2018 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

STARTER IS BAD, DRAGS WHEN COLD OR ITS DRAWN THE BATTERY DOWN TO WHERE IT WON'T START. JUMPED IT ONCE, THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THAT 650 COLD CRANKING AMP IS NOT BIG ENOUGH FOR THE STARTER. WE NEED TO GO TO A 1000 COLD CRANKING AMP PLUS A 200 AMP ALTERNATOR. OR WE COULD JUST REPLACE THE STARTER WITH A GOOD ONE.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT INTO GEAR, THE POWER STEERING DOESN'T WORK, AND OTHER ELECTRONIC OPTIONS DO NOT WORK. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS PARKED AND STARTED, THE WEATHER WAS AROUND 50F AND CLEAR. THE SECOND TIME WAS AFTER GETTING GAS WHILE PARKED, THE WEATHER WAS CLEAR AND AROUND 82F. AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS FOR 10-15 MINUTES (OFF AFTER THE FIRST START) YOU CAN RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL GO INTO GEAR BUT IN A LIMP MODE STATE. THE POWER STEERING LIGHT WILL WORK BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT SHIFT CORRECTLY AND THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS APART.

THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 100 MILES ON IT. I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT 55 AND ENTERING TOWN. SLOWED TO 45, THEN 35, THEN 25 MPH. HAD A SLOW COAST DOWN HILL APPROX 200 YDS AT 25MPH WHILE LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKES. I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOPSIGN. THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED DEEPER THAN USUAL, WAS VERY HARD, AND I DID NOT HAVE MUCH STOPPING FORCE. I HAD TO STAND VERY HARD ON THE PEDAL TO GET IT STOPPED AND MY STOPPING DISTANCE WAS GREATER THAN USUAL. HAD THERE BEEN A PEDESTRIAN CROSSING THE STREET THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG PROBLEM. AS A LET OFF THE PEDAL TO CROSS THE INTERSECTION, THERE WAS A SURGE LIKE THE ENGINE WAS STUCK ON FAST IDLE OR LIKE WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A LOW RPM BRAKE STAND. AFTER THAT SHORT INCIDENT, BRAKE FUNCTION WAS BACK TO NORMAL AND I DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME WITHOUT ANOTHER ISSUE.

DURING A MINOR INCIDENT WITH LOW IMPACT AND AT A LOW SPEED, BOTH FRONT SEAT SEATBELT PRETNESIONERS FIRED OFF, LOCKING BOTH BELTS COMPLETELY AND FILLING THE TRUCK WITH SMOKE. NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THAT ONE ENGAGED. I WAS BACKING UP IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT SLOWLY AND DID NOT SEE A CONCRETE SLAB BEHIND ME DUE TO THE ANGLE.

THIS TRUCKS TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WHENEVER IT WANTS TO... I WAS DRIVING 45MPH AND COASTING TO A RED LIGHT WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS HARD BUT WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AGAIN AND I PRESSED THE ACCELERATOR I HAD NO TORQUE, LIKE I WAS IN 5TH GEAR AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN 2ND. I PRESSED A BIT HARDER AND IT DOWNSHIFTED HARD AGAIN AND WAS AT 5K RPMS! I THOUGHT IT HAD AN 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION, BUT IT SURE DOESNT SEEM LIKE IT. MY TRUCK WAS NEW AND ONLY HAS 5K MILES ON IT. UNACCEPTABLE

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, KNOCKS, AND GRINDS IN SOME INSTANCES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FROM THESE ISSUES BUT SPENT 30K + AND I HAVING THESE ISSUES AT 13,500 MILES.

STEERING LOSS WITH WARNING. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 100 MILES AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM 8-10 TIMES. IN MOTION, STOPPED, TRANSITIONING INTO MOTION. QUICKLY MOVING FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE.

THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW. I SHATTERED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING ON A SMOOTH ROAD.

