I have a concern about the 5. 3 liter engine in my 2013 chevy Silverado. I am encountering piston slap for up to 5 minutes when starting vehicle. I have contacted gm multiple times, and I have had the piston slap noise documented at roy robinson Chevrolet in marysville wa. I am attempting to get my defective engine replaced under warranty, but gm does not seem to care. I am concerned one of the pistons could fail, causing engine failure, putting myself or a family member in a fatal situation. I believe this issue is important to have documented. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Fax fwd ltr fm (mo) re 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck uncontrolled engine failure, constituent's vehicle VIN was not included in recall notice but consumer experienced similar recall issues, reply to kansas city, mo ofc. The consumer stated in the summer of 2008 while driving, the vehicle suddenly stalled. He was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road and eventually it started again. There were no more problems until April 2009. The consumer was driving home from work, when suddenly the vehicle stalled again. Finally, a minute later the vehicle started again. The consumer took the vehicle to aamoco and upon diagnosis, the consumer was instructed to take the vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer, because a code displayed, which directed them to a safety recall. The recall was in reference to a crankshaft position sensor that could intermittently, or fail completely. The consumer went to the dealer and explained the situation. The dealer did in fact agree the problem was a defective crankshaft position sensor, but Chevrolet refused to pay for the repairs, because his VIN was not included in the recall. Updated 10/06/10.

The consumer stated water seeped into the engine distributor without warning. As a result the engine failed. The consumer wrote about two vehicles, the second VIN #1gcec14w62z343895 same make and model. The consumer felt that the problem was with the a/c conditioner hose (metal) was routed over the distributor and condensation was forming on the hose and running onto the distributor causing failure.

2002 chevy Silverado with a 4. 8l engine knock, from what gm said is piston slap. They said they will not fix this problem at this time. They said they send out a letter of warranty for six years or 100,000 miles, if engine fails due to the piston slap/knock. I think that something needs to be done about this. There could be a safety issue with this, such as engine failure on the interstate. We the consumer should not be told to deal with it, when paying up to 30,000 dollars for a new vehicle, that has a piston knock. This needs to be fixed, not covered up.

Engine knocks very badly at cold or hot start up. Knocking lasts for minutes. Chevrolet says they know about problem. States that the piston skirts are too short causing piston wobble. They also start they can't fix at this time. Engine sounds like a diesel at start up noise is so bad. I am nervous to take truck out of town for fear of engine failure.

5. 3l engine developed a knock at approx 17000 miles. Complaint made to gm dealership, they acknowledged the issue and stated that "gm is aware of problem and working on a fix". Gm now claims it is normal engine noise and no fix required. If it's normal why don't all the 5. 3's do it ? gm has issued me an "extended component warranty" for the engine only for an additional 2 years and 64k miles after expiration of factory 3/36. If they won't fix under warranty now what good is and extended warranty?? gm needs to resolve this engine problem now before customers start seeing engine failures and abnormal oil usage because of it. Nhtsa, as well as state attorney generals offices needs to make gm resolve this issue of consumer fraud for not honoring the warranty and to resolve the issue.
