2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE REAR PASSENGER TAIL LIGHTS HAS CORRODED. POINT OF CORROSION IS THE "CUP OR SOCKET" THAT THE TAIL LIGHT BULB IS INSERTED INTO. CORROSION FAILURE OCCURRED AT 28 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP OF THE NEW VEHICLE. SOCKET DID NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF CORROSION PREVENTING DIELECTRIC GREASE PRESENT AS I HAVE TYPICALLY SEEN IN TAIL LIGHT CONNECTIONS.UNFORTUNATELY, SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS AT 40,000 MILES IT WAS CONSIDERED OUT OF WARRANTY AND ALL EXPENSE FOR REPAIR OF DEFECTIVE MANUFACTURING. DEALERSHIP ALSO RECOMMENDED THE REPLACEMENT OF A SOCKET WITH FIELD SOLDIERING RATHER THAN REPLACEMENT OF THE ENTIRE WIRE HARNESS WHICH SEEMS LIKE A SOLUTION TO CREATE MORE CORROSION ISSUES. CORROSION CAUSED THE LOSS OF TAIL LIGHTS ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO LACK OF WARNING/INDICATION FROM VEHICLES BEHIND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOSE VACUUM PRESSURE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXCESSIVE FORCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES ENGAGED ONCE THE VEHICLE REACHED 1,000 RPMS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PERFORMANCE CHEVROLET (4811 MADISON AVE, SACRAMENTO, CA 95841) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

NOTICED FAILURE OF VEHICLE TO STOP. LACK OF POWER ASSIST BRAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. BRAKE PEDAL IS ROCK HARD WITH LITTLE TO ZERO TRAVEL (1/4' AT MOST). VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE (REGARDLESS OF PRESSURE APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL) FOR SEVERAL FEET. WHILE THIS HAS OCCURRED IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE GEARS; THE ISSUE IS CONSISTENTLY OBSERVED IN REVERSE.

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. HEARD A LOUD, POWERFUL EXPLOSION. THE SHATTERED GLASS WAS KEPT IN THE RETRACTABLE SUNROOF COVER. THANK GOD THE COVER WAS CLOSED. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS WE WENT UNDER NO VEHICLE IN FRONT NOR BACK. IT WAS A CLOUDY COOL DAY TEMP. 50 DEGREES.

SUNROOF SHATTERED WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY. HEARD A LOUD, POWERFUL EXPLOSION. THE SHATTERED GLASS WAS KEPT IN THE RETRACTABLE SUNROOF COVER. THANK GOD IT WAS CLOSED. THERE WAS NO OVERPASS THAT WE WENT UNDER NO VEHICLE IN FRONT NOR BEHIND US. IT WAS A CLOUDY COOL DAY TEMP. AROUND 50 DEGREES.

RECEIVED AN ALERT AROUND 63,500 MILES "ALERT: SERVICE BREAK ASSIST." DEALERSHIP SERVICE ADVISOR NOTIFIED ME THAT PROBLEM WAS "BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO VACUUM BOSTER. BOTH NEED TO BE REPLACED." COST $1172.61. BREAK BASICALLY WOULDN'T WORK PROPERLY WHEN PRESSED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN SO EARLY. I'VE ONLY HAD TRUCK FOR TWO YEARS. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO FIX THIS. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN INJURY TO MYSELF OR MY FAMILY.

THE TRUCK HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION ABOUT 45 MPH AND INCREASES WITH FREQUENCY AS SPEED IS INCREASED AS WELL. PASSENGER SEAT SHAKES AND CAN BE FELT THROUGH ENTIRE VEHICLE. TIRES HAVE BEEN REPLACE MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO CORRECTION.

POWER BRAKES FAIL AT LOW SPEED REQUIRING MORE PRESSURE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES I WHILE PARKING OR IDLE SPEEDS.

WHEN PUMPING MY BRAKES FOR TRAFFIC, BACKING OUT OF DRIVEWAY OR DRIVING IN GENERAL ETC., BRAKES WILL FAIL AND MY TRUCK KEEPS ROLLING. NOT SAFE WHAT SO EVER AS I AM STOMPING ON THE BRAKES AS HARD AS I CAN AND THE TRUCK WILL NOT STOP. PLEASE FIX THIS ISSUE BY CONTACTING CHEVROLET FOR A RECALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MULTIPLE FRIENDS AND FAMILY WITH THIS TRUCK MODEL AND YEAR. IT IS A PROBLEM AND GM NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT IT BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS KILLED FOR BRAKE FAILURE. TRUCK IS NOT EVEN PAST 40,000 MILES!!!

I HAVE HAD A 14 NOW A 2015 SILVERADO THAT BOTH HAVE HAD A A/C CONDENSER GO OUT BY 45K MILES THIS IS COMPLETELY REDICULOUSE THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY CONCERN , AND HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED AS WELL AS I HAVE SPENT 2K ON THESE REPAIRS IN 2 YEARS I HAVE A CONDITION THAT I CANNOT TAKE EXTREME HEAT SO I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SPEND THE MONEY GM WAS CONTACTED THEY BASICALLY SAID I WILL GET 12 MONTH WARRANTY ON NEW REPAIR.
