I have a 2022 Chevy Silverado HD 2500 Duramax diesel custom it was supposed to last me the rest of my life and I was hit by a nine Bluetooth hack that has infected every single device I have linked to the computer in this truck And or plugged into charge there’s been automatic connections made but I did not. They were just there. It is worse than a bad STD and it has cost me $20,000 fighting it the $80,000 price tag on this truck. It is now to the point it is affecting the mechanical part of the truck. It will change channels on the XM radio driving down the road without me pushing a button , which is into four-wheel-drive without me touching a button it gets stuck in four-wheel-drive and I cannot get it out. I have had people tracking me through the system adding stops into my trips. I had a remote unlock done by OnStar where I had four credit cards stolen and maxed out to bank accounts cleaned out  And the cards put back in my truck I’ve had damage done to my truck. I have been stocked and followed by unknown individuals. This truck has become a noose around my neck, and I am still paying for it. GM refuses to acknowledge that it’s a possibility this is happening. Treated me like I was crazy. Didn’t know what I was talking about, all the way up to the service department and the manager, but the CEO of the dealership and an executive liaison with Detroit. They never informed me that there is actually a cybercrime division to GM that deals with this sort of thing trying to get anything done, has been an absolute nightmare , make everything look really good and great when you have $80,000 in your pocket to spend very dissatisfied upset and angry my last email to the executive in Detroit I specifically told him if anything happens to me I hold him personally responsible I have reported this to the FBI and I see three with zero response. I have addresses addresses everything‘s documented maybe throwing some ****** out there into cyberspace might anyone who buys a GM vehicle that has Wi-Fi data OnStar it is not secure there is nothing you can find out there as far as antivirus malware any way to clean up the computer system, if you get hacked, you’re screwed and there is no support you would think when someone hands you loaded weapon which this is something that has that kind of potential information along with it I got nothing. This is bad business and it is putting people in danger. Hopefully this will get some attention.

i know your upset, but this is not the fault of GM. the hackers don't hack the truck, they hack what you plug into the truck. so either your phone or tablet was hacked and you probably didn't even know it. and when you plugged in to the truck the infection took place. GM didn't put a virus in your truck you did, so why do you think they should be responsible to fix something you did maybe unknowingly. if download a virus to your computer do you think the manufacturer is responsible to fix it also. sitting for long periods of time at a coffee shop or the airport is all a hacker needs, and this can happen with in 15 minutes. bluetooth can be hacked, so like the saying goes, if your not using it shut it off just like a light in your house

Pretty sure you were hacked not from the truck, but rather a device you are using like your phone or something else bluetooth that is linked to your phone.  

 

Not a GM problem as far as I can tell.  

 

Also bluetooth Y9?  All I'm seeing is Chinese earbuds on google.

I agree with silveradosid 100% hackers can not hack into your truck your phone was hacked with a virus and when connected to the truck you spread the virus to the truck. The only way to remove the virus from the truck which your phone installed the virus is to completely wipe the computer in the truck and reinstall at your cost. If I were you I would completely remove the phone from the truck do a factory reset on your phone as it will return the phone back to the day like you bought the phone then add the phone back to the truck and see what happens. Again,the phone is the virus not the truck.

    • How many miles were on the truck when you bought it and was there some form of oil change history generated through a dealer or an independent shop although not much would show up if the owner had changed their own oil. Just curious if it was a maintenance issue or if there was something off from the start, surely one would think the original owner would have realized it was using a lot of oil, its hard to go back in time and find out the true story of mysteries like this. Well hopefully the warranty company will go for it and just install a new engine, that would be the ideal outcome.    I still have so few miles on my truck as per not quite 9000 and will be changing the oil shortly which has around 2700 miles on it or so and its down so little on the dipstick from where it was at the beginning of this oil change that I could make the "claim" that it uses no oil but in reality would be a very small amount, less than a 1/16 of an inch. Just driving empty/not towing and easy driving so hard to say what it would do if it had a load behind it for oil consumption. So far very impressed with the very minimal oil usage. 
    • I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed
    • Did you ever find a resolution to this? my 2019 Silverado 1500 is showing the exact same headlights issues with the exact same symptoms.  would help a ton if anyone has any advice on this or better yet a known solution..
    • Wawa and Meijer here have ethanol free (88 & 89) I use for my mower and lawn equipment.  Its not much more than reg.  I paid $3.29 a few weeks ago.  
    • 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.
