ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

2017 Colorado All of a sudden I was just driving down the road going 55mph, and my truck shut off. No warning light just died completely. I almost got rear-ended by the car behind me. I could not start the truck back up at all. If I had been in construction zone someone could have seriously got injured or killed, Huge safety issue. I had the truck towed to the chevy dealer, it took the sever days to find out the issue. The wiring harness behind the motor, was rubbing on the fire wall, causing several wires to become exposed and short out.

I contacted chevy customer support they didn't seam interested is fixing a safety issue, no there problem after warranty are over.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While traveling down the highway at 70-75 MPH a wrist pin failure occurred. This lead to a rod punching a hole in the bottom part of the engine, obviously I lost all engine power and had to coast to the side of the road in traffic. Looking online there are wrist pin studies conducted by Geen diesel engineering company that shows obvious manufacturing defect in gm wrist pins. Upon further research I have found that this is a common failure with the 2.8 liter diesels. I contacted gm they informed me that this is not a documented problem which has set me back about $14,000. I found out that I’m not alone from what I have found it seems to affect 2016-2017 models. I’ve seen failures occurring within 7000 miles.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

My keys continue to get stuck in the key ignition slot. It doesn't matter if I am parked in a flat, incline or decline position. I have to lock and unlock my vehicle several times and sometimes it works. I live in Texas and it is unbearable to have to do this over and over by turning on and off the vehicle. Meanwhile, my child is baking in the car seat while this is taking place. It has also drained my battery while I had no choice but to run into work so that I wouldn't be terminated. Only to come back after 20 minutes to a drained battery and then having to call someone to jump start my vehicle. I am fed up and wished I had never bought this Chevy truck. So much for American made vehicles! My vehicle started having this issue around 45,000 miles and now I am at 59,850. The dealership stated they are months behind and cannot see my truck for at least a month. They want to run a diagnostics test and charge me for it.What good would that be if the power train warranty is over at 60,000? But they claim it's not a power train issue and that they are familiar with this chronic issue because they see it all the time,yet no recall by Chevy? UPSET SINGLE TEXAS MOM

SEAT BELTS

Potential Consequences:

Over the course of the past year, I've noticed the seat belt tightening against my body as I drive, even without slowing or braking. In the past two weeks, the tightening is so severe that I am unable to pull the seat belt out from locking up. It becomes difficult to unbuckle. This morning the seat belt would not pull out from the pocket where it retracts, but remained locked up there. With much very slow continuous pulling, after about 30 minutes, I was finally able to pull the seat belt so I could actually use it while driving. When the seat belt locks up, it restrains my ability to turn to check the blind spot before changing lanes, or even to lean forward. I am taking the truck to the dealer tomorrow morning, first thing, 0700 03AUG2021

POWER TRAIN

Potential Consequences:

THIS IS THE THIRD TIME I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME. THE FIRST TIME I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE SECOND TIME, THEY REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THIS TIME THEY ACKNOWLEDGED A PROBLEM AGAIN AND AND SAID GM ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THIS. I HOPE THIS REPAIR WORKS THIS TIME. BUT MY CONCERN IS, HAVING BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE, HOW LONG WILL THIS REPAIR LAST, AND 2) WILL IT LAST TILL THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED? HAVING LOOKED THROUGH THIS LIST SINCE THE FIRST PROBLEM IN 2018, I HAVE SOME MAJOR CONCERNS WITH THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION IN THIS TRUCK. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS BY ISSUING A RECALL OR EXTENDING THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY ON THIS MODEL. I NEED THIS VEHICLE TO LAST AND RIGHT NOW IT DOESNT LOOK GOOD.
