Consumer Description

CHEVROLET HAS DENIED THAT THEIR 99 AND 00 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIER NEW ENGINES. I KNOW OF NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS WHO HAVE THIS PROBLEM WHICH CHEVROLET ACKNOWLEDGES AS A NORMAL SOUND. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THE TRUCK CAN NOT BE FIXED BECAUSE THE NEW ONES MAKE THE SAME NOISE. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER COMPRIABLE TRUCKS AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE ENGINE PING/KNOCK. THE DEALER ALSO SAID THAT THE NOISE WILL EVENTUALLY GO AWAY, BUT I HAVE SEEN TRUCKS WITH 19000 WITH THE NOISE CONTINUING. THIS PROBLEM COULD INCREASE EMMISIONS IF IT IS INDEED A PING/KNOCK. IF THIS PROBLEM PERSISTS WITH NO FIX FROM CHEVROLET, I COULD HAVE ENGINGE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE PING/KNOCK THAT WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
