2015 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

TAKATA RECALL I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING OVER AN OVERPASS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE WITH AN ASSOCIATED HUMMING NOISE AND AFTER ABOUT TWO SECONDS AFTER THEACH VIBRATION STARTED A VERY LOUD AND VIOLENT BANGING SOUND CAME FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE THAT WAS FELT FROM THE INSIDE. I IMMEDIATELY STEERED TO THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER, BECAUSE I COULD SEE METAL CHUNKS TUMBLING FROM BEHIND THE VEHICLE FROM MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. ONCE I WAS ON THE SHOULDER I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD COME APART FROM THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE U-JOINT STILL CONNECTED ON THE TRANSMISSION SIDE. THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS MANGLED ON THE TRANSMISSION SIDE, AND THE EXHAUST WAS CRUSHED WITH HOLES IN IT. THE TOOL ROAD AUTHORITY STOPPED TO RENDER AID AND KINDLY TOWED MY VEHICLE OFF THE TOOL ROAD TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. IMAGES WERE TAKEN OF THE DAMAGE, BUT WE'RE TO BIG IN SIZE TO UPLOAD.

2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER HAD A PUNCTURED AND COLLAPSED LUNG, SEVEN BROKEN VERTEBRAE, THREE BROKEN RIBS, A BROKEN STERNUM, A CONCUSSION, AS WELL AS SPINAL INJURIES THAT RESULTED IN A PERMANENT SPINAL DEFORMITY CALLED KYPHOSIS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY.*JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER SRA TIRES, SIZE: P265/65/18 (NA). WHILE DRIVING BETWEEN 65-75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE TIRES WERE REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE DOT NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE VEHICLE AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,400.

IT HAS A SHAKE THAT IS MAKING ME NAUSEOUS AND SOMETIMES FEELING DIZZY. VERY NOTICEABLE 65 ~ 75 MPH SINCE NEW

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HD. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD JOLT FORWARD WHEN BRAKING. THE FUEL LEVEL WAS 3/4 FULL DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED AS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUNCTION WAS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

TRANSMISSION CANNOT FIND GEARS WHEN COASTING OR SLOWING DOWN AND THEN HITTING ACCELERATOR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HESITATES FOR SECONDS BEFORE FINDING THE RIGHT GEAR AND GOING, OR IT STAYS IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR INSTEAD OF DOWNSHIFTING TO ACCELERATE AND RATTLES. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. GM DOESN'T CARE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE RADIO AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY, THE RADIO WAS NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER A WHILE, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR EVALUATION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TRUCK SHAKES SEVERELY WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 70 MPH ON MANY DIFFERENT ROAD TYPES. THIS PROBLEM STARTED NOT TOO LONG AFTER I GOT MY TRUCK NEW. AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS IS "STANDARD 22 INCH WHEEL VIBRATION." AFTER I HAD ABOUT 35000 MILES ON IT THE VIBRATION GOT SO BAD I COULDN'T STAND TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TIRES WERE WORE OUT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS STILL PLENTY OF TREAD. HAD ANOTHER SHOP LOOK AT IT AND THEY FOUND ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS EVER SO SLIGHTLY BENT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO CONFIRM. THEY SOLD ME A NEW WHEEL, THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY OR CHANGE IN ANY WAY. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES AS THEY RECOMMENDED, PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE BUT NOT SO SEVERE UNTIL AFTER DRIVING A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE MORE MILES I PUT ON THE TIRES THE WORSE THE VIBRATION GETS. TOOK IT BACK INTO THE DEALER AGAIN RECENTLY, THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT'S STANDARD VIBRATION FOR 22 INCH WHEELS. I KNOW THIS IS BOGUS BECAUSE I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME WHEELS AND TIRES THAT DON'T HAVE THE SHAKING PROBLEM, THEY CAN DRIVE AS FAST AS THEY WANT AND IT'S SMOOTH. EVERYBODY THAT RIDES WITH ME ASKS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. HOW CAN I CONVINCE THE DEALER THAT THERE IS AN ACTUAL PROBLEM?

