Driving down the road and truck just starts stalling out. Got it to the Ford dealership who says there is rust in the tank and the fuel filter is full of it. This is a safety issue as I was barely able to get off of the road. These trucks need to be recalled for the fuel tanks. I've had vehicles that have never had problems like this with the rust. They at least need to be checked out.

They refuse to repair the fuel filter housing at their, when I took vehicle in to be checked out it states that this needs to be repaired and could be a safety hazard as fuel can leak into housing and catch fire. I told the customer care agent of my concern about the safety of this issue and was told that gm/chevy would not pay for it!

2007 Chevrolet k3500 duramax power problem: on two occasions I have had a near total loss of power problem with my 2007 k3500 duramax. Both occurrences were identical. There was a loss of power that severely limited acceleration and top speed. The details of the conditions are as follows: ? rpm will not go above 2200rpm ? max speed 49 mph (truck unloaded - it takes about 1 - 1 1/2 miles to get some speed back following event) ? all gauges indicate normal operating ranges ? engine temp, transmission temp, oil pressure normal ? the only way to increase speed is to come up to 2200 rpm, let off the accelerator to cause transmission to shift and then repeat the process ? service engine light came on ? low engine power readout on history: first occurrence: ? 5/9/2008, odometer 7,779 miles, desert sun of roswell nm Chevrolet 505 625-1000, invoice ctcs148596 ? installed new calibration update for p0402 second occurrence: ? 12/29/2009, odometer 24,339 miles, independence Chevrolet of bloomsburg PA 570 784-2720, invoice cvcs300288 ? advised by factory to update pcm calibrations ? note, on 10/26/2009 truck was inspected for updates at my request and my cost. The system was scanned, hooked to gm net and no updates were found. Conclusions: there seems to be an as built problem with the turbo charger, computer controls and sensors for this truck. I highly suspect that gm is aware of the problem and the repair needed although no recall has been issued to date. This problem may be deemed to expensive to repair under warranty by gm. My suspicion is based on the fact that gm knows that if they reload the pcm calibration data the system will somehow reset itself and work again for a while. Danger: a near total loss of power on the road is serious. Speed goes to 20-30 mph quickly. This is essentially a no fuel event. If the truck is loaded or pulling a trailer the event becomes more dramatic and unsafe. Please help!.

2001 chevy silverado diesel - doing 65 mph on the highway - motor starting skipping and then had a loss of power. Diesel fuel can be smelled. Pulled off highway and checked the truck. Diesel fuel was found blown all over the undercarriage including the exhaust. I was worried that the truck would catch on fire. Brought the truck to a chevy dealer to get checked out and found out it was caused by faulty injectors that chevy is aware of but if the truck is over 7 years old and is not covered by the "defective injector warranty". I don't understand how they issued a warranty on the part because they were aware that it was defective instead of having the part recalled.

I have a duramax diesel engine. I experienced the injectors failed causing my fuel to mix with the oil in my crankcase which caused my motor to seize. Gm has stated that the injectors did fail but will not fix the other damage that was caused by the injector failure. I received a letter from gm last year letting all duramax owners know of this exact problem. The letter said 'don't do anything unless they fail". Well they failed and gm will not fix my engine. They want to replace it to a tune of $13,000 to me!!!!!! please help me. I have talked to many other duramax owners who have experienced the same engine failure.
