TRUCK WAS SERVICED FOR POWER STEERING ASSIST PROGRAMMING RECALL. OK FOR ABOUT TWO MONTHS. PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN: POWER STEERING LOST, LOW SPEED WHOBBLE & STEERING WHEEL SHAKE. ORIGINAL PROBLEM WAS TO REPLACE POWER STEERING MOTOR ASSIST KIT. I NEVER GOT THIS ORIGINAL RECALL. I STILL HAVE A SERIOUS STEERING PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES, SIZE: C265/65R18, AND DOT: 4AXPJH1R1215. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING FAILED AND THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD, ABNORMAL NOISE UNDER THE HOOD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED TWICE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. IN ADDITION, ALL FOUR TIRES CONTAINED BUBBLES. THE TIRES AND BATTERY HAD NOT BEEN REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. PRESTON HOOD CHEVROLET (212 HOLLYWOOD BLVD NW, FORT WALTON BEACH, FL 32548, (850) 610-7278) DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIRS WERE UNKNOWN. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000 THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE RACK AND PINION IS MAKING NOISE WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING ASSIST IF IT FAILS THE STEERING WILL NO LONGER WORK. I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THESE YEAR MODEL TRUCKS AND MY TRUCK ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES. THIS PART SEEMS TO HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE AND IS RELATIVELY EXPENSIVE ESPECIALLY IF IT FAILS MULTIPLE TIMES WHICH I HAVE READ HAPPENS.

BRAKES GO OUT NUMEROUS TIMES AND IT IS HARD TO STOP EVEN WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN ON THE FLOOR. THIS OCCURS ON THE ROADWAYS AND PARKING LOTS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC/ CONGESTED AREAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND SHIMMIED EXTENSIVELY. ALSO, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR FLASHED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS QUICKLY MANEUVERED OFF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE AND FOUND TWO UNKNOWN DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED TO CHECK WITH THE DEALER. KEYES CHEVROLET (5949 VAN NUYS BLVD, SHERMAN OAKS, CA 91401, (818) 933-3000) INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE TAKEN APART FOR FURTHER EXTENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V007000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE WELD ON THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDESER HAS BROKEN ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS CAUSING THE FREON TO LEAK OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS CAUSES EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE VEHICLE, AND ALSO CAUSES THE WINDOWS TO FOG UP.

WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS IT HARD TO STOP, THE BRAKE GET HARD AND THE VEHICLE IS HARDER TO STOP.

70,000 MILES AND TRUCK NEEDS A CONDENSER. IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. IT IS A 1000.00 REPAIR.

AT LOW SPEEDS (SUCH AS IN PARKING LOTS, AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ECT.) I LOSE BRAKE ASSIST, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO STOP.
