I have a new 2017 High Country 6.2 8 speed with the hesitation/surge. Most annoying vehicle I've ever driven. Completely unexceptable. The dealer says its normal and chevy won't help. Selling the truck and will never own another.

I have a 17 silverado CC z71 and I'm experiencing the same surge type feel. I had a 14 cc, which did the same thing, but not near as often as this 17. Almost feels like a misfire. I've had my truck since December 2016. ONLY ONE DAY, it didn't do it at all and I was very very stoked at how good the truck drove. I gave it 3000k miles to go away, but the surge/hesitation is still here. Scheduled to take my truck in Tuesday. I may force them to keep it till a fix is avail. It bug the heck out of me that these trucks do this as bad as they do.

It had 10 miles on it when I left the dealer. It now has 6500. Unfortunately I should have test drove it more than around the block on the dealers prescribed route.

I have the hesitation stumble, I fear taking it in because I put an Airraid MIT on....I fear they'll blame the MIT and void my warranty. So disgusted with the stumble.

GM knows about the surging but there is no fix for it yet. Bulletin # PIP5457B

 

 

I can't find anything on this bulletin

You probably won't find anything on the net regarding it. Most automakers keep TSB info inside, and don't share with the public.

I know a a producer in NYC, I'm going to ask him if we can do a report on this.... just sick of being denied answers and being told..." It's normal"

I too will take this all the way, whether BBB, lemon law, or law suit. I'm so sick of paying this much money for a High Country and got the "its your problem now" treatment. If I don't get anywhere I will sell it because it is not drivable. This needs to get out. I will stay posted with results.

I have the surging hesitation in low rpm's between 1200-1600 feels like a misfire or timing issue.

My GM dealer ship told me GM knows about the problem but do not know why it is happening there's nothing they can do for me except told me to sit and wait. Thats bs. I called the GM customer service they opened a case for me then they closed the next day because they said GM doesn't have a fix for it and they can't fix it at this time so they would have to close my case? Are you kidding me what kind of customer service is that. I just filed paperwork for my state Lemon law I'm taking GM to arbitration they can buy this truck back I've never had such a crappy running brand-new vehicle shame on GMC. Oh yes and they told me that the vehicle is safe? How can the vehicle be safe when I don't even know what's wrong with it? I also get the fuel pump priming sound when I open up my front door what's going on GM if you can't fix it buy it back. Brand-new truck only 900 miles on it.

I have a general question.

 

When there is a problem like the surging issue; and GM admits there's a problem, do they have a time limit as to when they need to come up with a solution/fix for the problem?

 

Are there any legal guidelines that they need to follow, after admitting they are aware of a drivability problem?

 

Or could GM legally just sweep this issue under the rug, after a few years of just saying they are looking into it, but have no fix at this time?

i got nothing to add to this but thank you for posting it, i got loaned a new 17 while my 16 was in the shop. i wondered what that sound was, far as surging i drive in M so i really cant say anything about it

 

reading through the first page startup times seem pretty close to my 16 but i did notice in the same very short trip to work it seem to warmup faster? but thats prob due to the active grill shudders?

Posted

you guys are so impatient. There will be a fix soon. The 14-16s don't do it so I'm sure they'll fix the software.

 

I don't see what the big deal is.

    • The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.    
    • My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.
    • That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
