CP4 high pressure fuel pump failed causing Loss of Motive Power (LOMP) in Oct of 2018. Truck became hard to steer and brake but I was traveling at a lower speed. Had it of been 1 hour later I would have been at freeway speeds pulling a 13000lbs trailer. I had the truck towed to a local dealer where they diagnosed the truck as having a failed CP4 high pressure fuel pump made by Bosch. They informed me that the entire fuel system would have to be replaced do to the large amount of metal contaminants that this catastrophic failure produces and spreads though out the entire system. The total cost for the repairs were not covered under any type of warranty or recall and had to be paid entirely out of pocket. Not only was this a huge inconvenience as I was trying to leave town for a vacation it was very very expensive. I still can not understand why there has never been a recall on this issue. I think it can be related to a safety issue as a LOMP. I believe GM knew that the CP4 pump was and could be a faulty product but continued to use it.

DIESEL EXHAUST FILTER (DEF) AND FLOW REDUCTION TUBE ON DURAMAX LML ENGINE. FAUTLY DEF REQUIRES EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES TO CLEAN - OR REGENERATE - CAUSING THE DEF AND REDUCTION TUBE TO FAIL. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE A FIRE HAZARD TO VEHICLE AND GRASS OR OTHER TERRAIN OVER WHICH THE TRUCK IS PARKED. GM NO LONGER MANUFACTURES THE REDUCTION TUBE, GM PART NUMBER 25960609 FORCING THE CONSUMER TO WAIT FOR GM TO MAKE PART ON SPECIAL ORDER BASIS - OVER 30 DAYS - OR FORCE CONSUMER TO REMOVE DEF OR MAKE OTHER FABRICATION, ORDER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. GM IS AWARE VIA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND DEALER COMPLAINTS THAT THE LACK OF PART 25960609 AVAILABILITY IS A NATION-WIDE PROBLEM AND HAS A HIGH FAILURE RATE. GM STOPPED PRODUCTION AS A COST SAVING MEASURE. THE DURAMAX LML ENGINE IS IN SERVICE MOSTLY AS COMMERCIAL VEHICLE FLEET. THUS, THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF UNSAFE FABRICATION IN ORDER TO RESTORE VEHICLE OPERATION.

The DEF system on this vehicle has failed three times since we bought it in 2021. The weather was not pleasant and in one case it was extremely dangerous. The DEF system froze up and fortunately I was able to limp it into a dealer who managed to get it working again but not after losing half a day and spending a couple hundred dollars. The second time a sensor failed and I was able to reset the system myself via removing all the electricity from the vehicle and doing what they call a shady tree reset. The third time the vehicle went into limp mode on us was when a sensor failed and the DEF pump failed at the same time. Chevy refused to help us cover the cost of repairs and refuses to replace the defective system. The vehicle might be over ten years old but it is like showroom new, it only had 20,000 miles on it in 2021 when we bought it and the previous owner took very good care of the truck. The vehicle now only has 32,000 miles on it. Our main argument is that Chevy aka GM knows about the defective systems and refuses to replace them. I have been in the transportation industry for a good part of my life and I know vehicles, especially diesel operated vehicles. The DEF systems are a complete joke and need to be removed especially for people who live in very cold climates.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, EXITING TO AN OFF-RAMP, TRUCK LOST POWER STEERING AND BRAKES SIMULTANEOUSLY, WITHOUT ANY PRIOR INDICATIONS OF MECHANICAL TROUBLE. CHEVROLET CURRENTLY SHOWS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. FORTUNATELY TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT AND A COLLISION WAS AVOIDED.