I bought my 2015 Silverado Z71 LT new in 2015, after a few months I started experiencing the "chevy shake", I took it back and they replaced the tires saying its fixed. It didnt fix it, after getting ready to call and go back it stopped doing it. Throughout the years it has done it off and on, I have had the driveshaft balanced, 3 sets of wheels and 5 sets of tires, U-joints, both fron CV Axles, bearings and bushings in the differential, transmission checked and fluids and filter changed, still does it. The truck only has 38,850 miles, I saw that there is a class action lawsuit against GM for knowingly selling these vehicles with bad driveshafts or transmissions. I will have it back in the shop Tuesday 9/24/24 to have them look again.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LTZ WITH A 5.3 LITER MOTOR THE RPM OF THE ENGINE ACT ERRATIC, IT WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE RPM AT WILL, I WOULD SAY THAT IT SURGES ABOUT 75 TO 150 RPM, IT ESPECIALLY DOES THIS GOING UPHILL. IT IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT ACTS IN THIS MANNER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE WAY YOU WANT TO DRIVE, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL, WHICH I KNOW IT IS NOT NORMAL, GM NEEDS TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

IGNITION SWITCH AND KEY CAME OUT OF STEERING COLUMN WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I PULLED OFF ROAD AND PARKED, THE IGNITION SWITCH INTERNALS AND KEY CAME OFF IN MY HAND. NOT ABLE TO SHUT ENGINE OFF. CALLED ONSTAR, THEY COULD NOT SHUT OFF ENGINE. TRUCK WAS FLATBEDDED TO DEALER WHILE STILL RUNNING. RISK OF STEERING WHEEL LOCKING CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. STEERING WHEEL MAKES CLATTERING NOISE NOT CONNECTED TO WHEELS AT TIMES. INSTRUMENTS DIMMING AND FLASHING WHEN TURNING WHEEL AT TIMES

OCTOBER 31, 2014 ON MY HOME FROM WORK I HEARD A BANG. THE TRUCK PULLED VERY HARD TO THE LEFT TAKING ME INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER THAT DIVIDES THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION US HIGHWAY 41/45 65 MPH. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS INVESTIGATED AT THE DEALER TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE DAMAGE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE LEFT REAR AXEL WAS BROKEN. QUESTIONING THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOT GETTING ANYWHERE I TALKED TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT I KNOW AFTER A WEEK OR SO IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECAL FOR INSUFFCIENT HEAT TREATED REAR AXLES TALKING TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THIS DID NOT PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE AS THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF AT THE FACTORY. I CANTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I HAD GIVEN THE OK FOR THE DEALER TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD NEED TO FOLE PAPER WORK AGAINST CHEVROLET WHICH MYSELF I BELIEVE IS WRONG . I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER BROKEN AXLE WAS TYPICAL OF THIS KIND OF IMPACT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE ON THE SIDE PANEL OR REAR OF THE TRUCK I DO HAVE PICTURES ON MY PHONE WHICH I HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED TO MY COMPUTER.

ON OCTOBER 24, 2015 WHILE FOLLOWING MY WIFE HOME ON HWY 182 BETWEEN WEST PASCO AND RICHLAND MY TRUCK EXPERIENCE WHAT FELT LIKE A TIRE BLOWOUT ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. I WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 70 MPH. THE ROAD WAS LEVEL AND FLAT WITH NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE OUT MY TIRE WITH THE SPARE, THINKING THAT THE TIRE HAD A LARGE BOLT OR NAIL IN IT. TO MY SURPRISE, THE TIRE WAS INTACT WITH NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. THE FACTORY RIM HAD FAILED. HERE ARE THE FACTS OF THE SITUATION: '2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LT Z71 WITH 12,366 MILES 'SMOOTH HIGHWAY SURFACE ON A CLEAR DAY TRAVELING STRAIGHT AT 70 MPH WITH NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD 'NOT HAULING OR TOWING 'SINGLE OCCUPANT IN VEHICLE 'THE TIRE IS INTACT (NOT DAMAGED AT ALL) 'NO DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL OR TIRE OR ANY OTHER PART OF THE VEHICLE 'SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT REAR RIM 'RIM IMPACTED THE BRAKE SYSTEM HARD ENOUGH TO BEND PARTS AND CAUSE LEAKING OF BRAKE FLUID

QUOTED GAS MILEAGE FOR V6 MODEL WAS 25/19, I AM ONLY GETTING 19 MILES PER GALLON. I CHOSE THE V6 DUE TO BETTER GAS MILAGE BUT I'M GETTING LESS MILAGE THAN THE V8 MODEL.

