2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING, I PUT MY REAR DEFROST ON AND I STARTED SMELLING BURNING I LOOKED IN MY REARVIEW MIRROR AND SEE MY REAL WINDOW SMOKING.

THE CABIN OF THE VEHICLE FILLS WITH CARBON MONOXIDE. THIS IS KNOWN BECAUSE A 4 GAS MONITOR IN THE VEHICLE READ CARBON MONOXIDE LEVELS IN EXCESS OF 400 PPM. THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK AFTER BEING TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS FOUND TO BE A BROKEN BOLT IN THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD. THE PARTS ONLY ESTIMATE WAS $1,700 WITH APPROXIMATELY 9 LABOR HOURS. ONLINE RESEARCH FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. FAILURE TO CORRECT THE CONDITION MAY LEAD TO DRIVERS FAINTING WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE BRAIN INJURY TO A CHILD OR INFANT. A LEAK IN THE EXHAUST BEFORE REACHING THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS ALSO RESULTS IN POSSIBLY EXCESSIVE UNTREATED EMISSIONS. THE EXHAUST LEAK MAY OR MAY NOT POSE A FIRE HAZARD.

PAINT STARTED BUBBLING AND CRACKING OFF. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE PAINT DID NOT ADHERE TO THE PRIMER. I HAVE 32000 MILES. MOSTLY DRIVE ON THE WEEKENDS BECAUSE I WORK ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. I DO NOT DO ANY OFF-ROAD DRIVING. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PAINT TO PEEL.

TRUCK HAS ISSUES STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS. EXTREME PEDAL PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN TOWING, AND ATTEMPTING TO BACK UP A TRAILER, THE PRESSURE REQUIRED ON THE PEDAL MAKES MANEUVERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND UNSAFE. BRAKES ARE A VITAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, AND ARE NEEDED TO SAFELY OPERATE A VEHICLE IN TODAY'S DRIVING ENVIRONMENTS. I HAD THIS LOOKED AT BY A DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL AND SAID THEY "ADJUSTED THE SENSOR", BUT THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SUN RISE CHEVROLET GMC (1800 COVINGTON PIKE, MEMPHIS, TN) WHERE THE BRAKE MODULE WAS REPROGRAMMED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WORSENED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO INDICATED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

SEAT BELT FAILURE! VEHICLE WAS PARKED, I WENT TO PUT ON MY SEATBELT (DRIVER SIDE) AND CABLE ATTACHMENT PART AT BASE OF SEATBELT SEPARATED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, HAD ANY DAMAGE OR ANY WORK DONE TO DRIVER SIDE SEAT. VEHICLE IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND CURRENTLY HAS 56,000 MILES.

A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP WHILE ACCELERATING WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 75 MPH. I KNOW YOU MAY NOT CONSIDER AC A SAFETY FACTOR, BUT WHEN IT'S 110 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND YOUR SITTING ON LEATHER SEATS, HOW COULD THAT NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN?
