The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who discovered significant corrosion on the rear subframe of the vehicle. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed him that they had never heard of such a failure with that model vehicle. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
I experienced a failure of the BOSCH 4.2 fuel rail pump while driving on Interstate 65 North near Louisville KY at night and my truck had a dead pedal and was unable to accelerate any and I was in the right lane going over a bridge and two tractor trailers were in each lane behind me and having been on the bridge I was unable to leave the lane of travel until I had completely transversed the bridge I was traveling over. I did engage my emergency flashers immediately but having the trucks side by side and the truck in my lane traveling at highway speeds I was almost struck from behind as the tractor trailer applied his brakes and was able to avoid the collision luckily. I took my truck to the local dealership and was told what the issue was and I had it fixed immediately. The price of the repair was $10,362.64 give or take a few dollars. I had a warranty but that company refused to pay since it's not considered part of the engine. Dodge has issued a Recall for the exact same part as far as I am understanding but yet Chevrolet/GMC has not.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the rear seat belt buckle had shattered. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer and diagnosed but not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.
The service stabilitrak/traction control come on (ABS) at random times when driving. The truck begins to shift hard and lose power as I am driving making it very dangerous on the road especially at close proximity to other vehicles. I have taken it in and nothing can be found or done because they can't seem to find the problem. The truck has 73,000 miles on it. I am beyond frustrated and scared to drive it on the freeway because I never know when it will come up; it has been happening once a week (sometimes two) since June 2021. I just don't understand how GM allows this to happen and not fix the problem; it is clearly a danger on the road for myself, family, and others. Please look into this as I have read so many situations of other owners of GM models dealing with this disaster!
bought this truck from Granger DCJR in Orange, tx on 7/20/21. upon further inspection of vehicle on 7/25/21 found that there are no bushings in the rear shocks and that when you steer the truck at low speeds from a stop sign the rack and pinion locks up and you can not steer the truck. the steering issue almost caused me to hit 3 cars and almost run in a ditch. dealer states that they have spent to much money on this truck and refuses to do the repairs. now im stuck with a truck that cant be driven. also this truck supposedly passed a 172 point inspection but i dont see how with these issues.
The manufacturer has known about the problem with the passenger air bag for years and waited until February 2021to issue a recall. When the manufacturer was asked on 7-22-2021 when this problem would be fixed they responded that they do not have a remedy for the problem. It seems to me that they are dragging tier feet in the hope that the problem will fix itself through attrition of the affected vehicles. unless the government pressures the manufacturer by the use of fines or sanctions, they don't have any real reason to fix this problem in a timely manner.
I recently purchased this Pick UP and checked on-line for any Recalls. There was one on the airbag - needs replacement of some components. As of 6/28/21, the Recall still states parts are unavailable. I need to be informed when I need to contact Service Center for Repair. My Name is [XXX] My email is [XXX] My Phone Number and Text is [XXX] Please keep me updated with any changes. Thank You.

Received a recall notice of March 2021, even though part failure presents a serious physical threat to vehicle occupants, manufacturer fails to provide replacement airbag in a timely manner.
Takata recall. The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21V053000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
Airbag was repaired under Takata recall on 6/15/21, 24,122 miles on vehicle. Service airbag warning comes on the next day. Back to dealer and they said warning light is not related to what they did and just a coincidence. Hard to believe. Are there any other complaints of this happening ? Thanks
My 2013 Chevrolet Silverado frame broke when I was driving it down my road with my small kids in tow. When I got home and inspected I noticed my spare tire was not secure and corrosion in the rear of my frame. I had the frame inspected by my dealership and it was confirmed the frame was defective, severely corroded in the mid and rear section. The front was in almost new condition. The stickers still intact. They suggested I contact GM. There were no warning lamps. GM has committed to repairing the vehicle due to the wax coating defect. Now they are not cooperating due to no availability of frame. I have not had a vehicle for almost 5 months. Had I been driving at a high rate of speed when the frame broke or someone hit me there could have been an entirely different outcome as the frame has no integrity. The truck would have crumpled. There are many trucks left on the road with this HAZARDOUS issue. Please see attached photos of well cared for truck and defective frame.
