Lemon law eligibility depends on state law, number of repair attempts, and days out of service. Consult an attorney for actual eligibility.
The same components appear in both official NHTSA recalls and owner-filed complaints — a double-confirmed failure signal.
Worn chain tensioners cause timing chain skip or snap — common on GM 5.3L/6.2L, Ford EcoBoost, VW/Audi EA888, BMW N47/N63. Listen for cold-start rattles.
Water pump failure causes rapid overheating. If the engine overheats even once, head gasket damage is likely — turning a $400 part into a $3,000+ repair.
Degraded transmission fluid destroys clutch packs and solenoids. CVT transmissions are especially sensitive — neglected fluid can result in a $4,000–$8,000 replacement.
On 4WD/AWD vehicles, neglected differential or transfer case fluid causes metal-on-metal wear. Replacement costs $1,500–$4,000.
Degraded coolant loses corrosion inhibitors and attacks aluminum engine components. Can cause head gasket failure and water pump corrosion.
Worn spark plugs cause misfires that can foul and crack catalytic converters. A $150 tune-up can prevent a $1,200 catalytic converter replacement.
Dirty or failing injectors cause rough idle, reduced fuel economy, and increased emissions. Cleaning costs $100–$200; replacement $800–$1,600.
Documented systemic defect with class action or NHTSA investigation. These issues are often unrepaired at point of sale.
One failed component has created stress on connected systems. Repair costs compound quickly — a $500 fix can become $3,000+ if cascade damage is ignored.
NHTSA VIN-specific recall lookup returned no data for this VIN. The 6 recalls below are model-wide and may or may not apply to this exact vehicle depending on production date. Verify at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

There is an open recall but my truck is not listed. I was driving around today and my front brakes are not fully releasing. Brakes are hot and do not feel comfortable driving with this issue.Call my local dealership and GM customer service and both say I am out of luck. The recall is a faulty vacuum pump and or an update of the electronic brake control module software. This also happened a few weeks ago in occasion but today was all day. Thanks.
My truck only has 72,000 miles on it, yet the lifters in the engine are failing/ malfunctioning. While in drive, it has a hard time shifting into higher gears causing the engine to continue revving but not picking up more speed. A quick google search shows this to be a common issue. GM was made aware of the problem but did not offer much help in resolving the matter. GM specifically stated the NHTSA needs to say it is a safety issue before they will do anything about it.

Transmission issues that I have reported since 2 months into owning it. Anti-lock brake issues or braking issues where brake pedal is stiff but not stopping vehicle. Front grill shutter issues Temperature Transmission thermostat issues
Anti-lock brakes do not work and have not worked though there's no recall for my vin, parking assist has not worked, blind spot stopped working also
I have had shifting issues with the transmission since 2 months into having this vehicle I have been reporting it to the dealership who has told me consistently that jerking grinding and loud noises are totally normal then the recall came out for these specific issues in the 2017 Silverados though my VIN is not listed but I still haven't always have had the very same problems stated in the recall
Truck started making a solid bass thumping as driving then got worser as days went by, then I spent money at 4 places to get opinions but no1 wasn't definitely, so I had the engine opened up and there it was a SPLIT CRANKSHAFT, I knew it was something there bcas I pull oiled and I seen metal themes/ grit in my oil, And there's no recall on my truck, then I did research online and yesss it's alot of issues like that, plus DOD is defeated on those chevys, so I need a whole other motor
Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 on January 16, 2026. The contact stated that while an independent mechanic was attempting to repair the engine, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy with the vehicle. The vehicle was a private sale. The contact called the private dealer and requested the money back that was paid to purchase the vehicle, and the dealer declined the request. The contact called the State Attorney General's Office and was referred to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was approximately 182,000; it was later discovered that the correct mileage was 192,393.
I was driving in the rain 3 nights ago when my Chevy Silverado unexpectedly started shaking very bad , jerking while trying to brake, surging forward and total loss of acceleration. My dash lights were blinking and I was scared ,I had no idea what was going on. Since our family are loyal Jba customers( we own 2 silverados) and payed for the extended warranty and certified warranty I drove straight there and explained what happened. I was scared and crying, just diagnosed with Vulva Cancer stage lllC. Well the truck has been in the shop at jba diagnosed with bad Cam shift rod and lifts. They want $10,300.00 for repair. Even though we've been with them so long and had every maintenance done through them they weren't helpful in helping. Can someone help me? I need to be able to get to John's Hopkins for my cancer treatments. I've looked up this issue and it looks VERY common. Please, help me. Jba had me sign a document so the dates can be verified.
Rear power sliding window shattered after remote vehicle ignition was started in cold weather last month. It blew outward. There was a recall for this issue, but my Vin # was not included despite it being a 2017 Chevy Silverado. the recall number is: N192265660 Why was my Vin # not included? I am working to now get repaired by Chevy dealership. But questioning its exclusion from recall.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the vehicle hesitated before jolting into the next gear. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle occasionally lost automotive power while depressing the accelerator pedal. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who was able to retrieve DTC: P0452; and recommended that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred. The contact had taken the vehicle back to the same mechanic and was advised that the fuel pump had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 180,000.
One of the factory solder joints on the air conditioning condenser failed causing the refrigerant to leak out of the air conditioning system rendering the air conditioning notn functional. This is a safety issue because without functioning air conditioning the windshield defogger is ineffective and visibility is drastically reduced. This is a known issue with 2017 through 2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks. The problem has not been diagnosed by a dealer as I confirmed the diagnosis myself. There were no warning lights when the failure occurred. The only indication of the failure was the loss of effectiveness of the windshield defogger. This failure first occurred on 3/6/26 with 58,485 miles on the vehicle. I am the only one who has inspected the vehicle and it is available for third party inspection upon request.
Transmission failure at 120, 000 was replaced. Then factory thermostat went and then trickled down to the transmission. Got too hot and cooked the transmission. Come to find out it was also the radiator so that was replaced along with the thermostat and a second transmission. Put a transmission cooler on but still get very warm on the transaction fluid. Can't keep the temperature down in the summer while I'm towing. Trailer is well under the weight of the max capacity for the truck. And the latest problem I've had was to replace parts of the frame because that was rotted and beyond inspectable. Now I'm 14,000 in the negative with no reprieve. What is GM going to do for me as far as reimbursement? Cuz I still owe a little over $9,000 on the truck. This is ridiculous and I believe I'm going to another brand of truck when I can get out from underneath this one. I've been a Chevy owner my entire life and this is how you guys react to all your mistakes.
I am submitting a complaint regarding my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT. My truck currently has approximately 80,000 miles, and it has recently been diagnosed by a Chevrolet dealership as needing a complete transmission replacement. This vehicle has been lightly driven and very well maintained, and I rarely drive it. Because of this, I am extremely concerned and disappointed that such a major mechanical component has failed at such relatively low mileage. A transmission should reasonably last well beyond 80,000 miles under normal driving conditions. The dealership informed me that the entire transmission needs to be replaced, which is a very costly repair. Given the mileage and the way the vehicle has been used, I believe this may indicate a defect or premature failure rather than normal wear and tear. I am requesting that General Motors review this situation and consider goodwill assistance or coverage for the repair. I purchased this vehicle with the expectation that it would be reliable for many more miles, and this issue has significantly affected my confidence in the vehicle. I would appreciate a review of my case and any assistance GM can provide toward resolving this problem

While driving the vehicle the passenger side of my rear window shattered due to the rear defroster circuit overheating. I brought the vehicle into my local Chevrolet Cerified dealership to examine - they stated that my vin number is not included in the wide spread recall affecting over 150k vehicles having the same exact issue. I did call GM and she told me how the recall could only be specific to vehicles manufactured at certain locations, or many other factors could lead to my truck not being covered. My vehicle has the power sliding center window - I have researched and have seen a ton of vehicles with this same rear window have the exact same issue as I did. Even the same side breaks. I don't understand how mine is not covered under the recall so many others are. This currently has not been fixed - I am concerned that the same issue will occur even after getting it fixed. I feel it should be not only covered under the recall, but the faulty part causing the issue should be replaced just as it has been with all the covered vehicles. I am asking for this to be reviewed further and expanding the vehicles covered under this recall. It is a very unsafe problem that can cause fire and injury. I don't know how bad this could have been if someone were sitting in the back seat when this happened.
Driving down the road, and suddenly driver side of rear windshield exploded. GM has publicly acknowledged faulty circuit/glass in prior (expired) campaign in US (N192265660) and apparently there is a full recall in Canada for this problem, 2014-2018 Silverado 1500 with power sliding rear windshield. Chevrolet/GM told me they would not offer any assistance in repair. Repair cost is $948 at local glass shop. Will upload receipt after repair. Of course, this could have caused a major incident on the highway, from losing control of vehicle, heart attack, ,glass could go flying...However, my dog and I maintained our cool and there were no injuries. No one has inspected this. The glass will be replaced in two days. Dealership wasn't interested in helping. There were no warning lamps at all. I bought vehicle in 2021, after N192265660 "expired", and thusly had no knowledge of nor opportunity to fix the issue, as GM never notified me of it.
1. The vehicle's transmission does not operate consistently and safely. 2. At times, the transmission will not engage, and this has placed my family in very dangerous situations when changing lanes. 3. At red lights, at times, the transmission will not engage to drive. 4. When slowing in traffic at times , the transmission will not adjust to the slower speed, although the operator is applying the brakes. Then, without warning, the transmission will engage the higher speed, almost launching the vehicle forward suddenly, potentially into another vehicle or person, depending on the situation.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal metal-on-metal sound coming from the engine. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that on a separate occasion, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended while depressing the accelerator pedal, and the engine sounded rough. The vehicle was taken to two different independent mechanics, who diagnosed that the Active Fuel Management (AFM) and Dynamic Fuel Management (DFM) were impacting the lifters, which impacted the camshaft, and scraped the cylinder walls, causing the engine to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then towed to the dealer, who confirmed the engine failure. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The vehicle was towed to the residence and no longer driven. The failure mileage was approximately 156,000.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

Our 2017 High Country 1500 Chevy Silverado is garage-kept and has very low mileage (73k). But it has the Active Fuel Management (AFM) system, which just caused lifter failure, thus causing catastrophic engine damage. In research, we discovered newer models with the AFM have been recalled for this exact problem. Unfortunately, our model truck with the AFM has not been recalled, despite the fact that the problem and damage are the same.
approximately, on or about [XXX], while driving our Chev Silverado, VIN as noted [XXX] ) started to experience transmission issues when i started from a stop sign and it started hesitating upon acceleration, jerking (gears not meshing correctly every time i had to stop). This included delayed engagement of gears, roughing shifting, slight slipping of gears, at times i could smell a burning like smell, (No leaks noticed on transmission anywhere and no warning lights coming on to warn about Transmission problems). On Jan 23rd, 2026, i took it to B&F automotive had mechanic check fluid level and do drive test with me. Fluid found to be good. I could hear a slight sound like high pitch sound at times, only last few seconds randomly). Mechanic suggested i put some fuel system cleaner in and 90 Octane to hopefully clear the system. dealer also suggested this just as a suggestion though they found no apparent issues during prior service oil change I just had dealer do a 27-point inspection with oil change and they did not notice issues. Since purchase of truck in 2019, from dealer, all services have been done only by dealer (Woodland Motors). we had bought extending service warranty with vehicle. According to dealer, it just expired Dec 2025. I currently have appointment to have dealer inspect it on Monday Jan 25th, 2026, at 1pm concerning our complaint of drive train issues. Current mileage is approx. 63, 060 miles. on advise of mechanic, i called dealer right away and set the above appoint. I explained to dealer rep that this will cause me financial hardship as i am [XXX]. i do maintain a maintenance file with all service records since purchase.

