2008 Silverado ltz-44.000 mi. Upon stopping veh. Engine wouldn't stop when I applied the brakes, placing engine in neutral RPM, S went to 3X100, place back in drive it drop into normal zone. I nearly collided with a veh. In front of me also ran a red light at another time as engine got a life of its own. Chevy dlr inspd same said a pip had been issued for faulty throttle carbon build up. Repair same to no avail. This happens not all the time. So far Chevy is unresponsive. This is a dangerous situation.

I have a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado crew cab that makes clanking sound when the transmission shifts into third gear. I went to the local dealership and was told that this is "normal for this truck". the truck has less than 16,000 miles on it. The mechanic told me that he was "surprised that it had not started making this noise sooner". it has become progressively louder and can be heard with the windows down. Coincidentally, this is the same sound the truck started making a few months ago when I would take off at a stoplight/stop sign. I could feel a pause and then it would clank and start to move. Again this can be heard with the windows down. I went to the dealership at that time and was told "this is normal operation". now the truck clanks when taking off from a stop and when it shifts into third gear.