Safety recall sent to me in March of 2021. It is June 7, 2021 and no remedy is available.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V054000 (AIR BAGS). SUNSHINE CHEVROLET (100 THUNDERLAND CIR, ARDEN, NC 28704) WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE DASHBOARD MAY BE DAMAGED DURING THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NEITHER THE MANUFACTURER NOR THE DEALER WOULD BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES TO THE DASHBOARD. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST TO REPAIR OR REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IT STARTED SHAKING, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS CARBON BUILD UP ON THE ENGINE. THERE IS ONLY SIXTY THOUSAND MILES ON THE VEHICLE. GMC SENT OUT A BULLETIN TO DEALERS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THE SERVICE DEPT FLUSH THE ENGINE, BUT THEY CAN NOT PROMISE ANYTHING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I DID NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK ENOUGH, SO THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS A VERY CLEAN RUNNING TRUCK, NOT AS MUCH POLLUTION. SO INSTEAD OF THE CARBON BLOWING OUT THE TAILPIPE IS IT STAYING IN THE ENGINE? I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT ALL THIS MONEY FOR SOMETHING GMC OVER LOOKED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY DID NOT SEE, SO THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENSES. I MIGHT EVEN NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT BE SURE THE FLUSHING AND OIL CHANGE WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.

TRUCK WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN JUNE 2017, IN JUNE 2018 PROBLEMS AROSE INCLUDING ROUGH IDLING, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATION, AND STABILITRAK OFF MESSAGE ACTIVATION ON THE DASH READOUT. GENERAL MOTORS (GM) TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) #10-06-01-008M WAS ISSUED DECEMBER, 2014 TO ADDRESS THE REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE ISSUE WAS MOTOR OIL REACHING THE #1 AND #7 CYLINDERS THUS FOULING THOSE TWO SPARK PLUGS.THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE SAME SYMPTOMS APPEARED AGAIN IN AUGUST 2020 AND THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE SAME ISSUE (MIS-FIRE IN THE #7 CYLINDER) AS DESCRIBED IN THE TSB. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I CHOSE TO DEAL WITH THE SYMPTOMS MYSELF WHICH INVOLVED INSTALLING NEW SPARK PLUGS IN THE TWO CYLINDERS. IN MID-MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2021), THE SYMPTOMS APPEARED AGAIN AND AGAIN THE #1 AND #7 SPARK PLUGS WERE FOULED WITH MOTOR OIL. IN EACH CASE, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE SYMPTOMS PRESENTED. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT STABILITRAK IS DESIGNED TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS BY GIVING THE DRIVER BETTER CONTROL OF THE SILVERADO. IF A SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING APPEARS, THE SILVERADO WILL NO LONGER BE ASSISTED WHEN A LOSS IN LATERAL TRACTION IS DETECTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE ROUGH IDLING AFFECTS ACCELERATION (LOSS OF POWER.)
DASH CRACKED ACROSS TOP OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ABOVE THE AIRBAG. TOOK TRUCK IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL. WENT TO PICK UP TRUCK FROM RECALL AND FOUND A BIG HOLE ABOUT 3 INCHES IN THE TOP OF MY DASH BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I WAS NOT WARNED BY SERVICE DESK OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE FORM AIR BAG REPLACEMENT NOR WAS I INFORMED BY SERVICE DESK WHEN THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. NOTHING WAS SAID WHEN I PICKED UP MY TRUCK. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DAMAGE A WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO UV RAYS. TRUCK HAS 60,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN GARAGE. THEY DID NOT EVEN CLEAN UP THE DASH WHEN THEY WERE DONE. I CAN;T DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IN IT BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT IN A NEW DASH JUST TO BE ABLE TO TRADE IT OFF. IT IS JUST NOT RIGHT. ANOTHER ISSUE WAS WITH THE ENGINE AND WAS TURNED INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAS 36,000 MILES. THE ENGINE HAS A MISS WHEN IN PARK OR SETTING AT A LIGHT. THE RPM DROPS 150- 200 RPMS CONTINUOUSLY. AFTER THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. IT WAS THE COMPUTER ADJUSTING FOR EMISSIONS. MAYBE BUT WHY DID THEY GIVE ME A GM STORE VOUCHER FOR 500 DOLLARS? TO BUY ME OFF, SHUT ME UP. WHO KNOWS. IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT.
