HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE EPS CUTTING OUT AFTER THE TRUCK WAS CRANKED AND THE WHEEL WAS TURNED IMMEDIATELY TO ONE SIDE. TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO DEAL WITH THE RECALL OUT ON THE VEHICLE WHICH DEALT WITH EPS CUTTING OUT. A WEEK LATER, WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT THE EPS CUT OUT YET AGAIN (THIS TIME WHILE MOVING) AND STRAIGHTENED THE STEERING WHEEL BACK UP. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD HIT BECAUSE I LOST ALL CONTROL OF THE STEERING. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO. SOMEONE COULD HURT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS THE SERVICE POWER STEERING BOX POPS UP IN THE DASH.

PAINT STARTED PEELING ON THE A PILLAR DRIVER SIDE AND IS NOW PEELING ON PASSENGER SIDE SAME PLACE. ALSO DRIVER SIDE REAR WINDOW CORNER PEELING AS WELL AS PASSENGER SIDE REAR WINDOW CORNER PAINT PEELING SAME PLACE. PAINT IS NOW STARTING TO PEEL ABOVE THE REAR DOOR ON THE ROOF AS WELL. I SPOKE TO CHEVY DEALER AS WELL AS CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE BBB ALL SAID OUT OF WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT AND THE DISCOVERY RULE SHOULD APPLY AS THERE WAS NO WAY FOR ME TO KNOW THE PAINT WAS DEFECTIVE WITHIN THE WARRANTY PERIOD.

WHEN PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THIS MORNING I NOTICED AND ORANGE GLOW AND SMOKE FROM THE BACK WINDOW. IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE FROM THE BACK DEFROST THAT IS ON RECALL IN CANADA FOR THIS SAME VEHICLE. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL IN THE US? WHAT IF I WAS DRIVING AND MY KIDS WERE IN THE CAR? COMPLETELY UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE ANY ONE GETS HURT.

THIS TRUCKS MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE SAFETY FEATURES AND CHIMES NOT WORKING, THERE WAS A RECALL NOTICE FOR 2014-2015 NUMBER 14V301000 AND NUMBER 14315. DATE @6/6/2014. THIS TRUCK IS A 2014 BUT NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. GM WILL NO REPAIR UNDER THIS RECALL NUMBER. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE. IT DOESN'T REMIND YOU OF SEAT BELTS OR DOORS STILL OPEN OR LOW GAS ISSUES AND KEYS BEING LEFT IN THE IGNITION OR VEHICLE TRANSMISSION BEING LEFT IN DRIVE POSITION WITH DRIVERS DOOR BEING OPEN, WHICH WOULD ALLOW A DRIVER TO GET OUT WITHOUT BEING WARNING THAT VEHICLE IS STILL IN DRIVE AND POSSIBLE RUN DRIVER OVER IF DRIVER LEAVE THERE VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND BEGINNING TO TURN, THE TRUCK ALMOST STALLS AND LOCKS UP ITS STEERING WHEEL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE PAST WEEK, ALL DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH IN PARKING LOTS OR DRIVEWAYS WHERE I PUT ON THE BREAK AND TURN AT THE SAME TIME. THE TRUCK HAS STAYED ON ALL TIMES EXCEPT FOR ONCE. I TURNED KEY OFF, THEN ON AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY WIFE'S PURSE STRAP HOOKED ON THE DOOR HANDLE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. WHILE SHE WENT TO RELEASE THE PURSE THE DOOR PUSHED OPEN. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR ALLOWED ALSO ALLOWED THE DOOR TO OPEN DURING OPERATION, BUT ONLY AFTER ACTUATING THE DOOR HANDLE TWICE. AFTER TRYING TO RE-LOCK THE DOORS WE NOTICED THE FRONT PASSNGER SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT LOCK AND DETERMINED ACTUATOR WAS FAULTY. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET FOR POSSIBLE RECALLS, FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND SEEMS COMMON.

THIS TRUCK IS ON ITS 3RD TRANSMISSION. BOTH FAILED THE EXACT SAME WAY. THE TORQUE CONVERTER OVERHEATED DUE TO THE V8 TO V4 MODE AND WARPED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION SWAP WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND SWAP WAS NOT. WHICH I HAD TO PAY 4800.00 TO REPLACE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND THEY HAD TO UPGRADE THE TRANSMISSIONS. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION THAT WENT IN DID NOT LAT BUT 50K MILES. RIDICULOUS. I DO NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK AGGRESSIVELY, NOR IS THERE ANY REASON THE TRANS SHOULD HAVE FAILED TWICE WITH THE EXACT SCENARIO. IT HAD INCREASED RPMS ON THE ENGINE BUT TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. WHEN SPEED WOULD SLOW DOWN IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS AND I WAS ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD. I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE SECOND TRANS SWAP. GM KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER PUT A RECALL OUT. I AM NOT A SATISFIED CUSTOMER.
