TRUCK STALLS WHEN TURNING SHARPLY AT LOW SPEED (LIKE INTO A DRIVEWAY). SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START AFTERWARD AND THE KEY FOB WON'T WORK. TOTAL LOSS OF ELECTRICAL POWER. MULTIPLE WARNINGS ABOUT ANTI THEFT, STABILI-TRAC, ETC.

THIS IS THE 3RD AC CONDENSER THAT HAS FAILED ON THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE. GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IS IS A FACTORY DEFECTIVE PART AND CONTINUES TO CHARGE CUSTOMERS $1,000'S OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS FROM CUSTOMERS. WHO IS GOING TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITY TRACTION CONTROL WARNING INDICATOR FLASHED INTERMITTENTLY AND VARIOUS OTHER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM FLICKERED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. IN ADDITION, THE ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SEIZED EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE DEALER (ED BOZARTH CHEVROLET, 5501 DREXEL RD, LAS VEGAS, NV 89130, (702) 967-5500) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS KEPT AT THE DEALER FOR WEEKS. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A GROUND POINT G218 FAILURE WITH A HIGH NEGATIVE RESISTANCE CONCERNING THE BATTERY CABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN DRIVING (SITTING IN DRIVERS SEAT), WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CORNER YOU CAN FEEL THE SEAT MOVING. IT SEEMS TIGHT WHEN YOU GET OUT AND TRY MOVING IT BUT WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS YOU CAN FEEL THE SEAT MOVE SLIDING SIDE TO SIDE. TALKED WITH DEALERSHIP ON PROBLEM, THEY CLAIM IT NEEDS A SHIM KIT. BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I DEEM TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM. AT SOME POINT THE SEAT MAY COME COMPLETELY FREE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND POWERED OFF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE NORMALLY; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET NORTH (LOCATED AT 7320 N BROADWAY, DENVER, CO 80221, (720) 836-7087) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT A FAILURE CODE COULD NOT BE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, USUALLY ALWAYS USING TURN SIGNAL, MY TRUCK WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO WARNING. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND ALL ELECTRICAL IS LOST. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO RESTART MY TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AFTER I GET TRUCK STARTED THERE ARE NUMEROUS ERROR CODES IN THE DISPLAY: OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, STABILATRAK, STEERING WHEEL ASSIST, STABILATRAK REDUCE SPEED B/C OF STEERING ASSIST, 2 KEYS PROGRAMMED. ALSO WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED (70-80 MPH) ON HIGHWAY THE STABILATRAK ERROR WOULD APPEAR WHEN I PUT TURN SIGNAL ON TO CHANGE LANES BUT TRUCK HAS NOT YET SHUT DOWN UNDER THAT CONDITION. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 2 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERS FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN ON ME WAS 9-19-2018 AND THE TRUCK DID NOT START RIGHT AWAY AND MY 4-WAY FLASHERS DID NOT WORK WHILE I WAS STRANDED IN THE INTERSECTION.

I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 10 MONTHS. I HAVE FREQUENTLY HEARD CRACKING/POPPING NOISES WHILE DRIVING, BUT NO OTHER TRAFFIC NEAR, AND NO DAMAGE TO WINDSHIELD. THIS MORNING, I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND NOTICED A VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. AS I HAVEN'T EVER HIT A ROCK IN THIS TRUCK, I WAS VERY CURIOUS. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, THERE IS ZERO EVIDENCE OF ANY EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SUCH A LARGE AND SPONTANEOUS CRACK TO APPEAR WHILE I WAS IN BED SLEEPING LAST NIGHT. TO BE FAIR, I HAVEN'T REPORTED IT TO A DEALER YET SINCE I JUST FOUND THE CRACK THIS MORNING, BUT THAT WILL BE MY NEXT STEP, ALTHOUGH I'M HIGHLY PESSIMISTIC THAT THEY WILL BE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT (WHAT APPEARS IN MY OPINION TO BE) A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. MY VERY FIRST SEARCH ON THE INTERNET LED ME TO MANY MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEMS (MYSTERIOUS CRACK/POP SOUNDS WHEN NO OTHER TRAFFIC IS AROUND, OR DRIVING SLOWLY, AND SUDDEN/SPONTANEOUS CRACKS WITH NO ASSOCIATED DAMAGE TO THE GLASS. TO BE CLEAR, THIS CRACK APPEARD OVER NIGHT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING!
