2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN BREAK DID NOT KICK IN FULLY UNTIL ABOUT 6 FEET FROM WHERE I INITIALLY ACTIVATED BREAK. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN PUBLIC STREET.

LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES DURING LOW SPEED REVERSE OR WHEN BACKING DOWN AN INCLINE, THE BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE DOWN UNTIL I EXERTED CONSIDERABLE FORCE WITH BOTH LEGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN REVERSING WITH A TRAILER AND WHEN REVERSING WITHOUT A TRAILER. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 17, 2019 WHEN BACKING A BOAT AND TRAILER DOWN AN INCLINE AT A BOAT LAUNCH RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT ENTERED THE WATER, BUT IT TOOK CONSIDERABLE FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I ALERTED THE DEALERSHIP, KOLAR CHEVROLET DULUTH, OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE TWICE IN 2018 AND AGAIN MOST RECENTLY ON MAY 23, 2019. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THEY WOULD NOT TAKE FURTHER ACTION UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET ADVISING OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH BRAKES, INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AND STOPPING DISTANCE. WENT TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED AT MY EXPENSE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM. CHEVROLET CORPORATE INFORMED ME THIS WAS CORRECT. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY AM I BEING CHARGED THIS WHEN CHEVROLET KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM , THAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

BRAKING ISSUE CAUSING REAR-END COLLISION AT LOW SPEED ON HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT.

BRAKES NOT EFFECTIVE WHEN STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED, STATED IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NOT A RECALL AND A VACUUM ASSIST ISSUE. I WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC COLLISION AT LOW SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. ABS DID NOT ENGAGE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.

LOSS OF BRAKING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PRESS IN SLOW MOVING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE ABS SEEMS TO KICK IN BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL FORWARD. SPEED WOULD BE AROUND 10 MPH. BRAKING IS OK AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT LOSING ABLILITY TO BRAKE AT LOW SPEED. NEAR MISS ON REAR ENDING SEVERAL VEHICLES.

PURCHASED 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 11/2017. 04/2017, NO COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE AC. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THINKING ONLY NEED A RECHARGE SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE CONDENSER. THIS COST ME OUT OF POCKET NEARLY $1200!! WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION?

EXPERIENCING HESITATION/'CHUGGLE'/CONVERTOR SLIP IN 2ND-6TH GEAR IN V8 MODE WHEN ROLLING INTO THE THROTTLE AND PUTTING THE ENGINE UNDER LOAD ON A HIGHWAY. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN IN 4TH 5TH OR 6TH GEAR,1500-1850 RPM, LOADING THE ENGINE TO ACCELERATE 55-60MPH, 60-70MPH. OR WHEN ACCELERATING ON AN INCLINE AT SAME SPEEDS WITHOUT DOWNSHIFTING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER AND DISCOVERED THAT THE SUN ROOF EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO PREMIER CHEVROLET (401 US-59 LOOP, LIVINGSTON, TX 77351), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

THE TRUCK HAS INADEQUATE PERIPHERAL ILLUMINATION WHILE DRIVING ON DARK WINDING ROADS. .WHEN MAKING TURNS YOU CANNOT SEE THE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WHEN GOING STRAIGHT ITS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SHOULDER DEPTH OF THE ROAD. .THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS MODEL. THE 2019 MODELS HAVE MUCH BETTER HEADLIGHT DESIGNS THAT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.. THE 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT THAT I HAVE DOES NOT. THE DEALER SERVICE WRITER AND I WALKED AROUND THEIR LOT AND COMPARED THE NEW MODELS HEADLIGHTS TO MINE. HE CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY NEW LIGHTING REPLACEMENTS OR REPAIRS FOR THIS MODEL. MY TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S DOWN RIGHT SCARY TO DRIVE ON DARK WINDING ROADS AT NIGHT.
