2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY SON WAS BACKING OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING SPACE AT OUR HOTEL. HE CHECKED HIS REAR CAMERA AND SAW THERE WERE CONCRETE POLES CLOSE BEHIND HIM SO HE BRAKED, BUT THE TRUCK JUMPED BACKWARD AND HIT THE POLE DENTING HIS BUMPER.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS, KNOCKS, AND GRINDS IN SOME INSTANCES. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FROM THESE ISSUES BUT SPENT 30K + AND I HAVING THESE ISSUES AT 13,500 MILES.

THE DOOR LOCKS CREATE A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE. I LOCKED MY TRUCK AND WENT INTO A STORE LEAVING AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THE TRUCK. I CAME OUT WITH PACKAGES AND ASKED THE PASSENGER TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. NEITHER THE DOOR LOCK SWITCH OR THE HANDLE WOULD ALLOW HER TO UNLOCK THE DOORS. THERE IS ABSOLTELY NO WAY A PASSENGER CAN GET OUT FOR ANY REASON IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED AND THEY DON'T HAVE THE KEYS. THE DEALER SAY THIS IS PART OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE OWNERS MANUAL DOESN'T GIVE ANY INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO DISARM THIS. PASSENGER LEFT IN TRUCK WITHOUT THE KEYES WITH THE DOORS LOCKED IS IN A DEATH TRAP BUILT BY CHEVROLET.

STEERING LOSS WITH WARNING. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK FOR 100 MILES AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM 8-10 TIMES. IN MOTION, STOPPED, TRANSITIONING INTO MOTION. QUICKLY MOVING FROM FORWARD TO REVERSE.

THE REAR GLASS SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING. NOTHING HIT THE WINDOW. I SHATTERED ON ITS OWN WHILE DRIVING ON A SMOOTH ROAD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND ENDED UP IN A RIVER EMBANKMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND TOWED AWAY. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONERS FAILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A BROKEN BACK AND RECEIVED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

WHEN VEHILCE GOES FROM 6 CYLINDERS TO 4 CYLINDERS IT SHAKES REALLY BAD AND CAUSES HEADACHES AT ALL SPEEDS ! WORSE AT HIGHER SPEEDS

IN APRIL 2018, I PURCHASED A NEW 2018 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERADO. IN NOVEMBER OF 2018 I NOTICED AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON THE CHASSIS. IN MARCH 2019, THE CORROSION HAS INCREASED TO THE TOTAL FRONT OF MY CHASSIS RUSTING. NOTE: THE MARKERS USED AS A REFERENCE FOR THE MANUFACTURE TO ASSEMBLE THE VEHICLE WERE STILL PRESENT, INDICATING A SHARPLY MARKER HAD ADHERED TO THE TRUCK BETTER THAN THE NOXRUST COATING. NOTE: I CLEAN MY VEHICLE REGULARLY( EVERY TWO WEEKS). I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO TWO SEPARATE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS TO NO AVAIL. THEY STATED THAT THE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER STANDARD DAMAGE TO THE PAINT. THE FAULT WAS NOT DAMAGE TO THE PAINT, RATHER THE WAX COATING SIMPLY DID NOT HOLD UP. ACCORDING TO THE SHOP RECORDS, MY TRUCK WAS STILL WITHIN THE 3 YEAR/36,000 MIKE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY MEASURING AT 30,521 MILES. PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED PHOTOS FOR MORE DETAIL.

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OR SHUDDER, ALSO HAS FREE WHEELED WHEN GOING DOWN HILL AT SLOW SPEEDS, ALSO OCCURS IN REVERSE, USUALLY ABOUT 1 TO 2 CAR LENGTHS. HAVE RETURNED TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND BEEN TOLD THAT GM DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY. HAD THE SERVICE RECOMMENDATION OF A TRANSMISSION FLUED FLUSH DONE TWICE WITH DIFFERENT FLUID INSTALLED WITH NO CHANGE. HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERS SHOP FOR 3 WEEKS WITH GM LOOKING AT THE PROBLEM, NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. NO CONFIDENCE THAT GM CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD DEVELOP INTO A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
