About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The problem is that there is a part in the transfer case called a viscous clutch. That when it fails the vehicle will roll on any degree of an incline while in park. I have spoken to the Chevrolet hot line and several service writers, at several different dealerships. I have basically not recieved the slightest concern from anyone. This is a very serious problem. Who doesn't count on any car [with an automatic transmission] while in park not to roll. I hate to imagine the possibilites. Please consider this a serious problem. I will gladly make myself available to answer any questions. I would certainly hate to read about a accident due to this design over sight.
