Three problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
On oct 4th, 2014 I was traveling from san angelo, TX to san antonio, TX, in my 2011 3500 Chevrolet diesel pickup, pulling our 5th wheel camper. When I neared junction, TX I could smell an odor of fuel. On I-10 eb mile 456, I noticed that my fuel gauge was rapidly dropping. When I left junction, the gauge read half full. At mile marker 497, I pulled into a rest stop, because the fuel gauge had dropped to the empty mark. I got out of the truck and could see the diesel pouring off the bottom of the motor. When the dripping stopped I attempted to start the truck, but it would not start. The starter motor was running, but the fuel tank was completely empty. In that distance the truck should have used five gallons of diesel pulling the trailer. Which means that about 14 gallons were dumped onto the highway within 40 miles. My truck was towed to cecil atkission Chevrolet in kerrville, TX. The diesel technician there told me that mine would be the 4th diesel he recently worked on with a similar issue. He even showed me another diesel truck that he was currently working on, also with a fuel leak.
The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that the fuel tank was filled with urea special fuel for diesel trucks. The contact was driving 5 mph, when the vehicle unexpectedly decelerated from 55 to 5 mph without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the mechanic stated that the heater in the urea tank had to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 59,000.
Everytime I go to the pump it kicks out like the tank is full. If you hold the nozzle as its barely coming out it will work normal but you cant even use the lowest notch on the pump to set it on to pump gas, it wont work. So it needs to be fixed and I've told the chevy dealer about it and they said there is nothing wrong with it and no recall. Im trying to make it a recall now so it will be fixed.
