general problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

For the last couple years, I have been talking to Chevrolet gm. My engine has been replaced at 9000 miles. This motor now does not even have 100,000 miles on it. The second engine left me stranded twice coming back from a long trip. The motor shook stalled and I could not get it. Restarted once I did get it restarted the engine made a loud banging noise my truck looks practically brand new. It just sits in the driveway and looks pretty. I’m afraid to drive it because it’s gonna leave me stranded again and I have been talking with Chevrolet and he seemed to keep pushing me away and I don’t know what else to do.

Gm 3. 0 diesel engine has a coolant control valve that fails putting the vehicle into a reduced power mode causing the vehicle to have significantly reduced acceleration and putting the engine fan at full to reduce engine heat. When stopped, the engine had been running very hot as you can hear the popping from the metal as it cools off. The part to repair this issue is 40009158 and is being replaced by 40009452. This part is on a nationwide backorder with hundreds on the waiting list just at this time for a repair and no clear picture of when parts will become available. Many other cases have been reported since 2021 for the same issue with the 3. 0 gm duramax engine with engine code/styles lm2 & lzo.

I just bought this truck in June of 2024. This was a bad dealer because he knowingly sold me the truck with severe frame damage and let me drive a dangerous truck off the lot. I cannot deem it as a total loss to have it replaced because it falls under “wear and tear”. I now have to pay for the truck for the next 5 years and don’t have the money to fix it because the quote states it will be around $13,000, which is how much he sold me the truck for. Because it is a 2010 the warranty has expired. I am completely frustrated and disappointed that there is no one to help me with this betrayal. I have read that many others who have bought GMC’s are and have had the same issues and gm refuses to recall the frames. Something needs to be done about this considering it is gm who did not apply any anti-rust or anti-corrosion to the frames on their vehicles.

Engine has a loud tapping sound and starting to stumble, have a collapse lifter on a 5. 3l. Sell it or trade it in only wanna give me $2500 for due to the engine failure. I’ve maintained this vehicle. I work in the automotive industry change the oil every 5000 miles changed all the fluids spark plugs, brakes tires, no tears no rips, immaculate and I have a weight I’ve had it since 2012 or 2013 engine failure is not acceptable well like compensation or have it repaired?.

Truck purchased by my father in 2010 from Chevrolet dealership. I purchased the truck from him in 2016. The truck has under 120,000 miles and due to faulty engine and sensors the vehicle has seized leaving me with thousands in repair and no vehicle. Thr vehicle broke down on me with my children several times losing pwoer, shaking uncontrollably. There was oil and the pressure unit did not read low or shut the truck down. . My truck also has an airbag recall from 2016 that there is no remedy for. I still make payments on this vehicle and it is extremely unsafe costing thousands for repair. Gm should be responsible for faulty vehicles.

Bought 2010 silverado thought my warranty would cover it only had vehicle for one year and now it needs new motor which is the piston rings causing this to go bad and I have vehicle I'm still paying for but cant use it I bought it used from a dealer but now I need a new motor and apparently there is other people out there with the 5. 3 motors that are having the same problem with there engines failing prematurely because of the piston rings failing and I got it diagnosed and have paper work saying I need complete engine rebuild or engine replacement and my warranty company wont cover it because of carbon being build up inside of motor.

While driving on a highway stabilitrack turns off then few seconds later traction control turns off then I get either a cylinder misfire or throttle body code. Truck then goes into reduced power mode with rough idle. I can clear the codes with obd reader and it runs fine for a while.

" takara recall ". While drive truck, stabikitrak light comes on stating that stabikitrak is off. Light then turns off. Other issue stabikitrak light comes on stating stabikitrak off, traction control off reduce engine power. Dash stats stabikitrak needs service, traction control needs service engine still in limp mode. Pull truck onto the shoulder or someone's driveway to turn truck off. Truck off for 15 seconds to 1 minutes. Restart the truck and drives just fine. Took it to shop. Items that has been replaced and still didn't fix the problem throttle body, throttle body sensor, map sensor, mass sensor, abs module, tried to put a new ecu on it didn't work so put old on back on. Changed out front wheel hubs assembly and still didn't fix the problem. The vehicle is I'm motion driving down the road on normal to wet to cold to warm. All this is happening in both city, highway and turning. Its causing a safety issue due to the truck going into limp mode and having to pull it off the shoulder or someone's driveway.

Three different times the truck throtle stuck to the floor only way to correct it was to turn the key off then the gas petal would release. Would haft to pull off road then restart the truck. The truck was on hwy,eather passing or pulling on the interstate.

I own a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 68 mph on the highway, the check engine warning indicator illuminated, service stabiltrack and reduced engine power warning all came on at once causing the truck to reduce speed quickly and dangerously on the highway. I was almost rear ended as the my speed went from 68 mph to less than 30 mph in an instant. Thankfully the gentleman was able to slow in time- through on his hazards and help escort me to the emergency shoulder. My truck has approximately 67,000 mile on it and this problem has now happened 5 times at various speeds. I have researched this matter and this is know issue and is all over the gm forums with multiple models. Each fix reported comes after customers have spent hundreds of dollars for the dealers to locate the issues. Gm/chevy are aware of this issue and yet there is nothing about a recall for this issue even though it is caused from a known defective part and causes a dangerous driving situation!.

Bought the truck in April, 2016 and now have a constant knock from engine. I was told it is probably the lifters. I did research to find many others having issues with lifters on vehicles that have the afm/dod which controls fuel and cylinder use when at steady highway speeds. I travel by highway to and from work. I still owe $17,000 on this truck. It is my only means of transportation.

Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph a audible chime activated and the message "shut vehicle off low oil pressure" had displayed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the oil sensor was faulty. The oil sensor was replaced but the failure continued to occur. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.

While driving the vehicle will alert "stabilitrack off" and then moments later "engine power reduced". You are then forced to immediately pull over and turn off the vehicle for at least 1 minute before turning it back on. This can happen on roads where it is dangerous to pull over putting myself and others at risk for an accident. The transmission has been replaced and no other auto shop has an answer for me as to what is causing the issue. The computer has been reset multiple times and sometimes this will help the issue not happen for a long length of time but the issue always comes back. I have read hundreds of reviews of other owners having the same issue, the conclusion is no one has the same fix and the majority of the time there is no fix.

Driving down highway the service stailbitrack control comes on with reduce engine power. The truck hesitates and can not get up to speed. I travel the highway everyday and this is a very serious problem.

Driving 65 on cruise control when check engine, stability control lights came on. Message center said reduced power I got to a small service garage and he told me I should shut it off wait 15 minutes and it will reset and it did. I drove another 80 miles again the same thing happened. The first garage guy told me it was a gm issue and I should go see them they should repair it. He said it was a problem with the throttle body assembly and in the cold it get sluggish and gm should fix it because they had problems with some of them. It happened again 20 miles later. I got back to the gm dealer where I purchased it he confirmed it was they throttle body assembly but didn't have time to replace it. He offered to clean it (free of charge) and sent me on my way telling me if it happened again I should make an appointment to replace (approx. 400-600 dollars). I done some investigating on this matter and found this was a common issue. I stopped at another gm dealer and explained my problem he confirmed the original theory checked the VIN # and told me gm is fixing this problem for 10 years from the original purchase date. I guess I need to stop buying from my original gm dealer where I had purchased my last two vehicles. I have not had a problem with it again but I have only driven 600 miles since then.

When you are going about forty miles per hour, there is some vibration under the truck. I took it to the dealer they said it was from the cold in the morning. Happens all the time. If you goggle the problem, it has other people discussing the matter. Wish had know about this site before. Thank you.