POOR HEADLIGHTS, WON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE POOR ILLUMINATION

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED EXTENSIVELY IN THE FRONT. UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS LESS SHAKING, BUT THE STRONG VIBRATION CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BED COVER WAS AFTERMARKET AND THE WIND WAS CAUSING THE STRONG VIBRATION AND SHAKING TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

SO DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE YOLK ON THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE LAG IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND ENGINE COMMUNICATION LEADS TO EXTREME VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CLUNKING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THERE IS A DELAY IN THE MOTOR RECOGNIZING IT SO IT REVS UP SOME SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY FINDS THE GEAR IT CAUSES IT TO KICK. AND SINCE THE YOLK HAS PLAY IN IT, IT CAUSES THE DIFFERENTIAL TO CLUNK AS THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVESHAFT CATCHES UP AT A QUICKER RATE. WHICH LEADS TO MORE LOOSENESS IN THE YOKE AND CREATES A WOBBLE IN THE DRIVESHAFT. AND AN UNSETTLING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AROUND.

ON MONDAY OCTOBER 5, 2015, I WAS DRIVING TRUCK AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY ALL ELECTRONICS WENT BLACK AND COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER ON HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OF TO SIDE OF ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF POSITION (ENGINE WAS NOT RUNNING) AND WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES THEN TURNED TRUCK ON AND IT STARTED. THE TRACTION LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND OFF BUT THE TRUCK DID NOT LOOSE POWER AGAIN-THANKFULLY. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND PREVENTED THE CONTACT FROM SEEING THE ROAD. THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS, WHICH WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH EITHER. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LIGHTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 700.

VIBRATION IN STEERING WHEEL BETWEEN 45-50 MPH ALSO INCREASED VIBRATION WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. VIBRATION WORSE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 65-75 MPH. VIBRATION ALSO INCREASES WHEN GOING AROUND CURVE. BEEN TO DEALER KEEP BLOWING ME OFF

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS AN ENGINE MISFIRE PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE STALLING WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE HAD RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER MCLARTY DANIAL CHEVROLET (1159 N 45TH ST, SPRINGDALE, AR 72762) AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE VALVE LIFTERS AND FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT TWO VALVE LIFTERS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 8,400.

HAD BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SHAKING/SHIMMYING/SPUTTERING. WAS PULLING ONTO A COUNTY HIGHWAY OFF OF A RESIDENTIAL TYPE ROAD (AFTER PICKING UP GRANDDAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL - SHE WAS IN TRUCK) AND TRUCK BOGGED DOWN & WOULDN'T GO. INTERSECTION IS AT TOP OF HILL AND AROUND A CORNER. WAS CLEAR WHEN I STARTED PULLING OUT, BUT WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRUCK BEFORE I GOT MY TRUCK TO GET ON ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. HAS BEEN IN SHOP TWICE TO FIX IT. FIRST TIME TO DOUBLE TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT DIDN'T WORK. NEXT TIME A FEW WEEKS LATER, A TECHNICIAN HOOKED UP A COMPUTER TO MY TRUCK SO HE COULD MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS WHILE RIDING WITH ME. HE FELT THE ISSUES AND SAID HE SAW SEVERAL PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP ENDED UP REPLACING TORQUE CONVERTER. ALSO REPLACED VLOM MANIFOLD - WHATEVER THAT IS? THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON WORK ORDER. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I BELIEVE THERE ARE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS TRUCK'S TRANSMISSION ALREADY. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

THE TRUCK HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS HAVE VERIFIED THE PROBLEM, GM FIELD ENGINEERS VERIFIED THERE IS AN ISSUE, AND THE ENGINEER RECOMMENDED THE DEALER CHANGE REAR END PARTS, STILL NO FIX. TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS FELT ROADFORCE BALANCING THE TIRES WOULD HELP; IT HAS NOT. THE TRUCK ALSO MAKES A CHIRPING NOISE WHEN TRANSITIONING FROM 4 CYLINDERS BACK TO 8 CYLINDERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS HAD A LOW PROJECTION DISTANCE AND OFFERED NO VISIBILITY ON THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE MANUFACTURER THAT THE HEADLAMPS MEET THE NHTSA STANDARDS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000. UPDATED 05/11/16*LJ UPDATED 05/17/16.*JB

