2015 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER SMALLER VEHICLE PUSHING ME INTO A MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME. ON INITIAL IMPACT, THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS DISLODGED FROM THE MOUNTING FRAME. WHEN I HIT THE MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SHOULDER SEAT RESTRAINT DID NOT ENGAGE CAUSING MY EYE TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BELT NOT ENGAGING AND THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED ENOUGH DAMAGE, INCLUDING FRAME DAMAGE, THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. IT WAS 6 WEEKS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE ACCIDENT WHO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. I BELIEVE THE SEAT MOUNTING FAILED, THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO PROPERLY DEPLOY AND THE SHOULDER RESTRAINT SIGNIFICANTLY FAILED. I HAVE PICTURES INDICATING THE SEATBELT FULLY EXTENDED, BUT DID NOT ENGAGE, AND WILL NO LONGER RETRACT. STATE FARM IS HOLDING THE VEHICLE PENDING A POSSIBLE INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED IN EXCESS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS, PART OF THE TRANSMISSION, AND MULTIPLE OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT A VERY LOW SPEED, "HAUL GEARS" DISPLAYED ON THE MESSAGE BOARD AS THE VEHICLE SWITCHED INTO A LOW GEAR INDEPENDENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

My truck shakes frequently going down the road at certain speeds. I've had it for around 6 years now and I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. I've had the truck in for maintenance/service at the dealership as well as other auto shops trying to diagnose the problem. I've had new tries, new brakes, countless tire rotations, wheel balancing etc you name it. And the problem persists. Recently after hearing about the "Chevy Shake" I've come to realize that my problems are just like what others have too. Now my powertrain has given out. And my extended warranty has ended. I truly believe that the issues have caused, or are caused by this prevailing issue of a wobbling drive shaft. Every time I have had it in for repairs the issue still persists and I can't always get the time to go back and have it looked at it again. It is a safety issue above all else and I truly believe GM knows about it but does nothing. Even more to the point, I had a "transmission fluid flush" just under a month ago and now all of a sudden my truck doesn't shift like it should. They say it will cost over 5 thousand dollars to get repaired. There is something seriously wrong here. This is an ongoing issue, and again it is difficult to say when it started. But a vehicle going down the highway at speed limit and shaking is a safety concern.

I WAS STATIONARY, WAITING FOR ON COMING TRAFFIC TO CLEAR SO I COULD TURN LEFT WHEN I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A VEHICLE DOING AT LEAST 70. I WAS THROWN INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC WHERE I WAS THEN HIT IN THE FRONT. THE CAB FILLED WITH A WHITE POWDER LIKE SMOKE BUT THE AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY TRUCK WAS TOTALED ON A FM ROAD WHERE I RECEIVED INTERNAL INJURIES WHICH I'M STILLING TRYING TO GET HEALED. ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON MAY 3, 2016

AC CONDENSER LEAKS

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ROUGH ,SOMETIMES WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE IT BANGS LOUD ,THINKING THE DRIVE SHAFT IS GOING TO FALL OUT, WHEN DRIVING THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION JERKS NOTHING SMOOTH ABOUT IT SHIFTING

THE REAR HEADREST OF THE CREW CAB ARE TO SMALL AND DO NOT RAISE UP HIGH ENOUGH TO PROTECT THE HEAD OF ANYONE IN THE REAR SEAT. THERE IS ALSO NO CENTER HEAD REST FOR THE REAR SEAT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I WISH I HAD REALIZED BEFORE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP. AT LEAST OFFER US THE OPTION TO PURCHASE LARGER HEADREST FOR THE REAR SEAT. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 HOURS. THE DOOR WAS OPENED AND AS WE OPENED THE DOOR THE ENTIRE REAR WINDOW EXPLODED. THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO CHIPS OR CRACKS IN THE REAR GLASS. IT SIMPLY EXPLODED WHEN THE DOOR OPENED. *TR

COMBO 4 PIN AND 7 PIN TRAILER CONNECTION IS UPSIDE DOWN. THIS MAY RESULT IN THE LOSS OF TRAILER LIGHTS AND BRAKES. WITH CONNECTION UPSIDE DOWN THE 7 PIN DOOR WILL NOT HOLD PLUG IN TIGHTLY AND CAUSE THE BRAKE AND GROUND PINS TO POSSIBLE DISCONNECT. LOOSING BRAKES WHILE PULLING A HEAVING LOAD IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLUG NEEDS TO BE INVERTED TO ENSURE THE DOOR LATCH HOLDS THE PLUG AT THE HIGH POINT AND WEIGHT OF THE CORD HOLDS THE PLUG IN TIGHTLY DEALER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND GM ENGINEER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE.. NEITHER HAS YET TO FIX. SAME DESIGN EXISTS ON 2013 AND 2014 SILVERADO'S 1500, 2500 AND 3500.

