The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the engine started misfiring and the vehicle was shuddering. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed with cylinder #4 lifter failure and a bent push rod. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred while driving. The vehicle was taken to a Toyota dealer, where it was diagnosed with a bent push rod. The vehicle was then taken to Spradley Chevrolet (2146 U S 50, Pueblo, CO 81008), where it was diagnosed with cylinder #4 lifter failure and a bent push rod. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered to partially cover the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.

After remotely starting my truck, I was met with a strange noise that was both noticeable and unprecedented. The certified Chevy dealership provided three different estimates for tearing down the engine to verify the faulty lifter. Unfortunately, the dealer and warranty provider are unwilling to accept that these issues are inherent to the AFM system. Given the vehicle's relatively low mileage of 89,000 miles, such repairs seem premature.

My truck is a 2017, but only has 46,000 miles on it. The engine light came on and it started banding loudly. I lost power and it would not go over 30 miles per hour. The dealer informed me the lifter failed and destroyed the cam shaft. Upon research, I have discovered this is a problem for many of the 5.3 engines. Many people are stuck now. I realize I have no warrantee, but I take excellent care of the truck and it only has 46,000 miles on it. It should not need a new motor, especially if it is due to a defect from GM. They knew about this issue and are doing nothing. I am now faced with an $11,000 quote for a new engine. This is wrong on so many levels.

The truck suddenly started misfiring, running rough and lost power while driving. All the dash lights illuminated and the check engine light began flashing. We were a couple hours from home so we had to have the truck towed home. This could have been much worse as we were towing a trailer on a busy highway but luckily we were able to pull over to the side of the highway. Upon returning home we had the truck checked at the local Chevrolet dealership service department and were told we needed a whole new engine. After about 5 months after the initial incident we paid to have a new engine installed at the same dealership that inspected it. The truck had not exhibited any signs of any problems prior to the incident.

I'm definitely getting me a lawyer to fix this [XXX] because all I've ever wanted was this body style but all they care about is money over quality. GM and they're retail sellers knew about AFW problems and sold us [XXX] anyway. They are saying that transmission issues aren't they're fault and actually getting away with that answer. Who's else fault could it be when it's the same problem with the same model. To be an American and get [XXX] by our own is getting old.

19V761000 · Electronic Stability Control (esc); Service Brakes; Service Brakes, Hydraulic:antilock/traction Control/electronic Limited Slip:wheel Speed Sensor/tone Ring

Oct 24, 2019

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017.
