDITION, AND NOTHING CAN BE DONE AT HIS LEVEL TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE, I BELIEVE THAT THIS IRREGULARITY SHOULD BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED. WHY, BECAUSE THESE ERRATIC MOVEMENTS COULD JERK, BIND, OR STOP THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED IF THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED AND THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. NOWHERE IN MY OPERATOR'S MANUAL, OR ON THE DASH IS THERE ANY STICKER WHICH IDENTIFIES THAT THIS VEHICLE WHILE IN A 4-WHEEL DRIVE MODE WILL JERK OR BIND WHILE TURNING CORNERS.*AK

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, CONSUMER RAN OVER A SMALL NAIL, CONSUMER STATED THE PUNCTURE WAS EXTREMELY SMALL THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE RUINED THE TIRE BEYOND REPAIR, CONSUMER STATED ON THE SECOND OCCASION A CHUNK OF THE TIRE CAME OFF, AS CONSUMER WAS DRIVING NO MORE THAN 43 MPH, AND ONCE AGAIN THE TIRE WAS DAMAGED BEYOND REPAIR, CONSUMER FEELS THAT TIRES SHOULD NOT BE RUINED UNDER SUCH SMALL CIRCUMSTANCES.(NO TIRE INFO GIVEN)*JB

RETURNED TO DEALER. THIS TIME THEY CHECKED THE NATIONAL COMPUTER AND FOUND THAT THE KNOCK SENSORS WERE OVERTORQUED AT THE FACTORY AND REPLACED THEM. WHY DIDN'T THEY CHECK THE NATIONAL COMPUTER WHEN THEY HAD THE TRUCK THE FIRST TIME? STARTED TRUCK UP IN AM 11/13-/2000 OIL LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED OIL, WAS FULL.

RETURNED TO DEALER. THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG. ON 12/05/2001 RETURNED TRUCK DUE TO TAPPING NOISE. THIS TIME THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO CASTROL OIL FILTER. THEY CHANGED OIL AND PUT ON PF59 FILTER. THOUGHT PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ENGINE STILL HAS LIFT NOISE ON COLD STARTUP. ALSO COMPLAINED OF TRANSMISSION DOUBLE SHIFTING. DEALER CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SO MANY TIMES THEY SHOULD EXTEND THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, BUT I KNOW THEY ARE AFRAID TO DO THAT. *AK
