ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ADDITIONALLY, A SMALL NUMBER OF 2007-2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES THAT INCLUDE; 2008-2013 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, 2008-2009 CHEVROLET COLORADO VEHICLES; 2007-2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, 2008-2014 SUBURBAN, AND TAHOE VEHICLES; 2008-2013 GMC SIERRA AND 2009-2012 YUKON VEHICLES; 2008-2009 GMC CANYON VEHICLES; 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 AND H3T VEHICLES; AND 2008-2009 SATURN VUE AND 2009 OUTLOOK VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN SERVICED WITH A CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE THAT COULD HAVE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION, CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE MODULE. IF THE MODULE EXPERIENCES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, THE VEHICLE COULD DISPLAY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STALL, OR FAIL TO START. IF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THIS CONDITION AND STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, THERE COULD BE AN INCREASED RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH. MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS FAILED TO START. WHEN THESE SYMPTOMS OCCURRED THEY ARE ACCOMPANIED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR A U0109 CODE (LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE). I BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE, ALTHOUGH THE VIN IS NOT LISTED, IS AFFECTED BY NHTSA RECALL BULLETIN NUMBER 14515 AS QUOTED ABOVE.

MY LETTER FROM GM STATED THAT GM WAS WORKING ON THE ISSUE AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THERE WAS A RESOLUTION. I WAS ALSO TOLD AN OPTION WAS TO NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. AGAIN, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 YEARS. GM HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A RESOLUTION IN A TIMELY MANNER.

ENGINE
I HAVE JUST OVER 150,000 MILES ON MY 5.3 LITER V8 I CONSTANTLY HAVE TO ADD OIL AND HAVE HAD TO SINCE I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK WITH 124,253 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I GENERALLY ADD 2 QUARTS A MONTH. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD RHIS IS ALLOWANCE. THE OIL PAN GASKET, REAR MAIN SEAL, VALVE COVER GASKETS, VALVE COVERS, THE VALVE SEATS, AND PISTON RINGS ARE ALL SHOWING DEGRADED SIGNS. I WORKED AS A MECHANIC FOR A SHORT TIME. I AM ALSO A RETIRED LOGISTICAL TRANSPORTATION OPERATOR FROM THE ARMY . I HAVE NEVER KNOW THIS TO BE IN ALLOWANCE. I UNDERSTAND THAT SOME OF THESE ISSUES ARE AT OWNERS RESPONSIBILITY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE IT KNIWN THAT EVERYONE I KNIW WITH THIS YEAR MODEL TRUCK HAVE TGE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS VEHICLE DOES HAVE A SALVAGED TITLE.

TAKATA RECALL: WE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM CHEVY IN 2016 TO THIS DATE THEY CONTINUE TO SAY THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION. HOW DO THEY GET BY WITH NOT FIXING SOMETHING THAT COULD COST US OUR LIFE IF WE ARE IN AN ACCIDENT? HONDA FIXED OUR ACCORD AS SOON AS WE RECEIVED THE RECALL. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHEVY PRODUCT,WE HAVE TO USE OUR TRUCK BUT I AM SCARED EVERY TIME WE DRIVE IT THAT WE WILL BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY AND KILL ONE OF US.

TAKATA RECALL DASH IS COMING APART ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON BECAUSE THE DASH IS CRACKED WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. THIS IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. FEAR FOR SAFETY. WE BELIEVE IT IS UNSAFE. IT APPEARS DEFECTIVE. CHEVROLET REFUSES TO FIX.