THE RACK AND PINION IS MAKING NOISE WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IF IT FAILS THE STEERING WILL NO LONGER WORK. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THESE YEAR MODEL TRUCKS AND MY TRUCK ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES. THIS PART SEEMS TO HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE AND IS RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE ESPECIALLY IF IT FAILS MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH I HAVE READ HAPPENS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE LOW BATTERY WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHARGING GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED, INDICATING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECHARGING THE BATTERY WHILE HE WAS DRIVING INSTEAD OF STAYING CENTERED THEY WAY IT WAS DESIGNED. AT TIMES, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO JUMPSTART THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE BATTERY FAILURE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DAN VADEN CHEVROLET SAVANNAH (LOCATED AT 9393 ABERCORN ST, SAVANNAH GA 31406, 912-629-0200) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO KERRY CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 7500 ALEXANDRIA PIKE, ALEXANDRIA, KY 41001, 859-635-6400) WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED AGAIN THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT BOUGHT A DIFFERENT BATTERY BRAND FROM AUTO ZONE AND REPLACED THE BATTERY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF THREE BATTERIES REPLACED IN APPROXIMATELY FOUR YEARS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO AND IN THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT, WHILE DRIVING, THE TRUCK JUST SIMPLY COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND AFTER KEEPING TRUCK FOR DAYS STATED COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER REMOTES NOT WORKING AND TRUCK WARNING THAT EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RELEASED. COULD NOT GET TO REGISTER THAT EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS OFF AND WHILE DRIVING NONE OF THE TURN SIGNALS WERE WORKING AS TO TRUCK WARNING TO PULL OVER DUE TO VEHICLE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON. I HAVE ONLY MADE ONE PAYMENT ON THIS NEW VEHICLE AND TRUCK HAS ALREADY BEEN IN SHOP 2X .I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE AS DEALER NOT HELPING ME AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS TRUCK. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT TURNING OF OR ANYTHING ELSE AS TO BEING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK WITH SEVERAL MANAGERS AND ONE JUST STATED TO ME" THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE WARRANTY AND JUST KEEP EYE ON IT." SINCE ALL THIS I HAVE SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER SILVERADOS. . ED BOZART CHEVROLETT STILL CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS. PLEASE HELP ME. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIAL ACCIDENT ISSUE. THE FIRST ISSUED HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CRAIG ROAD WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD AS THIS IS A 45 MPH ROAD, LUCKILY IT WAS A WEEKEND AND NOT BUSY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. SPENDING OVER $40,000 ON THIS TRUCK NOT EXPECTING TO FEEL UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING.

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE SHAKING/VIBRATION IN THIS 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO AND, THUS FAR, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (MOST NOTABLE ABOVE 73 MPH) SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AUG 2015. AS THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, I CAN'T BE SURE THE ORIGIN IS OR IS NOT A SAFETY-REATED CONCERN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BALANCED, RE-BALANCED, ROTATED, AND ROAD PRESSURE TESTED TIRES TO NO AVAIL. EVEN TRIED A NEW SET OF TIRES OFF OF A 2016 MODEL TO NO AVAIL. AS THIS MATTER CONTINUES AND DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TIRE-RELATED, I'M WORRIED THAT THE ISSUE MAY BE IN THE SUSPENSION AND WILL, AT SOME POINT, CAUSE OR CREATE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL FOR APROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES TOWING A BOAT. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK TOTAL OF FIVE PASSANGERS. SUDDENLY I NOTICED A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. I DROVE FRO APPROXIMATELY FIVE MORE MINUTES THE I NOTICED THE BREAK PEDAL WAS GOING ALL THE WAY IN, THEREFORE I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAT IS WHEN I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BRAKES.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH WAY SPEED ( 70 MPH POSTED LIMIT ) AND MAKING A RIGHT HAND LONG SWEEPING TURN THE TRUCKS STEERING WOULD STICK OR LOCK IN THE TURN POSITION. THIS CONDITION WOULD REQUIRE A ME TO FORCE THE STEERING WHEEL BACK TO CENTER. AT THIS TIME THE CONDITION ONLY PRESENTS ITS SELF DURING HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND LONG GRADUAL RIGHT HAND TURNS. THIS HAPPEND 6 OR 8 TIMES ON MY 800 MILES TRIP. THE DEALER CAN NOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE AND AS A RESULT WILL NOT AGREE TO REPALCE ANY STEERING COMPONENTS AT THIS TIME. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES MANY OTHERS HAVE THIS SAME STEERING ISSUE WITH THEIR 2015 SILVERADOS WITH EPS STEERING AND THEIR DEALERS ARE ALOS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE AT PARKING LOT SPEED I MAY NOT EVEN CARE BUT AT 70MPH THEN IT HAPPENS IT GETS YOUR ATTENTION VERY FAST. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY CLAIM NO REPORT OF SUCH AN ISSUE. AS A RESULT I WANTED TO AT LEAST REPORT THE ISSUE SO IT IS A MATTER OF RECORD.

