Consumer Description

COMPLAINT ON 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXTENDED-CAB. THE VEHICLE MADE A KNOCKING NOISE WHEN IT WAS FIRST STARTED OR AFTER BEING FULLY WARMED UP. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT GM WAS FULLY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THEY WERE IN THE PROCESS OF RE-DESIGNING AND MANUFACTURING A NEW CYLINDER PISTON FOR THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT SEEMED THE PISTONS WERE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT A COMBINATION OF A TIMING ADJUSTMENT OR DECARBON OF THE ENGINE OR VALVE ADJUSTMENT WOULD POSSIBLY TAKE CARE OF THE PROBLEM FOR THE TIME BEING, HOWEVER THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENGINE NOISE BECAME LOUDER. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THIS TIME HE WAS TOLD THAT GM STATED THE ENGINE NOISE WAS NORMAL. *JB
