POWER TRAIN
THIS TRUCK IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS IN MY OWNERSHIP (BOUGHT NEW). THIS WINTER I SAW RED DOTS IN THE SNOW AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE TRANSMISSION LINES ARE LEAKING. A $300 BILL NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE. SEEMS THE RUBBER ENDS DO NOT LIKE COLD WEATHER BUT YET THEY ARE ALLOWED TO SELL THIS VEHICLE IN A STATE WITH COLD WEATHER. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE AIR-CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR GIVE OUT AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY A $1000 REPAIR. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BUMPER REPLACE BECAUSE IT RUSTED THROUGH IN THE FIRST YEARS, AT LEAST IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THEN IMMEDIATELY LOST ALL ENGINE POWER COMPLETELY STALLED), ELECTRICAL (EXCEPT HEADLIGHTS), POWER STEERING, POWER BRAKES. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER VEHICLE STOPPED (WENT INTO WALK HOME MODE), NOT EVEN THE HORN WOULD WORK! AFTER ABOUT 20 MINUTES, THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART AND I COULD DRIVE HOME, BUT WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. THE REPROGRAMMED THE MAIN COMPUTER. AFTER A FEW DAYS, IT HAPPENED AGAIN! TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO ORDER A NEW COMPUTER, THEY REPROGRAMMED THE DEFECTIVE COMPUTER AGAIN AND SAID THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE NEW ONE WAS IN. THE SAME CONDITION REPEATED ITSELF A FEW MORE TIMES BEFORE THE NEW COMPUTER CAME IN AND THEY REPLACED IT. NO PROBLEMS SINCE. I CONSIDER LOOSING ALL POWER IN A TURN ONTO AN INTERSTATE RATHER DANGEROUS! THE DEALERSHIP CONFIDED MY EXPERIENCE WAS NOT AT ALL UNUSUAL WITH THESE VEHICLES.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ABOUT TWO YEARS INTO OWNING THIS TRUCK, (PURCHASED BRAND NEW FROM DEALER), THE DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT WHICH CAUSED THE DASHBOARD TO CRACK. NOTHING HIT IT, NO ACCIDENT, ETC. THIS IS A POTENTIAL HAZARD AND IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM FOR MANY CHEVROLET OWNERS. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WASN'T COVERED BY ANY WARRANTY. HOW IS IT OKAY FOR GM TO KNOW ABOUT A DEFECT WITH MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES AND NOT HAVE TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR FIXING IT??

ENGINE
VEHICLE HAS DIFFICULTY STARTING WITH KEY AFTER SITTING FOR 6-8 HOURS. PROBLEM IS LESS FREQUENT WHEN USING FACTORY REMOTE START. STARTER WILL ENGAGE, BUT ENGINE RESPONSE IS SLUGGISH. SOMETIMES ENGINE WILL NOT TURN OVER AT ALL, OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE ENGAGES, BUT DOES SO VERY ROUGH AND CONTINUES WITH A ROUGH IDLE FOR ABOUT 1 MINUTE. ONCE RUNNING, THE ENGINE PERFORMS AS NORMAL AND SUBSEQUENT STARTS ARE GENERALLY SMOOTH AND TROUBLE-FREE. *TR

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING MY 2010 CHEVY SILVERADO ON I-675 AND TRUCK EXPERIENCED IMMEDIATE ENGINE POWER LOSS, SPEED AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED TO 20 MILES PER HOUR AND ENGINE LIGHT W/ ENGINE REDUCED POWER VERBIAGE ALERTED ON DISPLAY. TRUCK ENGINE INSTANTLY STARTED RUNNING / SOUNDING ROUGH AND WOULDN'T ACCELERATE BEYOND 20 MPH. THIS CAUSED IMMEDIATE UNSAFE SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND TRAVELERS ON INTERSTATE. I WAS TRAVELING IN LEFT LANE AND SEVERAL VEHICLES SWERVED AROUND ME AS I MOVED TO RIGHT OFF ROAD, BEYOND WHITE LINE TO STOP MY TRUCK. I QUICKLY LEARNED, BY INTERNET SEARCH, THAT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAD BEEN GENERATED FOR THIS ENGINE FAULT, HOWEVER I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTICE FROM THE CHEVY OR GM CORPORATION TO DATE. PLEASE HELP ALERT THE GENERAL PUBLIC ABOUT THIS SITUATION. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AS IF THE KEY WERE TURNED OFF , THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES- I LOSE POWER STEERING, ALL ELECTRICAL, STEERING ETC. VERY FRUSTRATING BC CHEVY STATES THAT THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 2010 MODEL SILVERADO SO I'M EXPECTED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET??? THIS ISN'T RIGHT- I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PLEASED WITH MY CHEVYS BUT NOT WITH THIS ONE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING 65 ON CRUISE CONTROL WHEN CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. MESSAGE CENTER SAID REDUCED POWER I GOT TO A SMALL SERVICE GARAGE AND HE TOLD ME I SHOULD SHUT IT OFF WAIT 15 MINUTES AND IT WILL RESET AND IT DID. I DROVE ANOTHER 80 MILES AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE FIRST GARAGE GUY TOLD ME IT WAS A GM ISSUE AND I SHOULD GO SEE THEM THEY SHOULD REPAIR IT. HE SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND IN THE COLD IT GET SLUGGISH AND GM SHOULD FIX IT BECAUSE THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH SOME OF THEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN 20 MILES LATER. I GOT BACK TO THE GM DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT HE CONFIRMED IT WAS THEY THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY BUT DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO REPLACE IT. HE OFFERED TO CLEAN IT (FREE OF CHARGE) AND SENT ME ON MY WAY TELLING ME IF IT HAPPENED AGAIN I SHOULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE (APPROX. 