CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2012 car safety problem was reported on Mar 06, 2012.CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2012, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES . SAFETY CONCERN- POTENTIAL TRAILERING ACCIDENT!!! IT APPEARS THAT CHEVROLET/GM HAS CHANGED THE WIRING IN THEIR VEHICLES SO THAT ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLERS NO LONGER ILLUMINATE THE TRAILER BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN THE ELECTRIC BRAKE CONTROLLER IS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE VEHICLE BRAKES. ALL BRAKE LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE FOOT BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT NO BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE CONTROLLER OVERIDE IS APPLIED TO OPERATE THE TRAILER BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN TRAILERING THAT ONE ONLY WISHES TO USE THE TRAILER BRAKES TO SETTLE DOWN SWAYING OR ON LONG DOWN HILL GRADES. 2012 VEHICLES ARE NOT WIRED SO THAT BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO WORK OFF THE CONTROLLER OVERRIDE SWITCH. I HAVE BEEN TOWING FOR OVER 26 YEARS AND BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE ALWAYS WORKED BOTH ON THE FOOT BRAKE AND CONTROLLER OVERRIDE BRAKE SWITCH. THIS IS A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF ONE APPLIES THE TRAILER BRAKES ALONE WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATING, THIS COULD CAUSE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO SLAM INTO THE BACK OF THE TRAILER AND TOW VEHICLE CAUSING A CRASH. CHEVROLET STATES THEY CANNOT CONNECT THE TRAILER CONTROLLERS TO OPERATE THE BRAKE LIGHTS AS IT WOULD BACK FEED POWER INTO THE ELECTRONICS OF THE VEHICLE VOIDING ANY WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. TRAILER BRAKES LIGHTS ONLY WORK AS CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE WIRING WHEN STEPPING ON THE FOOT BRAKE. *KB.Chevrolet Silverado 2012 problem was reported in ENFIELD, CT. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2012 car safety problem was reported on Apr 22, 2012.CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2012, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS LLC had a problem with FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM . I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MY NEW 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT (5.3 LITER ENGINE) GOING INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE" WHICH ALSO RESULTS IN THE DISABLING OF STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION IN THAT IT RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE UPON THE ROADWAY. AN AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITY HAS REPLACED THE NUMBER ONE AND TWO THROTTLE SENSORS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY, THE THROTTLE BODY, THE ALTERNATOR, THE COMPUTER, AND A LARGE GROUND WIRE BEHIND THE DASH. A GM ENGINEER WAS FLOWN IN AND NOW THE REPAIR CENTER IS REPLACING THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AGO) HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS. IN RESEARCHING THIS MATTER I HAVE FOUND THAT CHEVY HAS HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS IN VARIOUS VEHICLES IN ITS PRODUCT LINE SINCE 2003. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A CONSENSUS REGARDING THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ALL OF THE PARTS ASSOCIATED WITH TROUBLE CODES C0242, P2127, AND P2138 HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITHOUT RESULT.

CHEVROLET SILVERADO Engine

CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2012 Safety Review #10566536

CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2012 car safety problem was reported on June 14, 2013.CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2012, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ENGINE . EFM ISSUE: LIFE-TIME CHEVY SILVERADO OWNER, CURRENTLY OWN 2003 & 2012 1500 SILVERADO 1/2 TONS. EVER SINCE GM STARTED USING EFM CHIPS, FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE ENGINE WILL LOSE SEVERAL QUARTS OF OIL FOR NO REASON. WITHOUT WARNING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. PULL-OVER & CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. ON EVERY OCCASION, (SEVERAL INCIDENTS NOW), MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE OIL LEVEL BARELY REGISTERS ON THE DIP STICK. WHERE DID 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL GO? YESTERDAY THE OIL LEVEL WAS FULL, TODAY THE OIL LEVEL IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT - WITHOUT A DROP OF OIL LEAKING ANYWHERE? I NOW HAVE TO CARRY 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO JUST IN CASE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL. WARNING: IF YOU DRIVE A CHEVY YOU BETTER KEEP 4 QUARTS OF OIL WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS TO YOU. NOT IMMEDIATELY PULLING-OVER & FILLING THE OIL LEVEL BACK TO PROPER LEVEL MAY DESTROY YOUR ENGINE. FIX THIS EFM ISSUE > LOSS OF OIL, AS IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND STILL PERSISTS AFTER 2 COMPLETE MODEL CHANGEOVERS. THIS MAJOR MALFUNCTION IS THE RESULT OF THE EFM SYSTEM DUMPING THE OIL INTO THE EXHAUST & THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BURNING IT AWAY. THAT IS THE ONLY PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR LOSING SO MUCH OIL WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT A DROP OF OIL BEING FOUND ANYWHERE OUTSIDE THE ENGINE OR UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR CHASSIS..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 8000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):3GCPKTE37BG. Chevrolet Silverado 2012 problem was reported in DRYDEN, MI. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.
