The contact's husband owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact initially took the vehicle to Robideaux Motors CO. (51 W Dalton Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815) where a diagnostic test showed error codes for the fuel injectors. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where another diagnostic test was performed and the mechanic suggested that all that 8-fuel injectors be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to TSB: N182198000. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer where the contact was notified that the vehicle was not included in the technical service bulletin. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the dealer's possession. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Tires have 24,300 miles on them were factory installed upon purchase of vehicle in 2018. In April of 2022 while driving on freeway at 65 mph noticed a vibration in steering. Inspected tires when I reached destination and discovered the passenger side front tire had a bulge in the tread and was starting to separate. Replaced at a local tire shop and was told that they had seen numerous tire tread separations of this make and model tire. Goodyear Wrangler SR-A 265/60-20. Tire still had significant amount of tread remaining (Half Worn). In late May of 2022 had another tire tread separate from driver side rear of same vehicle.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
Trailer Brake system message comes on multiple time. Have never pulled a trailer. Also when going 75mph on cruise control the "Stabilitrak" message comes up and kicks off my cruise and completely blanks out my screens. This is extremely bothersome and is DEFINITELY a safety issue with this wiring problem.

SERVICE BRAKES
No trailer hooked up and "Service Trailer Brake System" appears. Will dismiss but the chime continues. Would believe this would cause an accident if equipped with a heavy load requiring trailer brakes. Will not be hauling anything with trailer brakes at this point.

I have been researching rust on frame components and found there have been service bulletins issued (e.g. PI0564K) for this same issue. However, the latest service bulletin only covers up to model year 2019. Is there anything in progress to extend to model year 2020?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL, SERVICE BRAKES
A faulty internal computer constantly beeps a warning about "trailer brake system" when there is no trailer attached to the vehicle. The beeping is extremely hyperactive and non stop and distracts you from safe driving and interrupts all other audible functions (such as turn signal blinking & navigation voice commands) to render the vehicle unfit to drive.
