2010 Chevrolet Silverado Problems

MY OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN TWO MONTHS. THE OIL PRESSURE WILL BE FINE WHEN STARTING THE ENGINE COLD THEN GRADUALLY AS THE ENGINE WARMS UP IT DROPS AND DROPS UNTIL THE "LOW OIL PRESSURE" LIGHT COMES ON AND THE DISPLAY SAYS TO STOP ENGINE. AFTER SHUTTING OFF THE ENGINE FOR ONLY A FEW SECONDS AND THEN RESTARTING THE OIL PRESSURE IS BACK AROUND 30 THEN WILL DROP AND DROP AND WILL HAVE TO REPEAT. THIS LAST TIME I WAS DRIVING 80MPH AND THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE WENT DOWN TO AROUND 5. AS SOON AS IT WAS RESTARTED IT WAS AROUND 30. THE FIRST REPLACEMENT WAS ON 1/19/2016. THIS LAST WAS REPLACED 03/07/2016.

WINTER OF 2014, SILVERADO WOULD ENGAGE IT'S STABILITRACK CONTROL. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT SLOWS THE SPEED AT WHICH THE TRUCK COULD GO IF IT SENSED THE ROADS MAY BE ICY. THE TRUCK WOULD MOVE BUT VERY SLOWLY AND IT FELT AS IF YOU HAD NO CONTROL OVER IT. EVEN WHEN BRAKING IT SEEMED TO NOT WANT TO BRAKE. DANGEROUS IF IT FELT TO ENGAGE WHILE ON THE ROAD. WE REMOVED THE FUSE THAT WAS ASSOCIATED TO THE STABILITRACK AND FOR A MOMENT WORKED. THEN WHILE SEARCHING ON YOU TUBE, WE FOUND THAT A SENSOR WAS REPLACED ON OTHER TRUCKS. WE REPLACED THE SENSOR AND IT STOPPED IT. TRUCK HAS BEEN GOOD UNTIL THIS WINTER 2015-2016. NOW THE INTERNAL TEMPERATURE OF THE TRUCK HAS TO BE AT LEAST 33 DEGREES OR HIGHER IN ORDER FOR IT TO START IN THE MORNINGS. OTHERWISE IT IS DEAD. I HAVE TO GET RIDES TO WORK, SINCE I WORK IN TOWN, I AM ABLE TO HAVE SOMEONE DRIVE ME BACK HOME BETWEEN 9AM AND 10AM TO COME GET MY TRUCK, CAUSE BY THAT TIME IT USUALLY IS WARM ENOUGH FOR IT TO START. UNLESS THE WHOLE DAY IS GOING TO BE BELOW 32 DEGREES, WELL THEN I AM JUST [XXX] OUT OF LUCK! THERE ARE NO RECALLS, BUT I KNOW I CAN'T BE THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. YOU TUBE SHOWS MANY VIDEOS WITH THESE TRUCKS AND HOW AFTER THEY DO ONE THING, IT WORKS,THEN THEY HAVE TO DO ANOTHER AND ANOTHER. I THINK THAT GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE ISSUES FOR FREE. IT SHOULD BE A RECALL. I JUST CAN'T BE DISHING OUT MONEY WHENEVER THE TRUCK DECIDES IT WANTS TO NOT WORK, GM HAS TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS WRONG, INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING ONE THING AND THEN ANOTHER TO GET OUR MONEY. WE ARE ALREADY PAYING FOR THE TRUCK MONTHLY, DON'T THINK GM IS HURTING FOR MONEY. GM DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!! I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A LOYAL CHEVROLET CONSUMER, MY THOUGHTS ARE CHANGING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE SPARE TIRE FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, THE SPARE TIRE FAILED TO MOVE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT HAD TO FRACTURE THE WIRE CABLE THAT HELD THE TIRE IN PLACE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY 2008 GMC 3500 DUALLY. THE CRACK IS IN BETWEEN THE AIR BAG AND THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK IS ABOUT 1" TO 1 1/2" LONG. THE CRACK APPEARED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS SITTING OUTSIDE.

