2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC GOING 5MPH OR LESS. BRAKES KEPT SLIPPING AND HAD TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE MY TRUCK STOP ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MULTIPLE TIMES. BRAKE ASSIST KEPT POPPING UP ON THE DASH. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS.

WHILE IN THE DRIVE THROUGH, MY BRAKES FADED AND MY TRUCK WOULD BARLEY STOP. THE PEDAL FELT DIFFERENT. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY SERVICE "BRAKE ASSIST" WARNING CAME ON. FROM WHAT I READ, IT APPEARS TO VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER TRUCKS MY YEAR ARE EXPERIENCING BUT MINE WASN'T COVERED BY ANY RECALLS??

AT SLOW SPEEDS, TYPICALLY IN PARKING LOTS OR RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH THE BREAKING SYSTEM FAILS AND I HAVE NO BRAKES. THIS HAS OFFERED 3 TIMES. MY TRUCK HAS 38000 MILES.

DRIVING LONG DISTANCES CAUSED BALL JOINTS AND A ARMS TO BREAK. FIRST TRIP WAS RIGHT FRONT A ARM AND BALL JOINT SECOND WAS LEFT FRONT BOTH WERE REPLACED AND A YEAR LATER LEFT FRONT WENT OUT AGAIN THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. NEW TI TIRED WERE WORN OUT ON ONE TRIP.

THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN MY BACK WINDOW GOT SO HOT IT SHATTERED MY BACK WINDOW. COULD SMELL ELECTRICAL SMOKE POST INCIDENT. REAR DEFROST WAS IN USE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON EXACT SAME TRUCK MODEL AND YEAR IN CANADA BUT CURRENTLY NOT IN THE US. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED.

VEHICLE HAS A TICKING NOISE AND UNDER POWERED. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER. VALVE COVERS REMOVED AND VALVES ARE NOT OPENING COMPLETELY. CAM LOBE IS WORN. REMOVED BOTH CYLINDER HEADS, OIL PAN AND TIMING COVER. REPLACED CAM SHAFT AND ALL 16 LIFTERS, REPLACED THE VLOM.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING ACCELERATING UPHILL. ACCELERATOR DIFFICULT TO PRESS WHEN ACCELERATING AND MOST TIMES HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT TWO GEARS TO GET UP TO THE DESIRED SPEED AND ELIMINATE SAID SHUTTER

MY 2017 (1500) SILVERADO LTZ RUNS ROUGH WHEN EVER THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. IT EVEN RUN ROUGH WHEN IT'S PARKED AND NOT MOVING. THE SHIFTING IS ROUGH AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT, A STOP SIGN OR JUST AT A COMPLETE STOP, I HAVE TO TAKE OFF FAST BECAUSE IF I TAKE OFF SLOWLY, MY TRUCK WILL JERK INCREDIBLY HARD. I TURNED ON MY TRUCK ONE MORNING AND IT JUST WAS SHAKING SO BAD AND OUT OF CONTROL. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS DONE AND I HAVE 3 BAD FUEL INJECTORS. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $1400 FOR THE REPAIRS, NOT HAPPENING. GM HAS ISSUED FREE REPAIRS FOR THESE INJECTORS SINCE THEY'RE A COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THESE TRUCKS BUT THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWING THE FREE REPAIRS DONE IN 13 STATES AND MY STATE, (IDAHO) IS NOT ONE OF THEM. IT'S A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH ONLY 43,000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE A REPAIR THAT'S OVER $1,000 DOLLARS. THAT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME AND IT WOULDN'T SIT RIGHT WITH YOU IF YOU WERE IN MY SHOES. IM AFRAID I'LL BE STRANDED OUT ON THE ROAD WITH A FAIRLY PERFECTLY NEW, LOW MILEAGE TRUCK. THIS IS NOT A OWNERS PROBLEM, IT'S A GM PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THEM, NOT BY THE OWNERS.

REAR GLASS SHATTERED WITH DEFROST ON. PRIOR TO SHATTERING I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I WAS PARKED IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE THROUGH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD PREVIOUSLY USED THE REMOTE START TO START THE CAR.

WHILE DRIVING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNING RIGHT ALL POWER COMPLETELY QUIT, I WAS STUCK WITH PART OF MY TRUCK IN THE ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS NOTHING, VERY SCARY CARS COMING MY WAY COULDN'T SEE ME AND WERE HONKING WHEN THEY DID. SPEED LIMIT ON ROAD IS 45MPH AND MANY CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME MY POWER CAME BACK ON AND I STARTED BACK UP. THIS TIME I CALLED WRECKER AND BY THE TIME HE ARRIVED I HAD GOTTEN HELP TO PUSH ME OFF THE ROAD. FOR SOME ODD REASON THE TRUCK RESUMED POWER AGAIN AND IS IN MY DRIVEWAY. IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WHICH I HAD BEEN ON THAT NIGHT I MIGHT NOT BE WRITING THIS CONCERN TO YOU TODAY. I HAVE SOME SIMILAR STORIES REGARDING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS YET NO RECALLS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE THIS GOES FRO HERE. THANKS[XXX] MY E-MAIL IS [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
