POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
Periodically at low speeds my transmission will hard shift. This causes my vehicle to lurch forward. This has happened several times to me. I have taken it to my Chevrolet dealership and have been told that this is a known problem but nothing they the dealership can do about it! I can only speculate but they are waiting for GM to make a decision on what must be done. I believe the transmission is mechanically faulty.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I’m not completely aware of the issue but at about 68,000 miles my GM LC9 engine has started ticking. I know GM has been sued in the past for the failure of LC9 engine and wondered if I need to join the lawsuit or if there will be a recall issued?

Bulletin No.: 21-NA-275 Please refer to the posted bulletin. This known issue is absolutely dangerous and needs to be recalled. My truck will lock up going 50 to 60 mph to a complete stop and there's no warning. Gm needs to get all these vehicles fixed it's going to hurt someone or even worse. There's no warming lamps. I'm getting my vehicle into the shop as soon as possible. This issue again is very very dangerous.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
I am having issues with the steering. I keep getting a message about the stabilitrak on my truck and when I drive it the power steering just stops and I have to gain control of my truck. I would think that this should be a safety recall. Please assist with looking into this for me please.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
This is my 3rd complaint within 6 days. The entire electrical system in this 2017 Silverado 2500HD LT 6.6L appears to be committing suicide. First it was the Brake Controller Unit, Diesel Injector Connector (cylinder 7), P1050 DEF Level Sensor, U029E NOX Sensor Module 2 Communication Lost, U02A3 Lost Communication With Particulate Matter Sensor Module, and now P018B Code: Fuel Pressure Sensor "B". At what point will the manufacturer be held accountable for manufacturer defects on this vehicle (including the Dorman 603-009 Coolant Reservoir)? Every pump and sensor on the truck is failing within a week of the trailer brake controller failure? WHY is every wire harness on this vehicle (like so many others) failing? I cannot trust that I can even drive this vehicle without either STABILITRAC shutting it down or the defective wire harnesses catching fire.

STEERING
The power steering locked when driving, this happened last year. I had it serviced at the dealership and it was fixed but it’s reoccurring occasionally. Now when you turn it on you could hear a sound and it’s hard to turn. It’s a safety concern for me and for others to drive it with that condition. I brought it back to the dealership to have it serviced again, a mechanic inspected it and confirmed there’s a problem with the steering but they will have to do a proper diagnostic with the issue. There ‘s no warning message that pops out.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Engine wiring harness failure on my 2017 Silverado 2500HD LT 6.6. This time it is the cylinder 7 connector which is a very common complaint by Chevy owners. The wiring harness was installed with wires that were to short for the rear cylinders causing them to fail prematurely. This connector is snapped into position forcing the wires to bend at a tight 90 degree angle. Chevy is trying to force owners to replace the entire wiring harness instead of replacing just the defective connectors (GM 19368140, ACD PT3739). This failure causes the engine to idle and operate so rough that it engages STABILITRAC and forces reduced power mode.

Recently while up on the hoist the technician said the frame rust was very severe and the truck was in danger of buckling. Should it be so bad at 114,000?

ENGINE, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
Problem started while driving on the highway, I was speeding up from the ramp to merge into the highway. As I got to 62 mph the dashboard started blinking that i could only go up to 62 mph max. Cruise control was not on. I drove to my destination at that speed with the message on the dashboard. I arrived at my destination, parked, turned it off, a couple of hours later turned it on to drive again. At this point, the dashboard message was that I could only drive it max speed 42 mph and "service tire monitor system" I towed to my mechanic given i could not drive at that speed on the highway back home. The mechanic said it was time for a brake change and that might be the issue. He changed all the brake pads and rotors and the truck drove fine again for less than a week. As i was getting on the highway, the truck started to jerk like it wanted to stop as i was speeding up, i was going 45 mph. There was a clanking sound coming from the engine. Then multiple things started flashing on the dashboard; check engine, traction control, messages reading "service parking brake" and "service ESC" I turned the truck off for a couple of minutes on the highway shoulder. Turned it back on, the same messages were still on the dash. I again could only drive it max in the 40's mph. The faster I tried to go, the more heavy and forced the truck felt. I had to park it over night in a parking lot. The next day i scheduled an appointment with a mechanic in town who checked it and said i would be needing a new engine, that he had seen this same problem a couple of weeks ago on a same truck. He quoted me $9K.I towed the truck back home and had another mechanic come take a look at it, he was getting the codes 0P50D and P0304.He exchanged the 4 cylinder for the good 1 cylinder to see if the codes would change from #4 to #1 and it did not. He said the issue was internal at that point and suggested I go take it to the dealership under the warranty. Its not under warranty, it ended at 60K miles and I have 80K now.

Radio randomly turns volume to maximum level and doesn’t allow you to reduce it. I can only fix it by turning truck off then on again.

Brakes failed. The brake assist pump disintegrated, sending metal fragments into the Motor's oil circulation system. I was able to stop the truck using both feet and applying extreme force to the pedal. The dealer identified the problem. The "Brake Assist" warning light came on during the episode.