At 54,900K miles my truck started to experience a tapping sound from the engine. I took it to a shop and was told that the Auto Fuel Management system can cause problems with the lifters. I tried to use my 200,000/10 year Warranty, but the warranty company refused because I went over 6 months on my oil change. The cost of repairs was over $6,900 and the push rods were bent, one lifter was broke off, the cam was damaged from the lifters and a piece on the timing chain was broke. Chevy knows there's a problem with the 5.3L Engine and refuses to fix it. No warning light ever came on. This problem first appeared in December of 2025 around 54,900 miles. I have since had the vehicle repaired and I kept all the parts. Chevy should recall this engine instead of letting their customers pay the repair costs for a flawed design caused by their AFM System. I was told to stop driving my vehicle because if I continued to drive it with the tapping sound it could cause the engine to blow up. I also have an After Market Warranty which would not cover the repair because Chevy issued a Technical Service Bulletin about the problem, Bulletin No.: 19-NA-219.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked with the defroster activated, there was smoke coming from the rear window, followed by a loud noise. The contact stated that upon turning around, the contact noticed that the driver's side rear window had shattered. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
Bought the truck brand new, after 20,000 miles started vibrating. Took it to the dealership said it was the transmission shutters. They changed the fluid. At 50,000 miles did it again, they said GM came out with a thicker fluid, but it in there. Was fine for a while. At around 135,000 miles getting the vibration again. Also, at 140,000 miles cylinder 8 misfiring. Took it in and they tore it apart and said cylinder 4 and 8 lifter failure. Damage to cam and bent rods. Had to replace all lifters, cam and rods. Cost over $10,500, but had BG warranty used that additive every oil change so BG covered $4,000. I went by the oil life indicator on the truck to determine when I needed to change it, but apparently for engine for life you have to change it more frequently at 6,000 miles, so they wouldn’t cover that part.
I am having the exact transmission issue for this truck that has been recalled, but when I call to get it serviced, I am told "there isn't any unrepaired recalls. This issue is persistent and unresolved. Please look into this and potentially recall the transmission issue. This truck has constant shifting troubles form 1st to 2nd with shuddering.
While driving on Highway 35 in Austin, Texas, my vehicle's transmission unexpectedly failed, which placed myself and my passengers in a precarious situation. The vehicle became inoperable on the side of the highway, necessitating that my passengers and I manually push it while traffic was actively flowing. This mechanical issue occurred without any prior indication. Through my subsequent research, I have observed that this particular problem appears to be a recurring concern with this model of vehicle.

I bought the vehicle with 14000 miles.had oil changed at dealership ever ,5000 miles.I drive 10 miles a day.at 55000 miles the lifters are ticking like a time bomb.It makes me sick that a vehicle with no more miles than this is in this shape.Gm should stand behind there junk motors with this afm.
The brakes stop functioning at slow speeds such as parking and backing , this has been an ongoing issue for many years, mostly once in a while, but lately almost every single time I drive it , I believe it’s an ECBM Issue
The lifter collapsed causing it to scar the cam shaft due to afm/dod

The rear window of my 2017 Chevy Silverado exploded. I had the rear defrosters on, and they malfunctioned. I thought I smelled something hot before this happened. I am surprised this didn't cause a fire. I have researched this issue, and it appears to be an ongoing problem with the 2014 - 2019 Silverado and Sierra trucks. In fact, Canada has a recall on this issue, but the U.S. does not. Why is that?
Low speed loss of brakes
After starting the vehicle. I heard a hissing noise coming from the rear of the cabin. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw a large amount smoke rising from the box where the rear defroster power connects to the window. I immediately shut the vehicle off, got out and walked around the passenger side of the vehicle. As I approached the passenger rear door, the rear passenger window exploded with a Loud pop, shooting glass across the bed of the truck. I know there is currently a recall for this issue in Canada.

When driving all gauges go to zero, truck doesn’t illuminate which gear it’s in, warning lights come on (service 4WD, service stabilitrak, service traction control, reduced power steering, service traction control, service trailer brake system ). When NOT driving if these issues show on the dash when parked and the car doesn’t illuminate which gear it’s in, it does not crank over, does not start, there is no clicking noise either like if it was a bad starter. All the dash lights, gauges, radio goes black as if I turn the vehicle off instead of on. This has been happening since around 2020-2021 in Colorado. It was in a shop for over a month with no resolution. In Idaho in 2022-2024 in a shop for a month with no resolution, and now CA in 2025. No mechanic shop can figure out what is wrong, no “certified GM” shop or “certified GM engineer/technician can tell me what’s wrong. I have had the following replaced already and still having issues. Body Control Module (BCM), the Transfer Case control Module (TCCM), and the Brake Control Module (BCM).
See attached document for complaint.
Upon reversing the vehicle and apply the brake, as if in a parking lot or driveway, if pushing the brake pedal more than twice the pedal becomes hard and the vehicle becomes hard to stop without and excessive amount of force being applied to the brake pedal. If depressing the brake pedal more than 3 times, it is almost impossible to stop the vehicle with it coasting several feet. Checked for a recall, there is no recall, but there is a service bulletin that pertains to this issue concerning the brake assist vacuum pump booster, N182202780-01 and N192268490, for the 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado. An update to the electronic brake control module was completed on 2019-09-23, but such calibration seems to not be enough to resolve the issue.
Transmission went out while driving the vehicle and left it stuck in the middle of the intersection we had to push it though traffic. It had no forward movement. Would only drive in reverse. No warning or anything just made a clunk and wouldn't move any further.
The transmission started to shutter at 94,000 miles. Gwatney Chevrolet quoted $7,500 for a new transmission replacement. Had an in independent shop quote $4,670 for a reman transmission. I have only towed 2,000 lbs at a time in the past. This is the 1st time towing a 6,000lbs camper. It was only driven 800 miles with the camper in tow. The vehicle only has less than 95,000 miles and my transmission is shuttering and has metal shavings in the fluid. Needing a replacement at this time frame and mileage is ridiculous.
I hit a deer going 60mph and the side airbags in the pillars attempted to deploy but did not appear to fully inflate, not only that but my steering wheel airbag did not deploy at all/no other airbags deployed.
Transmission failure, I had to have the transmission replaced and no longer have it for inspection. I was on a one lane highway in Franconia NH with guardrails on each side, and no phone reception. Traffic was trying to get by me including tractor trailers, we were horrified and couldn't get out. these 6L80 transmission in the Chevy Silverado, come to find out, have been failing for a long time. 2 of my friends lost there's also, all of us were between 100k-115K miles. The transmission shop I went to, and others I called said they can't believe there was never a recall, they get many of them. Zero warning, just quit. I take exception care of my vehicles regarding maintenance, always early, these are to expensive to repair when your on a retired budget.
Issue is based off of this service bulletin, but GM has failed to call a recall on this for coverage. I was driving my daughter to softball practice. Every few minutes there would be a "stabilitrak" message showing on the driving information area. Then in slower speeds my dashboard screen would blank out and then go back to CarPlay. Then once I approached a parking lot at slower speeds my vehicle lost total power and shut down. Then had to switching the gear to park, then turn off the ignition key, then wait a few seconds and turn the key on to start the truck. It started as normal and was able to park in the parking space. Very scary and this is a very serious issue, I could have been in an accident with my daughter. This has to be addressed, I can't be the only one having this issue.
Premature engine failure specifically the lifters failed and the push rod failed causing the vehicle to become unusable and stranding the operator. Also transmission surges and slips causing unsafe driving conditions
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the message "Service Power Steering" was displayed, and the steering wheel was difficult to turn in either direction. Additionally, the ABS and Stabili-trac warning lights remained illuminated. The cause of the failures was not yet determined. The local dealer was informed of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was 114,800.
I was driving to work last Monday when my truck entered a lymph mode. It would only let me go 40mph, when I was on a road that allowed others to go 60-70mph. I had traffic behind me as well. As I made it closer to work, the truck would only rev up. It left me sitting in a median with traffic going past me. Thankfully, I was not hit. I had to cut the truck off, wait several minutes, then start it back up to limp it to a safe spot where I could have it towed. I had it towed to a transmission shop. Please note* I have done the regular transmission maintenance on this vehicle as well. This shop done a diagnostic test on it ($95 +tax). It was a complete transmission failure. They told me this was due to the torque converter. General Motors, GM, programmed the transmission torque converter to kick on in 2nd gear which causes it to overheat practically everytime it drives. The same transmission shop said they rebuild 3-4 of the 6L80 transmissions a week. I have a 2017 chevy silverado with a 6 speed transmission, the 6L80..... This is an issue that GM should be held liable for. The transmission rebuild will be $4500-4800 + tax. Thank you to whomever reads this. I could really use help. My email is [XXX] . Phone number is [XXX] . I can provide rebuild cost and receipts when needed. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Electronic brakes lock up during driving. No power going to rear wheels.
I experienced issues with braking including shuddering brakes. I took the vehicle to a repair shop who looked into any active recalls and there were none, I had the electronic brake control module recall completed in 2019. The shop replaced the front brakes and resurfaced the back which did not fix the issue. They then replaced the vacuum pump which did fix the issue I was responsible for all costs. I recently noticed my vehicle is covered under special coverage N182202780 through 2027 which covers the cost of the vacuum pump replacement. Chevy is refusing to reimburse for the costs because the work was not done at their dealership despite not having a recall that States that. I would like the issue addressed theough a formal recall and reimbursement of repair costs as Chevy is obviously aware there is a safety issue related to braking due to failing components.
There is a faulty weld on the radiator of my 2017 chevy silverado 1500 LT that cracked and began to leak coolant. Dealer stated that this is a common issue and there was no other remedy but to replace the radiator and coolant lines. i have seen bulletins and warranties for earlier models but the issue is still there.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving or while the vehicle was parked and occupied, while depress the horn, the horn failed to operate. The contact turned off and restarted the vehicle, but the failure persisted. The contact stated that the failure started in 2023.

The contact stated that the failure had occurred on several occasions. The contact stated that the vehicle had been repaired once. The horn was replaced the first time; however, with the current failure the horn was not yet replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 155,000.
I have lost my brakes when reversing, however I have good brakes when driving forward. The transmission is also slipping and the torque converter in the transmission is becoming very worn ALREADY. I do not tow anything with this vehicle, and I only have 73,411 miles on this truck.
In light of the recalls for other Silverado Fuel Pumps, I believe an investigation should be initiated for vehicles like mine that are part of the same manufacturer but were not part of the original recall. Right when this recall was announced my Silverado which is in excellent condition and has only 73,000 miles on it has a failing fuel pump, communicated by a check engine light and coded for the fuel pump failure. According to my dealer the cost to replace is almost 2,000 dollars. A fuel pump in a heavy duty truck should not fail after only 73000 miles.
making a ticking noise on the engine
Unknown system or component failure. Vehicle is available upon request to inspect. My families safety was at risk, power steering goes out while driving, all service lights come on, vehicle goes into “limp mode”, would go in and out of gear while driving, gears won’t work properly (P,R,D…), when shifting into R camera won’t come on. This problem is continuing. Have not been able to get it into dealership. Vehicle has not been inspected by police, dealership, or insurance. Stabilitrak notification, and all service lights go off. No problem or symptoms prior to failure. Vehicle was well maintained and I have service records of every repair, oil change, etc.
High pressure fuel pump going bad and causes loss of power which is making my brake booster not getting enough vacuum causing me to loose braking. Common issue in these trucks and gm knows it
Brakes went out driving. Replaced master cylinder, brake booster, and vacuum11 at 61696 miles.
Transmission and torque converter blew up. Rpm of truck was uncontrollable. Total transmission failure.
We bought this truck in 2020 with only in two years had to have the transmission rebuilt within warranty 2 1/2 years later after rebuilding the transmission with the dealer warranty, the transmission gives out again same problems as before now the warranty expired and we have to pay out of pocket to have the transmission replaced as no one is reaponxible for repairs. This has been an ongoing issue since the beginning And I don’t understand what this transmission is not being recalled if you could please explain multiple people that I have talked to and multiple mechanics have advised me that this is an ongoing issue with this make and model. I only wish I had known this before purchasing and now I’m hoping that I can get help on this.
While driving my vehicle, with around 85,000 miles, the engine suddenly began running rough and felt jerky and sluggish. This was concerning and potentially dangerous situation, as the engine failure happened while I was travelling at high speed. A sudden loss of power on the highway put me and other drivers at serious risk. The check engine light came on, so I pulled over as soon as I could safely do so. Shortly after, the light started flashing, so I shut off the engine and contacted the dealership service department. They advised having the vehicle towed in for inspection. Prior to this event, I had not had any issues with the vehicle nor had the check engine light come on. After looking into it, the dealership initially suspected a thrown rod but said they wouldn't know the full extent of the issue until they could tear down the engine. Upon further inspection, they determined that the lifters had failed and would need to be replaced. The dealership has performed all regular maintenance and oil changes on my vehicle. When I asked what could have caused this, they explained that it's a known issue with these lifters and engines - one that Chevrolet has experienced for years, even in models prior to my 2017.
Automatic transmission (6L-80, 6-speed) failure around 92500 miles. After numerous loud and bad shifts, lost forward gears and had to be towed to repair shop. Required full replacement of transmission and torque converter out of warranty.
Brake assist light comes on and then I have no brakes
Lost power to engine while on interstate.
When stopping truck jerks, downshifts and lurches forward. While driving over 45mph truck does not seem to shift properly and jerks intermitantly and sounds different than before. 2017 silverado with 47,000 miles on it, bought brand new!
I own a 2017 Silverado 1500 ecoTech V6, 6L80 transmission, 91500 - over the weekend, I started having an issue shifting from 3rd to 4th. I noticed the transmission was over 190 degrees, as high as 230 degrees, then cooling back to 194. When attempting to shift from 3rd the 4th, it will start, then return to 3rd. It will do so 4 or 5 times until eventually skipping 4th and going to 5th. This happens when the transmission fluid is cold, 80s or when fluid gets to 190+. I called the local Chevy deal, who told me there weren't any open recalls for my VIN and that the diagnostics would be $190 which may or may not be a software update. They would not know until after the disanostics.

