2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THERE IS A RECALL FOR MY VEHICLES BRAKES, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THIS SERVICED AS MY BRAKES COMPLETELY WENT OUT ON ME WHILE DRIVING MY CHILDREN THIS MORNING, I SPENT HOURS ON THE PHONE TRYING TO GET DE LUZ TO UNDERSTAND THAT I CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE MY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD AS MY BRAKES DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY.. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY HELP I COULD GET WAS IF I DROVE MY TRUCK 80 MILES TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE I WOULD PROBABLY END UP STRANDED AS THEY ALSO WOULD NOT COVER ANY RENTAL VEHICLE. NOT TO MENTION, AFTER CALLING THIS AUTHORIZED DEALER DIRECTLY, THEY HAD INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SCHEDULE MY SERVICE FOR AT LEAST 3-4 WEEKS FROM NOW. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE A VALID AND VERIFIED RECALL FOR A SAFETY HAZARD AND MY ONLY OPTION IS TO "DRIVE IT AND TRY NOT TO CRASH (WITH MY CHILDREN- AND THEN FIGURE OUT MY OWN RIDE 80 MILES BACK TO MY HOME AND THEN BE CAR-LESS FOR WHO KNOWS HOW LONG??)

APPROACHING INTERSECTION STOP LIGHT, TRIED TO APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR NO BRAKES AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP BUT STILL HAD COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP REVIEWED THE BRAKES IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BOLT WAS MISSING WHICH ALLOWED THE CALIPER TO ROTATE OFF OF THE ROTOR AND CLEAR THE PISTON FROM THE ROTOR SURFACE AND THEN THE PISTON WAS FORCED OUT OF THE CYLINDER AND LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID RESULTED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS HARD AND DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO EAST SYRACUSE CHEVROLET 1 CHEVY DR, EAST SYRACUSE, NY 13057 (315) 437-3311 WHERE DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS CONTACTED WHO REFERRED CONTACT TO ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,344.

I TOOK MY TRUCK IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO FOR A RECALL THAT HAD TO DO WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM. WELL THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, MY BRAKE PEDAL STARTED VIBRATING AND GOT REALLY HARD, I WAS BARELY ABLE TO PRESS THE BRAKE. I SCARY SITUATION THAT I KNOW IS HAPPENING TO A LOT MORE PEOPLE WHO OWN GM TRUCKS. I HOPE YOU GUYS MAKE GM DO A SECOND RECALL FOR 2014-18 GM TRUCKS, TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMPS. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT IT'S A COMMON ISSUE FOR PEOPLE WHO'VE HAD THE FIRST RECALL DONE.

LOST VACUUM ON BRAKES AT LOW SPEED OR STOPPED. WAS INFORMED BY CHEVEROLET DEALERSHIP THAT THE PART I NEED IS ON BACKORDER AND COULD NOT BE FIXED AT THIS TIME. WAS ALSO TOLD THAT GM DOES NOT CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM TO CAUSE THE TRUCK TO BE UNSAFE EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT FEEL SAFE. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART BECAUSE THEY WERE HAVING SO MANY ISSUES WITH IT. IN MY OPINION IT SHOULD BE A RECALL AND THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE PART NEEDED TO KEEP MY TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE. THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME SIGN SOMETHING TO BE ABLE TO LEAVE WITH MY TRUCK. THANKS YOU FOR CONSIDERING THIS ISSUE.

TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE BRAKE ISSUE RECALL BECAUSE I WAS EXPERIENCING LOSS OF BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS. I WOULD PRIMARILY SEE THIS WHEN STUCK IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC OR BACKING MY TRUCK UP TO THE TRAILER.....ETC. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL WHICH THEY SUPPOSEDLY PERFORMED AND FIXED. WELL 2 MONTHS LATER I AM STILL EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUE. I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE THE OTHER DAY AND IT WOULDN'T STOP WHICH CAUSED ME TO HIT MY DIRT BIKES SITTING IN FRONT OF ME. ANOTHER TIME I WAS PULLING UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND CAME TO COMPLETE STOP THEN I LET OFF THE BRAKES AND THEN PRESSED THEM AGAIN AND WHEN I DID THIS I HAD TO MASH IT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR AND IT SOUNDED LIKE THE ABS WERE LOCKING UP OR MAKING A NOISE. I CAME SO CLOSE TO HITTING A PEDESTRIAN IN THE CROSS WALK. SO IN ALL SINCE THE "FIX" 2 MONTHS AGO I HAVE HAD THEM FAIL AND HIT SOMETHING IN MY GARAGE, AND 2 VERY CLOSE CALLS OF ALMOST HITTING ANOTHER CAR OR PERSON. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SINCE ABOUT 15K MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND CURRENTLY I HAVE 55K ON IT. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN VERY RANDOMLY AS IN I COULD DO THE SAME THING AGAIN (PULL INTO GARAGE) AND IT WORKS FINE ONE TIME THEN THE NEXT NOT WORK AT ALL.