PERSONAL MECHANIC NOTED ROTTING FRAME AREAS, TUBES BETWEEN MAIN FRAME SUPPORTING GAS TANK AND CONNECTING SHOCK ABSORBERS. METAL FABRICATING BUSINESS CONSULTED AND WHEN GAS TANK WAS REMOVED AND ENTIRE MAIN FRAME EXPOSED SEVERE RUSTING OF MAIN FRAME ON BOTH SIDES NOTED. APPEARS ENTIRE FRAME SHOULD BE REPLACED OR EXTENSIVE WELDING OF NEW METAL ONTO EXISTING FRAME. THE REAR PASSENGER SHOCH BROKE OFF AND FELL ONTO THE HIGHWAY PRIOR TO THIS. THE GAS TANK WAS NEAR FALLING OFF TOO. SEE ATTACHED PICTURES.

Parts distribution disconnect.
I was notified of the air bag recall in February 2021. To date, I have not heard anything from anyone about replacement of the passenger-side airbag. When I check the recall on line I see that the "remedy is not available". How long do I need to wait to get this resolved?

IMY 2013 CHEVY Z21 HAS STARTED LEAKING SROUND THE LIGHT ON TOP AND BACK LIGHT ON THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. I NOTICED WET SPOT ON BACK PART OF HEADLINER AND SOME MOLD IN THE AREA. I HAVE FOUND WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR 2013 SILVERADO, I CAN'T FOUND ANY RECALLS ON THIS. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TIO BE A RECALL FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ABOUT THIS.. MY 3 YEAR OLD SON RIDES IN THE BACKSEAT RIGHT WHERE THE LEAK IS.AND I'M AFRAID IT COULD MAKE HIM SICK
DASH CRACKED-MY DASH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE ALREADY. IT WAS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT IS NOW CRACKED AGAIN ACROSS THE FRONT WINDOW DEFROST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. MY TRUCK IS 7 YEARS OLD AND NOW NEEDS THE DASH REPLACED FOR A 2ND TIME. I THINK THAT IS A BIT RIDICULOUS. EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS IS THAT AFTER IT WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY NEW IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE BLACK INTERIOR VEHICLES THAT HAD THE GRAY DASH AND THAT IT WILL CRACK AGAIN. WELL ITS 5-6 YRS FROM WHEN I HAD IT REPLACED AND ITS CRACKED AGAIN.
MY STABLE LINK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND OFF THEN TRUCK NOT RUNNING RIGHT AND MY STARTER/CRANKING DRAGGING REALLY HARD AND THIS IS MY 3RD STARTER IN 3YRS
LIFTER TICKING AND LIFTER COLLAPSE. STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WORKING IMPROPERLY AND FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO HESITATE AND JERK. OIL CONSUMER IS EXCESSIVE. THIS ALL OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER 'IDIOT LIGHT' WARNINGS BEFORE THE LIFTER CLICKING STARTED OR THE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ACTED UP.
