                                  My wife bought a 2019 Silverado high country, since day one  vehicle had nothing but trouble, we went back to dealer next day after we bought the vehicle.  Since then last 11 month we made 8 trips, sometime dealer find fault they changes part. Vehicle works fine for days to week or even a month then same issue, some time vehicle wont start, some multiple Error will pop up, some time  vehicle will go to safety mode, some time vehicle will stop moving. There are time vehicle   failed to restart after auto stop.

I can list more other issue, dealer replaced battery twice, reprogram ECM and bunch of other thing. GM engineer is no help. GM not agree to repurchase  truck back

.

                             Because of we couldn't rely  on the vehicle we end buy another vehicle. one time we went trade in the vehicle to purchase a ford, unfortunately  vehicle failed to start so ford dealer refuse the deal.

I have tons of video of the failure.  I want post those video to YouTube.  My question to forum is, Does  one knows good youtuber and critics who will be interested.

Or I should go for legal action.

I agree with previous post. Get a lawyer. 

Before you do anything check the 4 bolts in the under hood fuse box. They are supposed to be tightened to 53 in-lbs. I think they are 7mm bolts. If they are loose you can get all kinds of weird electrical issues including a no start.

Thanks for the suggestion. Truck is 2019, we paid over 60 K,  bought new with few mile on it. Taken to dealer 8 times in last 11 month.  Vehicle is currently in the dealership for last two weeks.

Thanks for being a contributing member to the forum, to join, post a laundry list of failures and issues along with a deal to buy a competitor that certainly doesn't give anyone pause this might be a troll post... You came on here to get youtube advice?  :rollin:Create an account and post it on youtube, pretty simple. Sounds like you should be getting a lawyer though if all those problems are really happening. Best of luck, never understood the rationality of some people. When you have issues going on for a year why not come by earlier and ask questions instead of a sorry I am leaving can you guys help now post while I slander said vehicle?

GM does not give two ****** about what’s posted on YouTube, or this forum. Look around, there’s threads with complaints spanning three model years. 


You simply have to find one of our country’s 1.3 million lawyers to get their attention.

Sometimes just mentioning "lemon law" to your service guy will get the reaction you need. I had a ford ranger back in the 90s that was in the shop constantly. I finally told them I was going to lemon law it, they escalated everything, and put a whole new engine in it.

Worth a shot.

It is weird that GM doesn't have a representative reading through forums, when I was in the F-150 forum. Ford had people reading and helping out.. another thing I think the forum is a good place to start with. You got good advices so far. Lawyer up and bring your finding about the fuseboxes to the dealer. You never know some time the littlest thing can cause a big system to go haywire, that is a bad design but engineers are like humans they make mistakes too

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.

      Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.

      About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was.