I UNERSTAND THAT YOU ARE ALREADY INVESTIGATING THE BRAKING BRAKING PROBLEM AT SLOW SPEEDS , I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME , CAN YOU PLEASE ADD ME TO YOUR COMPLAINT LIST , AND KEEP ME INFORMED OF ANY RESULTS , THANKS (XXXXX) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AFTER PARKING AND REMOVING KEY STEERING WHEEL DISCONNECTS FROM FRONT WHEELS , MAKES A RATTLING NOISE AS IF SOME METALLIC PART IS LOOSE AND THEN THEN JAMS, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ROTATE IGNITION KEY TO START TRUCK AGAIN. OTHER TIMES POWER STEERING ASSIST IS LOST AND TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO STEER.

USE THIS TRUCK FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES TO HAUL TRAILERS. TRUCK HAS TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING 4 TIMES. THREE WHILE DRIVING WITH TRAILER WHEN IT HITS ROUGH ROAD OR UNDER CONSTRUCTION ROAD AND TAKES HARD JOLT TO FRONT END. FIRST YOU ARE DRIVING, THEN YOU HIT BUMP OR DIP IN ROAD AND YOU NOTICE YOU HAVE NO STEERING, WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN YOU NOTICE WHOLE DISPLAY IS SHUT DOWN ( LIKE IT WAS NEVER ON) WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED. YOU HAVE TO PUT TRUCK INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING AND RESTART. LAST TIME IT HAPPENED HAD 30 FOOT TRAILER ON TRUCK AND WERE IN A DOWNHILL POSITION WITH A TURN AND NO STEERING CAPABILITY ( NO ANTILOCK OR TRAILER BRAKES BECAUSE THEY NEED ELECTRICITY TO OPERATE)AND 300 FT FROM GOING OFF EMBANKMENT AND THEN DROPPING 100FT INTO A GULLY. THE TRUCKS WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TURNS OFF SHUTTING DOWN EVERYTHING IN THE TRUCK. OWN 7 TRUCKS AND HAVE OWNED 20 PLUS TRUCKS OVER THE YEARS. I HAVE HAD DESIGN FLAW ISSUES AND JUST FLUKE ISSUES THAT JUST HAPPEN TO THAT ONE TRUCK. THIS REALLY SEEMS MORE LIKE A DESIGN FLAW, EITHER IN IGNITION WITH THEIR NEW KEYS ( HAVE A 2012, THIS IGNITION IS DEFIANTLY DIFFERENT) OR THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, OR MAYBE THEY ADDED SOME SENSOR THAT SHUTS TRUCK OFF IF IN A FRONT END IMPACT. IF I AM RIGHT THIS WILL KILL SOMEONE, THE TRUCK GIVES YOU NO WARNING BEFORE TURNING OFF AND MOST PEOPLE ARE UNAWARE THEY CAN SHIFT A CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART WHILE DRIVING AND SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE PULLING TRAILERS THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS NOT JUST FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSAGES OF THE VEHICLE BUT EVERY OTHER CAR OR TRUCK ON THE ROADWAY WITH IT. EXAMPLE OF THIS, THE LAST TIME WHEN WE COULD NOT STEER AND COULD NOT GO WITH THE TURN OF THE ROAD, THERE WAS A CAR IN THE SECOND LANE AND THE TRAILER WENT INTO THAT LANE, THE CAR HAD TO MAKE EVASIVE MANUVIERS TO AVOID IMPACT WITH TRAILER.

