problem #2

Mar 222002

(reported on)

Silverado 3500 4WD Diesel

  • miles
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.

problem #1

Nov 012000

Silverado 3500

  • miles
When pressing on gas it does not engage, it is sticking in throttle body. When it did engage, it caused vehicle to take off at a rapid acceleration. Took to dealer, and they cleaned throttle body, and problem stopped for a couple of months, but it did not correct the problem.
