CHEVROLET Complaints

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that after using the Remote-Start to start the vehicle, there was an abnormal burning odor entering the cabin of the vehicle while the defroster was activated. No warning light was illuminated. In addition, after the contact had driven to the destination, the contact heard an abnormal bang and became aware that the rear passenger’s side glass had fractured. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 69,000.

My power steering goes in and out as I'm driving depending on the speed. I have trouble swerving if needed because the power steering is not working correctly all the time.

Shift to Park light remains on and car will not shut down when it is in Park already. This is an existing issue with Chevy Malibu but no recall yet.

Following vehicle startup, the entire audio system defaults to a muted state, affecting all sound output channels. This includes, but is not limited to: ?Critical Safety Alerts: Seat belt warnings, system malfunction indicators, and door ajar chimes. ?Proximity and Collision Warnings: Parking assist chimes, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert (RCTA) warnings, and Backup Collision Intervention (BCI) alerts. ?Communication Systems: Navigation prompts and hands-free/Bluetooth call audio. ?The audio failure persists until manual user intervention or the next vehicle cycle, disabling critical warning redundancy. ?Safety Implications ?The system-wide audio failure directly compromises the safety of vehicle occupants and surrounding pedestrians in two primary ways: ?Risk to Pedestrians: The silencing of proximity and backup collision warnings (RCTA, BCI) removes a vital layer of redundancy, significantly increasing the risk of striking vulnerable road users, such as children, while maneuvering in reverse. ?Impaired Driver Safety & Compliance: The defect also removes essential alerts like seat belt warnings and renders the mandated hands-free communication system inoperable, forcing potential driver distraction or non-compliance with driving regulations. ?Conclusion ?This audio muting defect is a critical safety failure that disables mandated auditory warning systems, severely limiting the driver's ability to operate the vehicle safely and respond to immediate, unseen hazards. Immediate investigation and resolution are necessary.

I do not have access to my owners manual. One was not included with the truck when I bought it. I was told I could download it in the app, but I am still unable to do so.

My 2024 Traverse was delivered with defective third-row seat headrests that do not return to their normal upright position after being folded, compromising passenger head and neck protection in a collision. On October 28, 2025, the vehicle developed a coolant leak confirmed by the dealer, but repairs have been delayed due to a national parts backorder, creating a risk of engine overheating or sudden breakdown while driving. Additionally, the front brakes began squeaking excessively about one year into my ownership, and the brake pad wear sensor shows only 18% life remaining at 18,454 miles, which raises concerns about reduced braking efficiency and increased stopping distance. All issues have been reported to an authorized dealer and remain unresolved except for the third-row headrests. These conditions pose significant safety risks to occupants and other road users.

On 12/3/2025, I moved my car in the driveway at 11:15am EST without any issue. At 6pm EST, myself and 2 young daughters got into the car to head out an hour away. As I went to drive away, I stepped on the brake and the car did not immediately stop…the brakes failed and came to a rolling stop. At that moment all types of warning and lights lit up the dashboard. I placed the car in park exactly where it was in the driveway and left it. I also tried to select the Ebrake and it would not engage. I called the dealer first thing the next morning as that had been closed at the time it happened. I was told to bring it in and not to drive it so nobody in my car or else would be at risk. The car was towed at my expense to the dealer. When I got in touch with the dealer that afternoon to get a status. They advised the believe the BCM needed to be updated because it seem to not be communicating properly but wanted to keep it over night to retest it before they sent me home with it. Going to point out several things…thankfully I had not left my house, as I live on a mountain and should that have happened while descending it could have been catastrophic. No warning or anything that the brakes would fail! According to records it shows the did a recall update back in Feb 2025 regarding the BCM- however, how are we sure it truly was fixed or was defective. GM/Chevy needs to take accountability for this defect and safety hazard that could result in death. In reading forums, I am not the only one this has happened to
