ENGINE
MY 2013 HAS DEVELOPED THE NOTORIOUS LIFTER TICK FROM A COLLAPSED LIFTER (THIS AFFECTS MANY 5.3L V8 ENGINES OF THIS ERA). THIS WILL LEAD TO EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING, AND CLOGGED EXHAUST SYSTEMS OVER TIME DUE TO THE OIL BURNING. THIS ALSO DAMAGES/DESTROYS THE CAM SHAFT OVER TIME AND REQUIRES FREQUENT SPARK PLUG CHANGES. I SUSPECT THIS PROBLEM STARTED AS EARLY AS 60,000 MILES (WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY) HOWEVER BECAUSE THE TRUCK WASN'T CONSUMING 1 QT / 1000 MILES GM REFUSED TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE FURTHER. THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES OVER TIME, THIS CAN LEAD TO STALLS OR BREAKDOWNS WHICH CAN BE A HAZARD. IT ALSO SERVERELY DIMINISHES THE RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AS THE REQUIRED REPAIRS ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE (ABOUT $2000 - $3500).

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE (BOTH THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR HANDLES) WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR WHEN STOPPED. THE REPAIR SHOP SHOWED ME A SMALL POT METAL ARM THAT BROKE INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL AND CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHILE NOT AN ISSUE BY ITSELF, IF THE AUTO WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED THE DRIVER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, DEPENDING ON THE FINAL RESTING POSITION. FURTHER ADDING TO THIS IS THAT THE ISSUE APPEARED FOR A DAY, THEN THE DOOR WORKED FINE FOR 2 MORE DAYS BEFORE BECOMING PERMANENTLY NON-FUNCTIONING.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I NOTICED EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR PROPER FIX. RUST WAS SUPPOSEDLY GROUND OFF AND FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE WERE UNDERCOATED. APPARENTLY THE FACTORY WAX COATING WAS NOT PROPERLY CLEANED BEFORE PAINT. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE RUST IS BACK ON THE FRAME AND FRONT STEERING PARTS. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES, IS GARAGE KEPT AND HAS RARELY BEEN DRIVEN IN WINTER MONTHS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SPORATIC FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING THE TRUCK TO NOT START OR TO STALL WHILE BEING DRIVEN. ISSUE HAPPENED BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED FUSE BLOCK FAILURE. WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FUSE BLOCK FAILURE IS COMMON, SO MUCH SO THAT THEY STOCK THE REPLACEMENTS. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY TOWING MY TRAILER WHEN THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY TOWING, IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC SINCE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 11,612 MILES ON IT AT THE LAST INSTANCE.

WHILE IN CALIFORNIA (FROM TEXAS) AND A/C STOPS BLOWING COLD OR WARN, JUST HOT AIR. TRIED ADDING SEALANT AND FREON THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. SINCE THEN JUST HOT AIR. DRIVING BACK FROM CA TO TX THRU THE CENTRAL VALLEY, AZ AND NM WAS NOT FUN WITH TEMPS > 90. I WAS CHECKING HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS HAD SUCCESS ON GETTING GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS RAMPANT WITH THIS MODEL SILVERADO/SIERRA. UPDATE FROM JUL 14, 2020 I WROTE TO GM AND RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL WITH A NUMBER TO CALL. CALLED THE NUMBER OVER 10 TIMES, EVERY TIME I WAS DISCONNECTED WHILE GOING THROUGH THE MENU. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET WITH THE SAME USELESS PHONE NUMBER. WROTE AGAIN HOPING TO GET EMAIL ADDRESS TO OPEN A DIALOG.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I STARTED TO LOSE POWER AND SO WHEN I PULLED INTO THE AIRPORT PARKING LOT MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE I WAS STILL IN DRIVE. I TRIED TO RESTART THE TRUCK HOWEVER IT WOULD NOT CRANK OVER SO I HAD TO CONTACT A TOW COMPANY. WHAT I FOUND OUT WAS THAT IT WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP THAT WENT OUT CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE TO MY FUEL SYSTEM BY SENDING METAL SHAVINGS INTO ALL OF MY FUEL SYSTEM TO INCLUDE MY GAS TANK. GM HAD A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR THIS YEAR OF TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE AT HAND AND I AM WONDERING WHY THEY NEVER INITIATED A SAFETY RECALL ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART? I COULD HAVE BEEN STRANDED SOMEWHERE ON THE HIGHWAY AND I HAVE A FAMILY WITH THREE KIDS WHICH COLD HAVE MADE IT WORSE IF THEY WERE WITH ME ON A TRIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES AND IF GM KNEW ABOUT THIS HAPPENING WHY HAVE THEY NOT FIXED IT NOW I AM BEING CHARGED $8900.00 FOR REPAIRS WHEN THEY KNEW THIS WAS AN ISSUE. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY THIS COULD OF BEEN CATASTROPHIC TO NOT ONLY ME HOWEVER TO THE PUBLIC TRAVELING ON THAT SAME HIGHWAY. I HAVE ALL THE TSB'S AND INTERNET RESEARCH ON THE LAWSUIT FILED BUT CANNOT UPLOAD.
