I detected the smell of fuel while the vehicle when it was both not running and running. I brought the truck to Banks Chevrolet in Concord NH. The high pressure fuel pump detached from its mounting flange, resulting in damage to the attaching high pressure fuel pipe causing a constant fuel leak. Dealer replaced the high pressure fuel pump and high pressure fuel pipe to resolve the concern. There is a NHTSA recall that my vehicle should have been included in, 18V358000. The GM recall number is 18188. I paid out of pocket (~$1500) to fix this saf…

HARD/ROUGH SHIFTING UP IN GEARS AND SAME DOWN SHIFTING IN GEARS. SHAKING/JERKING/SHUDDERING AT SPEEDS APX. 20-70 MPH. TRANSMISSION CAN DOWN SHIFT SO HARD, AT TIMES, IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOUR FROM BEHIND. WANTS TO STALL/SLIP SHIFTING UP IN GEARS. SEEMS TO HAVE TOO MUCH FREE PLAY IN DRIVELINE WHILE SITTING STILL SHIFTING FROM DRIVE TO REVERSE. MAKES A CLUNK SOUND.

TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS INTERMITTENT HESITATION, JERKING AND SHAKING WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP AND REVERSE LURCHING WHILE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE TRANSMISSION FLUID HAS BEEN CHANGED PER THE BULLETIN WITHOUT SUCCESS. THE TRUCK HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 4 TIMES WHERE THEY TYPICALLY REPORT "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM" AND THEREFORE DO NOTHING. THE LATEST COMMENT FROM GM CUSTOMER CARE WAS TO BLAME ALL THESE ISSUES ON MY TIRES (36000 MILES). LOSS OF POWER EQUALS A TIRE ISSUE?
