2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I believe the General Motors Video Display Module Digitizer has a design flaw that affects vehicle safety. This is the appliance in the center of the dashboard to the right side of the driver controlling audio and clock operations. It is a large touch screen. Also, the instrument cluster located over the steering wheel is affected. This is the digital display that reports vehicle velocity, tire pressure, gas mileage. What are the symptoms? During vehicle operation, the video display to the driver's side will randomly cycle through alternate operations not requested by the user. For example, while listening to radio station "A", the unit will switch to radio station "B". Then, the clock will be displayed in "full screen mode". Then, the unit initiates phone calls to people from my contacts list on my phone. In addition, the display unit over the steering wheel is connected to the side unit and will randomly change display. Each time these units change operation, the system emits an audible beep. All this is distracting and increases the workload of the driver (talking on the phone while driving trying to explain that you didn't mean to call the person), thus representing a safety hazard while driving. While the misbehavior comes and goes, at its worst, the unit will change operation a few times per minute. I made a video of the misbehavior, which I can share with you upon request. The behavior is reproducible. Why do I say this is a design flaw requiring NHTSA safety recall? The unit is relatively new but past its warranty period: the vehicle has 57,000 miles. And multiple vehicle owners are affected: see web sites containing reports from other owners reporting the same problem with their relatively new vehicles: https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/252750-touch-screen-has-a-mind-of-its-own/ https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255203-touch-screen-problems/ GM charges $900 to install a new unit, but I believe the problem is a design flaw and will occur again.

Bake pedal get's really hard to press at low speed specially when parking the truck and almost had me hit the other car in front and this is not the first time.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER. WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP A INTERSTATE INCLINE. WITH NO AREA TO PULL OVER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN MANUAL MODE TO 4TH GEAR AND MADE IT OFF THE INTERTSTATE. I DID NOT NOTIFY ANY INDIVIDUALS AND CALLED A FRIEND WITH A TRAILER TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE.

While driving, the touch screen “touches itself” changing settings, making and ending calls, turning off by itself, dimming and brightening the screen while driving.

Major transmission shudder at 65-80 mph, creating control issues. Hard downshifting causing a vehicle push, hard to stop. Problem not confirmed by dealer, I'm out of warranty. No warning lamps or messages. 50,000 miles

The brakes grab and fails to fully engage at low speeds. The "Service Brake Assit message keeps popping up. My truck is not part of the GM brake recall but the symptoms are the same as many other reports from recalled trucks. They are going to get me killed with my truck's inconsistent braking

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the brake pedal became firm while being depressed. The braking distance was extended while attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the nearly caused the vehicle to crash into a group of pedestrians. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the brake vacuum assembly and belt kit were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not covered under the recall or Service Campaign for the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.

Brake becomes stuff and hard to press. This happens at low speeds at low engine speed. Brake pedal will sometimes vibrate. Message to check brake assist has occurred one time.

The transmission in my truck has been giving me problems off and on since I purchased it a few years back. I have told the dealer about it and they said they could not find a problem and that's because it is very sporadic when it happens. What is happening is it shifts really hard like it's not in gear when you hit the gas and then it just takes off, it is to the point where now it Jenks really hard when shifting and it also has been downshifting for no reason. There are no warnings alarms or messages displayed and yes it can be inspected but the couple times I asked them being Sterling Buick GMC they tell me the techs can not duplicate the issue and that's because it does not happen all the time. Thank you

My 2017 Chevrolet Silverado's air bag light has come on. I had the Chevrolet dealers review and diagnosis the issue. I am told that the passenger airbag and sensor need replacing. Cost to repair 2400.00 and dealership (Wilson Chevrolet) doesn't think they can get the parts in to complete repair. I was told my year and make have a recall, but not my model for the same issues. I do not believe that a truck that is just 5 years old should have this type of safety issue and not covered by the manufacturer, Chevrolet. And if there is a recall for the year and make, shouldn't cover all model trucks in that recall?
