2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Problems

as mentioned by many customers the dash on the vehicles crack and GM refuses to pay for repairs. Now there is a Airbag recall that needs to be completed and I am told by dealer that the dash will crack more and get worse during the repair and they are not responsible for the damage. This is unacceptable and unsafe as it is costing me and consumers more money for a defective product.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V050000 (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. The dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

Engine suddenly stopped running while driving and could not be restarted. It was towed to a local diesel repair shop. Diagnostics showed a catastrophic failure of the high pressure fuel pump which polluted the complete fuel system with metal.

With all the known issues involving the failing CP4 fuel pumps out in the field, why hasn't there been a nationwide recall on this issue? We're being proactive in getting our LML repaired to save our engine. We want our costs reimbursed. This isn't a "small" matter. It's freakin' huge.

Reduction tank makes truck only go 55 when the tank is full causing truck to not go flow of traffic there is a recall 11001 but gm dealer will not repair and knew about this and still sold the truck without tell customer about this

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle shut-off with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over and restart the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was able to drive the vehicle to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not yet diagnosed. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 203,000.

The transmission control module (TCM) began acting erratic. At times the transmission will not shift but several times it has gone into park( with no warning) when slowing down causing the wheels to lock and the truck skids to a stop. I was nearly in 2 accidents when this happened. Both time I was hauling a load and caused the traffic behind me have to swerve to not run into me. In looking into the issue I found that in 2011 GM had put out a shop notice that they had a known problem with the TCM and they thought it might be caused by a non-OEM fan belt causing electrical discharge that might impact the TCM. A second shop notice from GM stated that the issue was due to heat and since they has mounted the unit on the fan shroud it should be moved. But none of the shops I went to knew about these shop notices from GM. Thousands of TCMS have failed but no recall. GM has now greatly reduced production of replacement modules and the cost of a new TCM has gone from $400 to $5000 ( Plus programing ) and a long wait time to get one. You can get one refurbished for $1200.

It is a transmission control module wear a lobster transmission into a Garin. Will not let you speed up or speed down and it is unsafe and GM IS making us pay for the bill. The contact stated transmission control module all across the country on back order, you cannot get a dealer to get you one within six months GM should have to do something about this.

GM is aware of a known failure in their Transmission Control Modules. My part number is 24256670. My truck has 87,000 miles on it and not drivable due to this failed electronic component. There are thousands of people just like me experiencing this issue. Check engine light illuminates once unit gets hot. Multiple codes will display at this time. This happened at a stop light, causing traffic jam and congestion, unnecessary safety infringement on all i affected.

ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 2019, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT MY VEHICLE WHEN I PULLED THE DOOR HANDLE ONLY TO HAVE IT BREAK OFF IN MY HAND. I WENT TO REACH TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LEFT TO PULL TO OPEN THE DOOR ONLY TO FIND THE HANDLE HAD BROKEN OFF CLEANLY FROM THE MECHANISM, LEAVING NO OTHER WAY TO EXIT THE VEHICLE OTHER THAN ROLLING DOWN THE WINDOW AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE THROUGH THE WINDOW OR BY SLIDING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE VEHICLE TO EXIT THROUGH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY I THOUGHT THAT IF THIS HAD BEEN AN EMERGENCY, SUCH AS A FIRE OR WRECK, I WOULD PROBABLY NOT BE ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN A SAFE AND TIMELY MANNER, RISKING FURTHER INJURY OR DEATH. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT A REPLACEMENT HANDLE & MECHANISM, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON AND SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH MOST GM VEHICLES. I VIEW THIS AS A SAFETY CONCERN MORE THAN JUST A NORMAL MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR ISSUE, SIMILAR TO THE SAFETY CONCERN OF A COMMERCIAL AIRCRAFT'S DOOR NOT OPENING IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY EXIT DURING AN ACCIDENT. GM, FORD, DODGE, AND ALL AUTOMOBILE MAKERS SHOULD ENSURE THAT A COMMON OR SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH A SAFETY ITEM, SUCH AS AN EXIT DOOR, SHOULD BE CORRECTED TO AVOID DANGEROUS CONDITIONS. THANK YOU.

PURCHASED A VEHICLE FROM DAVE SMITH MOTORS ON OCT 7,2019 AND THE REAR SEAT BELTS DO T MATCH OR OPERATE AFTER BEING TOLD IT WENT THROUGH A 125 POINT INSPECTION AND ON THEIR SITE SAYS SEATBELTS ARE INSPECTED AND I HAVE UNOPERATIONAL SEAT BELTS WHICH IS A SAFTEY HAZARD ON THEIR PART AS THEY SOLD A VEHICLE WITH UNMATCHED AND OPERATIONAL SAFTEY BELTS.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE DRIVE'S SEAT BELT HAS TOTALLY "RELEASED" WHILE DRIVING ALONG THE HIGHWAY WHILE I AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE DRIVING ALONG. THESE INADVERTENT RELEASES WERE REPORTED TO MY VEHICLES DEALER (T & C CHEVROLET, ASHLAND, OREGON) ON MAY 27,.2016 AT 21261 MILES. DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY DEFECT.

NEW VEHICLE FRONT END SUSPENSION BEGAN TO RANDOMLY VIOLENTLY SHAKE AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS (ONCE @ 55 MPH & ONCE @ 70 MPH). THE SHAKING WAS SO BAD THAT THE DRIVER COULD BARLEY HOLD THE WHEEL STRAIGHT TO AVOID LOSING CONTROL & CRASHING. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING THE VEHICLE 4 WD LIGHT WAS BLINKING DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS IN 2 WD. ONCE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER HE INSPECTED THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE TO FIND NO MECHANICAL ISSUES (NO FLAT TIRES, THINGS IN THE WHEELS, ETC...). DRIVER THEN BEGAN DRIVING AGAIN & THE VEHICLE WAS FINE AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. DRIVER CALLED ONSTAR & THEY STATED THERE WERE NO FAULT CODES IN THE SYSTEM. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH. THIS TIME THE DRIVER NEARLY GOT INTO A ROLL OVER ACCIDENT. HE WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. UPON INSPECTION THERE WERE AGAIN NO MECHANICAL ISSUES. OWNER DROVE TO DEALER & WAS TOLD TO BRING BACK THE NEXT DAY. OWNER INQUIRED IF VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE & WAS TOLD "I HOPE SO" BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN. GM CUSTOMER CARE WAS CALLED & STATED THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE 2011 HD VEHICLES. OWNER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER NEXT MORNING & SEVERAL HOURS LATER WAS CALLED & TOLD IT WAS MUD IN WHEELS (NOT POSSIBLE SINCE THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THERE WAS NO MUD). OWNERS SON THEN LOOKED ON INTERNET TO SEE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IN THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE. THE SON THEN FOUND THAT A TSB WAS ISSUED BY GM TO ALL DEALERS FOR A STICKY BREAK PEDAL THAT WHEN STUCK (EVEN THOUGH IT APPEARS VISUALLY TO NOT BE STUCK) WILL AT RANDOM TIMES CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE VIOLENTLY. TSB# PIT5037B. DEALER WAS THEN TOLD BY OWNER ABOUT THE TSB & DEALER WAS NOT AWARE OF TSB. REPAIR WAS PERFORMED & THE VEHICLE HAS NOT SHOOK SINCE. OWNER WAS SUPPOSE TO BE PULLING A 30 FT 5TH WHEEL WITH A 15 FT TRAILER ATTACHED TO IT (45 FT. TOTAL).
