80% OF THE TIMES THAT YOU ATTEMPT TO MOME FROM A STOP THE ACCELLERATOR HANGS UP AND YOU HAVE TO EXERT TREMENDOUS PRESSURE ON THE ACCELLERATOR PEDAL TO BREAK IT LOOSE.

5.3L ENGINE DEVELOPED A KNOCK AT APPROX 17000 MILES. COMPLAINT MADE TO GM DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT "GM IS AWARE OF PROBLEM AND WORKING ON A FIX". GM NOW CLAIMS IT IS NORMAL ENGINE NOISE AND NO FIX REQUIRED. IF IT'S NORMAL WHY DON'T ALL THE 5.3'S DO IT ? GM HAS ISSUED ME AN "EXTENDED COMPONENT WARRANTY" FOR THE ENGINE ONLY FOR AN ADDITIONAL 2 YEARS AND 64K MILES AFTER EXPIRATION OF FACTORY 3/36. IF THEY WON'T FIX UNDER WARRANTY NOW WHAT GOOD IS AND EXTENDED WARRANTY?? GM NEEDS TO RESOLVE THIS ENGINE PROBLEM NOW BEFORE CUSTOMERS START SEEING ENGINE FAILURES AND ABNORMAL OIL USAGE BECAUSE OF IT. NHTSA, AS WELL AS STATE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICES NEEDS TO MAKE GM RESOLVE THIS ISSUE OF CONSUMER FRAUD FOR NOT HONORING THE WARRANTY AND TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE.*AK

HE CHECKED THE VEHICLES MILEAGE AND TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE TRUCK HAS 23,300 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND FALLS WITHIN THE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER DEALER WARRANTY , I SHOULD TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER FOR REPLACEMENT TIRES. I CALLED THE DEALER AND INFORMED HIM WHAT THE FIRESTONE DEALER TOLD ME. THEY SAID "BRING THE VEHICLE TO BARTON BIRKS SO THAT THEY CAN INSPECT THE TIRES AND IF THEY AGREED ON REPLACING THEM, IT WOULD TAKE TWO TO THREE WEEKS TO ORDER THE TIRES".

ALSO, MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION OCCASIONALLY GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC, OR WILL NOT ENGAGE UPON PUTTING IT IN 'DRIVE', BUT THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DUPLICTE THE PROBLEM, SO THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIX IT.

SINCE WE PURCHASED THE TRUCK WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS TROUBLES WITH THE SEATBELTS LOCKING UP AND GETTING TIGHTER UNTIL WE HAVE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND RELEASE THE BELT BUCKLE. MOST TIMES IT HAPPENS TO THE REAR SEATBELTS AND FROM TIME TO TIME THE FRONT SEATBELTS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE PROBLEM STARTS WHEN DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD OR A FROST HEAVE AND THE SEATBELTS LOCK UP. WE'VE TRIED TO GENTLY PULL ON THE SHOULDER STRAP TO LOOSEN THE BELT, WE'VE TRIED TO JERK ON THE SHOULDER STRAP AND THE ONLY THING THAT WILL LOOSEN THE BELTS IS PUSHING THE RELEASE BUTTON. IF WE DRIVE OFF ROAD TO OUR CAMPING AREA(WE DON'T NEED TO USE 4 WD) THE BELTS HAVE GOTTEN SO TIGHT THAT THE RELEASE BUTTON WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO RELEASE. WE FACE THE PROBLEM OF WHETHER OR NOT TO USE THE SEATBELTS WHEN DRIVING OFF ROAD. WE HAVE TO STOP EVERY 5 MINUTES OR SO TO RELEASE THE SEATBELTS WHEN OFF ROADING. SINCE WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN IN THE REAR SEATS THEY MUST STAY BUCKLED IN. EVEN DRIVING DOWN GRAVEL ROADS WHICH IS ALMOST A DAILY OCCURRENCE LIVING IN OUR AREA OF ALASKA, IT'S A ROYAL PAIN TO HAVE TO STOP AND UNBUCKLY THE BELTS. WE'VE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WE ALWAYS GOT THEIR STANDARD ANSWER "CANNOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER CONCERNS AT THIS TIME" THEY FINALLY TOLD ME TO BRING THE TRUCK IN WHEN THE BELTS ARE LOCKED UP SO THEY CAN SEE THE PROBLEM. SO WE DID VISIT THE SERVICE DEPT WITH 3 BELTS LOCKED UP AND THEY TOLD ME "NO PROBLEM, WE'LL ORDER NEW BELTS

FRONT TIRES STARTED TO SHOW NOTICEABLE WEAR, CAUSE COULD HAVE BEEN THAT THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT. THEY ROTATED THE BACK TIRES TO FRONT AND REALIGNED THE FRONT END.