The contact stated that the lifters were replaced; however, the failure persisted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.
Electronics for hands free stopped working. This part was already replaced once. When backing up, the whole truck shut down. I restarted, it said to roll drivers side window down and up. Truck started up again. Few days later... returning from trip, lost power, windshield wipers came on, electronics in truck started blinking. Pulled over, rolled driver's side window up and down. started back on road. This has happened numerous times. Whenever I gave it extra gas, asking for power to pass, same thing mentioned above happened. Very stressful! Next day, hit a hole, truck totally shut down again. Husband was able to safely coast off road, however, if he had been pulling out at a major intersection, this could have been bad. Warning light that comes with shutdown says "stabltrack issue". I have not seen our dealer service department yet, but plan to very soon. VERY unsafe... and I love this truck!!!!
The AFM system is a faulty system that starved my lifters of oil and they ended up collapsing causing a flat spot on my cam. The engine code would come up as a misfire but the code is caused by the flat spot created on the cam by the lifter it's a faulty system that cost me $7,000. My 8spd transmission also has a hard shift from 1st to 2nd pushing the vehicle forward and jerking it when it shifts. The dealer and GM said this was natural with this type of transmissions which we now know is a lie.
THE LOCK ACTUATORS ON THE TRUCK HAVE FAILED MULTIPLE TIMES ON EACH DOOR. THE REAR LOCKS HAVE FAILED AGAIN. I HAVE REPLACED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES. I DO SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ON FORUMS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. I ALWAYS HAVE TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE MY DOORS LOCK WHEN I EXIT MY VEHICLE. I HAVE PUT TODAYS DATE AS THE INCIDENT DUE TO MULTIPLE TIMES THE LOCKS HAVE FAILED
Lifters caused engine failure at 114000 miles resulting in needing a new engine
Service brake assist light comes on and brakes a very hard to push. Brakes also make a weird sound when pushed down. I have to push really hard to hold the vehicle from moving
The contact's son owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While the contact's son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the windows started to get foggy with the defroster activated. The occupants inside the vehicle started smelling a burning wire odor inside the vehicle. The odor became stronger with smoke entering the cabin of the vehicle after turning off the defroster. The occupants then heard a loud popping sound coming from the vehicle. The contact's son immediately pulled over and the occupants inside the vehicle frantically exited the vehicle. Upon inspection, it was discovered that the rear window had shattered into several pieces. Despite the failure, the glass remained intact with a hole at the bottom of the window. The contact operated the vehicle normally. The contact stated that no injuries was reported. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle, and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.
Transmission shift at stop sudden Sudden jerking and lunging forward.
After remotely starting my truck, I was met with a strange noise that was both noticeable and unprecedented. The certified Chevy dealership provided three different estimates for tearing down the engine to verify the faulty lifter. Unfortunately, the dealer and warranty provider are unwilling to accept that these issues are inherent to the AFM system. Given the vehicle's relatively low mileage of 89,000 miles, such repairs seem premature.
Transmission Went out at 45100 miles Breaks don’t work pedal gets stiff and will not engage breaks truck rolls can not drive due to breaks still doing this. Service Break system light will flash. Truck only has 55000 miles as of now Dealer replaced transmission with receipt to prove paid out of pocket. Breaks still not in working order do to dealer not being able to figure out the problem.

The six speed transmission 6L80 failed with less then 60k miles and before it's first service due at 72k miles, I have already had the transmission repaired so the original transmission components are not available for inspection. My transmission failed when I was driving across the Coronado bridge in San Diego CA. This bridge has no shoulders to safely pull over. I had my truck towed to Cummings Chevrolet in National City CA. and they confirmed the transmission needed replacing. Yes the check engine light did come on but it was already too late to save the transmission.

The steraring wheel shutters, after a few transmission flushes , it went away but still kicks hard when going through gears. The lifters failed in my vehicle 2 times , rods were bent.
My truck is a 2017, but only has 46,000 miles on it. The engine light came on and it started banding loudly. I lost power and it would not go over 30 miles per hour. The dealer informed me the lifter failed and destroyed the cam shaft. Upon research, I have discovered this is a problem for many of the 5.3 engines. Many people are stuck now. I realize I have no warrantee, but I take excellent care of the truck and it only has 46,000 miles on it. It should not need a new motor, especially if it is due to a defect from GM. They knew about this issue and are doing nothing. I am now faced with an $11,000 quote for a new engine. This is wrong on so many levels.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving approximately 30 MPH, there was smoke coming from the rear middle cabin sliding window.

I was driving at approximately 35 -40 mph in foggy and wet conditions. As I approached a corner, I collided with a big metal dumpster. My airbags gave off that powder, and the smell was prominent, and the dash light came on. As well as, my side airbags (only the plastic) popped out, but, to my amazement, none of my actual airbags deployed at all. And my passenger seat belt was locked up to where I couldn't use it anymore, and no one was in that seat. Had I been in a frontal collision, I might have died. This is a major safety issue I have a 2107 Silverado 1500 LT.
Engine push rod was bent which caused lifters and 1cam shaft to be destroyed. Vehicle is tore down at dealership right now. The immediate decrease of speed and power while in traffic. Then a loud bang and engine missing. Yes, dealership. No No, but once it failed check engine light was flashing, anti lock brake lights came on. In the last few weeks four other trucks, besides ours, have been into the same dealership with similar problems. At the time when our truckcame in another truck was in for similar problems. The years of the vehicles are from 2017, 2018, 2019, Chevy Silverado 5.3 liter engines.
I was parked at a gas pump, just got done fueling, hung hose up. I quickly ran into the gas station to grab a drink and as temps are 0°F, I remote started my vehicle from check out counter. When I returned to my vehicle the cab was filling with smoke. I sprung into action and quickly but safely drove away from gas pump with very little visibility, due to smoke, I assessed what was going on. Upon further investigating where the fire was coming from, I Could see the smoke was billowing from my rear window. As I Went to check on window heater that turns on automatically with remote start, the windows left panel exploded in my face from the outside of truck. Minor glass cuts, no major injuries. No insurance claims filed, no emergency services called as after I extinguished fire and turned off vehicle smoke seemed to have dissipated enough to safely get home 4 minutes away. As preventive messures I pulled the fuse to the rear window defroster so it is no longer getting power. This is seriously a safety hazard and thankfully I was able to pull away from gas pump. My truck, not so lucky. After looking into the issue when I got home, the US has NOT filed a recall on rear window defrosters for truck years 2014-2019. Canada DOES have a recall for this issue. As it has happened to me in the US in a very scary manor this needs to be addressed. I can’t imagine what would have happened if I was driving with kids in the rear seat. This needs to be taken care of and not at owners expense. Americans buy new vehicles to feel safe and secure. After owning my vehicle I have second thoughts about owning new, especially if a fire happens due to electronics built into the vehicle. I pray we can have this issue resolved to save all the innocent GM truck owners with families and friends who would also like to feel safe in their trucks. With temps this low in New England, I would like to be able to use my window defroster and have safer fields of view in icy/snowy conditions.
The truck suddenly started misfiring, running rough and lost power while driving. All the dash lights illuminated and the check engine light began flashing. We were a couple hours from home so we had to have the truck towed home. This could have been much worse as we were towing a trailer on a busy highway but luckily we were able to pull over to the side of the highway. Upon returning home we had the truck checked at the local Chevrolet dealership service department and were told we needed a whole new engine. After about 5 months after the initial incident we paid to have a new engine installed at the same dealership that inspected it. The truck had not exhibited any signs of any problems prior to the incident.
Not sure if it is a torque converter or the transmission there are no codes reading on the computer but multiple times when driving, I will lose all power in Drive and it will take a few minutes to catch up before it goes back in the drive and accelerates
While driving to work on interstate I22 in New Albany Mississippi I suddenly noticed serging and my RPM gauge fluctuating , I immediately knew it was torque converter failure at 134,000 mostly highway miles,which is a very low amount for a truck that I really don't work or pull trailers, I can accept transmission failure around 250,000 miles but not 134,000 , upon research I discovered GM had a lot of issues with it's light duty truck transmission from this generation of truck due to substandard torque converter material.
Rear defrost shorted and shattered the glass.
Rear driver side window panel cracked due to cold weather no incident or accident occurred. It just cracked and needs to be replaced. This to me is unusual for tempered glass.
Engine failure in December, 2024. Lifters, Cam Shaft and Cam Bearings. Working with my dealer now for an engine replacement.
I spent 40k cash for my 2017 high country to find out GM great idea of AFM and no good 10 speed transmission/torque converter was made with low quality and careless parts. I'm definitely getting me a lawyer to fix this [XXX] because all I've ever wanted was this body style but all they care about is money over quality. GM and they're retail sellers knew about AFW problems and sold us [XXX] anyway. They are saying that transmission issues aren't they're fault and actually getting away with that answer. Who's else fault could it be when it's the same problem with the same model. To be an American and get [XXX] by our own is getting old. If I can get sold [XXX] I can at least get a shovel with it...so I'm getting a damn good shovel/lawyer. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

