2017 Chevy Duramax 6.6L Turbo – Diesel V8 Engine Problems

Chevrolet , , , , , ,

A number of owners of the 2016-18 Chevrolet with the Duramax engine have been complaining about substandard performance, emission codes, and other engine problems.

Owners may be entitled to compensation or replacement vehicles.


1. Typical Complaints

I have an 2018 Chevy 2500HD with a Duramax L5P engine introduced in 2017. I’ve owned it for 19 days and it has been back to the dealer in and around their shop for 12 days. It is showing codes for malfunctioning emission system. The dealer thinks it is a faulty Diesel Particulant Filter and/or can not figure why it is plugging. These issues are not new with the L5P engine and have been around since mandated in 2011 with the then new LML engine. My question is just how wide spread are these issues. And my problem down the road is, if I trade the truck back should I get another and risk the same problems or just try to get my money back and wait for GM to get their act together.

Chevrolet Colorado Vibration

Chevrolet, Chevrolet Colorado Transmission, GM Silverado steering defect , , , , ,

2018 Chevrolet Colorado owners are complaining about shudder or vibration on their vehicles.   Dealers are suggesting transmission fluid change, torque converter replacement and other remedies. Owners who purchased vehicles with these problems may be entitled to refunds or new vehicles.

1. Complaints

I first experienced a shuddering that could make the beverage in my cup sitting in the cup holder on the right side of the transmission shifting lever form foam. Oh dang, but road repairs in some parts of Texas appear to be irregularly semi-scheduled in a non reoccurring manner on a random basis. My weekly trips along the same road were the only time I was noticing the shudder, so I just chalked it up to bumpy secondary country roads.. And then it happened!

Cruising down the interstate not on cruise control doing around 73 MPH on a flat straight section, I lightly accelerated to kick it up a bit to set the cruise control.. Foam forming in my beverage may have occurred, but I was too preoccupied attempting to see how many pine logs I had just run over to cause the worse jerking experienced yet. I once had a utility trailer built without any suspension using springs, or shocks.. Seeing it jump off the ground and come down with a bang was an experience, and that’s what it felt like this time.

The shuddering was soon occurring often and the speed didn’t seem to be the major factor, Just trying to lightly accelerate while cruising along in a higher gear seemed to be the cause  I searched the internet to see if this had been a reported problem or one subject to a Chevrolet recall when I happened upon this site. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading of the same problem occurring with others and was stimulated to finally contact my Chevy Dealer yesterday with only 2700 miles on my truck!

I made a trip to visit the Service Manager personally and was glad that I did. He was very knowledgeable of these situations and explained a sequential approach to effect a proper solution.. His plan of attack sounds very similar to what I have read aout so far.–Flush the transmission, check fluid flows, and probably replace the torque converter. If it checks out OK there, I’ll drive it for a few hundred miles to see if it was “fixed” or not. If NOT, a prescription for surgery and a transmission replacement may be necessitated

Shudder/Vibration easily felt in steering column about a week ago, has gotten worse and more often.  The tech who signed me in mentioned it may be the transmission fluid they’d used originally, (or the torque converter, which it ended up being). My concern is wondering what they used, why that could cause shudder, vibration, any “long term effects” for the transmission? www.carcomplaints.com/Chevrolet/Colorado/2018/

Vehicle Identification No. (VIN): 3GCUKREH4FG…

SUMMARY:

“The trucks have a vibration that is felt in the steering wheel, floor, seats, accelerator and brake pedals etc. while driving.  The major consensus is that the worst is 76 mph, yet it is felt to a lesser degree at any speed, with some being worse than others.  There are a large number of trucks with this issue, yet General Motors refuses to do anything about it.  It began within a couple weeks of purchasing my truck.  I found people first reporting the issue in 2015, and more recently it continues with the 2015 and 2016 model years.”

Vehicle Identification No. (VIN): 3GCUKTEC2FG…

SUMMARY:

“I purchased a brand new 2015 Silverado on 7/24/15 and at about 700 miles or so I noticed a bad vibration as the truck was in motion, took it back to the dealer cause I was very upset it being a $56,000.00 truck and all.  They wanted me to leave the truck overnight and did not offer any vehicle to drive so I did not leave it with them.  So I took the truck to Ratfield Tire and had the tires balanced, all 4 tires were out of balance, which I paid for out of pocket myself not GM…  This did not fix the problem of the severe vibration going down the road.  I then took the truck to another dealer for the vibration, they test drove it and confirmed the vibration, did a road force balance on all 4 wheels, then replaced all tires, this also has not fixed the problem, the truck is still vibrating, the entire seat just shakes, I am presently waiting on another appointment with dealer.  The service manager told me himself after replacing all 4 tires that it felt like a balance issue inside the motor which there is no fix, now that is crazy… I feel that this truck should be replaced or my money back entirely.  The truck only has a little over 2000 miles cause it makes me sick to drive it…”
