2017 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

The truck will shut off without warning and lock all doors. The key fob/manual unlock or door unlock button will not unlock the doors. There is no way to get out.This has happened 3 times in the last year

There is a faulty weld on the radiator of my 2017 chevy silverado 1500 LT that cracked and began to leak coolant. Dealer stated that this is a common issue and there was no other remedy but to replace the radiator and coolant lines. i have seen bulletins and warranties for earlier models but the issue is still there.

When you put the truck in reverse, the rear back up camera display is always extremely bright, regardless of the setting of the dimmer switch or automatic dimmer settings. This causes a safety issue at night when backing up, as the driver's night vision is completely diminished as soon as you put the truck in reverse. The display becomes so bright the driver loses their night vison and is also unable to use their mirrors.

Brake vacuum pump has failed . Hard brake pedal brakes not stopping truck at low speeds. Have had to replace vacuum pump and brake booster

Hello- I'm constantly receiving a repetitive service trailer brake system chime while driving and/or in park which is very dangerous! The exact warning message that pops up on my screen constantly says: Trailer Brake System. I have 87,531 on my certificated pre-owned 2017 Chevy Silverado_Redline edition. Extensive research leads me to believe that the wire harness in between two of the body control modules is detective! I TRULY BELIEVE that GM/Chevrolet Corporation should be held accountable in recalling the DEFECTIVE low quality wire harness on all 2017 Chevy Silverado's. The distracting message puts every driver at risk and should be deemed extremely UNSAFE to drive. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I went outside and started my truck as I normally do. After a few seconds of the rear defroster being on I heard a sizzling noise behind me. I turned around and could see white smoke coming out and filling the truck w smoke. I quickly turned the rear defroster off and then the truck. The whole component has melted for the rear deforster and rear power window. The truck has less that 60,000 mi. After a quick Google search I learned this is apparently a known issue. This is an absolute safety hazard and needs to be addressed immediately. I shouldn't have to pay for a repair on the electrical wiring or faulty parts that were installed by the manufacturer.

Service trailer brake system is coming on due to faulty safety wire harness have heard of several of these incidents in the same model vehicle there should be a recall

Transmission only has 74+k miles

I am the owner of a 2017 Chevy Silverado with a little under 50000 miles. I have had an issue with the computer system occasionally re-booting while driving. Also, on occasion, I will get a warning on my display for "trailer braking system" for a fraction of a second. I have mentioned this a several service appointments and inspections, but the dealership was never able to pinpoint the problem. On the morning of Monday, February 28th, I dropped my children off at school, pulled up to the edge of the building and the "trailer braking system" warning flashed for a split second on my display. I proceeded to the stop sign. As I was making the turn into traffic, the computer seemed to have re-booted several times in the period of a few seconds. However, this time, my steering locked in place while making the turn, putting the front of my vehicle just over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic. The doors locked and unlocked several times, several chimes went off, the display flashed a few times, and then, after a couple of seconds, I was able to steer and pull back into my lane. I promptly called Chevy support to report the issue, as I believed this to be an important safety issue that Chevy would be extremely concerned with. I was disappointed to find that the operator was not interested in taking my information, she suggested that I contact the dealership for service, which I already was in the process of doing. I explained that I was calling to report a safety issue to Chevy, not to merely complain, and offered my VIN number. She reluctantly checked the last 8 digits of my VIN number for known recalls and again suggested I call for service. Dealership said that my power steering module needed calibration updates. But, they are not sure that this will solve my issue. I see many complaints like this online and Chevy is not proactively scanning for this computer issue even though it could be deadly in traffic, especially on the highway.

GM already has a recall for brakes going out at low speed this has happened multiple times on this vehicle but there's no recall according to this Vin, the second is the transmission shakes the entire vehicle violently at higher speeds, commonly known as the "chevy shake." Multiple dealers refuse to look at the truck charging upfront fees and saying there's nothing wrong with it since there are no warning lights or other sensors on or reporting any errors, both problems have been recalled on similar vehicles just not for this Vin #, a truck with no brakes can put many at risk

AC CONDENSER FAILED AT 51000 MILES DUE TO POOR WELD! "THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE FOR GM 2015-2017 MODELS". THERE HAS BEEN A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #17336-04 ISSUED BY GM FOR ESCALADE,SUBURBAN,TAHOE AND YUKON MODELS BUT NOT FOR TRUCKS. THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM. THE LEAKING OF THESE REFRIGERANTS IS TOXIC TO PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT AND HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.

