2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

POWER STEERING WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. APPROX 50,000 MILES DELEARSHIP STATES NO CURRENT RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE HOWEVER THERE WAS A LARGE RECALL FOR SAME ISSUE ON 2014 SILVERADO

MY PAINT IS FLAKING AWAY. SEEMS LIKE EVERY TIME I WASH IT THE CHIPS MULTIPLY. CHIPS COVER THE ENTIRE NODY

WHEN BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED THE BRAKING SYSTEM HAS MALFUNCTION. BRAKE PETAL HAS LITTLE MOVEMENT, FEELS HARD AND VEHICLE DOES NOT RESPOND. TAKES A GREAT AMOUNT OF PRESSURE TO STOP VEHICLE THAN VEHICLE STILL MOVES.

BOUGHT MY VEHICLE 2 MONTHS AGO AND AIRBAG LIGHT AND AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. WENT TO GET CHECKED OUT AND THE PASSENGER RETRACTABLE SENSOR IS BAD AND NEEDS FIXED. THIS SHOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE WITH MY NEWER TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE STEERING WHEEL JERKED AND THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, BUT THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AND THE POWER STEERING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (STAR CHEVROLET, 1628 S AZALEA DR, WIGGINS, MS 39577, (678) 369-6037) FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIRS. THE DEALER ALSO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS IN REGARDS TO THE FAILURE; THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR FEES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,038.

SEVERAL TIMES COMMUTING IN TO WORK, WIFE SAID BRAKES FELT FUNNY, HARD TO STOP. I WOULD DRIVE AND HAVE NO PROBLEMS, THEN IT FINALLY HAPPENED TO ME IN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. TRIED TO STOP BUT TRUCK KEPT ROLLING, LOST BRAKING POWER AND THE TRUCK SLID FORWARD. MANAGED TO STOP BUT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER AND IT HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED. BRAKE PEDAL GOES REAL STIFF WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND IT IS HARD FOR THE TRUCK TO STOP. GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CAR IN FRONT SLOWS DOWN TO TURN. I APPLIED BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WAS HARD TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STIFF AS I WAS PUSHING DOWN HARD. THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT BARELY. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEFORE IT TURNED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP AND PIPE. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND TOLD THEM THAT I AM HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A DEFECT OR REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT ONLY HAS 61,156 MILES ON IT AS OF 9 JULY 2018. THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED WAS IN MAY 2018. AT THAT TIME I HAD ABOUT 59,000+ MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. A COUPLE OF CERTIFIED MECHANICS STATED THAT THIS PART SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN IT HAS. I WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. SERVICE BULLETIN #PIT5361.

WHILE MOVING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP.

ALL SOUND STOPPED ON MY TRUCK. RADIO, TURN SIGNAL FEEDBACK, ETC. IT WAS WORKING AT END OF DAY BUT DID NOT WORK THE FOLLOWING MORNING. I SEARCHED AND FOUND RECALL #14315 BUT YOUR WEB SITE SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. IT HAS EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED BY THAT RECALL. I GOOGLED SYMPTOM AND FOUND WHERE SOMEONE HAD DISCONNECTED BATTERY FOR AWHILE AND THAT FIXED IT. DID FOR ME TOO BUT FEEL THE FIX IN RECALL 14315 SHOULD BE APPLIED TO MY TRUCK AS WELL.

LOSS OF POWER STEERING MOSTLY AT LOW SPEED. TRUCK LOSES POWER OR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY. ALSO SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE HAD NO POWER UPON START THEN AFTER SITTING FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL BE OK. LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING WHEN I SWITCHED TO BRIGHT LIGHTS. ALSO DRIVERS INFO CENTER GOES BLACK

FAULTY TAILGATE BUSHING (GM PART NO. 84331136/84131760), PLASTIC, ENGINEERING DEFECT. THE PART CRACKS, BREAKS, DISINTEGRATES, SIMPLY BY OPENING OR CLOSING THE TRUCK TAILGATE OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE BUSING WAS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE TAILGATE BY REDUCING THE WEIGHT OR MUSCLE NEEDED TO REST THE TAILGATE WITHOUT SLAMMING. WHEN THE BUSING CRACKS OR BREAKS THEN THE TAILGATE SLAMS DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE OWNER BECOMES ACCUSTOMED TO THE TAILGATE LOWERING WITH EASE, AND UPON THE FIRST TIME OPENING TAILGATE AFTER THE BUSHING HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, IT SLAMS DOWN, RISKING INJURY TO YOUR ARMS, POSSIBLY YOUR BACK OR ANYONE LIKE CHILDREN, A CHILD'S HEAD UNDERNEATH OR BELOW THE OWNERS WAIST. SECONDLY, GM IS "PRICE GAUGING" THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE PART COST LESS THAN $10 DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, AND THE CHEAPLY MANUFACTURED PART, WHICH IS MOST LIKELY SPUN ON A 3-D PRINTER BY A CANADIAN COMPANY COSTS $44 NOW. THEY DO NOT OFFER A OEM PART AND HAVE NOT CHANGED THE PLASTIC PART TO ADAPT TO ALL OF THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. THIS IS THE FOURTH BUSHING I HAVE TO REPLACE. ONLINE RESEARCH OF OTHER TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE INDICATE THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PUBLIC PROBLEM. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP ME REPLACE THE PART AT NO COST. PLEASE HELP THE CONSUMER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