I AM IN A SITUATION WHERE I BOUGHT A 2015 DIESEL TRUCK AND TWO WEEKS LATER IT BROKE DOWN OUT OF STATE IN COLORADO WHILE ON VACATION. WE SPENT THE NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AS THE TRUCK WAS IN LIMP MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE OUT OF STATE DEALER PRESSURED US INTO GETTING THEIR NEW DIESEL TRUCK BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE DIESEL EXHAUST IN 9 HOURS WE WAITED AT THE DEALERSHIP STRANDED. THE TRUCK WAS 15K MORE THAN THE FIRST TRUCK BUT I AM UPSET THEY MADE US RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 1800 MILES ON THE NEW TRUCK THAT BROKE DOWN A WEEK AFTER BUYING IT! THE SECOND TRUCK ALSO BROKE DOWN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER WITH THE SAME ENGINE CODES AS THE FIRST TRUCK. THIS IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT WITH THIS YEARS DIESEL AND WE SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED. WE NEED HELP ASAP AS WE ARE BEING STRONG ARMED INTO THE SECOND TRUCK AS THE FIRST DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO DO A BUY BACK OF THE ORIGINAL NEW TRUCK THAT BROKE DOWN IN COLORADO AND LEFT US STRANDED. THE FIRST DEALER NOR THE SECOND DEALER DID NOT OFFER US ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE, LOANER VEHICLE OR OFFER US ANY TYPE OF RESOLUTION WHILE WE WERE STUCK AT THE DEALERSHIP. I OPENED A GM CASE 5 DAYS AGO AND STILL HAVE NOT HAD ANY RESOLVE AND THE SECOND TRUCK IS STILL AT THE CHEVY DEALER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT. THE DEALERSHIPS SAY ITS A GM ISSUE BUT THEY REPRESENT THEM AND ALSO HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE OUR LOAN FAIR GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OR PUT US IN A NEW TRUCK. WE DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT THEY ROLL IN THE NEGATIVE EQUITY OF 5K IN OUR LOAN AS PER THE GM TODD AT FREEWAY CHEVY HE TOLD ME THERE ARE KNOWN ISSUES WITH THESE DIESEL TRUCKS AND THAT I AM NOT THE FIRST CUSTOMER TO EXPERIENCE THESE PROBLEMS. THEY ARE STILL SELLING THEM THOUGH AND NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS BY OFFERING SOLUTIONS INSTEAD OF PASSING THE BUCK. OUR GM CASE NUMBER IS PLEASE HELP.

PURCHASED THE 2015 SILVERADO 1500 NEW ON 08/04/2015. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO USE THE HEADLIGHTS I NOTICED THE LACK OF LIGHT OUTPUT ON THEM. I TRADED IN A 2011 KIA SEDONA AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FAR SUPERIOR TO THEM. MY 2006 HYUNDAI HAS BETTER LIGHTS. IM NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE, DEALER IS AWARE OF IT AND HOPEFULLY WILL FIX SOON.

HAS A VIBRATION AT 65, TURNS INTO A BAD SHAKE AT 75.

NEW TRUCK, 15372 MILES, NO OFF ROADING OR ROUGH SURFACE DRIVING. PULLS TO THE RIGHT. CONCERNED ABOUT SUSPENSION/STEERING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. TWO CHEVY DEALERS HAVE LOOKED AT THE ISSUE WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THERE IS NO REASON OTHER THAN MANUFACTURING ERROR THAT WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM. BOTH CHEVY DEALERS HAVE REPORTED THAT THE TIRES ARE IN GOOD CONDITION AND ONE DID AN ALIGNMENT. THE ALIGNMENT,I PAID FOR,DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I USE THE VEHICLE TO PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER AS IT IS DESIGNED FOR. CHEVY,IN MY OPINION, IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO MY CONCERNS. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT LOOSING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL/STEER THE VEHICLE IF THE UNIDENTIFIED ISSUE IS NOT DISCOVERED OR RESOLVED BY CHEVY. I PROPOSE THAT DEFECTIVE PARTS,OR TIRES HAVE BEEN USED ON THE VEHICLE WHEN BUILT AND THEY ARE FAILING. SINCERELY THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE PULLED THE RIGHT. UPDATED 10/15/15*JB *TR

IF YOU GO PAST 80 THE TRUCK WHISTLES LIKE A SIREN. PLEASE HELP ME I TRAVELALLOT AND HAVE KIDS IN

THE TRUCKS HAVE A VIBRATION THAT IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, FLOOR, SEATS, ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS ETC. WHILE DRIVING. THE MAJOR CONSENSUS IT THAT THE WORST SPEED IT 76 MPH, YET IT IS FELT TO A LESSER DEGREE AT ANY SPEEDS, WITH SOME BEING WORSE THAN OTHERS. THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF TRUCKS WITH THIS ISSUE, YET GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT BEGAN WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF PURCHASING MY TRUCK. I FOUND PEOPLE FIRST REPORTING THE ISSUE IN 2015, AND MORE RECENTLY IT CONTINUES WITH THE 2015 AND 2016 MODEL YEARS.

