Consumer Description

MY COMPLAINT IS REGARDING A KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM MY ENGINE OF MY 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE PISTONS ARE HITTING THE CYLINDER WALL OF MY ENGINE. I DO HAVE 140,000 MILES ON IT BUT THE PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT 3-4 YEARS AGO. THE REASON I DIDN'T COMPLAIN BECAUSE DEALERS HAVE ALWAYS SAID THAT IT WAS NORMAL. BUT FROM ONLINE FORUMS I HEAR THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. MY ENGINE HAS LOST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF POWER AND I THINK THAT IS THE REASON WHY. *JB
