The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated that while driving 60-65 MPH, the vehicle experienced reduced power and went into LIMP Mode. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle after several minutes, as per the Owner's Manual. The transmission warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that it could take 1-2 weeks to diagnose the vehicle, and several months to repair the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a claim was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.

Hydraboost piston blew out, lost brakes and steering. Almost wrecked vehicle.

The transfer case wore a pine hole in the case from the oil pump spring lock not securing movement causing me to loose all oil from transfer case. This left me stranded when I could not shift into 4 wheel drive the could not get it to re- engage 2wheel drive. This could have possibly caused catastrophic loss of control had the transfer case locked up while driving at high speed on slick roads or if someone ran into me from sudden lock up of the drive train.

CANT REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED I BLACK OUT AND WOKE UP WITH COPS AROUND ME. THE FRONT END OF THE TRUCK IS WRECKED. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.

HYDRO BOOST HAS FAILED. IT WAS DISCOVERED BY GARDNERVILLE AUTO IN GARDNERVILLE, NEVADA . ON WEDNESDAY 1/15/2020. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND THEY SAID THERE NO RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE. THEY SHOWED OLD RECALLS ON LIGHTING AND POWER STEERING BUT NOTHING ON THE HYDRO BOOST. THE GARAGE SHOWS THREE DIFFERENT RECALLS ON THE HYDRO BOOST, TWO OF WHICH WERE REPORTED BY NTSB.

I HAVE CHANGED ALL 4 NEW TIRES IN 4 DIFFERENT TIMES EVERY YRS NOT SURE IF THAT A WHEEL PROBLEM. AND ALSO FIX MY FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM THAT WAS GIVE ME A PROBLEM IN THE PAST. NOW I REPLACE ALL NEW ROTOR BRAKE DISCS AND PAD IN 30 MINUTES OUT FROM A MECHANICAL SHOP IT'S SHOW A ENGINE LIGHT NOW SAYING RANGE SHIFT INHIBITED ON MY DASHBOARD. AND WHEN I'M SHIFTING TO DRIVE IT JUST REVERSE INSTEAD OF DRIVE. NOW IS BACK IN THE SHOP FOR NOW PROBLEM TO COME. FROM GARDEN CITY KANSAS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 EQUIPPED WITH PRIMEWELL VALERA HT HARRY TRUMAN TIRES, SIZE: LT265/75/R16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO HAVE ALL THE TIRES REPLACED ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIRES WERE DEFECTIVE AND COULD NOT BE BALANCED CORRECTLY. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

BRAKE LINES FAILED AFTER HAVING ALREADY BEEN REPLACED. FACTORY LINES CORRODED THROUGH AND TRUCK WAS SCARY TO SLOW DOWN. WAS FORTUNATE TO BE GOING AT LOW SPEEDS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA - BUT GLAD THERE WERE NO KIDS AROUND AND I NEEDED TO BRAKE QUICKLY!

FEDERAL COURAGA MT TIRE TREAD SEPARATION AT FREEWAY SPEEDS WITHOUT WARNING. NOT EVEN AT HALF OF THE TREAD LIFE NO SIGNS OF DAMAGE OR CRACKING PRIOR TO THIS. ALL OTHER TIRES LOOK OK BUT HAVE BEEN REPLACED FOR CONCERNS OVER THE SAFETY OF THE TIRES AND MANUFACTURING QUALITY

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND "LOW ENGINE POWER" FLASHED WHERE THE ODOMETER IS. THIS CAUSED THE RPM'S NOT TO GO OVER 2800. CODE READER CLAIMS O2 SENSORS OR THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE OR CATALYTIC CONVERTOR ISSUES. WE DISCOVERED IT WAS NONE OF THE ABOVE. TO FIX PROBLEM CHANGE 3 RELAYS LOCATED UNDER HOOD IN FUSE BOX. RELAY #8864. THEN CLEAR CODES, SHOULD FIX ISSUE UNLESS CODE PERSISTS. RELAYS WILL CAUSE A FIRE IF NOT CHANGED OUT ASAP.

POWER STEERING IS HARD TO TURN AND ALSO TAKES LONGER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, HYDRO BOOST IS LEAKING AT THE BASE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO TURN HARD AND SLOPPY STOPPING, DEALERSHIP SAYS NO WARRANTY FOR IT AND IT SHOULD BE OKAY AS LONG AS YOU KEEP FLUID FILLED, THAT COMMENT SOUNDS DANGEROUS AND UNSAFE FROM THE DEALERSHIP, IT CONTINUES TO LEAK POWER STEERING FLUID.

DRIVING SOUTH ON INTERSTATE 15 IN #1 LANE SOUTH OF CEDAR CITY, UTAH. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND WITHIN SECONDS THERE WAS A LOUD EXPLOSION WITH DEBRIS FLY A HEAD OF ME. I FOUGHT TO CONTROL MY VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN TO PULL OFF ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITH HITTING ANY ONE. THE TIRE THAT EXPLODED WAS ON LEFT FRONT. THE ENTIRE TREAD CAME OFF OF THE TIRE AND TIRE SEPARATED WHERE THE TIRE WAS SEAMED TOGETHER DURING MANUFACTURE. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE BENT FRONT BUMPER, TORE THE WHEEL WELL LINER, DENTED THE FRONT DOOR IN SEVERAL PLACES AND DENTED ROCKER PANEL UNDER THE FRONT DOOR. THE TIRE WAS A BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN T/A KO, LT285R70/17 LOAD RANGE E. THE TIRE HAD A 50,000 MILE WARRANTY BUT HAD JUST A LITTLE 20,000 MILES WITH 10/32 TREAD ON ALL TIRES WHICH MEANS THERE WAS 60% TREAD LIFE LEFT IN THE TIRES. WHEN I WAS ALMOST HOME, I NOTICE A TYPE OF VIBRATION LIKE A TIRE WAS UNBALANCE OR OUT OF ROUND. I CHECK THE OTHER THREE TIRES AND DISCOVERED THE RIGHT REAR TIRE HAD LARGE BULGE ACROSS THE TREAD WHICH INDICATES THAT ANOTHER TIRE WAS FAILING. TOOK THE TIRES TO THE DEALER AND TOLD ME THAT ME THESE FAILURES WERE DO TO A MANUFACTURER/WORKMANSHIP DEFECT. MICHELIN WHICH MAKES THE BF GOODRICH TIRES WANTS ME TO PAY FOR A NEW SET OF TIRES AND DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK AND VERBALLY THEY TELL ME THEY MAY REIMBURSE ME BUT WILL NOT PUT THAT IN WRITING. I DO NOT TRUST THEM AND WILL NEVER BUY BF GOODRICH OR MICHELIN TIRES AGAIN. MICHELIN HAS A RECALL ON THIS

