2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 engine complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 118 of 118, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Chevy admits to a known issue with torque converter shudder which happens between 25-65mph when accelerating.
When shifting from p to d vehicle refuses to move forward even after lightly pressing the accelerator then letting off the gas pedal there is hesitation while engine revs before the vehicle suddenly & unexpectedly lurches forward. When slowing down or stopping a loud clunk can be heard and felt comparable to being rear ended by another driver. This has been an ongoing issue since vehicle was purchased new. A certified gm dealership has investigated multiple complaints without a resolution to this safety concern.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 30 MPH, the accelerator pedal was depressed and the vehicle stalled. The check engine light flashed while the failure was experienced. The contact's husband took the vehicle to (buchanan automotive 1035 e main st, waynesboro, pa 17268) where the vehicle was diagnosed with defective engine pistons. The dealer informed her husband that the parts to repair the vehicle were currently on back order. The vehicle remained in the possession of the dealer. The manufacturer had not been notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
It happens intermittently.. As I slow up to a speed under 10 miles an hour, as soon as I turn the steering wheel, the vehicle will lose power, either turning off and on fast the dash will lose power but the motor will still be running... Sherry this happens, the steering feels like theres resistance turning and the only way to fix it is to turn off the vehicle and let it sit. Other times it will happen and the vehicle will lose total power,almost like I removed the key but the vehicle will still be rolling. The steering wheel has locked twice all while the vehicle is still in motion as well and brakes are non functioning. Its happened several times going through intersections, pulling into my driveway, and u turns. It never happens in reverse. Ill never own a chevy again...
Letter from senator sherrod brown on behalf of constituents regarding defects with their general motors truck. *as the consumer stated the vehicle has had multiple engine related failures. The dealer was unable repair the vehicle.
Turning into shopping center parking lot and the engine turned off. I was able to restart it. Everything had reset.
Fuel injector or fuel pump does not work properly. On two (2) different occasions, months apart, my engine has lost power and the vehicle stalled. Both times at low speeds 10 - 15 MPH and low rpms. This has nearly caused me to crash into one vehicle and for another to almost hit me from behind as my car died while making a right hand turn off a busy road. I have had the vehicle towed in twice, but the dealership and gm both say unless they can duplicate the issue they will not fix or replace anything. This vehicle is unsafe and needs to be recalled/reviewed. On top of this, they had to replace the vacuum pump for the brakes and do a software patch update because the backup camera was dangerously bright, especially at night. The camera issue took 2 visits to 2 different dealerships to get resolved. Gm is playing the numbers game of hoping for a fine instead of paying to replace any parts. Especially since they are dealing with a pr battle about making cars outside of the USA. They took the bailout money and screwed americans.
The engine is unable to receive consistent fuel when you start the vehicle. It requires pushing down on the gas pedal multiple times and restarts to get the engine going. Then, while driving the engine loses fuel and causes the vehicle to turn off and essentially die. This has put me in 2 near wreck incidents already despite the gm dealerships saying there is no issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was towed to gengras chevrolet (585 connecticut blvd, east hartford, ct 06108, (860) 269-3772) where it was diagnosed that the module and fuel relay needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to richard chevrolet (1405 highland ave, cheshire, ct 06410, (203) 651-7016) where it was diagnosed that an unknown cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 9-5039253021. The failure mileage was 39,000. The VIN was not available.
The codes should not allow you to use the starter and it dose will be goiing down the road and loses power.went through 5 wire harrnesses with in the 5 months
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving approximately 70 MPH, the vehicle vibrated profusely without warning. The vehicle was taken to quirk chevrolet (781‑843‑4800, located at 444 quincy ave, braintree, ma 02184) where the technician road-tested the vehicle and stated that the vehicle was performing as designed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact to take the vehicle back to the same dealer for further testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100.
The pickup shakes at speeds typically between 30-45 and 55-75. It shakes hard enough and long enough at times where at higher speeds becomes dangerous because it compromises the steering where the truck can come off its line and become unstable. It will also shake randomly and for unknown periods of time. When it starts I have no control over it and no control over when it starts or stops. I have brought it into the dealer a couple times now. The first time they said I needed to rebalance the wheels and put on new tires so I did both. The second time they said it was a problem with the engine/drivetrain when it deactivates 4 cylinders. They told me there is nothing they can do for this problem. I have researched this and it seems that it is a problem with this specific engine and gm is claiming there is not a safety issue. This is completely false as the truck becomes unstable and steering is compromised. At highway speeds this is a huge issue especially if this continues into winter months where road conditions are not the best.
6.2l engine had faulty injectors and had to be replaced. Gm said my truck had a warranty block so I had to contact the bbb and go to mediation to get injectors replaced. Now I'm noticing a shudder (vibration) while driving with a fluttering of the RPM's. All my research has LED me to believe it is a faulty torque converter. My wife has a 2017 camaro that is having the same issue. Dealership stated that they are replacing the faulty torque converters in vehicles with 8 speed transmission, but will not replace mine because gm has put a block on my warranty. Gm cannot provide any evidence giving them reason to block my warranty on my vehicle.
While I was driving on the highway, approximately 55mph; the check engine light came on; smelled like plastic burning at the same time; I was able to stop on exit ramp as thick black smoke filled the inside. Good samaritans helped me get out as flames were ignited under the hood. Several like mini explosions accompanied the flames.
When variable timing of vehicle shuts down two cylinders, switching truck from v6 to v4 with RPM's at or below 1,500k, the truck begins to miss/shutter. This occurs and on road type, any weather condition. At times the vibrations of this miss/shutter can be a bit violent. If further accerate to force the truck back into v6 mode, the issue resolves itself but as soon as the truck switches back to v4 mode, the problems begins again immediately. I have had the truck at dealer service department 5 times with no resolution to the problem. Instead, the technicians continue to perform unrelated work items that do not alleviate the real issue. Upon my last service for the issue I was informed that "gm doesn't currently have a solution for the problem" and that all of the service work that the technicians continue to perform is "nothing more than a way to try to mask the symptoms so that you don't notice it." upon researching, I have discovered that this exact same issue has arisen in multiple gm trucks. The long term affects, which are unknown at this time, are a concerning.
Truck exhibits a rough idle after truck is driven and warm. Idle causes teh truck to shake and feels like it will die at stops. Rpm drops below 300 RPM then goes back to 490 RPM. In addition the truck will start to shake and vibrate at highway speeds of 75-80 MPH. Gmc service performed tsb changing our engine mounts but that has not fixed the issue. This is a known issue on silverados and no fix in site. Concerned with seat vibration this is a safety issue due to potential drive train part failure.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the vehicle only stalled when the temperature was very hot outside. The vehicle stalled at least three times per month since being purchased in march of 2017. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer (ed buzarth chevrolet in las vegas, nevada) four times. The dealer was aware of the failure, but there was no remedy. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 8-324‑272‑3692. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 13,350.
