    after buying my truck from McFarland Chevorlet in Maysville KY i then moved to Cincinnati OH for work for work and is about a 1.5 hour away, all maintenance on the vehicle was done by a ASE certified shop and never went over the millage. I bought a extended warranty (200,000) as well but was voided as soon as i had a oil change done at Valvoline. my truck is at 85,000 miles and Chevy nor Premier Auto Insurance refuse to work with me to fix my truck. blown engine -- collapsed lifter on cylender 4 and was told it need a new crank shaft also ! a Chevy dealer near me quoated me $9,600 to fix this. have been trying to get ahold of the dealership i bought the truck from and they will not return my calls

    Was driving on the highway, heard loud bang followed by a violent metal-on-metal slapping or knocking sound, and a sudden loss of engine power. Came to find it was crankshaft/connecting rod issue that is common in these vehicles. Have a picture of the broken rod and am waiting the get it repaired.

    GM know about the problem they are having with there L90 transmission. I did what they recommended. Had the dealer flush 3 times. It's only a temporary fix until the warranty runs out. That's why they changed there warranty to 5 years 60000. Now a few months later the shifting hard is back and now shuttering hard. I drive a lot of highway and a little nurvise of something happening. I only have 63000 miles on my 2019 Chevy Silverado.

    The transmission failed at 100,000 miles and the engine failed at 130,000 miles. Available for inspection. Yes the dealer confirmed both failures. No warnings. Immediate failure with engine light. Barely made it home with the transmission and the engine just stopped out of nowhere due to the dynamic fuel management system and oil consumption starvation.

    I was driving on the street when suddenly the truck stopped completely by itself without me pressing the brake, I put it in neutral and put it back in forward, it went about 30 feet and stopped by itself suddenly again and the dashboard panel did not have any warning signs that indicated that something was wrong. I took it to the dealer and they told me that since it did not have any warning lights on, they could not do anything. I spoke directly with GM and they told me the same thing, that they could not do anything and now I will have to drive it without knowing if the problem will occur again and I caused a serious accident.

    My truck for several months now has been having an issue with power steering, gets a service vision system where at time I get no back up camera and a server trailer brake system. While doing research I've found dozens of posts and videos of issues with 2 ground straps on the vehicle thaylt have affected all 3 or these issues I am dealing with. The ground straps are under the truck near the right wheel well and are basically out in the open not protected wires. I live up north in New York and these wires will corroded overtime especially dealing with salt, snow etc. It is a known issue that a TSB has been put out. I called GM to speak with them of this issue and was told that I haven't bring it to a dealership to look at where I would have to pay a diagnostic fee. I would also possibly be responsible for the repair itself. This issie with the ground straps should be a safety recall especially due to the fact it affects power steering. This has caused my vehicle to at times be unsafe to drive when hard to turn. Thos can cause a serious accidents. The fix is so easy and is a huge engineering flaw with where these wires were placed and not protected. Im asking you to put out a recall so individuals like me can get this issie fixed with no costs to the customer. Not fair for us to foot the bill for a known SAFETY issue. This issue happens everyday. Not sure of exact start date that this is making me choose.

    I have been hearing noise coming from the rear of the engine or front of the transmission. I took it to my local shop and they said it appears to be coming from the transmission and that I should take it to a Chevrolet shop because their is a service bulletin (PIP5996A) that describe what I am experiencing. They gave me a copy of the service bulletin and it covers many models and years of the Silverado. I called to make an appointment with Chevy and they said my Silverado is not associated with any recall, so this service bulletin does not apply. I don't understand how it does not apply when my make and year is listed on the service bulletin.

    The back windshield on my Silverado leaks water every time it rains causing the back window to smell of smoke like electrical burning. It also creates a visibility issue out the back window when I've called three different dealerships in the area and each one of them say it is a known issue with this vehicle and it's going to cost almost $3,000 to fix. I have contacted GMC only for them to say that I needed to contact this department I feel like this is a safety issue that GMC should have to help their customers with not just be like oh well your truck may or may not be on fire while it rains
