Once again this truck has the stabilitrac light oand the engine light on. It is running EXTREMELY rough. Gas mileage is HORRIBLE. It's using extreme amounts of oil. And it is lurching forward at random times when I stop with my foot on the brake. THIS NEEDS TO GET FIXED!!!!! Why can't GM own up to it's problems and fix them? I've spent a thousands on two different Chevrolet trucks since 2014...so much that I spent ALL my savings repairing my vehicles that I have zero in savings now. Pretty pathetic that a school teacher has to work two jobs to pay for keep a vehicle running that should run fine. I've read complaints of this same problem from MANY PEOPLE dating back years. FIX MY TRUCK!!?
Stabilitrac light and engine light came on while driving and was running extremely rough. This is the third time this has happened since I bought the truck in Oct. 2018. Chevrolet trucks are causing me to lose confidence in GM products. This is ridiculous. I'm a single woman who is a school teacher and I can't keep calling in because of a broken down vehicle or having to keep paying mechanics. This truck has been in the shop 4times already since Jan 2019.
The stabilitrac light comes on, then the check engine light and it was running extremely rough and terrible gas mileage. This started suddenly driving down the road. I took it to the mechanic to fix but it had stopped so no fix. I have only this vehicle so I need a reliable vehicle to get to work and to pull my horse trailer.
Have owned GM products since 1970. It now comes to an end. Guess they got their money out of me. We are talking about a 2011 rear wheel drive 5.3L Silverado. On return trip from Fl. engine died, jerked, vibrated as I was pulling into my last stop on the trip. Being only 4 miles from where I bought it, took it there the next day. Service guys informed me they have seen this problem before and just to finish your trip. It was fine until I got it home. Bad news....lifters on the left side of the engine made a huge racket. This is the 4 to 8 cylinder engine and the oil manifold was loose and no oil was getting to the lifters. $1980 later I have a truck that isn't making any noise but am concerned about the right side of the engine now. Corporate did not want to do anything as it was out of warranty. I have since seen this same problem reported by many other Silverado owners.
Also, I owned a GMC Safari in the past and that engine lost all its oil. Where did go? No one could tell me. That required a rebuilt engine. No help from GMC on that one either. Just out of warranty.
So, done with GM products...and I was seriously looking at their new Colorado. Too bad...not biting.
I understand Ford is coming back with their Ranger. Looking to down size from a full pickup. Maybe Ford.
