PERIODICALLY THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAYS ON FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND THEN IT WILL GO OFF FOR ABOUT 3-6 MONTHS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW ARE DRIVERS TO KNOW IF SOMETHING IS TRULY WRONG WITH THE TRUCK WHEN THE CLUSTER PANEL IS NOT PRESENTING THE CORRECT READING. WE DEPEND ON THE CLUSTER PANEL TO ALERT US WHEN SOMETHING IS GOING AWRY. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY RAN INTO THIS ISSUE WITH MY TRUCK AND IT ONLY HAS APPROX 50,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT. I HAVE JUST RECENTLY STARTED WORKING WITH THE CHEVY COMPANY BUT I HAVE NOT BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL SO FAR IN GETTING ANY FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WITH THIS AND I AM TOLD IT WILL BE APPROX $800.00 TO R & R IT. I TRULY HOPE THAT OTHER OWNERS WILL COME FORWARD WITH THIS ISSUE AND IF WE STAND TOGETHER WE CAN CONVENIENCE CHEVROLET THAT THEY NEED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT AND PROVIDE US WITH SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION FOR THIS ISSUE. I LIKE MY TRUCK AND WOULD RATHER GET IT FIXED THEN GET RID OF IT.

ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4, 2015, SHORTLY AFTER A FUEL STOP, I WAS TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE 24 NEAR PADUCAH, KY. AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN THE LEFT LANE WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER ACCOMPANIED BY A LOUD ENGINE RATTLING, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITH SOME DIFFICULTY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, I WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER TO THE RIGHT SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AT ABOUT 25 MPH ON THE SHOULDER. SINCE I WAS JUST A FEW MILES FROM THE PADUCAH EXIT, I LIMPED THERE AND INTO A HAMPTON INN PARKING LOT. AAA RESPONDED AND TOWED THE TRUCK TO ROYAL OAKS CHEVROLET IN PADUCAH. SINCE IT WAS A SUNDAY, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS CLOSED. THE NEXT MORNING, THE DEALERSHIP'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT PULLED UP CODES PO202 AND P2149. THE SERVICE MANAGER REPORTED THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT WOULD BE SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THE REPAIR PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I LATER LEARNED THAT THE SERVICE BULLETIN IS #05-06-04-047C. THE BULLETIN ADDRESSES \"A SEVERE REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER (LIMP HOME MODE)\" I WAS CHARGED $1,076 FOR REPAIRS FOR A KNOWN DEFECT THAT CHEVROLET KNEW ABOUT.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO 2500 HD","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10788750,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"07/08/2015","dateComplaintFiled":"11/06/2015","vin":"1GCHK29U24E","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"DURING A HIGHWAY BRAKING EVENT, BRAKE LINES BLEW OUT DUE TO RUSTING, CAUSING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO 2500 HD","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10787100,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/24/2015","dateComplaintFiled":"10/29/2015","vin":"2GCEK19TX41","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"BRAKE LINE FAILURE","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO 1500","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10786659,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"10/23/2015","dateComplaintFiled":"10/28/2015","vin":"1GCEC14X34Z","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND RUPTURED.

THIS TRUCK IS A 3/4 TON PICKUP. THESE TIRES WERE PASSENGER TIRES RATED AT 4 PLY AND NEVER DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED ON A 3/4 TON PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS UNTIL JUNE 2014 WHEN I LEARNED THIS FROM THE GOODYEAR TIRE CORP. AFTER THEY SENT ME TO HAVE THEIR TIRES INSPECTED. MY TRUCK REQUIRES LT TIRES AND AT LEAST 10 PLY.

ONE TIRE EVENTUALLY BLEW OUT ON THE EXPRESSWAY, FORTUNATELY A MOTORIST I WAS PASSING PULLED UP ALONG SIDE US AND SIGNALED THAT WE HAD A PROBLEM UP FRONT AT THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL AREA! QUESTION IS, WHY WOULD A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP NOT KNOW WHAT TIRES TO INSTALL ON THEIR OWN CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUP TRUCKS? I ASKED THEM TO PUT ON THE CORRECT TIRES ( 10 PLY - LT TIRES) ACCORDING TO THE PLACARD LOCATED ON MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AT NO CHARGE BUT THEY REFUSED NOW WHAT ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN AGAINST A DEALERSHIP WHO WOULD DO THIS? I HAD LT TIRES ON THE TRUCK BACK IN JUNE OF 2010 WHEN I PULLED INTO THIS CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE ONE TIRE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF A SLOW LEAK. THEY TALKED ME INTO BUYING 4 NEW TIRES AND THESE ARE THE ONES THEY RECOMMENDED AND I AGREED TO. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THESE WERE NOT DESIGNED TO BE USED ON A 3/4 TON PICKUP TRUCK. I HAD 75K MILES ON THE TRUCK THEN AND TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THEY GAVE ME FREE ROTATIONS EVERY 6 - 8K MILES WITHOUT EVER TELLING ME THEY HAD INSTALLED INCORRECT TIRES ON MY TRUCK! THIS IS A NIGHTMARE! WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO? GM HAS BEEN ZERO HELP IN THIS MATTER!!!!---I'VE TRIED BUT THEY ARE WORTHLESS! AND THIS DEALERSHIP IS PATHETIC THAT THEY WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR MISTAKE AND CORRECT IT BY REFUNDING MY MONEY BACK!

