2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 complaints

THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY 2016. NOW FORD / MAZDA HAS ISSUED A DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL REPAIRED WITH REPAIRS AVAILABLE. BUT STILL NO REMEDY FROM GM FOR THIS? THEY HAVE BUILT HOW MANY MORE MODEL YEAR TRUCKS AND HOW MANY TRUCKS SINCE 2011. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE TEMPERATURES HERE REACH 100* IN THE SUMMERS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR A REPAIR NOT TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS AFTER THIS LENGTH OF TIME. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO POSSIBLY BE KILLED BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS. GM IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR CONSUMERS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN NO REMEDY YET. NOT ACCEPTABLE. IF AN AIRBAG CAN EXPLODE AND KILL SOMEONE THAN IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED NOW.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE AIR BAG.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN 3 SPOTS. UNKNOWN

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG. THERE ARE THREE CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AS OF TODAY.

CLEAR COAT ON ALUMINUM WHEELS IS BLISTERING AND OUT OF WARRANTY

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE HAD A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL SINCE MAY OF 2016. IT STATES THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY 2 YEARS LATER! VERY DISHEARTENING AS THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE.

NEED TO REPLACE WITH A NEW AIR BAG SINCE THIS ONE HAS BEEN RECALLED.

NEED TO REPLACE AIR BAG WITH A NEW ONE SINCE THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN RECALLED

RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WARNING BELLS & LIGHTS FLASH, MESSAGE IN DIC STATE SERVICE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES DEAD, A/C QUITS COOLING & RADIO QUITS. IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE DRIVABLE. AS SOON AS YOU STOP OR ARE STOPPED WHEN IT OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN, AND CAN BE REVVED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, OPENING THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND WAITING A COUPLE OF MINUTES, YOU CAN RESTART THE ENGINE, THE GAUGES AND TRANSMISSION WILL ONCE AGAIN OPERATE. IT HAS NOW STARTED TO PERIODICALLY CAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT AND DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK TO NOT FUNCTION AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER BEING IN TOUCH ONCE AGAIN WITH CARL BLACK ORLANDO FLORIDA WE ARE STILL TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR REPLACEMENT OF TAKATA AIRBAG. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT THE LAST ONE BEING 11/30/2017. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A REPLACEMENT? CARL BLACK REPRESENTATIVE TOLD US OUR VEHICLE IS "SAFE".

TAKATA RECALL - MY TRUCK'S AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED 05/27/2016 AND I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE SELMAN CHEVROLET, WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK, CHECK AND REPLACE THE AIRBAGS BUT THEY KEEP GIVING ME A RUN AROUND AND THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE BAGS FOR REPLACEMENT. TAKATA HAS FOUND THAT THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES AND THE BAGS MAY RUPTURE, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. HOWEVER, I AM EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY TRUCK AND RISK DEATH OR INJURY! SELMAN CHEVROLET IN ORANGE, CA DOES NOT CARE AND IN EFFECT - REFUSES TO DO THE SAFETY RECALL!.

TAKATA RECALL LACK OF INFORMATION IS ASTOUNDING, WEB SITE AND PHONE NUMBER ARE A LOOP, REFER TO EACH OTHER AND OFFER NO SPECIFICS. DEALER SAYS 'PARTS NOT AVAILABLE' FOUND INFO GM WAS CONDUCTING 'STUDY' BUT NO INFO OF NHTSA ACTIONS RE THIS STUDY. I'M IN ATLANTA AND A K2500HD DON'T FIT IN A GARAGE! CAN'T GET MUCH MORE HEAT AND HUMIDITY EXPOSURE THAN HERE!

BATTERY NEEDED TO BE JUMPED OFF. JUMPED OFF BATTERY AND THEN DECIDED TO GO AND PURCHASE A NEW ONE. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH, FLAMES AND SMOKE STARTED COMING UP OVER HOOD. PULLED OVER, PARKED AND JUMPED OUT AND STARTED THROWING ITEMS OUT OF VEHICLE. CALLED 911, BUT BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED, THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED. IT IS A COMPLETE LOSS.

TAKATA RECALL: CHEVROLET IS NOT OFFERING A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. "REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE."

