1. Transmission recall N242454440 Chevy 2500hd Diesel Silverado 2020yr. Jan 2025 valve body inside transmission was replaced, recall pending, parts not available, NOT DONE. 2. Currently having this issue but no recall information found for my Vin...The "P22F9" engine code on a 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500 diesel indicates a recall related to the NOx sensor, specifically a "slow response" issue with the sensor, which the Engine Control Module (ECM) might not properly detect; this recall requires a software update to the ECM to address the problem. Key points about this recall: •Affected vehicles: Primarily 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 trucks with diesel engines, as well as similar GMC Sierra models. •Issue: The ECM may not accurately identify faults with the NOx sensor, potentially leading to emission issues and reduced engine performance. 3. P1089 fuel deceleration problem, several repairs were done but problem still persists. GM engineer's told dealership having problems with computer duplicated codes in memory. Engine light goes on and off over 50,000 miles, vehicle runs great and no gas found in oil. At one point engine light was off for 14,000 miles. *P1089 should definitely be a RECALL ITEM! MISC: Yes available for inspection. No safety problems as of yet. All repairs were done at dealerships and confirmed by dealership. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? NO * I have contacted GM management staff in Michigan Mr. Craig Gidden, senior executive liaison, which referred me to CA customer service and supervisor, all to no avail, absolutely horrible customer service! They did not want to provide their contact information etc. *Contacted the GM arbitration department, they provided a case number but will not provide or respond to my emails for supervisor and GM legal department information.

Three days after purchasing my 2020 chevy 2500 silverado, on september 28th, 2020 around 1253 I tried to start my truck and it wouldn't start. The truck turned over but seemed like it wasn't getting fuel. I then received a diagnostic alert. After changing the relay the truck ran fine. I then scheduled to take it in to the dealer on october 5,2020 to have a diagnostic done on the truck and they found nothing. The very next day it did the same thing on october 6th, 2020. I then scheduled to have it taken in again and found out that the fuel control module on several other gm vehicles where faulty on new vehicles. I had to cancel my second appointment due to the dealer wouldn't provide me with a loaner car while they worked on my truck. This vehicle is under warranty. Then again on the october 20th, 2020 the vehicle would not start. After changing out the relay switch it seemed to reset the system and starts and runs fine and the check engine light goes off. I work in emergency services and need my truck to run when I turn the key over. There's no common factor leading to this lack of turning over. And my dealer is not working with me to come to a solution to this problem. This has happened on 3 occasions at random times.
