2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE EGR COOLER SENSOR FAILED AND BECAME INOPERABLE. AS A RESULT, THE EXHAUST PIPE OVERHEATED. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DIESEL FILTER SENSOR INCREASED EXCESSIVELY TO 1,500 DEGREES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.

ON DEC. 23, 2011, I TOOK MY SILVERADO INTO JOE FIRMENT FOR AN EXHAUST LEAK (WHICH IS AN EMISSIONS PROBLEM), SO I WANTED IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. THEY FOUND NOTHING. ON MAY 22, 2012 I TOOK MY SILVERADO BACK TO JOE FIRMENT FOR THE 3RD TIME FOR THIS SAME ISSUE - EXHAUST LEAK. AT THAT TIME THEY HAD FOUND ONE BROKEN BOLT ON THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD (ACTUALLY THERE WERE TWO BROKEN BOLTS THAT I FOUND PERSONALLY UPON FURTHER INSPECTION). MY WARRANTY COVERED THE MANIFOLD BUT HAD JUST EXPIRED ON MAY 7, 2012. I ASKED THAT THEY HONOR MY WARRANTY SINCE THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN THERE SINCE 2011, BUT THEY FAILED TO DIAGNOSE IT. JOE FIRMENT REFUSED TO HONOR MY WARRANTY. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR GM PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION SUIT. HOW...

EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKEN ON 6.0 LITER ENGINE, 2 ON PASSENGER SIDE, 1 ON DRIVER SIDE, CAUSING EXHAUST LEAKS AND SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD AS EXHAUST GASES ENTERING UNDERHOOD ENVIRONMENT, AND DEFINITE EMISSION PROBLEMS AS O2 SENSORS INCORRECTLY SENSING DILUTED EXHAUST AFTER LEAK IN SYSTEM, POSSIBLE FUEL MILEAGE AFFECTED.. *JS

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING IN INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS, WATER ENTERED THE AIR FILTER AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO DECELERATE TO APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD RATTLING NOISE AND THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THEN AUTOMATICALLY RESTARTED FIVE MINUTES LATER. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO MODIFY THE ENTIRE INTAKE SYSTEM BY REMOVING THE SENSOR FROM THE FILTER TO THE ENGINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HE DID NOT BELIEVE THE MODIFICATION WOULD RESOLVE THE FAILURE, BUT WAS OBLIGATED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO PERFORM THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 16,000.
