2013 Chevrolet Silverado

THE 2013 SILVERADO TRUCK I OWN HAS A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO HIM. THIS IS CAUSING CONCERN TO ME THAT THE TRUCK MAY BE A FIRE HAZARD SINCE THE EXHAUST GETS SO HOT THAT IT POPS LOUDLY AS IT COOLS OFF. OTHER TRUCKS DO NOT MAKE THIS MUCH NOISE IF ANY. I AM GETTING MORE AFRAID THAT THE TRUCK MAY CATCH ON FIRE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS SINCE JAN. 2014 TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AS OF TODAY, OCT. 13, THERE IS STILL ISSUES WITH THE EXHAUST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIMMING INTERMITTENTLY WHENEVER SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS BEING OPERATED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE WINDOW WAS BEING OPENED AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMED DOWN INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED FIRMLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

ON THE WAY TO WORK ON MONDAY MORNING, SEPT 1ST, 2014 AS MY HUSBAND APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT HE NOTICED THE VEHICLE AT THE LIGHT BACKUP LIGHTS COME ON. HE THOUGHT THEY MAY HAVE PULLED TOO FAR UP UNDER THE STOP LIGHT AND WERE JUST GOING TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT SO HE APPLIED HIS BRAKES. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO PUSH THE GAS AND SLAM IN TO THE FRONT OF MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK THEN DRIVE OFF. MY HUSBAND PROCEEDED TO THE NEARBY PILOT FUEL STOP LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS THERE THEN CALLED THE POLICE TO FILE A REPORT. AFTER THAT HE WENT ON TO WORK A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WORKED HIS SHIFT, STOPPED AND PUT A LITTLE GAS IN HIS TRUCK AND DROVE THE 9 MILES HOME. PARKED IN THE DRIVE WENT IN THE HOUSE AND CAME BACK OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER THERE WAS SMOKE THEN FIRE COMING FROM AROUND THE FRONT TIRE OF THE TRUCK. IT SOON BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES DESPITE THE EFFORTS OF THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE RPM'S RACE WHILE SHIFTING. VEHICLE ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING FROM 1-2. EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONLY SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME SHIFTING AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE HOWEVER, AS THE TRUCK GETS MORE MILES ON IT, THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MORE OFTEN AND WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOPS WHEN HOT. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE TECH COULDN'T VERIFY IT, THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. DEALER SAID I HAVE A GOOD POWERTRAIN WARRANTY SO IF SOMETHING BREAKS LATER I SHOULD BE COVERED. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNPROFESSIONAL AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY LITERALLY DID NOTHING TO ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE OR CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. THERE SEEMS TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE RELATED TO RPM RACING COMPLAINTS. *TR

WE HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR TRUCK. I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE DATES SO I AM STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT AND WILL WORK BACK. ON 7/17/14 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY TRUCK LOCKED UP ON ME AND THE TRUCK WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I COULD NO LONGER STEER. HAD I NOT BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER BY 2 SEMIS WHO THEN HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO AVOID HITTING ME. ONE TOOK THE TURN LANE WHILE THE OTHER ALMOST RAN A CAR OFF THE ROAD TO GET AROUND ME. EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE TRUCK WAS STILL WORKING, LIGHTS, AC, RADIO, WINDOWS, EVERYTHING, JUST NOT STEERING. ONE TIME I TURNED ON MY TRUCK AND COULD NOT SWITCH THROUGH THE GEARS SO THAT I COULD DRIVE AND THE DASH HAD NO INFORMATION ON IT (NO COMPASS, TEMP READING, MILEAGE). IT WOULD MOVE THROUGH THE GEARS BUT IT WOULDN'T DRIVE. I HAD TO TURN MY TRUCK ON AND OFF 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD DRIVE. OUR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER AUTO ROLLS DOWN, OUR BUMPER IS FALLING APART AND WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DRIVERS DOOR LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS, AND OUR DOOR LOCKS WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT DISENGAGE SO WHEN WE GO TO SHUT THE DOOR IT JUST BOUNCES OF THE LATCH. THIS HAS CAUSED ONE OF OUR DOORS TO COME OFF THE HINGES AND ALMOST FALL OFF OUR TRUCK. WE HAVE HAD ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS REPLACED AND THEY ARE STILL DOING IT. *TR
