2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

OFTEN, WHEN MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS THE ENTIRE ENGINE AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS OFF. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT'S DIFFICULT AND DANGEROUS TO TRY TO COAST TO A SAFE SPOT TO TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. GENERALLY, IT STARTS BACK UP AGAIN WITHIN A FEW MINUTES. IN THE THREE YEARS THAT WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE, IT HAS BEEN TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERSHIPS MORE THAN ONCE AND BOTH DEALERSHIPS SAY THERE'S NO PROBLEM. IT'S FRUSTRATING THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE YET THERE'S NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM AND NO RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING ASSIST INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED THE FAILURE TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING) HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP FROM COMPLAINT #11228752 REGARDING THE AC ISSUES ON CHEVY &GMC PICKUPS FROM 2014 THRU 2017 YEAR MODELS. FROM RESEARCH I DID 98% OF THE FAILURES WAS THE CONDENSER WHICH ALSO INCLUDES THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. MY CONDENSER FAILED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FIRST 3 TUBES BELOW THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER AS DID MY FRIENDS 2016 SIERRA AND ANOTHER FRIEND'S 2016 TEXAS EDITION SIERRA. SAME FAILURE SAME LOCATION AND BETWEEN 60 & 75K. REPAIRED MINE MYSELF & MY WARRANTY PAID ME BACK FOR NEW CONDENSER ($219) BUT NOT THE FREON OR MY LABOR. THERE'S MOST DEFINITELY AN ISSUE ON THIS PART AND SAW NO VISIBLE DIFFERENCE IN THE OLD/ NEW PIECE OTHER THAN A 6'X 6' SQUARE OF ALUMINUM TYPE FLEX PAD IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER ON DRIVER'S SIDE. SIMILAR TO THE 2018 MODELS NOT AFFECTED BY THIS PROBLEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT NUT CAME LOOSE AND FELL ONTO MY FOOT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS THEN LOOSE AND MOVING BACK AND FORTH. THIS IS EXACT WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN A GM RECALL 18278 BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT NUT, REFERENCE NUMBER: N182165530. EXCEPT THAT THE RECALL DID NOT COVER THIS TRUCK. *TR

SEVERE VIBRATION BETWEEN 65 AND 80 MPH. DRIVER MUST STAY BELOW 65MPH. THAT'S DANGEROUS ON A INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. DEALER UNABLE TO REPAIR. DRIVESHAFT SPECIALIST INC. TAMPA FL , TOLD ME DRIVE SHAFT IS DEFECTIVE, THE MATERIAL IS TOO THIN AND IT MUST BE REPLACED , WITH A NEW ONE OF BETTER QUALITY ( THICKER METAL) COST IS 600. TO 800. USD. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 32,000. MILES SEEMS TO HAVE STARTED AROUND 25,000 MILES. *TR

AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, THE TRUCK SHAKES EXTREMELY BAD ON HIGHWAY, I NOTIFIED DEALER THE SAME DAY AND THEY HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION AFTER PERFORMING A ROAD FORCE TEST THAT THE WHEELS ARE EITHER BENT OR DAMAGED. THE SHAKE IS SO BAD IT IS HARD TO HOLD WHEELS STEADY AND TIRE ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OFF. THE DEALER IS STATING THAT THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE COST TO FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE DRIVEN BACK AND FORTH AN HOUR EACH WAY TO DEALER OVER 5 TIMES NOW AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE SITUATION. *TR

WHILE CITY STREET DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (APPROXIMATELY 38,500 MILES) ON 5/14/20 AT VARYING SPEEDS IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. UPON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED. NO PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP ON 5/21/20 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. CODE BOO81 WAS SCANNED AND WIRING CHECKED. DIELECTRIC GREASE WAS ADDED TO CONNECTOR AND POWER REMOVED TEMPORARILY FROM PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE. TECHNICIAN NOTED THE MODULE "RELEARNED" AND ROAD TEST SHOWED NO FURTHER ISSUE. THE POWER WAS RECONNECTED. WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING ON 5/26/20 AT VARYING SPEEDS IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED. ON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD TURN ON THEN OFF. ADDITIONALLY, 5 AUDIBLE WARNING DINGS COULD BE HEARD BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE SEEN. NO PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. AFTER BRINGING THE TRUCK INTO THE SAME GM DEALERSHIP ON 6/2/20, THE SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULES IN THE UNITED STATES. SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARS, NO AIR BAGS WILL WORK IN THE TRUCK. AS OF 6/4/20, I WAS ASSIGNED A SENIOR ADVISOR BY GM TO OVERSEE MY CASE. THE TRUCK REMAINS PARKED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS IT'S CURRENTLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND I HAVE NEVER HOOKED UP TO A TRAILER THAT HAS BRAKES. THIS LIGHTS COMES ON SPORADICALLY.

IT COMES ON IN ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS (CITY, FREEWAY, HIGHWAYS, GRAVEL ROADS...). *TR
