Consumer Description
THE PISTONS IN THE ENGINE ARE KNOCKING. THE DEALER STATES THEY CANNOT HEAR THE NOISE WHICH IS QUITE OBVIOUS AND GETTING LOUDER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND STILL IT IS NOT CORRECTED. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, BBB, CONGRESSMAN, ATTY GENERAL, IN HOPES TO HAVE SOMETHING DONE TO PREVENT THE LOCUP OF THIS ENGINE. IF THE ENGINE WERE TO LOCKUP AT 70MPH ON THE INTERSATE THERE COULD BE A BAD ACCIDENT. THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS EVEN A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO THE PROBLEM HTTP://WWW.GMPISTONSLAP.CJB.NET/. THANK YOU.*AK