"Trailer Brake System Service" message continuously displays across the digital cluster menu while I drive.
2 times total electrical and engine failure while driving.
Transmission jerks,surges ahead,clunks when downshifting and is completely unpredictable. Checked transmission fluid and everything is good. This is a serious issue as you never know what’s going to happen
Brake assist issues occured while in the mountains. It was difficult to brake almost causing an accident. It appears to be a bad brake vacuum pump.
After using remote start on 2015 Silverado to start on a cold day 27 degrees F as soon as I put my key in the back window shattered and the window was smoking. Cab was filled with smoke and needed to put the key in to stop the truck.
This 2017 Silverado 2500HD LT L5P is showing limited distance with an error message of "DEF FLUID EMPTY" when it is not. There are no codes for DEF (the only codes are showing glow plugs, NOX1, and the Body Control Module). The truck will permit REGEN but not DEF fluid quality or pressure tests. Pin 14 displays 0v (empty). Five months ago the DEF pump was replaced with a NEW pump.
We were on vacation driving to Florida by the time we arrived 1500 miles later I had no brakes. This happened on a Friday. We called our mechanic in Oklahoma to explain it to him. He had us check a few things to see if it was a number of thing. He said it was the brakes vacuum pump. He had one in the shop for the same thing. You can't get in to a Chevrolet dealer to have it fixed in the time that we had. My husband did fix it but was extremely scared to drive in South Florida with limited to no brakes. My truck only had under 80 thousand miles on it. We live in a rural area so it's not like constant braking.
The transmission in my truck completely failed on a busy road during rush hour. I was in stop and go traffic and after one of my stops the truck wouldn’t move Luckily I was in the right hand lane and about 150 feet from the entrance to a parking lot and a stranger helped me push it to that lot. I had it towed to the dealership I bought it at The recite they gave me says “ transmission pump has failed and burnt clutches”. I have never pulled a trailer and only had 78,000 miles on my truck
Shifting was noticeable with a hesitation. Dealership said it was normal. Developed into a shudder while driving. Shudder came up with transmission code and decreased power. Not driveable. Miles are less than 108k
Bought 4/2023 at 98326 mileage. At 7/23 major issues take place trying to drive. Taken to original dealer where purchased, at 102581. Had to replace the air conditioner and throttle body plus equaling over $3000. I had bought extended warranty at $3384. Now at 139000 miles the transmission is gone!!!
It feels like it is licking into the four wheel drive going down the road with speeds up to 30 miles it feels like it begins to jerk I have heard other owners of this vehicle type are saying a possible recall on the transmission
We were heading on vacation to Florida on the evening of [XXX].While driving [XXX] towards Athens, Alabama we heard a squealing noise from our engine that lasted a minute then it stopped. We got off at the closest exit and realized that we had “No Brakes “. I prayed for our safety. Our truck ran through two stoplights that were red at the time. I downshifted the vehicle and stood on the brakes (hard pedal) and jumped over two concrete curbs before it finally came to a stop. We had it towed to Champion Chevrolet dealership in Athens Alabama. They diagnosed the problem as a brake vacuum pump that locked up and broke the belt too leaving us with no brakes at all. Champion Chevrolet worked us in and replaced the vacuum pump and belt.And got us back on the road for our vacation. We had to pay for a tow truck $100. An overnight stay at a hotel $150. I’m concerned about the tires, rims, alignment and suspension being damaged by jumping over the concrete curbs. I’m requesting a free inspection at a local Chevrolet dealership to thoroughly inspect and repair any damaged parts and a realignment. I also am out of pocket $250 for the tow and hotel room. I feel I’m being fair to ask for reimbursement and repairs. The dealership didn’t charge me for the repairs of the vacuum pump and drive belt as it was covered by a special recall (N182202780). Please direct me for escalation of reimbursement ,complimentary inspection and repair of my 2017 Silverado suspension or damages involved in this incident.

I have a tork converter that locking the transmission and causing the truck to down shift and sometimes comes to a quick stop when braking. I am afraid if a family member drives the truck it could cause them to make a dangerous move in on goin traffic. Or not stopping and hitting a person or another vehicle. It hits hard and stops while pulling the vehicle in on coming traffic especially when not exspecting it all of a sudden.
excessive squealing noise coming from rear brakes from both sides of truck. I am original owner, and truck has less then 15,571 miles on it. Drove it to Chevrolet dealer in Kingsland Ga to evaluate. Before I arrived, about a 15-minute drive the Brake towing warning light came on. I was told by the dealership that both Brake Calipers had to be replaced as well as the brake pads that were damaged due to Brake Calipers locking up. The brake Rotors were fine and needed nothing. Repairs cost me around $1000 dollars. I think this is an unusual event due to the low milage, truck has always been garaged and dealership maintain. It's in brand new condition. Pulling a camper or trailer or even normal driving without towing could potentially cause an incident, fire or wreck. My truck is gasoline not diesel not included in the current safety bulletin. Truck was kept for 2 days for repairs.
When stop and starts going you can feel that gear gets stuck and it takes a sudden jump to the next gear and goes forward.
As I was driving I received a call while my phone was plugged in to the USB charging port and as I answered the call all the gauges on my dash, as well as the radio and all my warning lights shut off and turned back on and calibrated as if I first started the vehicle and reset. Then the radio and things wouldn't work. I had to pull over shut off the truck and restart it. This has happened 2 times already in less than as year I contacted the dealer and they really don't seem to care and keep putting me off or telling me they will call me which never happens. As of writing this still not fixed.

In addition, when driving at low speeds there was a thumping noise emitting from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the transmission needed to be reprogrammed. The vehicle was repaired however the failure persisted. The vehicle was returned to the dealer who reprogrammed and drained the transmission fluid. The dealer informed the contact that when draining the transmission, metal shavings were discovered and that it was common. The failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to a transmission auto body where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be rebuilt. The vehicle was repaired.

Paint is peeling.
To be clear, the vehicle was not in an accident. The check airbag light keeps pinging every few minutes while driving. So I took to the Chevrolet of Watsonvill dealership and said the truck has a faulty passenger door airbag, which raises safety concerns for me. I have a [XXX] son as well as two [XXX] parents that sit in the passenger seat often and would hate for that faulty airbag to either deploy while driving or not deploy when needed. How do I see if this vehicle can be included in a safety recall? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
This is a complaint in regards to the trailer breaking system in my certified pre-owned 2017 Chevy Silverado that I purchased in April of this year, 2024. I purchased this truck in particular for its high ratings in safety and towing capabilities. (April- May 2024) While towing a 22ft trailer from Virginia to Washington state, there were several moments where the “service trailer braking system” alert would appear on the dash. Driving on the interstate for days on end is twice as stressful when you have to wonder if your trailer brakes are reliable. If the trailer brakes were to suddenly stop working it would be dangerous for me and my passengers, as well as those around me on the road. (Sept- Oct 2024) We aren’t towing a trailer anymore, but the “service trailer braking system” light has been going off every couple minutes.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle shuddered and experienced hard downshifting. No warning light was illuminated.

I am filing a complaint regarding an electrical fire in the junction box of my 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500. The issue began when the front passenger side marker light would not turn off. I disconnected the battery overnight to troubleshoot the problem. However, when I reconnected the battery the next morning, an electrical fire occurred in the fuse junction box under the hood. At the same time, the engine unexpectedly attempted to turn over and start on its own. I immediately disconnected the battery again to stop the fire. Upon inspection, I found that several wires, plugs, and the top half of the junction box had sustained significant damage.
Engine shuts down on its own causing steering wheel to jerk and almost locks preventing control. Has been doing this for three weeks and is now getting much worse. Seems to do when making slow speed sharp turn. Almost hit another car in intersection yesterday due to steering control loss. I have seen numerous mentions of this on the internet but seems GM does not have a fix. The truck is now dangerous to drive as it can completely shut down in the middle of an intersection.
My 2017 Chevy Silverado was giving me minor issues about two weeks previously, I was coming on the road and hear like something broken in pieces. I stop at the light and when I was to go forward to continue my with driving the truck was going backwards.. so scary thanks God, I didn't press the acceleration fast I would it have hit the car on back of me . I set emergency lights and call for help.. truck was moved from the road and brought back home. Please look into this safety issue.
The transmission lost every gear but 1st, 2nd. I was driving it down the highway when it lost the gear putting myself, other motor vehicles, and pedestrians safety at risk. The transmissions are known to by others and gm to lose gears or blow and no recall has been issued to rectify the issues. the vehicle was scanned by a trusted local auto motive shop. there were no warning lamps messages or other symptoms prior to the failure. It was going down the road then slipped/sputtered, dropping in to second gear then the checking engine light came on.
Transmission jerks,surges ahead,clunks when downshifting and is completely unpredictable.
I bought my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST used almost 2 years ago. I noticed shortly after buying it that the truck will stall in low gear then lunge forward unexpectedly, it didn't do it all the time just once in a while. Problem is it seems to be happening more frequently and varies in severity. I've asked the local GM dealerships about this issue several times while having it in for service or oil changes. But was told each time that its common with that transmission and nothing to be concerned about, the problem is that I am. I recently started doing research on this and noticed I'm not the only one having these same issues. I'm filing a report as it worries me that a vehicle I'm making payments on is acting this way. I'm also concerned that with the truck in drive and moving, without warning then lunges forward could cause myself or someone else serious injury or worse. This I believe is not the fault of the owner/driver, but GM itself. This problem is not an isolated issue, but one shared by many consumers, me included.
experienced several years of misfire problems , replaced spark plugs twice which seemed to fix the problem short term. while out of my home state(retraining for a new job in the Airforce) the misfire became significantly worse and made the truck undrivable. brought the truck to a local mechanic and they told me that I had bad misfires on the AFM/DOD cylinders and need to replace them all. chevy confirmed the diagnosis also stated there not going to offer coverage for this know issue. this know failure has costed me 15k in total costs when GM has know about this for years and could have fixed it before costing me so much money . I've also received no help from the chevy dealership or corporate regarding this know problem and I've been told its going to be an out of pocket repair and there's noting they will dop to help.

Recently had to have the transmission replaced on my truck. I was driving on an on-ramp onto a highway and my transmission would not change gears once reaching 50mph, where the speed limit was 70mph, causing me to almost be rear-ended. This was without warning, no lights came on and no other conditions were noticed prior to this event. I pulled off the highway and the transmission was making hard shuddering noises. I had a dealership look it over and they determined I needed a full transmission replacement. Upon researching online, this appears to be a common problem for this vehicle.
Misfiring - technician told me I have to delete the AFM and replace all lifters. $10k+ repair that I can not afford
My vehicle radio goes crazy, but oddly the speedometer goes away as well. I was able to get it back by turning radio off completely, but this should be a recall issue. Please help.
My 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3l V8 has a common transmission failure. The torque converter started malfunctioning under 100,000 miles. I kept a good maintenance and was not expecting a transmission rebuilt. The truck almost cause an accident due to loss of acceleration and gears at the freeway speeds of 70mph.

I am fully aware of of GM’s Hydra-Matic 8L90 transmission or Hydra-Matic 8L45 transmission on the 2015-2019 models. My wife was driving with our kids on the highway yesterday and the trucks immediate shaking, increased high RPMs, slow acceleration and violent downshifting. Scared them very much on the highway while going at the normal speeds of 65mph trying weave through traffic and make it back home on top of that. With zero warning and this having happened on my first 2011 Chevy Silverado as well. I know full well there are more class action lawsuits against GM. Them being allowed to get away with this consistent problem and not owning up to their failed products is unacceptable.
Radio randomly turns volume to maximum level and doesn’t allow you to reduce it. I can only fix it by turning truck off then on again.
Brakes failed. The brake assist pump disintegrated, sending metal fragments into the Motor's oil circulation system. I was able to stop the truck using both feet and applying extreme force to the pedal. The dealer identified the problem. The "Brake Assist" warning light came on during the episode.

What happens is my "ABS light" comes on and when I pull into the driveway... the truck shuts everything off. Locks the wheel!!! Lights off!! It's deadly seriously!!! Stabilitrak stops the truck from moving!!! This needs fixed bad!
We Bought a Chevy Silverado 1500 truck used in Nov 2021for purpose of towing RV trailer. In having axel bearings packed on trailer March [XXX], 2024, the RV mechanic noticed no wear or brake dust. He checked and determined RV brakes had never engaged and found no power to the RV brakes in the plug in port on back of truck. Took to dealer, Chesrown in Delaware Ohio, on [XXX], 2024. After having truck all day they said issue was brake modulator which they reprogrammed. We hooked up RV trailer and brakes still do not work. Hand brake controller on dash will engage the trailer brakes , but not the foot brake. In researching online, there is a great deal of discussion about GM knowing about and not addressing the issue. There’s a known defect in a wiring harness between two of the body control modules. This part is known for broken wires and for connective issues. We reached out to GM Customer service at 800-222-1020, who took our information and said they would contact the dealer. We took truck in today and explained again what the issue was and what we had learned from our research. There are currently several recalls on 2022 and 2023 Silverados for the same trailer brake issues. GM needs to take responsibility for this critical service issue!! We CAN NOT tow a RV trailer WITHOUT BRAKES! When we asked the service manager why the tow package was not part of the inspection process when they took the vehicle in and placed it for sale as a used vehicle, he said they don’t do that. Seems to us, that when a dealer sells a vehicle, all parts should be in working order. Especially with a factory installed tow package. PLEASE research and contact GM and have them issue a RECALL on ALL of their vehicles with factory tow packages to ensure the safety of all of those driving them! You will find numerous forums online where the biggest complaint is the trailer brake system not working and people very frustrated with the lack of response from not only GM but the dealers.

