2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY TRUCK HAD AN AFM COLLAPSED LIFTER FAILURE. IT OCCURRED UNDER A HARD ACCELERATION EVENT TO CHANGE LANES. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LIFTER, RETURNING THE VEHICLE TO ME. I GOT DOWN THE ROAD, TESTED IT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN! THIS TIME THERE WAS A LOT OF INTERNAL ENGINE NOISE, REALLY LOUD. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THEY NTESTED IT UNDER A HARD ACCELERATION; THEY DID NOT. THEY REPLACED THE #6 PISTON AND THE VALVES ASSOCIATED WITH THE #6 PISTON. ALL WORK PERFORMED WAS DONE ON #6, EVEN THE INITIAL COLLAPSED LIFTER. I PICKED IT UP AGAIN AND AGAIN A HARD ACCELERATION PRODUCED MISFIRES! I HAD IT TOWED IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND ASKED THEM IF THEY HAD TESTED IT WITH HARD ACCELERATION. THE RESPONSE WAS @ 3300 RPM. I TOLD THE SERVICE WRITER THAT, IF YOU DO NOT TEST IT UNDER HARD ACCELERATION YOU WILL NOT EVEN HAVE IT MISFIRE! HE REDID THE TEST AND VOILA, HE CAN SEE IT NOW! TECHNICAL RESOURCES TOLD THEM TO REPLACE VLOM, OR "VALVE LIFTER OIL MANIFOLD". I GOT IT BACK AND IT DOES WORK, MORE OR LESS. A HARD ACCELERATION WILL PRODUCE UNEVEN ACCELERATION BUT WITHOUT THE PREVIOUS ISSUES. I AM WORKING FOR NOW. I CONDUCTED SOME FURTHER RESEARCH WHICH I AM PROBE TO DO AND FOUND AN ACDELCO YOUTUBE VIDEO: HTTPS://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=MKLY7XMMSOS&FEATURE=YOUTU.BE&FBCLID=IWAR2ZVZPVJ6Z6E3SELJZGVXZERU8PTLLKGPKQTFXMRSNS7OQENCOLHRRGI_I. THIS VIDEO STATES THAT IF YOU HAVE AN AFM LEVENT THAT INVOLVES A COLLAPSED LIFTER YOU MUST REPLACE A PLETHORA OF PARTS. THAT WAS NOT DONE. I HAVE CHANGED MY OIL ON A MORE FREQUENT BASIS THAN GM REQUIRES AND I USE AMSOIL SIGNATURE SERIES10W20, THE BEST YOU CAN BUY! I ALSO USE THEIR EA0 FILTERS WHICH STATE YOU CAN GO UP TO 25K MILES OR 1 YEAR BETWEEN CHANGES! I TYPICALLY DO 10K MILES AS A HIGH POINT. I HAVE SWICTHED PREFERRED DEALERS TO GET A DIFFERENT TECHNICAL RESPONSE...HELP!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN HE STARTED THE VEHICLE THE AUDIBLE INDICATOR LIGHTS DID NOT WORK. THIS INCLUDED THE INDICATOR SOUND FOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN REVERSE TO WARN OF ANY POSSIBLE COLLISIONS. THE PASSENGER SIDE INDICATOR SOUND IF THE SEATBELT AND DOOR WERE AJAR DID NOT WORK AS WELL. THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR ANTITHEFT PROTECTION AND ROLLAWAY PREVENTION ALSO DID NOT WORK. THE DEALER HUTCH CHEVROLET BUICK GMC1004 3RD ST, PAINTSVILLE, KY 41240 (606) 297-4066 SAID TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE BEFORE THE REPAIR FEES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO SAID THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL AND TRANSFERRED THE CONTACT BACK TO THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS UNREPAIRED PARKED AT THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I KEEP HAVING A PROBLEM WHERE I HAVE NO SOUND IN MY TRUCK AT ALL. NO RADIO OR BLINKER NOISE. I HAVE TRIED TO TAKE OUT THE FUSE AND REPLACE IT AND THAT DOESN'T WORK. IF I TURN THE TRUCK ON OR OPEN THE DOOR I ALREADY KNOW IF I'M GOING TO HAVE THE PROBLEM. THE OPEN DOOR CHIME DOESN'T COME ON. THE NEXT TIME I OPEN THE DOOR IT MIGHT WORK. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE OR WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT I KNOW I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM.

I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE 4 WINDSHIELDS FROM CRACKS BEGINNING ON THE BOTTOM RIGHT (PASSENGER) SIDE OF VEHICLE.

