2015 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A POPPING NOISE EVERY TIME I TURN IT. THE 2ND THING IS, I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING 8-10 TIMES WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. ONE TIME IT STALLED THE ENGINE AND LOST ALL POWER FOR 30-40 MINUTES AND I HAD TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY CABLES TO RESET SO IT WOULD CRANK. MAKES ME FEEL REAL SAFE WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE AT 60 MPH WONDERING IF I'M GOING TO LOSE POWER AGAIN.

I PURCHASED A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY SON. AT 44000 MILES HE NOTICED THE PAINT PEELING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND SPOKE WITH THE BODY SHOP SUPERVISOR. HE TOLD ME THE TRUCK HAD BEEN PAINTED TWICE AT THE FACTORY. AT THIS POINT, GM OFFERED ME 1000 DOLLARS OF THE COST TO REPAIR THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND AFTER RESEARCH WAS TOLD THE TRUCK HAD NO HISTORY OF BEING PAINTED TWICE AND THERE OFFER STOOD AT 1000 DOLLARS OF THE REPAIRS. SO, I WENT TO THREE DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THE TRUCK HAD BEEN PAINTED TWICE. THE LAST SHOP I WENT TO EVEN MEASURED THE THICKNESS OF THE PAINT TO PROVE IT. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

WITHIN 6 WEEKS I HAD TO REPLACE 3 TIRES ON MY TRUCK. I STILL HAD 4/32 OF WERE LEFT ON THESE TIRES THAT ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 27000 MILES ON THEM. I ENDED UP BUYING A FORTH TIRES AND HAD THE TIRES BALANCED FOR ANOTHER HUNDRED DOLLARS.I HAVE ALL THE RECEIPTS AND I AM LOOKING FOR COMPENSATION FOR INFERIOR TIRES THAT WERE ON THE TRUCK WHEN I BOUGHT IT. CHEVROLET QUALITY WAS NOT THERE ON MY TIRES. THIS HAPPENED OVER A 6 WEEK PERIOD STARTING 10/20/2017 TO 10/28/2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR HAD BEEN ILLUMINATED FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (JOHN JONES CHEVROLET IN CORYDON, INDIANA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A RODENT DAMAGED THE WIRES ABOVE THE FUEL TANK, WHICH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.

HARD BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND TRUCK HARD TO STOP. POSSIBLE BRAKE BOOSTER DEFECT. ATTEMPTING TO PARK IN PARKING STALL, HAD TO PUT TRUCK IN N TO STOP. COMMUTING TO WORK IN TRAFFIC AT LOW SPEED AND PEDAL BECOMES HARD, TRUCK HARD TO STOP.

WHEN TAKING A LONG, RATHER SHARP TURN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WAS RESISTING AGAINST THE TURN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE. AT THE SAME TIME, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO INITIATE WHEN THE PEDAL WAS STEPPED, BUT IMMEDIATELY BECAME VERY HARD AND COULD BARELY SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE. ALMOST HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT DUE TO THE DELAY AND DIFFICULTY IN BRAKING.

I WAS TRYING TO MISS A DEER UNSUCCESSFULLY AND WENT OFF ROAD AND THE SIDE OF ROAD HAD A BANK DROP OFF AND AS I WAS TRYING TO GET MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 BACK ON THE ROAD THE REAR END STARTED SLIDING DOWN THEN MY TRUCK TUCK OFF DOWN EMBANKMENT AND RESTED ON A COUPLE TREES ONE OF WHICH I HIT HEAD ON. AFTER I CAME TOO I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED MY AIRBAG HAD NOT CAME OUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL JUST ON THE SIDES. SO I WAS THINKING MAYBE MY TRUCK WAS NOT HURT THAT BAD. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS THAT I WAS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND TO PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE YOUR LIFE DOES NOT WORK MAKES ME REALLY UPSET EVEN THOUGH I REALLY LOVED MY TRUCK. ACCIDENT EARLY MORNINGS OF OCTOBER 7, 2017.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KUNES COUNTRY CHEVROLET-CADILLAC, INC. (1231 GENEVA ST, DELAVAN, WI 53115) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO DEFECTS WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED UNREPAIRED. THE FAILURE PERSISTED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND DIAGNOSED WITH A DEFECTIVE ROTOR. THE CONTACT PAID FOR THE REPAIR OUT OF POCKET. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 7,000.