While turning vehicle at slow speeds the trailer warning,no trailer on vehicle, stability control hill assist radio and steering stop working as well as vehicle will stall out. Depending on when it happens it may stall while turning into traffic. I have searched the issue and found there is a ground problem under dash near windshield. It has happened multiple times like 15 as of this date.
At 83,000 miles the transmission failed. We bought this car from a Chevy dealership with 35k miles in November of 2021. We have performed all required maintenance. If GM knows there is a transmission issue with these trucks why won’t they help their customers? It’s a 7k bill on a truck with many more payments and that has less than 100k miles.
When driving the truck it has a continus pull to the right side
The radio/ my link is way to bright and there is no option to dim it. This makes an eye distraction and hard to see the road at night. there are many post about this concern online.
Stabilitrak notification came on and truck shut off. Took vehicle to O’Reillys to see what was wrong. Test machine was not picking anything up. There was no issue But the truck shut off while on the highway and i called my insurance
Transition failed
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated when the vehicle was started, there was a grinding noise coming from the engine and transmission area. The contact stated when driving the vehicle there was a hard shift when shifting gears. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic who performed a diagnostic stating the transmission failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 89,900.
There was an electrical burning smell in the cabin of the truck and then the radio stopped working. I called the dealership who confirmed that they had issues with previous models and newer models as well but said my 2017 silverado lt was not included in the fix. I took it in and asked them to see if there were any error codes and I was told no error codes everything was clear. There were no warnings no lights nothing just the burning smell. I spoke with another gentleman who has a 2018 silverado lt and said his radio goes on and off and the screen is unresponsive. Yes the vehicle is available upon inspection. My truck could have possibly caught fire due to this especially with the electrical burning smell. This all happened while the truck was off in my driveway
Stalling with no power transmission is putting me at risk since I first purchased this vehicle. Transmission needs to be replaced because of the defective drive shaft on all 2017 models . Really serious problem with a hard shift and multiple misfire. Just not sure what to do at this point. I’m still paying for a truck that’s not working.
Transmission failed. As I was pulling a horse trailer the transmission went out of gear and left me on a curve in the roadway. No warring lights or any other kind of warning was given. I did take it to a dealer to have it checked out and was advised I would need a new transmission. The cost would be $7,000. I do not have the funds, therefore my truck is not drivable and is parked. I have learned this is a known problem with this transmission and GM is not doing anything about it. The very least they could do is pay for half of the repair cost.
In reverse my brakes dont work, its like they are grinding, ive changed the rear brakes hoping to fix the issue, i have no codes. It has almost made me wreck due to failure to stop with my kids in the truck, also the afm system is defective in order to keep my engine as safe as possible i had to put a afm deactivate plug into the obd port. Ive tried to figure out the brakes but no one can explain. Spending 34 thousand dollars i expect to have my vehicle safe for my children. I have been strictly chevy my whole life but this is unacceptable. Where we live in alaska id expect the vehicle to be in order and it does it mainly at steep hills and it hasnt done it when ive had people look at it.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, her husband swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle and simultaneously depressed the brake pedal, but the vehicle failed to respond as needed. The contact's husband pulled to the side of the road and inspected the vehicle.

The contact contacted Joe Bullard Chevrolet (2900 Government Blvd, Mobile, AL 36606) and Terry Thompson Chevrolet, INC. (1402 US-98 E, Daphne, AL 36526), who informed the contact that they could not assist because the first dealer was contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000. Parts distribution disconnect.
I had our pick up inspected today and the mechanic asked about our brakes being hard to push. I explained It has been that way for some time. He informed me that GM had a recall for this safety issue but as of this moment it doesn’t cover our specific pick up. The recall reference number is: 19V645000. GMS number for the recall is N192268490. I called and filed a complaint with Chevy complaint #[XXX]. Any assistance with this safety issue would be greatly appreciated.

6L80 TRANS SHUDDERS AND SLIPS
Torque Converter
Transmission (6L80) torque converter failed at 76k miles. The transmission has never shifted well but was told that’s how they shift. Vehicle is not used for towing. And all scheduled maintenance was followed. While driving down the road the transmission suddenly started shuttering and jerking. Luckily, I was able to make it to a transmission shop who confirmed the torque converter was shot. Called Chevy dealer and the service rep advised that there is a reason they have 30 of those transmissions on the shelf right now, it’s a known issue. Unfortunately, it’s outside the warranty. Transmission has already been replaced with a remanufactured 6L80. 500 miles after the new transmission installed, the torque converter went out again. Another 6L80 is scheduled to be put in. This transmission is unreliable and went out while driving down the highway. No warning lights ever came on to indicate any issues.
Rear window drefroster began smoking. Pulled over and exited truck noticed defroster was glowing red. Window then shattered. This is a power slide window. Drivers side.
While driving, I heard a loud "pop". When I arrived at work, I saw that the rear windshield, on the passenger side, was shattered.
Torque converter clutch system stuck in “off”; and won’t engage when commanded by system…this is apparently a known and common issue. Causing gears to not engage properly and a safety hazard when driving on freeway and higher speeds.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the braking effort was increased while depressing the brake pedal, causing the braking distance to be extended.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was 38,000.
Failure of integrated wiring harness for trailer brake control. Wires broken, corroded and with brittle and cracked insulation causing trailer brakes to not engage thus creating a dangerous and possibly deadly condition for driver and others on the road.
I went to my truck after an 8 hour shift at work, simply opened my door got into my truck and when I shut the door, my back window literally exploded into a thousand pieces. I am in no way joking at all, I shut my door and the back window busted into thousands of pieces. I was and still am shocked.
The power sliding rear window circuit heated up so much that it produced smoke and shattered the rear window.
Complete loss of electrical system power and engine power, vehicle stalls and Coast to a stop. This has happened seven different times in the last 4000 miles driven. Possibly due to faulty ground connection electric power steering system and or stabilitrak I don't know but it is very dangerous. And there has been many other people experiencing this on Silverado Facebook groups.
AC condenser leak, no cold air blowing. Only 82,539 miles. I took my truck to Chevy and was told about the issue and the cost amount to replace. I asked if that’s under warranty or recall. Chevy dealer told me no. Because there haven’t been too many complaints about it, so it’s not yet a recall. Then the service person then proceed to tell me the repair cost amount which was around $1100. And I was also told that Chevy now has a better AC condenser part to replace the defective ones. This obviously upsets me because this truck has been nothing but problems for me. I took my truck to a mechanic shop and had the AC condenser replaced for way less than what Smith Chevrolet of Turlock CA quoted me on cost. My mechanic showed me the defective part and where it’s leaking at. The AC condenser is built poorly. Plastic parts attached to the side of the condenser cracks easily as I was told, causing it to leak freon.
Radiator leak, coolant fully drained out, truck overheated. Approximately 86,000 + miles. I recently replaced the AC condenser back in [XXX]. Which I submitted a complaint form also. Reference below. Request #[XXX] Complaint number [XXX] Then in [XXX] I had the radiator replaced. This was due to a leak that caused all coolant to drain. The engine overheated because of the radiator leak. I was on the freeway when this happened. I ended up taking my truck to be inspected at a mechanic shop. I was then showed the issue of the leak. The radiator is poorly designed and is a similar issue to the AC condenser I had just replaced. The sides of the radiator is made of plastic which cracks or warp causing it to leak. I took pictures of the defective radiator after it was taken out. I decided not to go to a Chevy dealership, simply because of the higher cost.

Vehicle only has 86,000 miles. Brake vacuum pump issue has failed and almost caused an accident or even death. I took my tuck at an easy trail in Big Sur CA. Brakes wasn’t working properly. I feared it would completely fail and cause us to fall off the cliff. Fortunately we got off that trail, but as we continued to drive on highway 1 the brakes would not stop the vehicle as it should. The truck would still move forward or even in reverse with the brakes pressed down. Brake pedal was hard to press and would get stuck. There were no warning lamps on to alert me. This issue has been going on for about a year and has finally given out. The vehicle has been inspected and brake vacuum pump replaced by Smith Chevrolet in Turlock CA. I was told by the service person that Chevy has a 150,000 mile warranty on the brake vacuum pump part only so mine was covered. After inspection I was told that the brake vacuum pump had no fluids at all. Vacuum pump is defective.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was 67,611.
The rear window with power slider blew out when I shut my truck door. I read online that there is a recall for many other models similar to my vehicle but for some reason mine wasn't included. The window itself is over a thousand dollars just for the part; I'd appreciate some help in getting this to include my vehicle as well because it is directly inline with recalls for very similar models. Thank you, [XXX] - I can supply pictures if requested. I don't have them available to upload them now. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 5.3 litre V8 1. Low speed brake failure. Problem seems more prevalent while vehichle is in reverse. 2. Had to use emergency brake to stop the vehicle. 3. Not yet but research show safety recall for 2014-2018 vehicles. When I searched on my VIN it did not show up and I never received any recall notice. 4. No 5.

2017 Silverado with 6L80, 59k miles - transmission failure due to TCC failure. Rough shifting, coming out of gear, shuttering when accelerating. Truck started to whine loudly when it was promptly taken to the dealership. Dealership dropped the pan and used magnet. Visible metal was in the transmission pan. There were no indicator lights on the dash from this issue. Requested goodwill warranty, gm replied they would cover 20% or $7k so I am stuck to pay $5k for a known issue. The replacement transmission is not new that they are offering, it is "certified refurbished" where they use the old casing with new internals. They are providing a 3yr/100k miles warranty on the new transmission. Deciding factors from GM were age, miles, service at dealership. Incredibly unsatisfied that GM is standing behind their vehicles not lasting 60k miles.
While driving on the interstate the truck started jerking and vibrating, started slowing down, while in the fast lane, then a loud whining sound started, finally making over 3 lanes of traffic doing approximately 40mph got stopped on the shoulder. No warning lights or anything came on. Sat there not knowing what happened so I proceeded onto the freeway and it started lunging & squealing again, got off the next exit to find out it was probably the torque converter or transmission, so here I sit in Virginia & I live in Arizona stranded. And trying to figure out how to pay a $6000 to $8000 repair bill and to find out this is a common problem with GM transmissions
Before leaving the house, it sounded like a static noise was coming from the speakers. I turned the radio off and the noise was still there. I get out of the truck to check the back seat area (where the noise was coming from). I put my ear near the window and it almost sounded like a can of something was being sprayed. It was weird, because nothing was in the back of the cab. Anyway, I thought "that's weird" and drove off, not giving it much thought. As I was walking to the truck at Sam's Club, I hit the automatic start. While loading the groceries in the truck, the noise now sounded like a sizzling, snapping sound. Then, I noticed few snowflakes landing near the back window were causing that sound. Again, I thought "that is so weird"!! I put the cart back, got in the truck and started it. At that point, it smelled like something was burning. I jumped out and opened the back door to get a closer look. While trying to figure out what was going on, smoke started coming up from both sides of the back windshield. I ran to the front to take the keys out of the ignition and then the window exploded!! I was so scared to start the truck again, wondering what else was about to happen. Thankfully, I was able to get it home with no other issues. It's now at the dealership getting looked at. They mentioned no recalls, but a quick google search shows that this is clearly an issue!! In 2019, Canada actually recalled over 159,000 vehicles over the high potential of catching on fire!!! After learning this, I'm so happy it didn't actually catch on fire!!
Engine has always “ticked” since new took it multiple times to dealer they said it’s normal. Took it to shop they say its pushrods. Brakes front they wear unevenly even after being replaced by shop it always feels like truck is braking feels like it takes extra effort on gas pedal Transmission its a 6L80 only 85,000 miles and already there is metal shavings in pan and transmission is shifting hard and slipping.