I OWN A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WITH 71,453 MILES . THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED REGULARLY AND I RECENTLY NOTICED AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. AFTER A VISIT TO MY USUAL SERVICE GARAGE AND SUBSEQUENTLY A CERTIFIED DEALER., THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED. I CALLED CHEVROLET USA AND OPENED A FILE BASED ON MY INFORMATION. AT ONE POINT MY TRUCK COMPUTER WARNED TO PULL OVER AND NOT DRIVE ANY FURTHER DUE TO LOW OIL. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL REASON FOR THE FACT THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE HAS REGULAR OIL CHANGES WITH MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC. AFTER CHECKING CHEVROLET 5.3 LITER ENGINE ISSUES I FOUND THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE. THE SUIT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE BUT THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THE SAME THAT MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING. IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER BUT HAD ONLY 71,453 MILES AT THE TIME OF ISSUE RECOGNITION. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE BASICALLY DISMISSED MY COMPLAINT SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL OR GM BULLETIN. THE DEALER SOLUTION IS A PISTON AND RING REPLACEMENT FOR $ 6,999.95 WHICH IS BASICALLY AN ENGINE REBUILD (BUT NOT A COMPLETE ONE). IN ADDITION, THEY WILL INSTALL WHAT WAS REFERRED TO AS A BALLAST WHICH WOULD SOLVE THE CONSUMPTION ISSUE SUPPOSEDLY. IF THIS IS TRUE THEN I ASSUME THAT THERE IS AN INHERENT ISSUE. ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO CHECK YOUR OIL EVERY 1000 MILES AND IF YOU ARE LOW THEN ADD IT. NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE WITH A VEHICLE THAT COST OVER $40,000 WITH 71,000 PLUS MILES. I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I AM FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED. THIS I AM SURE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH. THANK YOU.
IM NOT ABLE TO LET DOWN THE SPARE. THE SYSTEM DONT WORK PROPERLY ON MOST TRUCKS. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE
TRANSMISSION HAS BAD SOLENOID IN TRANSMISSION. WHILE YRUCK WAS IN MOTION NO SIGNS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES AND DROPPED TO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE CAME ON SHOOTING TROUBLE CODE PO796. FOUND THIS TO BE COMMON WITH MANY OTHER SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODELS, EVEN TOLD SO BY TRANSMISSION SHOP. WANTED TO REPORT THIS INCASE IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO POSSIBLE FUTURE RECALL
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the local dealer for servicing, he was informed that the subframe of the vehicle was severely corroded and all cross members of the vehicle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the cross members were replaced and welded. However, the failure persisted. The contact stated that he could hear parts separating from the subframe and falling onto the ground while driving. The contact stated that upon inspecting the subframe, he noticed that unknown parts were corroded and had detached. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
Purchased the Silverado 1500 new in 2013 and was going be my last truck before I retired. Had the truck under coated/rust proofed after the purchase and had it touched up yearly. Went to have it touched up again in 2020 and the shop said they would not do it because the frame was rotting from the inside out. They said it was a GM flaw in there rust proofing system for their truck frames. I also talked to Ziebart about this and they said the same thing. Zeibart will not under coat any GM truck from 2006 to 2018 because they have seen too many frames rotting out. I only have 70,000 miles on the truck and this is totally UNACCEPTABLE. From what I have seen on the internet it also includes GM's mid sized trucks, Canyon and Colorado. I have read stories of owners having vehicle cracks rendering the vehicle dangerous. Right now there are alot of unhappy GM truck owners that are looking for a class action suit. When trucks where built right it was the bodies that rusted out and not the frames. Pictures included.

THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE (BOTH THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR HANDLES) WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR WHEN STOPPED. THE REPAIR SHOP SHOWED ME A SMALL POT METAL ARM THAT BROKE INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL AND CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHILE NOT AN ISSUE BY ITSELF, IF THE AUTO WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED THE DRIVER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, DEPENDING ON THE FINAL RESTING POSITION. FURTHER ADDING TO THIS IS THAT THE ISSUE APPEARED FOR A DAY, THEN THE DOOR WORKED FINE FOR 2 MORE DAYS BEFORE BECOMING PERMANENTLY NON-FUNCTIONING.
THE DASH CRACKED AROUND AIRBAG, COULD CAUSE PUNCTURE TO BAG WHEN DEPLOYED, CAUSING HARM. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS ONLY 36,000 MILES.
