2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Electrical System Problems

I believe all the dealership did was dust/armor all my air bag compartment door. It still has a 2013 takata air bag installed which was deployed somehow causing a can of axe body spray to explode which caused the dash, seat, and wiring including the compartment to burn/melt totaling my truck. I could have been killed if I was sitting their.

Tcm failed driving 60 down the highway, check engine light came on, stabiliatrack service light came on traction control tuned off all at the same time. Lost all communication to the transmission putting truck in limp mode going down the highway. Mechanic shop hooked up the scanner to the truck and couldn’t communicate with the tcm in anyway. All things happened at once while driving. There are no replacement parts to be found in the country. Please make this a recall keeping drivers safely off the side of highways and roads and possibly being hit by a car.

TCM for Allision Transmission,went out .2013 Chevy 2500-65000 miles,Lights in dash came on truck would not pull 1/2 mile later.down the road.Truck is setting waiting for GM to get a TCM,none are availble.

SPORATIC FAILURE OF THE FUEL PUMP CAUSING THE TRUCK TO NOT START OR TO STALL WHILE BEING DRIVEN. ISSUE HAPPENED BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND WHILE IN MOTION. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED FUSE BLOCK FAILURE. WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FUSE BLOCK FAILURE IS COMMON, SO MUCH SO THAT THEY STOCK THE REPLACEMENTS. FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY TOWING MY TRAILER WHEN THE LAST INCIDENT HAPPENED. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY TOWING, IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC SINCE THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. THE TRUCK ONLY HAD 11,612 MILES ON IT AT THE LAST INSTANCE.

UPDATE OF NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10809089. THE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAS INCREASED TO THE FOLLOWING OBD CODES: P0010, P0122, P0202, P0233, P0335, P0455, P0340, P1682, P2089 AS WELL. AT THIS POINT THERE DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE ANYTHING LEFT ON THE VEHICLE THAT DOES WORK. SINCE THE RECALLS AND TECHNICAL BULLETINS ALL APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN "COMPLETED" FOR THIS VEHICLE I GUESS I CAN LOOK FORWARD TO REPEATING THE SAME PROBLEMATIC REPAIRS AGAIN AND AGAIN FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE TIME THAT I OWN THIS VEHICLE WHICH DO NOT APPEAR TO HAVE RESOLVED BUT MERELY BAND AIDED AWAY UNTIL THEY REAPPEAR. EVEN THE DRIVERS DOOR SWITCHES ALL HAD TO BE REPLACED WHICH TELLS ME THAT THIS IS RELATED TO AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS THE MATTER HAD FORCED CONSUMERS TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO FAIL WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONSUMERS SAFETY NOR FINANCIAL BURDENS. IT APPEARS THAT THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH MOST ARE DIRECTLY LINKED TO THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS AND GROUNDING ISSUES AS MANY TECHNICIANS ARE REPORTING. AT THIS POINT THE TRUCK NEEDS TO BE TOTALED.

THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING POORLY AND THROWING MANY CODES (EVAP, STABILITRAK, ABS, CAM, IGNITION, INJECTION, AND EVEN THROTTLE ERRORS FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ALSO BEEN BUMPING (NOT SLIPPING) IN 2ND GEAR UNDER LOAD. YESTERDAY THE TRUCK STARTED RUNNING REALLY ROUGH AND THE TRANSMISSION STARTED SHIFTING REALLY HARD (UP AND DOWN) JUST BEFORE THE MESSAGE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" AND THE "STABILITRAK CAME ON AGAIN. I SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I AM TOWING A 30' TOW BEHIND CAMPER WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS HAS EFFECTED EVERYTHING FROM MY FUEL ECONOMY, HANDLING AND NOW EVEN BASIC OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. STABILITRAK HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THE REPAIR FACILITY HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE ECU/ECM IS THE MOST LIKELY CULPRIT AND THEREFORE IT IS BEING REPLACED BECAUSE I WILL NOT PLACE MYSELF NOR ANY OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS OR OTHERS ON THE ROAD INTO HARMS WAY NOR DO I WANT TO END UP A STATISTIC OF ANOTHER MANUFACTURER KNOWN DEFECT.
