2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

POWER BRAKES STOP WORKING AT LOW SPEEDS. IT SEEMS THE VACUUM PUMP IS FAILING. SOMETIMES AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES HARD AND REQUIRES ALOT OF EXTRA EFFORT TO STOP. I ALMOST RAN INTO THE REAR OF A CAR IN A DRIVE-THRU.

WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL I HEAR A CLUNKING/GRINDING NOISE. ON 7/07/2017 I BROUGHT IT IN TO MICHAELS CHEVROLET LOCATED IN FRESNO, CA REGARDING THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE ISSUE WAS A RESULT OF A BAD RACK AND PINION. THEY REPLACED THE RACK UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THREE WEEKS LATER I'M HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM SO OBVIOUSLY THIS NEW ONE IS BAD AS WELL. THE CLUNKING/GRINDING NOISE IS MORE PRONOUNCED WHEN STATIONARY AND TURNING WHEEL RIGHT AND LEFT AND WHILE BACKING. YOU DON'T REALLY HEAR IT MUCH WHILE DRIVING.

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. OVER THE COURSE OF 3 DAYS I NOTICED THE AIR CONDITIONER GO FROM BLOWING COLD AIR TO BLOWING WARMER AIR UNTIL IT NO LONGER WAS COLD. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE SYSTEM AND SAID THE AC CONDENSER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1,300 TO FIX. THE PART IS ON BACKORDER FOR AT LEAST 3 WEEKS. THE CURRENT "FEEL LIKE" TEMPERATURE IN FLORIDA IS 106 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT OUTSIDE. THAT WOULD BE A LONG TIME TO GO WITHOUT A/C WITHOUT A LOANER FROM THE DEALER, WHICH THE DEALER DID OFFER.

AT APPROXIMATELY 45K MILES, TRUCK BEGAN TO SHAKE AT 70 MPH. ISSUE ONLY OCCURS ON HIGHWAYS/INTERSTATES WHERE 70MPH CAN BE DRIVEN SAFELY. NOW HAS 52K MILES. DEALER HAD ACCESSORIZED TRUCK WITH OVERSIZE WHEELS/TIRES & LIFT KIT. I BOUGHT IT THIS WAY. WAS SMOOTH UNTIL ABOUT 45K MILES. MY TIRES ARE STILL GOOD, BUT I WILL REPLACE BEFORE 60K MILES INTERNET SEARCHING REVEALED MUCH INFORMATION REGARDING "CHEVY SHAKE" ISSUE WITH GM FULL SIZE TRUCKS AND SUV'S. I BELIEVE MINE IS AFFECTED BY THE 'CHEVY SHAKE' MYSTERY PROBLEM. WILL BE TAKING TO DEALER FOR REGULAR SERVICE 7/21/17 AND ADVISING THEM OF THIS ISSUE. THEY WILL LIKELY BLAME IT ON AFTERMARKET EQUIPMENT/SUSPENSION/WHEELS/TIRES, EVEN THOUGH THE DEALERSHIP ACCESSORIZED THE TRUCK WHEN NEW THROUGH A SPECIALTY SHOP. I BOUGHT WARRANTIES THAT SUPPOSEDLY COVER ALL OF THE TRUCK, EVEN THE STUFF DEALER HAD THE SPECIALTY SHOP PUT ON IT.

I'M HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CHEVY SILVERADO DYING OUT WHILE DRIVING WHEN I'M MAKING TURNS THAT WILL CAUSE THE TRUCK TO HAVE ERROR MESSAGES POPPING UP WITH REGARDS TO THE STABLE TRAC SENSOR, THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON, THE RADIO GOING IN AND OUT, AND THE AC GOING OUT/COMING BACK ON. WHILE BACKING UP THE TRUCK IS LOCKING UP ON ME, AND THE STEERING WHEEL IS JERKING OUT OF MY HANDS, WHICH WILL DYE OUT AS WELL. WHEN I GO TO START IT BACK UP THE TRUCK THEN GIVES ME AN ERROR MESSAGE OF ROLL DOWN THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW THAT YOU HAVE TO DO IN ORDER TO CLEAR IT OUT. I'VE CURRENTLY HAD THIS AT THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP THE PAST 6 MONTHS WITHOUT THEM BEING ABLE TO FIX THIS NUMEROUS TIMES.

THREE TIMES AT DEALER FOR WATER LEAKING ON PASSENGER FLOOR,JUST WENT OVER MY THREE YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY,AFTER THIRD ATTEMPT,I DONT KNOW HOW MUCH DAMAGE TO ELETRICAL SYSTEM, LEAKS WHEN WASHING OR RAINING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WATER PENETRATED THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOORBOARD WHEN IT RAINED OR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THROUGH A CAR WASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER (LOCATED AT 128 DERBY STREET HINGHAM, MA 02043 PHONE (781) 749-1950) SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE PASSENGER DOOR SEAL; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND WATER CONTINUED TO PENETRATE THE FRONT PASSENGER FLOORBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,235.

WHILE USING A SPARE KEY TO MY 2015 SILVERADO FOR THE ENTIRE DAY, AND DRIVING OVER 70 MILES, THE "ANTI-THEFT" WARNING LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE APPROX. 10 MILES WITH THE LIGHT ON AND WHILE TURNING OFF A BUSY ROAD, ACROSS ON-COMING TRAFFIC, THE TRUCK COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. NO STEERING, NO FORWARD MOVEMENT, NOTHING. IT VIRTUALLY WENT DEAD! I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TRY TO START IT AGAIN (THANK GOODNESS NO TRAFFIC COMING THROUGH AT THE TIME). AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AGAIN AND I BEGAN TO DRIVE AROUND THE CORNER TO MY HOME, WHERE IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AGAIN, IN FRONT OF MY DRIVEWAY. HAD IT TOWED, AS I WAS NERVOUS ABOUT DRIVING IT AGAIN. THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO CONCLUDE WHAT HAPPENED. THEY TESTED IT WITH THE SPARE KEY, AND STILL NO SIGN OF ANY TROUBLE. I AM RELUCTANT TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK.

VERY LOW SPEED IMPACT CAUSED TOTAL STEERING LOSS. TURNING RIGHT ONTO A STREET, IMPACTING A STATIONARY VEHICLE LOCATED THE PASSENGER SIDE. SPEED OF IMPACT WAS VERY LOW, BUT CAUSED STEERING LOSS. REPAIR ESTIMATE SHOWS FAILURE OF THE GEAR ASSY, STEERING. I HAVE A POLICE REPORT AND INSURANCE ESTIMATE FROM CHEVY DEALERSHIP, AND WILL PROVIDE THEM UPON REQUEST, BUT DO NOT WISH TO MAKE THEM PUBLIC.

THE 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO K1500 HIGH COUNTRY VIBRATES AND MAKES A LOUD HUMMING NOISE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BEGINNING AT 20 MPH UP TO APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH. THE VIBRATION CAN BE FELT THROUGH THE SEAT AND STEERING WHEEL. THE FREQUENCY AND SOUND LEVEL IS NOT DEPENDENT ON SPEED, LOAD OR ROAD CONDITIONS. IT'S ALWAYS THERE. I'M TAKING IT BACK TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AGAIN TOMORROW FOR ANOTHER ROUND OF ATTEMPTED REPAIRS. AT FIRST THE DEALER SAID THE VIBRATION AND NOISE WAS NORMAL. AFTER SHOWING THEM A COPY OF THE GM SERVICE BULLETIN ' PI1354C, THEY NOW ADMIT TO A POTENTIAL ISSUE. STILL NOT SOLUTION.
