Door lock actuators do not always work first it was the passenger rear then driver rear now the passenger front is not working with the research i have don't i have come to the conclusion it is a very common problem even with low mileage trucks of this model year. the issue is not only annoying but can create a dangerous environment.
Additionally, a small number of 2007-2012 model year vehicles that include; 2008-2013 chevrolet avalanche, 2008-2009 chevrolet colorado vehicles; 2007-2013 chevrolet silverado, 2008-2014 suburban, and tahoe vehicles; 2008-2013 gmc sierra and 2009-2012 yukon vehicles; 2008-2009 gmc canyon vehicles; 2009-2010 hummer h2, h3 and h3t vehicles; and 2008-2009 saturn vue and 2009 outlook vehicles may have been serviced with a chassis electronic module that could have internal contamination, causing an electrical short in the module. if the module experiences an electrical short, the vehicle could display a check engine light, stall, or fail to start. if the vehicle experiences this condition and stalls while in motion, there could be an increased risk of a vehicle crash. my vehicle has stalled multiple times while driving as well as failed to start. when these symptoms occurred they are accompanied by a check engine light for a u0109 code (loss of communication with fuel pump control module). i believe that my vehicle, although the vin is not listed, is affected by nhtsa recall bulletin number 14515 as quoted above.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 chevrolet silverado 1500. while attempting to start the vehicle, it would crank, but not start. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who determined that the chassis electronic control module was contaminated and needed replacement. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 114,000.
The engine doesn't slow down imediatly after you release accelerator.. also the electric system comes on and off in motion... also sometimes speakers work and sometimes the don't ...in motion or not.. i lost control of the truck and hit a tree going about 40 mph no airbags were deployed...

Hello, i got a check engine light and found the code is for "low flow, check fuel control module, fuel pump". i found a recall bulletin no.: 14515b date: january 2015 subject: chassis electronic control module internal contamination. it is model year truck and the exact part number of the control module but the local dealer advised gm does not list my vin as being involved, even though my truck is listed in the model year bulletin and it is the exact part number for all vehicles!! my truck could stop at any time and is unsafe to drive. i can;t drive the vehicle for fear of it stalling and even gm advised it could stall in trafiic and is a safety hazard. please help. thank you.
The problem was not with the air bag, but the front switch that activates the air bags upon impact. when one or both fail the test when you turn the ignition on, it posts a message saying service the air bag system. there is lots of information regarding this on utube. apparently this is a common problem. i am an electrician and an electronics tech, i know that the air bags will not activate if the crash is on the side with a bad air bag. i had 2 brake light switches go out, at which time the person behind me,would have no idea, i was braking. the switch is a 2 part switch, one part controls the brake light, the other enables or disengages the cruise control system.
Tried to open passenger side front window from master module(switch) on driver side, notice a burnt odor. on farther inspection i found the passenger side window module had shorted out with burnt and/or melted wires at the connector. possible fire hazard! i was parked at a post office
Rapid temporary loss of engine power, doorlocks cycling repeatedly, guages malfunctioning, radio shuts off and turns back on with no preset stations and showing 12:00 on the clock ,cruise control disengages. once vehicle is shut off, no guages nor lights work...as if there wasn't any battery in the vehicle. vehicle won't start until dome light is restored on via jumpstarting. cleaning battery connections and numerous ground wire connections gives short-lived relief from symtoms but problems ultimately return. chevy dealership diagnosis shows that ground wires have high resistance. online research shows that tens of thousands of other chevy owners are having similar to exact same problems, yet no recall has been issued. problem was "fixed" last year and has returned yet again.
Takata recall. i spoke to a chevrolet dealership person (all star chevrolet north, 9352 plank road, baton rouge, la) about replacing my truck passenger side airbag. i first contacted them on november 7, 2017 and was told the device was not available. i contacted them again on may 10, 2018 and spoke with amanda. amanda said she would check with her manager to determine if the part was available to schedule the fix but i have not been contacted. i decided to call chevrolet customer assistance center (1-800-222-1020) and i spoke with jane. jane explained that my vehicle is not part of the recall but your web site and chevrolet web site (http://my.gm.com/recalls) state that my vehicle is part of the 'takata recall'. jane mentioned something about chevrolet hiring a third party engineering firm that determined that vehicles like mine was not affected. i asked for this in an email or letter but she said she was not authorized to release this information in written form. 'electrical issue'. vehicle instrumentation panel completely shuts down while driving. this appears to be a common problem when i search the internet. ...
Takata airbag defect... defective ignition switch locks key in ignition
Experiencing sporadic issues with my trucks electrical system. what will happen is that as i'm driving down the road (doesn't matter what speed), i will hear a loud "pop" (sounds exactly like a desktop computer losing power) and then my dashboard/monitor screen will go dark and after a split second everything come back on. the dashboard will flash on and off for a few more seconds. about every third time this happens, if i park the car and try to restart it it won't turn over. in these instances, i can hear current cycling through my power door lock switch along with an electric clicking noise that won't stop. if i let the truck sit for 15 minutes or so, i can get the truck to restart. i have had to have it towed a couple of times because i could never get it to turn over. this problem first occurred when the truck was 3-4 years old and still under warranty. they couldn't find the issue and didn't replace any parts. now all the repairs are coming out of my pocket. i've replaced the battery a couple times thinking ...
I was on highway 84 passing another car at speed 75 mph the door locks started came on and off, the safety belt lights came on, the engine started to slow and speed up, the clock went from 4:00 pm to 12:00 pm, the date went to 01/01/2004, the a/c started to blow hot air. i stopped on the shoulder and turned it off, everything stopped only the abs light stayed on. i called onstar to check what's wrong, they said everything looks good, check the tires, if the tires are good, you are good to drive. all tires were 33psi. i reset all the electronic functions and went home. i was in danger for at least 5 minutes in the left lane passing another car.
