“This is a recurring problem- my vehicle (purchased brand new by me) while cruising on the highway will start to try and cut off while driving. The door locks will pop up and down, the dash gauges power on and off, the headlamps flash on and off, etc... Last week the vehicle completely shut down while doing this and I had to coast to the side of the road. This happened three times in 48 hours.”
NHTSA complaint #10498188, filed 2013-02, 65,308 miles“When I try starting the truck it makes a clicking sound like it wants to turn over and then won't. Sometimes it never happens and other times it may take three or four times of trying to get it to start before it will. The service engine light came on and continued to stay on. Took it to a chevy dealer and was placed on the diagnostic computer and I was told codes found were po174 and po171. Smoke test was performed on evap system and induction system. Found leaks at the pcv hose, purge valve hoses and purge valve is stuck open. …”
NHTSA complaint #11365016, filed 2020-10, 114,900 miles“I have had an issue with my 2007 chevy silverado jerking with a hard thump while accelerating. At first it was diagnoses as a faulty throttle body. Replaced the throttle body. Now it intermittently pulls hard when accelerating at any speed. This cannot be safe. Dealerships cannot figure out the issue and I am having trouble googling any specific reason. Many people have this same issue with little to resolution. This is intermittently so it the stabilitrac and traction control lights come on and off within minutes. It was happening a few times a weeks and now it is happening a few times a day. …”
