2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I NOTICE A BURNT SMELL UNDER THE TRUCK AFTER COMING HOME AND SEEN OIL ALL UNDER MY TRUCK. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AFTER I SEEN A HUGE LEAK . I FILLED IT UP WITH OIL AND TOOK IT TO THE DEAL STATED 2 ENGINE SEAL OPEN WHEN ENGAIN HAD PRESSURE DURING A DRIVE . THIS HAPPEN AROUND 74 TO 75,000 MILES BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DEAL IT BARLEY HAD OIL I HAD TO PAY 800 DOLLORS OUT OF POCKET.

I WENT TO PLACE MY CHILD IN BOOSTER SEAT WHEN I WENT TO CLICK THE BELT ON IT DID NOT STAY LOOKS LIKE IT IS STUCK OR BROKEN PART IN SIDE. I COULD NOT SIT ANY ONE ONE THE SEAT.

MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN REVERSE WITH ANY TYPE OF INCLINE. WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO A DRIVEWAY, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAVE BACKED UP ON AN INCLINE, WITH OR WITHOUT A TRAILER OR BOAT ATTACHED TO MY TRUCK.

MY 2017 SILVERADO 1500, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT WAS IDLING ROUGH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. SO WHEN I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR A SECOND RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC. WELL THEY SAID IT WAS MISS FIRING DUE TO BAD FUEL INJECTOR CYLINDER 8 WASN'T WORKING SO THEY GAVE ME A PRICE OF 1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNFORTUNATELY WE JUST GOT OUT FROM THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT DIDN'T COVER FUEL INJECTORS SO WE PUT LUCAS FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND IT HELPED. IT SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS REASON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR LOCKS FAILED TO FUNCTION AS DESIGNED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOORS WERE ONLY ABLE TO BE OPENED BY MANUALLY USING THE KEY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY AT STERLING MCCALL CHEVROLET (17800 NORTH FWY, HOUSTON, TX 77090). THE REPAIR WAS PRORATED BY THE DEALER FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR ONLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,115.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING FROM DEALER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOLID. BROUGHT TO DEALER. VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH..DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE AS FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY REPLACED THE PART THROUGH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON BLINKING SAME ISSUE VEHICLE SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH. TOOK TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THEY DIAGNOSED AS BAD FUEL INJECTOR. THEY CLAIMED THE ECM WENT BAD CAUSED BY THE BAD FUEL INJECTOR. THEY REPLACED ECM AND FUEL INJECTORS COSTING THOUSANDS. THEY CONVINCED ME I HAD TO PAY FOR A "PLATINUM FUEL INJECTION SERVICE" AFTER IT WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS ANOTHER $300. I WAS PROMISED THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. I WAS TOLD IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR SAME ISSUE IT WOULD BE COVERED "UNDER GOOD FAITH"...WELL 2 WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AFTER HARDLY EVEN USING THE TRUCK... I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK FOR A PLANNED FAMILY EVEN AND HAD TO PULL OFF IN THE SWELTERING HEAT TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET MY VEHICLE....NOW IT SITS OVER AT THE DEALER AGAIN...THEY WANT ME TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC AGAIN. AND IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN LOOKED AT. FOR THE AMOUNT I PAID FOR THIS TRUCK IT IS DANGEROUS UNTRUSTWORTHY AND EMBARRASSING. AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS FOR FUEL INJECTORS GONE BAD AT EARLY LIFE, WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?

WHILE DRIVING, WARNING MESSAGE ON DIC COMES ON AND SAY POWER STEERING NEEDS SERVICE. POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILS. TRUCK BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. NOT ONLY DOES IT NOT HELP, BUT THE STEERING MOTOR MAKES IT HARDER TO TURN. THIS IS THE THIRD EPISODE OF THIS.THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT RESET. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD SEE CODES IN HISTORY BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM SO UNLESS IT WAS ACTIVELY DOING IT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD FIX (COST ME $200) THE SECOND TIME IT RESET BEFORE I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THIS TIME IT HAS LASTED TWO DAYS.IF IT DOESN'T RESET I WILL TAKE IT IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT.

OUR 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2017. THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK ARE CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX20. I BEGAN TO NOTICE CHUNKS OF RUBBER TREAD COMING OFF OF ALL 4 TIRES WHEN THEY HAD APPROXIMATELY 27,000 MILES. I HAD THEM INSPECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THESE TIRES. THE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 70,000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 36,500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TIRE ROTATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO PITTING AND CHUNKING. THERE IS GOOD TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES, HOWEVER THE RUBBER IS COMING OFF IN HUGE CHUNKS ON ALL 4 TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS.

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL RAPIDLY JERK AND THEN I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION CODE OF C0545, WHICH IS A POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND UPDATED.
