2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WHILE PARKING IN MY WORK LOT AT LOW SPEED, MY PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM REPEATED THE SAME DAY IN MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME. WHILE RESEARCHING ONLINE I LEARNED ABOUT THE FAILURES OF BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. PURCHASED AND CHANGED MINE MYSELF.

I BOUGHT MY PICKUP BRAND NEW FROM A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALER AND HAVE HAD AN ISSUE SINCE I TEST DROVE IT. WHEN SHIFTING UNDER LOW THROTTLE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND BACK DOWN FROM 2ND TO 1ST, THERE IS A TERRIBLE CLUNK. SOMETIMES ITS BARELY NOTICEABLE, AND OTHER TIMES IF FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN REAR ENDED. THERE IS AN EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE HESITATION WHEN STARTING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY PUT MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER. I'VE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX.

WHEN GOING SLOW AND THE TRUCK SHIFTS FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL A STRONG KNOCK AND IT PULLS THE TRUCK THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN GOING DOWN IN GEARS FROM 2ND TO 1ST AT SLOW PACE AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT MORE OFTEN THEN NOT IF YOUR DRIVING SLOW LIKE IN A PARKING LOT IT HAPPENS 6/10 TIMES TOOK IT TO THE DEALER STATED NO RECALL BUT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WERE INSTRUCTED NOT TO DO ANYTHING TO THE TRUCK VERIFIED GOOGLE AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE

ONE MORNING WHEN I GOT TO WORK I WAS BACKING IN MY PARKING SPACE, WHEN MY BRAKES GOT HARD TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT PRESS THEM. IT WAS TO THE POINT THAT MY TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP UNLESS I USED BOTH FEET WITH HEAVY PRESSURE. IF I WAS DRIVING I WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED THAT TRUCK. I WAS JUST OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY WITH 39000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE MY VACUUM PUMP.

THE ENGINE IS UNABLE TO RECEIVE CONSISTENT FUEL WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE. IT REQUIRES PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES AND RESTARTS TO GET THE ENGINE GOING. THEN, WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LOSES FUEL AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF AND ESSENTIALLY DIE. THIS HAS PUT ME IN 2 NEAR WRECK INCIDENTS ALREADY DESPITE THE GM DEALERSHIPS SAYING THERE IS NO ISSUE.

MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND WHILE I WAS AT A DECLINE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT EXTREMELY HARD AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS DOWN ON IT.

I PULLED INTO CROWDED PARKING LOT IN THE RAIN & COULDN'T STOP MY TRUCK. I USED BOTH FEET TO PRESS BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD & GOT TRUCK STOPPED. BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS AND HAD TO PUMP BRAKE ABOUT 3 TIMES TO GET STOPPED. TRUCK WAS FINE FOR NEXT 3 DAYS & THEN IT HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. I WAS PULLING A TRAILER & THE ONLY WAY I GOT TRUCK STOPPED WAS TO USE MANUALLY PRESS TRAILER BRAKE MECHANISM INSIDE TRUCK. IT REALLY SCAREDME AS I HAD MY KIDS IN TRUCK WITH ME AND VALUABLE LIVESTOCK IN TRAILER. AT DEALERSHIP NOW GETTING IT CHECKED OUT. I'M OVER 36,000 WARRANTY BUT UNDER 60,000.

A ROUGH CLUNK NOISE OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO STOP, AND CAR ACTUALLY REVS TO ACCELERATE SPEED WHEN APPLYING BREAKING AND TRYING TO STOP. (IN . MOTION) THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO SMOOTHLY ENTER INTO SUBSEQUENT GEARS. A JERK OCCURS IN BETWEEN SHIFTING OF GEARS. (MOVING) I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY STOPPED ON A FLAT STREET, AND RELAX MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, AND THE CAR WANTS TO LEAP JUMP FORWARD. THIS IS NOT SAFE. (STOPPED) THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE FOUND IN ONLINE FORUMS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO. JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER.
