2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN STOP-N-GO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT CORRECTLY WHILE GOING FROM 4 CYLINDER TO 8 CYLINDER OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BACHMAN CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 9650 BLUEGRASS PARKWAY, LOUISVILLE, KY 40299, (502) 632-0211) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 36,000. *LN CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO 3 DIFFERENT DEALERS.*JB

CHEVY ADMITS TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER WHICH HAPPENS BETWEEN 25-65MPH WHEN ACCELERATING. *TR

MY TRUCK BEGAN WITH A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK", OVER THE COURSE OF 48 HOURS IT WENT FROM ON HARD BUMPS AND JUST THE NOTIFICATION, TO NOW CONSTANTLY TURNING ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE ABS, BUT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER OUT OF POCKET. THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE DIAGNOSIS ON IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. IF THE ISSUE MATCHES THE SAME ABS ISSUE AS THE RECALLS FOR 2014-2018 MODELS ON THE SILVERADO, WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO FIGHT THE CHARGES? THE WARNING NOTIFICATION AND ICON WOULD LIGHT UP WHEN EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED. 48 HOURS AGO IT WOULD ONLY DO IT WHEN TURNING AT ALMOST FULL ROTATION, OR DRIVING OVER SOME CRACKS ON THE ROAD. NOW IT JUST DOES IT RANDOMLY AND VERY OFTEN TO WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD SHAKE WHEN APPLIED. POWER ALSO GOES DOWN A BIT, AND THE WHEEL WOULD JERK. PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY AS HOW ALL THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BEFORE THE RECALL WHEN IT REACHED YOUTUBE. IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BE TURNING, THEN THE WHEEL WOULD SPRING BACK INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION. BEFORE THIS NOTIFICATION, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE IT WOULD BE VERY SMOOTH. NOW BECAUSE THE TRUCK THINKS THERE'S SOME KIND OF ABS ISSUE, WHEN I BRAKE, IT WOULD SHAKE THE BRAKE RESPONSE (LIKE OLD CARS BEFORE ABS) AND ALSO MAKE THE VEHICLE VERY UNSTEADY. I CANNOT BRAKE ON A STRAIGHT LINE AS IT WOULD SWAY THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, UNINTENDED BRAKING WAS EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WEBER CHEVROLET CREVE COEUR LOCATED AT 12015 OLIVE BLVD, CREVE COEUR, MO 63141 (314) 567-3300 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EBCM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V761000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO IT BEING UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.

LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN IN A SLOW MPH SITUATION SUCH AS DRIVE-THRU OR PARKING LOT SITUATION. REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT PEDAL PRESSURE TO STOP VEHICLE. ALMOST RESULTED IN COLLISION WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK, BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER AWAY BEFORE IMPACT AND STOP SAFELY. MANY REPORT OF VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE CAME UP AFTERWARDS. *TR

CHILD LOCK FEATURE FOR BACK DOOR WON'T SHUT OFF AND LOCK WILL NOT WORK! THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS ON OR OFF IN PARK. *TR

TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKY AT LOWER GEARS AND DOESN'T SWITCH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. HARD SHIFTS UP AND DOWN ESPECIALLY AT GEARS 1-3 .

BACKING DOWN BOAT RAMP WITH BOAT I LOSE THE BRAKES AND ROLLS BACKWARDS BRAKE PEDAL PULSE LIKE ABS TRYING TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW ONLY WHEN BACKING DOWN RAMP WITH BOAT OTHERWISE CAN'T RECREATE.

BRAKES HAVE NO POWER ASSIST AT SLOW SPEEDS. STARTED WHEN PARKING SLOWLY IN REVERSE, BUT ALSO CAN DO IT MOVING FORWARD. BRAKES FAIL AND REQUIRE VERY HARD PRESS OF BRAKE PEDAL TO ENGAGE AT ALL! SEEMS LIKE VACUUM PUMP IS GOING OUT. LOOKS LIKE A COMMON COMPLAINT/PROBLEM THAT CHEVY SHOULD RECALL AND HAS NOT. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!

I HAD GM RECALL N192268490 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN 19V645) COMPLETED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. TODAY AS I WAS BACKING UP AT LOW SPEED I ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE DUE TO INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE.
