general problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

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.

Nothing.

I got a code p2138 throttle/pedal position sensor/switch. Upon doing my own research on this code I found out it is a manufacture defect. And they are aware this is caused because the manufacturer did not seal the antenna correctly so water gets in and damages wires and sensors.

Engine oil pressure was critically low. I could not drive the vehicle until I had it repaired.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle jerked and failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the ignition switch failed to turn over, and the catalytic converter failed and was replaced. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and was diagnosed with transmission failure. The vehicle was repaired. The catalytic converter was replaced; however, the ignition was not repaired. Most recently, the engine displayed several fault codes. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure; however, no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.

The vehicle is having electrical issues and it effects it by shutting off in the middle of traffic on a highway it also effects the throttle sensor by accelerating when you come to a stop at a stop light and the transmission jumps a gear when it does that.

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.

While driving on highway at 65-70 mph, electrical system shut down the tachometer, speedometer, fuel and all other gauges. Lights and turn signals remained on. Transmission downshifted and would not shift up after a complete stop. Shifting transmission to park, reverse or neutral would not register, but would shift. Service engine, abs light and stabilitrak off light came on. On a separate occasion message center read service traction control, service stabilitrak on a similar occurrence, while coming to a stop. This has occurred several times. Drove home, without speedometer and miles did not register on odometer.

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.

Transmission wont go forward it only goes on reverse. 64. 000 miles.

My husband and I were driving about 45 mph down a steep hill, towing a utility trailer, on sr87 in the mountains when the door locks clicked and the engine turned completely off with no warning. The steering wheel locked up and the brakes did not work. My husband put the car in neutral as it accelerated down a cliff and attempted to restart it with no luck. There were no cars immediately around us so we were able to coast to a stop on a steep incline. When we got out to check it, there was oil all over the wheel wells and still no warning lights had come on. We took it to the dealership and they told us the transmission was completely blown on our 6 year old truck. There was zero explanation as to why this would happen as well as to why we had no warning prior to the engine shutting off. We were told to pay better attention to the temp. Even though it did not overheat. Chevy offered no relief or help. We were quoted a price about $2000 less for the initial transmission repair than it would have cost so we took it to a non-dealership shop to repair. This weekend, the check engine light came on out of nowhere indicating loss of power and the stabilitrack warning came on even thought that was previously repaired by a dealership on a TSB about a year prior to the transmission going out. The code it threw this time was p0305 and we were on very limited power driving back home from a road trip. Could not go more than 40 mph uphill. Extremely concerned for our safety since the vehicle can turn off with no warning. Also, the money spent is ridiculous.

This has happened twice in the last week. Today I was sitting at a stoplight with my foot on the brake and suddenly without warning my 2010 silverado accelerated and lunged forward about 3 feet. Fortunately there was not a car or person in front of me or I surely would have had an accident then the engine started missing. At the same time my check engine light came on. Service traction control, service stabiltrak, engine power reduced flashed on my dash. I limped home at 10-15 mph max! after about an hour I started it and it ran just fine "both times". The first time this happened I was in a parking lot with the transmission in park. It is now at my local Chevrolet dealer for repair.

Entire vehicle shut off as if the key were turned off , this has happened 14 times in thirty months all at various speeds on various highways and at various times of day. You thus loose engine, power steering and power brakes.

The vehicle accelerates on its own, sometimes from a dead stop, sometimes while going at a set speed it will accelerate without pressing the accelerator. You have to forcefully put pressure on the brake to slow down. This happens at various times and at various speeds. We have written it down on every occasion and there are 16 so far. This vehicle has been to the dealer several times and they have yet to repair any of the problems. The manufacturer has never contacted us despite the problems and complaints.
