HAD A VIBRATION PROBLEM WITH THIS 2015 SILVERADO 2500HD SINCE NEW SEPT. 2015 AT DIFFERING SPEEDS, FELT IN THE SEAT AND CENTER CONSOLE. VIBRATION IS ON CITY STREETS, HIGHWAYS, ALL ROADS. CENTER CONSOLE HAS A VERY NOTICEABLE SHAKE TO IT. VIBRATION AT TIMES IS MODERATE, AT OTHER TIMES MORE SEVERE. AT 2500 MILES BROUGHT TO GWATNEY CHEVROLET IN JACKSONVILLE, AR. THREE GOODYEAR TIRES REPLACED, ROAD FORCED BALANCED. AT 11,000 MILES BROUGHT TO GWATNEY CHEVROLET TWO MORE GOODYEAR TIRES REPLACED, ROAD FORCED BALANCED. IN GWATNEY NOTES, IT TOOK NINE TIRES TO FIND TWO GOOD TIRES TO PUT ON MY TRUCK. AT 18,000 MILES RETURNED TO GWATNEY CHEVROLET, SERVICE MANAGER STATED THE PROBLEM WAS THE TIRES AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A PORTION OF THE COST. MY RESPONSE WAS I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT THE TRUCK HAD SINCE IT WAS NEW. THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS HOSTILE, ARGUMENTATIVE AND REFUSED TO DO ANY MORE WORK ON THE TRUCK. I COMPLAINED TO GM CUSTOMER CARE, THEY WANTED TO GIVE ME $100 AND CLOSE THE CASE. I ESCALATED MY COMPLAINT TO THE GM EXECUTIVE LEVEL, THEY APPEAR TO BE MORE ACCOMMODATING, THEY STATED THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A GM TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TEAM LOOK AT MY PROBLEM. RIGHT NOW, I'M AWAITING FURTHER RESPONSE FROM GM.

REAR SEAT BELTS NO LONGER RETRACT BACK INTO UP POSITION CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE FOR MY KIDS. STARTED WITH ONE THEN THE OTHER REAR SEAT BELT BECAME INOPERABLE. WENT TO LOCAL GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY (REED CHEVROLET IN ST JOSEPH MO) I'M NOT ABLE TO HAUL MY KIDS AROUND IN MY TRUCK CAUSING AN INCONVENIENCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, A SECOND VEHICLE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. DURING THE CRASH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE PANEL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG PANELS ON BOTH SIDES HAD SEPARATED. SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE AIR BAG PANELS, BUT THE AIR BAGS REMAINED IN POSITION AND DID NOT DEPLOY. AFTER THE INCIDENT, THE SEAT BELTS WERE INOPERABLE DUE TO THE AIR BAG FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

PAINT IS EXTREMELY FRAGILE, IT'S RIDICULOUS ACTUALLY. IT SCRATCHES AND CHIPS BY JUST BY TOUCHING IT. I'VE NEVER SEEN A FACTORY PAINT JOB LOOK SO HORRIBLE IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT LITERALLY LOOKS HORRIBLE AFTER A 18 MONTHS AND IS EXTREMLY DIFFICULT TO GET A DEEP SHINE EVEN WITH POLISH, WAX, ETC. CHIPS ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND SLIGHT PITS ARE NOW SHOWING UP. THE CLEAR COAT EXTREMELY THIN TO NON-EXISTENT. I WAS EXTREMELY SURPRISED TO NOT FIND A RECALL AT THIS POINT BASED ON ALL THE WEB CHATTER AND WHAT I'M SEEING ON MY TRUCK.

FUEL LINE LEAK. TWO STEEL FUEL LINES WERE RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER CAUSING A FUEL LEAK. THIS IS A DIESEL PICK UP AND THE FUEL SYSTEM IS REPORTED AT 28,000 PSI OPERATION PRESSURE. THIS RESULTED IN A LEAK OF DIESEL FUEL THAT SPRAYED ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, WHICH CAN REACH TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 1400F CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED AS A STRONG RAW FUEL SMELL IN THE CAB CAUSING AN INHALATION HAZARD. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY SMALL STAINS IN MY PARKING SPOT. THE SMELL WAS NOT EVIDENT WHEN IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY WHEN STOPPED AND RUNNING. REPAIRS WERE MADE BY CASPER GMC DEALER IN CASPER, WY REPLACING THE FUEL LINES. THERE IS NO BUFFER (SUCH AS A TEFLON BUSHING) TO INSULATE SUCH EFFECTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH MAKING A RIGHT TURN, THE FRONT PASSENGER, FRONT DRIVER, AND REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR IMPACT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE DEALER CUT THE AIR BAGS OUT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 71,650.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V651000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 14 MONTHS AGO AND WAS TALKED INTO A GPS SYSTEM. THE DOCUMENTATION STATED IT WAS THE LATEST AND GREATEST AND UP TO DATE. IT WAS BOTHERSOME THAT THE SYSTEM COULD NOT KNOW ABOUT MY 7 YEAR OLD SUBDIVISION AND LARGE INTERSECTION SUCH AS THE NEW I 65 INTERCHANGE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF INDY. THEN I PULLED A TRAILER TO TEXAS AND WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A HEAD ON BECAUSE THE GPS SYSTEM IN MY NEW TRUCK THINKS ALL FRONTAGE ROADS IN TX ARE 2 WAY WHEN MOST ARE ONE WAY IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE TRAVEL LANES FOR THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS ABOUT 10 PM AND RAINING. I WAS DIRECTED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND CROSS UNDER AND TURN RIGHT AND GO 1 MILE TO MY DESTINATION. I MADE THE TURN AND WAS UP TO ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN AN 18 WHEELER CAME DOWN THE EXIT RAMP HEADED STRAIGHT FOR ME. WE BOTH HAD TO MAKE SOME WILD MANEUVERS TO AVOID THE COLLISION. I ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRUCK BED FROM DAMAGE ON TH SIDE FROM A SEMI JACKKNIFE. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND SPENT MANY CALLS WITH THEIR ENTERTAINMENT DEPT TO TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE. CHEVY REFUSES TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WANTS ME TO BUY AN UPDATE. I WON'T DO THAT AS IT WOULD ERASE THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE WHAT HAPPENED. IF YOU HAVE ANY WRONG WAY HEAD ONS IN TX IN A GM PRODUCT IS WAS MOST LIKELY THE GPS THAT CAUSED THE WRECK. I'M FRUSTRATED THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO INTEREST IN THIS PROBLEM. LUCKILY THE GPS IN MY PHONE WORKS FINE AND I CAN GET TO MY DESTINATIONS SAFELY FOR ALMOST FREE INSTEAD OF THE $850.00 CHEVY SYSTEM THAT HAS TRIED TO KILL ME TWICE BEFORE I STOPPED USING IT. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL CHEVY MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE ALSO SEEN THE PROBLEM IN BOTH CUSTOMER CARS AND WHEN THEY HAVE RENTED A GM PRODUCT. DATE IS A GUESS AS IT HAS BEEN AWHILE, NOTE: I DELIVER RV'S AND KEEP LOGBOOKS AND CAN GET THE EXACT DATE IF NEEDED. HD LONG BED CREW CAB 4X4 SINGLEHTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/VEHIC TIRE PU
