Check Engine Light On problems of the 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to sullivan motors (3114 us 49 #3843, collins, ms 39428) where the vehicle received an unknown repair. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

My fuel pump control module pn20759945 shorted. Recall bulletin 14515 covers my model year and part number. However, gm claims my VIN is not covered by this. This is the same part and same failure listed in the recall bulletin, and imo it should be covered by gm. Fcpm's are poorly designed and poorly placed and fail on many many gm models over a number of years. This is an item that should be expanded to include all vehicles with that part number, especially if they are mounted externally and exposed to the environment such as on all chevy sliverados and related trucks. The fault in my case was a check engine light, and not a crank no start. I took the truck to gm for diagnosis. They said the fcpm needs replaced as it shows and internal fault. This is an expensive part and service,which should be covered by gm under the bulletin imo.

Truck had been sitting overnight. Woke up to 3rd brake light on. Opened cab door, smelled like smoke and check engine light on, would not turn over. Pop hood and the fuse box and wiring harness had been on fire, were completely melted. Insurance company won't cover because there was not substantial proof of fire, and could not find source. Filed a formal complaint with gm after the dealership told us the wiring harness had been discontinued (on a 7 year old truck). Gm won't do anything because they cannot find the source, and they have yet to acknowledge that they discontinued a part. We have no way of fixing this truck.

I was driving my 2009 Chevrolet silverado one morning on my way to school(luckily I wasn't to far from home when the incident occurred) when the vehicle lost power and the dash showed the check engine light, service stabletrak, and service traction control. When the incident occurred I was in the middle of the road when my vehicle began to decelerate and eventually was not able to go past 45 mph. I pulled over and my vehicle and parked, shut off the engine, and then started it back up only to show the same icons on the dash. After turning around and slowly returning to my house I shut the vehicle off and had to take my wife's car to work. Under other circumstances this could have gone extremely bad and an accident may have occurred. This seems to be a common trend on the internet and forums and needs to be addressed by gm!.

2009 Chevrolet truck began to reduce power and check the engine light came on and started surging. The consumer stated it seemed at times, the vehicle was going to stall, but instead it would surge up to 30 mph. It jerked, then it would go. The check engine light went out. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the foot pedal application sensor was replaced. On January 3, 2014, while driving on the freeway, the check engine light illuminated again and power to the vehicle, was significantly reduced, the check engine light went out again. The dealer found high resistance in the application sensor circuits and replaced a faulty sensor circuit.