While driving the vehicle I turned the rear window defrosted on. The rear window started smoking after 5 minutes of turning on rear defroster and filled the vehicle cabin with smoke. I immediately turned the rear defroster off and pulled off the side of the road and opened all the doors to air it out. I then went back in and turned the defroster back on to verify the rear window defroster was the issue. It instantly started smoking again and was scalding to the touch of the bottom right of the sliding window. I turned defroster off and waited about 20 minutes where I felt that it had cooled. After some research I found the TSB provided by GM. TSB # N192265660. I contacted GM customer service and they said there is nothing they can do and it will need to be fixed out of pocket. This is unacceptable as this may cause the window to blow out on passengers, or can cause a smoke inhalation issues. I had everything I could do the get the vehicle pulled over because I could not see. The truck is only has 56,000 miles on it.

Got out onto road tried to get truck up speed limit 55 and transmission just gave out leaving me coasting to a stop. Chevybhas tons of complaints on these trucks and only pay out of pocket solution

Transmission jerks,surges ahead,clunks when downshifting and is completely unpredictable.

I was at a drive through lane yesterday. My truck became hard to slow down and stop. I had to push the brake pedal very hard to stop to avoid crashing the car in front of me. I had to do the same on way home approaching stop signs and traffic lights. When turning to and park at our driveway, it was hard to make stop and park also. I heard some noise from power braking system and felt the truck shaking.

On 1/20/2022, my son & I were traveling I-80 east to NV. At approximately 130 miles, we noticed the engine was sputtering occasionally along the flat road. It got worse on a climb, but engine runs smoothly. It seems fine on a downhill, but on a flat road & on a climb the problem continues & was getting worse. We checked the spark plug connections to make sure they are tight & secured. After a brief refuel stop in Elko, NV, we proceeded to travel again and at approximately 4:30 am 5 miles from Elko, NV, the engine went to high revolution, oil pressure to the max, check engine light came on, and the speed suddenly reduced to 30mph, transmission will not shift/or could not go any faster. Things became scary as semi truck was barreling behind us at high rate of speed and we almost got rear-ended on an icy road. We exited immediately to the next exit (Exit 314) and parked at a Sinclair gas station and called for a tow. The truck was towed to Riverton Elko Chevy dealer. Further investigation revealed metal shavings at the bottom of the pan which means the truck requires new transmission. Initially we were told that the repair cost would be $2.8K to change the shift control solenoid, then $4K for solenoid & valve body, then $8.5 for new transmission. The truck only had 67K miles, just 5K above the warranty expiration. It was serviced early last year (45K) from the local dealership. Prior to that, I took the truck to the same dealership for brake problem/recall and after that, for another problem with speed hesitation, loud thud under the truck when moving, and sputtering. We currently have the truck at a local mechanic in Elko, NV for an upgraded transmission replacement. We chose to not use the Chevy Dealer as their quoted repairs did not seem ethical at the time. The Chevy Dealer was helpful after giving poor service and they did tow the truck to the local mechanic without charge to us. As per the mechanic this is a very common problem on this model.

In January 2022 the drivers seat belt latch broke in my Silverado. The seat belt would not engage into the latch, there was an internal part of the latch that broke and prevented the seat belt from engaging. Obviously this is a safety issue in addition to my State having mandatory seat belt laws so I was unable to drive my vehicle. I contacted General Motors Customer Service who said the defect was not covered under any warranty. I took the vehicle to the dealer I purchased the truck from and had the repair made. It cost $316.97 for the dealer to replace the driver side seat belt latch. I followed up with General Motors to see if the part had ben recalled or if they would pay for the repair to this integral part of the truck's supplemental restraint system. General Motors sent me a check for $16.97 which they said was a prorated amount towards the amount I paid to have the seat belt repaired. While there is no official recall of this part currently, there are many public forums where Silverado owners have complained about this part of the supplemental restraint system failing. In my opinion a seat belt system should never fail, especially on a truck as new as mine and with such low mileage. My truck was purchased new, has been garage kept and has never been involved in any accident. The truck only had 44,400 miles on it at the time of the repair. I find it hard to believe that General Motors would not cover the repair under the terms of the supplemental restraint warranty.