I HAVE HAD A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB BECAUSE ALL OF THE LINES RUSTED OUT AND FAILED AS I WAS DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP SAFELY. I SPENT ROUGH.Y $3,000 TO GET THIS REPAIRED. NOW THE FUEL LINES, FUEL COOLER AND EVERYTHING ATTACHED HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT IS GOING TO BE AN ADDITIONA $2,500 TO REPAIR THIS. ALSO, THE COMPLETE UNDER CARRIAGE AND REAR END HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT I AM EXPECTING IT TO FAIL AT ANY TIME. THIS IS NOT ONLY A DANGEROUS SITUATION, BUT IS EXTREMELY COSTLY TO THE CONSUMER, ME. WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED, I WAS DRIVING ON A STREET APPROACHING A BUSY INTERSECTION. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. THE REPAIR FACILITY MECHANIC SAID HE HAS NEVER SEEN A SYSTEM SO BAD. I KEEP THE VEHICLE IN A GARAGE AND HAVE WASHED THE UNDER CARRIAGE IN THE WINTER TO KEEP ROAD SALT FROM ACCUMULATING.

MANY OF THE VEHICLES IN THIS FAMILY SUFFER FROM RANDOM ELECTRICAL SHORTS AND OR POOR ELECTRICAL GROUNDING RELATING TO THE DRIVE BY WIRE THROTTLE ACTUATOR. THE RESULT IS THAT THE VEHICLE WILL GO INTO 'REDUCED ENGINE POWER' MODE RANDOMLY. IN THIS MODE THE VEHICLE WILL IDLE BUT NOT ACCELERATE OR DRIVE. THIS ISSUE IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON MESSAGE BOARDS WITH NO CONSISTENT FIX. THIS CONDITION EXPOSES AN EXTREME HAZARD AS THE VEHICLE CAN LOOSE POWER AT ANY TIME. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE LOOSE POWER ON THE INTERSTATE AND ON HIGH SPEED 2 LANE ROADS WITH NO SHOULDER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC ON 4 OCCASIONS. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE ISSUE HAVE BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL.

MAY 2016 INSTALLED 5 YEARS WARRANTY BATTERY. BATTERY DEAD EVERY THREE MONTH. CHARGED BATTERY. INSTALLED NEW BATTERY LAST WEEK. BATTERY DEAD TODAY. HAD ALTERNATOR TESTED. (FINE) NOTICE DASHBOARD LIGHT WHERE READ MILAGE LOOKED LIKE THIS AFTER TRUCK OFF #######. ONLY GREEN LIGHT WILL NOT TURN OFF

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW/STOP VEHICLE TO MAKE A TURN. DROVE INTO PARKING LOT TO GET OFF OF ROADWAY, HIT SIGN, TREE, PARKED VEHICLE BEFORE VEHICLE FINALLY STOPPED.

ON THE 17TH OF AUG., 2017, I WAS ON MY WAY CAMPING PULLING A 28 FT RV WITH MY 3/4 TON CHEV PU, WHEN MY LEFT REAR TIRE WENT FLAT. I PUT ON THE SPARE TIRE AND DROVE 12 MILES AND THE LEFT FRONT TIRE WENT FLAT, THE NEXT DAY I WENT INTO A TIRE SHOP FOR NEW TIRES AND MY OTHER TWO GOOD TIRES WERE BOTH LEAKING AT THE VALUE STEM. THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS THE TIRES.

WRONG CLIP ON OIL PUMP IN TRANSFER CASE WEARS HOLE IN CASE . ALL THE OIL DRAINS OUT OF CASE CAUSING CATISTROPHIC FALLERS. CAUSING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIR. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS AN OFFERED NO HELP. THIS COULD CAUSE REAL DANGER TO OWNER IF THIS HAPPENED IN ADVERSE CONDITIONS. THIS HAPPENED WHEN VEHICLE IS OPERATING WITH NO WARNING. MY CASE WAS FOUND BY TEC BEFORE FALL IRE MY BROTHERS FAILED ON A TRIP LEAVING HIM STRANDED.

ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AT IDLE.CK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 65-70 MPH TRUCK SHUT OFF NO POWER STEERING NO BRAKES SHOWING "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" ALMOST GOT INTO A WRECK WITH MY 2 YEAR OLD SON AND 70 YEAR OLD GRANDMOTHER...I STILL OWE $10,000 ON THIS HUNK OF CRAP...IT WENT AWAY AFTER A BROKEN WIRE WAS FIXED....BUT AS I SIT HERE IN MY TRUCK AT 3 AM BECAUSE I HAD TO MOVE IT I STARTED IT UP AND ONCE AGAIN REDUCED ENGINE POWER...JUST SO FRUSTRATING
