ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE VEHICLE THROWS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY (AVG ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS). IT OCCURS AROUND 65 MPH (INTERSTATE) WHICH, LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A MISFIRE ON ONE OF THE CYLINDERS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE. SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED AND THEY SAID IT FIXED THE ISSUE; YET IT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. I NOTICE NO POWER LOSS WHEN IT COMES ON (BLINKS). THIS LIGHT BLINKS ROUGHLY 30-45 SECONDS AND GOES OFF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER
VEHICLE WAS REMOTE STARTED IN DRIVEWAY. BEFORE THE 1ST CYCLE RAN OUT AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE I OPENED THE REAR DOOR AND BLACK SMOKE CAME OUT AND COULD SEE SMOKE EMITTING FROM BEHIND THE HEADRESTS OF THE BACK SEAT BY THE SLIDER REAR WINDOW. THE REAR DEFROST HAD STARTED ON FIRE. THE REAR WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE SPIDERWEBBED WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 7 DEGREES WITH WINDCHILL BELOW 0. NO RECALL LISTED HERE IN US AT THIS TIME I COULD FIND. RECALL #192220470 IN CANADA WAS LISTED FOR 2014-2018 TRUCKS.

POWER TRAIN
MY SILVERADO IS EXHIBITING THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES DESCRIBED IN MANY COMPLAINTS HERE ALREADY, I.E., A SLIPPING/SHUDDERING FEELING AS IT PROGRESSES THROUGH THE GEARS AND A FREQUENT CLUNK/BANG AT TIMES WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME. I AM SURPRISED THERE IS NOT SOME SORT OF BULLETIN OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE CONSIDERING IT IS DESCRIBED SO EXACTLY IN SO MANY DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD CORRECT AT ITS EXPENSE.
