2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engine Problems

“Twice I have encountered un-commanded rapid acceleration while driving at approximately 45mph. I was able to get the acceleration back under control by pressing and holding the brakes. It has happened in the same location, I'm guessing it is some sort of radio signal interference.”

“My 2013 has developed the notorious lifter tick from a collapsed lifter (this affects many 5.3l v8 engines of this era). This will lead to excessive oil burning, and clogged exhaust systems over time due to the oil burning. This also damages/destroys the cam shaft over time and requires frequent spark plug changes.

“My truck has been consuming excessive oil. I have used the synthetic oil that is specified and changed the oil every 5000 miles. Took it to the dealer and they said they have identified problems with the engine but my warranty has expired. I had to spend another $2,000 for an extended warranty to cover the future fixes they described. There should have been a recall to fix this problem when it was identified. I bought this vehicle new and have never been told of the issue until I complained to a chevy dealer. They know it exists yet they try to fix it with a band-aide type solution. …”
