2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THIS TRUCK HAS THE 6.2 AND 8 SPD TRANS. I START IT UP IN THE GARAGE AND LET IT IDLE DOWN, BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE INTO THE STREET, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND FEEL IT ENGAGE, PUSH ON THE GAS AND IT DOESN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS OR NOW IT WILL MOVE BUT THEN WHEN IT TRIES TO DO THE 1-2 SHIFT IT WON'T SHIFT AND THE TRUCK STOPS MOVING FORWARD FOR A FEW SECONDS UNTIL IT FINALLY DOES SHIFT. I HAD IT IN TO THE DEALER AT 13K MILES AND THEY DETERMINED THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE STATOR SUPPORT IN THE TRANS ALLOWING THE CONVERTER TO DRAIN SO THEY DID A PARTIAL TRANS REBUILD AND UPDATED THE PARTS. THE ORIGINAL PROBLEM IS SHOWING UP AGAIN ALONG WITH THE 1-2 SHIFT PROBLEM. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AT ABOUT 18K MILES AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY COULD REPRODUCE IT AND THE ISSUES IS CAUSED BY THE "CLUTCH" NOT BEING FILLED WITH FLUID AT THE TIME THE SHIFT IS TRYING TO HAPPEN. ONCE THE CLUTCH IS FULL...IT SHIFTS. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS A DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH GM AND THERE IS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT TELLING DEALERS THIS IS NORMAL AND TO NOT DO ANY REPAIRS TRYING TO FIX SO THEY DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND PUT THE TRANS BACK INTO LEARN MODE SAID THEY WERE SORRY AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. THIS CONDITION IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU EXPECT THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND IT DOES NOT. THIS TRANSMISSION IS INSTALLED IN CHEVY, GMC, AND CADILLAC TRUCKS AND SUVS AND THERE MANY COMPLAINTS ON ALL OF THE POPULAR MESSAGE BOARDS ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. SOME PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT ALMOST BEING HIT IN THE REAR BECAUSE THERE VEHICLE WON'T MOVE. THERE ARE MANY OTHER DOCUMENTED ISSUES WITH THE 8 SPD TRANS GM HAS BEEN USING IN THEIR TRUCKS AS WELL AND GM WILL NOT ADDRESS ANY OF THEM SAYING THAT THEY ARE ALL NORMAL. I HAVE TALKED TO PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE PERSONALLY THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AS WELL AND NOT GETTING ANYWHERE.

THE PAINT IS SO CHEAP ON THIS TRUCK EVERY TIME I LOOK IT IT HAS A NEW CHIP AND THE ROOF IS STARTING TO CRACK AND LOOK HORRIBLE TOOK IT TO CHEVY THEY SAY IT'S BIRDS IT'S GARAGE KEPT HAS 22000 MILES ON IT I NEVER REALLY DRIVE IT'S STARTING TO LOOK AS BAD AS MY 03 1500HD AND IT'S A WORK TRUCK

ABOUT 41000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. I HAD BRAKING PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AT LOW SPEED AT PARKING LOT. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BECAUSE I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP DUE TO THE BRAKING ISSUE. I FELT LOOSING PRESSURE WHILE BRAKING. I HAD THIS ISSUE 3 TIMES. ON JULY 16, I NOTICED THE ISSUE THEN IT DID NOT HAPPENED AGAIN. BUT IT CAME BACK AGAIN ON AUGUST 31 AND SEPTEMBER 1. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED VACUUM PUMP. I FOUND THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD SAME ISSUE BUT NO RECALL. I HAD TO SPENT ABOUT $500 FOR NEW VACUUM PUMP.

TRUCK VIBRATING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BETWEEN 65 TO 85 MPH THE TUCKS HAS A CONSTANT VIBRATION.

THE BRAKE ASSIST WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING AND THE COULD NOT BRAKE PROPERLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS REALLY HARD TO BRAKE. A;MOST HAD A WRECK CAUSE I COULD BRAKE PROPERLY ON TIME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ACTIVATED, A BELT FRACTURED AND CAUSED HEAT TO ENTER THE VEHICLE. THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PREMATURELY FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE TO DETERMINE IF A DEALER WOULD BE ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

ONE MORNING WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO, I NOTICED A MESSAGE ON THE DASH BOARD SCREEN WHICH READ "RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT SIGNAL FAILURE. I WENT TO THE NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED REPLACEMENT BULBS AND NOTICED THAT THE BULBS WEREN'T THE PROBLEM. I ALSO CHECKED THE FUSES AND DID NOT FIND ANY BLOWN FUSES WHICH AGAIN WASN'T THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE RIGHT REAR TAIL LIGHT WILL TURN ON IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON BUT WILL NOT BLINK WHEN THE SIGNAL LIGHT IS ON OR IF THE BRAKES ARE ENGAGED. LATER THAT NIGHT I REALIZED THAT NONE OF THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WORKED EITHER; WEATHER THE LIGHT IS IN THE DOOR POSITION OR THE ON POSITION. I'M NOT REALLY SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT WITH THIS TRUCK BEING SO NEW WITH LESS THAN 45000 MILES, THESE PROBLEMS SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING.

ORIGINAL COMPLAINT # 11011865, SO I BROUGHT MY 2015 SILVERADO BACK TO MICHAELS CHEVROLET IN FRESNO AFTER THEY REPLACED MY RACK AND PINION. THE SECOND RACK HAD SAME ISSUE AFTER BEING ON TRUCK FOR THREE WEEKS. THIS TIME DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RACK. I NOTICED GM RECALLED OVER 800,000 2014 SILVERADO RECENTLY. I HAVE AN EARLY MODEL 2015 SILVERADO WHICH I LEARNED HAS THE SAME RACK AND PINION AS THE 2014'S. I ASKED THE DEALER IF THE RECALL COULD BE EFFECTING MY TRUCK AS WELL. I WAS TOLD THEY WERE UNSURE AND IT WAS POSSIBLE, HOWEVER THEY STILL REFUSED TO REPLACE THE RACK UNDER WARRANTY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS AS A RESULT OF MY TRUCK HAVING A LEVELING KIT. SO NOW I CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO IT BEING UNSAFE. LAST THING I WANT IS TO BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LOSE ALL STEERING. WHAT CAN I DO AND IS THERE ANY LAWS THAT PROTECT ME FROM GM WARRANTY PROBLEMS???

POWER STEERING WENT OUT TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY AND THEY COULDN'T IDENTIFY A PROBLEM AND I WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS WORKING FINE WHEN THEY RECEIVED IT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AFTER THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,600.
