2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 55MPH; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; SMELLED LIKE PLASTIC BURNING AT THE SAME TIME; I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON EXIT RAMP AS THICK BLACK SMOKE FILLED THE INSIDE. GOOD SAMARITANS HELPED ME GET OUT AS FLAMES WERE IGNITED UNDER THE HOOD. SEVERAL LIKE MINI EXPLOSIONS ACCOMPANIED THE FLAMES.

PAINT CHIPPING OUT OFF NOWHERE.. MINI BLEMISHES WHERE PAINT IS JUST COMING OFF IN SPOTS NO DEALER ASSISTANCE

FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE STABILITRACK SERVICE INDICATOR WILL ACTIVATE IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS, IE LOW SPEED ON A ROAD, HIGH SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE, PARKED IN A PARKING, ETC. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR LOCATE A CODE THAT IS OCCURRING WHEN THIS WARNING INDICATOR ACTIVATES; THIS OCCURRED LAST WEEK AND AS RECENTLY AS THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK

FRONT BUMPER SENSORS NOT WORKING AS DESIGNED, TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS (CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY), CLOCK TIME CHANGING ON IT'S ON BY 15 MIN (STATIONARY), SPEED DISPLAY NOT FUNCTIONING (ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN (STATIONARY, IN MOTION), GPS WILL NOT COMPLETE TRIP DIRECTIONS (HIGHWAY), BLUE TOOTH FUNCTION LOSSES CALLS OR HAS STATIC INTERFERENCE (CITY STREETS, STATIONARY AND HIGHWAY)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL TO BECOME DETACHED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BENNETT CHEVROLET IN EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V256000 (SUSPENSION) A FEW DAYS AFTER THE CRASH. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,200.

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. WHEN RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE 10 MINUTES AFTER PARKING IT, THE VEHICLE STARTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE DESPITE NO REMOTE START OR ONSTAR APP BEING ACTIVATED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO CRANK AND START, EVEN AFTER I UNLOCKED THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY FOB, INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE KEY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO CRANK AND START AND I SMELLED A STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. I THEN SAW BLUE/GREYISH SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE HOOD MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. I THEN GATHERED MY BELONGINGS FROM THE TRUCK AND WATCHED FROM A SAFE DISTANCE. AFTER THE SMOKE, THE TRUCK NO LONGER ATTEMPTED TO CRANK OR START ITSELF AND THE SMOKE WAS GONE WITHIN 5 MINUTES, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SMALL INSTANCES OF SMOKE OVER THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. THE TRUCK WAS PUT ON A FLATBED TOW TRUCK FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS INDICATED THAT THE "STARTER HAD CONSUMED ITSELF" AND WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE I SAW, BUT NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. IT WAS QUITE SCARY TO HAVE A TRUCK ATTEMPT TO START ITSELF WITH A SMALL ELECTRICAL SHORT/FIRE AS A RESULT WITHOUT A KEY BEING NEEDED.

TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTING. FEEL LIKE THE TRUCK IS BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA DO IT BUT WHEN IT DOES, ITS SCARY. THE OTHER DAY WHILE TRYING TO BACK UP INTO MY DRIVE WAY, THE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE PEDAL. THEN ON IT'S OWN, THE TRUCK BURNED RUBBER BACKWARDS WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. I ALMOST DROVE INTO MY GARAGE! THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE! THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN DURING YOU DRIVE.

AT NIGHT WHEN SHIFT CAR INTO REVERSE THE CAMERA DISPLAY IN THE DASH IS SO BRIGHT IT BLINDS THE DRIVER, AND THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT

HEADLIGHTS ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL. I HAVE ADJUSTED THEM AND THEN OTHER DRIVERS BRIGHT LIGHT ME. I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO BE ABLE TO SEE BETTER AT NIGHT BUT NOTHING HAS WORKED FOR ME.
