2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

PRESSING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS (DRIVE THRU, PARKING SPACES) SEEMS TO CAUSE A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE BRAKES. THIS CAUSES INCREASED BRAKING PRESSURE TO STOP. YOU CAN HEAR A TICK COMING FROM WHAT I ASSUME IS THE ABS CONTROLLER. THIS HAPPENS IN FORWARDS AND REVERSE.

I NOTICED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS LESS THAN 10MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND VEHICLE KEEPS ROLLING BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAN BE REPLICATED EVERY TIME EVEN WHEN GOING IN REVERSE. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 10MPH, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WORKS JUST FINE. THIS HAS CAUSED A FEW NEAR MISSES WHERE I ALMOST BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING IN REVERSE IN A LOT; ALMOST RAN INTO MY GARAGE DOOR; AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT. IF YOU GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND JUST LIFT YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT APPLYING GAS AND VEHICLE STARTS ROLLING, THEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, IT WILL KEEP ROLLING A FEW FEET BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND ONLY GOES DOWN ABOUT A COUPLE INCHES. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALER.

BRAKES HAVE FLUTTERED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS AT LOW SPEEDS, FEELS LIKE ABS PULSING. IN THE PAST WEEK TO 10 DAYS, BRAKE PEDAL FEELS "DEAD" WHEN I APPLY BRAKES AT LOW SPEED, HAS GONE TO FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE TO BRAKING INPUT. YESTERDAY, WHEN PULLING IN DRIVEWAY TOWARDS GARAGE, MAYBE 3 MPH, APPLIED BRAKES WITH NO RESPONSE. SHIFTED QUICKLY INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED PARKING BRAKE, STOPPING INCHES AWAY FROM GARAGE DOOR. TRUCK WAS IN FOR BRAKE ISSUE RECALL AND WAS RECALIBRATED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2019. APPARENTLY IT NEEDS TO BE RECALIBRATED OR HAVE FURTHER REPAIR.

WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE BREAK PEDAL IT'S NOT SLOWING DOWN AND STOPPING THE TRUCK IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 5X

MY 2017 SILVERADO HAD A RECALL FOR THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED 6 MONTHS AGO. OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND, AN ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELL APPEARED IN THE VEHICLE, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM BEHIND A PLASTIC PART. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE TRUCK OVER AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND EVACUATED MY FAMILY. THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I REMOVED THE FUSE AND RELAYS FOR REAR DEFROST TO PREVENT FUTURE FIRE. CLEARLY THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT ACCOMPLISH FIXING THE SAFETY ISSUE.

I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE STATIONARY, AND BEGAN EXPERIENCING A VIBRATING BRAKE PEDAL/NOISE WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEED (IN DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT). I HAD A 'SERVICE- BRAKE ASSIST' MESSAGE SHOW ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ON 11.3.2020, I EARLY STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT DUE TO A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN EFFORT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THESE SYMPTOMS CONTINUE AT THE MAJORITY OF MY LOW SPEED BRAKES, I HAVEN'T NOTICED IT WHILE ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. COMES BACK IN WHEN TURN OF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON ALMOST THROUGH ME IN THE DITCH A NUMBER OF TIMES. JUST LOSSES ALL POWER STEERING ALL AT ONCE.

TRUCK HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING, HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST ALMOST FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REAR-ENDED. TRUCK SHAKES AND JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, TRUCK VIBRATES AT LOW SPEEDS. BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. TRUCK HAS 13,000 MILES CHEVY SHOULD MAN UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM. VERY DISAPPOINTED

WHEN GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OVER 45 MPH, MY TRUCK HAS A RANDOM SHUDDER THAT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS BUT I AM NOT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS OVER 40 MPH