IN APRIL 2018, I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERADO. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 I NOTICED AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE CHASSIS. IN MARCH 2019, THE CORROSION HAS INCREASED TO THE TOTAL FRONT OF MY CHASSIS RUSTING. NOTE: THE MARKERS USED AS A REFERENCE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO ASSEMBLE THE VEHICLE WERE STILL PRESENT, INDICATING A SHARPLY MARKER HAD ADHERED TO THE TRUCK BETTER THAN THE NOXRUST COATING. NOTE: I CLEAN MY VEHICLE REGULARLY( EVERY TWO WEEKS). I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS TO NO AVAIL. THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER STANDARD DAMAGE TO THE PAINT. THE FAULT WAS NOT DAMAGE TO THE PAINT, RATHER THE WAX COATING SIMPLY DID NOT HOLD UP. ACCORDING TO THE SHOP RECORDS, MY TRUCK WAS STILL WITHIN THE 3 YEAR/36,000 MIKE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY MEASURING AT 30,521 MILES. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAIL.

I PURCHASE A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 THAT WAS DEFECTED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIX IT SO THEY TRADED IT FOR ANOTHER 2018 SILVERADO. THE 2ND TRUCK HAS THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. IT'S MAKES A GRINDING VIBRATION BETWEEN 40 AND 50 MPH AND IT MAKES A SOUND LIKE SOMETHING IS GOING TO COME APART OR SOMETHING IS GETTING READY TO FALL OUT.DEALERSHIP HUFFINES CHEVROLET IN LEWISVILLE,TX SAIDS IT'S MY DRIVING HABITS. GENERAL MOTORS STATED THE PROBLEM GO'S AWAY OVER TIME. IF PROBLEM GO'S AWAY OVER A PERIOD OF TIME,WHY DID IT GO AWAY ON THE 1ST TRUCK. TRANSMISSION IS DEFECTED AND THEY KNOW IT. AT THIS POINT ALL I WANT IS MY MONEY BACK. I'VE BEEN FRUSTRATED FOR 6 MONTHS OVER MY TRUCK. IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF GRINDING AND VIBRATION. I'M NOW GOING TO CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS ON A UNSAFE DEFECTED VEHICLE.

STARTED TO HEAR CLUNKING NOISE AROUND 15,000 MILES. THE NOISE STARTED TO GET WORSE AS TIME WENT BY. FIRST IT WAS JUST WHEN DRIVING UP MY DRIVEWAY THEN IT WAS WHILE DRIVING OR EVEN STATIONARY PUSHING DOWN ON THE REAR BUMPER. FOUND THAT THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE CRACKED BUT IT WASN'T VISIBLE WHILE THEY WERE ON THE VEHICLE.

P1. On or about Feb 9, Power Train transmission, Modular’s. While traveling about 40mph the truck shifted suddenly to low gear, and the water pump blew resulting in steam or smoke from engine hood. Automatic shifting was not possible, after slowing to 5-10 mph check if mauls shifting was an option. All gears L1 L2…were replaced with ‘L’. P2 March 2023 to presented 2024, the vehicle will vibrate and shake. More like a shimming. This happens what seems to be every .5 to 1.0 mile. P3 March 2023 The Transmission issue listed in para 1 happen exactly as describe above. Except the water pump was fine. On or about June 2021 The Transmission issue listed in para 3 happen exactly as describe above. I TOOK TRUCK TO HENDERSON CHEVROLET in Henderson , NV and reported the transmission sudden shift to low AND how the truck slams into gear when leaving a stop sign light. It feels like someone hit the back of the truck. Jerks forward. Service RESULT: that’s normal for the truck. October 2019, took truck to back to Circle Chevy / Hyundai in Shrewsbury NJ regarding the slamming and jerky transmission. RESULT: it’s normal or it didn’t do it while in service road test. I just bought the truck 1 month earlier from CIRCLE CHEVY of SHREWSBURY NJ. Regarding the most recent trans issue of Feb 2024, the power train went out of warranty in August. The issues should have been fixed when odometer was between 000064 to 60000 or Aug 2024. This truck is unsafe and sudden shift to low gear can cause the truck to get into accident

