About 1 month after buying a new 2004 Silverado it started surging viloently when cold. It is inconsistant, sometimes lasts for blocks. I almost got rear ended last week while tryig to control the truck. GM refuses to do anything, saying there is no diagnosis codes set and they have never heard of Silverado`S surging. They class it as a feature and say I need to feather the clutch. Feathering the clutch in traffic is a good way to get killed. This has been going on about 4 months now. I believe they know what is wrong and it is happening with more then just my one truck; but they don't want to spend the money to fix it.
