NHTSA Complaint #11439527 — 2021 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500

Approx every 1,500 miles engine will crank for ~25 seconds and not start. This creates two safety problems 1) Defective part in engine could cause metal shavings in engine or some other form of part failure resulting in seized engine along with fire or accident. 2) Vehicle has start stop feature. Failure of vehicle to start at an intersection could result in a traffic accident. Vehicle was serviced at Chevrolet dealer where they stated vehicle could not be repaired without demonstration of the problem. Dealer did not inform me about, inspect or make repairs for two service bulletins that I found on the internet for the issue. One service bulletin is for a defective engine part. The camshaft target wheel could be bent and contacting the timing chain. The other dealer service bulletin is for a software update to correct a similar starting issue. For review, I uploaded the dealer service report along with both dealer service bulletins. I'd really like NHTSA to look into why GM is not informing vehicle owners about the software issue or the known defective engine part.
