2017 Chevrolet Silverado

THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CORD WAS RECALLED ON MY 2017 CHEVY DURAMAX DIESEL. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 21, 2019 FOR THE RECALL AND THE CORD WAS SIMPLY CUT OFF. AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NOT A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TODAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2019, TO CHECK ON THIS RECALL AS THE TEMPERATURE IN KANSAS IS BECOMING VERY COLD AND I AM NEEDING THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER. I SPOKE WITH SABRINA AND HER SUPERVISOR MICHAEL WHO BOTH INFORMED ME THE NEW ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CORD HAS BEEN RELEASED TO COLD WEATHER STATES, NOT KANSAS. THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET THE CORD FOR MY TRUCK WOULD BE TO DRIVE TO COLORADO, THE CLOSEST STATE TO KANSAS THAT THE CORD HAS BEEN RELEASED TO. COLORADO IS OVER 8 HOURS FROM ME, NOT TO MENTION THE TEMPERATURE IS CURRENTLY COLDER IN KANSAS THAN COLORADO. THIS IS JUST VERY FRUSTRATING, I PAID FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER ON MY TRUCK SO I CAN USE IT. I GOT NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN MAY OF 2019, NOW IT'S NOVEMBER WITH VERY COLD WEATHER AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

VEHICLE WAS IN FOR A RECALL 1 WEEK PRIOR TO RECALIBRATE A POSSIBLE ERROR IN THE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP TO BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS WEEK, STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN ON A HIGHWAY, POSTED SPEED 45 AND THE BRAKE DISENGAGED AND VEHICLE LURCHED FORWARD. CALLED DEALER, SERVICE TECH SAYS KNOWN ISSUE, GM HAS ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO THIS MODEL TO REPAIR/REPLACE THE PART KNOWN TO BE FAULTY. TECH SAID GM SHOULD HAVE MAILED A LETTER SAYING THAT IF, AND ONLY IF THE BRAKES FAILED OR BECAME HARD TO PRESS, BRING VEHICLE IN. IF THERE HAD BEEN A PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICLE CLOSE, I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. BRINGING VEHICLE IN AFTER THE FACT WOULD BE TOO LATE. MY VEHICLE QUALIFIED FOR THE FREE REPAIR SO IT IS BEING REPAIRED NOW.

HARD DOWNSHIFTING WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS AT SLOW SPEED. JERKING AND CLUNKING NOISE, AND RPM GOES UP AND SOUNDS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I AM GOING DOWN A HILL WITH THE BREAKS APPLIED AND GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. THE TRUCK JERKED SO BAD THAT THE SEAT BELT LOCKED.