AT LOW SPEED WITH STOP AND GO TRAFFIC LOSS OF BRAKE ASSIST/BOOST. FIRST APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES WAS NORMAL. AFTER RELEASE AND REAPPLICATION, BRAKE BOOST WAS LOST, PEDAL BECAME VERY HARD AND VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP.

THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BELT HAS SEPARATED FROM THE FLOOR. THE CABLE THAT ATTACHES THE LAP BELT TO THE BASE OF THE SEAT HAS FAILED. THE CABLE HAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED. THIS FAILURE HAPPENED WHEN I WAS PARKED, AT HOME AND JUST ATTACHING THE SEAT BELT. NO UNUSUAL PRESSURE OR STRAIN WAS PLACED ON THE SEAT BELT. THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE SEAT BELT HAS NEVER BEEN UNDER ANY STRAIN. IF YOU DISCOUNT THE LAP BELT PART OF THE SEAT BELT THE SHOULDER BELT STILL FUNCTIONS.

AFTER OWNING MY TRUCK FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND 30K MILES, THE AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. WHEN PURCHASED NEW AND FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS DRIVING IT, THE AC WORKED PERFECTLY, THIS HAPPENED FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR A RESOLUTION, I CAME ACROSS MULTIPLE OTHER CHEVROLET OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE CULPRIT CAME TO BE KNOWN AS THE AC CONDENSER. IT IS KNOWN THAT THE CONDENSERS USED BY GM FOR THIS MODEL TRUCK HAVE WEAK WELDS AND THIS IS WHERE THE CONDENSER FAILS PRODUCING A SMALL LEAK. AS IT TURNS OUT, GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE AC CONDENSERS ON THESE VEHICLES AND REFUSES TO COVER THEM UNDER WARRANTY AND WANTS TO CHARGE UPWARDS OF $1K DOLLARS TO REPLACE. I AM COMPLETELY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS CONSIDERING MY TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD WITH UNDER 35K MILES ON IT. THIS IS TOO NEW OF A VEHICLE FOR THE AC TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

THE PAINT IS SO CHEAP ON THIS TRUCK EVERY TIME I LOOK IT IT HAS A NEW CHIP AND THE ROOF IS STARTING TO CRACK AND LOOK HORRIBLE TOOK IT TO CHEVY THEY SAY IT'S BIRDS IT'S GARAGE KEPT HAS 22000 MILES ON IT I NEVER REALLY DRIVE IT'S STARTING TO LOOK AS BAD AS MY 03 1500HD AND IT'S A WORK TRUCK

THIS TRUCK HAS THE 6.2 AND 8 SPD TRANS. I START IT UP IN THE GARAGE AND LET IT IDLE DOWN, BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE INTO THE STREET, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND FEEL IT ENGAGE, PUSH ON THE GAS AND IT DOESN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS OR NOW IT WILL MOVE BUT THEN WHEN IT TRIES TO DO THE 1-2 SHIFT IT WON'T SHIFT AND THE TRUCK STOPS MOVING FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL IT FINALLY DOES SHIFT. I HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER AT 13K MILES AND THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STATOR SUPPORT IN THE TRANS ALLOWING THE CONVERTER TO DRAIN SO THEY DID A PARTIAL TRANS REBUILD AND UPDATED THE PARTS. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS SHOWING UP AGAIN ALONG WITH THE 1-2 SHIFT PROBLEM. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AT ABOUT 18K MILES AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULD REPRODUCE IT AND THE ISSUES IS CAUSED BY THE "CLUTCH" NOT BEING FILLED WITH FLUID AT THE TIME THE SHIFT IS TRYING TO HAPPEN. ONCE THE CLUTCH IS FULL...IT SHIFTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH GM AND THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT TELLING DEALERS THIS IS NORMAL AND TO NOT DO ANY REPAIRS TRYING TO FIX SO THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND PUT THE TRANS BACK INTO LEARN MODE SAID THEY WERE SORRY AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. THIS CONDITION IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND IT DOES NOT. THIS TRANSMISSION IS INSTALLED IN CHEVY, GMC, AND CADILLAC TRUCKS AND SUVS AND THERE MANY COMPLAINTS ON ALL OF THE POPULAR MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT ALMOST BEING HIT IN THE REAR BECAUSE THERE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH THE 8 SPD TRANS GM HAS BEEN USING IN THEIR TRUCKS AS WELL AND GM WILL NOT ADDRESS ANY OF THEM SAYING THAT THEY ARE ALL NORMAL. I HAVE TALKED TO PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE PERSONALLY THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS WELL AND NOT GETTING ANYWHERE.

IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING SOMEWHERE AROUND EITHER THE SUNROOF OR THE XM ANTENNA. I ALREADY HAD THE LEAK AROUND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WHICH NOT ONLY FILLED THE LENS UP WITH WATER AND KEPT BLOWING BULBS FOR MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FIXED. BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF DIFFERENT YEAR AND MODELS OF THE SILVERADO HAVE BEEN DOING SO. BUT SOME HOW WHEN IT RAINS OR I WASH MY TRUCK OR GO THRU A CAR WASH I GET WATER DRIPPING FROM MY HEADLINER ONTO MY HEATED SEATS, DOWN BEHIND MY DASH AND WATER PUDDLING UP INTO MY FLOORBOARD, ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS LEAKING MY WHOLE REAR FLOORBOARD WOULD BE COMPLETELY SOAKED. THE CONDENSATION ON MY WINDOWS WOULD MAKE IT HARD TO DRIVE AND BE ABLE TO SEE THRU THE WINDSHIELD, THE WATER DRIPPING ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS A DISTRACTION ALSO AND IF I TURNED ON MY HEATED SEATS I SOMETIMES WOULD FEEL ELECTRICAL SHOCKS IN MY BUTT, AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE MOLD GROWING ON TOP OF MY HEADLINER AND IN MY CARPET MAKES MY TRUCK SMELL AND I'M SURE BREATHING THE MOLD IN ISN'T HEALTH FOR ME OR MY 10 YEAR OLD SON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY PLACE AND THEY WON'T FIX IT DUE TO IT HAVING OVER 36,000 MILES YET I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH DOESN'T COVER THIS, MY INSURANCE COMPANY DOESN'T COVER IT EITHER.

ABOUT 41000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I HAD BRAKING PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AT PARKING LOT. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP DUE TO THE BRAKING ISSUE. I FELT LOOSING PRESSURE WHILE BRAKING. I HAD THIS ISSUE 3 TIMES. ON JULY 16, I NOTICED THE ISSUE THEN IT DID NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT IT CAME BACK AGAIN ON AUGUST 31 AND SEPTEMBER 1. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED VACUUM PUMP. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL. I HAD TO SPENT ABOUT $500 FOR NEW VACUUM PUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING SUDDENLY BECAME VERY DIM. THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO READ THE INSTRUMENT PANEL GAUGES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (PUBLIC SERVICE GMC IN MARQUETTE, MI) AND WAS EXAMINED BY THE MANUFACTURER'S ENGINEERS. THE ENGINEERS DETERMINED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AND NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

TRUCK VIBRATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BETWEEN 65 TO 85 MPH THE TUCKS HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION.

CONTINENTAL TIRE TREAD PEELING OR COMING OFF TIRE IN CHUNKS. FEEL THIS IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. TRUCK PURCHASED NEW IN 2015. CURRENT MILEAGE IS 18,700 MILES.

THE BRAKE ASSIST WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE COULD NOT BRAKE PROPERLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS REALLY HARD TO BRAKE. A;MOST HAD A WRECK CAUSE I COULD BRAKE PROPERLY ON TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, A BELT FRACTURED AND CAUSED HEAT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PREMATURELY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE TO DETERMINE IF A DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

ORIGINAL COMPLAINT # 11011865, SO I BROUGHT MY 2015 SILVERADO BACK TO MICHAELS CHEVROLET IN FRESNO AFTER THEY REPLACED MY RACK AND PINION. THE SECOND RACK HAD SAME ISSUE AFTER BEING ON TRUCK FOR THREE WEEKS. THIS TIME DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RACK. I NOTICED GM RECALLED OVER 800,000 2014 SILVERADO RECENTLY. I HAVE AN EARLY MODEL 2015 SILVERADO WHICH I LEARNED HAS THE SAME RACK AND PINION AS THE 2014'S. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THE RECALL COULD BE EFFECTING MY TRUCK AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNSURE AND IT WAS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER THEY STILL REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RACK UNDER WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS AS A RESULT OF MY TRUCK HAVING A LEVELING KIT. SO NOW I CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO IT BEING UNSAFE. LAST THING I WANT IS TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE ALL STEERING. WHAT CAN I DO AND IS THERE ANY LAWS THAT PROTECT ME FROM GM WARRANTY PROBLEMS???

