2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

AIR CONDITIONER STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. TOOK TO DEALER THEY FOUND A WELD BROKEN LOOSE ON THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE CONDENSER CAUSING A LEAK. CURRENTLY GM CONDENSERS ARE ON BACK ORDER. DUE TO THE OVERWHELMING PROBLEM NATIONWIDE. THEY CHARGE ME TO REFILL THE SYSTEM WITH FREON (OR EQUIVALENT), 24 HOURS LATER IT HAS LEAKED OUT AND IS BLOWING HOT AIR AGAIN. DEALER GUESSED 3 TO 6 WEEKS BEFORE THEY WOULD GET THE REPLACEMENT PART IN. TRUCK HAS 68,000 MILES WITH COST GOING TO BE $1300.00. WE ALSO HAVE A 2015 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WITH 74,000 MILES ON IT THAT HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. COST $1300.00 TO FIX.

I HAVE GOTTEN MANY NOTICES IN THE MAIL THAT THIS LEASED VEHICLE HAS A SAFETY RECALL (15822) - I HAVE CALLED MANY TIMES - ALWAYS GOES TO VOICE MAIL, I HAVE LEFT MANY MESSAGES, NO REPLY. I HAVE SENT THEM WEB MESSAGES - NO REPLY. I FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY. THEIR NUMBER IS 248-348-7000

AT A LOW SPEED COMING INTO MY CARPORT THE BRAKES HAD A HARD PEDAL AND WOULD NOT STOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. 5-27-2017 AND AGAIN WHILE BACKING UP TO MY LAWN MOWER TAILOR ON 5-29-2017 . NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT YOU COULD NOT PRESS PEDAL DOWN AT ALL. ?????

I WENT TO BACK OUT MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKES DID NOT APPLY. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY FAILED AGAIN. I APPLIED THE GAS AND WENT ON MY WAY THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK FINE. BUT FROM IDLE TO SLOW SPEEDS (1-10 MPH) THE BRAKES FAIL AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I CAN OR IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL. HAVE DODGED SEVERAL CARS AT RED LIGHTS.

TRUCK SHAKES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ISN'T NOTICEABLE ON SIDE STREETS IN THE CITY BUT WHEN TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT ALWAYS ABOVE 70-75 MILES PER HOUR. IT SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT A DRINK IN THE CONSOLE WILL SHAKE OUT OF IT'S CONTAINER. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES BUT THE CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER CANNOT FIX IT. THEY HAVE BALANCED AND REPLACED TIRES BUT CANNOT FIX IT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE OR COULD LEAD TO DAMAGE RENDERING IT UNSAFE.

FRONT BRAKES ON LEFT SIDE STICK AND WEAR UNEVENLY AND RAPIDLY. I HAVE HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED TWICE WITH 80% PAD LIFE ON RIGHT SIDE BY MIDAS. MIDAS STATED THAT THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE PISTON/CALIPER AND A NEW HOSE WHICH IS LARGER ALLOWING THE BRAKES TO RELEASE PROPERLY.

SO DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE YOLK ON THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE LAG IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND ENGINE COMMUNICATION LEADS TO EXTREME VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CLUNKING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THERE IS A DELAY IN THE MOTOR RECOGNIZING IT SO IT REVS UP SOME SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY FINDS THE GEAR IT CAUSES IT TO KICK. AND SINCE THE YOLK HAS PLAY IN IT, IT CAUSES THE DIFFERENTIAL TO CLUNK AS THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVESHAFT CATCHES UP AT A QUICKER RATE. WHICH LEADS TO MORE LOOSENESS IN THE YOKE AND CREATES A WOBBLE IN THE DRIVESHAFT. AND AN UNSETTLING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AROUND.

WHILE DRIVING MY FAMILY, I LOST OVER 90% OF MY STOPPING POWER WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY ON AN OFF RAMP. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHEN I HAD ALREADY SLOWED DOWN OFF THE RAMP TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY (AND NOT JUST MOMENTS BEFORE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY). AFTER EXTREME CAUTION AND SMART USE OF DOWN-SHIFTING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY NAVIGATE INTO A PARKING LOT THAT WAS REALLY CLOSE TO WHERE THE INCIDENT FIRST HAPPENED. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A VACUUM PUMP FAILURE AND REPLACED IT (NOTE THAT THEY OFFERED NO OTHER EXPLANATION OTHER THAN WHAT FAILED AND THAT IT WAS FIXED). THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE OKAY FOR NOW, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY (AND MY FAMILY'S) SAFETY AND OVERALL RELIABILITY OF THIS TRUCK. WHO'S TO SAY IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE I'M IN A MORE HIGH-SPEED SITUATION?

IT BEGAN WITH THE HEADLIGHTS/PARKING LIGHTS FLICKERING FOR A FEW WEEKS. LATER THE TRUCK BEGAN TO GIVE ERROR MESSAGES ABOUT STABILITY CONTROL, TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL, AND OTHERS. FINALLY IT VIOLENTLY JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (TRUCK HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING). THIS HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN VARIOUS TURNS BUT I AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH AND/OR DEATH. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS ON BOARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR BUMPER RUBBER HAD MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V007000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,813.
