There are irregularities in speedometer. *ak speedometer reads faster than actual timed speed, this causes fuel mileage to be false and consumer states it gets the manufacturer out of warranty faster. When ABS are applied, if the rear wheels encounter a bump, the rear brakes stay out of action putting all braking on front wheels.
1998 Chevrolet Silverado transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
In july of 2000 I purchased a 1998 chevrolet silverado, used, from a ford dealership. There was only a 30 day warranty. In the beginning of december the brakes went on the vehicle. The brakes and rotors were replaced. On december 24, 2000, without any notice whatsoever, while shifting the truck into reverse I noticed it would not move. I put it into drive and it moved. After having the truck looked at, it was determined that there was a problem with the transmission. When I called the dealership where the truck was purchased, I was told that it would cost approximately $2,000.00 to re-build the transmission. After only having the truck for six months, driving it 30 miles round trip to work, never using the vehicle as a plow truck and never misusing the vehicle I would like to know how a vehicle of this year could lose such a major unit and have no recourse on the part of the dealership or manufacturer, that it become the responsibility of the owner to correct such an expensive error.
While driving down the road vehicle shook and shimmied. Took vehicle to mechanic, and transmission/torque converter had to be replaced. *ak
