2006
POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I NOTICED PINK LIQUID LEAKING ON 2006 CHEVY SILVERADO 3500 DIESEL, 46,000 MILES. I ONLY REALIZED IT WAS LEAKING (PINK FLUID) BECAUSE OF THE SNOW WE RECENTLY HAD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP EXPECTING IT TO BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. DEALERSHIP QUOTED $841.08 BEFORE TAXES TO FIX TRANSMISSION LINES. I INQUIRED ABOUT WARRANTY AND HE SAID IT WASN'T THE ENGINE. I DECIDED TO SEARCH ON LINE BECAUSE I THOUGHT THE TRANSMISSION WAS A PART OF THE POWERTRAIN AND FOUND MANY, MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM. OF COURSE NO WHERE NEAR THE $ I WAS QUOTED. THE COMPLAINTS EVEN ARE HAVING THE SAME VEHICLE IN MULTIPLE TIMES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I JUST WANDER WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK
ON OUR 2002 CHEVROLET C3500 LIGHT TRUCK I NOTICED A DETERIORATION IN BRAKE PERFORMANCE OVER TIME. WE PULLED THE REAR WHEELS AT 37,000 MILES AND FOUND THAT THE REAR BRAKE CALIPERS HAVE NOT BEEN ENGAGING THE BRAKE PADS WITH THE REAR ROTORS. THE REAR ROTORS HAVE SEVERELY CORRODED AND NOW THE CORROSION IS TEARING THE PADS APART. WE HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS TYPE AND POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO LIFE AND SAFETY.
