2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

The contact owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the service engine message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the Oxygen (O2) sensor needed to be reset. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the service engine message was displayed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the failure was due to the O2 sensor. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer who informed him that parts were on backorder. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 71, 000.

THE TRUCK WAS ISSUED A RECALL FOR THE ENGINE BLOCKER HEATER WHICH WAS PERFORMED. SINCE THAT RECALL WAS PERFORMED I KEEP GETTING LOW COOLANT WARNINGS ON THE DASH IN ERROR. THE VEHICLES WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALER AND EVERYTHING WAS CHECKED. THEY REFILLED THE SYSTEM JUST INCASE THERE WAS AN AIR POCKET BUT THEY WARNED ME ABOUT 4 OUT OF 10 PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED CONTINUALLY GET A LOW COOLANT LIGHT. THE TRUCK WAS FINE FOR 2 MONTHS AND NOW I'M BACK TO HAVING THE LOW COOLANT LIGHT ON. THE COOLANT LEVEL LOOKS FINE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID GM KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT NO FIX IS AVAILABLE BECAUSE THROWING PARTS AT IT LIKE A NEW RESERVOIR TANK AND COOLANT SENSOR DOESN'T SEEM TO FIX THE ISSUE. WE'RE BEING TOLD TO SIMPLY IGNORE THE WARNING DISPLAYED ON THE DASH FOR NOW. TO ME IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE "FIX" FOR THE ENGINE CLOCK HEATER RECALL HAS NOW CREATED A SECONDARY ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED. SINCE YOU HAVE THE DATABASE OF VINS THAT WERE PART OF THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER RECALL I ASK THAT YOU REACH OUT TO THOSE PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THE FIX PERFORMED AND FIND OUT HOW MANY ARE NOW HAVING A LOW COOLANT ISSUE AS A RESULT OF THAT REPAIR BEING MADE.

WHEN VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING ANYWHERE FROM 30-50 MPH, THE TRUCK LOSES POWER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, AND STARTS SPUTTERING OR CHUGGING. THE RPM ON THE DASH STARTS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. THIS GOES ON FOR SEVERAL SECONDS AND TRUCK SLOWS DOWN. IT THEN GOES AWAY AND CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. HOWEVER, WHEN TOWING TRAILERS, THE EFFECT IS ONLY INCREASED AND THE TRUCK SLOWS DOWN EVEN MORE.