My 2017 Silverado cuts off on me while driving. Completely gos dead for a few minutes then it will regain power. It has cut off on me while on the road. That is extremely dangerous. Also I keep getting a message for to service trailer break system. Non stop messages and stabilitrak is another non stop message on my dash. This is how I've been driving for weeks now. It's a on and off thing.

At 45, 000 miles the check engine light came on with error code P025E Ventilation Regulator Valve Performance, which is a common issue. This valve can leak oil on the catalytic converter causing smoking.

Was involved in a T-bone intersection accident. The upper seatbelt tensioner on the passenger side of the my vehicle did not engage and and caused my passenger to strike the dash resulting in a badly broken arm (pins and plates to repair). The vehicle was a total loss was last located at the USAA lot in Yorktown Virginia. This information was relayed to the insurance company not sure what steps they have taken. There were no warning lights or know issues with the belt prior to the accident.

Backing up from my driveway, my brakes fail. The brake pedal was very hard, I had to pressed multiple times until vehicle came to a stop. It was a very scary moment almost rear ended car park on the street. I purchased this vehicle on 12/24/2021 From Antelope Valley Chevy in Lancaster Ca. Same day of the incident. 2017 Silverado. I try contacting the dealer but they’ve close already due to the holiday. Please help!

In the midst of rush hour traffic without any indication in a major interstate, 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT lost power as the engine reeved up and then check engine light came on. Once vehicle was carefully moved from interstate with citizens to the service road, engine running but would go into gears (D, R, L) without any movement. Transmission issues (p0700, p0796, etc... from OBD II). Vehicle has had routine maintenance on all oils as scheduled.

I was in a drive thru yesterday and couldn’t stop. I was traveling less than 5 mph, and the brake pedal was extremely stiff, I had to pump the brakes several times in order to stop the truck. At one point I had to place the truck in park in order to keep the truck from moving because the brake pedal wouldn’t hold the truck still. It happened a few more times on my way home in slow traffic. I almost crashed once.

At low speeds in like parking lots the brake pedal can not be push to stop the truck. There is a recall for this problem N192268490 but my vin # is not in the recall.

I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER REPAIRS DUE TO AN IMPACT WITH A DEER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE WEEKS. AFTER TRAVELING LESS THAN THREE (3) MILES, FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY/ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPING. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BUT HAD TO PARK THE TRUCK AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR THE CHEVY SILVERADO BUT MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALL SO I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE FOR MY VIN AND HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP ANOTHER TRUCK OWNER AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. IN THE EVENT THE RECALL IS EXPANDED TO OUR SILVERADO MODEL WE WOULD REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME REGARDING THE MATTER.

Was driving for 25 minutes in the truck. Temperature outside was around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I did not know the rear defroster was on. My son who was in the back seat smelled smoke and said that the truck was on fire. I pulled to the side of the road and looked in the back and could see the rear defroster on drivers side was glowing and emitting smoke. I looked at rear defrost light and it was on. I turned the rear defroster off to prevent any more current from going through the wire. Once we were sure there was no more smoke or fire we got back in the vehicle. About 300 seconds later the window shattered. If my son was not in the back seat and smelled smoke the back seat could have caught on fire. I called the dealer and they stated no recalls for my vehicle. There is an article from Canada describing what happened to my truck. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/07/gm-truck-recall-2014-2019-silverado-sierra-trucks-over-fire-risk/ No warning at all. The rear defroster just started smoldering and smoking. I do have a rear sliding window so only the left glass pane was impacted.

The automatic transmission had major problems that required $3000 in repair. I have 67,000 miles on vehicle.

