| Build Years/Makes/Models: | 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO |
| Occurances: | |
| Reference Number: | 748569 |
| Summary: | ON 3 OF THE ONLY 4 OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT 70 MPH FOR ANY EXTENDED PERIOD WHEN OUTSIDE TEMPERATURES EXCEEDED 90, THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS HAVE MANIFESTED: LOUD ENGINE KNOCK SUFFICIENT TO SHAKE VEHICLE AND DISCHARGE OF LARGE CLOUD OF GRAY (NOT THE BLACK AS IS TYPICAL FOR A DIESEL) SMOKE. NUMEROUS CARS HAVE DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD BEHIND ME TO AVOID THE CLOUD OF SMOKE THAT OBSCURES THEIR VISION (AND POSSIBLY TO AVOID PARTS FROM A MOTOR THEY MAY THINK HAS BLOWN UP). VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY AT KING CHEVROLET, TYLER, TEXAS FOR 2ND TIME (NOT SELLING DEALER) AND HAD BEEN AT ONE OTHER DEALER; LEWIS CHEVROLET, CANTON,TEXAS. PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. DEALERS SAY THAT GM TECHNICIANS SAY PROBLEM IS UNIQUE - NO OTHER OWNERS HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM. PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED TO GM WHICH HAS ASSIGNED THE COMPLAINT FILE #4913340. AT TIME OF THIS FILING, IT IS UNKNOWN WHAT, IF ANY ACTION GMC INTENDS TO TAKE. I REGARD THESE SYMPTOMS AS POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS TO OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE. I REGARD THE LARGE AND SUDDEN EXHAUST DISCHARGES AS BEING SERIOUSLY HAZARDOUS TO OTHER MOTORISTS.*AK |
