2002 GMC Sierra review from North America
"Sad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Engine has a very loud knocking sound when cold from day one. Dealer and GM says it's normal. It's not normal for a truck that cost 28,000 to make this kind of noise.
General comments?
Transmisson makes a very loud winning or howling noise when gradually getting up to approximately 30-35 mph Noise starts at about 28 mph and stops at 35/37. The noise reoccurs when slowing down or stopping. When slowing down the noise will start at about 25 mph and sometimes continue right down to zero, but not always. The truck is 39 months old, but has only 34,500 miles on it. Dealer says GM most likely won't handle it and they don't know where to start to find the noise. Any help?
