My truck has been having issue after issue with sensors going bad and check enginge light always coming on. Now I have a transmission issue with a solenoid going bad. The transmission has had the "clunk" as people discribe it since I purchased it. Nothing was wrong with it so I was told and that was normal. There are so many complaints on this year and make silverado its pretty sad that nothing has been done. Now my truck sits and still paying the note because of this transmission issue that a ton of people have reported. How many thigs do I have to change before the check engine light stops coming on. Please help all of us who own a chevy and have gm make this right.

There has been various occasions where we are driving and the truck stops with no warning or reason, the first time was on I-95 highway in philadelphia mid traffic the truck turned off and would not restart for about 5minutes we weee stuck in the middle of the road blocking traffic, no check engine light or any warning light came on. The second time was just this week on the way to two different mechanics to get the computer read it turned off yet again in the middle of the road. Both mechanics said nothing can up on the scanner when connected and there were no check engine lights turned on.

Engine light would come on and engine would not be operating properly.apeared to be misfiring. It was taken in to the dealership four different times and diagnosed with cylinder misfire oil fouled spark plug each time. Problem persisted until we were informed by the dealership after the warranty expired it would need a new engine. Manufacture and dealership were unhelpful and did not accept responsibility for a defective engine. There is a class action lawsuit pending for this model and type engine with others experiencing the same problems.

I have a 2012 silverado that had an engine light go on. Took to the dealer (carbone chevy, yorkville ny) the problem was an air leak in the fuel system. The fix, replace gas tank and sending unit, $900. I asked about the warranty, and I was told past mileage, I'm at 39000. I didn't believe this could be possible that a 4-year-old truck could rot out so soon that there must be a problem with these tanks. I called gm to ask, and the woman could not have cared less just listen to me complain and said she would call the customer experience person at the dealership to contact me. That didn't happen. Also said that the corrosion warranty doesn't cover tanks and it's up to me to pay for this. I spent $36000 on this truck and didn't have a scratch on it but now find out it is rotting through like a tin can. My questions are; should this have been covered or recalled? Is there anything you can do to help?

My truck should have no issues as I follow the maintenance schedule and take good care of my vehicle but it has happened twice where I was in the middle of the interstate when my vehicle displayed the check engine light, traction off, stabiltrac off, the airvents stopped blowing cool air and released humidity, brakes were not functioning properly (hard to actually break), steering wheel/power steering was malfunctioning making it almost impossible to turn or get out of traffic and it seems the vehicle just decided to suddenly stall while in motion. I was very lucky due to sudden high risk of a vehicle crash and was able to pull over without getting anyone hurt. I turned the vehicle off once I got in park and looked under the hood, everything was fine showing no issues but I went to start the vehicle and it did not crank or try to turn over but all electronics/lights were still working. I check all fluid levels, all was fine and then I went to try one more time to start the vehicle. To my surprise, it started up just fine and with only the check engine light on and not reading any other messages. All functions were working properly but I was too scared to go anywhere without having an idea what just happened. I went to the closest trusted auto place that would be able to use a scanner to find the trouble codes of my check engine light. The code was for a malfunction with the internal control module (code: p0601). This has happened to me twice in the last week and its very scary to feel at risk for a sudden malfunction to cause a crash. After researching, I noticed that there was a recall bulletin no: 14515b, that had covered pretty much the same issues and for my vehicle's year/model. My VIN didn't register for any recalls, I don't understand how other vehicles are getting qualified in order to prevent the same issues I'm experiencing.
