2014 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

The system that failed was the CP4.2. The Cp4 is a defect that has failed; in the failure it has been ground down and it pushed metal shavings through the fuel system and it has also clogged the injectors. The failure of this system left me in a hazardous position in the middle of the highway. I could not turn or break because there was no power to my vehicle because it was not getting any fuel.

Cp4 failure, left me stranded and cost me 11k in repairs. 69k miles on truck 6,427.40$ for the Bosh disaster kit. Plus additional fluids, gaskets, ect that are not included. And 3900$ in labor. This cost me little under 11k. I have full invoice at total performance diesel at 300 west robles ave, Santa Rosa. This really affects my life. And it’s a common thing for the cp4 pump. 7,500$ deposit and 2,698.38$ was my final payment.

WHILE DRIVING FROM MICHIGAN INTO NEW YORK TO DELIVER AN RV TO A DEALERSHIP MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED A FUEL DEFICIENCY AND STALLED WHILE TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY. I FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS THE FUEL FILTER BUT THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND IN TOWING IT INTO A SERVICE SHOP THEY DETERMINED THE BOSCH CP4 FUEL PUMP HAD QUIT DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS WHICH RESULTED IN THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM NEEDING TO BE REPLACED. THIS COST ME OVER $15,000. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS PUMP IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE FUEL IN THE UNITED STATES AND THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILED IN TEXAS. IT IS ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GM TRIED TO HAVE THE CASE DISMISSED BUT THE TEXAS JUDGE DID NOT ALLOW FOR A DISMISSAL. I HAVE SEVERAL COPIES OF REPAIR AND TRAVEL EXPENSES RELATED TO THIS ISSUE AS WELL AS LOST INCOME AS I USE MY TRUCK FOR DELIVERIES. I WILL PROVIDE COPIES OF THESE WHEN NECESSARY AS MY SCANNER IS NOT CURRENTLY WORKING. THIS ISSUE SHOULD DEFINITELY BE CONSIDERED AS A RECALL ISSUE AS THIS IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR NOT TO MENTION THE DANGER OF THE FUEL SYSTEM QUITTING UNEXPECTEDLY.

FUEL INJECTION PUMP NAME APART INTERNALLY CRACKING CASE SPRAYING FUEL ON HOT ENGINE WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD, ALSO SENDING METAL PIECES THROUGH FUEL SYSTEM TO INJECTORS MAKING THEM USELESS AND NEEDING REPLACED. THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP IS LOCATED ON TOP OF BLOCK IN FRONT OF TURBO WHICH GETS EXTREMELY HOT, LUCKILY DIDN'T CATCH FIRE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GRAVEL GUARD AROUND THE FUEL TANK WAS ON FIRE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE BY POURING WATER ON THE FLAMES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,030.
