2019 Silverado Check Engine Light

[BFD25]

Hello,

 

I recently bought a 2019 Silverado RST 2.4 brand new. I currently have 1900 miles on the truck and the check engine light has been on almost the entire two months I’ve owned the truck. My dealership keeps telling me the trucks needs to be reprogrammed. Two to three days after this the check engine light comes right back on. Is there and end in sight for this? I’ve already contacted the Massachusetts Attorney General and was advised GM has one  final attempt to fix the problem or they will be required to refund my money. Thoughts?

Hi there, not sure of an answer but I am on this forum looking for feedback on the CHECK ENGINE light as well.  However mines is a 2018 Silverado Texas Edition. Started blinking as I was driving made it home wasn't but 3 miles away so I get home and my son in law checks oil after cools off and there was very little on one side of the dip stick and none at all on the other side. We repeated that several times and still only oil on one side very little. I service my truck at the dealership where purchased everytime and it was still at 36% on the life of oil for hardly any oil to not be in there.

We bought it new from dealership with only 8 miles and it will be 2 years in April with only 23,000 miles so for it already to start having issues much less a major component issue makes no sense. Waiting on dealership to let us know what they find. There was no oil leaking underneath either.

What engine is in the truck?

 

Have you actually had the truck reprogrammed?   

 

Do you have any codes on any of your paperwork received from any work done to it?

 

If the light has been on for 2 months, why not just have left the truck and taken a rental car until they figure it out?

The light isn’t steady on. It comes on, I bring the truck in to be reprogrammed and they send me back home. Every time they tell me “We think this is the problem, just come back if the light comes back on”. I now have a GM senior advisor assigned to my vehicle. Their hands are tied in Massachusetts. State law dictates they must refund me after the fourth repair attempt.

So I just left the dealership after getting the truck reprogrammed. Here is the diagnosis: “We were told by GM that the code indicates a software anomaly for which there is no fix. They are working on it”. I almost can’t believe this is happening.

Sounds like GM will be buying that one back as per your state law.
