2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engine

The engine lifter failed. The lifters collapsed on the highway. The inspection is available upon request. My husband was the driving on the highway and heard a tapping noise. All the engine lights came on and he pulled off to side of highway and was instructed not do drive the vehicle. The vehicle needed to be towed and was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and confirmed if was the lifters which needed to be replaced. There were no warning signs, no lamps, no lights prior to the failure to alert something was wrong. After paying for the repairs at the dealer in the amount of 5,441.18 and other expenses, we reached out to Chevrolet Customer Assistance asking for them to cover the cost of this repair. We did not have time to get an extended warranty since this vehicle is new. With a vehicle having 56,000 miles on it, it should not be having engine problems. Our argument and frustration is GM knew of this problem on this particular vehicle and did not request a recall and this model. They refused to give us a full refund and gave us 2,720.29. We appreciate the assistance, but after doing research on this problem, this is a common concern and many customers have had to have their lifters replaced. GM knows of this issue and did nothing to correct their mistake. I have never experienced engine problems on any of the vehicles I have owned for over 10 to 15years old.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled, and the gear shifter became inoperable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,564.

Vehicle exhibited a loud bang from the engine compartment followed by a ticking noise from the engine and loss of power while highway driving in a remote rural area. Check engine light did illuminate. Vehicle was subsequently towed and issue was diagnosed by an independent repair shop as a failure of an active fuel management valve lifter and was repaired. Approximately 10,000 miles later while also at speed on a congested highway the vehicle experienced a second failure 12 July 2023. No dash lights nor warning indicators were illuminated, though problem was indicated by severe loss of power and very rough idle. Issue was diagnosed by dealership as failure of #4 and #6 cylinder AFM lifters....which were replaced new following the first failure in summer 2022.

There is a specific serpentine belt that controls the AC and the water pump on this vehicle. That particular belt is 100% obsolete. The manufacturer has discontinued that part and since it is a stretch belt, it cannot be replicated by Gates or Continental until they get their hands on an unused and uninstalled belt. This has caused us to no longer be able to operate the vehicle and now we are upside down thousands of dollars because the vehicle is now a total loss and insurance wont cover it.

I drive a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500 lt 5.3 V8 Pickup. I currently have 86k miles on this vehicle. I am the second owner and lately have been experiencing loss of power, engine hesitation, poor fuel economy, and high oil consumption. I brought my truck to the dealer I purchased it from ( Koons Chevrolet of Tysons Corner VIRGINIA ) I brought the vehicle in for service because back in February I had the check engine light flash and the truck engine almost cutout (whilst traveling at high speeds )completely. This past week I was merging onto a highway and upon pressing the pedal to increase speed to merge safely the engine lost power completely for about 5 seconds and then magically regained power. During this i was almost side swiped and forced to drive on the shoulder almost crashing into the barrier wall. I had the info screen on my dashboard and was able to trace when this issue occurred. Upon switching from V4-V8 mode. Further research with a mechanic friend of mine revealed that Chevrolet has been using the same failing lifters since 2014 and it was a known issue, yet never recalled. How can I go about either fixing this issue or recuperating the sales price I paid for this faulty vehicle? I dont think it's right that the American tax payers bailed out general motors only for them to cut cost by way of reducing the quality of vehicles they were making... absolutely egregious. Please help. Sincerely, Unhappy Taxpayer

One random morning engine made funny noises. By time I left work engine light flashing and stability control wouldn’t turn off. Dropped it off to dealership told me it’s 4500 to fix one lifter that failed 7500 to fix all. They know it a problem that GM issues letter on what they recommend to fix, but no recall. My truck warranty expired on 10/2022 and incident happened on 01/2023 my truck had 32987 miles when dropped off after repair 32997 miles. If issue is know and class action in place why hasn’t GM issued a recall.

Loss of power and misfire. I was on I44 in Oklahoma with my 1 year old and couldn’t go over 45 MPH. The mechanic said it was a lifter failure and it ruined cam shaft. In all the total repairs were $3800.00. I’m just learning about this common problem and seen there was a class action lawsuit filed.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle would shake violently at times while driving at various speeds. The contact would pull over and restart the vehicle several times before the vehicle resumed normal functionality. The contact stated that the vehicle would be started and re-started intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that 4 fuel injectors had failed as well as the fuel pump. The fuel pump was replaced but not the fuel injectors. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the VIN was not under recall. The approximate failure mileage was 53,000.

In my truck it goes from V8 to V4 and I want it to stay in V8 all the time. Also, I have 5.3 engine, and cuz it goes into V4, that means that the back 2 lifters isn't getting enough oil, which can cause those lifters to lock up. I think those trucks that have that issue need to be recalled, cuz if the lifters lock up it can cause the engine to lock up and cause the truck to have an accident and possibly hurt a lot of people. Also, yes there are tuners you can buy to stop the V4 part, but who knows what they can mess up in the computer part.

At 45, 000 miles the check engine light came on with error code P025E Ventilation Regulator Valve Performance, which is a common issue. This valve can leak oil on the catalytic converter causing smoking.

THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CORD WAS RECALLED ON MY 2017 CHEVY DURAMAX DIESEL. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 21, 2019 FOR THE RECALL AND THE CORD WAS SIMPLY CUT OFF. AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NOT A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TODAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2019, TO CHECK ON THIS RECALL AS THE TEMPERATURE IN KANSAS IS BECOMING VERY COLD AND I AM NEEDING THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER. I SPOKE WITH SABRINA AND HER SUPERVISOR MICHAEL WHO BOTH INFORMED ME THE NEW ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CORD HAS BEEN RELEASED TO COLD WEATHER STATES, NOT KANSAS. THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET THE CORD FOR MY TRUCK WOULD BE TO DRIVE TO COLORADO, THE CLOSEST STATE TO KANSAS THAT THE CORD HAS BEEN RELEASED TO. COLORADO IS OVER 8 HOURS FROM ME, NOT TO MENTION THE TEMPERATURE IS CURRENTLY COLDER IN KANSAS THAN COLORADO. THIS IS JUST VERY FRUSTRATING, I PAID FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER ON MY TRUCK SO I CAN USE IT. I GOT NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN MAY OF 2019, NOW IT'S NOVEMBER WITH VERY COLD WEATHER AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.