UNABLE TO FILL TANK COMPLETELY. GAS PUMP WILL TRIP OUT BEFORE TANK IS FULL. THIS HAPPENS AT MULTIPLE STATIONS

FUEL LEAK FUEL TANK AREA WHEN ENGINE IS RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD OVERHEAT. THE AIR CONDITIONER WAS NOT WORKING AND THE FANS WERE RUNNING. THE VEHICLE HAD A LOAD JERK AND THE TRANSMISSION KEEP REEVING HIGH EVEN AFTER HE HAD TAKEN HIS FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. STARLING CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (1001 E IRLO BRONSON MEMORIAL HWY, ST CLOUD, FL 34769 (407) 593-8957) WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONER SYSTEM WAS REPAIRED BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTED. NO REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED ON THE TRANSMISSION. AN APPOINTMENT WAS MADE FOR ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

AC BLOWING HOT OUT VENTS .

AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES I WAS PARKED IN A YARD AND BLOCKED IN SO I BACKED UP ON A SMALL HILL AND THE TRUCK JERKED BADLY FOR ABOUT 15 FEET I THOUGHT IT WAS THE POSITIVE TRACTION TRYING TO CATCH ON THE GRASS BUT FURTHER INTO DRIVING THE TRUCK I NOTICED IT HAPPENING MORE AND MORE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND IN SHIFTING INTO GEARS ARE AT TIMES HARD. THE LAST INCIDENT I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT TODAY AND AROUND 40 MPH IT HAD A JERK/ HARD SHIFT, MY TRUCK IS A DAILY DRIVER AND I HAVE 44,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I AM A HARDWORKING AMERICAN THAT PURCHASED THIS $40,000 TRUCK FOR DEPENDABILITY BECAUSE I DO A LOT OF DRIVING AND WOULD LOVE FOR SOME ONE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS NONSENSE THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION JERKING AND SNATCHING AT RANDOM TIME CAN YOU ALL PLEASE MAKE GM RECALL THESE AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE JUNK TRANSMISSIONS. THANK YOU, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE I WAS THE AT FAULT DRIVER, I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT AND DID NOT NOTICE THE RED LIGHT NOR THE CAR STOPPED UNTIL APPROXIMATELY THREE SECONDS BEFORE IMPACT. ONCE I RECOGNIZED WHAT WAS HAPPENING, I IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS. I HIT THE OTHER DRIVER IN THE REAR OF HIS VEHICLE. AS STATED ABOVE, I HIT MY BREAKS ABOUT 3 SECONDS BEFORE IMPACT, BUT MY ABS DID NOT ACTIVATE; INSTEAD MY BREAKS LOCKED AND I SLID 15-30 FEET INTO THE OTHER VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, SINCE MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, A TOW TRUCK WAS REQUIRED TO TOW MY TRUCK. UPON ARRIVAL OF THE TOW, MY TRUCK WOULD NOT START, SO HE NEEDED TO PULL IT UP ONTO THE BED OF HIS TOW TRUCK WITH CHAINS. ONCE HOOKED UP, HE BEGAN TO DRAG THE TRUCK UP. THE TOW DRIVER ASKED ME IF THE TRUCK WAS 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND WHETHER I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN 4 WHEEL. I INDICATED IT DID, BUT I WAS NOT DRIVING IN 4 WHEEL MODE. I ASKED WHY HE HAD ASKED, AND HE SAID THAT IT WHILE PULLING THE TRUCK UP, ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE LOCKED. HE SAID THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN NORMALLY. I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY HOW THE MECHANICS OF ABS WORK, BUT I HAVE FELT ABS ENGAGE MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE ATTENDING DRIVERS TRAINING FOR WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS. MY ABS DID NOT ACTIVATE; THERE WAS NO STUTTER OF THE BREAKS, ONLY A STABLE PRESS WITH NO ACTIVE RESPONSE OTHER THAN LOCKED BREAKS AND A LONG SKID.

