ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH WHEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH LIKE A FOULED OUT PLUG, SO I WAS CLOSE TO MY HOME BUT BEFORE I GOT THERE THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING EVEN ROUGHER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD ALSO. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT HAVE IT TOWED VIA CHEVYS 2 YEAR ROAD ASSISTANCE, SO I CALLED AND AFTER WAITING AND CALLING BACK 5 TIMES I CALLED MY OWN TOW SERVICE AND GOT IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY SAID A CODE FOR ENGINE MISFIRE CYLINDER # 5 AND REPLACED BAD WIRE WITH A NEW ONE. ON MY TICKET IT SAYS BULLETIN PIP5159. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME USUALLY THESE PLUG WIRES HAD BEEN FAILING ON TRUCKS WITH LESS MILES THEN MINE. SO I ASKED IF THE OTHER WIRES COULD FAIL AND HE SAID YES-SO BE AWARE AND READY FOR MORE TO FAIL. *TR

SEATS
WHEN TURNING THE SEAT POPS AND MOVES IN THE DIRECTION YOU ARE TURNING. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE. I ADDRESSED IT AGAIN 7-8 MONTHS LATER AND THE DEALER STATED THERE IS NO FIX. THEY SAID IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE SEAT IS IN THE TOP ADJUSTMENT POSITION, THIS IS INCORRECT, IT HAPPENS AT ALL ADJUSTMENTS AS I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THIS WILL GET YOUR ATTENTION ENOUGH TO THINK SOMETHING IS HAPPENING AND YOU JUST CANNOT GET USED TO IT ALMOST A YEAR LATER. IT SCARED MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER ENOUGH TO WHERE THEY WILL NOT DRIVE IT ANY LONGER. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE FORWARD COLLISION ALERT SYSTEM IS NOT SAFE. I HAVE HAD THIS GO OFF ON ME OVER 100 TIMES IN 25,000 MILES AND ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT A FEW TIMES. THE LED ON THE DASH WILL FLASH AND THE SEAT WILL VIBRATE CAUSING YOU TO REACT THINKING YOU ARE GETTING READY TO HIT SOMETHING. THIS OCCURS IN 3 SITUATIONS: 1) APPROACHING AN UNDERPASS WHILE THE SUN IS SHINING INTO THE WINDSHIELD, WHICH IS DAILY FOR ME DURING MY COMMUTE. 2) IN A LANE ON THE HIGHWAY CLOSEST TO THE BARRIER WALL, IT THINKS YOU ARE GOING TO HIT IT HEAD ON I GUESS. 3) ON A 2 LANE SIDE ROAD WITH APPROACHING CARS ARE THE ARE PASSING BY ON YOUR DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DETECT IF THIS IS DUE TO THE SUNSHINE OR HEAD LIGHTS. SO THIS CAUSES A MAJOR ALERT REACTION TO YOU EACH TIME, THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE AS A REACTION TO NOTHING BUT ALERTS CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN ITSELF. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, POWER TRAIN
I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN HOW MY TRUCK IS RUSTING. IT HAS THE AMOUNT OF RUST THAT I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE ON A TRUCK AFTER 7 - 10 YEARS. THE TRUCK'S UNDERBODY INCLUDING THE FRAME IS RUSTING EVERYWHERE. FOR A TRUCK THAT HAS ONLY 6,000 MILES ON IT THIS IS RIDICULOUS. WHATEVER WAS SPRAYED ON THE FRAME IS JUST PEELING OFF IN CHUNKS. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP IN ANOKA, MAIN MOTORS LOOK AT THIS WHEN I GOT AN OIL CHANGE TODAY AND THEY AGREED THE RUST IS EXCESSIVE BUT GM HAS TOLD THEM TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT BASED ON PI0281D. GM CLAIMS THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE MOST RUST RESISTANT TRUCK EVER. *TR

SUSPENSION, STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS
AT LESS THAN 2,000 MILES, THE FRAME AND REAR AXLE IS RUSTING THROUGH THE "PROTECTIVE" WAX COATING. WHERE MY DEALER PLACED JACK POINTS WHEN JACKING UP THE VEHICLE DURING PRE-SALE INSPECTION, THERE ARE DISTINCT RUST MARKS IN THE SHAPE OF THE JACK POINT. THE AXLE HAS RUST SPOTS INCREASING IN SIZE EVERY WEEK. THE FRAME HAS RUST SPOTS INCREASING IN SIZE AND APPARENT SEVERITY EVERY WEEK. THE WAX COATING IS OFTEN FOUND IN FLAKES UNDER MY TRUCK IN MY GARAGE IN THE MORNING. I HAD A 2011 SILVERADO THAT, AT 22K, HAD ZERO FRAME RUST AND IT WAS EXPOSED NUMEROUS TIMES TO CHICAGO AND MINNEAPOLIS WINTERS, INCLUDING THE HEAVY ROAD SALT. THIS NEW TRUCK HAS NEVER LEFT GEORGIA SINCE ITS PURCHASE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THIS VEHICLE OVER TIME IF THE FRAME WILL RUST AS MUCH AS IT HAS IN LESS THAN 2,000 MILES. WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE AT 50K MI.? *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, POWER TRAIN
WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 72 MPH +, THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE VERY BADLY TO THE POINT WHERE YOU CAN NOT DRIVE SO FAST. IT COMES AND GOES AND WHEN IT COMES BACK SOMETIMES EVEN AT REDUCED SPEEDS OF 65MPH THE VEHICLE STILL VIBRATES VERY BAD. I HAVE INFORMED GM OF MY ISSUE AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHOOSE NOT TO DO ANYTHING. REALLY, BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. THE VIBRATION IS SO BAD THAT IT CAN NUMB YOUR BODY BY THE END OF YOUR DRIVE OR DISTRACT YOU ENOUGH TO CRASH. I DRIVE UP TO 9 HOURS WITH MY VEHICLE FOR WORK AND IT IS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO SEE IF I CAN GET HELP TO STOP THIS ISSUE FROM HAPPENING. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ALSO HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, GM IS IGNORING THEM AS WELL. *TR
