Vehicle has, on multiple occasions, had blinker lights flicker while vehicle is turned off. Vehicle has locked by itself, without anyone touching the lock buttons. Vehicle has had multiple issues with the fuel injectors, where the vehicle will read -??reduced power engine.-?? Vehicle has been to a Chevrolet dealership for repair, although the issue still persists. I believe there is an electrical circuit issue with this vehicle, and there has been recalls on this model for exact reasons.

The truck was issued a recall for the engine blocker heater which was performed. Since that recall was performed I keep getting low coolant warnings on the dash in error. The vehicles was taken back to dealer and everything was checked. They refilled the system just incase there was an air pocket but they warned me about 4 out of 10 people that have the recall performed continually get a low coolant light. The truck was fine for 2 months and now I'm back to having the low coolant light on. The coolant level looks fine. I called the dealer and they said GM knows about it but no fix is available because throwing parts at it like a new reservoir tank and coolant sensor doesn't seem to fix the issue. We're being told to simply ignore the warning displayed on the dash for now. To me it is totally unacceptable that the "fix" for the engine clock heater recall has now created a secondary issue that has not been addressed. Since you have the database of vins that were part of the engine block heater recall I ask that you reach out to those people that have had the fix performed and find out how many are now having a low coolant issue as a result of that repair being made.

The engine surges when letting out of the pedal and coming to a stop. I have been told by the Chevy service department that they don't see it. The RPM's drop and pick back up 3-6 times with no foot on the pedal slowing down to a stop. It happens all the time. For them not to see a problem is ridiculous.

When vehicle is accelerating anywhere from 30-50 mph, the truck loses power for several seconds, and starts sputtering or chugging. The RPM on the dash starts bouncing up and down. This goes on for several seconds and truck slows down. It then goes away and can continue driving. However, when towing trailers, the effect is only increased and the truck slows down even more.
