problem #1

Sep 162005

Silverado 3500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 10,000 miles
The locking rear axle on my Chevrolet Silverado 2500hd does not release when entering a turn or intersection from a stop, causing the vehicle to continue forward and fight steering in the proper direction. I have had several near head on collisions with opposing traffic upon finally completing the turn. Chevrolet inspected the rear axle and installed a lubricant additive at approximately 10000 miles but the problem still exists. I have spoken with other owners of the same make, model, and year vehicle who have similar problems.
