ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, STEERING
WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY DURING A PARKING LOT MANEUVER TYPE CONDITION... MY TRUCK'S ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES FOR LIKE A SECOND OR TWO AT A TIME. BUT IT HAPPENS RAPIDLY. LLKE 4 TO 5 TIMES WITHIN 10 SECONDS. DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC STEERING NOT OPERATING WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT WILL BOUNCE THE STEERING SPORADICALLY WHEN IT CUTS ON/OFF AND KIND OF SCARE YOU. AT THE SAME TIME THE SAD LIGHTS FLICKER AND THE DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK RAPIDLY. EVEN AS A VETERAN DRIVER, IT ALL HAPPENS SO FAST THAT YOU CANNOT REGAIN CONTROL EASILY. WHEN I STOP, TURN THE TRUCK OFF THEN RESTART IT, IT'S BEEN OK. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED 3 TIMES. BUT IT CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SYSTEM SHUTTING ON/OFF REALLY FAST.

ENGINE
2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K3500HD LTZ CREWCAB 6.6L DURAMAX : ENGINE REGULARLY FAILS TO START. SINCE ACQUIRING THIS PRE-OWNED TRUCK IN JUNE 2017 I HAVE EXPERIENCED THREE INSTANCES WHERE THE ENGINE TURNS OVER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START BUT FAILS TO DO SO. IN ALL CASES THE ATTEMPT TO START WAS MADE AFTER THE VEHICLE SAT OUTSIDE OVERNIGHT. VEHICLE WAS ORIENTED WITH A SLIGHT UPHILL (5 DEGREES) NOSE UP ATTITUDE. BATTERY (THERE ARE 2) CONDITION TESTED WELL WITHIN SPECIFICATIONS FOR STATE OF CHARGE,VOLTAGE AND AMPERAGE. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO VARIOUS SERVICE FACILITIES NONE COULD FIND A CAUSE FOR THE NO START CONDITION. IN EVERY INSTANCE THE TRUCK WOULD RESTART AFTER HAVING SAT FOR A NUMBER OF DAYS. PRIOR TO THESE INCIDENTS THERE HAVE BEEN ALSO BEEN AN EQUAL NUMBER OF LOUD DRIVE TRAIN NOISES WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN FROM A STANDSTILL ONTO THE HIGHWAY. AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE PERFORMED NORMALLY EXCEPT IT WAS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS A HESITATION/STUMBLING WHEN ACCELERATING MODERATELY. NONE OF THESE DESCRIBED CONDITIONS HAVE BEEN ACCOMPANIED BUT ANY WARNING TONES OR MIL INDICATORS ON THE DASHBOARD. VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS APPROX. 209,000 MILES AND WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD NEW IN 2013 AND DRIVEN IN TEXAS BEFORE BEING BROUGHT TO CONNECTICUT IN JAN 2017 FROM WHERE I PURCHASED IT.

GOT IN MY TRUCK ONE MORNING AND NOTICED TWO LARGE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. VEHICLE HAD BEEN STATIONARY AND IN THE GARAGE THE NIGHT PRIOR. ONE RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE, RUNNING ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE OTHER IS ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT COULD SEND PLASTIC SHARDS FLYING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

UPON WIPING MY DASHBOARD WITH A DRY CLOTH(NEVER USED ANY PRODUCTS TO CLEAN, OR TREAT THE DASHBOARD AREA) AND I DO NOT PARK VECHILE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT .... I NOTICED 4 TO 5 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AREA OF BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE...MOST CONCERNING... THAT 2 OF THE CRACKS ARE AROUND THE PASSANGER AIR BAG LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD...THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER OF GM AND A CHEVY SILVERADO WHO PURCHASED A VECHILE THATS PRICED ABOVE $45,000. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE LOCATION OF THESE CRACKS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL BY GM CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES.....

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALL ARROUND AIRBAG, IF AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WOULD SPRAY PLASTIC PARTS ALL OVER VEHICLE, IT IS A PART DEFECT AND CHEVROLET KNOWS THIS, THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS , THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK SHOWING 1000S OF PICTURES , PLEASE HELP, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD AND THE CRACKS STARTED TO APPEAR AT JUST 37,000 MILES,ALSO IF YOU DECIDE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF , THEY WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE NEW FACTORY DASH WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN, THIS JUST PROVES THAT THEY KNOW IT IS MADE DEFECTIVE, HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SPRAYED WITH FLYING DEFECTIVE PARTS ARROUND THE AIRBAG
