general problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Engine suddenly stopped running while driving and could not be restarted. It was towed to a local diesel repair shop. Diagnostics showed a catastrophic failure of the high pressure fuel pump which polluted the complete fuel system with metal.

Fuel pump fuse socket has melted in addition to fuse being blown. Fuel pump had been replaced twice with oem fuel pump. Entire fuse box must be replaced. Occasionally, a no start condition can be traced to fuse contacts losing conductivity which can be resolved by removing them reinstalling fuse. Has potential of causing electrical fire.

I have a 2011 chevy 2500. 6. 6 turbo diesel at 136k miles. My def heater just went out and my dealership said it's only under warranty until 120k miles. I've been looking online and there's a lot of 2011s that are having the same problem. Someone needs to step up and be responsible for this. It's costing me $1200 to fix plus a day off work. I'm self employed and if I sell a faulty product I'm required to replace for free. G. M should be doing the same.

Exhaust manifold bolts are breaking despite regular non commercial use and proper maintenance. This causes an exhaust leak and I am not comfortable driving my infant in the truck now. Dealer says 4 how odd labor plus parts so approx $1000 fix? that's unreasonable for any motor but especially under 120000km.
