The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 15 MPH, the steering wheel became loose. The contact stated that there was an abnormal amount of slack in the steering wheel. The steering wheel failed to operate as intended. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed and it was determined that the steering bushing needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired under the warranty, but the failure recurred three years later. The manufacturer was contacted and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 105,000.

Driving down the road under 40mph and headliner airbags deployed without an accident. The dash and steering wheel bags DID NOT deploy however the headliner bags deployed for no reason.

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.

Engine shut off while driving on the freeway (70mph), lost steering and braking capacity. lucky to make it to shoulder, The failure is the Fuel pump control module, second time(first failure at 48k miles, second at 98k miles) this has failed (part # 13558813). once this fails part is impossible to find. repair technicians at dealer says this is a very common failure. To my knowledge part has not been inspected. Dealer is not an option for repair due to the length of time they will keep vehicle (in key west was going to ve 3 months before they could look at it,) this failure the local dealer in Athens Ga, did not have a diesel mechanic to repair (not sure why this needed a diesel mechanic), Warning lights/message is : Reduced engine power....but did not say why reduced, engine just slowed and shut down in very heavy traffic.

Power steering has failed. Truck drives stiff without power steering.

“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.

2017 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD LT 6.6L It all started on June 15, 2024 with a TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER (chafing wire that was grounding and shorting against the frame and bumper) resulted in a barrage of issues. Our truck being down over a month and throwing (so far) 16 codes just on the first 2 scanners. It has also taken out the TPMS too.

Most of the codes referring to voltage to high and voltage to low. The entire truck is shutting down electrically and we can only assume that this will result in one of two options. First is that the vehicle will catch fire because of the system wide KNOWN WIRE CHAFING electrical issues. Second is that the vehicle is totaled / junked since Chevy will neither recall the KNOWN issues and is too busy changing customers for FRAUDULENT rep

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.

On [XXX], I was driving our 2017 Silverado 2500HD LT 6.6, with my family in Ohio when the trailer brake controller error started flashing on the dash and would not shut off, go silent nor correct itself. It almost caused an accident initially because it was distracting me by making me look down to READ the message. Then we were almost in a dozen accidents as we were traveling too slow for conditions, unable to get off the highway safely, and issues with steering and braking. In 10 minutes, the error sounded 50+ times. We were towing a 36’ 5th wheel trailer suddenly STABILITRAC also kicked on, REDUCED POWER (another message to look down and read), the engine started running so rough (another issues to look down at the gauges) that I thought the engine had blown. We were not in a safe place to pull over and power was cut dropping our speed from 70 to 45 in a 70 zone. Just after going up the hill, we had to continue down other side which we discovered that the trailer brakes were NOT operational. As we were burning our truck brakes going down the other side. The only reset is to shut off the key (which would lock the steering wheel, lose power steering and power brakes while driving). When STABILITRAC appears vital drivers data is BLOCKED. We removed the trailer brake fuse and the trailer battery charger fuse, but the TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER messages continued. Even with the trailer disconnected the the messages continued. The trailer brake wire under the truck had exposed wire

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 capless fuel filler has failed. The door is stuck halfway open. This is a fire hazard if the truck were in an accident. My son has the same year model truck. Same exact specifications just a different color and hus has also failed. This should be recalled immediately because it's a fire hazard not to mention the emissions of the vehicle.this picture is looking straight down on the filler you can see it is not closed.

Transmission failure for the second time. the first time it happened it had 51,984 miles after I got it back, it happened again after an additional 41 thousand miles.

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.

At about 62,000 miles the vehicle check engine light came on with codes P0700 and P0741, the RPMs go up as you accelerate but will not shift unless you let off the gas pedal. Reaching 5-6000 RPMs. Had mechanic drop transmission pan no metal found. Reading several TSBs on this issue the transmission should be recalled. Also when towing camper there was some electrical issues when the trailer was contacted the truck would not recognize trailer connected, had to shut the truck off for few minutes and restart to recognize the connection. Truck also lost power when trailer was connected and ran very sluggish, also experienced the shifting issues.

I was on a 2 hour drive hauling my 8000lbs trailer when the service trailer brake alarm went off. It constantly dinged the whole 2 hour trip and caused my trailer brakes not to work putting me and my family in danger hauling such a load with no brakes. Not only do I have no brakes but the truck is deemed undrivable due to the constant distractions of the dinging. It also inoperates the message screen to see my speed or to use any other functions like voice commands and radio. I have numerous shops look at it and wasted a few hundred bucks in parts and labor to find this problem with no resolution insight. This is due to a faulty wiring harness somewhere in the truck.
