2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500
Filed May 28, 2026
The truck kept going into limp mode and when taken to the dealership it was found to have metal in the fuel. According to the report from the dealership they stated that this indicated the injection pump had come apart internally and sent metal throughout the system. It has since been repaired at a high cost to myself. The generation of truck made before mine had a recall for the same thing and I feel that they have not fixed the problem or it wouldn't have happened to my truck. Seems like a…

2022 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500
Filed May 20, 2026
My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD High Country 6.6L Duramax engine has an exhaust leak that causes diesel exhaust to travel into the pickup's cab through the outside air vent and air conditioning system during the exhaust system's regeneration. This occurs when the regeneration occurs in city driving especially at low speeds, stop lights, stop signs, parking lots, etc. The pickup has been to the dealer to find and make necessary repairs twice and is currently at the dealer's shop for the third…
2022 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500
Filed May 19, 2026
My 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD 6.6 gas with 59K miles has been experiencing the shift to park problem associated with this and other Chevrolet/GM vehicles. When putting the car in park, the column shifter moves the transmission from drive to park but when you shut off the vehicle the Shift to Park warning comes on and prevents the car from completely shutting down. Apparently, this is due to a defective microswitch inside the steering column that GM is well aware of. There are literally…

Filed May 1, 2026
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 at an auction. The contact stated that although the odometer indicated 89,671 miles at the time of purchase, there was a mileage discrepancy discovered during the vehicle registration. The title was marked exempt; there was no official documentation verifying the actual mileage. The discrepancy was attributed to an inoperable odometer or due to the condition of the frame of the vehicle.
