2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

On 10/26/2019, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado was being driven in heavy traffic on the 134/210 Freeway area of Glendale, California. The truck was going 10 mph, and when the driver went to stop, the brake petal pressed to the floor, resulting in a rear end collision with the car in front of it. The driver of the first car appeared uninjured, but filed a claim later that he had ongoing lower back issues. The brake light only went on after the incident. The truck was driven to a local Chevrolet dealer and the brakes were serviced a few days later. The vacuum pump was the reason why the truck did not stop. It is notated on paperwork and confirmed when speaking to the Service Manager on Friday, November 1st at 4:30 pm. The service manager also reported there was now a recall to fix the problem, so it would be fixed and a new vacuum pump would be put in (Vacuum Pump Replacement Special Coverage N182198000). A claim was filed with GMC to pay for the damage and take over the insurance claim made by the owner of the truck, as well as the car in front of it. GMC came out to the Chevrolet dealer during that time, and GMC reported to the owner that they would not help with fixing the vehicle or the insurance claims. The owner requested the final report three times and there was no response. The truck had been reported to multiple service providers that there were issues with the stopping of the brakes in 2019. It was requested by the owner that the brakes were inspected so that they could be replaced if needed. There was also an incident in July 2019 where front and rear brakes were interchanged on the paperwork and the owner of the truck was told that it was just a paperwork mix up because they "fixed the brakes that were bad."

Brakes give out at slow speeds such as parking Lots are traffic. The truck started giving me problems one day in a parking lot the breaks went straight to the floor and the truck shook and it was weird and the truck barley stopped and I put it in park. I started to drive again and at fast speeds the brakes seemed fine .. but then it’s happened multiple times for me now in traffic and in parking lots and it’s not safe at all I’ve bought new rotors all new brakes pads and even changed the brake booster and main cylinder all through Midas and it still has done it to me again.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle started to idled rough. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed with the injectors needing to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact was relating the failure to an unknown service bulletin but his state was not included.

Hi, My company purchased this truck brand new. Since the 1st I time drove it I realized that I can easily smell the pollution on the out side, inside the truck. Even with windows up and Air Condition on cabin air recirculate mode. This is a problem I did not have on my 2000 Silverado 1500 model. The pollution from other vehicles in front of my truck would be sucked right into my truck and into my lungs. So every time I would get behind a smokey truck or near it, a few cars behind, I would have to open the windows to get that air out and if iI was stuck behind that truck then the smell was not going anywhere. I will be very happy to see this addressed. I see this as a major issue with this truck. Please help.

MY VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES. ABOUT 200 MILES AGO NOTICED A CLICKING WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE IT HAS INCREASED IN NOISE AND OCCURANCE AND HAPPENS WHILE TURNING RIGHT TO LEFT. IN PARK OR DRIVING. I HAD A MECHANIC DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE TAKING THE COVER OFF AND HE CHECKED THE OTHER COMPONENTS AND HE DIAGNOSED IT AS RACK AND PINION NOISE.

ABS AND SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND THEY REPLACED WIRING. THIS CAUSED LEFT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE WILL ONLY DRIVE CORRECTLY IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE.

WHEN REVERSING SLOWLY THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HAD TO PUSH TO STOP USUALLY AFTER PUSHING IT MORE THAN ONE TIME.

CODE P0300 AND P050D KEEP ON BEING THROWN. VEHICLE STARTED HAVING THESE ISSUES BACK WHEN I HAD 30K MILES AND NOW AT 45K, I AM GETTING THEM MORE OFTEN. THE DOWNSHIFTS BECAUSE OF THIS ARE BAD, THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS. FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS REAR-ENDING YOU. VEHICLE SOMETIMES SHAKES AND SOUNDS LIKE ITS MISFIRING. I CAN SOMETIMES TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN BACK ON AND IT WILL WORK FINE LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. CHEVY WANTS $150 TO DIAGNOSE AND ABOUT $12000 TO REPLACE INJECTORS SINCE THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR BUMPER TO BUMPER OR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THAT'S PRETTY BAD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DO A MAJOR REPAIR ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT THAT OLD AND HAS TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET.