My 2015 Silverado frame has rusted through badly. It's available for inspection. I currently have 74,000 miles on it. My GM dealer said the rust is so bad that I shouldn't pull anything and if I had an accident the frame would fold like an accordion. It is unsafe to drive. If the frame were to break when I'm driving, it could cause an accident with someone else. No one else has inspected it. I purchased it December 2014. I noticed a rust problem soon after. I took it to my GM dealer, and they said there is a bulletin No. P10564K, to fix it. I also attached the service invoice. The fix didn't last a year and I was back at the dealer. They did it again and for several years, until they couldn't because of lack of workers, due to covid. They said they would call when available, but never did. I took it in for service last month and that's when the dealer said I needed a new frame because it had rusted through, and it was rusted bad elsewhere. There is actually a hole rusted through. I've attached photos. The dealer said he has never seen it so bad in my year truck. I contacted GM and they said it was due to road salt and not covered. I've owned around eight GM trucks and cars, and I've never had a problem like this to a frame. There are many complaints about this online. One person said "The Chevy Silverado frame recall was issued due to the frame missing an anti-rust component in the metal that should have been included when the vehicle was made. The frames on them are known to rust excessively and can cause damage to the other components and make the frames weaker." I think GM should be forced to issue a recall on these frames. I can't afford to buy another truck and it's the only vehicle I have. Thank you.

WHEN DRIVING 68MPH OR ABOVE THE WHOLE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATES LIKE A WHEEL IS OUT OF BALANCE. I WAS TOLD BY A CHEVY DEALER THAT THE DRIVE SHAFT IS WOBBLING & THAT'S CAUSING THE VIBRATION. AND GM SAYS IT'S NORMAL.

Front seat belts tensioners are not recoiling the seat belts. The seat belt tensioners are not retracting when exiting the vehicle causing lashing buckle to get pinned between the door and door frame. I was told by GM customer service that some vehicles were recalled but my vehicle was not on the list. The problem has always existed which can be proven by door frame dents caused by seat belt tensioners.

MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM THE OWNER OF THE 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LT THAT I LEASED ON JANUARY 31, 2015 FROM HUNTINGTON CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 370 OAKWOOD RD, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY 11746 (877) 415-8697. I NOTICED IN MARCH WHEN THE WEATHER STARTED GETTING WARMER THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO NEW ROCHELLE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 291 MAIN ST, NEW ROCHELLE, NY 10801 (914) 730-9960 TO HAVE THE A/C SERVICED, AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO FREON. AFTER HAVING THE FREON PUT INTO THE A/C SYSTEM I NOTICED VERY STRONG FUMES COMING INTO THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK INTO NEW ROCHELLE CHEVROLET TWICE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM SOLVED. I HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK TO VALIDATE THE SERVICE. THE 2 SERVICES AT NEW ROCHELLE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SMELL IS UNBEARABLE AND POSSIBLY TOXIC, AND STILL COMING INTO THE CABIN AS OF TODAY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHILE TRAVELING WITH THE RADIO ON, THE RADIO VOLUME WENT OFF. OTHER RADIO INFORMATION ON THE VIDEO SCREEN APPEARED NORMAL. ONSTAR VOLUME WAS ALSO OFF. ALSO WHEN SEAT BELTS WERE DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING THERE WAS NO AUDIBLE SIGNAL. AFTER STOPPING AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. *TR