The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V054000 (Air Bags). However, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The local dealer-scheduled an appointment but cancelled it due to parts not being available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

MY DASH WAS FINE ON 6-10-15, WHEN GOT IN IT ON THE MORNING OF 6-11-15 THE DASH WAS CRACKED BY THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE IS 5 YEARS OLD BUT ONLY HAS 54,000 MILES. I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND IT HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. SEE THE FOLLOWING SITE: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/?FREF=NF THIS APPEARS TO BE A FLAW IN THE QUALITY OF MATERIALS USED IN THESE VEHICLES. NOT ONLY DOES IT TAKE AWAY FROM THE APPEARANCE AND VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, IT IS ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN. WILL THE AIRBAG STILL WORK PROPERLY? IF IN AN ACCIDENT WILL THERE BE FLYING PIECES OF PLASTIC BECAUSE OF THE FLAWED CRACKED EQUIPMENT? THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT GM TAKES CARE OF FOR ITS CUSTOMERS 100%.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT SMELLED AN ABNORMAL ODOR COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED FLAMES. THE FLAMES EXTINGUISHED ITSELF AFTER 15 MINUTES. THE CONTACT PROCEEDED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ONCE IT COOLED DOWN. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED TRANSMISSION OIL LEAKING AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION GEAR WAS SLIPPING FROM EACH GEAR. THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE AND WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,000.

THIS TRUCK IS LESS THAN 4 YEARS IN MY OWNERSHIP (BOUGHT NEW). THIS WINTER I SAW RED DOTS IN THE SNOW AND LOW AND BEHOLD THE TRANSMISSION LINES ARE LEAKING. A $300 BILL NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE. SEEMS THE RUBBER ENDS DO NOT LIKE COLD WEATHER BUT YET THEY ARE ALLOWED TO SELL THIS VEHICLE IN A STATE WITH COLD WEATHER. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE AIR-CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR GIVE OUT AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY A $1000 REPAIR. I HAVE ALSO HAD THE BUMPER REPLACE BECAUSE IT RUSTED THROUGH IN THE FIRST YEARS, AT LEAST IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTEE.

SPARE TIRE HOIST BRACKET BROKE AND SPARE TIRE WAS SWINGING LOOSELY UNDER REAR OF TRUCK. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED SEVERAL STRESS CRACKS IN BRACKET SURROUNDING THE BOLT HOLE. IF TIRE BRACKET WOULD HAVE BROKE OFF TIRE WOULD DROP TO PAVEMENT AND BECOME A ROAD HAZARD. SOURCES AT DEALER INDICATED THEY HAD NO BULLETINS ON THIS ITEM BUT KNEW OF SOME PEOPLE WHO HAD LOST THEIR SPARE TIRES. I STILL HAVE THE PARTS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, MY 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH 27,000 MILE SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND SLOWED FROM 50MPH TO 25MPH IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. DUE TO THE EXTREME REDUCTION IN SPEED WITH OUT MY BRAKE LIGHTS BEING ENGAGED, A VEHICLE FOLLOWING ME HAD TO MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER, TURN IN THE RIGHT LANE, AND ALMOST STRUCK A THIRD VEHICLE. THREE WARNING MESSAGES WERE GIVEN THAT INCLUDED, ENGINE POWER REDUCED, TRACTION CONTROL OFF AND SERVICE STABILITRACK. THE VEHICLE STARTED TO RUN EXTREMELY ROUGH AND I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT. WHILE IN THE PARKING, LOT I RESEARCHED THE ABOVE LISTED MESSAGES AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM THAT HAS BEEN LINKED TO THE THROTTLE BODY SYSTEM AND THE INTAKE. I THEN RESEARCHED IF ANY RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I FOUND THAT A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED BUT NOT A RECALL. I WAS ALSO SURPRISED THAT THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO HAVE NOTHING TO DUE WITH STABILITRACK. I THEN LIMPED THE VEHICLE HOME AT 20 MPH. WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR IT WOULD LUNG FORWARD VIOLENTLY. I LATER CALLED THE PITRE GMC, IN ALBUQUERQUE NM, AND SPOKE WITH A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE. I ASKED HIM IF A RECALLED HAD BEEN ISSUED FOR THESE VEHICLES IN REFERENCE TO THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. HE STATED THAT HE DID NOT KNOW OF A RECALL BUT I COULD DRIVE IT DOWN TO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THEY COULD CHECK THE CODES ON IT. I WAS SURPRISED BY HIS RESPONSE INSTRUCTING ME TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF A MOTOR VEHICLE CRASH THAT COULD RESULT IN SEVER INJURY OR DEATH. HOPEFULLY GM AND NHTSA WILL NOT WAIT UNTIL THERE ARE NUMEROUS DEATHS TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS POTENTIALLY AS DANGEROUS AS THE IGNITION SWITCH ISSUE THAT KILLED SEVERAL PEOPLE. I AM A GENERATIONAL CHEVROLET CONSUMER, BUT THAT WILL PROBABLY CHANGE.

THEY ARE SO FOGGED UP ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK YOU NEED TO EITHER DRIVE WITH A WINDOW DOWN ON KEEP A TOWEL IN THE TRUCK TO WIPE THE WINDOWS CLEAN TO SEE.