DRIVE SHAFT IS OUT OF BALANCE CAUSING IT TO SHIMMY ON THE HIGHWAY, CALLED GM SEVERAL TIME NO RESPONSE TO PROBLEM TOKK BACK TO KUPPER CHEVY IN MANDAN ND THEY WON'T FIX NEEDS NEW DRIVE SHAFT BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE 5000 MILE NOW HAS 54000 AND STILL WILL NOT FIX

THIS IS THE 10TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND 3RD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS ENTERED THE SERVICE CENTER. OWN A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB Z71, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT TURN OVER, INDICATING THAT THERE IS A THEFT DETERRENT ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR ERROR CODE. THE SECOND TIME SEVERAL ERROR CODES WERE PRESENT, WHICH THE DEALER RESET. THIS APPEARED TO FIX THE ISSUE, UNTIL 1 MONTH LATER THE ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE DEALER ON IT'S THIRD REPAIR ATTEMPT. THIS CAN BE VERY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE SINCE IN AN EMERGENCY NEED THE VEHICLE COULD BE INCAPABLE OF BEING DRIVEN.

UPDATED 05/24/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE LOWBEAMS DO NOT WORK ON EITHER SIDE. *TR

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON ANY ROADS THE VISIBILITY WITH THE LOW BEAMS IS TERRIBLE! THE HIGH BEAMS ARE WHAT THE LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING IN THE DISTANCE OR ON THE SHOULDER. I HAVE BOUGHT CHEVY VEHICLES FOR 44 YEARS AND AM HEADING OUT TO TRADE MY 2015 SILVERADO IN FOR A DODGE. IT' S THE SAFEST THING I CAN DO SINCE CHEVY SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS WHILE DRIVING. MAINLY ON THE HIGHWAY. BEEN TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS WITH NO RESOLUTION TO MY ISSUES! DON'T FEEL SAFE WITH DRIVING THE TRUCK I THINK MY CHEVY HAS THE A CASE OF THE CHEVY SHAKES! PLEASE HELP ME

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD DURAMAX CREW CAB LT FROM AUTO NATION OF PEMBROKE PINES FLORIDA AND AT ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO OF DRIVING IT I STARTED TO NOTICE A BUMP/CLUNK FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK JUST AS I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT ALSO DOES IT JUST APON A STRONG ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 500 MILES ON IT WHEN I STARTED TO NOTICE THIS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT ABOUT 4K MILES AND TOLD THE SERVICE GUY WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE SAID THEY WOULD TEST DRIVE IT. WHEN I PICKED IT UP HE SAID THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I THINK IT'S THE SLIP YOKE STICKING AND NEEDS TO BE LUBRICATED OR REPLACED. SOME OF THE OLDER TRUCK HAD THIS ISSUE.

THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FULL FRONTAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE ENTERED THE ROADWAY. THE 2015 SUFFERED EXTENSIVE FRONT DAMAGE AND WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. GM WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE NONE DEPLOYMENT. GM SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INVESTIGATE THE NONE DEPLOYMENT. AFTER THE INVESTIGATION GM NOTIFIED ME THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AND THAT THERE WASN'T ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. I KEPT ALL CORRESPONDENCE FROM GM BECAUSE I FELT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS LISTED IN A RECENT RECALL FROM GM CONCERNING AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING.

I APPLIED THE BRAKES FIRMLY FOR A CAR STOPPING SHORT UNEXPECTEDLY ON THE HIGHWAY. I RELEASED THE BRAKE FOR A SECOND OR TWO TO ALLOW ROOM FOR THE CAR BEHIND ME TO STOP IN TIME. WHEN I REAPPLIED THE BRAKE THE SECOND TIME, THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO BRAKING ACTION. THE PEDAL DID NOT MORE AND DID NOT TRAVEL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO POWER ASSIST. I WAS ABLE TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM LATER AT LOW SPEED WHEN THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHO COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BUT REPLACED THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. THE CONDITION HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED SINCE THE REPAIR WAS MADE IN MAY. I HAVE INCLUDED A COPY OF THE SERVICE INVOICE. I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE I SEE ON THE NEWS YOU ARE INVESTIGATING BRAKE ISSUES.