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED AUTONATION CHEVROLET MESA (6330 E SUPERSTITION SPRINGS BLVD, MESA, AZ 85206; 480-615-4500) WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL-THIS WAS IDENTIFIED IN MAY OF 2016. AS OF TODAY, 10/17/17 THERE IS NO FIX AND MY LIFE IS AT STAKE EVERY DAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. THE CONTACT HAD TO PLACE THE GEAR SHIFTER IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SANDS CHEVROLET GLENDALE (623-931-9331, 5418 GRAND AVE, GLENDALE, AZ 85301) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

MY DASHBOARD STARTED CRACKING AND I WENT TO THE DEALER AND GOT TOLD IT WAS ONLY A COSMETIC PROBLEM. I SEEN HUNDREDS OF GM TRUCKS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALWAYS USED THE WINDSHIELD SUN SHIELD AND ONLY CLEANED IT WITH A DAMPED CLOTH AS PER MANUFACTURE'S RECOMMENDATION. AS OF RIGHT NOW I AM SCARED THAT IF THE AIRBAGS GET ACTIVATED THEY WILL MAKE THE DASHBOARD FALL APART IN A CRASH. ALL THIS PROJECTILES COULD INJURE THE DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER SINCE THEY ARE SHARP AND COULD FLY AT HIGH SPEED.

DASH IS CRACKED BY AIR BAG

TBERE ARE SMALL PARTICLES OF ORANGE FLASH THAT HAS FALLEN OFF THE FRONT SIGNAL LIGHTS INSIDE THE FRONT HEADLIGHT HOUSING. THEY ARE NOT SUPOSE TO BE IN THERE. THIS IS A DEFECT THAT HAPPENED WHEN THE AMBER SIGNALS WERE MOLDED. I WORK IN A INJECTION MOLDING PLANT THAT MAKES THE CURRENT SINALS FOR THE SILVERADO AND THAT IS A DEFECTED PART. I WAS TOLD THAT SHOULD BE A RECALL.

2011 DURAMAX DIESEL SILVERADO 2500. WHEN CHANGING LANES IN LAKE TAHOE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ENGINE SUDDENLY WENT FULL THROTTLE. I STOOD ON BRAKES WITH BOTH FEET AS THE TRUCK WAS BURNING RUBBER AND NEARLY REAR ENDED A HANDICAPPED VAN. I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF AND THE TRANSMISSION SLAMMED TO A LOWER GEAR. ONCE I LET TRAFFIC CLEAR AND RE-STARTED THE COMPUTER RESET AND THE THROTTLE WAS FINE. I MANAGED TO HOOK UP MY RV AND HEAD HOME BUT WAS CAREFUL NOT TO ACCELERATE VERY HARD HOPING IT WOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. TRUCK IS NOW IN A LOCAL DIESEL REPAIR SHOP BEING EVALUATED. ENGINE WAS REVVING CLOSE TO 5,000 RPM. THOUGHT FOR SURE WE WERE ABOUT TO GET IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR HIT SOME PEOPLE AS THERE WAS VERY HEAVY VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC.

2011 CHEVY SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL. *JS ***UPDATED 06/22/17*LJ UPDATED 10/20/2017*JS

TAKATA RECALL, RECALL IS ALMOST A YEAR OLD AND NO SOLUTION YET, NO ONE ELSE MAKES AIRBAGS? NOW THE SENATE IS PROPOSING A BILL TO FORCE REPAIRS OR NOT BE ABLE TO REGISTER THE VEHICLE. TOO MUCH REGULATION ALREADY THAT DOESN'T WORK.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CAUSE THE CRACK. IT WASN'T THERE ONE DAY AND THEN IT WAS THERE THE NEXT DAY.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACED, ONE SPOT BY THE AIRBAG AND ANOTHER VERY LONG CRACK FROM CLOSE TO THE WINDSHIELD TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG WAS THERE WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN 2012 1 YEAR OLD FROM THE CHEVY AUTO NATION FINANCE MANAGER. THE OTHER HAPPENED OVER TIME.

TAKATA RECALL IS CAUSING ME TO LOSE VALUE ON THE TRADE-IN OF MY TRUCK BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP CAN'T RESALE IT ON THEIR LOT.

THROTLE POSITION SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON EVEN AFTER REPLACED TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING, POORLY, NEEDS REPROGRAMMING GEARS ARE SHIFTING ROGHT MALFUNTION OF TRANSMISSION SOLEINOIDS, BAD MANUFACTURE,

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND DIRECTLY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENTS/STEERING WHEEL.

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.

THE DASH HAS BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM AFFRAID IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO HAPPEN AND THAT AIRBAG HAD TO DEPLOY IT WOULD SEND BROKEN PLASTIC IN MY FAMILY OR MYSELF FACE OR COULD TARE THE AIRBAG. I REALIZE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND THERE HAS BEEN COUNTLESS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FEEL THIS SHOULD NO DOUBT BE A RECALLED ISSUE.