400-600 DOLLARS). I DONE SOME INVESTIGATING ON THIS MATTER AND FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE. I STOPPED AT ANOTHER GM DEALER AND EXPLAINED MY PROBLEM HE CONFIRMED THE ORIGINAL THEORY CHECKED THE VIN # AND TOLD ME GM IS FIXING THIS PROBLEM FOR 10 YEARS FROM THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE DATE. I GUESS I NEED TO STOP BUYING FROM MY ORIGINAL GM DEALER WHERE I HAD PURCHASED MY LAST TWO VEHICLES. I HAVE NOT HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT AGAIN BUT I HAVE ONLY DRIVEN 600 MILES SINCE THEN. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I WAS RIDING AT ABOUT 25 MPH ENGINE REDUCE POWER LIGHT CAME ON, ENGINE HAD NO POWER TO PULL. ENGINE STABILIZER CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. THIS IS ABOUT THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPEN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN A 115,000 MILES ON IT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPEN I CALL THE DEALER THEY REPLACED A SENSOR ON THE THROTTLE BODY. THEY TOLD ME IF IT DIDN'T WORK THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN. I THINK IT SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM FROM THE MANUFACTURER. IF THIS HAPPENS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IT COULD CAUSE INJURY OR A FATALITY. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
THE DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE WHEN ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION. THE LOCKS APPEARED TO WORK BOTH MANUALLY AND ELECTRICALLY BUT THE INSIDE DOOR LATCH HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. I THINK THIS IS A BIT OF A SAFETY ISSUE. VERY DIFFICULT TO CLIMB ACROSS THE CONSOLE TO GET TO THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. IT FINALLY CLEARED ITSELF AFTER A BIT OF TIME, BUT YOU WANT THAT DOOR TO OPEN WHEN YOU NEED IT TO OPEN. A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER I WAS PLAYING WITH IT AGAIN, IT OPENED BUT WOULD NOT LATCH TO CLOSE. I WOULD SUSPECT THE ISSUES ARE RELATED BUT HAVE NOT HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, MY 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 27,000 MILE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SLOWED FROM 50MPH TO 25MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. DUE TO THE EXTREME REDUCTION IN SPEED WITH OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ENGAGED, A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER, TURN IN THE RIGHT LANE, AND ALMOST STRUCK A THIRD VEHICLE. THREE WARNING MESSAGES WERE GIVEN THAT INCLUDED, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND SERVICE STABILITRACK. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH AND I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. WHILE IN THE PARKING, LOT I RESEARCHED THE ABOVE LISTED MESSAGES AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN LINKED TO THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM AND THE INTAKE. I THEN RESEARCHED IF ANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT NOT A RECALL. I WAS ALSO SURPRISED THAT THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DUE WITH STABILITRACK. I THEN LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME AT 20 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR IT WOULD LUNG FORWARD VIOLENTLY. I LATER CALLED THE PITRE GMC, IN ALBUQUERQUE NM, AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. I ASKED HIM IF A RECALLED HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE VEHICLES IN REFERENCE TO THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW OF A RECALL BUT I COULD DRIVE IT DOWN TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY COULD CHECK THE CODES ON IT. I WAS SURPRISED BY HIS RESPONSE INSTRUCTING ME TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH THAT COULD RESULT IN SEVER INJURY OR DEATH. HOPEFULLY GM AND NHTSA WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE NUMEROUS DEATHS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS POTENTIALLY AS DANGEROUS AS THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE THAT KILLED SEVERAL PEOPLE. I AM A GENERATIONAL CHEVROLET CONSUMER, BUT THAT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE.
