TPS throttle position system. I-??ve had issues since 2013 to present time. The car accelerates and decelerates on its own. I have replaced more than once car is not safe to drive. Need help asap
After a day of using the vehicle in rainy conditions I tried to start it up and it would crank but not start and brake lights wouldn't not work when pressed with the key off the truck was stationary and had error codes and cel for fpfcm circuit failure. This issue was a recall for my make and model but my VIN was excluded possibly negligently. Since the event I additionally have dic messages to check the air bags and check brakes
My vehicle has an oil consumption issue, like many of the 07-08 models. We have taken it to 2 dealerships, and they request that we replace the cam and lifters. We have been told by 2 different Chevrolet dealerships that this is a bad design by Chevy, and they see it all the time with this year. They also stated that they would not even sell our vehicle on their lot if we traded it in. I live in a small town, and I know 4 people who had this same issue, and had to buy new vehicles because Chevy did not offer a solution. The repairs cost approximately $5000. Our only option is to trade it in or pay the repairs out of pocket. This is a bad design by Chevy, and a safety issue. We cannot drive our vehicle at this time. When the issue began in October of 2016 we were driving down the highway and it started making a knocking noise. We took the vehicle to a Chevy dealership in foley Alabama, (southern Chevrolet) and were told by them it is a bad design, and they have seen many trucks with the same issue. They diagnosed and gave us the option of replacing the cam and lifters for $5000. We did not do this at the time, and took it to another mechanic who stated he had seen this issue multiple times himself. He gave us a temporary fix, and we drove the vehicle home. We took it to our local Chevy dealership who told us the exact same thing.
This started as I was driving down interstate at 65 mph. Suddenly my traction control light on dash came on along with blinking check engine light. Also read stabilitrak off and service traction control in readout below. Immediately my truck lost power and decelerated so I immediately pulled off road as to not get ran over by traffic. Read manual said to turn off and restart. Did this and all was good for another mile then happened again on and off for last 12 miles before I could get home. Upon taking it to dealership today they came back saying nothing about these codes but that there was a misfire code and oil low?? so now I have got an oil change and fuel system cleaning. Upon asking about the initial problem I was told to drive it to see if it happens again. This is a major issue with apparently the whole truck platform at GM. This problem is posted all over internet with cars even shutting off and brakes locking up and the big problem is no dealership knows how to fix it. Charge people a bunch of money to fix numerous things they know will not fix issue. This should be a major recall on 2007- at least 2010 from what I can see from data that is out there. I will be selling my truck after this because I do not feel safe driving my kids in it. I'm die hard Chevy guy who has a 2003 Suburban with 400000+ miles on it with very little issues in all these years. Please make GM fix this problem.
