• 12/11/2015· POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  UPDATE OF NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10809089. THE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS INCREASED TO THE FOLLOWING OBD CODES: P0010, P0122, P0202, P0233, P0335, P0455, P0340, P1682, P2089 AS WELL. AT THIS POINT THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING LEFT ON THE VEHICLE THAT DOES WORK. SINCE THE RECALLS AND TECHNICAL BULLETINS ALL APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN "COMPLETED" FOR THIS VEHICLE I GUESS I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO REPEATING THE SAME PROBLEMATIC REPAIRS AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME THAT I OWN THIS VEHICLE WHICH DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE RESOLVED BUT MERELY BAND AIDED AWAY UNTIL THEY REAPPEAR. EVEN THE DRIVERS DOOR SWITCHES ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS RELATED TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS THE MATTER HAD FORCED CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO FAIL WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONSUMERS SAFETY NOR FINANCIAL BURDENS. IT APPEARS THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH MOST ARE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS AND GROUNDING ISSUES AS MANY TECHNICIANS ARE REPORTING. AT THIS POINT THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE TOTALED.

• 12/08/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING POORLY AND THROWING MANY CODES (EVAP, STABILITRAK, ABS, CAM, IGNITION, INJECTION, AND EVEN THROTTLE ERRORS FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALSO BEEN BUMPING (NOT SLIPPING) IN 2ND GEAR UNDER LOAD. YESTERDAY THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD (UP AND DOWN) JUST BEFORE THE MESSAGE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND THE "STABILITRAK CAME ON AGAIN. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I AM TOWING A 30' TOW BEHIND CAMPER WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS HAS EFFECTED EVERYTHING FROM MY FUEL ECONOMY, HANDLING AND NOW EVEN BASIC OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. STABILITRAK HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THE REPAIR FACILITY HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE ECU/ECM IS THE MOST LIKELY CULPRIT AND THEREFORE IT IS BEING REPLACED BECAUSE I WILL NOT PLACE MYSELF NOR ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD INTO HARMS WAY NOR DO I WANT TO END UP A STATISTIC OF ANOTHER MANUFACTURER KNOWN DEFECT.

  SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN JUNE 2013, I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE WHEN THE TRUCK SITS WITHOUT BEING USED FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WHEN I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSIONS SLIPS. THE TRUCK WON'T MOVE FOR A SECOND, THE ENGINE RPM'S RACE AND THEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CATCHES, IT WILL ACTUALLY SQUEAL THE TIRES. THEN AT TIMES IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A DISTANCE, AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME THE TRUCK IS USED. I'VE TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HE SAYS THEY'VE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH OTHER TRUCKS. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PICK UP THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HAVE HIM WITH ME WHEN I START MY TRUCK TODAY AFTER IT HAS SET FOR FOUR DAYS. I HOPE IT DOES THIS WITH HIM IN THE VEHICLE SO HE CAN FEEL WHAT'S HAPPENING. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CHEVY OWNER FOR OVER 30 YEARS BUT I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS TRUCK WHICH COSTS $45,000. *TR

MY CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 WENT INTO A COMPUTER SHUT DOWN.BEING A SKILLED PROFESSIONAL DRIVER , WITH A CLASS A CDL I JUST MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER BEFORE TRUCK SHUR DOWN, TRUCK AND TRAVEL TRAILER I WAS TOWING NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO ED BOZARTH GM DEALER.ON MONDAY I WAS INFORMED WOULD NEED TO PAY $ 775 TO DETERMINE POINT OF FAILURE. AT THE TIME A COMPANY CALLED SPEEDCO WAS AND MAYBE SUSPECT AS TO CAUSE. THE DID A OIL CHANGE AND FUEL FILTER IN W. MEMPHIS AR. THIS SERVICE WAS DONE ON JULY 24,2015. ON JULY 25,2015 TRUCK NO START, SPEEDCO CAME OUT WITH ANOTHER FUEL FILTER. WHEN FIRST FUEL FILTER TAKEN OFF , THERE WERE NO GASKETS. HOWEVER GM APPEARS TO BE CONCELING MATERIAL FACTS AS TO INTERNAL SERVICE BULLETINS. THIS BULLETIN AS TO POINT FAILER WAS PRINTED AUG 3, 2015 , 5 PAGES . A ESTIMATE BY SAID DEALER WAS GIVEN TO SPEEDCO AND MYSELF IN THE AMOUNT OF $ 8,692.02. WHEN THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP WENT , SENT METAL SHAVINGS THOUGH MY WHOLE SYSTEM ENGINE, FUEL OIL, COOLING SYSTEM ECT. GM HAS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM FOR A LONG TIME, HOWEVER FAILED TO DISCLOSE TO ITS CUSTOMERS. IN MY OPINION TO ALLOW FOR WARRANTY TO EXPIRE. ONCE SPEEDCO WAS PRESENTED WITH SERVICE BULLETIN THEY BACKED DOWN FROM PAYING. GM HAD PROVED TO SPEEDCO THAT GM IS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE CONTACTED GM IN DETRIOIT MANY TIMES WITH DIFFERENT CASE NUMBERS. ONE PHONE CALL I GOT FROM GM , STATED THE ORIGINAL ESTIMATED STATED ABOVE WAS FAR LOW. WHEN I ASKED HOW MUCH, STATED TO ME COULD NOT SAY HOWEVER MUCH HIGHER. I'M IN POSSESSION OF A LOT OF DOCUMENTATION. I HAVN'T SCANED THE DOCUMENTS YET. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN OCT. OF 2013 FOR $ 56,000, BANK FINANCING.