AFTER SITTING FOR TWO DAYS, I WENT OUT TO START MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TO DRIVE TO TOWN AND IT WAS DEAD - NO POWER, LIGHTS, HORN, IGNITION, NOTHING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABSOLUTELY STONE COLD DEAD. HAVING TWO DECADES IN THE CAR RESTORATION BUSINESS, I GRABBED MY BATTERY CHARGER AND HOOKED IT UP AND CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR 4 HOURS. ATTEMPTING TO START THE SILVERADO AGAIN RESULTED IN THE SAME THING - STONE COLD DEAD. I SWAPPED THE BATTERIES TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE STILL WASN'T POWERING UP. I LOOKED FOR BLOWN FUSES, LOOSE CONNECTORS, ALL WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER 106 MILES AWAY. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER ADVISED IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER A JUMP START. MY REPLY WAS THAT IS SIMPLY INCORRECT AND I REPEATED THE STEPS I WENT THROUGH. THEY REPLIED THEY WISHED TO KEEP IT FOR A FEW DAYS. ULTIMATELY I HAD TO TRADE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE TRUCK WASN'T DESIGNED TO OPERATE IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT. MY REPLY WAS THAT I BOUGHT IT TO USE ON MY RANCH AND THEY KNEW THAT TO BEGIN WITH. THEY ADVISED THE DUST PERMEATED THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, AND HUMAN INTERFACE AND TODAY'S TRUCKS SIMPLY ARE DESIGNED FOR THAT.

TRUCK SHAKES AT SPEEDS AT 55 TO 65 MILES PER HOUR.

AFFECTS ALL CURRENT CHEVROLET VEHICLES CURRENTLY SOLD INTO THE USA. CHEVROLET HAS BEGUN USING THE BACKUP LAMPS (REVERSE LIGHTS) TO ILLUMINATE THE AREA AROUND THE VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND NOT IN REVERSE GEAR; TYPICALLY WHEN THE DRIVER IS ACCESSING & EGRESSING THE VEHICLE, OR HAS ACTUATED THE DOOR LOCK REMOTE. THE RESULT IS A VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE REVERSING, OR ABOUT TO REVERSE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT CAPABLE OF MOVEMENT. APPROACHING VEHICLES ASSUME THE CHEVROLET IS ABOUT TO MOVE, YET ARE UNABLE TO VERIFY THE DRIVER CAN SEE THEM AND SO CAN'T PROCEED WITHOUT ESCALATING IMPACT RISK; THOSE WHO DO PASS WILL FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE POTENTIAL MOVEMENT OF THE CHEVROLET RATHER THAN SCANNING FOR GENERAL PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. IN ADDITION, USE OF BACKUP LIGHTS IN THIS MANNER CAN TEACH CHILDREN TO DISREGARD BACKUP LIGHTS AS A POTENTIAL MOVEMENT INDICATOR, AND INCREASES THEIR CHANCES OF RUNOVER BY WALKING BEHIND A VEHICLE THAT IS TRULY IN REVERSE AND ABOUT TO MOVE. ACCORDING TO FMVSS 108 THE USE OF BACKUP LAMPS SHALL COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SAE STANDARDS SUCH AS: SAE J387 APR2014 3.4.1 BACKUP FUNCTION A LIGHTING DEVICE USED TO PROVIDE ILLUMINATION BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND TO PROVIDE A WARNING SIGNAL TO PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER DRIVERS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BACKING UP (REVERSING) OR IS ABOUT TO BACK UP. 3.4.2 BACKUP LAMP(S) (REVERSING) LAMP OR LAMPS PROVIDING THE BACKUP FUNCTION; MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A ?REVERSING LAMP? IN ECE REGULATIONS.(ALSO LISTED AS A ROAD ILLUMINATION DEVICE). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE PRECEDING INTO AN INTERSECTION AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, THE VEHICLE OPERATED AS NORMAL. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE IGNITION KEY ERRONEOUSLY MOVED FROM THE RUN TO THE AUXILIARY POSITION AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

7 PIN TRAILER CONECTOR IS MAUFACTURES AND INSTALL UPSIDE DOWN ON ALL SILVERADO TRUCKS SINCE AT LEAST 2014 AND POSSILBLY 2013. THE DOOR HOLDS THE PLUG IN; HOWERVER THE DOOR FLIPPING DOWN THE PLUG AND BOUCE AND BECOME DISCONNECTED. THIS CONNEXTION PLAYS A VITAL ROLEINLIGHTS AND BRAKING. BOTH CAN AND WILL BE LOST GM EGINEERS ARE ARWARE OF THE ISSUE HOWEVER ARE NOT FIXINGIT

WHEN SHIFTING INTO GEAR TRANSMISSION MAKES LOAD NOISE.