Circulating air does not engage, toxic fumes enter cabin. Almost causing me to black out, I have thrown up. Have complained,, but chevy calls this "usual or expected" Have read on forums that I'm not the only one dealing with this.

MY SON WAS BACKING OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING SPACE AT OUR HOTEL. HE CHECKED HIS REAR CAMERA AND SAW THERE WERE CONCRETE POLES CLOSE BEHIND HIM SO HE BRAKED, BUT THE TRUCK JUMPED BACKWARD AND HIT THE POLE DENTING HIS BUMPER.

1. Transmission 2. Car would shake and jerk 3. Yes, GMC Waipahu and it was always stated that the transmission needed to be flushed 4. Yes, GMC Waipahu 5. No

IN COLD WEATHER THE WIPER BLADES FREEZE AND DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD CAUSING THE DRIVER TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD. EVEN WITH THE FRONT DEFROSTER ON HIGH, THE WIPERS BLADES FREEZE UP. THE WIPERS DO NOT HIT THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD. DURING NON FREEZING CONDITIONS.

WHEN VEHILCE GOES FROM 6 CYLINDERS TO 4 CYLINDERS IT SHAKES REALLY BAD AND CAUSES HEADACHES AT ALL SPEEDS ! WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS

DRIVING IN STRAIGHT LINE AT 5MPH WITH HILL DECENT ACTIVATED. BRAKE PEDAL BEGAN TO PULSATE, WHICH WAS FELT IN THE PEDAL AND IT WAS MAKING AN ODD AUDIBLE PULSATING NOISE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL NON-STOP AS IF ABS WAS CONSTANTLY ENGAGING. BRAKES SUDDENLY DISENGAGED AND TRUCK STARTED PICKING UP SPEED. ERROR DISPLAYED ON DASH WHICH SAID SERVICE STABILITRAK SYSTEM. I BELIEVE ANOTHER ERROR WAS DISPLAYED BUT I DIDN'T SEE IT. I ATTEMPTED TO MANUALLY APPLY BRAKES, HOWEVER PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY STIFF/HARD AND I WAS UNABLE TO PRESS BRAKE PEDAL DOWN, AND THE TRUCK DID NOT SLOW. THE PEDAL WAS HARD FOR 1 SECOND THEN THE POWER BRAKES RETURNED, AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. ALL ERROR SYMBOLS DISAPPEARED FROM THE DISPLAY. A NEW TICKING TYPE NOISE JUST STARTED FROM THE DRIVER SIDE LOWER ENGINE AREA. I LATER RECEIVED TWO ONSTAR EMAILS WHICH STATED; -'AN ISSUE WITH THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN YOUR 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 7 DAYS.' -'AN ISSUE WITH THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS BEEN DETECTED. PLEASE SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE WITHIN 7 DAYS.' VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO A CHEVROLET DEALER WHO SAID THE VACUUM PUMP HAD FAILED. PER MY ONLINE SEARCH THE PROBLEM IS DESCRIBED IN GM BULLETIN #PIT5361B. VACUUM PUMP WAS REPLACED BY DEALER UNDER WARRANTY.

RADIO QUIT WORKING AND TRUCK WOULD NOT START TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY ORDERED NEW RADIO AND THEN LATER INSTALLED IT STILL DIDENT WORK ORDERED MODULE FOR IT TOLD THEM TRUCK WAS SHORTING OUT AND WOULD NOT START AND ASKED THEM IF I SHOULD LEAVE IT ON BATTERY CHARGER OVER NIGHT SO IT WOULD START IN MORNING THEY SAID YES KEEP DOING THAT UNTIL PART CAME IN IT DID AND THEY FIXED IT A MONTH AGO WAS AT MALL TRUCK UOULD NOT START TRIED IT AGAIN STILL NOTHING TOOK KEY OUT WAITED COUPLE MINUTES AND IT STARTED THEN SEATBELT STUCK IN DOOR AND WENT THROUGH DOOR PANEL AT HOME DEPOT TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AN COULD FIX THE SEAT BELT BUT NOT THE DOOR BECAUSE I PUT BLACK SILICONE ON DOOR TO COVER HOLE AND NOW THE HEADLINER WHERE YOU PUT YOUR SUNGLASSES IS FALLING DOWN WORRIED I BOUGHT A LEMON BUT NOT SURE BECAUSE THIS IS MY FIRST NEW TRUCK AND IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A DELAY WHEN YOU LET OF THE GAS AND IT STOPS GIVING THE ENGINE GAS

