TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 3500. WHILE REVERSING THE VEHICLE AND THEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER AND SUDDENLY FUNCTIONED NORMALLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE JOHN WATSON CHEVROLET DEALER LOCATED IN OGDEN, UT 84401 AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TETON MOTORS IN JACKSON, WY 83001 AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V719000 (STEERING), BUT DID NOT CONFIRM IF THE VIN WAS INCLUDED.

I HAVE EXPERIENCE A TEMPORARY LOSS OF ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) ASSIST FOLLOWED BY A SUDDEN RETURN OF EPS ASSIST, PARTICULARLY DURING LOW-SPEED TURNING MANEUVERS. THIS TEMPORARY LOSS OF EPS DOES NOT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPEN I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, IT FELT LIKE I LOST THE POWER ASSIST FOR A SECOND, THAN IT CAME BACK. BEFORE THIS HAPPEN, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL EXPERIENCES OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS WHERE THE STEERING FEELS LIKE IT STICKS WHEN STARTING A TURN AT START OF FORWARD MOVEMENT. I HAVE TALK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK, THEY EVEN LOOKED AT IT ONCE AND SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I TALKED TO THEM AGAIN AFTER IT LOST THE LAST EXPERIENCE AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR MY TRUCK. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN ENOUGH FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE.

CHECK TRAILER WIRING WARNING COMES ON AND CHIME SOUNDS EVERY FEW SECONDS. CHECK TRAILER TAIL LIGHTS,BRAKE, BOTH TURNS SIGNALS,AND USE MANUAL BRAKE LEVER. EVERY THING WORKS FINE. THEN IT QUIT AFTER TWO HOURS. TOOK IT IN TO DEALER IN TERRACE,BC,CA. WAS TOLD THAT VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE BUT THE TRAILER PLUG WAS NOT A BLADE TYPE AND THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I DID'T HAVE TRAILER BRAKES WHEN THE WARNING TO CHECK TRAILER WIRING COMES ON. MY 6800 MILE TRIP IN MAY 2017 WITH THE SAME TRAILER THE CHECK TRAILER WARNING NEVER CAME ON. ON OR 3800 MILE TRIP TO BRITISH COLUMBIA IT WAS A CONTINUAL PROBLEM OFF AND ON. I HAVE SINCE PUT A BLADE PLUG ON THE TRAILER BUT HAVE NOT USED IT. IN NOVEMBER 2016 WHILE PULLING A CARGO TRAILER I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. TOOK IT IN TO CHEVY DEALER IN MEDFORD, OR AND WAS TOLD I HAD A BAD GROUND ON THE TRAILER. I HAD JUST REWIRED THE TRAILER WITH ALL NEW LED LIGHTS, BUT I CHECKED ALL WIRING AND NEVER FOUND ANYTHING. THIS TRAILER DOES"T HAVE A BLADE PLUG ON IT. I HAVEN"T USED TRAILER SINCE. I ALSO HAVE A 12,000# BOAT THAT I TOW AND IT HAS THE SAME PLUG AS THE OTHERS. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH IT. IT DOES HAVE SURGE BRAKES. THESE THREE TRAILERS THAT I HAVE GAVE ME NO PROBLEMS WHEN I TOWED THEM WITH MY 2003 CHEV 2500HD SILVERADO. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE NEW CHEVY TRUCKS BY THE NUMBER OF POSTS ON THE INTERNET.

MY CHEVY SILVERADO 3500 DURAMAX DIESEL TRUCK HAD AROUND 52,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER & WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE FUEL INJECTION CHECK BALL EXPLODED (ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP) & CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STOP & BECOME IMMOBILE. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP & REPAIRED @ AROUND $12,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. WARRANTY COVERED IT @ 100% & THE VEHICLE IS BACK RUNNING. I LIVE IN A FARMING/RANCHING PART OF THE USA WHERE MULTIPLE PEOPLE DRIVE DIESEL PICKUPS. I HAVE TALKED TO MULTIPLE PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEVY DURAMAX TRUCKS (ACCORDING TO THEIR DEALERSHIP). WHEN THIS CONDITION OCCURRED ON THEIR VEHICLES, THEY WERE DRIVING & THE VEHICLE BECAME IMMOBILE. THIS CONCERNS ME BECAUSE WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS WHEN DRIVING YOU COULD LOSE POWER STEERING/FULL BRAKING ABILITY. I HAVE A FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHERS, I DO NOT KNOW OF ANY DEATHS RELATED TO THIS ISSUE, BUT NO ENGINE POWER COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF POWER STEERING/FULL BRAKING ABILITY, RESULTING IN EQUIPMENT/BODILY INJURY. I CONTACTED CHEVY CUSTOMER SUPPORT & SUBMITTED A CLAIM, THEY SAID THEY WOULD SUBMIT THE CLAIM TO THE RECALL DEPARTMENT. CHEVY ALSO CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP & SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE GUY TO CONFIRM MY CLAIM, HE SAID HE CONFIRMED THE MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES THAT THEY HAVE SEEN. AS A MATTER OF A FACT, ANOTHER CHEVY DURAMAX WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE EXACT ISSUE, WHILE MY TRUCK WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT CHEVY HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE WITH THE FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM, SO THE REPAIRS WERE MADE WITH THE EXACT SAME FAULTY (NEW PARTS), ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHEN SEARCHING FOR THIS ISSUE ON THE WEB, MULTIPLE OF THE SAME OCCURRENCES ARE LISTED. IN MY OPINION THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE EVALUATED WITH A CORRECTIVE ACTION PUT IN PLACE TO PREVENT FURTHER INCIDENTS SIMILAR TO THIS FROM HAPPENING.

P2636 TRANSFER PUMP INSUFFICIENT FLOW - VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, UNABLE TO RESTART. TOWED INTO DEALERSHIP TO FIND TRANSFER PUMP WHICH TRANSFERS FUEL FROM REAR TO FRONT TANK HAD FAILED. VEHICLE HAS 37,880 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. BELIEVE THIS TO BE RECURRING ISSUE, WHICH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH MANUFACTURER.

MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY ON A SLIGHT DOWNGRADE. I HAD JUST PARKED IT AND WAS UNLOCKING MY FRONT DOOR WHEN I TURNED AROUND AND WITNESSED IT ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TOWARDS THE STREET. I MANAGED TO RUN BACK AND GET IN A STOP IT WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOW AT LEAST 30 FEET FROM WHERE I HAD PARKED IT AND WOULD HAVE CONTINUED FARTHER HAD I NOT STOPPED IT. AFTER THIS I PARKED IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES IN THE SAME SPOT AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE IN PARK. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM A VIDEO OF ME TESTING IT. THEY LATER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROGRAMMING ISSUE AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND IT SHOULD WORK NOW. THE TRANSMISSION CAN COME OUT OF PARK EVEN WHEN NOT RUNNING. WHEN I ASKED WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF SUCH A RECALL THE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE THEY WERE CALLING CUSTOMERS ABOUT RATHER THEY WERE JUST FIXING VEHICLES AS THEY CAME IN REPORTING THE ISSUE. I LIVE 3 BLOCKS FROM A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THERE IS OFTEN CHILDREN WALKING DOWN MY STREET. THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE EASILY SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED SOMEONE YET CHEVY DID NOT CONSIDER THIS A LARGE ENOUGH SAFETY CONCERN TO INFORM OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES.
