Truck is a 2021 1500 with the 5.3 and 10 speed. Was purchased new and has been to the dealer 5 times in 12K miles for check engine light issues.
1. First time it flashed for less than a minute and went off without any drivability issues. Dealer scanned and found misfire code on 1 & 6, said no fix from GM yet and sent me on my way.
2. Second time, same light scenario but truck briefly ran rough. Dealer scanned and found misfire code on 1 & 6, did the crankshaft position re-learn.
3. Third time, happened again just like before less than a week later. Dealer said no other fix was available from GM yet, and to just drive it until they notified me.
4. Fourth time, happened again just like before but several months later. Dealer performed a TSB out to relocate one of the harnesses in engine bay away from a heat source.
5. Fifth time, CEL flashed for 60 seconds, went solid for 30, then flashed again, and finally went solid and stayed solid. Truck bucked and surged despite giving it steady throttle, and wouldn't make it up the on-ramp without putting it nearly on the floor. Once on the highway it finally smoothed out, but the light stayed lit. On-Star notified me to "service emissions system within 7 days." Sat at the dealer for almost week. They claim to have checked to see if it was lifters, but performed TSB #21-NA-154 AGAIN, claiming that they have different software available now, from the first time they re-learned the crankshaft position sensor (see Item 2 above). Told me they have three '21s in their shop all for failed lifters right now, and they "hoped" this fixed mine. I argued that #21-NA-154 specifically says its only for check engine light issues WITHOUT drivability issues and I DID have major drivability issues, but they insisted their tech said this would fix mine despite having major drivability issues this time.
Anyone else experiencing this many CEL issues? I feel like they're just re-setting the light every 2K miles and sending me on my way without any real fix. Thanks