We bought the truck new 2018 and started having trans issues and leaf springs popping. So, we took back to dealership and all they did was change fluid in trans and pump grease in-between leaf springs. I did get them to finally change passenger side leaf spring out, but that does no good when leaf spring they put on has the same issue. The leaf springs have to much gap in between each leaf. I told them to give me a 1,000.00 and I would go and have some made. That way, if I put a load on leaf spring it less chance they could break going down the road. Also, we have issues with radio that also did not get fixed by gm and still has the issue we can't use today. My truck also has the 6.2l engine that you guys have had complaints on. I will tell you that I'm not happy with what Gm is doing with these defected parts on these trucks. They are doing quick fixes to save them money on their screw ups and could get us killed. We are still having the issues to this day and they just brush us off. We pay a lot of money for these truck and Gm is ripping us off and costing us more money because we have to pay to fix their mistake, they should be fixing for free. All I want from Gm is get these issues fixed right and pumping grease in-between parts does not fix anything. We have to hold them accountable for these issues and make them fix it before it cost more peoples lives. I just want what I paid for and I did not get that when I bought it with these types of issues.

PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW AUTO UP BROKE AND ALMOST COMPLETELY SEVERED A ADULT MALES RING FING TIP. IN A PARKING LOT THE WINDOW WENT UP 'USING AUTO UP'. A FRIEND WAS GETTING IN THE TRUCK AND HAD HIS FINGER UNFORTUNATELY IN THE WAY THE WINDOW DID NOT STOP AFTER COMING INTO CONTACT WITH HIS FINGER AND IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY SEVERED AT THE TIP.

THE BRAKE PEDDLE WENT SOLID HARD AND LOSS OF BRAKING HAPPENED WHILE BACKING A BOAT TRAILER DOWN A BOAT LAUNCH RAMP. WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED THE DASH FLASHED SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST. LOSS OF POWER BRAKES CAUSED THE TRUCK TO NOT STOP EVEN WITH PUSHING DOWN ON THE PEDDLE AS HARD AS POSSIBLE. THIS OCCURRED WHILE COASTING IN REVERSE OFF OF THE THROTTLE USING THE BRAKE TO SLOW THE VEHICLE AND BOAT DOWN WHILE GOING DOWN THE LAUNCH RAMP IN REVERSE. SPEED WAS APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AT THE WATER LINE BY APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP UNDER WARRANTY DUE TO WEAK VACUUM. I LOST POWER BRAKES AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP WHEN BACKING DOWN AN INCLINE ON MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEED. THE DASH FLASHED SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST AGAIN. RETURNED TRUCK TO DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND TOOK A TECHNICIAN ON A TEST DRIVE WITH ME. SHOWED TECHNICIAN LOSS OF POWER BRAKES AND SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE ON DASH WHEN BRAKING IN REVERSE ON AN INCLINE. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CONTACTED CHEVROLET TECHNICAL SUPPORT AND REPLACED BRAKE BOOSTER AND REPLACED VACUUM PUMP FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS IS ON A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT1 WITH THE 6.2L ENGINE AND 42,155 MILES.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW IN NOVEMBER OF 2018. IT HAD 4 MILES ON IT. MY PREVIOUS TRUCK I OWNED FOR 10 YEARS. A 2000 GMC SIERRA, WHICH I MAINTAINED METICULOUSLY. I SOLD IT 452K MILES ON THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. SINCE I PURCHASE THE TRUCK THE TRANSMISSION HAS SHIFTED HARD ESPECIALLY AT LOW SPEEDS. I WON'T WRITE A REVIEW EXACTLY LIKE ALL THE OTHER TRANSMISSION REVIEWS, BUT THEY ARE SAME PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. GM NEEDS TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE NUMBER OF UNSATISFIED CUSTOMERS WITH A SUB PAR PRODUCT. I COULD HAVE BOUGHT ANY TRUCK I WANTED, AND I UNFORTUNATELY BOUGHT A SILVERADO WITH A TRANSMISSION THAT DOESN'T FUNCTION THE WAY A NEWER ONE SHOULD. ASIDE FROM THE MECHANICAL ISSUES IT CAUSES, IT IS EXTREMELY EMBARRASSING WITH PASSENGERS IN THE TRUCK. IT NEVER FAILS, THEY ALL SAY THE SAME EXACT THING...'WHAT WAS THAT?'...... GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT LIKE WE STOOD BEHIND OUR HARD EARNED MONEY WHEN WE PAID YOU.