Service trailer brake system warning will come up on screen when there’s nothing wrong with it. It is completely random and distracts you from driving with 3 loud chimes and no way to change to volume of the chimes. Most times it will come on 5-10 times in a row and then go away. I’ve tried fixing it like countless others but no success. The chimes are so loud and distracting it causes headaches and frustration

I HAD BOB HOOK CHEVROLET INSTALL RUNNING BOARDS INCORRECTLY AND WENT ANOTHER DEALER TO BE TOLD THEY ARE INCORRECTLY INSTALLED DAMAGING VEHICLE AND MISSING PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HD. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 8,000. UPDATED 11/12/15*LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, IT WOULD SHIFT OUT OF PARK INDEPENDENTLY AND ROLL APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 6 INCHES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500.

MY TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT IN DEC 2014 AND HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP PRETTY MUCH EVER SINCE. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I FELT A VERY SUBSTANTIAL VIBRATION AROUND 76+ MPH. INITIALLY, 2 TIRES WERE REPLACED AND BALANCED; THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THEN THE DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT GM SAID I HAVE TO PUT 500LBS IN THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND THE VIBRATION WILL STOP; THIS IS NOT EVEN REMOTELY PRACTICAL. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE TIRES HAVE BEEN ROTATED AND FORCE BALANCED SEVERAL TIMES THROUGHOUT THE PAST 2 YRS. IN JUNE 2016, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE TIRES WERE MOUNTED ON THE RIMS INCORRECTLY AND REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES AND BALANCED THEM; THE VIBRATION CONTINUED. AFTER TRYING TO SCHEDULE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP OVER THE SAME ISSUE, THEY WILL NO LONGER CALL ME BACK. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AT LEAST 8 TIMES WITHIN THE PAST MONTH TO NO AVAIL. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE INDICATED THE PROBLEM IS QUITE POSSIBLY THE DRIVE SHAFT B/C THE ENTIRE TRUCK VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THEREFORE, I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY TOLD ME I NEED TO ROTATE AND BALANCE THE TIRES. AFTER DISCUSSING THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK WITH THEM AND REQUESTED THE SERVICE DEPT. CHECK THE DRIVE SHAFT, THEY STATED THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID IT IS NOT THE DRIVE SHAFT (WHICH WAS NOT INSPECTED TO MY KNOWLEDGE) AND TOLD ME THE TIRES NEED TO BE FORCED BALANCED AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME. THIS DEALERSHIP REFERRED ME TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR ASSISTANCE. I HAVE BEEN FIGHTING THIS ISSUE FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS NOW AND CANNOT GET HELP. FURTHER, NEITHER OF THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE MADE ME AWARE OF THE BULLETIN AND HAVE NOT TRIED ANYTHING PAST THE REPLACING & BALANCING THE TIRES. THE VIBRATION IS SO BAD OTHER THINGS IN MY TRUCK ARE STARTING TO COME LOOSE AND VIBRATE.

HEADLIGHT,HIGH BEAM LENS ASSEMBLY FOGS UP PREVENTING OPTIMUM VISIBILITY,GM SAYS ITS NORMAL AND HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT. *TR

AFTER HAVING RAINS FOR ALMOST 3 DAYS STRAIGHT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, I FINALLY GOT SOME TIME TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE. UPON MOVING THE FLOOR MAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, I NOTICE THE CARPET WAS SOAKING WET. THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE NEAR THE FIREWALL ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE CABIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. LONG TERM, I AM AFRAID OF MOLD AND MILDEW ACCUMULATION AS WELL AS WATER AFFECTING ELECTRONICS. FRONT DRIVERS SEAT HAS A LOT OF SLOP IN IT. UPON ACCELERATING AND BRAKING, I CAN FEEL THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ROCK FORWARD AND BACKWARD SLIGHTLY. SEAT MAKES A CLUNKING/TAPPING NOISE. RADIO RECEPTION IS TERRIBLE. FM RADIO LOOSES SIGNAL STRENGTH AND SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE IN A CAVE. *TR

