My truck went into limp mode with pulling a trailer on the highway due to a wide known injector pigtail failing. The truck would not accelerate, started shaking and lost speed suddenly.

After getting the truck repaired at $566.67 cost, the dealer say they would not help with the cost. Said the NHTSA would have to force them to fix this now is

Every time the truck is started it will give a dash screen warning of "Low Coolant Level" even though the reservoir is completely full. It has been doing it for years now. The warning can simply be dismissed, but I worry that if it actually ever is low, I will never know until it's too late because myself and everyone affected is going to simply dismiss the warning as it is a daily occurrence. That is to say if the sensor works properly at all. I have researched it online on several Chevy owners

Prior to 04/25/21 and 08/25/21 I was traveling 60mph on I-205 in the fast lane when my truck went into limp mode. I nearly caused an accident because the truck started shaking, all check engine lights illuminated, and it was challenging to navigate to the right lane and off the highway. This happened on two separate occasions. GM sent a letter dated August 2021 that my truck, "equipped with a 6.6L diesel engine, may have a condition that could cause the engine glow plugs to fail."
