2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I USED MY REMOTE START, FROM THE KEY FOB, WHILE I WENT INSIDE THE STORE. I CAME OUT OF THE STORE AND HAD HEAVY SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOWS AND DEFROSTER AREA. IT SMELLED OF A CAR FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY GOT INTO THE TRUCK AND TURNED IT OFF. I NOTICED THE SMOKE DISSIPATED AND I STARTED THE TRUCK TO GET HOME. THE DEFROSTER WAS LEFT OFF AND I THEN STARTED TO DRIVE OUT OF THE PARKING LOT. NOT EVEN 30SECONDS LATER THE WINDOW THAT HAD SMOKE COMING FROM SHATTERED. IT IS IN MY LINE OF SIGHT.

CATALYTIC CONVERTER FAILED WITH LESS THAN 80,000 MILES. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP, DENOOYER CHEVROLET, FROM WHICH IT HAD BEEN BOUGHT NEW AND BY WHICH IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED TO REMEDY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT PRIOR TO 80,000 MILES WITH AUTHORIZATION TO PERFORM ANY DIAGNOSTIC AND REMEDIATION COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. DEALER DID NOT MAKE REPAIR AND ADVISED IT WOULD COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO EVEN FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I NOW HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO A SEPARATE SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS AND WAS TOLD A CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAS GONE BAD. HOWEVER, I AM NOW SLIGHTLY AT 89,000 MILES. DEALER IS SAYING WARRANTY ON CATALYTIC CONVERTS EXPIRED AT 80,000 MILES. FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WARPED WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. A/C COOLING COIL CRACKED UNDER 80,000 MILES AS WELL DUE TO A FAULTY PART, AND APPARENTLY THAT WARRANTY EXPIRED AT 30,000 MILES.

SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT BULLETIN 17336 FOR AC CONDENSER. CONDENSER LEAKS AND BREAKS. REPLACEMENT REQUIRED BUT REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT SUB PAR AND ALSO PRON FOR FAILURE. CHEVROLET WILL NOT COVER COST OF REPLACEMENT OF CONDENSER STATING THAT THE VEHICLE WITH 85,000 MILES IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS A NATION WIDE ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A TOTAL OF 15 RECALLS ON IT. I AM REQUESTING ASSISTANCE WITH THE COST OF THE REPAIR. DUE TO MY ALLERGIES AND THIS TIME OF THE YEAR DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND NO AC IS AFFECTING MY PHYSICALLY. THE CUSTOMER CARE CENTER FOR CHEVORLET IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND AND HAVE BEEN AVOIDING MY CLAIM SINCE 3/03/2020. TODAY IS 3/11/2020. THUS FAR THEY HAVE OFFERED TO COVER ONLY $215 OF $879+TAX REPAIR THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF IS A NATION WIDE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP.

I WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKE STRENGTH WENT EXTREMELY LOW. I TOOK IT TO THE AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WENT HAD. ALSO, THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT HAS A ROCK TO IT WHEN YOUR WEIGHT IS SHIFTED SOMETIMES.

RPMS WERE RISING ABOVE 6,000 WITHOUT ANY POWER. RANDOMLY WHILE ON HIGHWAY, TRUCK ONLY HAD 112,000 MILES ON IT AND HAD TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN. AND HAS HAD MANY OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS THE LIFTERS CLOSING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AND BRAKE ISSUES. THE WORST MODEL TRUCK EVER MADE.

