  TRAVELING AT ABOUT 45 MPH WITH ABOUT 3 TO 4 CAR LENGTHS BETWEEN US, TRAFFIC IMMEDIATELY AND ABRUPTLY STOPPED. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL ONLY TO FIND IT HARD AND RIGID WITH LITTLE RESPONSE. THE TRUCK SLOWED BUT WOULD NOT STOP. I REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. RESULTING IN SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK AS WELL AS THE OTHER CAR, ALSO A TICKET FOR ME. THE TRUCK DIDN'T SLIDE, JERK OR ANYTHING, JUST GRADUALLY SLOWED TILL IMPACT. I DRIVE A TRACTOR-TRAILER THAT HAS BETTER BRAKING RESPONSE. *TR

ONCE THE VEHICLE DID ENGAGE, IT WOULD ACCELERATE RAPIDLY AND UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN RELEASING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE VEHICLE WOULD DECELERATE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000. .. UPDATED 02-07-13 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE ON SNOW COVERED AND SLIPPERY ROADS. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN OR A CORNER, THE SUDDEN UNCONTROLABLE ACCELERATION IS DANGEROUS. NOT BEING ABLE TO DECELERATE THE ENGINE USUALLY CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL.

• 12/01/2013· STRUCTURE,LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES

  AFTER UNLOCKING THE MANUAL DOOR LOCK ON THE TRUCK THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. THE LOCK WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE INTERIOR LOCKING MECHANISM, EFFECTIVELY TRAPPING ME IN MY VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME I UNROLLED THE WINDOW AND USED THE KEY IN THE OUTSIDE DOOR TO TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, BUT THE LOCK WAS JAMMED AND I WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE USING EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OR LOCKS OR THE DRIVER DOOR. I WAS FORCED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN AFTER RAINFALL OR A CAR WASH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, CAR FIRE OR WATER CRASH OR OTHER EMERGENCY THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM BEING TRAPPED IN THEIR VEHICLES. IT IS ALSO NOTABLE THAT CONSUMER REPORTS HAS LISTED "LOCKS AND LATCHES" AS A COMMON PROBLEM AREA FOR A 2009 SILVERADO. I CONTACTED A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED FULLY COVER THE REPAIR COST, WHICH WAS WELL OVER $250 AND THEY STATED THAT THE "DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE". THE CORPORATE GM PHONE CALL CENTER WAS NOT HELPFUL AND TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE FULLY COVERED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS JUST OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. *TR

  YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS WITH THE HANDLE FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK IF DOORS ARE LOCKED. PULLING ON HANDLE WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UNTIL YOU USE THE UNLOCK BUTTON. IF YOU ARE IN A CRASH YOUR INSTINCT WOULD BE THE USE THE HANDLE NOT TO UNLOCK IT FIRST. *TR

  MY 2009 SILVERADO 2500HD SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY, HIT A BUMP AND IT GOES OUT, COMES ON AGAIN MANY TIMES DURING DRIVING. I CAN MOVE THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE DASH AND DUPLICATE THIS ISSUE. THE CHEVROLET DEALER SAYS THAT I MUST LEAVE THE TRUCK THERE BECAUSE IT WILL BE LENGTHY IN TROUBLESHOOTING WHICH WILL BE COSTLY ACCORDING TO THEM.

• 11/13/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  FUEL LEAKING/SPRAYING OUT OF THE REAR AUXILIARY FUEL TANK. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I OBSERVED THE RAW FUEL WAS COMING OUT OF THE FUEL MODULE CONNECTING FUEL LINE. THE METAL FUEL LINE SITS IN A WELL OF THE REAR TANK AND WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH DIRT/MOISTURE/RAW FUEL. THE TANK WAS REMOVED AND WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE METAL PORTION OF THE FUEL MODULE METAL PIPING WAS RUSTED THRU AND THAT WAS WHERE THE RAW FUEL WAS BEING SPRAYED/POOLING IN THE WELL AREA. THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK & MODULE CREATES A PERFECT LOCATION FOR DIRT/MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE. ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FIRE AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. THE REMOVED ORIGINAL FUEL MODULE WAS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE ROTTED METAL PORTION OF THE MODULE. I REPLACED THE ROTTED FUEL MODULE WITH A NEW GM OEM FUEL MODULE. THIS NEW MODULE HAS THE SAME EXACT CONSTRUCTION AS THE ORIGINAL PART. SINCE THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO CLEAN OR KEEP CLEAN THE WELL AREA OF THE TANK, I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE NEW OEM PART WILL DETERIORATE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 34000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE CONDITION OCCURRED. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE NEW MODULE COSTS FOR LABOR AND PARTS WAS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00. IN CONCLUSION I THINK THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVING RAW FUEL BEING EJECTED FROM THE FUEL TANK UNDER PRESSURE WHILE THE PUMP IS RUNNING.

• 10/31/2015· ENGINE

  WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 SILVERADO AT 33,000 MILES I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE #7 CYLINDER WAS NOT WORKING. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE AFM FOR THE 5.3 LITER ENGINES HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. HALF OF THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CARBON BUILT UP INSIDE THE ENGINE. AGAIN AT 78,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS TO AND DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP AND A ENGINE SOAK WAS PERFORMED ALONG WITH SPLASH GUARDS ADDED TO THE VALVE COVERS TO KEEP THE ENGINE OIL FROM ESCAPING AS THE AFM WAS OPEARTIONAL. AT 98,000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, AT 140,000 MILES THE WATER PUMP, CRANK SHAFT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REBUILD THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MILEAGE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND STARTED USING FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL SINCE MY ENGINE ISSUES AT 33,000 MILES. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE AFM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING. I CONTACT GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY STATED THAT MY TRUCK HASN'T BEEN SEEN AT A DEALERSHIP IN OVER A YEAR, THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINE. BUT, THEY WILL GIVE ME A $1,000 CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW VEHILCE. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, GM JUST TURNS THERE HEADS ON THE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND EXPECTS YOU TO PAY FOR A NEW GM VEHICLE. GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT!!!!