THE DOOR LOCKS CREATE A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. I LOCKED MY TRUCK AND WENT INTO A STORE LEAVING AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE TRUCK. I CAME OUT WITH PACKAGES AND ASKED THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. NEITHER THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH OR THE HANDLE WOULD ALLOW HER TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THERE IS ABSOLTELY NO WAY A PASSENGER CAN GET OUT FOR ANY REASON IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE KEYS. THE DEALER SAY THIS IS PART OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE OWNERS MANUAL DOESN'T GIVE ANY INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO DISARM THIS. PASSENGER LEFT IN TRUCK WITHOUT THE KEYES WITH THE DOORS LOCKED IS IN A DEATH TRAP BUILT BY CHEVROLET.

THE RACK AND PINION IS NOT WORKING ON THE POWER STEERING - CHEVY WONT COVER BECAUSE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN LIFTED. THE TRUCK WAS LIFTED THE DAY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AND IT ONLY HAS 5196 MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO 3 LIFT SHOPS AND ALL SAID NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE LIFT AND THEIR OWN LIFT PERSON SAID THE LIFT WAS DONE PERFECT.

REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT TOP PLASTIC BRACKET IS MADE VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE, FIXED IT THREE TIME AT DEALERSHIP. THE PLASTIC BRACKET BREAKS ALL THE TIME WITH JUST A SLIGHT PULL ON THE SEAT BELT. ONCE BROKEN THE SEAT BELT GETS STUCK OR TWIST AROUND BRACKET AND NO LONGER WORKS. IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHEVY/GMC IMMEDIATELY IF SOMEONE GET IN AN ACCIDENT THERE WILL BE A LAW SUIT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE ON LINE.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR SHUDDER, ALSO HAS FREE WHEELED WHEN GOING DOWN HILL AT SLOW SPEEDS, ALSO OCCURS IN REVERSE, USUALLY ABOUT 1 TO 2 CAR LENGTHS. HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND BEEN TOLD THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY. HAD THE SERVICE RECOMMENDATION OF A TRANSMISSION FLUED FLUSH DONE TWICE WITH DIFFERENT FLUID INSTALLED WITH NO CHANGE. HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERS SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS WITH GM LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM, NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. NO CONFIDENCE THAT GM CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD DEVELOP INTO A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

The contact owns a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at night, there was an abnormal movement from the passenger side headlight causing a distraction. The contact veered to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle but the failure was unknown. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer who replaced the headlight assembly however the failure persisted. The contact was concerned the failure may cause an accident. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

