“My 2017 SILVERADO 1500, while at a stop light was idling rough and check engine light came. So when I brought the truck in for a second recall. The dealer said they could do a diagnostic. Well they said it was miss firing due to bad fuel injector cylinder 8 wasn't working so they gave me a price of 1500 to fix the problem unfortunately we just got out from the factory warranty and had extended warranty that didn't cover fuel injectors so we put lucas fuel injector cleaner and it helped. It seems as if there are a lot of complaints for this reason.”
NHTSA complaint #11341878, filed 2020-07, 60,320 miles“Code p0300 and p050d keep on being thrown. Vehicle started having these issues back when I had 30k miles and now at 45k, I am getting them more often. The downshifts because of this are bad, the vehicle jerks when it downshifts. Feels like someone is rear-ending you. Vehicle sometimes shakes and sounds like its misfiring. I can sometimes turn off the vehicle and turn back on and it will work fine like nothing is wrong. Chevy wants $150 to diagnose and about $12000 to replace injectors since they are not covered under their bumper to bumper or powertrain warranty. …”
NHTSA complaint #11415118, filed 2021-05, 30,000 miles“My 2017 (1500) silverado ltz runs rough when ever the truck is in motion. It even run rough when it's parked and not moving. The shifting is rough as well. For example, when I'm at a red light, a stop sign or just at a complete stop, I have to take off fast because if I take off slowly, my truck will jerk incredibly hard. I turned on my truck one morning and it just was shaking so bad and out of control. I took my truck to a Chevrolet dealership to get a diagnosis done and I have 3 bad fuel injectors. They want to charge me about $1400 for the repairs, not happening. …”
NHTSA complaint #11383382, filed 2020-12, 43,000 miles“Truck went into reduced engine power with check engine light and traction control light illuminated on the instrument cluster. Subsequent restarts of the truck resulted in the code clearing itself and normal start up. Now it is having trouble starting up on a cold start, especially with remote start.”
NHTSA complaint #11408590, filed 2021-04, 47,000 miles“The engine is unable to receive consistent fuel when you start the vehicle. It requires pushing down on the gas pedal multiple times and restarts to get the engine going. Then, while driving the engine loses fuel and causes the vehicle to turn off and essentially die. This has put me in 2 near wreck incidents already despite the GM dealerships saying there is no issue.”