2500 HD TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL OEM TOWING/CAMPER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS EQUIPPED WITH RED TURN SIGNALS EMBEDDED IN MIRROR GLASS. RED TURN SIGNAL LED'S IMPAIR VISION AT NIGHT, AND SHINE DIRECTLY INTO DRIVERS EYES, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUTSIDE VEHICLE IN DIRECTION OF TURN. THE TURN SIGNAL LED'S ARE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT ANY SORT OF SHIELDING COATING IN MIRROR GLASS WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LED'S AS IS FOUND IN MOST OTHER INTEGRATED SIDE VIEW MIRROR TURN SIGNALS. *TR

WHEN SHIFTING THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK, IF THE TILT STEERING WHEEL IS IN THE FULL UP POSITION, AND THE SHIFT LEVER IS PULLED FULLY REARWARD SO AS TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, THEN THE SHIFT LEVER WILL HIT AND BE STOPPED FROM MOVING BY THE IGNITION KEY. IF YOU FORCE THE SITUATION BY PULLING BACK AND DOWN WITH MORE THAN NORMAL FORCE, THE KEY AND KEY SWITCH TAKES QUITE AN ABNORMAL LOAD FROM THE SHIFT LEVER. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL, BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE HAD REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THERE IS AN EASY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE HANDLE PART OF THE IGNITION KEY NEEDS TO BE SHORTER. IF THIS SITUATION IS NOT FIXED, I FEAR THAT THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH ASSEMBLY WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE DAMAGE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL VIBRATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

WHEN I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THE "STABILITRAK" WARNING CAME ON AND THE INDICATOR (CURSOR) THAT TELLS YOU WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN DISAPPEARED. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND OPENED THE DOOR TO RESET EVERYTHING. I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH THE "STABILITRAK" WARNING CAME ON AGAIN AND THE GEAR INDICATOR DISAPPEARED. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND OPENED THE DOOR. STARTED THE ENGINE AGAIN AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. DRIVING BEHIND TRAFFIC AT 20 MPH THE "STABILITRAK" WARNING CAME ON AGAIN, THE GEAR WARNING INDICATOR DISAPPEARED AND THE RPM'S WENT TO 3000 RPM. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. IF THE TRANSMISSION HAD SHIFTED TO A DIFFERENT GEAR THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DISASTER. *TR

DRIVING TOWING A TRAVEL TRAILER. FELT A VIBRATION. PULLED OVER AND NOTHING VISIBLE. RESUMED BUT ENGINE HAD NO POWER. 30 MPH MAX SPEED. CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY COULD FIND NO CODES. TRIED TO CONTINUE BUT NO ENGINE POWER BEYOND 30 MPH.. CALLED ONSTAR AGAIN AND THIS TIME THEY IDENTIFIED 2 CODES. DROPPED TRAILER AT A CHURCH PARKING LOT. TRUCK NOW IN REDUCED POWER MODE AND LEAKING LIQUID. ARRIVED AT A DEALER WHO IDENTIFIED PROBLEM AS RETURN FUEL LINE HAD BECOME DISCONNECTED. THEY RECONNECTED AND TRUCK RAN NORMALLY. APPROXIMATELY 20 GALLONS OF DIESEL FUEL HAD LEAKED DURING THIS 8 MILE ORDEAL. *TR

86K miles smelled gas. Dealer replaced one fuel injector on the 6 cylinder rail. At 108K miles, catastrophic engine failure caused by misfire in the #6 cylinder. No compression or diagnostic testing done at initial fuel injector replacement. It is now my understanding that it is good practice when replacing one fuel injector, all should be replaced. After truck was inoperable at 108K miles, ran a borescope into the 6 cylinder shaft and noticed massive wash and scoring. Goodwill from GM was denied for an engine swap. Subsequent diagnostic testing revealed low pressure in all cylinder heads. I don’t put a lot of miles on this truck per year and suspect the problem compounded over time without notice. There was gas mixture in the oil, however this issue was never brought to my attention during routine maintenance and oil changes. I know there were issues with the 6.2L and didn’t know of parallel or residual issues with the 5.3L. Long story short, I had to go with an engine swap on a truck with relatively low mileage.