POWER BRAKES STOP WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SEEMS THE VACUUM PUMP IS FAILING. SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES HARD AND REQUIRES ALOT OF EXTRA EFFORT TO STOP. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE REAR OF A CAR IN A DRIVE-THRU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,600.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING ABILITY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO STEER THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. ONCE TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED, THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CUTTER CHEVROLET (711 ALA MOANA BLVD, HONOLULU, HI 96813, (877) 471-1766) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER UPDATED THE EPS MODULE SOFTWARE APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR AGO. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,000.

BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHEN I DROVE AT LOW SPEED. I IGNORED IT ONCE IN JULY 2017. BUT I HAD SAME ISSUE AGAIN ON AUG. 31 AND SEP 1 AT THE PARKING LOT. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I FIXED MY ISSUE AT CHEVY DEALER, AND THEY REPLACED VACUUM PUMP. (~42000 MILES ON THE TRUCK)

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE COURSE OF 3 DAYS I NOTICED THE AIR CONDITIONER GO FROM BLOWING COLD AIR TO BLOWING WARMER AIR UNTIL IT NO LONGER WAS COLD. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE SYSTEM AND SAID THE AC CONDENSER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1,300 TO FIX. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. THE CURRENT "FEEL LIKE" TEMPERATURE IN FLORIDA IS 106 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUTSIDE. THAT WOULD BE A LONG TIME TO GO WITHOUT A/C WITHOUT A LOANER FROM THE DEALER, WHICH THE DEALER DID OFFER.

POWER STEERING WENT OUT TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY AND THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY A PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE WHEN THEY RECEIVED IT

ONE MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO, I NOTICED A MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD SCREEN WHICH READ "RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT SIGNAL FAILURE. I WENT TO THE NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED REPLACEMENT BULBS AND NOTICED THAT THE BULBS WEREN'T THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CHECKED THE FUSES AND DID NOT FIND ANY BLOWN FUSES WHICH AGAIN WASN'T THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT WILL TURN ON IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON BUT WILL NOT BLINK WHEN THE SIGNAL LIGHT IS ON OR IF THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED. LATER THAT NIGHT I REALIZED THAT NONE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WORKED EITHER; WEATHER THE LIGHT IS IN THE DOOR POSITION OR THE ON POSITION. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WITH THIS TRUCK BEING SO NEW WITH LESS THAN 45000 MILES, THESE PROBLEMS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.

WHILE USING A SPARE KEY TO MY 2015 SILVERADO FOR THE ENTIRE DAY, AND DRIVING OVER 70 MILES, THE "ANTI-THEFT" WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE APPROX. 10 MILES WITH THE LIGHT ON AND WHILE TURNING OFF A BUSY ROAD, ACROSS ON-COMING TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO STEERING, NO FORWARD MOVEMENT, NOTHING. IT VIRTUALLY WENT DEAD! I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TRY TO START IT AGAIN (THANK GOODNESS NO TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH AT THE TIME). AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER TO MY HOME, WHERE IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN, IN FRONT OF MY DRIVEWAY. HAD IT TOWED, AS I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING IT AGAIN. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO CONCLUDE WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TESTED IT WITH THE SPARE KEY, AND STILL NO SIGN OF ANY TROUBLE. I AM RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CHEVY SILVERADO DYING OUT WHILE DRIVING WHEN I'M MAKING TURNS THAT WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO HAVE ERROR MESSAGES POPPING UP WITH REGARDS TO THE STABLE TRAC SENSOR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON, THE RADIO GOING IN AND OUT, AND THE AC GOING OUT/COMING BACK ON. WHILE BACKING UP THE TRUCK IS LOCKING UP ON ME, AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS JERKING OUT OF MY HANDS, WHICH WILL DYE OUT AS WELL. WHEN I GO TO START IT BACK UP THE TRUCK THEN GIVES ME AN ERROR MESSAGE OF ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO CLEAR IT OUT. I'VE CURRENTLY HAD THIS AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP THE PAST 6 MONTHS WITHOUT THEM BEING ABLE TO FIX THIS NUMEROUS TIMES.

