THE PROBLEM I AM CONTACTING YOU ABOUT IS UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AFTER SELECTING REVERSE. I BROUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN TO MY SELLING DEALER 13 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. GM WAS APPARENTLY AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND CALLED IT AN "IDLE FLARE-UP". WHEN THIS VEHICLE HAD IT'S "IDLE FLARE-UP" IT WOULD SUDDENLY SURGE BACKWARDS 6 INCHES TO 6 FEET, DEPENDING ON THE SEVERITY OF THE "FLARE-UP" AND HOW QUICKLY I COULD GET THE VEHICLE STOPPED.SOMETIMES IT WOULDN'T DO IT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, THEN IT WOULD DO IT 5 OR 6 TIMES IN ONE DAY.GM ENGINEERING HAD THE DEALER PERFORM 3 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION REPAIRS TO ATTEMPT AND CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. A GM ENGINEER EVEN CAME OUT AND DROVE THE TRUCK ONCE, COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE CONCERN, (HENCE THE TERM "INTERMITTENT"), AND THEN DECLINED TO RECOMMEND A BUYBACK OR TRADE ASSIST. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT PERHAPS I WAS MAKING THIS UP TO GET RID OF THE TRUCK. I AM A LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR, DURING MY BUSIEST TIME OF YEAR, WASTING TIME AND ENERGY ON THIS MATTER. FURTHERMORE , IT HAS COST ME THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO GET RID OF THIS CHEVY AND PURCHASE A NEW FORD. GM HAS A PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF WITH THEIR 6.5 POWERTRAIN AND REFUSES TO ADDRESS IT.

I NOTICED A VEHICLE APPROACHING AND FLASHING HIS HEADLIGHTS. THINKING SOMETHING WAS WRONG I SLOWED DOWN. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I ROUNDED A SHARP CURVE AND FOUND A VERY LARGE TREE HAD FALLEN FULLY ACROSS THE TRAVELED PORTION OF THE HIGHWAY. I WAS ONLY ABLE TO GET AROUND IT BY LEAVING THE ROADWAY. AFTER SUCCESSFULLY NEGOTIATING THIS OBSTACLE I PROCEEDED ON MY WAY. AFTER TRAVELING ANOTHER HALF MILE I MET ANOTHER CAR WHICH I WAS UNABLE TO WARN BECAUSE OF MY HEADLIGHTS ALWAYS BEING ON DUE TO THE DRL FEATURE. THIS UNWARNED VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND COLLIDED WITH THE TREE. RATHER THEN BEING A SAFETY DEVICE I FEEL, AS A RESULT OF MY EXPERIENCE, THAT DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS ARE A HAZARD AND SHOULD BE BANNED!! *NM.Mileage was 198000 miles.

CHEVROLET K3500 1998 Safety Review #10457557

CHEVROLET K3500 1998 car safety problem was reported on Apr 09, 2008.CHEVROLET K3500 1998, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . 98 CHEV K3500 WITH 6.5 TURBO DIESEL WOULD STALL AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. ENGINE SOMETIMES WOULD RESTART WHEN VEHICLE PUT IN NEUTRAL OTHER TIMES IT MAY TAKE SVERAL MINUTES. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE ENGINE WOULD HICKUP THEN BEGIN TO ACCELERATE ON IT'S OWN DESPITE REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE PEDAL. I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION OFF TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND REGAIN CONTROL. SOMETIMES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO RESTART ENGINE IT WOULD EITHER OVER REV OR THE RPM'S WOULD SURGE UP AND DOWN SEVERELY. ON ONE OCCASION, AS I SLOWED TO STOP AT A SIGN BEFORE PULLING OUT ONTO A 4 LANE ROAD THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN LAUNCHING ME OUT INTO THE ROAD NARROWLY MISSING ON COMING TRAFFIC. ANOTHER TIME WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AT MY BANK, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED, JUMPING THE CURB AND GOING INTO THE BUSHES ON THE LAWN! I HAVE HAD THIS TRUCK INTO NUMEROUS GM DEALERSHIPS AND INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOPS AND HAD THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP REPLACED AND NUMEROUS PUMP DRIVER MODULES, PMD'S MADE FOR GM BY EITHER STANADYNE AND D TECH AND HAD THEM MOUNTED ON A REMOTE HEAT SINK FOR COOLER OPERATING TEMPS. THIS IS A SEVERELY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHICH CAUSES LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND POTENTIAL CRASHES! I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE WITH 2 DIFFERENT GM VEHICLES I OWN WITH THE 6.5 TURBO DIESEL ENGINE. *TR.Mileage was 92500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1GCHK39F8WE. Chevrolet K3500 1998 problem was reported in PRIOR LAKE, MN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 8 CYLINDERS. FUEL SYSTEM:Turbo.
