2 Gasoline Engine problem of the 2001 Chevrolet 1500

Failure Date: 01/01/2002

Parking brake hasn't worked since around 20000 miles, brake will depress, but won't keep truck from rolling. Loud piston slap, knocking from engine mostly when engine is cold, goes away after warmed up. This is a z71 and the 4 wheel drive buttons do not work all the time when trying to put into 4 wheel drive. Power mirrors don't work a lot of the time. At least one of the front running lights stay burned out most of the time. Truck is out of warranty now but these problems have existed for a long time. A lot of other trucks of this same model have all the same problems. Gm should address these problems and make them right at no cost to the consumer.

5 Gasoline Engine problem of the 1998 Chevrolet 1500

Displeased with auto transmission, problem #1, when the transmission shifts from 2nd into 3rd gear it will shift with a very uneasy noise ( like the transmission has a problem shifting into 3rd, this will not happen all the time and the truck can be cold or at normal running temperture for the transmission to shift uneasy. The dealer this problem has been on going for years and their are trying to come up with a quick fix to fix this issue without having to replace my transmission, they did tell me that gm has already replace and rebuilt alot of transmission in the united states for this problem. I have been told by the sales rep. That sold me the truck that he has a flyer from gm with a statment just to the dealer's about this problem. Problem #2 while driving the truck between 41 to 45 mph the truck will shake cause from the transmission and engine not working together, I went to my local Chevrolet dealer and had there service garage drive the truck and he said this was cause from the engine running a 1000 rpm while driving between 41 to 45 mph and if I didn't like the shaking of the truck, to drive it in 3rd gear and not overdrive so to allow the engine to run at a higher rpm. I paid almost $30,000. 00 for this truck, I feel as if I been burnt gm and the term "let a rock" means let a rock like "nogo".