Not exactly sure of the root cause but the glass shop said it appeared that the rear defrosting element on my 2017 Chevy Silverado shorted out, became extremely hot and caused my rear window to shatter. Some documents that I read stated that the electrical connections could corrode over time and short out. I read that Canada does have a recall for this same problem.
Two times now when driving, vehicle has randomly lost all power. First time there was no warning of any sort of problem. Second time was on the express way running just fine, then all of a sudden engine light started flashing, and stabilatrac light up on dash. was able to get off right away. turned right Into a office complex and shut right off. after 3 minutes got power back and was able to get it safely in a parking spot, but then it started running rough, like multiple cylinder miss fire

There is a specific serpentine belt that controls the AC and the water pump on this vehicle. That particular belt is 100% obsolete. The manufacturer has discontinued that part and since it is a stretch belt, it cannot be replicated by Gates or Continental until they get their hands on an unused and uninstalled belt. This has caused us to no longer be able to operate the vehicle and now we are upside down thousands of dollars because the vehicle is now a total loss and insurance wont cover it.
Rear window defrost almost caught fire about 10 min into drive smoke emitted from near rear window and got worse and worse until I found the cause and shut off the rear defrost. Smokey electrical smell filled the interior.

1: BRAKES CONCERNS: I feel unsafe driving my truck. Brake pedals gets stuck, seems like a brake vacuum pump issue. Vehicle keeps slowly rolling forward or backwards even when brakes are applied. Even worse when on an inclined road, the truck will not brake properly as it should. It is very dangerous to my safety and others. It comes and goes, but it seems to be getting worse now. I have made an appointment to Chevy so that they can inspect it. But I am sure they wont help me since my truck is slightly over the manufacturers warranty. As always I know they will try to sell me an extended warranty. I fear this issue will get me in an accident. I have also looked online and have read a few articles about 2017 Chevy Silverado owners who are having the same issue.

The Stabilitrak system is malfunctioning on my vehicle. It does it intermittently but can be available for inspection. When the stabilitrak system malfunctions, the vehicle will either shut down completely while driving, violently jerk the wheel to one side, or it shorts out the system for brief seconds while driving. Once the system malfunctions the "Stabilitrack" warning light comes on as well as the check engine light and traction control light. I have had the truck looked at on more than one occasion. The dealership I purchased it from first said they couldn't find anything wrong with the vehicle, but after showing them the video they came down to a bad power steering control module. I am having a second mechanic look at it to see if there is another solution. I have been reading this is a common problem on these vehicles and it is caused by a bad ground under the dash.

while attempting to accelerate or decelerate we feel a hesitation and harsh shift. also along with the harsh shifting there is a shudder at speeds from around 50-72 miles per hour. yes it is available for inspection. it was a bit nerve racking not knowing if we should be driving or not, we bought the vehicle with 59,000 miles on it and felt some jerky shifting but didn't think anything about it because it was a chevy and that is all we drive, but now with the shudder we are concerned. we were on a road trip yesterday to help our niece move and she lives 3.5 hours away and we noticed the shudder again, ( we just had it in the shop for new tires, rims and balance thinking it was the tires and rims and alignment ) we were nervous to drive it back home, more severe shudder like driving on rumble strips and the steering wheel would even shake. no warning lamps or messages.
The problem started about 3 days ago I was driving to work and I was coming to a stop at a red light then it said “trailer brake system” and then it completely shut my truck off and my brakes were really hard and my steering wheel was stiff then another day it did the same thing and after it was telling me all my blinker were about to go out.
8/10/2023 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 had a collision with a deer on driver side front bumper and grille near Piedmont KS in the country. Airbags did NOT deploy although the airbag light DID come on at time of incident. On-Start contacted husband, driver, to make sure he was ok since it was a front end collision. Truck is currently at Gerber Auto Collision 10760 W Kellogg Wichita KS being repaired. Truck was due to be returned to us by 8/21/2023. As of this morning, the date was updated to be 8/21 to 8/25. I called them on it and they said they were having "someone" check the airbags since the light was on but it did not deploy.
18V586. GM's own number for this recall is 18289. These are for the 2015 Silverado’s . The 2017 Silverado 1500 are doing the same thing as the recall from above describes . My wife had almost accidents cause of this . I almost had an accident today as well getting off the freeway . I know a lot of people are having these problems as well . Gm needs to own up to this mistake they did with these trucks . They should be held responsible for this defect on this truck .
I have replaced my transmission about 8 months ago…$5200 and 15k miles later the transmission shudder is back. This is a safety issue because of transmission failure in traffic. There needs to be accountability from GM to fix this ongoing problem.