AT 44,000 MILES THE OIL PAN LEAKED. TOOK IT TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP, HAD IT FIXED. I HAVE 47000 MILES ON IT NOW. SAME ISSUE HAPPENED, TOOK IT TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP, THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS THE OIL PAN AND HAS TO ORDER A WHOLE NEW OIL PAN. THEN THE DEALERSHIP CALLS ME BACK AND TELLS ME I HAVE BAD OIL COOLING LINES, BUT WANTS ME TO PAY FOR IT. NO WAY, SORRY. CHEVY NEEDS TO STOP MAKING CHEAP JUNK. TRUCK IS 3 YRS OLD AND LESS THEN 50K MILES. I HAVE HAD A FEW OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK IN THE 3 YRS TIME. OIL COOLING LINES KEEPS THE OIL INSIDE THE ENGINE FROM GETTING TO HOT. IT CAN BE A HAZARD FOR THE LINES TO LEAK AND OR THE OIL TO GET TO HOT AND RUIN THE ENGINE CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES WITH PUTTING BUILDS ALL OVER THE HIGHWAYS. OIL COOLING LINES SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND NOT BUMPER TO BUMPER. SOMETHING LIKE THESE OIL COOLING LINES ONLY LAST FOR 3 YRS SHOULD OR LESS THAN 50K MILES IS UNCALLED FOR AND SHOULD BE REPLACED UNDER A RECALL! PERIOD! CHEVY AND GM HAS WENT THE CHEAP ROUTE AND THEIR VEHICLES ARE NOT WORTH THE MONEY. WILL NEVER, EVER TELL SOMEONE TO BUY A AMERICA MADE PRODUCT LIKE CHEVY/GM.

STARTED BY VEHICLE WITH REMOTE START. REAR WINDOW DEFROST WAS ON. I DID HEAR SOME CRACKLING NOISE BY THE WINDOW, BUT AFTER GETTING THINGS AROUND FORGOT ABOUT IT. 20 MINUTES OR SO INTO MY DRIVE I STARTED TO SMELL SOMETHING HOT/ELECTRICAL. NOTICED THE REAR DEFROST WAS STILL ON SO I SHUT THAT OFF TOO SEE IF THAT WAS CAUSING THE HOT SMELL. MOMENTS LATER THE SECTION OF REAR WINDOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG. ALL THE GLASS IN THAT SECTION WAS SHATTERED AND EVENTUALLY FELL OUT THAT BACK (LUCKILY NOT INSIDE). I WAS UNDER MOTION WHEN IT HAPPENED, BUT IT WAS ON A SMOOTH ROAD, NOTHING OVERHANGING ABOVE (LIKE LINES THAT COULD DROP ICE) AND NOT TRAFFIC NEAR ME. THE GLASS PATTERN APPEAR LIKE THE GLASS WAS BLOWN OUT, NOT INWARD LIKE IF IT HAD BEEN IMPACTED BY AN OBJECT.

HARD PETAL AT EXTREMLY LOW SPEEDS SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. DEALER DID RECALL PROGRAMMING CHANGE BUT BRAKES ARE STILL AN ISSUE AT VERY LOW SPEED AND ALSO VERY HARD BRAKING BACKING UP MY TRAILER OR BOAT.

I HAD TAKEN MY TRUCK INTO THE DEALER TO GET AN UPDATE FOR A BARKING ISSUE. A MONTH LATER I AM NOTICING HARD STOPS WHEN BRAKING. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY STATED IT'S A VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. IM SURPRISED THAT THIS IS NOT A RECALL AS THERE HAVE BEEN ALMOST 500 COMPLAINTS FILED.