WHILE IN REVERSE BACKING UP FROM PARKING SPOT WITH 2 LANE TRAFFIC BEHIND PARKING LOCATION, APPLIED BRAKES AND WAS UNABLE TO STOP COMPLETELY. BRAKES WENT INTO WHAT FELT LIKE ANTI LOCK AND PUMPED WHILE I WAS TRYING TO STOP. SECOND TIME COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN, APPLY BRAKES AND BRAKE PUSHED BACK AND WAS UNABLE TO FULLY STOP

BRAKES WORKED GREAT DURING THREE HOUR DRIVE UNTIL I PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE. THE RPMS DROPPED AND WHILE I WAS BACKING UP I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO STOP IN TIME BEFORE HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP AND THERE ARE MANY FORUM REVIEWS OF THE SAME ISSUE

MENARDS ENTRANCE PARKING LOT, APPROACHING A LEFT TURN INTO THE PARKING LOT, APPLIED BRAKES AND SLID INTO THE CORNER POLE LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE BUILDING, TRUCK WAS UNABLE TO STOP!, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE AND CAUSING PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO MY WIFE. BEFORE ACCIDENT HAPPENED I DID REPORT THE FAULTY BRAKING SYSTEM TO LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP 3X, STILL HAVING ISSUES, 2ND ACCIDENT IN A PARKING LOT TRUCK AGAIN WOULDN'T STOP! RUNNING INTO THE SIDE OF A CEMENT PARKING WALL, THIS IS WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN THE 4TH X AND THEY TELL THAT IT WAS FIXED! AND AGAIN WHILE DRIVING OUT OF THE DEALER SHIP SHOP DROVE ABOUT A MILE, COMING TO PARK THE TRUCK AGAIN WOULDN'T STOP HAD TO AVOID HITTING A ONCOMING CAR THAT WAS LEAVING THAT AREA. AFTER ALL THIS I CONTACTED GM HEADQUARTER AND THEY SENT A INSPECTOR OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE, RECENTLY CONTACTED ME AND EXPLAIN THAT WELL THE TRUCK WAS IN AN ACCIDENT! AND THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM BRAKE WITH A NEW ONE! THE TRUCK IS OPERATING OKAY! ALREADY FRUSTRATED ASKED WHAT ABOUT THE DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK! AND TO MY WIFE, RESPONSE I WILL HAVE TO GET BACK TO YOU! DID GET BACK TO ME WELL WE CAN PAY FOR THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK DAMAGE BUT THAT'S IT, WHAT ABOUT MY WIFES NECK INJURY, NO REPLY, ASK TO GET HIM A ESTIMATE AND FAX. SO THAT'S WHERE IM AT WITH THIS, STILL WAITING, WITH MY WIFE STILL ENDURING PAIN AFTER THE 1ST ACCIDENT. NO SATISFACTION YET.

ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION I HAVE LOST STEERING CONTROL WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT LOW SPEED. THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO LOCK UP FOR ONE TO TWO SECONDS MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN RIGHT. 1. IN TURNING LANE ON CITY STREET TURNING RIGHT ONTO SIDE STREET. FROM STATIONARY POSITION I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO TURN RIGHT AND CROSS TRAFFIC. STEERING LOCKED UP AND TRUCK WOULD NOT TURN RIGHT. IN ABOUT A SECOND OR SO THE STEERING FREED AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE ON 2. AT A DRIVE THROUGH CAR WAS IN STATIONARY POSITION. AT THE END OF WASH AND DRY OUT TRUCK IN DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO TURN RIGHT. STEERING LOCKED UP AND I WAS UNABLE TO TURN RIGHT FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR SO. THEN STEERING FREED AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED. 3. AT STOP LIGHT STATIONARY MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN PRESSED ON GAS AND STEERING LOCKED UP FOR A SECOND OR SO. THEN STEERING FREED AND I WAS ABLE TO PROCEED.

OUR 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 HAD TRANSMISSION ISSUES AT 38,000 MILES AND THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 84 MILES WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST GEAR AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I COULD ONLY DRIVE ABOUT 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT FELT LIKE I WAS PUSHING THE ENGINE. THIS WAS WHILE RETURNING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF A VEHICLE WE PAID GOOD MONEY ON. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IS LINE WITH 15 OTHER VEHICLES WITH TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THIS IS NOT WHAT I THOUGHT CHEVROLET GM WAS ABOUT WITH THE PRODUCTION OF THEIR VEHICLES.
