The engine block heater cord was recalled on my 2017 chevy duramax diesel. I brought my truck to my local dealership on August 21, 2019 for the recall and the cord was simply cut off. At that time there was not a remedy for the recall. I called Chevrolet customer assistance today, November 12, 2019, to check on this recall as the temperature in kansas is becoming very cold and I am needing the engine block heater. I spoke with sabrina and her supervisor michael who both informed me the new engine block heater cord has been released to cold weather states, not kansas. The only way for me to get the cord for my truck would be to drive to colorado, the closest state to kansas that the cord has been released to. Colorado is over 8 hours from me, not to mention the temperature is currently colder in kansas than colorado. This is just very frustrating, I paid for the engine block heater on my truck so I can use it. I got notice of this recall in may of 2019, now it's November with very cold weather and the issue has not been resolved.

Tl the contact owned a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. When the contact pulled into his driveway and plugged in the block heater, the vehicle caught fire a few minutes later in the engine compartment.

The failure mileage was 24,500.

The engine is unable to receive consistent fuel when you start the vehicle. It requires pushing down on the gas pedal multiple times and restarts to get the engine going. Then, while driving the engine loses fuel and causes the vehicle to turn off and essentially die. This has put me in 2 near wreck incidents already despite the gm dealerships saying there is no issue.

Low coolant warning message, this is a problem with 2015-2019 Chevrolet 2500 hd vehicles. They have a bulletin to correct to eliminate, but does not work. Problem was addressed at 23213 miles 7/23/2018, and now again at just under 60,000 miles September 2019. Per Chevrolet warranty, the affected parts should be covered under the engine emission warranty for 8 years 80,000 miles. Chevrolet warranty claiming this coolant sensor is covered by the 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. This error message comes on repeatedily an makes you have to stop and check coolant level, which is ok, but must be checked. Sensor is bad and Chevrolet will not cover under the stated warranty and states repairs are in excess of $600. 00. I have left messages for a supervisor to call me, to no avail. The problem is so wide spread, parts are on national back order and Chevrolet is aware of this. I personally believe they are trying to avoid a recall and control their financial exposure by telling customers this part is not covered under the correct portion of their warranty. This started in July 23, 2018 through current. Copies of warranty information will be attached as well as photo of warning message. This is a consumer emergency, many owners are experiencing the same problem.

Recently I have been noticing my Silverado with less then 20,000 miles has had really low oil pressure. Around 15-20 psi at idle and the transmisson slams into gear,.

Engine hesitation, or misfiring. Jerking, or transmission shuttering when engine is at low rpm and on incline. (I. E. When traveling about 45mph and start up a hill, the rpm's are about 1300, and the transmission doesn't gear down, so it starts shuttering until you give it more acceleration than usual. ) after dealing with this issue for nearly 8 months and 15k miles, I believe this safety issue should be recalled. Dealer originally acknowledge the problem but was unsure of the cause. After 5 repair attempts the dealer say they can't duplicate and the vehicle performs as designed.

In June of 2017, I bought a new Chevrolet Silverado. It runs great no problems. In November 2017 I called to make an appointment to have the oil changed. The service department told me that there is a recall on the chuggle drive quality. The service did what was needed to be done. I had to make a 5-hour trip up north when I noticed that my truck wasn't running like it was before the recall was done. I noticed that the transmission was shifting hard. When the cylinder deactivation went to 4 cylinders the engine lugs. Before the recall was done I couldn't tell when the cylinder activation was switching to 4 cylinders back to 8 cylinders it ran very smoothly no lugging of the engine. What concerns me now is when I was driving an went to make a left turn at slow speed the transmission downshifted hard where the back wheels locked up. Went through a drive through after I placed the order proceeded to the window my truck lunged forward from first gear to second gear. I am glad that no one was in front of me. I have taken it to the service department at the dealership several times. Was told nothing was wrong no codes came up. Even called gm got nowhere with them. The chuggle drive is a reprogramming of the transmission control module. Gm trying to fix one problem created another problem. I pull a 5000-pound camper with this truck with the issues I am having now with the transmission shifting hard and engine lugging I am afraid it might cause me to have an accident. My truck ran perfectly before the chuggle drive quality recall was done. The recall has to be the problem. It's not a good fix.

Noticed after purchase that there is vibration like a bad tire 35-42 mph. Vibration felt in seat,console and steering wheel 58-65 mph. Transmission down shifts hard sometimes feels like being bumped from behind,it also hesitates and jerks after letting off the accelerator and accelerating again between 25-45 mph. When accelerating it surges,jerks and stumbles. Sometimes when accelerating the transmission downshifts and hangs in that gear until you let off the accelerator. Under heavy acceleration there is vibration in the power train and the transmission seem noisy. At 25 mph it shutters like the transmission is in to high of a gear under light acceleration. Returned to waldorf Chevrolet where I purchased it and was told they balanced 2 tires and reset the road force,scanned transmission no codes transmission ok after shop foreman road tested for 21 miles no other repairs needed. Picked it up driving home noticed all the problems were still there and after inspection of my wheels noticed that the wheels were balanced still had the old weights still on the wheels with new weights also. Made another appointment this time to have shop foreman (rick) ride with me to show him what it was doing which we did and left my truck again. After 8 days I am told it was ready I was told they did a pico scope test and the driveshaft was being replaced then only tested it was ok. Checked run out on flanges all within specs. Found the right rear tire bad. They put steel wheel from another truck on and road tested with no change. They drove another truck and it rides the same. Even has the shutters on hard acceleration. Said they called gm tac back and they don't see a problem with this. Written documents be sent via mail. Made another appointment.

Camshaft lifter failure (collapsed / stuck), #1 cylinder after engine was idle for ~5 minutes. Vehicle had 9701 miles at time of incident. This appears to be a relatively common issues with regards to the active fuel management systems on late model gm vehicles equipped with this technology. The service writer at the dealership noted that they have seen several vehicles in for service with the issue of a "collapsed" or "stuck" lifter requiring replacement. There is definitely a flaw in the design or the grade of materials being used as a lifter should not be failing at this rate with very little usage.

My oil pressure sending unit has been replaced twice in two months. The oil pressure will be fine when starting the engine cold then gradually as the engine warms up it drops and drops until the "low oil pressure" light comes on and the display says to stop engine. After shutting off the engine for only a few seconds and then restarting the oil pressure is back around 30 then will drop and drop and will have to repeat. This last time I was driving 80mph and the oil pressure gauge went down to around 5. As soon as it was restarted it was around 30. The first replacement was on 1/19/2016. This last was replaced 03/07/2016.

I have a 2015 chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with 5000 miles. While driving to work ( less then 2 miles) my service 4wd system warning came up. The truck is stuck in 4wd can not switch it out. Also while stuck in 4wd turning is very difficult. Called dealership they told me it was safe to drive it in. While on my way to the dealership still stuck in 4wd my check engine and traction control lights came on. The truck started to shack and shifting at random and the rpm were all over up and down. I got to the dealership and checked in they took it for a test drive while I waited. After waiting 4 hours they tell me the engine has issues they don't know what or why and that it will be a few days before they will know anything. So that waiting game begins.

Fuel leaking from engine. With 9595 miles on the engine the truck leaks fuel from the engine like crazy. Vehicle is 6 months old. Can't get chevy to pickup the rig because they say I need to call the fire department - the fire department tells me there is nothing they can do - been battling with chevy all day on this. Its a safety hazard cabin smells like the inside of a gas tank - I don't feel save driving it anywhere.