THE 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 HIGH COUNTRY VIBRATES AND MAKES A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BEGINNING AT 20 MPH UP TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL. THE FREQUENCY AND SOUND LEVEL IS NOT DEPENDENT ON SPEED, LOAD OR ROAD CONDITIONS. IT'S ALWAYS THERE. I'M TAKING IT BACK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. AT FIRST THE DEALER SAID THE VIBRATION AND NOISE WAS NORMAL. AFTER SHOWING THEM A COPY OF THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN ' PI1354C, THEY NOW ADMIT TO A POTENTIAL ISSUE. STILL NOT SOLUTION.

VERY LOW SPEED IMPACT CAUSED TOTAL STEERING LOSS. TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET, IMPACTING A STATIONARY VEHICLE LOCATED THE PASSENGER SIDE. SPEED OF IMPACT WAS VERY LOW, BUT CAUSED STEERING LOSS. REPAIR ESTIMATE SHOWS FAILURE OF THE GEAR ASSY, STEERING. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE ESTIMATE FROM CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND WILL PROVIDE THEM UPON REQUEST, BUT DO NOT WISH TO MAKE THEM PUBLIC.

AIR CONDITIONER STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. TOOK TO DEALER THEY FOUND A WELD BROKEN LOOSE ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK. CURRENTLY GM CONDENSERS ARE ON BACK ORDER. DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING PROBLEM NATIONWIDE. THEY CHARGE ME TO REFILL THE SYSTEM WITH FREON (OR EQUIVALENT), 24 HOURS LATER IT HAS LEAKED OUT AND IS BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. DEALER GUESSED 3 TO 6 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD GET THE REPLACEMENT PART IN. TRUCK HAS 68,000 MILES WITH COST GOING TO BE $1300.00. WE ALSO HAVE A 2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WITH 74,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. COST $1300.00 TO FIX.

TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT RIGHT BETWEEN 2 AND 3 AND ON DOWN SHIFTING. NEVER DROVE A VEHICLE THAT DOES THIS. WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TRANS.

I WENT TO BACK OUT MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKES DID NOT APPLY. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY FAILED AGAIN. I APPLIED THE GAS AND WENT ON MY WAY THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK FINE. BUT FROM IDLE TO SLOW SPEEDS (1-10 MPH) THE BRAKES FAIL AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I CAN OR IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL. HAVE DODGED SEVERAL CARS AT RED LIGHTS.

I LOSE THE POWER BRAKES IF I TOUCH THE PEDAL AT LOW SPEED MORE THAN A COUPLE OF TIMES. IT HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC AND WHEN BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT. IT IS A COMPLETE LOSS OF THE POWER BRAKES AND IR BARELY STOPS.

AT A LOW SPEED COMING INTO MY CARPORT THE BRAKES HAD A HARD PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. 5-27-2017 AND AGAIN WHILE BACKING UP TO MY LAWN MOWER TAILOR ON 5-29-2017 . NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT YOU COULD NOT PRESS PEDAL DOWN AT ALL. ?????

I HAVE GOTTEN MANY NOTICES IN THE MAIL THAT THIS LEASED VEHICLE HAS A SAFETY RECALL (15822) - I HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES - ALWAYS GOES TO VOICE MAIL, I HAVE LEFT MANY MESSAGES, NO REPLY. I HAVE SENT THEM WEB MESSAGES - NO REPLY. I FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY. THEIR NUMBER IS 248-348-7000

THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TAIL LIGHTS HAS CORRODED. POINT OF CORROSION IS THE "CUP OR SOCKET" THAT THE TAIL LIGHT BULB IS INSERTED INTO. CORROSION FAILURE OCCURRED AT 28 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE NEW VEHICLE. SOCKET DID NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF CORROSION PREVENTING DIELECTRIC GREASE PRESENT AS I HAVE TYPICALLY SEEN IN TAIL LIGHT CONNECTIONS.UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS AT 40,000 MILES IT WAS CONSIDERED OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALL EXPENSE FOR REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. DEALERSHIP ALSO RECOMMENDED THE REPLACEMENT OF A SOCKET WITH FIELD SOLDIERING RATHER THAN REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS WHICH SEEMS LIKE A SOLUTION TO CREATE MORE CORROSION ISSUES. CORROSION CAUSED THE LOSS OF TAIL LIGHTS ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LACK OF WARNING/INDICATION FROM VEHICLES BEHIND.