THE EIGHT SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION STUTTERS AND ACTS LIKE IT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT GEAR TO GO INTO UNDER LIGHT TO NORMAL ACCELERATION. THIS OCCURS WHILE COLD AND DURING THE WARMING PERIOD, (NORMALLY UP TO AROUND 180 DEGREES), BUT TENDS TO RESOLVE AFTER THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY WARMED UP. THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS AND HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER THE VEHICLE SITS ALL NIGHT OR IF IT HAS SIMPLY SIT FOR A FEW HOURS. IT IS VERY APPARENT, OTHER PASSENGERS ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN THEY RIDE IN IT. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW, BUT WHEN I TOOK THE TEST DRIVE IT WAS ALREADY WARMED UP. THEREFORE I WAS UNAWARE OF THE ISSUES PRESENT. I WENT BACK TO THE SALESMAN TO DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THIS HAPPENS WITH ALL THE 2018 EIGHT SPEED SILVERADO'S HE HAS DRIVEN ON THEIR LOT. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THESE TRANSMISSIONS HAVE A LEARN CYCLE, SO I DECIDED TO GIVE IT SOME TIME TO SEE IF WAS A LEARNING CURVE WITH THE COMPUTER. IT NEVER CLEARED UP. I LATER BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE INITIAL SERVICE AND DESCRIBED WHAT HAD BEEN HAPPENING WITH IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I LEFT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT SO THE TECHNICIAN COULD DRIVE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND PERFORM AN SERVICES. THE NEXT DAY I WAS CALLED AND TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS READY. UPON ARRIVAL I WAS INFORMED THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEMS I DESCRIBED, BUT IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER, IT BECOMES WORSE TO BRING IT BACK IN FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS. I CALLED GM, THEY ALSO LOOKED INTO THE CASE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN CALLED BACK AND STATED THAT IS NORMAL FOR THE TRANSMISSION. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE NEW WITH ABOUT 2,500 MILES ON IT, (DEMO), AND HAVE HAD IT ONLY A FEW MONTHS. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 10,000 MILES ON IT.

TAKATA RECALL. WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE OF MY TRUCK. IT STOPPED FOR A SECOND AND THEN DID IT AGAIN THE CLUNKING SOUND GOT PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER. I NOTICED THE SOUND AT LOW SPEEDS, HIGH SPEEDS, GOING OVER MINOR BUMPS AND BIG BUMPS IN THE ROAD. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE GOING OVER BIG BUMPS I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE FLEXING AND/OR GRINDING METAL COMING FROM THE REAR SUSPENSION. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO ROCK IT BACK AND FORTH AND NOTICED THE KNOCKING/GRINDING SOUNDS COMING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE AND THE SUSPENSION. I GOT BACK IN THE VEHICLE AND DROVE OFF AND THE SOUNDS AGAIN STARTED. I HAVE INFANT TWINS THAT I WAS DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE AT THIS TIME AND I BECAME VERY CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AND MINE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP (SINCE IT IS BRAND NEW AND AT THE TIME ONLY HAD 2-3K MILES ON IT). THEY SAID "ITS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET TRUCKS" THE PAPERWORK THEY GAVE ME AFTER THE "REPAIR" STATED" LUBRICATE REAR LEAF SPRINGS AND RE-TORQUE BOLTS" THIS INDICATES I HAD LOOSE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN AND I AGAIN TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY AGAIN STATED THE SAME REPAIR AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER REMEDY AND ALSO REFUSED TO REPLACE THE LEAF SPRINGS. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN. AGAIN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AGAIN THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY OTHER FORM OF SERVICE TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 8K MILES ON IT AND IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP ON 4 SEPARATE INSTANCES FOR THE SAME SUSPENSION PROBLEM. THE CLUNKING AND LOOSE SUSPENSION NOISES HAVE RETURNED AND I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK IN FOR THE 5TH TIME. THIS IS UNSAFE, AND MY WIFE REFUSES TO DRIVE IN MY TRUCK NOR ALLOW ME TO DRIVE OUR CHILDREN IN OUR TRUCK BECAUSE SHES CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) FAILED AND CAUSED THE STEERING WHEEL TO BE EXTREMELY TIGHT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAD TO BE MANUALLY MANEUVERED FROM RIGHT TO LEFT WITH DIFFICULTY. THE EPS INDICATOR FLASHED A WARNING EACH TIME AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY FORCE TO MANEUVER THE STEERING WHEEL TO ENSURE THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFELY DRIVEN. THE DEALER (LINDNER CHEVROLET, 2805 FREMONT DR, CAON CITY, CO 81212, 1-719-315-1390) WAS NOTIFIED AND THE VEHICLE WAS LEFT AT THE DEALER FOR OVER A MONTH FOR TEST DRIVING AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER PROVIDED A LOANER VEHICLE WHILE SERVICING THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED MORE THAN TWICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

