General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The battery positive (B+) cable rings may have been manufactured with excessive glue, potentially causing an intermittent electrical connection between the B+ cable and alternator.

Power train, Vehicle speed control, Oct 12, 2020
THE TRUCK HAS ~3000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING THE TRUCK AT HIGHWAY SPEED (65 MPH), A WARNING CAME ON THE DASH "ENGINE POWER REDUCED", FOLLOWED BY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THEN THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM THE THROTTLE/GAS PEDAL. THE ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT NO POWER WAS AVAILABLE WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF OF THE HIGHWAY; HOWEVER, IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED CROSSING TRAFFIC OR ON A BUSY HIGHWAY, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. I WAS SURPRISED AND SHOCKED TO SEE A NEW TRUCK PROVIDE ZERO POWER FROM THE GAS PEDAL. THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT RISK TO CONSUMERS, DRIVERS, AND OTHER CARS ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I PUT THE TRUCK ON A CODE READER, I RECEIVED THE CODE P26C0. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES WITH THE 3.0 DURAMAX DIESEL.

I HAVE A 2020 SILVERADO 1500 LT TRAIL BOSS WITH JUST OVER 5000 MILES ON IT WITH ONE PREVIOUS RECALL WHICH WAS COMPLETED. ON THIS OCCASION I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT ROUGHLY 65MPH WHEN ALERT SOUNDS CAME ON FOLLOWED BY A MESSAGE ON THE CLUSTER SAYING TO SHIFT THE VEHICLE TO NEUTRAL AND PUSH START BUTTON. I DID THAT AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE. I WAS IN THE FAST LANE AND DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH SPEED TO GET TO SHOULDER SO I PULLED TO CENTER TURN LANE OF HIGHWAY TO STOP. I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES OVER 5-10 MINUTES WITH NO RESPONSE. CLUSTER GAUGES WOULD CYCLE LIKE WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED, BUT IT DID NOT ENGAGE THE STARTER. I ALSO TRIED TO REMOTE START FROM KEY FOB WITH SAME RESPONSE. THERE WAS TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED IN OPPOSING DIRECTION ON EITHER SIDE SO IT WAS UNSAFE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. I USED ONSTAR TO GET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE AND ABOUT 15 MIN LATER POLICE SHOWED UP TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. ONSTAR SAID IT WOULD BE CLOSE TO AN HOUR FOR A TOW, BUT POLICE GOT ME ONE ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER. LUCKILY TEXAS COPS ARE PRETTY COOL SO WE JUST HUNG OUT UNTIL TOW TRUCK ARRIVED.

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE WHEN ITS DARK THE BACK UP CAMERA COMES ON THE RADIO SCREEN. WHEN DOING SO THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE SCREEN CAUSES THE INABILITY FOR MY EYES TO ADJUST TIMELY. THIS BRIGHTNESS ALSO CAUSES MY INABILITY TO SAFELY USE MY SIDE MIRRORS BECAUSE OF THIS BLINDING EFFECT. THERE IS NO WAY TO DIM NOR TURN OFF THIS FEATURE. THIS HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS SINCE DELIVERY AND I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR OTHER SOFTWARE UPDATES AND RECALLS. THIS STILL HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED AND IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN.

THE TRUCK IS NEW WITH 700 MILES. SEPTEMBER 26TH 2020 I CAME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT.AS I TOOK OFF THE TRUCK STARTED TO JERK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE IT HOME. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME WHILE IN MOTION THE TRUCK WOULD JERK WHEN IT WAS CHANGING GEARS. I RECEIVED A TEXT FROM GM THAT SAID TO HAVE THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION SERVICED WITHIN 7 DAYS. I DID NOT DRIVE IT UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO TAKE IT TO CHEVY. SEPTEMBER 28TH 2020 ON THE WAY THERE THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME THING. ON SEPTEMBER 30TH 2020 THE CHEVY TECHNICIAN SAID THE TRUCK WAS READY HE SAID THE PROBLEM WAS A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE THAT WAS NOT PLACED CORRECTLY. I PICKED THE TRUCK UP OCTOBER 1ST 2020 AND DROVE IT STRAIGHT HOME JUST FINE. OCTOBER 2ND IN THE MORNING DRIVING TO WORK THE TRUCK STARTED TO JERK AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I RECEIVED ANOTHER TEXT FROM GM SAYING TO HAVE THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION SERVICED WITHIN 7 DAYS. ON THE WAY TO CHEVY I HAD TO STOP AT A LIGHT WHEN THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN THE TRUCK DID NOT WANT TO TAKE OFF AND STARTED TO ROLL BACK AND I ALMOST HIT A VEHICLE. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK TURNED IT OFF RESTARTED IT THEN SAFELY DROVE IT TO CHEVY. TODAY IS OCTOBER 4TH AND I HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHEVY I DID NOT BELIEVE THAT A TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WOULD BE PLACED INCORRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY I BELIEVE THIS TRUCK HAS SOME KIND OF DEFECT AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL CHEVY FIGURES OUT THE PROBLEM.

AFTER PARKING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR STARTED THE TRUCK AND GOT WARNINGS FOR SERVICE ESC AND SERVICE POWER STEERING, DRIVE WITH CAUTION. TURNED ENGINE OFF AND ON A FEW TIMES, NO CHANGE. CALLED ONSTAR, THEY SAID THEY COULD SEND ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I CHOSE NOT TO GET THE SERVICE AS WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE DOWN A SINGLE TRACK DIRT ROAD. DROVE HOME WITH NO POWER STEERING, TRACTION WARNING LIGHT ON THE WHOLE WAY. TURNED ENGINE OFF THEN ON AGAIN AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. IT LOOKS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN SERVICE BULLETINS/RECALLS FOR SIMILAR ISSUES BUT NOTHING ACTIVE ON MY TRUCK WITH 2100 MILES. SOFTWARE/SENSOR PROBLEMS LIKE THIS CAN LEAD TO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS.

I FEAR THAT AS A RESULT, BODILY INJURY COULD RESULT TO SOMEONE ELSE.

WHEN I STOP SLOWLY THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTS TO MAKE A NOISE AND STARTS TO SHAKE. YOU CAN LITERALLY FEEL YOUR FOOT SHAKING WHEN STOPPING SLOWLY. IT DOES NOT MAKE IT EVERY TIME BUT WHEN IT DOES IT MAKES IT LIKE 4 TIMES. I FIRST NOTICED THIS WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP THEN IT STARTED DOING IT ON THE CITY STREET. IT DOES IT WHEN YOU ARE MAKING A STOP BUT HAVENT STOPPED COMPLETELY BECAUSE WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP IT STOPS DOING IT.