AT APPROXIMATELY 45K MILES, TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AT 70 MPH. ISSUE ONLY OCCURS ON HIGHWAYS/INTERSTATES WHERE 70MPH CAN BE DRIVEN SAFELY. NOW HAS 52K MILES. DEALER HAD ACCESSORIZED TRUCK WITH OVERSIZE WHEELS/TIRES & LIFT KIT. I BOUGHT IT THIS WAY. WAS SMOOTH UNTIL ABOUT 45K MILES. MY TIRES ARE STILL GOOD, BUT I WILL REPLACE BEFORE 60K MILES INTERNET SEARCHING REVEALED MUCH INFORMATION REGARDING "CHEVY SHAKE" ISSUE WITH GM FULL SIZE TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I BELIEVE MINE IS AFFECTED BY THE 'CHEVY SHAKE' MYSTERY PROBLEM. WILL BE TAKING TO DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE 7/21/17 AND ADVISING THEM OF THIS ISSUE. THEY WILL LIKELY BLAME IT ON AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT/SUSPENSION/WHEELS/TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP ACCESSORIZED THE TRUCK WHEN NEW THROUGH A SPECIALTY SHOP. I BOUGHT WARRANTIES THAT SUPPOSEDLY COVER ALL OF THE TRUCK, EVEN THE STUFF DEALER HAD THE SPECIALTY SHOP PUT ON IT.

TRUCK SHAKES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ISN'T NOTICEABLE ON SIDE STREETS IN THE CITY BUT WHEN TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT ALWAYS ABOVE 70-75 MILES PER HOUR. IT SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT A DRINK IN THE CONSOLE WILL SHAKE OUT OF IT'S CONTAINER. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES BUT THE CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER CANNOT FIX IT. THEY HAVE BALANCED AND REPLACED TIRES BUT CANNOT FIX IT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE OR COULD LEAD TO DAMAGE RENDERING IT UNSAFE.

FRONT BRAKES ON LEFT SIDE STICK AND WEAR UNEVENLY AND RAPIDLY. I HAVE HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED TWICE WITH 80% PAD LIFE ON RIGHT SIDE BY MIDAS. MIDAS STATED THAT THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE PISTON/CALIPER AND A NEW HOSE WHICH IS LARGER ALLOWING THE BRAKES TO RELEASE PROPERLY.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN MODIFIFED BY EITHER A POWERFUL ENTITY OR BY THE DEALERSHIP ITSELF AT THE DIRECTION OF A POWERFUL ENTITY. TRUCK HAS SO MANY PROBLEMS. I BOUGHT FROM SAME DEALERSHIP OUT OF SHOW ROOM AND TRUSTED THEM. AFTER ACCIDENT, AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND I COULDNT FIGURE OUT WHY. SEE BURN MARKS AROUND EDGES OF AIRBAGS ALONG WITH CONDUCTIVE STRING SEW INTO THEM. ALSO NOTICED EXTRA CONDUCTORS ADDED ALONG WITH EXTRA INSULATOR LAYER. CIGARETTE OUTLETS ALL MANIPULATED AFTER REPLACED WITH HIGHER OUTPUT PLUGS. ALSO FOUND AIR BAG SENSORS WHICH ARE DISCONTINUTED AS THEY BELONG TO TRUCKS FROM 2007-2009. FRAME IS FOR A 1TON TRUCK WHICH HAS BEENGREASED FRONT TO BACK. AXELS ARE CLEARLY OLDER AND ARE LABELED FOR A CK2500 (1 TOM) MODEL DRIVE SHAFT AND MANY OTHER COMPONENTS HAVE MARKINGS THROUGHOUT TO ESTABLISH PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE TO GUIDE SHORT OF ELECTRICITY TO DRIVER TO SHOCK ME. MODLES MODFIFIED TO GAIN ACCESS TO TRUCK. I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS TRUCK IN PERSON. WAY TOO UCH TO LIST. DEALERSHIP HAD IT LONG TIME TO DO REPAIRS. WHEN TAKEN BACK TO THEM TO FIGURE OUT HWY THE LOUD SHAKES, THE DEALERSHP CERTIFIED SHOP TECH STATED EVERYTHING IS PERFECTL NORMAL. THAT WA S A LIE.EEWWDDUUUUUUUUUUUUUEFU

AC NOT COOLING AC NOT COOLING AC CONDENSER AC CONDENSER IS LEAKING AT SEAM.

