In June of 2019 my vehicle was brought into begnal motors in kingston NY with the check engine light on. There was also a warning for the stabiltrax system and low oil pressure. I brought it to begnal motors because that is where I purchased the vehicle. The vehicle was still under warranty at this point. They being a Dodge dealer then sent the truck over to romeo chevy who diagnosed it as an engine misfire. They had the truck for two months for the repair which the warranty covered. I got the truck back and soon after the engine light came back on. At this point the vehicle was no longer under warranty. It took the vehicle to my local mechanic absolutely auto in new paltz NY. They send a code for the oil pressure sensor and the O2 sensor where showing up. They replaced both sensors. After the work was done the oil pressure sensor still wouldn't clear and the engine light came back on. The mechanic told me that these sensors are known to have problems on the silverado. He then rechecked he's work to make sure there was a new screen on the sensor and there was. The code(p0521 I believe)still wouldn't clear. He then referred me to take the vehicle back to romeo chevy because they had done all the work on it previously. I brought the truck back to romeo and they did a complete diagnostic test and got no answers. They then did anther oil change and an oil pressure test with no result on clearing the oil pressure code. Romeo chevy has at this point had my truck for another three months unable to diagnose the problem. They now say I need a new engine and that the oil pressure issues cannot be fixed. Their service rep told me they had another silverado recently with similar issues and they had to replace the engine in that vehicle. I would appreciate some help in this matter the vehicle has only 105000 miles and I am being told it needs a new engine because of oil pressure.
