Safety Issue:

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.

Potential Risk:

The intermittent connection could also lead to electrical arcing, which could generate sufficient heat to damage surrounding material, increasing the risk of a fire.
FREE Recall Solution:
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect for the presence of glue or other contamination at the B+ cable attachment to the alternator and clean the connection and reattach the B+ cable connection, as necessary.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

According to inspection by my local GMC dealership, the engine oil cooler lines leaked/detached, as a result the engine assembly needs to be completely redone. When driving on the highway the car began flashing to immediately pull over and turn the vehicle off, the engine became very hot and was smoking and oil was found all over the ground upon inspection after immediately stopping the vehicle. This vehicle has been inspected by the Carlsbad GMC/Buick Dealership. There were no warning messages prior to this event. The car has consistently received all recommended preventative maintenance and oil changes. As a consumer I am now on the hook for over $15,000 in repairs, after complying with all maintenance recommendations from the manufacturer. There is an active recall for an identical model and make as this car for the same issue, the recall number is: N212326940 (customer satisfaction program number) and DCS5833 (Global safety field investigations number). I am very confused as to why this recall has not been applied to my vehicle.

SUSPENSION

Potential Consequences:

At 50,000 miles the upper control arm/ball joint on the driver side came apart with no warning causing considerable damage to the suspension, tires, wheel, and front bumper. About two months before at approximately 48,000 miles the passenger side control arm/ball joint came apart again with no warning. Warranty has just elapse and GM has denied any responsibility and will not cover any of the repairs. This could have easily been catastrophic if we would have been on the freeway. This is a Safety issue! This truck has the aluminum upper control arms which my opinion for what its worth is the problem. I have no clue at this time how we are going to be able to fix this. Even when it is fixed we will never trust it.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Engine began having ticking noise. I took it to dealer for repair. Service department finds the lifters in my engine have failed and destroyed my cam shaft. They call me and explain it will cost $10,000 to repair. The service writer explains to me that they have 4 of these each week come into the shop. It is so common that they keep the parts in stock to repair. While I was waiting in the waiting room another person came in with the exact same problem. I later found that a repair bulletin has been issues for this issue but for some reason it does not apply to my vin even though it is the exact same problem.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While driving on the highway, I got a message that said "low oil pressure, turn off engine" with red flashing lights. I could also smell burning oil and metal. I immediately pulled over and turned off my engine. When I exited my truck, I could see all of the oil that remained in my engine leaking onto the ground. My truck was towed to a local repair shop and they advised me that this is a common problem in this truck. The oil line blew likely due to a defective crimp. The mechanics can't repair the problem right away because this line is on a national backorder and there is no aftermarket option. This obviously happens too often if this part is on backorder. The mechanics believe there may have been damage done to the engine as a result of losing all of the oil on the highway.

Potential Consequences:

The lifters were replaced leas that 2years under warranty at Pooler Chevrolet. They have stated this is a common problem with this vehicle and they had a lot of these vehicles come in with the same exact problem. Vehicle had no power, engine lights on and valve failure after being replaced before and the vehicle has less than 60,000 miles at 2nd failure. They stated the 1st repair has no warranty to cover such a catastrophic failure and I must pay out of pocket. I argued that it shouldn't have failed with less than. 60,000 miles any expectations of engine failure would be with massive miles and would be expected for some form.of major over haul. Caused emergency as i was in the middle of the interstate upon failure and I almost lost my life. I asked who was performing the repair and they won't answer the request about the repair. They stated it was sent out for repairs and not an in house repair. All repairs have been at GM certified center.