No power brakes at low speeds ?? below 5 mph

Brake assist issue I have a pic and transmission is HORRIBLE couldn’t even take on vacation had to get a rental it shutters really bad no help with fixing it

I bought my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 certified pre owned on 11/04/2019 shortly after I purchased it I started having problems with it. From brakes to lights. An took it in for the recall on brakes and steering. After that I've not had cruise control, and the stabilitrak warning light has been on. And just about a year ago while driving an pulling trailer, I lost communication to transmission, electronic brake, park assist, trailer brakes, ect. An was forced to stop! After taking it in to dealership to fix it, they did which lasted not even a month and done it again numerous times leaving me stranded. Now just last night 11/23/2021 while pulling my trailer, as I came to a stop sign I hit my brakes and all trailer brakes locked up bringing me to a stop (trailer brake on dash has been set on 0 since they haven't worked since purchased ) I had to unhook trailer wiring to make it home. As I took off I lost communication to transmission again and trailer brake system warning chime kept going off repeatedly, lost dash gauges, causing transmission to get hot. As it was stuck in a certain gear. Your defective wiring/ electrical system has fault and potentially caused a SERIOUS accident, and is going to cost me an enormous amount of money to fix. Also the torque converter has been acting up for a year, forcing me to purchase a tuner just to stretch the life of transmission. This vehicle is NOT safe to drive on highway! This vehicle is life threatening. Putting my life, my familys life and innocent peoples life's in danger! Problem needs resolved or reimbursement/ new truck. A $37,000 truck should not be life-threatening. This truck has spent more time in a garage than on the highway. Solutions have to be done. Why pay for a $37,000 truck you can't use or risk everyone's lives!

on or around august 13, 2021 this vehicle was brought to triangle chevrolet in defuniak springs fl. for a recall on a loss of power assist braking. in the last 3 weeks or so i have had a loss of power braking at low speed drastically increasing stopping distance while also putting a tremendous amount of effort on the brake pedal, 2 times while going through fast food drive through, 1 time while manuvering around a gas pump to get gas. it acts like there is a loss of vacuum assist, and sometimes there is some vibration in the brake pedal as it the antilock brake system is activating. did triangle chevrolet actually perform the recall? if so, did they do it correctly? , if they did , what is the remedy for this

My Service Trailer Brake System light comes on. This is the 2nd time that I have had to take my truck in for this issue. The first time it was fixed it lasted for about a year. I am not sure what the issue is, but there seems to be a lot of people with this same issue that is very concerning especially when you are pulling a heavy load and the trailer brakes stopped working.

ran system check and found code p0796 performed test drive and found torque converter switch slipping-checked fluid in the pan found excessive amount of debris removed transmission and disassembled finding 4-5-6 clutch burnt mup and debis went through the valve body and tcm - bushings are also damaged from debris , 75400 milees on 2017 silverado truck

The truck lurches forward at any given time while taking off with the truck. The rear end clunks too.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 70 mph, he hit a deer. Only the trim of the side curtain air bags deployed with a powder substance released from the air bags. The driver and passenger-side air bags did not deploy upon impact. No injury was sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

Several times when coming to a stop at low speed, the RPMs stay at 1500 despite having foot off accelerator, requiring greatly increased brake pressure to stop or maintain stopping. Seems that the transmission does not downshift to low gear. Just bought vehicle used two days ago, happened three times today. This easily could have resulted in an vehicle or pedestrian accident.

i reported my vehicle stalling in the middle of traffic on 2 separated incidents. the dash lights turn off and on and the car stalls. but after having it serviced nothing was found this was in 2019 and 2020. come 2021 my car STALLED AND LOCKED in the middle of an intersection my truck is not more than 5 years old and i have it serviced at the dealership and they never saw this coming. my diagnostic check reads i need to replace 8 fuel injectors $2400.00

The service brake assist came on and the brakes are acting funny at lower speeds. I see there was a recall for this very problem.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AFTER ABOUT 2 INCHES OF TURN ON THE WHEEL. I WAS FORCED TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE. TRIED AGAIN, STILL WOULDN'T TURN. THIRD TRY, IT RELEASED. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AS I WAS ANGLED ACROSS THE ON-COMING LANE AND STOPPED. IF I HAD NOT BRAKED, I WOULD HAVE WENT HEAD ON INTO A LIGHT POLE. I LISTED MY COMPLAINT ON CARPROBLEMS.COM, AND THERE WERE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME STEERING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO, SOME RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS WITH INJURY.
