2009 Chevrolet truck began to reduce power and check the engine light came on and started surging. The consumer stated it seemed at times, the vehicle was going to stall, but instead it would surge up to 30 mph. It jerked, then it would go. The check engine light went out. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the foot pedal application sensor was replaced. On January 3, 2014, while driving on the freeway, the check engine light illuminated again and power to the vehicle, was significantly reduced, the check engine light went out again. The dealer found high resistance in the application sensor circuits and replaced a faulty sensor circuit.

Silverado 1500 Hybrid 8-cyl

  • 39,000 miles
Excessive oil consumption at or above 1 quart of oil per 1,000 miles. All plugs fouled out at 39,000 miles and one plug cracked. I change oil every 3,500 miles and regularly top off oil. There is no leaking oil but it is somehow vaporizing rapidly. There was no reason for the vehicle to fail like this at this stage in its life. Chevy has come to state in a bulletin concerning a tweak to the valve covers to keep the oil from vaporizing. Chevy has even more recently come out with a recall as of 1/17/2012 to announce there is a legitimate issue with the oil consumption on this model Chevy. This is unacceptable and GM should pay for any current damage to the truck, worn parts and all.
