THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE RPMS REVVED TO 4,000. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED INDEPENDENTLY BACK IN GEAR AND HE WAS ABLE TO BRIEFLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE BEFORE THE FAILURE RECURRED. LINDSAY CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 15605 JEFFERSON DAVIS HIGHWAY, WOODBRIDGE, VA 22191, 703-832-4837) WAS CALLED AND INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ALSO INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THE FAILURE WAS POSSIBLY DUE TO THE FAILURE LISTED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V374000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE HAD ALREADY RECEIVED THE ONE TIME FREE REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1150,000.

WHILE IN MOTION, ESPECIALLY IN SLOW TURNS, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. POWER STEERING GOES AND BATTERY COMPLETELY DRAINED. WHEN PROBLEM IS OCCURRING DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE AFFECTED. DASHBOARD LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND GO BLANK. TRUCK WILL NOT START UNLESS JUMPSTARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE SUMMER OF 2019. CONTACTED BANKS CHEVROLET AND CONCORD NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS. CONTACTED BANKS CHEVROLET IN CONCORD NEW HAMPSHIRE AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS, ALTHOUGH RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE ARE PRESENT IN OTHER 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS.

9/21 IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC . VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON ONE SIDE OF INTERSECTION WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR AND MOVED TO OTHER SIDE 5 MILES /HOUR SILVERADO WOULD NOT STOP AND DROVE INTO STOPPED JEEP WITH WHEEL ON BACK. NO DAMAGE TO JEEP. JEEP HIT AUDI WITH MINOR BUMPER DAMAGE. DRIVING ON SOUTH BLVD CROSSING CLEAVLAND IN TAMPA, FL. VEHICLE TRAVELED ONLY ACROSS THE INTERSECTION FROM A DEAD STOP. BRAKES FAILED TO STOP VEHICLE. WARRANTY WORK WAS PERFORMED PRIOR TO BRAKE FAILURE. VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY GM 12/7/19 AT JIM BROWN CHEVROLET. . WE ARE WAITING FOR REPLY. VEHICLE NOW SITS AT FURMAN CHEVROLET ON DALE MABRY IN TAMPA, FL.

AFM ACTIVATED ,LIFTER FAILURE OCCURRED. ENGINE CEL BLINKS ERRATIC ENGINE BEHAVIOR SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND BRAKING. TRANSMISSION STARTS SHIFTING IN AND OUT OF GEARS HIGH LOW, SEVERE BUCKING, HIGH ENGINE REVVING, CYLINDER MISFIRE. HARD TO STOP VERY SLOW ACCELERATION DUE TO TRANSMISSION IN WRONG GEAR AND LOSS OF POWER DUE TO COLLAPSED LIFTER. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM THAT GM IS WELL AWARE OF MY 2007 MONTE CARLO HAD SAME ISSUE 8 YEARS LATER THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THE VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND IM SURE THEY WILL COVER THE LIFTER ALL LIFTERS SHOULD BE REPLACED. AND AFM SHOULD BE DISABLED.

TRUCK WITH JUST UNDER 34,000 MILES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR IN AUTOMATIC FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND BEFORE IT WAS RESTARTED, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT INTO FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRUCK HAD AN AUDIBLE NOISE FROM TRANSFER CASE WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION AND THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD NOT CHANGE WHEN MOVING THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SELECTOR SWITCH. CONDITION CAUSED DRIVE-ABILITY PROBLEMS. THE CORRECTION WAS TO REPROGRAM AND SET-UP THE TRANSFER CASE MODULE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY CHEVROLET EVEN AFTER THE SERVICING DEALER ASKED THEM FOR ASSISTANCE. SINCE THERE WAS AN AVAILABLE FIX OFFERED BY GM WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE, SOFTWARE PROGRAMS DO NOT CHANGE WITHOUT INTERVENTION AND THE CONDITION RESULTS IN DRIVE-ABILITY CONCERNS, I BELIEVE THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PRO-ACTIVELY PREVENT THE ISSUE EXPERIENCED AND NOT WAIT UNTIL THE CONSUMER HAS AN ISSUE AND THEN HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

PARKED MY TRUCK CAME OUT TO GET IN AND GO TO WORK AND HAD NO POWER STEERING AT ALL I WAS BACKING UP IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE CREEK CITY STREET UNABLE TO TURN IT EVEN BROKE MY FINGER/TENDON ON FINGER MAY HAVING TO HAVE SURGERY DUE TO NO POWER STEERING AND THE GREAT FORCE I HAD TO USE TO TRY TO GET IT OUT OF THE ROAD

THERE HAS BEEN LOSS OF POWER BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS. THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS A VIBRATING FEEL AS IT IS PRESSED. THE PEDAL WILL GO DOWN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR THE RECALL WORK FOR THE SAME ISSUE WHICH HAD NO EFFECT. I HAD A PRIOR PROBLEM WITH A FUEL INJECTOR GOING OUT WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. THIS CAUSED LOSS OF POWER IN SITUATIONS WHERE POWER IS NEEDED SUCH AS MERGING ON TO A FREEWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE SOMEONE COULD BE KILLED. CHEVROLET SAYS THE FUEL INJECTOR IS NOT PART ON THE ENGINE EVEN THROUGH THE MANIFORD HAD TO BE REMOVED TO REPLACE IT. THE PART WAS NOT REPLACE UNDER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS PART SHOULD NOT BE FAILING UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE.
