2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Electrical System

TCM failed. Vehicle is at the dealership awaiting new part for over three months now. Continue to get extended ETA on the part, latest communication was maybe November before it ships. Last vehicle dealership had took a year for the replacement TCM Vehicle immediately went into ‘limp mode’ on highway, was very unsafe because could only go 20-25mph. Confirmed by dealer upon them working on pickup it was the TCM. They, as well as we researched, and found stated that this is widespread problem in 2011-2016 year Duramaxes. We were left vehicleless. We tow trailers for our business and fifth wheel camper for personal use. Very detrimental to our livelihood.

Transmission Control Module Failed on the highway while towing and left me and family in a dangerous situation.

ON OCTOBER 21, 2014 THE ENTIRE FUSE PANEL MELTED DOWN AND CAUGHT FIRE. THE TRUCK HAD STOPPED RUNNING. THE HOOD WAS ABLE TO BE RAISED AND THE FIRE WAS PUT OUT WITH FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. GM HAS TAKEN NO RESPONSIBILITY IN THE REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE. MY INSURANCE COMPANY HAS AGREED TO PAY THE REPAIR BILL. THE CLAIM 048186-GB HAS BEEN SENT TO GM FOR REPAYMENT. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT BY GM. THERE IS ALSO A SAFETY RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS VEHICLE #14515 WHICH I BELIEVE IS DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE INCIDENT THAT HAPPENED TO MY TRUCK. TO THIS DAY THE TRUCK IS STILL AT THE REPAIR SHOP WAITING ON PARTS. *TR
