ENGINE
My 2016 Chevy at a stop light started jerking and then just shut off and wouldn’t start again. I had to have it towed and was told at the repair shop that it was the CP4 fuel pump that went. Of course I had them do all the repairs and they found metal shavings all through out the fuel system. I was without my truck for weeks and had to pay ridiculous cost of almost $13,000. With how often this is happening this should all be reimbursed to me and GM needs to step up and take care of it along with NHTSA.

TIRES:SIDEWALL
Tire size 285/45R22 114H . While driving on the interstate at 70 mph had a large vibration that started occurring. When I was pulling over to figure out what was going on I heard a loud bang and suddenly lost air pressure to the Drivers side front tire. Once pulled over I could see the tire was flat. Upon removal of the tire I found the inner sidewall had blown. The tread was also separating in the area where the damage was. The tires are only 2.5 years old and have only 22.5k miles. They have been rejuvenate rotated with the last rotation just 3k miles prior. The company refused to honor their warranty stating it looked like the damage was caused by a pothole (which never occurred).

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
If our trailer is plugged into the truck the warning "check trailer wiring" pops up. The warning ("check trailer wiring") would display and then the message "trailer connected" would generally happen. The trailer breaks disconnect during this time making it extremally dangerous for us and anyone else on the road if we need to stop quickly. This is not an issue with our new trailer as we pulled it with a 2017 Silverado with no issues.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Upon purchasing a New 2015 Silverado my factory paint started pealing around the rear doors approx. 1 year after owning the truck. Upon first sight of the pealing paint I took the truck back to the GM dealer and pointed out the 2 rear doors and the flaking paint. They told me that since I was out of bumper to bumper warranty coverage and over the 36,000 mile warranty they couldn't do anything for me. The issue was getting worse so I took it back again and this time I went through GM Corp. and they offered to give me a discount on the paint job to fix the issue. I'm sorry but a discount on a FACTORY PROBLEM is NOT ACCEPTABLE....especially if its going to cost me $2,000 of my own money to fix a GM PROBLEM!!!!

The 2018 Chevy Silverado was diagnosed by the Chevrolet Dealership doing-business-as ASCHENBACH CHEVROLET located at 925 East Main Street, Wytheville, VA 24382. The vehicle has not been inspected by the Manufacturer. When pressing down on the gas pedal, the truck would not accelerate as normal, then a message appeared on the dash-screen ENGINE LOOSING POWER.
