2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND COMING TO A STOP OR REVERSING THE BREAK PEDAL FEELS SUPER STIFF AND TURN MAKES A NOISE. I JUST PUT IN 600 DOLLARS ON BREAK JOB.

WHILE DRIVING, THE RADIO AND ALL OTHER ELECTRIC COMPONENTS WILL GO DARK OR QUIT WORKING ALTOGETHER, INCLUDING THE AC BLOWER, COMPRESSOR, HEADLIGHTS, ETC. SOMETIME I GET THE STABILITRACK ALERT WITH 3 OR 4 TONES, WHICH RESETS AUTOMATICALLY. WHEN WAITING IN A DRIVE THROUGH LINE TODAY, WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WHILE WAITING IN LINE, I SOMETIMES PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK. WHEN I DEPRESS THE BRAKE, AND MOVE THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL INTO DRIVE, IT HAPPENS, AND MORE FREQUENTLY, THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF. WHEN TURNING THE WHEEL, THE POWER STEERING SEEMS TO GO OUT, MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE, ALL THE WHILE THE STABILITRACK ALARM GOES OFF, THE HEADLIGHTS GO DARK, THE AC SHUTS DOWN, THE DASH DISPLAY GOES DARK, THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE UP AND DOWN, AND THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN. TODAY, IT ALMOST CAUSED ME NOT TO NEGOTIATE TURNING FROM A MAJOR ROAD INTO A PARKING LOT. I LOST ALL POWER TO THE STEERING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN, AND MY BRAKES WERE NON-EXISTENT. AFTER READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE, I DECIDED I NEEDED TO TELL MY STORY. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICES, AND HAVE NOT VENTURED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS, FEARING EXPOSURE TO THE COVID-19 VIRUS. AFTER READING EVERYONE ELSE'S PROBLEMS, AND HEARING THAT EVEN THE RECALL REPAIRS DO NOT FIX THE PROBLEM, I CANNOT HELP BUT WONDER IF THERE IS MORE GOING ON HERE THAN GM IS WILLING TO ADMIT. I WILL NOT LET MY WIFE DRIVE THIS VEHICLE, BECAUSE IF IT HAPPENS TO HER, THERE IS NO WAY SHE CAN MANEUVER A STALLED VEHICLE WITH NO POWER STEERING AND NO BRAKES. SO IT LOOKS I HAVE THE SAME STORY AS OTHERS, AND NO REAL SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEM THAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE WILLING TO FIX, OR EVEN ADMITTING THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM.

THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD TO TURN AT LOW SPEEDS LIKE IT'S GOING OUT. WHEN I STOP AND TURN THE WHEEL THE HEADLIGHTS DIM.

WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY I LOST POWER STEERING - THIS HAPPENED AFTER RECALLS WERE PERFORMED. ON THE THIRD VISIT TO THE DEALER I WAS ASKED TO PAY FOR ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSIS TO RESOLVE THE REOCCURRING POWER STEERING ISSUE. WALKED OUT OF DEALERSHIP, WASTED MY MORNING.

AIR CONDITIONING STOPPED COOLING OVER THE COURSE OF JUST A FEW DAYS, TO THE POINT OF ZERO COOLING. REFILLED REFRIGERANT, WORKED FOR ABOUT 3 DAYS, THEN STOPPED AGAIN. HAPPENED DURING ALL PHASES OF DRIVING, WHETHER MOVING OR STOPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CARON CHEVROLET (1201 W MICHIGAN AVE, MARSHALL, MI 49068), TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE SAME DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE RECALL REPAIR WAS A ONE TIME FREE REPAIR AND THAT ANY ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WERE PERFORMED AT THE VEHICLE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 179,600.

ME AND OVER 100 PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE 6 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS IN THE 2014+ SILVERADOS. MINE CURRENTLY IS SHIFTING HARD. ALL OF THESE VEHICLES ARE EXPERIENCING WAY TOO MANY ISSUES BEFORE THEY SHOULD (LESS THAN 150K MILES). SOMETIMES MY TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT AND LEAVES ME GOING AT AN UNSAFE SLOW RATE OF SPEED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY

A/C UNIT DOES NOT WORK. RECHARGE THE SYSTEM AND IT LEAKS OUT. GM/CHEVROLET KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND HAS RECALLED OTHER MODELS USING THE SAME EQUIPMENT. NOT ON THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO MODELS. NO MENTION OF LEAKS OR ISSUES BY THE DEALERSHIP DURING REGULAR MAINTENANCE. ON JUNE 20TH 2020 I PAID TO HAVE THE SYSTEM RECHARGED, DIDNT BLOW REALLY COLD BUT GRADUALLY IT GOT WARMER, NOW IT BLOWS HOT AIR. LAST FALL OCT 2019 IT WAS NOT BLOWING COLD AIR, IN FEBRUARY 15 2920 WHILE DRIVING THE AIR SEEMED TO GET WARMER, COULD NOT KEEP THE CAB COOL. AFTER REVIEWING RECALL INFORMATION AND OTHER REVIEWS OF ISSUES I SEE THAT THE $1,100 OR MORE FOR REPLACEMENT OF CERTAIN EQUIPMENT, PLUS THE LONG DELAY BECAUSE GM/CHEVROLET HAS A SHORTAGE OF THE SPECIFIC PARTS (BACK ORDERED). I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FORCE GM/ CHEVROLET TO FIX THIS ISSUE THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT SINCE BEFORE MY TRUCK WAS EVEN BUILT.

THE POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR QUICK WORKING AROUND 36K MILES MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN THE AFFECTED DOOR(S) FROM THE OUTSIDE AND CAN ONLY BE OPENED BY PULLING THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE WHICH IS DIFFICULT WITH A CREW CAB. I FEAR THAT IF A BELTED PASSENGER WHO IS UNABLE TO UNBUNDLED IN A ACCIDENT OR FIRE MAY BE SUBJECTED TO DANGER. I HAVE READ OF THESE LOCK ACTUATORS FALLING EARLIER THE AVERAGE AND GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR PAST THE EXACT MANUFACTURER WARRANTY LIMIT.