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS AT LOW IDLE SPEED. WHEN TRUCK IS PUT IN GEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND VEHICLE CANNOT STOP. BRAKE PEDAL ALSO DOES THIS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. CHEVROLET SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? THE PROBLEM IS A MECHANICAL PUMP CALLED A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP. WE WERE TOLD THIS CAN BE REPLACED FOR $1100 AND IS NOT A WARRANTED PART. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP BRAKE PRESSURE AT LOW SPEED IS TO HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GIVE VEHICLE GAS TO INCREASE THE RPM'S. HOW IS THIS SAFE?

IN DECEMBER 2018 WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AT LOW SPEED, BRAKES WERE APPLIED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ABOUT HALFWAY THEN BECAME "HARD." THERE WAS NO BRAKING POWER AND BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK. THIS WAS ASSOCIATED WITH A "CLICKING" NOISE. WHEN CAR ROLLED TO A STOP I STARTED MOVING AGAIN AND REAPPLIED THE BRAKES. SAME RESULT BOTH IN FORWARD AND REVERSE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN IN A PARKING LOT ON APRIL 11, 2017. MY VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 83,000 MILES. TOOK IT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY STATED THE ISSUE WAS THE VACUUM PUMP AND RECOMMENDED REPAIRS ACCORDING TO THEIR PIT5361D. HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT GM RECENTLY PUBLISHED THAT THEY WOULD ONLY WARRANTY THE FIX UP TO 72,000 MILES. I HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR COMPLETED YET.

UNDER ACCELERATION AND CRUISING HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE VIBRATES AND SHAKES. IT IS FELT IN THE FLOORBOARDS, SEATS, PEDALS, STEERING WHEEL AND IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES GETTING ALIGNMENTS, WHEEL BALANCES, AND PICO SCOPE TESTS. UNDER MY OWN INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE FACTORY DRIVESHAFT WAS NOT STRAIGHT, OUT OF ROUND AND OUT OF BALANCE SO I HAD A PROFESSIONAL DRIVELINE SHOP BUILD ME A NEW ONE. ALSO UNDER MY OWN INVESTIGATION I FOUND THE REAR AXEL HUB FLANGES WERE OUT OF ROUND AS WELL AND THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD REPLACED THEM. VIBRATION STILL EXISTS AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO ANSWERS COMING FROM GM.

THE TRUCK SHAKES AT SPEEDS OF FROM 35 MPH, THEN IT STOPS AND WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 60 AND 70 ON THE THRUWAY IT SHAKES AGAIN. THE VIBRATION IS TRANSFERRED THROUGH THE GAS PEDEL AND INTO THE SEATS AND CONSOLE. ALSO WHEN BRAKEING IT SHAKES. ITS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS SINCE I BOUGHT IT. ALSO THE VOLTAGE METER DROPS AND I LOSE DASH BOARD LIGHTS.THIS HAPPENS WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. I'M TIRED OF LOSEING VALUABLE DAYS OFF TO DRIVE UP TO DENOOYER CHEVY IN ALBANY TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT THIS AGAIN. THE TRUCK TRAVELS STRAIGHT AND TRUE BUT SHAKES AT THOSE SPEEDS, SOMETIME IT MAKES A DROWNING SOUND AS IT HAPPENS.ITS IN THE FRONT END PART OF THE SUSPENSION I BELIEVE. THE TIRES WERE ALL HIGH SPEED BALANCED AND AIR IS PERFECT IN ALL 4 TIRES. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS?

IT BEGAN WITH THE HEADLIGHTS/PARKING LIGHTS FLICKERING FOR A FEW WEEKS. LATER THE TRUCK BEGAN TO GIVE ERROR MESSAGES ABOUT STABILITY CONTROL, TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL, AND OTHERS. FINALLY IT VIOLENTLY JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (TRUCK HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING). THIS HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN VARIOUS TURNS BUT I AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH AND/OR DEATH. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS ON BOARD.