• 10/13/2014· ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING

  THE 2013 SILVERADO TRUCK I OWN HAS A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO HIM. THIS IS CAUSING CONCERN TO ME THAT THE TRUCK MAY BE A FIRE HAZARD SINCE THE EXHAUST GETS SO HOT THAT IT POPS LOUDLY AS IT COOLS OFF. OTHER TRUCKS DO NOT MAKE THIS MUCH NOISE IF ANY. I AM GETTING MORE AFRAID THAT THE TRUCK MAY CATCH ON FIRE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS SINCE JAN. 2014 TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AS OF TODAY, OCT. 13, THERE IS STILL ISSUES WITH THE EXHAUST. *TR

  APRIL, 2013 - TRUCK WAS PARKED OUT SIDE, AND I LEFT FOR A 70 MILE TRIP EARLY IN THE MORNING, AFTER THE DEW HAD FALLEN. JUNE, 2013 - A TROPICAL STORM SWEPT THROUGH THE AREA, DUMPING TONS OF RAIN; CAUSING THE HUMIDITY TO RISE A FEW HOURS LATER AS WELL AS CAUSING EVERYTHING TO BE MOIST/WET. BOTH EVENTS WERE EITHER IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OR IN THE EVENING AFTER THE SUN WENT DOWN, AND INVOLVE WETNESS/MOISTURE, HUMIDITY, AND THE INABILITY TO "DRY" THE WINDSHIELD. PROBLEM: THERE IS A "CONDENSATION FILM" THAT FORMS ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS BEING MORE MOIST AND HUMID THAN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. USUALLY, WHEN TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER, THIS WILL "DRY" THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKE THE CONDENSATION FILM GO AWAY. HOWEVER, THE DEFROSTER ON THIS MODEL DOES NOT "DRY" THE WINDSHIELD ON THE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER) OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE DEFROSTER ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE LEFT. THERE IS A CONSTANT CONDENSATION FILM THAT FORMS AND REMAINS. THE WIPERS WILL CLEAR THE WETNESS/MOISTURE AWAY, TEMPORARILY, BUT THE FILM REMAINS AND THE MOISTURE/WETNESS RETURNS. THIS MAKES THE VISIBILITY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK NON-EXISTENT, AND WHEN TURNING A RIGHT HAND CORNER, OR ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT OF THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A LIABILITY AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN....... CONFIRMATION/MANUFACTURER KNOWLEDGE: I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER - TWICE - AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS MODEL. I CONTACTED THE GM HOTLINE, WHO ESCALATED THE CLAIM TO THE ENGINEERING CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM, THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF IT, AND TOLD THE DEALER NOT TO DO ANY REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. I ALSO TALKED TO THE DEALERS HEAD MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST. IS GM WAITING FOR A DEATH BEFORE FIXING? PICTURES AVAILABLE... *TR

  WE HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR TRUCK. I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE DATES SO I AM STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT AND WILL WORK BACK. ON 7/17/14 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY TRUCK LOCKED UP ON ME AND THE TRUCK WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I COULD NO LONGER STEER. HAD I NOT BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER BY 2 SEMIS WHO THEN HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO AVOID HITTING ME. ONE TOOK THE TURN LANE WHILE THE OTHER ALMOST RAN A CAR OFF THE ROAD TO GET AROUND ME. EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE TRUCK WAS STILL WORKING, LIGHTS, AC, RADIO, WINDOWS, EVERYTHING, JUST NOT STEERING. ONE TIME I TURNED ON MY TRUCK AND COULD NOT SWITCH THROUGH THE GEARS SO THAT I COULD DRIVE AND THE DASH HAD NO INFORMATION ON IT (NO COMPASS, TEMP READING, MILEAGE). IT WOULD MOVE THROUGH THE GEARS BUT IT WOULDN'T DRIVE. I HAD TO TURN MY TRUCK ON AND OFF 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD DRIVE. OUR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER AUTO ROLLS DOWN, OUR BUMPER IS FALLING APART AND WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DRIVERS DOOR LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS, AND OUR DOOR LOCKS WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT DISENGAGE SO WHEN WE GO TO SHUT THE DOOR IT JUST BOUNCES OF THE LATCH. THIS HAS CAUSED ONE OF OUR DOORS TO COME OFF THE HINGES AND ALMOST FALL OFF OUR TRUCK. WE HAVE HAD ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS REPLACED AND THEY ARE STILL DOING IT. *TR