Displayed on the dashboard engine loss of power with check engine light on. Took to the dealer to repair and got quoted a spark plug change when the issue is clearly something else.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 45 MPH, several unknown warning lights illuminated, and the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted on the third attempt. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the oil pump needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 147,466.
The engine lifter failed. The lifters collapsed on the highway. The inspection is available upon request. My husband was the driving on the highway and heard a tapping noise. All the engine lights came on and he pulled off to side of highway and was instructed not do drive the vehicle. The vehicle needed to be towed and was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and confirmed if was the lifters which needed to be replaced. There were no warning signs, no lamps, no lights prior to the failure to alert something was wrong. After paying for the repairs at the dealer in the amount of 5,441.18 and other expenses, we reached out to Chevrolet Customer Assistance asking for them to cover the cost of this repair. We did not have time to get an extended warranty since this vehicle is new. With a vehicle having 56,000 miles on it, it should not be having engine problems. Our argument and frustration is GM knew of this problem on this particular vehicle and did not request a recall and this model. They refused to give us a full refund and gave us 2,720.29. We appreciate the assistance, but after doing research on this problem, this is a common concern and many customers have had to have their lifters replaced. GM knows of this issue and did nothing to correct their mistake. I have never experienced engine problems on any of the vehicles I have owned for over 10 to 15years old.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the engine. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled, and the gear shifter became inoperable. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with transmission failure. The contact was informed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 92,564.
Lifter failure in cylinder 1. It is a known issue 8 speed transmission shutter and hard shifts.
Trailer assist alarm keeps coming on intermittently. Then the brakes are very difficult to press. Almost feels like the brakes need to be bled. It only happens intermittently as well. It is very dangerous while driving as I cannot safely stop at red lights.
The trailer brakes light keeps coming on for no reason at all times
Vehicle exhibited a loud bang from the engine compartment followed by a ticking noise from the engine and loss of power while highway driving in a remote rural area. Check engine light did illuminate. Vehicle was subsequently towed and issue was diagnosed by an independent repair shop as a failure of an active fuel management valve lifter and was repaired. Approximately 10,000 miles later while also at speed on a congested highway the vehicle experienced a second failure 12 July 2023. No dash lights nor warning indicators were illuminated, though problem was indicated by severe loss of power and very rough idle. Issue was diagnosed by dealership as failure of #4 and #6 cylinder AFM lifters....which were replaced new following the first failure in summer 2022.
Dear NHTSA, The truck has lost electrical power several times over the past few months but only 3 times while driving. Today it completely shutdown while making a right hand turn at a busy intersection causing the loss of power steering and braking while narrowly missing a car waiting for the traffic light It took both hands to turn the wheel and both feet to push the brake pedal enough to stop on the shoulder. Prior to this latest incident I removed the engine compartment splash pan, checked the starter and ground connections and all seemed well. I then unplugged, cleaned and reconnected all electrical connections in the engine compartment and fuse box. The complete shutting down of a vehicle and its electric system while driving is a very dangerous matter. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The transmission locked up while driving such that we came to a stop in traffic with our newborn and toddler in the back seat and were required to call 9-1-1 because the vehicle was stuck in a gear and would not move while we were in the middle of a road in traffic. The problem has been confirmed by a dealer that the transmission blew due to metal getting into the transmission from failure of transmission pan. There was minimal warning before it happened. Approx. 8 months prior we had taken it in to dealer because the RPMs were running high and and we’re told it was the 4 wheel drive causing it and approx. 2 weeks prior to this incident we heard grinding.
Brakes do not work properly in low speed applications such as in parking garages or pulling out of the driveway. There is a jerking issue and the brake pedal almost goes all the way to the floor in those instances.
Service Power Steering message comes on and off at random time. Almost got into a accident a couple of times. One example is I was getting off the freeway and the exit made a U shape turn. The Power Steering message came on and I lost power steering and it became so hard to steer. The wheel almost jerked out of my hand and almost went straight into the wall had to use my whole body to turn the steering wheel. Checked grounds and connections all that seem good also checked for codes and there were no active codes
While turning steering wheelat low speeds. The steering wheel will jerk out of your hand and lose power. All the electrical power on the dash will go out for a few seconds and return the steering will return. Also, this is happening over three times in the past week and almost causing me to crash into other parts cars. There is a recall for other vehicles in the 2015 model with the same problem, Campaign #18289
While starting from a park position, I was pulling into a parking space. I went to apply the brake and the brake pedal went to the floor where the vehicle did not stop immediately. This is happened three times. This occurred twice with me and once with my wife driving. This seems sporadic and happens at low speeds in my parking areas or something like that.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 10 MPH, the message "Services Power Steering Assist - Drive with Care" was displayed and the steering wheel became firm. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the torque input sensor needed to be replaced in the rack pinion, and that the power steering assist needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 14,450.
After a full service of the truck in July 2022 with approximately 90,000 miles (including oil change, tire rotation, transfer case fluid exchange, front and rear differential service, coolant system flush and refill, front and rear brake pads and resurface of rotors, and transmission fluid flush and refill), the truck began jerking and stuttering (like rolling over rumble strips) in October 2022. In February 2023, the truck was taken back to dealer service department for an oil change and inspection of the jerking/stuttering issue, the service department replaced the spark plugs, inspected the wires and connectors, and performed a throttle body service with the expectation that this would fix the jerking/stuttering issue. It did not. In May 2023, the truck was diagnosed with a transmission issue by an independent service center and confirmed by the dealer service department. From the start of the issue in October 2022 until diagnosis of the transmission issue, no warning lamps or messages ever appeared. The dealer service department stated that the torque converter is bad and that it would be best to replace the full transmission. The truck is still drivable, but the dealer service department suggested that it should not be driven as the transmission could fail completely at any time. At this time, safety is of utmost concern and the truck will not be driven until fixed as we do not want to put ourselves, our passengers, other drivers, and pedestrians in an unsafe situation if the transmission fails.
Truck began to shift hard, check engine light came on, took to a mechanic and was told it needs a new transmission. Current Mileage 90k
Yesterday while parked I put on my seatbelt and it broke off at the cable where it comes out of the seat by the door.
When driving the airbag goes on the light goes off when turning off the vehicle but as soon as you start driving the airbag light goes on
Brake pedal becomes hard/stiff to apply at low speed. Normally happens after driving at highway speeds.
Brake assist light comes on at slow speeds and makes braking really hard and truck feels like it’s not going to stop
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the transmission was slipping, and the engine revved loudly with a high RPM while idling. Additionally, the vehicle was jerking while driving. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to file a complaint with the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.
while driving my son saw smoke coming from the rear window defogger, I pulled over and saw melted pieces of plastic, I contacted my dealer when I saw a recall online, my dealer said even though your vehicle is the same year and model and the exact same condition occurred, your vehicle is not listed under the recall. I don't understand why this vehicle is not under the recall when the exact condition occurred. GM was unable to assist with and complete the repair under the recall
2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 6-speed 6L80 had a torque converter failure and the transmission had metal debris. The vehicle would jerk or hard shift on acceleration while on the highway. When stopped at a light the truck RPMs would increase and then hesitate, jerk, and then move. This started as being barely noticeable and within a couple of weeks became extremely dangerous. I was on my way to the dealer for inspection when at a light and the RMPs went up it hesitated, jerked, and then moved, jerked again, then stopped. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer before purchase in Nov 2022 and this took place in April 2023. The vehicle was towed to GM service center/dealer who said the torque converter and transmission were issued and needed to be replaced. I moved it to another transmission shop to have the work done. No warning lights. From the time the light jerks/rough shifts randomly happened to the time the hard jerks/hard shifts happened almost causing an accident only a couple of times once in Dec 2022 and then it ran fine. On 4/22/23 I felt it again and headed towards the GM when it happened harshly and I didn't make it due to the RMP reve, hard jerk, and then nothing. I was lucky that this time I was in town and not on a highway.
While driving down the highway in a torrential rain the wipers just stopped working. They were cutting on and off and now do not work at all. The problem appears to be in the engine compartment fuse block which is not servicable. It is currently not fixed and could be inspected. We could not see 50 feet in front of us and were blindly following the car in front of us. It hasent been to the dealer yet as the truck is out of warrenty and it would not be covered. This came without any warning lamps or messages.
My 2017 Chevy Silverado has four General Tires 285/45 R22 114 H installed. DOT HW6T HMW1 on all four tires. We had driven to Ohio from NY over the weekend and on the return trip (about 900 miles into the trip) the air pressure light came on and I noticed the Rear Driver side tire had 23 lbs of air. The leak was slow enough that I was able to drive 2 miles to a exit and stop at a gas station. When I got out I could hear the air leaking from the tire but could not see any visible issue yet. After jacking up the truck and removing the tire that's when I notice the tread was completely splitting away from the tire. See pictures. The tread had split about 3/4 of the way around the tire. Although this tire is not on the list for the recall 21T001000 the defect description matches.
Transmission is shifting hard, losing/using all transmission fluid with in a week. Transmission sometimes hesitates to shift. No warning lights come on. Spoken to a mechanic who has same year model 1500 he also has the same problem.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would hesitate and jerk upon depression of the accelerator pedal, with the check engine warning light illuminated. Recently, the contact stated that the vehicle failed to accelerate above 30 MPH. The vehicle was taken to a dealer to be diagnosed. The dealer confirmed that the transmission was damaged and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 116,000. The VIN was not available.
Bad airbag sensor. Transmission wet out with 144000 miles
My transmission had to be replaced. It has always lunged, jerked, shake and make several unnatural noises. It would clunk into gear or not go in the proper gear. Several times it would not down shift and pushed me into the intersection either at a stop sign or red light. It felt as if I was hit from behind. One day it wouldn't go forward or reverse. It started working later and I took it to a dealership. There were no warning lights on so no codes were displayed. Suggested driving it as maybe it was just a glitch. The next day it wouldn't go over 40 mph and check engine light came on. I took it back to dealership. After they saw the codes, a mechanic looked at it and said there was metal in the transmission fluid and it smelled burnt. They said it needed a new transmission. I took it to a transmission shop and they confirmed it needed replaced. I had this done and it was over $5000. Transmission shop said they do 2-3 transmissions for Silverado a week, especially 2016 and 2017.
While turning a corner at a reduced speed the Power Steering went out and I couldn’t turn the wheel to the right. I almost ran into a car pulling out of the street I was turning into. a few seconds later the Power Steering came back on.
I have had numerous repairs to electrical components in the truck. Most recently I have been getting the same wiring harness repaired on and off for almost 5 months now along with various modules that it damages. The dealer makes the repair and then after anywhere from 100 to 1000+ miles later the check engine light will come back on or another error message like Service Trailer Braking System. Wires keep breaking in the harness and the dealer keep repairing them. The dealer has been very good about this. This last time they repaired a broken wire and 2 more broke during the repair and had to be spliced. There is obviously a defect in this wiring harness. I have been in contact with GM but the truck is out of warranty and they do not seem willing to help out much. They suggested I trade it in, I just paid it off less than a year ago, and have put thousands of dollars in repair and maintenance into it since then.
Rear defrost/sliding window began to smoke. Eventually, rear window exploded and shattered with a very loud noise. The noise was so loud it had my ears ringing and unfortunately happened also while I was driving down the road which cased me to swerve abruptly. Fortunately, I was able to steady myself and pull of the road. Prior to the explosion, there was smoke coming from the window that was continuing to intensify in my rear view window as I was driving. I pulled over into a cemetary quickly and noticed the rear defrost button was lit. I quickly depressed it to kill the electrical current to see if it would stop the smoking from the window. It did then disapate. I took off driving again presuming I stopped the issue. Within seconds the right side glass panel in the rear window exploded. The vehicle or component has not been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center yet. The vehicle has not yet been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance reps., as of yet but it will be shortly.
Service stability track light come on and off check engine light does not come on so you can’t pull the code to see what’s wrong cause the vehicle to cut off while driving upon looking this problem up a lot of people are having this problem the dealership told me it’s no way to pin point the problem unless the check engine light come on it’s very unsafe cause this makes the cars cut on and off while driving
Was driving down the road at 65 and the truck shut down completely and had control of steering that time. Put truck in neutral and it restarted. Then was in a gas station getting gas then went to pull out after filling up and the wheels jerked and almost broke my wrist the instrument cluster said stibilatrac and shut down. Went to restart then the instrument panel said lower driver window then close . It did this one more time in the gas station parking lot.
Is available upon request. Transmission chugging, quite often. Pulsing after turning a corner trying to resume speed. Difficulty shifting when cold. Noticed this happening occasionally, but this problem is definitely getting worse, happening daily. I only have 27,000 miles on this truck. I stopped by the dealership and was told to change the transmission fluid myself since the warranty was up. Very disappointed.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V761000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulics, Service Brakes, Electronic Stability Control). The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to reduce speed and stop immediately, which caused the contact to rear-end another vehicle. The contact sustained injuries and received medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow shop. The vehicle has not been deemed totaled. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
I drive a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500 lt 5.3 V8 Pickup. I currently have 86k miles on this vehicle. I am the second owner and lately have been experiencing loss of power, engine hesitation, poor fuel economy, and high oil consumption. I brought my truck to the dealer I purchased it from ( Koons Chevrolet of Tysons Corner VIRGINIA ) I brought the vehicle in for service because back in February I had the check engine light flash and the truck engine almost cutout (whilst traveling at high speeds )completely. This past week I was merging onto a highway and upon pressing the pedal to increase speed to merge safely the engine lost power completely for about 5 seconds and then magically regained power. During this i was almost side swiped and forced to drive on the shoulder almost crashing into the barrier wall. I had the info screen on my dashboard and was able to trace when this issue occurred. Upon switching from V4-V8 mode. Further research with a mechanic friend of mine revealed that Chevrolet has been using the same failing lifters since 2014 and it was a known issue, yet never recalled. How can I go about either fixing this issue or recuperating the sales price I paid for this faulty vehicle? I dont think it's right that the American tax payers bailed out general motors only for them to cut cost by way of reducing the quality of vehicles they were making... absolutely egregious. Please help. Sincerely, Unhappy Taxpayer
Rear defrost malfunctioned causing rear window to blow out smoke filled cab plastic started to melt I am in possession of vehicle it available for inspection in driveway at time buy sounded like a 22 going off behind my head had it at Brunswick auto mart for a week and told they can’t do anything dash had no indications at that time or after
Hello so i have a 2017 silverado 1500 And i was driving on the highway a 70 miles by hour with my enclosed trailer and the steering wheel start getting hard and I slow down and tried to get out the highway so when I tried to turn to my right the steering wheel make a clicked couple time like getting locked, so was hard and scary because i can't turned it This is the 3rd time that happens to me !!
Rear window defroster caused back glass to explode. Vehicles was remote started before driving even though in settings auto rear defrost was turned off the rear defrosters were turned on automatically after driving for approximately 10 mins and while stopped at a red light i heard a loud bang and looked back to see a little but of smoke and one half of the powered rear sliding window with defrost had complete shattered, immediately i looked down to find the rear defrost turned on and then turned it off. I have heard of a customer satisfaction bulletin and a recall in Canada for this issue. This is a huge safety concern as when it blows it is loud and could cause someone that is driving to get panicked and swerve as well as potential for fire. This absolutely needs to be a recall for US vehicles as well
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the steering wheel seized while making a turn with an unknown warning light illuminated. Additionally, the vehicle lost motive power while driving. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 39,000.
In slow driving the braking system is requires significant effort and requires increased distance to stop. service braking system message comes across the dash and goes away after a restart of the vehicle. GM has a recall for this issue but will not perform the programming required a second time despite it being a known manufactures defect.
The truck at low speeds, In parking lots the brake pedal gets stiff. Only when i hit the gas the brake assist engages. Brake pedal gets super stiff almost as if it doesnt want to brake. In reverse its worse I am aware there is a recall for this But not pertaining to my vehicles vin number
One random morning engine made funny noises. By time I left work engine light flashing and stability control wouldn’t turn off. Dropped it off to dealership told me it’s 4500 to fix one lifter that failed 7500 to fix all. They know it a problem that GM issues letter on what they recommend to fix, but no recall. My truck warranty expired on 10/2022 and incident happened on 01/2023 my truck had 32987 miles when dropped off after repair 32997 miles. If issue is know and class action in place why hasn’t GM issued a recall.
I believe the General Motors Video Display Module Digitizer has a design flaw that affects vehicle safety. This is the appliance in the center of the dashboard to the right side of the driver controlling audio and clock operations. It is a large touch screen. Also, the instrument cluster located over the steering wheel is affected. This is the digital display that reports vehicle velocity, tire pressure, gas mileage. What are the symptoms? During vehicle operation, the video display to the driver's side will randomly cycle through alternate operations not requested by the user. For example, while listening to radio station "A", the unit will switch to radio station "B". Then, the clock will be displayed in "full screen mode". Then, the unit initiates phone calls to people from my contacts list on my phone. In addition, the display unit over the steering wheel is connected to the side unit and will randomly change display. Each time these units change operation, the system emits an audible beep. All this is distracting and increases the workload of the driver (talking on the phone while driving trying to explain that you didn't mean to call the person), thus representing a safety hazard while driving. While the misbehavior comes and goes, at its worst, the unit will change operation a few times per minute. I made a video of the misbehavior, which I can share with you upon request. The behavior is reproducible. Why do I say this is a design flaw requiring NHTSA safety recall? The unit is relatively new but past its warranty period: the vehicle has 57,000 miles. And multiple vehicle owners are affected: see web sites containing reports from other owners reporting the same problem with their relatively new vehicles: https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/252750-touch-screen-has-a-mind-of-its-own/ https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255203-touch-screen-problems/ GM charges $900 to install a new unit, but I believe the problem is a design flaw and will occur again.
I was traveling approximately 20MPH on a side street that was snow covered when I came to an uncontrolled intersection where there was another vehicle approaching from my right and when I began to break the abs stabilitrak lights came on and my vehicle began to slide all over the roadway.ABS light Stabilitrak and Service trailer brakes come on causing the vehicle to slide on icy roadways. Bought the car brand new and has 45k miles. The diagnostic pulls up right rear speed sensor, so I replaced it and it still comes on with warning lights and sounds. I’ve tried to find more information on the internet and it seems a lot of people have had the same issues for many years with this problem
Bake pedal get's really hard to press at low speed specially when parking the truck and almost had me hit the other car in front and this is not the first time.
TRANSMISSION FAILURE RESULTING IN LOSS OF POWER. WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE UP A INTERSTATE INCLINE. WITH NO AREA TO PULL OVER AND HEAVY TRAFFIC IT ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I RESTARTED THE TRUCK AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN MANUAL MODE TO 4TH GEAR AND MADE IT OFF THE INTERTSTATE. I DID NOT NOTIFY ANY INDIVIDUALS AND CALLED A FRIEND WITH A TRAILER TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE.
While driving, the touch screen “touches itself” changing settings, making and ending calls, turning off by itself, dimming and brightening the screen while driving.
Major transmission shudder at 65-80 mph, creating control issues. Hard downshifting causing a vehicle push, hard to stop. Problem not confirmed by dealer, I'm out of warranty. No warning lamps or messages. 50,000 miles
The brakes grab and fails to fully engage at low speeds. The "Service Brake Assit message keeps popping up. My truck is not part of the GM brake recall but the symptoms are the same as many other reports from recalled trucks. They are going to get me killed with my truck's inconsistent braking
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the brake pedal became firm while being depressed. The braking distance was extended while attempting to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the nearly caused the vehicle to crash into a group of pedestrians. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who diagnosed that the brake vacuum assembly and belt kit were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The local dealer was notified of the failure and stated that the VIN was not covered under the recall or Service Campaign for the failure. The manufacturer was not yet contacted. The failure mileage was 75,000.
My 2017 Chevrolet Silverado's air bag light has come on. I had the Chevrolet dealers review and diagnosis the issue. I am told that the passenger airbag and sensor need replacing. Cost to repair 2400.00 and dealership (Wilson Chevrolet) doesn't think they can get the parts in to complete repair. I was told my year and make have a recall, but not my model for the same issues. I do not believe that a truck that is just 5 years old should have this type of safety issue and not covered by the manufacturer, Chevrolet. And if there is a recall for the year and make, shouldn't cover all model trucks in that recall?
The transmission in my truck has been giving me problems off and on since I purchased it a few years back. I have told the dealer about it and they said they could not find a problem and that's because it is very sporadic when it happens. What is happening is it shifts really hard like it's not in gear when you hit the gas and then it just takes off, it is to the point where now it Jenks really hard when shifting and it also has been downshifting for no reason. There are no warnings alarms or messages displayed and yes it can be inspected but the couple times I asked them being Sterling Buick GMC they tell me the techs can not duplicate the issue and that's because it does not happen all the time. Thank you
Brake becomes stuff and hard to press. This happens at low speeds at low engine speed. Brake pedal will sometimes vibrate. Message to check brake assist has occurred one time.
It is difficult to brake at low speeds; I have to press very hard for it to brake. I took my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado in to a shop in reference to a safety recall, they said they followed the procedures for that recall, but I have the same issue. I believe the proposed solution is not fixing the problem. This has been on going for at least three years. To be clear, this happens when there is REPETITIVE braking at low speeds. Typically after three times braking at low speeds (0-5 mph). What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Brake How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? It is difficult to brake anytime there is repetitive braking at low speeds, including but not limited to parking lots, drive thru, or heavy traffic. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, per the safety recall message. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Sometimes there is a "Brake Assist Warning" message.
While turning out of a parking space. I went into reverse, when I tried to turn the steering wheel it turned the other direction. The dash went dim, stabilitrac message came on the information display and the truck completely shut off. I had no lights no anything. I popped the hood touched the +battery terminal and lights came back on. Was able to drive home
I have notice from OnStar for issues with Antilock braking and on the vehicle dash notice for brake assist problems. I have experienced pedal pressure changes at very slow speed where I had to push very hard to stop the vehicle. Search and info from Consumer Reports indicates this is a problem for this model year, however I have not been notified of a recall and none is listed on this web site. I have scheduled service, but I believe this vehicle should be added to the recall.
I had to press the brakes exceptionally hard to stop at low speed. This occurred after having the recall reprogramming the electronic brake control module. I believe the pump needs to be replaced!
Transmission failed on vehicle with less than 27,000 miles. Required total overhaul costing over 4,000 $. No prior symptoms, no check engine light upon failure. This on top of over 5,000 $ of engine overhaul due to lifter failure last year. These are both known, prominent defects of this family of vehicles I unfortunately own.
Loss of power and misfire. I was on I44 in Oklahoma with my 1 year old and couldn’t go over 45 MPH. The mechanic said it was a lifter failure and it ruined cam shaft. In all the total repairs were $3800.00. I’m just learning about this common problem and seen there was a class action lawsuit filed.
I was driving on a road trip and when approaching a traffic light when I went to stop the brake pedal was hard, could not be pushed, and the truck would not Stop this happened several times during the trip the next day on star Notified me and says there is a problem with the brake assist system seems to be a common problem with these trucks but there is no recall on my truck this is very dangerous because the truck will not stop people are going to get hurt or killed due to this problem with these trucks
Rear sliding widow automatic defroster caught fire filled truck with smoke causing driver to make emergency stoppage and open windows to clear deadly smoke condition to breathe when glass shatteted and created loud noise and danger of shattered glass to rear passengers. Recall in Canada for same exact dangerous rear window defect.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact was alerted by OnStar of a malfunction with the air bag system. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed that a module associated with the air bags had failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the dealer was in the process of repairing the vehicle. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the repair was not covered under recall or warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 36,000.
After starting my truck, my kids and i entered a few minutes later, we smelled a faint burning smell but seemed to have faded. driving 50yards away from my home, my rear window (glass on side of sliding window) randomly made the spider web/Crack effect all over the glass and had started crumbling off.
I started having a shift issue and feeling vibrations around 25-30000 miles. Was told it was my tires. They were a little wore, so replace them and again the issues were still there. I brought it back to dealer and they said the transfer case was bad. Replaced by dealer. Same issues, returned to dealer. They made some adjustments and tried to send me away. After an aliment they did, it was said truck was fine. Another heavy clunk and hard shift around 68000 miles, back to dealer, asked to have transmission inspected, told the fuild was fine no issues. Was told that's just how this truck handles. Wrong. Something is wrong. I was sent away again. Now close to 97000 miles have have a P0741code and told the transmission is bad and needs replaced. The vehicle is never been in an accident, has only had minor weight in the bed. Never towed anything with the truck, northern transmission is faulty and causing driving problems.

