I parked my truck in the garage and shut it off, after a minute or two the starter engaged by itself, cranking the engine over, luckily I wasn't to far from and heard it. I tried by putting the key in the ignition, nothing, pulled the starter relay, still kept cranking, by the time I got some tools to disconnect the battery smoke was rolling out by the starter, disconnecting the battery did stop the starter. Had it hauled to my nearest chevy dealer. Had to have the starter, engine wiring harness and engine fuse block replaced. It fine now, but why" What would have happened if this happened in the middle of the night" This is an attached to house garage, there could have been a fire with who knows what consequences or outcome!

While driving truck suddenly shuts down. This will often happen while turning or after applying the brakes. This has happened in parking lots as well as while traveling at 50 miles an hour. Usually shuts down for a few seconds and then starts back. Sometimes it shuts off completely and I have to place it in park and restart. The last time was while in traffic.

I had to replace the transmission and pay out of pocket because my transmission went out due to the recalls that was never sent to me and I was never notified until now.

So on a cold start, my pickup was running extremely ruff. I shut it off and restarted it. Mind you the engine light is on now it seems to run better. So I go to work and encounter the same problem at the end of the day. I have it hooked up to the diagnostics machine and get P050D code as well as one more code (don't remember that one). This is a malfunction with the fuel injectors and the fuel supply. To much or to little can happen when ever. My mechanic tells me GM has a special service bulletins on this very problem. (N182198000). This is only for 13 states and certain VIN#s. So I call the dealership and they tell me that some 350,000 vehicles have been recalled. They gave them 10 years or 150,000 miles. Now everyone else that encounters the same safety issues to bad sorry for your luck, not their problem is what I was told. This is for 2016 and 2017 5.3 and 6.2 engines. To top if off when I talked with the GM representative for my area she advised me to report it here. Not to concerned about the product that they sold. Mind you not previous recalls where for seatbelts but only the front seats"?" I still believe they should of replaced the rear seatbelts. They don't retract as they should and I'm struggling to find my ones

Engine overheating when pulling a trailer uphill. A simular problem also occurred with the transmission fluid reaching 212 degrees. Both incidents did occur on a hot days in California. Responded by turning on the heat in the summer time which solved the temporary engine overheating problem. Engine coolant was at the proper level and had not exceeded the manufactures 5 year 50,000 mile life time. This despite the truck being sold specifically rated for trailer towing with me neither overloading, exceeding tow rating or exceeding 55 mph. When this occurred.

I was in for an oil change and dealership told me there was no fluid in my radiator. Upon inspection the radiator had cracked and was leaking at the seam right corner. The mechanic told me it was the 7th one they had done this season. I live in mass near ocean. It was a rainy day and my windows were up. There were no fumes, no warning lights to alert me something was going wrong with the heating cooling system.. the concern was my truck wasn't the first to have this problem with this particular dealership. The same dealership mcgee raynham MA has been the only company to work on my truck.

The truck will cut engine at any speed, totally losing power to breaks, steering, odometers etc. It mostly comes back on after a few seconds and sends a code of many different kids (service park assist, stabiitrac, roll window down and back up, trailer brake assist etc) this is very dangerous and needs to be recalled. This could happen during a critical driving move and could end up deadly. Currently, there are 70,000 miles on this truck and out of standard warranty and will probably cost a lot to fix. (labor mostly) research shows that this is pretty common and very scary. GM even has a service bulletin out (18-na-161) showing that this is a common problem and is very dangerous, thus need to cover the recall right away.

On Jan 30, 2021 a check engine light appeared on start-up but had no noticeable difference in driving conditions or reading from dash gauges. Checked engine code and it read po6dd, took my truck to a GM dealer and they ran a test showing 20psi too low of oil pressure at the top side of the engine as a result of a failed oil pump solenoid. Was told this could have caused an engine failure. Cost to repair this issue is >$3,000. While the dealership was test driving my truck after repairing the oil solenoid the entire power steering unit failed. The entire power steering unit needs to be replaced and is nearly $1,500 to repair. These problems on a 5 year old vehicle with 103,490 miles seems like a major issue. I reached out to GM and they said that these issues are not under recall and will not be assisting in any costs involved in repairs.

When driving, if I do something electrical, like applying the brakes or using my turn signal, the entire car electrical system shuts off for a second and sometimes jerks the steering wheel out of my hand. It usually restarts immediately on its own while driving. I've had it also while parked with just the radio on, that everything just died. Then it took a few tries before the truck engine turned over to try starting

- Two Rivers, WI, USA

Coolant leak on driver side of radiator. This causes truck to overheat when driving on city streets or highways & at idle on occasion. It causes truck to overheat every time when hauling a load(pulling a trailer and/or boat) on city streets & highways. I can visibly see coolant leaking from the radiator. Driving with the ac on makes the overheating worse.

- Ninnekah, OK, USA

I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado high country 6.2L engine 8 speed transmission 38,000 miles. Transmission either hesitates or shifts roughly when accelerating. Multiple times when this occurred making a turn it nearly caused an accident if it decided to hesitate shifting. GM has done nothing about this problem except give customer magical fluid fixes that don't last if they work at all, they are now on the third fluid including the original factory. They've been telling customers the transmission just has to re-learn shift patterns from day one. A friend of mine has one of these trucks as well and had one dealer tell him that's just how the truck works. If this is an acceptable mode of operation then why was the truck allowed on the road in the first place?
