general problems of the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

Vehicle will crank but will not start. Throws code u0109. Fuel pump control module is on backorder with no estimated time frame. I am not the only person this is happening to with a truck that we are making payments on and will not run.

“service trailer brake system” warning on dic. Vehicle undriveable, inop, safety issue! start truck, the above warning will flash off and on, code c1117 dtc.

Solved my u029e with "exhaust fluid service" and "reduced speed". For the past month I have been working on this issue on my 2017 Silverado 2500hd lt 6. 6l. Tonight I purchased my 3rd nox2 (downstream) sensor and immediately everything was fixed. So, what happened? why did the previous 2 nox sensors not work? a clue came from gm parts direct as the original part number was listed as "discontinued". Previously we had purchased 2 numbers matching nox2 sensors 12676706. So why did these sensors not work when the one see image below immediately worked? chevy! they programmed out part number 12676706 from the computer and programmed in 12718676. 12718676 cured our u029e and "exhaust fluid service" and "reduced speed" issues. Companies are still selling nox2 part number 12676706 because it was the original device do not purchase the discontinued nox2 sensor 12676706. Instead purchase the 12718676 part number.

Another day another code. P11db (nox upstream). Now I am at nox downstream, nox upstream, def pump, cylinder 7 wire connector, trailer brake controller wire harness, temperature sensor, and a dozen chafing wire harnesses because they are pulled to tight, have extreme bends in them or are rubbing against the frame, bumper, etc. Chevy recommended that I replace the cylinder 7 injector which was not the issue. At this rate if I paid chevy to diagnose and repair this vehicle I would easily be $5,000+ in repairs since chevy wants to do cab-off maintenance on everything now. This is manufacturer defects and consumer fraud and nthsa is not holding chevy accountable for. My dad has a 1978 pinto that he can start up and run to town but my 2017 silverado can't even leave the farm.

This is my 3rd complaint within 6 days. The entire electrical system in this 2017 Silverado 2500hd lt 6. 6l appears to be committing suicide. First it was the brake controller unit, diesel injector connector (cylinder 7), p1050 def level sensor, u029e nox sensor module 2 communication lost, u02a3 lost communication with particulate matter sensor module, and now p018b code: fuel pressure sensor "b". At what point will the manufacturer be held accountable for manufacturer defects on this vehicle (including the dorman 603-009 coolant reservoir)? every pump and sensor on the truck is failing within a week of the trailer brake controller failure? why is every wire harness on this vehicle (like so many others) failing? I cannot trust that I can even drive this vehicle without either stabilitrac shutting it down or the defective wire harnesses catching fire.

Engine wiring harness failure on my 2017 Silverado 2500hd lt 6. 6. This time it is the cylinder 7 connector which is a very common complaint by chevy owners. The wiring harness was installed with wires that were to short for the rear cylinders causing them to fail prematurely. This connector is snapped into position forcing the wires to bend at a tight 90 degree angle. Chevy is trying to force owners to replace the entire wiring harness instead of replacing just the defective connectors (gm 19368140, acd pt3739). This failure causes the engine to idle and operate so rough that it engages stabilitrac and forces reduced power mode.

I was driving with my front and rear motoried window defrost on because its cold outside right now when I started smelling something burning. I turned down the defrost knob. I opened the driver side window to air our the smell when suddenly the rear motorized window defrost sparked up into flames while I was driving. It was in full on burning up in flames. I pulled over and luckily I was able to put out the fire. I have contacted gm because when I google this issue it states gm put out a recall on 2014-2019 silverado hd trucks but upon speaking with a gm customer representative my truck there is no such recall on these trucks. I could have been killed or worse killed someone else on the road. I am considering getting a lawyer involved with this issue.

The engine glow plugs keep failing, I have replaced 4 already and 2 more are now failed. The vehicle only has 66k miles on it currently and the failures started around 50k. I do not understand why this hasn't been recalled like the 2018 trucks, they share the exact same engine.

When transiting between airport and home in very remote area in subzero temps the def warning system suddenly came on limiting vehicle speed progressively. No services were available both at this time of day and in this very remote area. There needs to be some way to override this system in the case of potential life and death. There were no warnings that this system was going to activate, it simply came on. The system had plenty of fluid but it appears the def heater failed. A vehicle should have an override for life and safety matters. Vehicle is going to a diesel mechanic for service now.

I recently began getting “service trailer brakes” on my screen. This only occurs when towing trailers and not a single trailer. These trailer do not cause the alarm on similar vehicles either. I took it to the shop who didn’t look at my vehicle for a week. During this time my cell booster was plugged in the whole time, which drained the battery. The tech called and said it was a low voltage issue. I told him to disconnect the cell booster and charge the battery. He did and no more low voltage. Then he stated that there was no problem with the trailer brakes. I asked how that system was tested and he said they didn’t Ave a way to test it. Hmmm. There are number of these complaints all over the internet with the same “code” and gm is not able to, and unwilling to diagnose it and correct it.

I went to push the button for side mirror and rear window defrost and my daughter was in back seat said she smelled something and heard a buzzing noise . I didnt know what it was until today and I realized my rear defrost is not working but the mirrors do .

Feb 5th 2019 my truck was parked in my driveway and the blockheater eas plugged into my electrical outlet on my garage and at 1:00 a. M. I was awakened to a loud explosion. When I finally figured out the cause my truck and garage were on fire. 3 months later found out gm had recalled almost 400,000 trucks my same year, make and model due to engineblock heater cords shorting out apparently. I have yet to receive a notice on my truck. The accident was a total loss and there was damage done to my garage. ## VIN passed ## chevy Silverado 2500 hd 2017 ##.
