ENGINE
I HAVE COMPLAINTED OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NUMEROUS TIMES TO MY DEALERSHIP SINCE DAY 1. 50K MILES THEY REPLACE THE OIL PUMP AND REBUILT THE LOWER PART OF THE MOTOR. 97K MILES I HAVE P0300 CODE WHICH IS A RAPID MISFIRE. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND BEGAN VIBRATING. THE #4 CYLINDER HAS NO COMPRESSION. NO WARRANTY, NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT. NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

SEVERAL CRACKS IN MY DASH (4-5). ONE IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASH IS SO BRITTLE IT CRACKS FROM JUST CLOSING THE DOOR. I'M AFRAID WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT AND BROKEN DASH PIECES GO FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB. THIS IS NO DOUBT A SAFETY CONCERN! NOT TO MENTION AN EYE SORE AND RESALE KILLER. THIS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LEAKING/SPRAYING OUT OF THE REAR AUXILIARY FUEL TANK. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I OBSERVED THE RAW FUEL WAS COMING OUT OF THE FUEL MODULE CONNECTING FUEL LINE. THE METAL FUEL LINE SITS IN A WELL OF THE REAR TANK AND WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH DIRT/MOISTURE/RAW FUEL. THE TANK WAS REMOVED AND WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE METAL PORTION OF THE FUEL MODULE METAL PIPING WAS RUSTED THRU AND THAT WAS WHERE THE RAW FUEL WAS BEING SPRAYED/POOLING IN THE WELL AREA. THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK & MODULE CREATES A PERFECT LOCATION FOR DIRT/MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE. ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FIRE AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. THE REMOVED ORIGINAL FUEL MODULE WAS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE ROTTED METAL PORTION OF THE MODULE. I REPLACED THE ROTTED FUEL MODULE WITH A NEW GM OEM FUEL MODULE. THIS NEW MODULE HAS THE SAME EXACT CONSTRUCTION AS THE ORIGINAL PART. SINCE THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO CLEAN OR KEEP CLEAN THE WELL AREA OF THE TANK, I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE NEW OEM PART WILL DETERIORATE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 34000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE CONDITION OCCURRED. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE NEW MODULE COSTS FOR LABOR AND PARTS WAS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00. IN CONCLUSION I THINK THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVING RAW FUEL BEING EJECTED FROM THE FUEL TANK UNDER PRESSURE WHILE THE PUMP IS RUNNING.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 SILVERADO AT 33,000 MILES I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE #7 CYLINDER WAS NOT WORKING. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE AFM FOR THE 5.3 LITER ENGINES HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. HALF OF THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CARBON BUILT UP INSIDE THE ENGINE. AGAIN AT 78,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS TO AND DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP AND A ENGINE SOAK WAS PERFORMED ALONG WITH SPLASH GUARDS ADDED TO THE VALVE COVERS TO KEEP THE ENGINE OIL FROM ESCAPING AS THE AFM WAS OPEARTIONAL. AT 98,000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, AT 140,000 MILES THE WATER PUMP, CRANK SHAFT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REBUILD THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MILEAGE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND STARTED USING FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL SINCE MY ENGINE ISSUES AT 33,000 MILES. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE AFM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING. I CONTACT GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY STATED THAT MY TRUCK HASN'T BEEN SEEN AT A DEALERSHIP IN OVER A YEAR, THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINE. BUT, THEY WILL GIVE ME A $1,000 CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW VEHILCE. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, GM JUST TURNS THERE HEADS ON THE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND EXPECTS YOU TO PAY FOR A NEW GM VEHICLE. GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT!!!!
