2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

THROTLE POSITION SENSOR IS ALWAYS ON EVEN AFTER REPLACED TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING, POORLY, NEEDS REPROGRAMMING GEARS ARE SHIFTING ROGHT MALFUNTION OF TRANSMISSION SOLEINOIDS, BAD MANUFACTURE,

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND DIRECTLY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENTS/STEERING WHEEL.

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS ARE BREAKING DESPITE REGULAR NON COMMERCIAL USE AND PROPER MAINTENANCE. THIS CAUSES AN EXHAUST LEAK AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE DRIVING MY INFANT IN THE TRUCK NOW. DEALER SAYS 4 HOW ODD LABOR PLUS PARTS SO APPROX $1000 FIX? THAT'S UNREASONABLE FOR ANY MOTOR BUT ESPECIALLY UNDER 120000KM.

THE DASH HAS BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM AFFRAID IF AN ACCIDENT WAS TO HAPPEN AND THAT AIRBAG HAD TO DEPLOY IT WOULD SEND BROKEN PLASTIC IN MY FAMILY OR MYSELF FACE OR COULD TARE THE AIRBAG. I REALIZE THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED PROBLEM AND THERE HAS BEEN COUNTLESS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND FEEL THIS SHOULD NO DOUBT BE A RECALLED ISSUE.

P140A-EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER BYPASS POSITION SENSOR EXCEEDED LEARNING LIMIT THERE IS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ON THE EGR BYPASS VALVE FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES CONDITION- ON SOME 2011 MODEL YEAR CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500 HD OR 2011 GMC SIERRA HD VEHICLES, THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT MAY ILLUMINATE DUE TO AN INOPERATIVE EXHAUST GAS RECIRCULATION (EGR) COOLER BYPASS VALVE. SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT- THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE COVERS THE CONDITION DESCRIBED ABOVE FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES (193,000 KM), WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST, FROM THE DATE THE VEHICLE WAS ORIGINALLY PLACED IN SERVICE, REGARDLESS OF OWNERSHIP. DEALERS ARE TO REPLACE THE EGR COOLER BYPASS VALVE. THE REPAIRS WILL BE MADE AT NO CHARGE TO THE CUSTOMER. I HAVE THE SAME ENGINE BUT MY TRUCK IS A 2500 HD AND THEY WILL NOT COVER IT! THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN A 2500 AND 3500 EXCEPT ONE LEAF SPRING!

AT 75000 STARTING HAVE PROBLEMS WITH TRANSMISSION ALWAYS DOWN SHIFTING. AT 126000 TORQUE CONVERTER CAME APART AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION PUMP AND BELL HOUSING. THE TRUCK WAS BEING DRIVEN IN BOTH SITUATIONS.0

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE DRIVE'S SEAT BELT HAS TOTALLY "RELEASED" WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHILE I AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE DRIVING ALONG. THESE INADVERTENT RELEASES WERE REPORTED TO MY VEHICLES DEALER (T & C CHEVROLET, ASHLAND, OREGON) ON MAY 27,.2016 AT 21261 MILES. DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DEFECT. THE VEHICLE PRESENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 32000 MILES AND THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT STILL RELEASES AT UNPREDICTABLE TIMES. THIS SITUATION HAS ME VERY CONDERNED ABOUT MY AND OTHERS SAFETY IF SOMETHING UN-TOWARD HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE ENGINE JERKED AND SHOOK AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, REDUCE ENGINE POWER, AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE THROTTLE BODY AND HARNESS WERE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 41,209.

VIBRATION FOR THE REAR OF THE TRUCK HAD BEEN DOING THIS SINCE NEW. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY BALANCED THE TIRES IN 7 MAR 2012. NO CHANGE VIBRATION STILL THERE. TOOK IT TO DISCOUNT TIRE REBALANCED STILL NO GO. I WROTE IT OFF THINKING THIS WAS NORMAL FOR 2500 SERIES TRUCKS. AUG 2015 I UPGRADED THE RIMS TO FORGED J RATED 6,600LBS AND TIRES TO H RATED 4,940LBS. BECAUSE OF THE HIGHER AIR PRESSURE THIS MADE THE VIBRATION WORSE. I PUT THE TRUCK ON JACK STANDS AND RAN IT IN GEAR TO TROUBLE SHOOT THE PROBLEM. WHAT I FOUND BOTH REAR AXLE HUBS ARE WARPED CAUSING THE WHEELS TO WOBBLE SEVERELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY INITIALLY DID NOT WANT TO LISTEN TO ME AND I HAD A VIDEO OF IT. THEY FINALLY LOOKED AT THE VIDEO AND WENT TO CHECK OUT THE TRUCK. AN HOUR LATER THEY CALL PAYING THE TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICKUP. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ONLY OUT .015THS. I A TRAINED MECHANIC AND THIS IS SIMPLY BS. I CAN SEE THE WOBBLE WITH BY BARE EYES THAT'S MORE THAN .O15 THOUSANDS. ON TOP OF THAT IT'S NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD 96000 PLUS MILES ON IT ATT. THE DEALER DID NOT DOCUMENT THIS AND BASICALLY WROTE IT OFF. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THIS BUT IT'S TOO BIG TO SEND AND IT'S IN WMV FORMAT. PLEASE GIVE ME AN ADDRESS AND POINT OF CONTACT SO I CAN SEND YOU THE CD. THE VIDEO SAYS IT ALL THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

MY DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT STARTED TO RETRACT VERY SLOWLY. NOW IT HARDLY RETRACTS AT ALL. IT GETS CAUGHT IN THE DOOR WHEN YOU CLOSE IT NOW. THE WOREST THING IS YOU HAVE OPEN YOUR DOOR TO FREE IT. NOT VERY SAFE IF YOU HAVE STARTED TO DRIVE AWAY... DEALER WOULD NOT FIX UNDER ANY OF MY WARRENTIES.
