2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 WHEN MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT NOTICED THAT'S SOMETHING SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING, SHE TOLD ME AND WITHIN 10 SECONDS I COULD SMELL THE SAME THING AND IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING. I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND HER HEADREST SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND GOT HER OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND COULD SEE IT WAS COMING FROM EITHER THE SLIDE WINDOW OR THE DEFROSTER SO I JUMPED IN THE FRONT SEAT AND SEEN THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON AND SHUT THAT OFF AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ME SHUTTING THAT OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT OFF IN MY BACK SEAT AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT TOGETHER WAS THE FACTORY WINDOW TINT. THERE IS ALL KIND OF GLASS SHARDS IN THE BACKSEAT FROM WHEN IT SHATTERED. I HAD TO HAVE MY WIFE PICK UP MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE IS TOO YOUNG TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. SO I HAVE TO PUT TAPE OVER THE WINDOW TO HOLD IT TOGETHER UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTS ME BACK.

MY TRUCK BRAKES NORMALLY EXCEPT WHEN I STOPPED, THEN AT LOW SPEED THE TRUCK FAILS TO STOP. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS (HITTING WALLS, POLES, A BUS) AND ITS EVEN WORSE GOING DOWNHILL. IT TAKES BOTH FEET AND ALL MY WEIGHT TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HAPPENS WHEN GOING FORWARD AND REVERSE. I'VE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET AND I'VE TALKED WITH GM TECHS AND IT'S A BAD PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP. PLEASE HELP!!!!

HELLO JUST WANTED SHARE THIS ABOUT MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MY STARTED MAKING A STRANGE KNOCK SOUND SQEALING NOISE ON ENGINE SO TOOK IT TO CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE IT CKECKED OUT THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD THAT IT HAD EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE OFF IN ENGINE BLOCK IT WILL COST $4000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR I FEEL THAT IS A GM MANUFACTURE ISSUE EVEN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM I FEEL THAT SHOULDN'T PAY SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE WHY THESE BOLTS BROKE OFF

TAKADA RECALL. WHILE TRAVELING APPROX 70 MPH APPLING BRAKES OR TURN SIGNAL INFORMATION SCREEN MOMENTARILY FLASHES BLANK, ENINE HESITATES AND SEAT BELT WARNING SOUNDS

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO PARK, I LOST BRAKING AND COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK TO STOP THE MOMENTUM. THIS HAPPENED GOING IN REVERSE. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER I WAS CHARGED $470.96 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AT N THE VACUUM PUMP WHICH PROVIDES POWER FOR BRAKING AND STEERING.

WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS MOSTLY BACKING MY VEHICLE LOSES BRAKING. THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL.

VACUUM PUMP ON 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON JULY 8, 2018. APPLIED BRAKES AND THEY WERE HARD AND WOULD NOT DEPRESS. THEY EVENTUALLY STARTED TO WORK SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP. THIS OCCURRED OFF AND ON FOR OVER TWO WEEKS, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS, UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM FIXED ON JULY 24, 2018. SEE REPAIR ORDER. I WANTED TO FILE THIS BECAUSE I SAW THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMPS AND MINE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT A CHEVROLET DEALER.

MY TRUCK WOULD BRAKE NORMALLY EXCEPT WHEN I STOPPED, THEN AT LOW SPEED THE TRUCK WOULD FAIL TO STOP. I ALMOST GOT INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS (HITTING WALLS, POLES, A BUS) AND WAS EVEN WORSE GOING DOWNHILL. IT TOOK BOTH FEET AND ALL MY WEIGHT TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. MY DEALER SAID THE VACUUM PUMP WAS AT 11PSI WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 27. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

I NOTICED A WATER LEAK IN THE HEAD LINER BY THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF WATER LEAKS COMING THROUGH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW. WE TRIED FIXING IT USING A NEW GASKET, SILICONE, AND EVEN A NEW LIGHT WITH NEW SEALS AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE.

VACUUM PUMP. MY VACUUM PUMP WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY. EVERY FEW PRESSES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT TOOK MUCH LONGER TO STOP. IT WAS SCARY AND I AM VERY THANKFUL I DIDN'T GET IN A WRECK. I GOT IT FIXED AT MY CHEVROLET DEALER. THE COST FOR REPAIR WAS $600. WORST PART IS MY VEHICLE, A 2015, ONY HAD 27,000 MILES ON IT. STILL FEELS NEW AND THE BRAKES FAILED.
