NHTSA Complaint #11081835 — 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO

WITH APPROXIMATELY 7800 MILES ON IT, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS CROSSING A HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO STUTTER AND LOST POWER. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING SEMI WHILE CROSSING THE ROAD. I NARROWLY MISSED GETTING HIT, THE SEMI DRIVER SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND HONKED AT ME AS IF I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. I PROMPTLY PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP WHERE THEY HAD DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY LIFTER. THIS IS A PREVALENT ISSUE ON MANY CHEVROLET/GMC ENGINES AS THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS RELEASED ON THIS. I HAVE ATTACHED AN OLDER (2016) TECH SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THERE IS AN UPDATED ONE WITH THE FOLLOWING PART NUMBER: 15-06-01-002F. I WOULD LIKE GM TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS AS THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.