P140A-EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER BYPASS POSITION SENSOR EXCEEDED LEARNING LIMIT THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ON THE EGR BYPASS VALVE FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES CONDITION- ON SOME 2011 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 HD OR 2011 GMC SIERRA HD VEHICLES, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE DUE TO AN INOPERATIVE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER BYPASS VALVE. SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT- THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE COVERS THE CONDITION DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES (193,000 KM), WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP. DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE. THE REPAIRS WILL BE MADE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE THE SAME ENGINE BUT MY TRUCK IS A 2500 HD AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT! THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN A 2500 AND 3500 EXCEPT ONE LEAF SPRING!

DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES.

AT 75000 STARTING HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION ALWAYS DOWN SHIFTING. AT 126000 TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION PUMP AND BELL HOUSING. THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN IN BOTH SITUATIONS.0

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE DRIVE'S SEAT BELT HAS TOTALLY "RELEASED" WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHILE I AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE DRIVING ALONG. THESE INADVERTENT RELEASES WERE REPORTED TO MY VEHICLES DEALER (T & C CHEVROLET, ASHLAND, OREGON) ON MAY 27,.2016 AT 21261 MILES. DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DEFECT. THE VEHICLE PRESENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 32000 MILES AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT STILL RELEASES AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES. THIS SITUATION HAS ME VERY CONDERNED ABOUT MY AND OTHERS SAFETY IF SOMETHING UN-TOWARD HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE ENGINE JERKED AND SHOOK AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, REDUCE ENGINE POWER, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE THROTTLE BODY AND HARNESS WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,209.

TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE AND EGR VALVE NEEDS REPLACED AT 61,000 MILES.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND AIR BAG COVER.

VIBRATION FOR THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HAD BEEN DOING THIS SINCE NEW. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY BALANCED THE TIRES IN 7 MAR 2012. NO CHANGE VIBRATION STILL THERE. TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT TIRE REBALANCED STILL NO GO. I WROTE IT OFF THINKING THIS WAS NORMAL FOR 2500 SERIES TRUCKS. AUG 2015 I UPGRADED THE RIMS TO FORGED J RATED 6,600LBS AND TIRES TO H RATED 4,940LBS. BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER AIR PRESSURE THIS MADE THE VIBRATION WORSE. I PUT THE TRUCK ON JACK STANDS AND RAN IT IN GEAR TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. WHAT I FOUND BOTH REAR AXLE HUBS ARE WARPED CAUSING THE WHEELS TO WOBBLE SEVERELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INITIALLY DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO ME AND I HAD A VIDEO OF IT. THEY FINALLY LOOKED AT THE VIDEO AND WENT TO CHECK OUT THE TRUCK. AN HOUR LATER THEY CALL PAYING THE TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICKUP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY OUT .015THS. I A TRAINED MECHANIC AND THIS IS SIMPLY BS. I CAN SEE THE WOBBLE WITH BY BARE EYES THAT'S MORE THAN .O15 THOUSANDS. ON TOP OF THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD 96000 PLUS MILES ON IT ATT. THE DEALER DID NOT DOCUMENT THIS AND BASICALLY WROTE IT OFF. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS BUT IT'S TOO BIG TO SEND AND IT'S IN WMV FORMAT. PLEASE GIVE ME AN ADDRESS AND POINT OF CONTACT SO I CAN SEND YOU THE CD. THE VIDEO SAYS IT ALL THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT STARTED TO RETRACT VERY SLOWLY. NOW IT HARDLY RETRACTS AT ALL. IT GETS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR WHEN YOU CLOSE IT NOW. THE WOREST THING IS YOU HAVE OPEN YOUR DOOR TO FREE IT. NOT VERY SAFE IF YOU HAVE STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY... DEALER WOULD NOT FIX UNDER ANY OF MY WARRENTIES.

ON 09/22/2014 AT APPROXIMATELY 1610HRS I WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON I-95 IN THE STATE OF MAINE. I ATTEMPTED TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY NEAR SIDNEY, ME. I TAPPED ON THE BRAKE TO CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. AS I BRAKED MY VEHICLE ATTEMPTED TO SPEED UP. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE MY VEHICLE DOWN SHIFTED AND ATTEMPTED TO MAINTAIN ITS SPEED. THIS SITUATION NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND TOOK AGGRESSIVE BRAKING TO STOP THE VEHICLE. ON 09/23/2014 I ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS SITUATION DOCUMENTED AT FRANK GALOS CHEVORLET IN SACO, ME. THEY REFUSED TO DOCUMENT THE PROBLEM. I CALLED GENERAL MOTORS AT 1-800-222-1020 AND HAD THE PROBLEM DOCUMENTED. COMPLAINT # [XXX]. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN A NEAR DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY ACCIDENT. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RIGHT FRONT TIRE SIDEWALL BLEW OUT. TIRE IS A MICHELIN LTX MS2 SIZE 275 70 18. THIS IS THE SAME SERIES TIRE THAT MICHELIN HAS ALREADY HAD A RECALL ON BUT A DIFFERENT SIZE. CAN ONLY SUSPECT THAT THIS TIRE SIZE HAS SAME PROBLEM SINCE THERE IS NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF THE TIRE BEING CUT ANYWHERE AS INSPECTED BY BLACK'S TIRE SERVICE IN WILMINGTON NC WHICH WAS THE NEAREST MICHELIN DEALER AT THE END OF MY TRIP TO NC. ALSO HAVE PICTURE OF TIRE IF NEEDED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

