ENGINE
THE ENGINE IN THIS VEHICLE BURNS/VAPORIZES OIL AT A RAPID PACE. I HAVE A 2011, 114K MILES, AND HAD TO REPLACE THE PISTONS TO THE TUNE OF $5400 - CHEVROLET WOULD NOT HELP WITH COSTS. 6 YR OLD VEHICLE, JUST OVER 100K MILES AND HAVE TO REPLACE THE PISTONS.. I HAD KEPT UP ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT THE DEALERSHIP. HAVE A "WARRANTY FOREVER" , LIFE TIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY, AND DENIED MY CLAIM BECAUSE IT WAS DUE TO 'WEAR AND TEAR'. HOW CAN MY 6 YR OLD, 114K MILE VEHICLES ESSENTIALLY NEED A NEW ENGINE? CHEVROLET SHOULD BE DISGUSTED WITH THEMSELVES. I KNOW MANY OTHERS WITH SIMILAR YEAR, SAME ENGINE AND HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE NOT FAITH IN THE CHEVROLET PRODUCT ANYMORE.

TAKATA RECALL, RECALL IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD AND NO SOLUTION YET, NO ONE ELSE MAKES AIRBAGS? NOW THE SENATE IS PROPOSING A BILL TO FORCE REPAIRS OR NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER THE VEHICLE. TOO MUCH REGULATION ALREADY THAT DOESN'T WORK.

THE DASH IN MY 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HAS A CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. MY OPINION IS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE. EITHER THE AIR BAG COULD FAIL TO WORK PROPERLY OR POTENTIALLY BE DAMAGED. CHEVROLET HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAS CHOSEN NOT TO VOLUNTARILY TAKE CARE OF IT.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE WENT INTO LIMP MODE WHILE CRUISING AT 65 MPH. TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED LIGHT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. MESSAGE CENTER DISPLAYED "SERVICE STABILITRAK" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL" AND "ENGINE POWER REDUCED" MESSAGES. VEHICLE SLOWED AND TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED. VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WITH ACCELERATOR TO THE FLOOR THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 35 MPH IN A FLAT GRADE. ON A STEEP INCLINE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EXCEED 15MPH WITH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. PARKING THE VEHICLE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SEVERAL IGNITION CYCLES HAVE IN THE PAST HAVE RESOLVED THE ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM VEHICLES USING A DRIVE BY WIRE THROTTLE BODY AND IT HAS BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER MODEL YEARS.

I OWN A 2011 SILVERADO. IT HAS THE CRACKS IN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA, AND ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER. OF COURSE AFTER SEEING ALL THE OTHER CRACKED DASHES. IT REALLY MAKES ME UNHAPPY THAT THIS IS NOT ALREADY A RECALL OR TAKEN CARE OF. ONE DAY I GOT IN MY VEHICLE AND SAW BOTH CRACKS, AND IT HAPPENED 2 DAYS AFTER SOMEONE TOLD ME IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT CRACKS. I REALLY WOULD LIKE IT REPLACED.
