FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE TRUCK HAS A RAW FUEL SMELL UNDER HOOD AND DRAWN IN THE CABIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS RUNNING BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING. ATTACHED IS LEN LYALL CHEVROLET'S DIAGNOSIS OF LEAKING HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINES UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN 40,866 MILES. I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT COVERED BY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY BUT BY THE 3 YEAR 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. THERE IS ONE (TSB #15-NA-002) AND TWO RECALL/ CAMPAIGNS (#14858 AND #13331) FOR THIS KNOWN FAILURE. THIS IS A SAFETY, HEALTH AND EMISSIONS CONCERN DUE TO POSSIBLE FIRE, HIGH/ FAILING EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS, AND RESPIRATORY HEALTH PROBLEMS. I FEEL THIS VEHICLE SYSTEM FAILURE SHOULD BE COVERED BY WARRANTY OR EMISSIONS WARRANTY. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER, I HAVE ALREADY HAD IT IN FOR CORROSION AT THREE MONTHS, 8+ RECALLS. NOW IT WON'T SHIFT CORRECTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN (STOPLIGHT) AND THEN TAKING OFF AGAIN. IT IDLES ROUGH ALL THE TIME AND EVEN DIES AT TAKE-OFFS UNLESS I CAN FINAGLE THE GAS PEDAL JUST RIGHT. I TOOK IT IN TO A GREAT DEALERSHIP, THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT IDLES ROUGH, HOWEVER, THEY SAID GM SAID THAT IS NORMAL. THE CORROSION STARTED AT MONTH 3, AND PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. I TOOK IT BACK IN FOR THE CORRSION AND GM TOLD THE DEALSHIP I AM ON MY OWN TO PAY FOR THE (SAME LOCATION) CORRSION REPAIR, AS THE WARRANTY WAS UP (36,500 MILES).

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO WHEN I WAS FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS THE FILL NECK PARTIALLY BROKE LOOSE AND I SPILLED ABOUT A CUP OF GAS AT A LOCAL GAS STATION. I LOOKED TO SEE A PLASTIC PLUG HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE FILL NECK TO COME LOOSE WHEN FUELING. I REPORTED THIS TO THE DEALER WHO INFORMED ME THEY HAVE HAS "A COUPLE DOZEN OCCURRENCES SIMILAR" THEY SAID THEY WOULD REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART WITH THE SAME PART. THIS IS ONE FASTENER THAT NEEDS TO BE METAL AND HELD IN WITH A LOCK WASHER. (NOT PLASTIC) SEE PIX. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM --SEE MY FIX WITH A METAL BOLT VS THE DEFECTIVE PLASTIC PLUG THAT COMES FROM THE FACTORY. PLS TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE BURNS UP IN A FIRE DUE TO THESE FILL NECK FASTENER PROBLEM. THANK YOU. [XXX] THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT A GAS STATION WHEN THE FILL NECK PARTIALLY BROKE LOOSE AND DROPPED DOWN,SPILLING GASOLINE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
THIS FAILURE HAS OCCURRED QUITE A FEW TIMES. DRIVING HOME THEN TURNING LEFT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND SHOOK VIOLENTLY BACK AND FORTH. I ALMOST HIT A CAR IN THE OPPOSITE LANE DUE TO THE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH, RADIO, AC FAN ALL FLICKERED AND SUDDENLY THE TRUCK SHUT OFF. I TURNED IT BACK ON AND DROVE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES AND WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH TELLING ME THE STEERING ASSIST IS OFF AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. WHEN I PUSHED THE WINDOW CONTROL UP WITH THE WINDOW SHUT THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN SHUTTING THE CRUISE CONTROL OFF WHEN I USED THE TURN SIGNAL. I'M WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILY'S SAFETY THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE AND CAN'T "FIND THE FAULT CODE" WHICH I FIND RIDICULOUS WITH ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CONTROLLING EVERYTHING. THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO FIX THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR

POWER TRAIN
SHORTLY AFTER GETTING MY TRUCK, I STARTED NOTICING A VIBRATION THAT APPEARED AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. I TOOK IT TO THE TIRE SHOP AND HAD THEM COMPUTER BALANCE, ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY WERE IN BALANCE. CALLED THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, AND THEY HAD NOTHING TO ADD.NOW I AM HEARING THAT MANY OWNERS OF THIS MODEL ARE HAVING THE SAME VIBRATION. NOW I HAVE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A GROUP OF ATTORNEYS THAT SAY THAT THEY ARE REPRESENTING THE TRUCK OWNERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I REALLY DO NOT WANT TO GET INTO SOME LEGAL THING. BUT WANT THE VIBRATION TO GO AWAY.

STEERING
I WAS ON MY WAY BACK FROM LUNCH DROVE TO MY NORMAL PARKING PLACE VEHICLE IN DRIVE FOOT ON BRAKE I STRAIGHTENED THE WHEEL SLIGHTLY AND THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED TURNING VIOLENTLY ONE DIRECTION, I TURNED IT BACK TO CENTER AND IT TURNED VIOLENTLY THE OTHER DIRECTION, ONCE AGAIN I STRAIGHTENED OUT THE WHEEL AND IT TURNED VIOLENTLY THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND IT TRIPPED A STABILTRAK LIGHT ON THE DASH AND QUIT. I TOOK IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE GUNN CHEVROLET IN SAN ANTONIO TEXAS 210-599-5000 AND A CALL FILED WITH CHEVROLET AND RECORDED TWICE THEY ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AS THIS IS HUGE FOR A VEHICLE TO START STEERING ITSELF FOR IF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IN NATURE NOT ONLY TO ME, MY FAMILY ALSO THOSE IN THE PUBLIC ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE BEEN ON THE LINE WITH GM AND TO NO AVAIL THEY ARE SAYING THE CAR IS SAFE, BUT I WORRY THAT THEY ARE PUTTING MONEY OVER SAFETY.
