2012 chevy impala lt just quits starts right backup drivers#

I have had the truck at dealer service department 5 times with no resolution to the problem. If further accerate to force the truck back into v6 mode, the issue resolves itself but as soon as the truck switches back to v4 mode, the problems begins again immediately. At times the vibrations of this miss/shutter can be a bit violent. This occurs and on road type, any weather condition. When variable timing of vehicle shuts down two cylinders, switching truck from v6 to v4 with rpm's at or below 1,500k, the truck begins to miss/shutter. Please contact me for any details or questions, I desperately need help on this. They have refused to read or reply to my documented request for help. Gm replied that they will only work by telephone they ask to record the call but will not allow the customer to do the same. I sent an e mail request to gm documenting this issue. I feel that gm is using me as a crash test dummy. The dealership has opened a case with gm, and gm has recommended many things, all at my cost that have not resolved the safety problem. We have taken the truck back to the dealership 3 additional times now for this issue. We took the truck to a Chevrolet dealership for the recall # 17276 for low voltage steering. This is life threatening when making a turn across oncoming traffic lanes. When the steering wheel is turned quickly, the steering is extremely stiff, the headlights dim, and the engine shuts off. Our vehicle has an extremely dangerous safety problem. The last time the truck shut down on me was 9-19-2018 and the truck did not start right away and my 4-way flashers did not work while I was stranded in the intersection. I have taken my truck to 2 different Chevrolet dealers for this dangerous problem but they have not been able to find the problem. Also while traveling at high rate of speed (70-80 mph) on highway the stabilatrak error would appear when I put turn signal on to change lanes but truck has not yet shut down under that condition.

After I get truck started there are numerous error codes in the display: open and close drivers side window, stabilatrak, steering wheel assist, stabilatrak reduce speed b/c of steering assist, 2 keys programmed. Luckily I haven't been hit by another vehicle while trying to restart my truck in the middle of the intersection. The engine shuts down and all electrical is lost. While slowing down to make a turn, usually always using turn signal, my truck will completely shut down in the middle of the intersection with no warning. I have called the dealer ship to see if there was any know knowledge of this happening to other people or any service bulletins out there relating to this issue but have not received a call back yet.Īll problems of the 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 I bought this vehicle used from a car dealership 2 months ago with 47,000 miles on it and this incident happened at the 50,000 mile mark. There are also more reports of this happening on various forms around the internet but have not been reported to the NHTSA.

That means there are now 3 complaints out of 10 relating to this very problem under the category of engine for this trucks year make and model. I believe this is not an uncommon problem as there are at least 2 other reports of this happening in the NHTSA data base with this particular trucks year, make and model. No dash lights came on and I still had power steering indicating the key was still in the on position. I was able to put the vehicle into neutral and start it again to drive off. Luckily I had a enough momentum to clear the intersection and not get t-boned. I made a turn at an intersection going 0mph to 10mph (low speed) and the engine shut down.
