    Randomly the brakes get stiff, even while on a hill or stop and go traffic. I noticed the first time after first buying it that while on an exit driveway at a decline, the brakes felt like they slipped or went away. I had to push them hard all the way down and thought I was going to roll into oncoming traffic. The truck soon after was making a noise and felt like it was losing power and revving after the keg was taken out and loss of gas mileage. The dealership confirmed the brakes vacuum pump and the high pressure fuel pump were both bad and the gas was leaking into the oil causing problems and possibly ruining the engine, they stated both would need to be replaced. Check engine light comes on soon after fresh oil changes everytime and codes were shown on computer for running rich. No codes after the initial oil changes due to the warning lights appearing after a good amount of gas has leaked into the oil.

    2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 5.3 liter engine developed coolant leak. Took vehicle to Chevrolet dealer and they said the radiator was failing. According to the service advisor, this was a result of the thermostat "over cycling". They also said GM had a recall for this exact problem for the 2014 models but not for my vehicle. Cost of new radiator and replacement of the defective thermostat was over $1,200.

    I recently brought my 2015 Silverado in to the local dealership to fix the “increased brake pedal effort” recall. The dealership reprogrammed the brake control module but the problem still persists. Yesterday 03/07/23 I experienced loss of brake power in interstate traffic while traveling at low speed. This happened several times and it is very concerning. I believe the GM vacuum pump is faulty and I will contact the dealership about replacing it.

    I own a 2015 Chevy Silverado LD. There was a recall that included (among other vehicles) the 2014 Silverado LD and the 2015 Silverado HD but not the 2015 LD. It is for the base radio audio output not working causing audible safety warnings to not work as well. I have this problem on my truck. I took the truck to a local dealership but they claimed to have no knowledge of this faulty condition.

    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