SEVERAL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING RIGHT AROUND 55 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED FOR NO REASON ON THRUWAY CONDITIONS. WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT WAS ALMOST LIKE SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES QUICKLY. ON ALL OCCASIONS, MY BODY LURCHED FORWARD. IF SOMEONE WAS BEHIND ME, I PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WITH MY SON IN THE TRUCK, WE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND THE TRANSMISSION CLUNKED SO VIOLENTLY, THAT WE BOTH THOUGHT WE WERE REAR ENDED AT FIRST. I DESCRIBED THE ISSUE TO MY GM SERVICE SHOP WHO SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE AND THAT THE CODES WERE ALL NORMAL. I WAS ADVISED THAT THE CLUNK AT THE RED LIGHT WAS COMMON, AS THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO RELIEVE PRESSURE. NO WAY IS THIS NORMAL! I GOT ON LINE TO REVIEW FORUMS AND IT APPEARS THIS IS A VERY PREVALENT ISSUE. YESTERDAY, I LOST MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY ON A THRUWAY. I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK AND THE RPMS SPIKED. I LEFT THE HIGHWAY ASAP BUT COULD NOT GO OVER 30 MPH OR THE RPMS WOULD JUST SPIKE WITHOUT MOTION RESPONSE. EXITING THE THRUWAY AT THIS SPEED WAS VERY DANGEROUS! EVEN WITH HAZARDS ON, DRIVERS SELDOM SLOW DOWN OR MOVE OVER, ESPECIALLY 18 WHEELERS. THESE TRANSMISSIONS ARE CLEARLY A SAFETY HAZARD.

VEHICLE DEVELOPED A VIBRATION AT 80MPH WHICH FADES IN AND OUT. TIRES WERE ROAD FORCED BALANCED, AND ALIGNMENT WAS DONE. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED. THE SHACKING AT 80MPH CONTINUED. ON A 30 MILE COMMUTE AT 80MPH THE VIBRATION IS EXTREME 25% OF THE TIME (LIKE DRIVING OVER A RUMBLE STRIP), MODERATE ANOTHER 25% OF THE TIME, AND THE OTHER 50% THE VIBRATION IS NOT NOTICEABLE.

VEHICLES ENGINE AND IGNITION SHUT OFF WHILE TURNING RIGHT. ENGINE CAN BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. THIS HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS (1090 MILES) UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED. ONE TIME WHILE ENTERING A ROADWAY FROM A PARKING LOT, ONE TIME WHILE PULLING OVER TO PARK AND ONE TIME WHILE TURNING OFF OF A HIGHWAY OFF RAMP. THE DEALERSHIP, HEALEY BROTHERS OF MIDDLETOWN, NY ATTEMPTED TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DO SO AND HAS NO ANSWERS AS TO WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM.

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY NEW SILVERADO BOUNCE / FLICKER LIKE AN OLD SEMI TRUCK WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS AND IMPERFECTIONS IN THE ROAD. THE DEALER SAID THAT THERE IS NO TSB FOR FIXING THIS ISSUE FROM GM SO THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. THEY DID SAY THEY WERE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THAT THEY GET MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT. THEY SAID IT IS DUE TO THE HID BULB GM IS USING. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SEAT HEADRESTS DID NOT STAY IN PLACE WHEN ADJUSTED TO ACCOMMODATE THE HEIGHT OF THE REAR PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE REAR SEATS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK CHEVROLET OF PORTLAND (1000 BRIGHTON AVE, PORTLAND, ME 04102) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LOCKING MECHANISM DID NOT LOCK IN PLACE AND WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50.
