2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

IT IS VERY HARD TO STOP THE TRUCK AT LOW SPEEDS (1-5MPH). THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE BEING APPLIED. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST WEEK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THANKFULLY, WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT, BUT IT COULD CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT OR OTHER TRAFFIC SITUATION. AFTER READING, IT APPEARS THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME, BUT I DON'T SEE A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NEW.

TRUCK WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SUBSEQUENT RESTARTS OF THE TRUCK RESULTED IN THE CODE CLEARING ITSELF AND NORMAL START UP. NOW IT IS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING UP ON A COLD START, ESPECIALLY WITH REMOTE START.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH JUST OVER 102,000 MILES ON IT. I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. IT WENT NOWHERE - FORWARD REVERSE BOTH DONE. TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP.

RADIO WILL FLASH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE RADIO AND WILL CHANGE STATION AND SETTING ON TRUCK WHEN MOVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN PARKED WILL CONNECT TO PEOPLE PHONE BY IT'S SELF NEXT TO ME

APRIL 04,2021. STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC ON I-10 , 17 MILES EAST OF LAFAYETTE .LA. WHILE SITTING APPROX. 10 TO 12 FEET BEHIND THE AUTO , A FORD 350 WITH A TRAILER STRUCK ME FROM BEHIND AT APPROX. 50 PLUS MPH. THE IMPACT PUSHED ME INTO THE CARIN FRONT. TOTALLY DESTROYED THE REARED. MY REARED AND FRONTEND WAS DAMAGE. MY FRONT BUMPER CAVED IN. AFTER IMPACT, MY TRUCK CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY AIR BAG LIGHT DISPLAYED THAT BAGS WAS DEPLOYED BUT THEY DIDN'T. GOT OUT OF TUCK BECAUSE AT THE TIME, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER SUCH AN SERIOUS IMPACT FROM THE BACK AND FRONT, I WAS VERY DISCOURAGE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO

TWICE ON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING (THE COLUMN UNLOCKED)WOULD NOT STEER. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE COLUMN NO MATTER IF I MOVE IT FORWARD OR REVERSE. NO AMOUNT OF TWISTING WOULD ALLOW IT TO STEER. I WORRY IT MAY FAIL IN ACTION ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER SAID THE STEERING MODULE NEEDED UPDATING AND THEN BECAUSE IT WAS 57 MILES OUT OF WARRENTEE CHARGED ME $186. NO GARRENTEE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

THE CLUTCH TORQUE CONVERTERS WEAR OUT SO FAST AND THEY WEAR OUT SO CLOSE TO THE END OF THE VEHICLES WARRANTY

RADIATOR FAILED AT 58K MILES IN DECEMBER 2019. DEALER INDICATED THAT THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE COSTS TO REPAIR. QUOTED COST WAS $3800. REPAIRED AT INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR $2900. NOW, MARCH 2021, THE RADIATOR HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 78K MILES. NORMAL CITY DRIVING. NO OFF-ROADING OR RACING. THIS FAILURE CAUSES OIL TO MIX WITH COOLANT. MANY MECHANIC LABOR HOURS REQUIRED AS BOTH COOLING AND OIL SYSTEMS NEED TO BE THOROUGHLY FLUSHED TO REMOVE RESIDUAL COOLANT AND OIL.

I NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES IT FEELS THAT IT IS NOT CATCHING THE GEAR AND WILL SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I'VE SEEN THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS 2017 MODEL YEAR FOR THIS CHEVROLET SILVERADO.

WHILE PARKING, AT LOW SPEEDS, MY BRAKE PEDAL TURNED STIFF AND I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO PUSH IT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M AT A LOW SPEED AND CAN BE MADE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR A GOOD WHILE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A RECALL, WHICH I DON'T PERSONALLY THINK THEY DID. I THOUGHT THE RECALL WAS TO FIX THIS LOW SPEED ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF THE 2017 SILVERADO'S. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SITUATION OF LOW SPEEDS. I TOW A BOAT AND IT DOES IT WHILE I'M BACKING MY BOAT INTO THE WATER. AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO USE MY BOAT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE? IS IT MY FAULT THAT GM DECIDED TO USE SUBPAR PARTS TO SAVE MONEY? THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL AND PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING YOU CHANGE ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT PARTS IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. RIDICULOUS.
