ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
While I was pulling my trailer up a grade on my 2014 Chevy Silverado 2500HD diesel truck, the fuel pump had catastrophic failure resulting in total loss of power. I had to unsafely maneuver to the shoulder of the 10 freeway west near Cabazon, CA and exit the truck near high speed traffic. I was lucky to make it to the shoulder without getting run over by the trucks in the slow lane. Had to wait hours for a tow and now have a roughly $10k repair bill. This is a known issue with the Bosch CP4 fuel pumps that Ford and GM refuse to address. Ram/Stellantis recalled their diesel trucks for 2019 and 2020 using this fuel pump. Dealer has confirmed total failure of the Bosch CP4 high pressure fuel pump as the reason for total loss of power. No warning signs whatsoever, just immediate loss of power while traveling 55 mph.

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
On 9/11/2017 i purchased this 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom double cab truck. I owned it for over 7 years. (46000 miles) And garage kept since day 1. I noticed a lot of rust on frame and Spair tire a lot . Also the paint on the body is chipping a lot. I did not have any problems with the lifter issue yet. But i feel as soon as it goes out of warranty I will have to deal with rebuilding my engine. GM knows of this problem and not doing anything about it. It would be nice if this engine could be replaced with none of the AFM parts and at no cost to me.

WHEELS, SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
The ball joint for the front left tire broke while driving on a straight road and caused over $2,100 worth of damage to the wheel, axle, brake, etc. I had no warning or anything when this happened. It felt like my tire popped and when I pulled over, the wheel was still attached but was sitting at an awkward angle. The shop quoted me at $2,154 as there were 5 or 6 different parts they needed to repair including the ball joint, axle, brakes, brake sensors, rim, etc.
