Power Train Driveline Problems of Chevrolet Silverado

The information displays 4wd service constantly. In addition, the 4wd selection buttons show the 4wd to be in "n-neutral" or "no-lights displayed" when the truck is in motion and under power, and in "4l-4 low" with the truck sputtering erratically, but definitely not in 4l. All without being selected. So far I have discovered if I select "auto" the 4wd service light does not display. This issue is recurring and has been "repaired" previously by a dealership.

Chevy Silverado 2007, the transmission jerks when stopped at a light. As if someone has bumped you from behind. It takes several seconds (5-20) for it to occur. This is the same problem I read by another member. My "07" Silverado does the same thing. This problem started at about 20,000 miles. Truck has been to the shop 3 times, 1st they lubed the axle, 2nd they replaced the driveshaft yoke, 3rd time 1 week later they couldn't duplicate the problem . So now the problem still exist. I will be taking it back to see what`s next.

My 4 wheel drive pickup has shifted from 2 wheel drive to low 4 wheel drive without command. It is now in the shop for the third time for the same problem. This could be deadly at high speeds. I am awair of one truck of the same make and model that crashed into a ditch when this happened.

I have a clunk noise in the transmission. I have taken my vechicle to the dealer many times they said there is no fix for this problem. They handed me a document id# 1430424 and will not fix they truck.

When driving at any speed consumer heard a popping noise coming from the driveline. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.

Drivetrain "clunk or thunk" as the dealer called it. I have a 2000 chevy Silverado z71 4x4 truck. I noticed the clunking about 2 weeks after owning the truck. The dealer replaced the yoke but the problem still persisted. The tech acknowledged the problem but said it was normal for a 4-wheel drive. That is wrong, I have talked to many people that have 4x4 trucks and they do not have this sound when stopping and starting. I have talked with people that own 1999-2001 chevy's and most of them have this clunking. My motor also knocks when it is started. The dealer tech said as long as the knock stops in a given time, that is also normal. In cold weather it knocks right up to the time limit, so nothing can be done about it. If you try to drive it shortly after this time, the condition is worse. Again, the tech said that is normal. This is the same on the 1999-2001 trucks. This is outrageous for a $30,000 vehicle to have these types of problems. I am afraid there will be failures after the warranty period is up. There is a bulletin from Chevrolet that says these things are normal so I am assuming any chevy dealer will say the same thing.

Consumer stated that a leak in the transfer case after 36,000 miles caused driveline to lock up. This happened at 49,000 miles.

Vehicle drivetrain makes 3 noises - #1 - cracking noise when shifting forward to reverse. #2 - clunking noise when slowing and then re-accelerating. #3 - when upshifting & downshifting vehicle drivetrain clunks.

Very excessive drivetrain clunk while down shifting 3-2 gear, upshift 2-3 and now is getting worse as 1-2 and 2-1 are clunking due to excessive drive train freeplay. The problem is aggarvated rounding slow cornors, down a grade or with a load. The dealer tried to made me believe I was hearing things and everthing is fine the first time in, yet everyone who rides in it asks "whats that banging". The second time in the dealer for the problem I got a tech service bulletin, which says owners may find the clunk objectionable?? will not adversely affect durability??? there is no way this drivetrain will last as long as a nonclunker. The dealer was also going to get me an extended warranty for drivetrain, which didn't happen. Very frustrated chevy won't fix it. If owners find it objectionable it should be fix.

We've had this drivetrain vibration almost since the truck was purchased. Gm service dept. Has replaced 1 tire because they couldn't balace it. All the other tires have been rebalanced, all 5 tires have been rotated. The truck had the rear end parts replaced due to some type of failure. We've had the truck to gm's service dept. Several times for the vibration problems. We went through the bbb to have gm buy back which we lost. Gm refuses to do any more vibration related work on this truck. The truck also has the firestone steeltex a/t lt 245/75 r 16 tires, and I've asked our local gm service dept. If these tires are on the recall list, which they don't have an answer for. Sooner or later there is going to be vibration related parts failure and hopefully not at hwy speeds. Our truck is not the only truck with these problems. Gm has these problems with the '99,2000 and 2001 truck lines which they won't/can't fix. Please help us us and all the other people with the $30,000 lemons. Thank you.

Driveline - transmision or driveshaft or rear end has exteame slack. Vehicle hesitates when taking of in forward or reverse causing the vehicle surge (or jump forward or backward)creating a situation that is unsafe, seriously imacts the driveablity and dramatically reduces the value of the vehicle. When the vehicle is "cold" this problem does not "show as bad as it does after the vehicle is driven for 30 minutes or so. The dealers service department (ron hue mgr. ) will not acknoledge the problem although the dealers sales manager (jeff sauer, sales mgr. ) did drive the vehicle and has acknoledged that the problem exists. This problem is one that is at it's worst when trying to park or menuver in tight spaces. A $32,000 truck should not do this and the manufacturer should do whatever it takes to fix the problem! after numerous trips to the dealer and countless phone calls - nothing has been done!! please help!!.

Owner took truck to have suspension lifted. In doing so, mechanic placed faulty rear shock mounts on truck, which broke while driving. After repairs were done on shocks,driveline started vibrating. Mechanic did a partial repair of driveline, not resolving failure completely. Please describe details.
