TRUCK HAS A VIBRATION IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND SEATS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ATTEMPTED FIXES BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS TO THIS DAY.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BRAND NEW IN MAY OF 2014. THE FIRST MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS JUNE 19 2014. THE STEERING WHEEL, IGNITION, AND CYLINDER REMAINED LOCKED AND I WAS RESTRAINED FROM STARTING VEHICLE I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IN WHICH THEY WERE NO ASSISTANCE.I WAS ABLE TO START CAR AFTER APROX 30MIN. THE SECOND MALFUNCTION WAS IN MARCH 2015. MY TRUCK TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, SPEED AND ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. ONSTAR AND HIGHWAY PATROL WERE CONTACTED AND HIGHWAY PATROL ASSISTED IN PUSHING VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE THIRD INCIDENT WAS JULY 30. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK INTO PARADISE CHEVROLET FOR AN OIL CHANGE. A GAS ATTENDEE NOTICED I WAS LEAKING OIL. THE OIL CAP HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED CAUSING OIL LEAKAGE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS AUGUST 11,2015. MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ONCE AGAIN WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY HUSBAND AND FIVE MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN IT, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING,SPEED AND ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE TRUCK. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART APROX.20MIN AFTER.HOWEVER, WHEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK MADE A NOTICEABLY SHAKEY MOTION. BOTH EVENTS IN WHICH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING WERE FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER PARADISE CHEVROLET OF VENTURA CA "UPGRADED SOFTWARE", WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. BOTH TIMES I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I WAS INFORMED AFTER THE FACT THAT THEY HAD UPGRADED SOFTWARE/ PREFORMED A "RECALL".

I HAD RECENTLY PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND WAS COMING BACK FROM VEGAS, GOING UP A HILL THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF TRAFFIC I WAS PROBABLY DOING 35 TO 45 MPH AND SUDDENLY I HEARD A LOUD THUD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE KIND OF LIKE WHEN YOU GET REAR ENDED AND IT DID AGAIN A FEW TIMES AFTER THAT, WHEN I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND THEY SAY THAT IT WAS NEW VEHICLE WITH A ALL NEW DRIVETRAIN AND IT HAD A 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS NORMAL.

THE SEAT OF MY TRUCK IS LOOSE. THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY THE DEALERS HAVE IN THEIR SYSTEM WHICH IS #PIT5223: FRONT DRIVER OR PASSENGER SEAT COVER / CUSHION LOOSE. ..... DEALER HAS ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT 3 TIMES FOLLOWING GUIDLINES FROM GM BUT IT IS STILL A PROBLEM. A FRIEND OF MINE PURCHASED A 2015 GMC SIERRA (WHICH IS THE SAME TRUCK) AND HE IS HAVING THE PROBLEM WITH 2000 MILES ON IT..... HE TO JUST PICKED HIS TRUCK UP FROM THE DEALER AND ON THE WAY HOME THE SEAT WAS DOING THE SAME THING. THERE IS AN ONLINE FORUM THAT HAS MANY OTHER OWNERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME THING HERE HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/TOPIC/155228-SEAT-CLICKCLUNK-NOISE-UPDATE/ ---- OVERALL IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND STILL IS BECAUSE THERE IS NO FIX. I STOPPED AT ANOTHER DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND IS WORKING ON A SOLUTION. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE TAKE ACTION..... ITS VERY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS TO BE SITTING IN A SEAT ROCKING TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT DEPENDING ON WHETHER YOUR MAKING A RIGHT HAND OR LEFT HAND TURN.... ITS LIKE YOUR SITTING 'UNSETTLED'.... SOMEONE IS GOING TO WIND UP LOSING THEIR FOOTING WHILE BRAKING OR MAKING A TURN AND KILL SOMEONE.

FRAME RUST HAS DEVELOPED ON RAILS UNDER BED. THE PROTECTIVE WAX COATING IS FALLING OFF, ONE SECTION IS ABOUT THREE INCHES. RUST HAS DEVELOPED IN THE TUBES OF THE FRAME AND ON AREAS CONNECTED TO THE FRAME. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND ABOUT 12,000 MILES. THE RUST HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE.

WHILE DRIVING, SLOWED THE VEHICLE DOWN TO START A DECENT IN THE ROAD, ONCE VEHICLE REACHED LEVEL GROUND, I PUSHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, AND VEHICLE WOULD ONLY REV UP, WOULD NOT GOT FORWARD, WHILE IN DRIVE. THIS CONTINUED UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS CLOSE TO 5 MPH, THEN VEHICLE STARTED MOVING AS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS PUSHED. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL TIMES, AND THE DEALER STATES THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE OCCURRENCE. TRIED TO RECORD THE OCCURRENCE, BUT WITH THE CONSTANT TURNING OF THE STEERING WHEEL, MAKES IT HARD TO RECORD FOR PROOF.

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ON INTERSTATE I NOTICE A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT STEERING AND WHEELS ONCE THE TRUCK GOES OVER 65 MILES PER HOUR. THIS WAS DOING IT JUST AFTER 1000 MILES.. WHEN THE ROTATED TIRES WHEN TRUCK WAS SERVICED . THE ISSUE IS STILL THERE
