2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

SEVERAL PROBLEMS.. MULTIPLE FAILURES OF "GLOW PLUGS" (KNOWN GM PROBLEM) AND NOX EXHAUST SENSORS, HIGH DEF USE, UNUSUAL "BUILDUP" IN THE EXHAUST FILTER REQUIRING MANY DEALER VISITS, DOWNTIME, REPAIR COSTS AND EXTREMELY POOR FUEL MILEAGE. GLOW PLUGS OFTEN FAIL AT INITIAL START WHEN SYSTEM IS "COLD".. OAT HAS BEEN FROM ABOUT 45 TO ABOUT 90 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. ALTITUDE, ABOUT 20 TO 1200 FT ASL. DEALER SERVICED ONLY. VEHICLE HAS NO MODS!!!!

PASSENGER SIDE DASH, ON LEFT ENGINE COMPARTMENT SIDE HAS CRACKED FROM THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT TO THE DEFROST AIR DUCT. THE CONCERNS ARE 1) IMPAIRED/FAILURE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG IN CRASH, 2) EXPOSURE TO SHARP DASH CRACKS WHICH COULD INCREASE INJURY IN A CRASH, 3) SAFETY OF OCCUPANTS INADVERTENTLY BEING INJURED BY SHARP EDGES OF DASH CRACK, 4) RESALE VALUE.

THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS LEAKING A FLUID AND EACH TIME WE RIDE IN IT IT MAKES US SICK. WE HAVE TO TRAVEL WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN EVEN IN THE RAIN.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING MULTIPLE GLOW PLUG FAILURES ON MY VEHICLE. ONE RIGHT AFTER ANOTHER. IT HAS GONE TO THE DEALER EVERY SINGLE TIME FOR THE REPAIRS I EVEN ASKED THE DEALER MECHANIC IF I WAS THE ONLY ONE AND HE STATED THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH MY ISSUE WITH FAILING GLOW PLUGS. THE DEALER HAS A FULL RECORD OF ALL THE ISSUES IV HAD AND EVERY TIME MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THEIR SHOP. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO BE DONE! SOON AS I TRY TO USE MY REMOTE START THE TRUCK STARTS THEN DIES THEN I GET A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I CALL ONSTAR THEY GIVE ME THE CODE AND SURE ENOUGH ITS A FAILED GLOW PLUG. THEN IM UNABLE TO EVEN USE REMOTE START FEATURES OF MY VEHICLE AT THIS POINT.

CRACKED FRONT DASH BETWEEN AIRBAG AND WINDOW DEFROST VENT, POSSIBLE AIRBAG DEPLOY ISSUE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATES WHEN FIRST ENGINE START OR DURING USE ON MY LML ENGINE: REPEAT FAILING GLOW PLUGS, REPEAT NOX SENSOR AND DEF ISSUES. THERE HAVE BEEN FAILING OAT SENSORS, FAILED DRIVER SEAT COOLING FAN(S), DEFECTIVE AIRBAG DEPLOY ISSUE DUE TO POSSIBLY POOR CONNECTOR SEATING. ENGINE GLOW PLUG USULLY OCCURS AT OR NEAR INITIAL STARTUP. NOX FAILS WHEN UNDERWAY OR NEAR STARTUP. SEAT COOLING FAILURES HAVE OCCURRED TWICE. DRIVING IS BOTH CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY OPERATION. GLOW PLUG FAILURES USUALLY WHEREVER I INITIATE STARTUP. DASH CRACK, POSSIBLY AFFECTING AIRBAG DEPLOY HAS NOT BEEN WARRANTED, RATHER, GM WANTS ME TO SUBSIDIZE THE REPAIR/REPLACEMENT OF THE DASH

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY ROAD WHEN MY VEHICLE ABRUPTLY LOST POWER, I RECEIVED A WARNING FROM MY DASHBOARD SAYING FUEL FILTER NEEDS REPLACING AND SUBSEQUENTLY LOST ENGINE POWER WHICH RESULTED IN NO POWER STEERING AND NO BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE UNDER CONTROL AND GOT IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT BECAME DEAD. AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A GARAGE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CP4 FUEL INJECTION PUMP HAD FAILED RESULTING IN FUEL BEING STARVED FROM THE ENGINE AND THE RESULT WAS THE ENGINE SHUTTING OFF. THE REPAIRS ALONE FOR THIS SINGLE FAILURE ARE $8550 BECAUSE THIS PUMP HAS FOULED ALL THE FUEL INJECTORS AND REGULATORS IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. MOST IMPORTANTLY THOUGH, I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO BE IN A POSITION ON HIGHWAY WHERE I HAD NO TRAFFIC BEHIND ME, AND ON A RELATIVELY STRAIGHT ROAD WHERE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE CURB BEFORE IT BECOME A BIGGER PROBLEM. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM ON ALL OF THE DURAMAX 6.6L LML ENGINES UTILIZING THIS TYPE OF FUEL INJECTION PUMP AND GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE SYSTEMS AND REPAIR THEM. I DO NOT HAVE THE REPAIR INVOICE YET BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS STILL BEING REPAIRED BUT WILL BE HAPPY TO SUPPLY IT WHEN I RECEIVE IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPPED TO THE FLOOR AND SEIZED. THE IGNITION NEEDED TO BE TURNED OFF IN ORDER FOR THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE ON WITH THE GEAR IN PARK AND IT REVVED LOUDLY. THE CONTACT TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND, IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE IGNITION WOULD HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT SPOKE WITH THE DEALER WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

TAKATA RECALL, OVER YEAR AGO HAVE CALLED ANCHORAGE CAR DEALER 3 TIMES TO FIX BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY DON'T HAVE PARTS AND DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE. WE LIVE 200 MILES FROM A DEALER THE DIAG. MODULE ALSO HAS RECALL WOULD LIKE BOTH FIXED AT SAME TIME SO WHEN WILL PARTS BE IN FOR AIRBAGS. TRUCK IS IN USE SO I NEED FIXED PLEASE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 EQUIPPED WITH FEDERAL COURAGIA A/T TIRES, SIZE: LT245/75R16 120/116Q 10PR. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO WOBBLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRE SHOULDERS SEPARATED. THE FOUR TIRES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

WHEN TEMPERATURES DROP BELOW 30 DEGREES THE TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT AND THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT COMES ON. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED THAT BOTH WARNING LIGHTS DO THAT BELOW 28 DEGREES. THIS HAS OCCURRED SINCE 2013 WINTER. GLOW PLUGS GOING OUT ONE AT TIME GM WILL ONLY REPLACE AS THEY GO OUT UP TO 120000 NOT ENOUGH BEING DONE WITH THIS.
