6.2Midnight Keep me posted, I want to do the same to my truck!

Not my truck, but you get the idea...

Just asking...why couldn't we swap out the newer cap less filler neck with a 2016 design filler neck? Has anyone tried this yet? This would solve the fuel tank contamination issue and if you wanted to add a lockable fuel cap you would that option too.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice this issue. The first time I saw this was in a heavy rain storm when I filled with gas, the water was sitting on top of the cap less flapper and I thought this can't be good over the life of the truck!? I haven't looked close at Ford's design to see if their having the same problem. I hope GM will look at this before some damage is done to the fuel system?

Thanks, looking forward to another video that will show the non adjustable pedal bracket flex at a different angle.

I'm having problems viewing your video, can others view it?? Thanks

I own a 2014 Silverado LT 4x4 double cab V-6 with a build date of June 2014, I do not have adjustable pedals, my pedal bracket flex is insane. I noticed the lag in accelerator pedal tip in response from my first test drive of my new Silverado from day one with 18 miles and still have issues at 900 miles. This design problem isn't going to correct it self and will only get worst from usage. I don't know from reading all of the threads and posts which 2014/2015 build dates and models are impacted, but I think once owners can see the bracket flex in their trucks they will only then understand the issue. This issue seems to be for the fixed pedals only and not for the optional adjustable pedals. Happy 2015 !!!

I agree that a good video would be worth a million words of what the problem is and where it's located. I filed the NHTSA complaint shown below: VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL: 2014 Chevrolet Silverado Filed: 12/26/2014 WHILE MOVING FROM A STOP THE TRUCK SOMETIMES LAGS IN ACCELERATION WHICH MAY CAUSE THE OPERATOR TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR FURTHER THAN REQUIRED TO ENTER TRAFFIC. THIS CONDITION ALSO MAY CAUSE A SHORT ACCELERATION DELAY WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THAT CAN BE UNEXPECTED BY THE OPERATOR. I HAVE BEEN SURPRISED MANY TIMES BY THIS OPERATOR DISCONNECT ACCELERATING FROM A STATIONARY POSITION. AFTER DRIVING MY NEW TRUCK 900 MILES I INVESTIGATED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY BRACKET TO FIND THAT THE ENTIRE BRACKET IS NOT PROPERLY FASTENED STRUCTURALLY TO THE FIRE WALL BY DESIGN. I INSPECTED MY TRUCK ON 12/23/14 AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BRACKET FLEX ON MY TRUCK LOOKS TO BE ~3/4" TO 1" BEFORE THE ELECTRONIC LINKAGE ENGAGES. THE PEDAL TIP-IN ENGAGEMENT HAS TO FLEX THE MOUNTING BRACKET BEFORE THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION SWITCH ENGAGES. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE GM ENGINEERING AND DESIGN TEAM'S WOULD APPROVE OF SUCH A FLIMSY MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF BASIC MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATION. I FEEL OVER TIME AND USAGE THAT THIS BRACKET MAY COMPLETELY FAIL AS CURRENTLY DESIGNED. I COULD SHIM AND INSTALL ADDITIONAL HARDWARE TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I FEEL THIS DESIGN ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH GM BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A CRASH OR WORST.

Wow post #1 is correct. I own a 2014 Silverado LT 4x4 double cab V-6 with a build date of June 2014 and overall I'm happy with the truck but... I checked my truck yesterday and found this is a real problem, the accelerator pedal bracket flex on my truck looks to be ~3/4" to 1" before the electronic linkage engages. The pedal tip-in engagement has to flex the mounting bracket before the electronic acceleration switch engages. I can't believe the GM Engineering and Design Team's would approve of such a flimsy mounting bracket for this important part of basic motor vehicle operation. I would love to have GM explain why this is "as designed" and "normal" to have this amount of accelerator bracket flex. I also realize this flex issue is NOT the entire acceleration lag issue that so many have complained about but this would be a chance for GM to step-up to the plate and correct a basic design flaw on our trucks. I can't believe over time and usage this bracket will fail as currently designed. Sure I could shim and install additional hardware to correct this safety issue, but really GM, please fix our trucks. I would also request that someone please post a video showing the amount of flex maybe with a scale showing tip-in travel before the actual switch engagement. I think once every 2014/2015 Silverado & Sierra owner can see the actual flex problem they will understand why we have such erratic accelerator pedal reaction from idle. Sorry for the ranting!!! Have a safe and happy holiday!
