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?

Posted

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.

    • tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.
    • NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
    • That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
    • I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through. 
    • T3's and Ibuprofen. I do have a cryotherapy unit (ice machine) and a lift chair that will allow me to raise my legs above my heart.  There are topicals that I can use once the wound is fully healed.
