The transmission control module shut down in the process of me driving. I could not even move my truck out of the highway. Had to have it towed. General Motors isn’t even producing this part even though thousands of people are having this same problem with trucks made from 2009 through 2015. This problem could prove to be deadly if the module goes out in heavy traffic.

The plastic dash on my vehicle is cracking majorly. There is nothing GM is doing to fix this issue. However, if the cracking continues to get worse it could cause harm me the driver and passengers in the vehicle. GM should have to submit the formula in which was used to create this plastic dash because it is cracking from the sun.

SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 29400 DIESEL EMISSION FLUID TANK RESERVOIR WAS CREATED. NHTSA ID NUMBER:10135147 SPECIAL COVERAGE EXTENDS TO 2013 SILVERADO 3500 MODEL, BUT NOT 2013 SILVERADO 2500 PER THE DEALER. I OWN THE 2500 WHICH IS CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM OBD ERROR CODE P20B9. SAME CODE APPLIES TO 3500 FROM WHAT I'VE READ. THIS ERROR OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DASH THAT I HAD 100 MILES BEFORE LIMITED POWER AND SPEED WOULD BE APPLIED. FORTUNATELY I WAS 40 MILES FROM HOME. BOTH TRUCKS ARE THE SAME OTHER THAN THE 3500 HAS DUAL WHEELS ("DULLY") AND LARGER REAR AXELS FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER. OTHER SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE DIESEL-EMISSION-REDUCTION FLUID SYSTEM (DEF). BOTH MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME SYSTEM INCLUDING THE TANK RESERVOIR AND COMPONENTS. IN FACT WHEN YOU ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS ISSUE, INCREASED DEF TANK-HEATER RESISTANCE, THE PART BEING REPLACED IS THE SAME BE IT A 3500 OR 2500. CURIOUS WHY THE 3500 MODEL IS COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE AND THE 2500 IS NOT? WHY 2013 2500 NOT ON LIST OF (14) PRODUCTS, IF IT'S THE SAME AS 2013 3500 WHEN BOTH MODELS: -GET THE SAME OBD CODE: P20B9 - REPLACEMENT PART (23379348) FOR 2500 PER DEALER IS FOUND ON THE NHTSA'S SPECIAL COVERAGE LIST - REPLACEMENT PART PER DEALER (23379348) IS THE SAME FOR 3500 AND 2500 PER GM SITE AND ROCKAUTO.COM THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, FIDEL

BY DESIGN THIS TRUCK WILL TURN OFF MY TRAILER BRAKES WHEN THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH ANYTHING ASSOCIATED WITH THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVE HAD TWO NEAR MISSES, CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENTS IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS AS A RESULT OF THIS CONDITION. I LOAD THIS MACHINE UP TO ITS MAXIMUM TRAILER CARRYING CAPACITY ON A DAILY BASIS. THIS MACHINE IS OPERATED IN THE MOUNTAINS OFTEN. THE 2 NEAR MISSES WERE AS DESCRIBED HERE. 1ST: I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN WITH A HIGHWAY CROSS ROAD. CROSS TRAFFIC DID NOT HAVE TO STOP. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AND I HEARD A TONE ACTIVATE THEN THE DIC INDICATED ABS NEEDS SERVICE, STABLI-TRAK NEEDS SERVICE, SERVICE THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING BECAUSE AT THIS POINT MY TRAILER BRAKES WERE TURNED OFF BY THE TRUCK ON A FULLY LOADED TRAILER. I COULD NOT STOP AT THIS INTERSECTION. 2ND: I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE TOWARDS A RED STOPLIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND RECEIVED THE SAME WARNINGS AND THE TRUCK TURNED OFF THE TRAILER BRAKES ON A FULLY LOADED TRAILER AGAIN. THIS TIME I HAD A SEMI TRUCK COMING FROM THE RIGHT. THEY HAD TO PERFORM AN EMERGENCY STOP TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH ME AS I TRAVELED THROUGH THE RED LIGHT. THIS SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
