THE DASH DEVELOPED A CRACK AT THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, WHICH WAS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE THAT OCCURRED IN OUR 2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED. MILES ARE AT 32,000, BUT THE FACTORY WARRANTY RAN OUT AT THE END OF MAY AND CHEVY REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR AT 100%.

STRUCTURE:BODY, WHEELS
ON 7/14 AM I HAD THE CHEVROLET DEALER PUT 2 NEW TIRES AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE. WE LEFT ON TRIP LATER THAT DAY AND IN A HEAVY RAIN STORN NEAR JACKSONVILLE, AR, WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE TRUCK SPUN OUT OF CONTROL ON HWY 167S DUE TO SEVERE HYDROPLANING. THE NEXT DAY I LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND THEY WERE NOT THE SAME TIRES AS ON THE REAR OR AS SPECIFIED BY GM. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN P245 AND THEY WERE MS245. I RECALL WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THE TRUCK WHEN WE PICKED UP AT THE CHEVROLET GARAGE THAT THEY DID NOT LOOK "NEW". THEY WERE DUSTY AND DIRTY AND DID NOT HAVE THE "NEW TIRE STIPLING" THAT I HAVE SEEN ON OTHER NEW TIRES THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. I LATER FOUND OUT BY GOODYEAR THAT THE TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF DRIVING IN SNOW AND RAIN AND WHEN I NOTICE HYDROPLANING, I SLOW DOWN. BUT IN THIS ACCIDENT THERE WAS NO WARNING. WHEN I FIRST CALLED THE CHECROLET DEALER THEY SAID THAT 245 EURO TIRES WERE PUT ON MY TRUCK AND THEY WERE BETTER THAN THE P245 TIRES AND TO CONTACT THERE LAWYER. I THINK THE TIRES THEY PUT ON THAT THEY SOLD AS NEW, WERE TAKEN OFF OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND PUT ON MY TRUCK . I ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD SHOW ME THE ORDER, BILL OF LADING, AND PACKING SLIP ANE AGAIN THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR LAWYER.

WHEELS
I HAVE HAD 2 WHEELS CRACK AT THE VALVE STEM AREA WITHIN THE LAST 2 MONTHS. THIS CAUSES THE TIRE PRESURE TO DROP TO A DANGEROUSLY LOW AMOUNT ( 20-30 PSI). I FELT THE TRUCK PULLING TO THE RIGHT WHEN THE FIRST WHEEL CRACKED AND PULLED OVER BEFORE ANYTHING BLEW. THE SECOND WHEEL WAS NOTICED WHEN I WAS AT A HORSE SHOW. IT WAS DOWN TO 22 PSI. I PUT 75 PSI IN IT AND MADE IT HOME (5 HOURS) AND IT HAD DROPPED TO 65. THIS CRACK CAUSES SLOW LEAK AND IT IS NOT DETECTABLE UNTIL THE TIRES ARE VERY LOW.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
SERIOUS RISK OF FIRE: THIS MODEL HAS AN PRESSURE SENSOR ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK (AND FUEL PUMP) THAT WHEN IT MALFUNCTIONS CAUSES STRONG FUEL ODORS AND FUEL TO ESCAPE FROM THE TANK AND RUN DOWN THE FRAME AND OUT NEAR THE BACK BUMPER.

ENGINE
I HAVE NOW HAD MY CHEVY 2013 SILVERADO IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND IT HAS FAILED THEM. WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS. WHEN IT FINALLY FAILED THEY ARE NOW SAYING THE ARE ONLY REPLACING THE HEAD GASKET AND THE ROCKER ARMS. NEITHER ONE OF THESE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY TRUCK BURNING OIL. THIS IS THE SECOND VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS HAS ISSUES BURNING OIL THE FIRST ONE THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR IT TO BURN OIL. THEY NEED TO DO WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY TOLD ME AND REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS ENGINE GOES WHILE I AM GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY

STEERING
I BOUGHT THIS USED 2013 TRUCK IN LATE NOV 2015. WHEN MAKING (USUALLY) A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP LIKE ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM AN INCLINED ACCESS DRIVEWAY, OCCASIONALLY (MAYBE 3 TIMES PER MONTH) THERE IS A SUDDEN AND TOTAL FAILURE OF POWER ASSIST IN STEERING, MAKING THE TURN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND UNABLE TO KEEP FROM DRIFTING OUT OF THE INTENDED LANE OF TRAVEL. COLLISIONS WERE AVOIDED SEVERAL TIMES BY (THANKFULLY) ONCOMING TRAFFIC VEERING OUT OF THE WAY. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL PARTICULARLY AT THIS UNEXPECTED TIME WHILE ACCELERATING TO NEGOTIATE A TRAFFIC ENTRY IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS ONE-TON TRUCK IS NOT LIKE A SUBCOMPACT THAT IS EASY TO TURN 90 DEGREES WITHOUT POWER STEERING, BELIEVE ME. IF MY WIFE WERE DRIVING, THE TRUCK WOULD SURELY GO COMPLETELY ACROSS ALL LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN, THE POWER STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL, HOWEVER THE POWER ASSIST STEERING ON THIS 2013 TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAR LESS EFFECTIVE THAN MY PREVIOUS IDENTICAL MODEL, BUT 8 YEARS OLDER CHEVY DIESEL ONE-TON TRUCK.