TECHNICIAN ORDERED A BRAKE LINE \"KIT\" FROM GM AND INSTALLED IT FOR TOTAL COST OF ABOUT $1000.00. AFTER 3 MONTHS, I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES FELT SOFT, AND DISCOVERED IT NEEDED 3/4 CAN OF BRAKE FLUID. CLOSER INSPECTION UNDER VEHICLE DISCLOSED ANOTHER BADLY RUSTED BRAKE LINE LOCATED ON THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE FRAME & THE TRUCK BED. (IT APPEARS THE BED WILL HAVE TO BE LIFTED TO REPLACE THIS LINE. IT EITHER WASN'T PART OF THE KIT, OR THE REPAIR STATION SKIPPED REPLACING IT BECAUSE IT WAS TOO HARD TO GET TO.) MY COMPLAINT WOULD BE THAT NON-STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINES WERE USED ORIGINALLY, AND THAT THE LINES THAT WERE INSTALLED ARE OF INFERIOR QUALITY THAT WILL RUST OUT AND FAIL. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK WHEN MINE FAILED BECAUSE I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST, THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME, AND IT WAS EXPERIENCED ENOUGH TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I'M NOT SURE A YOUNGER DRIVER GOING FASTER IN TRAFFIC COULD STOP BEFORE A COLLISION. *TR","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2004","productMake":"CHEVROLET","productModel":"SILVERADO","manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC"}]},{"odiNumber":10627475,"manufacturer":"General Motors, LLC","crash":false,"fire":false,"numberOfInjuries":0,"numberOfDeaths":0,"dateOfIncident":"08/16/2014","dateComplaintFiled":"08/22/2014","vin":"1GCEK19T74E","components":"SERVICE BRAKES","summary":"TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHEVROLET SILVERADO.

MY CONCERN IS THAT GM AND ITS DEALERS ARE AWARE OF THIS AND HAVE NOT WARNED TRUCK OWNERS ABOUT THE DANGERS. MY DEALER JUST SERVICED MY TRUCK AND GAVE IT A SAFETY CHECK, BUT DID NOT SEEM TO NOTICE THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTING OUT TO THE POINT OF FAILURE. I WONDER HOW MANY TRUCKS WITH PREMATURELY ROTTING BRAKE LINES THEY HAVE REPAIRED OVER THE YEARS (AND NOT HAVE NOTICED A PATTERN), ONLY TO REMAIN SILENT?

THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER WAS USED FREQUENTLY, PLUGGING A 400 WATT INVERTER WHICH ALLOWED THE DRIVER TO USE HIS COMPUTER.

THIS SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED PRIOR TO EITHER OF MY COMPLAINTS ABOUT OVERHEATING. THE COST OF IMPLEMENTING SERVICE BULLETIN #06-06-04-036D IS APPROXIMATELY $1,300 DOLLARS, SO GENERAL MOTORS RECOGNIZES THAT THIS SERIES TRUCK HAS A SIGNIFICANT OVERHEATING PROBLEM, BUT APPARENTLY THEY ARE HIDING THIS FIX FROM THE OWNERS UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

READ THIS AND MORE FROM OTHER DRIVERS ON THE INTERNET!!!! THE WINCH PART NUMBER IS 15247311. THE PART COSTS AROUND $100. THERE IS DEFINITELY A CORROSION ISSUE WITH THE SECONDARY LATCH. BEST TO CHECK IT, CLEAN IT, GREASE IT, WHEN CHECKING AIR PRESSURE ON THE SPARE. SPARE TIRE WILL LIKELY DROP A COUPLE INCHES WHEN YOU UNCRANK THE WINCH. IF IT HANGS UP AT THAT POINT, THE SECONDARY LATCH IS NOT RELEASING. CONTINUING TO UNCRANK THE CABLE CAN TEAR UP THE WINCH, AS THE CABLE HAS NOWHERE TO GO. AFTER LOWERING THE TIRE A COUPLE INCHES, TRY SUPPORTING THE TIRE AND FORCING IT BACK UP.