MESSAGE CAME ON DIC SAYING LOW DEF 727 MILES. DID NOT QUITE KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT. FOUND OUT. GM SAYS IT SHOULD COME ON AT 1000 MILES. NOPE. CAME ON 2 X 727 AND 72. THERE IS NO WAY TO CHECK THE DEF LEVEL. SOMEONE REALIZED THIS AS THE NEWER TRUCKS HAVE GAUGES OR OTHER WAYS TO CHECK. I FEEL THIS COULD BECOME AN ISSUE IF THE VEHICLE GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND NO CLOSE PLACES TO PURCHASE DEF. I TALKED TO GM. THEY DON'T SEEM TO CONCERNED ABOUT THE WHOLE THING. A SIMPLE FIX WOULD BE TO MAKE IT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION FLUID CHECK. PULL OUT THE DIP STICK/CHECK THE FLUID/ADD FLUID IF NECESSARY THROUGH THE SAME TUBE THAT THE DIPSTICK CAME OUT OF. MY TRUCK HAS A TUBE UNDER THE HOOD WHERE YOU ADD DEF. AGAIN THERE IS NO WAY TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU NEED. YOU JUST KEEP ADDING TILL IT SPITS OUT OF THE TUBE. I FEEL GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH AN UPDATE OF SOME SORT SO A MOTORIST VEHICLE SUDDENLY STARTS SLOWING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST.. *TR

UPON THE START UP, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL BEGIN TO SHUT GAUGES DOWN, TURN ON ALL WARNING LIGHT, TACH AND SPEEDOMETER GO TO 0. THEN THE TACH/SPEEDO WILL COME BACK WITH ALL GAUGES OFF AND ALL WARNING LIGHTS ON. THEN THE GAUGES COME ON AND THE WARNING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF. THIS CAN CONTINUE UP TO 15-20 MINUTES WHILE UNDER WAY. IT ACTUALLY APPEARS THE TRUCK HAS IS NOT RUNNING WHILE YOU ARE ACTUALLY TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED. I HAVE HAD THE ISSUE HAPPEN WHILE SITTING IN THE PARKING LOT AND MOVING OVER 60 MPH. IT IS TEMPERATURE RELATED WHEN IT IS COLD OUT (40 DEGREES), THE SEQUENCE HAPPENS EVERY 20-30 SECONDS WITH THE CLUSTER NOT TOTALLY WORKING FOR MORE THAN 15 SECONDS. THIS CONTINUES FOR OVER 5-10 MINUTES! THIS ISSUE IS SPOT ON TO AN ISSUE/RECALL OF '03-08 GM TRUCKS. *TR

TRAVELING AT 60 MILES PER HOUR, ACCELERATED AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK GOING UP TO 80 MILES PER HOUR IN A 60 MPH ZONE. I STOMPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO NO AVAIL. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL TO AVOID A CRASH. PULLED OVER AND FINALLY KEPT STOMPING THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL IT RELEASED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRAME WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,700. *TR

THIS IS AN RV TRAILER TIRE. SIDEWALL HAS SEPARATED FROM THE TREAD. SIDEWALL IS TORN ALONG WHAT APPEARS TO BE POLYESTER CORD ALONG ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE TIRE ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM THE TREAD. THE TIRE IS A GOODYEAR MARATHON ST235/80R 16 LOAD RANGE E. BLOWOUT OCCURRED AT 45 MPH ON BLACKTOP. TIRE PRESSURE CAREFULLY MAINTAINED AT SPEC 80PSI. ABSOLUTELY NO OVERLOAD ISSUES. TIRE SMOKED PROFUSELY BUT NO FIRE. *TR

THE TRUCK HAD THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON WHEN WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY REPLACE THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR. THE LIGHT SOON CAME BACK ON DUE TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP WHICH SENT THE CAR INTO SAFE MODE, WHICH MADE THE CAR DO A NOSE DIVE FROM 55 TO 15 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE IN ATLANTA. *JS