WHEN DRIVING TRUCK ON A BUSY ROAD THE WARNING SIGN OF (SERVICE STABILITRAK) POPS UP ON DASHBOARD AND LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER TURNING ON AND OFF AS THE TRUCK WOULD ALSO SEEM TO TURN OFF AND QUICKLY BACK ON REGAINING ELECTRIC POWER. WHEN REVERSING IT STARTED LOCKING THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING SIGN WOULD POP UP. TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP TWICE FOR RECALLS AND THEY SAID PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED AND NOW IT'S THERE FOR THE THIRD TIME AS WE SPEAK. WHEN I PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY I WAS ABLE TO RECORD THE INCIDENT AND VIDEO WAS SENT TO DEALERSHIP MECHANIC. LAST SUNDAY AS I HEADED OUT TO BUY DINNER, MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE RUNNING FINE. I NOTICED THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKERED TWICE AND THAT WAS IT. WHEN I WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES FROM MY RESIDENCE (SERVICE STABILITRAK) WARNING POPPED ON DASHBOARD AND TRUCK COMPLETELY TURNED OFF LOCKING MY BRAKES LOOSING COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WENT ON ITS OWN INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION GOING DOWNHILL. STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE WAS LOCKED LOOSING ALL ELECTRICAL AND DRIVING CONTROL. IT WOULD NOT TURN, IT WOULD NOT DO ANY CHANGES. MY TRUCK ENDED UP BUMPING INTO A SIDEWALK, I WAS TERRIFIED AS I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE. SHAKING IN FEAR I TRIED TO RESTART MY TRUCK AND IT DID TURN ON. I WENT INSIDE THE SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT, PARKED AND CALLED AAA SO MY VEHICLE COULD BE TOWED TO OUR NEAREST DEALERSHIP. WE HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR TUESDAY DUE TO NEGATIVE REVIEWS AND THEY WERE GOING TO LOOK AT OUR VEHICLE AGAIN. HOWEVER, I NEVER EXPECTED THAT I WOULD ALMOST LOOSE MY LIFE. IT'S THE THIRD TIME IT'S BEEN SEEN AND I FEAR IT WILL BE THE SAME SCENARIO. I CANNOT PUT MY FAMILY'S LIFE AT RISK. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP BEING SERVICED. I WILL NOT BE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNLESS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN PROOF THAT THEY FIXED THE ISSUE. I HAVE DOCUMENTATION FOR PROOF.

TOUCH SCREEN DOES NOT RESPOND AND HANDSFREE MALFUNCTIONS. GPS MAP ALSO DOES NOT RESPOND. RADIO SWITCHES STATIONS ON ITS OWN AND CAR PLACES PHONE CALLS ON MUTE. ALL OF THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION EITHER IN THE CITY OR ON THE HIGHWAY. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH CHEVROLET FOR OVER A YEAR ON THIS AND THEY DON'T DEEM TO BE ABLE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS THAT SHOW CUSTOMERS WITH SIMILAR COMPUTER ISSUES.

THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER LEAKS AT ONE OF THE SIDE WELDS. THIS CAUSES LOSS OF AIR CONDITIONING BUT ALSO THE DEFROSTER FUNCTION SO THE INTERIOR WINDOWS FOG OVER AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE (GM CHANGED THE CONDENSER DESIGN IN LATER YEARS BUT DID NOT ISSUE A TSB). THE COST TO HAVE THIS CORRECTED IS ANYWHERE FROM $880-$1200 DOLLARS DEPENDING ON THE DEALER. IT IS ALSO SUCH A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT THE REPLACEMENT OEM CONDENSER IS ON BACKORDER FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW SPEEDS. NO RECALL ON VIN NUMBER. RECALL WITH SIMULAR ISSUES ON SAME MAKE/ MODEL PER DEALERSHIP

OUT OF NO WHERE I GET IN MY TRUCK AND START DRIVING. I HEAR A HISSING SOUND FROM THE BACK WINDOW. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT IS SMOKING SO I TURN MY TRUCK OFF THEN BACK ON HISSING IS GONE. I HAVE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON IT TO MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND TRUCK WAS RUNNING. ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR THIS POP AND I LOOK BACK AND RIGHT NEXT TO THE PART THAT WAS SMOKING THE WINDOW COMPLETELY SHATTERED. .

TRUCK BRAKE PEDAL PUSHES TO THE FLOOR AT LOW SPEEDS AND BRAKING. AFTER PUMPING THE PEDAL IT COMES BACK UP BUT THEN PRESSES TO THE FLOOR AGAIN. VEHICLE IS NOT BRAKING PROPERLY!
