2015 SILVERADO clear coat peeling off wheels and not holding air I,m [XXX] if I need this truck in an emergency i,m stranded. Have contacted the dealer and gm both with no success the wheels were $2900. and they wanted me to pay $2300. for a truck that has 50,000 miles on it. it is clearly a safety issue driving down the road when they will not hold air. I filed a complaint in oct 2021 and oct 2024 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Driving on the freeway the right back wheel just broke off. The tire went flying across the freeway. No one was hurt physically but it could have been worse. The wheels were not customized or changed in any way. My husband, myself and our baby were inside.

AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, THE TRUCK SHAKES EXTREMELY BAD ON HIGHWAY, I NOTIFIED DEALER THE SAME DAY AND THEY HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION AFTER PERFORMING A ROAD FORCE TEST THAT THE WHEELS ARE EITHER BENT OR DAMAGED. THE SHAKE IS SO BAD IT IS HARD TO HOLD WHEELS STEADY AND TIRE ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OFF. THE DEALER IS STATING THAT THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE COST TO FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE DRIVEN BACK AND FORTH AN HOUR EACH WAY TO DEALER OVER 5 TIMES NOW AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE SITUATION. *TR

ON 3-18-19 AT APPROXIMATELY 1600 HOURS WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH ON I 84 NEAR NEWBURGH, NY. I WAS DRIVING A 2016 CHEVROLET 2500 SILVERADO (45,000 MILES) TOWING A 2019 GRAND DESIGN 5TH WHEEL RV. WE WERE TRAVELING IN THE TRAVEL LANE WHEN A PICKUP PULLED ALONGSIDE HONKING HIS HORN, THE DRIVER WAS POINTING AT THE CAMPER. I PULLED OVER AND DISCOVERED THE CABLE HOLDING UP MY SPARE TIRE BROKE, THE SPARE DROPPED TO THE PAVEMENT BOUNCING UNDER THE CAMPER. I DID A QUICK REPAIR GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY AND SPENT THE NIGHT IN A MOTEL. THE NEXT MORNING I SPENT 2 HOURS REPAIRING THE CAMPER ENOUGH TO GET IT TO OUR RESIDENCE IN MAINE. DAMAGE REPAIR BILL TO THE RV WAS $9100.00. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO QUIRK CHEVROLET BANGOR ME WHERE I PURCHASED IT NEW AND THEIR MECHANICS INSPECTED THE TIRE HOIST. THEY COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY THE CABLE FRAYED AND BROKE. THE SPARE WAS INSPECTED BEFORE OUR TRIP SOUTH IN FEB.AND WAS SECURELY IN PLACE WITH NO MOVEMENT. THE CABLE WAS IN NEW CONDITION WITH NO RUST. I DEALT WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE GAVE THEM ACCIDENT REPORTS AND ALL INFO NEEDED. MAY 5TH GM SENDS OUT ESIS FIELD INSPECTOR RON YEAGER. MR. YEAGER STATES HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE ON SUCH A NEW VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY A MONTH LATER I'M IN CONTACT WITH GM THEY DENY THE CLAIM FOR REPAIRS BUT HAVE NO EXPLANATION AS TO THE CAUSE. THIS SPARE TIRE SYSTEM ON GM TRUCKS HAS LONG BEEN KNOWN FOR ITS FAILURES. USUALLY THE CABLES RUST IN PLACE AND YOU CAN'T GET THE TIRE DOWN WHEN NEEDED. I'VE ALWAYS OWNED GM TRUCKS AND USUALLY PLACE THE SPARE IN THE TRUCK BED DUE TO THIS POOR SYSTEM. IF THE RV WAS NOT BEHIND MY TRUCK THAT 65LB SPARE COULD HAVE DONE SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLES/PERSONS TRAVELING BEHIND ME.

AT SLOW SPEED, WHILE MANEUVERING INTO A TIGHT PARKING SPOT, BRAKES ANTILOCK BRAKING KICKED IN AND MADE THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY STIFF AND PREVENTING APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ROLL FORWARD ALMOST HITTING THE PARKED CAR BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE ABS SENSOR AND BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE CHEVY MODELS AND RECALLS FROM ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. THIS TRUCK IS A MN VEHICLE.

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.

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.

I HAVE THE SPECIAL RALLY EDITION OF THIS TRUCK IN WHICH COMES WITH 22" BLACK ALUMINUM RIMS. AFTER 33K MILES AND 18 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP WITH ONLY ON ROAD DRIVING. 3 OF THE 4 LOW PROFILE RIMS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SIGNIFICANT CRACKING. AT FIRST THE SYMPTOM WAS VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THEN MY RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WOULD NOT HOLD A BEAD TO THE RIM. DURING THE INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT FRONT THE CRACK WAS NOTED AND THEN ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CHECK. THIS LEAD TO THE REPLACEMENT OF 3 OUT OF 4. I'M STILL WAITING FOR CHEVY TO CLARIFY IF THIS WILL BE A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE WAS DONE BY A AUTHORIZED DEALER. *TR

THE 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY COMES STANDARD WITH A GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2, SIZE: P275/55R20. THE WET AND DRY TRACTION OF THIS MODEL OF GOODYEAR TIRE IS POOR AT BEST. ON WET ROAD SURFACES, THE TIRES BREAK TRACTION ON CORNERS AND UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. SNOW TRACTION IS NON-EXISTENT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MUD AND SNOW RATED. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX20 TIRES, SIZE: P275/55R20 111S. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR TIRES WERE SEPARATING FROM THE TREAD IN CHUNKS OF RUBBER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO A LOCAL TIRE REPRESENTATIVE WHO DECLINED TO REPLACED THE TIRES UNLESS THE CONTACT PAID FOR THEM AND PROCESS THE REIMBURSEMENT THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TIRES. THE TIRES WERE NOT REPLACED. THE APPROXIMATE TIRE AND VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 IS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER LS-2 TIRES, IN SIZE 265/65R18. WHEN DRIVING IN WET WEATHER, TAKING A MILD RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURN CAN RESULT IN COMPLETE LOSS OF TRACTION, RESULTING IN THE TRUCK SPINNING 90 TO 180 DEGREES. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE DRIVING AT A SPEED THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD DEEM AS UNSAFE. IN WET WEATHER THE TIRES ACT AS THOUGH YOU ARE DRIVING ON ICE, VERY LITTLE WET WEATHER TRACTION, RESULTING IN THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS, AND HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THESE TIRES. I FEEL THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THE LACK OF WET WEATHER TRACTION WITH THESE TIRES.

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.

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
