Transfer case/differential,service 4x4 lights keep coming on, brakes, shocks, bumper pad falling off, transmission clunking noise, would not start. Goes into four wheel drive on its on. Very dangerous when this happens. Was told by gm that there was no fix. Dealer has put several parts on including reprogrammed module in transfer case, replaced differential case and gear kit, brake pedal would go to the floor, dealer replaced left front shock because of leaking fluid onto rotor, clunking noise from forward to reverse was told this was normal, engine cranks but does not start, towed in, dealer replaced body control module. This truck has less than 9,000 miles on it. The four wheel drive system ( transfer case) the dealer is just guessing that they have fixed the problem. Was told that my truck was a tester to see if they could fix the transfer case problem. What could go wrong next!.

4 wheel drive makes a grinding/growling noise and binds the vehicle to a stop with only a slight turn of the wheel. This did not happen until 17,000 miles on the vehicle and continues to worsen as time goes by. Chev 2001 Silverado 1500 4wd.

Every time when taking off, something in the transmission or transfer case makes a loud audible noise. The truck makes a sudden jerk (when accelerator is applied) all is good during operation. When I stop again the whole process is repeated. Maybe the noise is coming from rear end possibly.

Front wheels will not pull in 4wd caused by premature wear and slipping of clutch discs in front transfer case. Wearing on the clutch discs even continues while in 2wd. Soulution is an expensive overhaul of the front transfer case.

4 wheel drive becomes non operative and the dash light turns off and message service 4 wheel drive comes on. The vehicle has been to the dealer 4 times and they cannot fix it.

The drive train shudders excessively when switched into auto four wheel drive. I noticed this prior to the end of the warranty period but just forgot about taking it in for warranty service as I just stopped using the auto four wheel feature. It started at or about 30,000 miles, the truck has 66,000 now and I am sure the dealer won't listen to me, just my wallet. I'll put this to the test next week on my vacation.

Transmission seemed to be in neutral after stopping and applying brake then accelerating. Dealer picked up with wrecker. When wrecker arrived, condition could not be duplicated. Dealer has valve body ordered to replace in transmission. Second problem: rear leaf springs shift causeing a knock when going up uneven grades or speed bumps. Third problem: looseness in transfer case and rear axle cause a clunk when downshifting to stop and sometimes when transmission shifts. Dealer claims normal. Large aluminum driveshaft transfer sound. Just excuse for poor quality product. This clunk or knock also sounds when rear axle moves on uneven grade with axle shifting and driveshaft stationary.

Setting on hill in park &4-wh. Lotrans. Made noise rolled off hill. Wrecked, transfer case in neut. After wreck.

Truck has been at dealer for repair total of 35 days before 1st anniv. Of ownership with over 20 separate problems, 5 of which are unresolved to this date.

Worst and current problems are front end alignment (pulls to right), front brake squealing (pads replaced twice, rotors turned once), rear end vibration at any speed and clanking sound over bumps(all 4 tires, both rear leaf spring stacks, all 4 shocks replaced. One shock had broken shaft) , engine backfires & knocks at startup (dealer reprogrammed comp. W/no results except to improve power, but accel. Pedal sticks now!), trans. Slips from dead stop for few seconds about once per week, 4wd transfer case slipped in low in deep snow (replaced fluid and did reprogram. Results??), ext. Cab pop out windows replaced due to poor fit (one exploded upon removal & dealer had to repaint side of truck. New ones are no better than originals!), rear seat missing rubber mounts(dealer replaced, but now seat makes popping noise due to rear cab wall flexing!), drive shaft makes loud clanking sound when shifting from park(dealer says this normal!). Problems repaired: rear brake line loose & in harms way(missing mount replaced), steering box loose and steering column rattled and loose around any turns(box tightened and column shaft replaced), drivers side window switch sticking in down posit.

The vehicle has the automatic four wheel drive, once it was applied the brakes stopped working. The vehicle was serviced and the problem still continued.

Consumer stated while traveling with 4-wheel drive on and without any indication two wheel drive would engage, resulting into poor tracking.
