2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Engine

UPON STARTUP, MY TRUCK'S CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CAR WAS RESTARTED AND THE LIGHT DID NOT CLEAR. CAR WAS TAKEN TO DEALER AT 10,383 MILES. THEY CHECKED THE CODES AND RECEIVED A HARD CODE P0420 BANK 1, CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILURE. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND THE CODES CLEARED OUT. MAINLY REPORTING THIS BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS FOUR AND A HALF MONTHS OLD AND HAS 10,383 MILES UPON FAILURE. CATALYTIC CONVERTERS SHOULD LAST LONGER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH WHEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE MALFUNCTION LIGHT CAME ON AND SHORTLY AFTER BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING ROUGH LIKE A FOULED OUT PLUG, SO I WAS CLOSE TO MY HOME BUT BEFORE I GOT THERE THE TRUCK WAS RUNNING EVEN ROUGHER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD ALSO. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE IT HAVE IT TOWED VIA CHEVYS 2 YEAR ROAD ASSISTANCE, SO I CALLED AND AFTER WAITING AND CALLING BACK 5 TIMES I CALLED MY OWN TOW SERVICE AND GOT IT INTO THE DEALER. THEY SAID A CODE FOR ENGINE MISFIRE CYLINDER # 5 AND REPLACED BAD WIRE WITH A NEW ONE. ON MY TICKET IT SAYS BULLETIN PIP5159. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME USUALLY THESE PLUG WIRES HAD BEEN FAILING ON TRUCKS WITH LESS MILES THEN MINE. SO I ASKED IF THE OTHER WIRES COULD FAIL AND HE SAID YES-SO BE AWARE AND READY FOR MORE TO FAIL. *TR

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1 WEEK AGO TODAY. THE VEHICLE WAS DELIVERED 2 DAYS AGO. THE CHEVROLET DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME OF THE RECALL FOR POSSIBLE ENGINE FIRE. I CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER ONLINE AND IT SHOWS THAT MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND IT STILL HAS A WARNING FOR NOT BEING SERVICED AS PER CHEVROLET AND NHTSA WEBSITES. BASICALLY, THE CHEVROLET DEALER SOLD ME A NEW VEHICLE ON RECALL AGAINST THE COMPANY POLICY, DOCUMENT DCS3115 (NOTICE TO DEALERS), AS POSTED ON THIS WEBSITE . THE DEALER DID NOT INFORM ME IF THERE WAS ANY REPROGRAMMING DONE AS REQUIRED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I CALLED THE GENERAL SALES MANAGER WHO KNOWS MY VEHICLE TODAY AND HE DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE RECALL AT ALL AND STATED HE GET BACK TO ME . ACCORDING TO GM CUSTOMER CARE AND AFTERSALES ON YOUR WEBSITE , ALL CHEVROLET AND GM DEALERS WERE SENT AND URGENT STOP DELIVERY ORDER ON JANUARY 10, 2014 ADDRESSED TO THE DEALER, GENERAL MANGERS, NEW VEHICLE SALES MANAGERS AND SERVICE MANAGERS TO STOP DELIVERY OF THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND TO REPROGRAM THEM PRIOR TO SALES. IN THE MEAN TIME I AM STUCK WITH THIS VEHICLE AND DO NOT KNOW WHETHER IT WAS SERVICED OR WHETHER IT IS AT RISK OF CATCHING FIRE. THIS HAS SHOWN LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN CHEVROLET AND ITS LOCAL DEALER IN COMMUNICATION, TRUST, AND CONFIDENCE. IT HAS PLACED ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. IT HAS VIOLATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY OF DISCLOSURE TO THE CUSTOMER AND HAS BEEN NEGLIGENT IN ITS POLICIES AND PROTOCOL IN THE HANDLING OF RECALL AS MANDATED BY ITS CUSTOMER POLICIES GM CUSTOMER CARE DSC3115 AND US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION NHTSA MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY TITLE 49, UNITED STATES CODE CHAPTER 301 OF MAY 2013, OFFICE OF THE CHIEF COUNSEL. PLEASE INVESTIGATE . *TR
