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.

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.

Warning light to secure vehicle against rolling with hand brake will not go away. Car is completely driveable.

While backing up in a parking lot my brakes became very hard to press Not wanting to stop my truck Finally got the truck stopped put it in drive and it happened again I put the truck in park Turned off my truck held down the brake Pedal While starting my truck and Is the break pedal released going back to normal, THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM CHEVROLET NEED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE YOU GET SOMEONE KILLED, I even had my steering gear fail with no warning or indication of a problem about six months ago and almost crashed

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.

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.