Driving truck on vacation on the highway in traffic and when slowed down would hesitate going into gear when accelerating. Was able to get it in gear to try to exit highway. Was nearly rear ended in the process. Went to transmission shop immediately and was told no error codes and transmission fluid looked good so most likely transmission was going. We were about 200 miles from our destination and left stranded in unknown area. Truck towed to garage who confirmed failed transmission. Cost almost 6k to replace. Truck odometer just went over 61K miles!
It started to struggle to turn on, until it finally would not start. Gave a warning service trailer brake system
The display on the radio touches itself. It will constantly change screens. It opens apps. It trys to make calls and send text. It is become a safety issue in the fact that it is constantly drawing my attention from the road. The center of the screen no longer is touchable, it doesn't recognize input. This is an issue alot of chevy customers are having.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes made grinding noises due to the brake pads rubbing on the rotors. The contact added oil to the brake pads; however, the failure recurred. The contact replaced five hubs, two rotors, four calipers, and two brake lines. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with vacuum pump failure and the vacuum pump was replaced. The failure recurred and the vehicle was taken to Jim Butler Linn Chevrolet Service (317 Main St, Linn, MO 65051) where it was diagnosed that the transmission was faulty, and the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to replace the faulty parts with OEM parts. The failure mileage was approximately 126,000. The consumer had an accident due to brakes locking up and not able to get the transmission fixed.
The " service trailer brake system" light has been coming on for about 3 yrs in my truck. I have asked the dealer about this, and all I hear is it will cost me about $200 just to find out what is causing this. I was also told I could clear this just by pressing the dismiss button, which I have been doing. I don't feel this is the way to fix the problem. Since I do a lot of towing, I feel this is putting both mine and other lives in danger, since I don't know if my brakes are going to work or fail. I have recently discovered that this is a very common defect in this vehicle and is due to a faulty wire harness, which could fail at any time and cause a brake failure. I am truly afraid to operate this vehicle, and feel ALL 2017 silverado's should be recalled, and this faulty wire harness replaced, before people die.
While in drive thru or slow speeds in parking lot have lost braking power. Pedal just goes completely soft and sounds like ABS activating.
I was driving on along WT Harris highway and I attempted a turn along JW Clay Blvd. when my I pressed the gas and my truck didn't respond. I lost acceleration and it took a dangerous amount of time for me to cross the Highway. There aren't any warning lights or a check engine light on, but my transmission has begun to slip gears. This is after I had over 2k work done at the dealership for other problems I was having. Since no warning lights were visible it came as a complete shock in the middle of traffic when I could not accelerate. I have had my truck inspected by AAMCO Total Car Care and they have confirmed the problems and also the lack of warning lights or codes. After some research online I have found this issue common with Chevrolet Silverados manufactured between 2015-19.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that after sitting in the vehicle, it was discovered that the front driver’s side seat belt had detached from the seat and could no longer secure the driver while seated. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Recall Campaign 21V245000 (Seat Belts). The contact stated that the vehicle had experienced the failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 75,000.
Brakes not stopping as good and making a noise at slow speed and more while going in reverse. Service brake assist came on today after its been doing this for 6 months
Airbags failed to deploy when the truck was hit on the drivers side.
I have bought this certified 2017 chevy Silverado after driving for 1,100 miles the service trailer break kept popping up on my dash making my trailer breaks not work it pops up even when I do not have a trailer hooked up it chimes every few seconds I drive making the warning cover my digital speed it then will not let my music work and I can’t make call hand free bc it chimes and goes off the hole time I drive
Transmission issues. Brought Vehicle to Chevrolet dealership in Wisconsin. Explained the the vehicle had a vibration and I thought if might be a tire. They indicated that it was the Transmission fluid had to be changed. They change it and it was under warranty then. 10000 miles later the vibration is back. Brought it to a dealership in Indiana and they informed me that the dealership in Wisconsin put the fluid that was not the correct one. Now GM service wants 650 to fix the problem. Why didn't they correct this prior. They indicated they have done over 100 pickup trk like mine to fix the problem. Apparently GM dosen't want to take responsibility.
We have a 2017 Chevy Silverado 55,883 miles On 9/27/22 we took truck in for oil change. Dealership states our truck “both upper control arms have play” Repairs total cost $1246 We are 65 years old, we do not go off reading. We feel like this issue is caused by insufficient welds in a recall, but our truck is not on recall list.
I was driving north on Hwy 60 just south of the Hwy 73 turnoff in Arizona. It was a windy mountain road. I was approaching a vehicle from behind and took my foot off the gas and hit the brakes. Nothing - Nothing. I started pumping the brakes to the floor - still nothing. I was able to adjust my position on the road and travel between the two lanes of traffic - one northbound and the other southbound. I did slightly clip another vehicle. My truck rolled into a stop several miles later. When I was almost at a complete stop - the brakes finally engaged and the vehicle stopped. From where I stopped - it was a flat drive into Showlow, AZ and there was no cell service where I was. I drove at appx 40-45 mph with my emergency flashers along the right side of the road. The truck is sitting on my lot in Lakeside, AZ and has not yet been taken to the dealer for service. Several things to note: I have no recollection of the incident after the initial brakes failed and I took corrective action. My next memory was rolling to a stop on the side of the road. Right after the incident, which driving into town, I suffered a stroke and drove to the hospital. I was released 24 hours later and have since returned to Phoenix. The truck is still in Lakeside awaiting repair.
low brake pressure at low speeds
Automatic transmission causing hesitation or stalling feeling when pulling into traffic. Also, now getting a shudder or vibration at variable speeds from 25 to 75 MPH. Called dealer, known common problem with GM 8-speed transmission. Dealer suggested getting a transmission fluid flush and change. Trying to get that scheduled at this time. Doing an internet search, this seems to be a very common problem with these transmissions.
Transmission related issue - per dealer diagnosis, the transmission on the vehicle need to be replaced due to 1st gear bumping/harsh, rough/chuggling & being delayed when shifting. Complete lost of 1st gear after reaching operating temperature. Sudden loss of acceleration and the vehicle stalling while driving on a busy the freeway is a big safety issue to both the driver and other commuters. Vehicle was inspected by the Chevy Dealership - Alan Webb Chevrolet No warning lamps or messages showed prior to the failure. Just sudden lost of power while driving on the freeway.
In my truck it goes from V8 to V4 and I want it to stay in V8 all the time. Also, I have 5.3 engine, and cuz it goes into V4, that means that the back 2 lifters isn't getting enough oil, which can cause those lifters to lock up. I think those trucks that have that issue need to be recalled, cuz if the lifters lock up it can cause the engine to lock up and cause the truck to have an accident and possibly hurt a lot of people. Also, yes there are tuners you can buy to stop the V4 part, but who knows what they can mess up in the computer part.
Service trailer brake warning consistently flashing and dinging, every 1-4 seconds. Taking away my ability to see any digital read out on the screen, not safe to drive with this consistant relentless chiming and flashing on the screen. This issue has ready cost me a battery.
The vehicle shake when accelerating,decelerating, stalls when taking off,the losses traction when it does take off, jerks the vehicle when shifting up or down sometimes causing loss of traction, especially on wet roads. Has been taken to the dealer several times, tsb has been performed only gives temporary fix. I cannot allow anyone to drive this vehicle because it randomly looses traction. The dealer,Mtn View Chevrolet, has duplicated the problem in the past and performed a tsb that was not a permanent repair. This has been an ongoing issue since 2019
My brakes weren’t working very good. And when I backed out my driveway I had no brakes at all and almost hit a vehicle. I took my truck to Smith Chevrolet where I bought it in Turlock Ca 95380. Upon arrival they checked it in an provided me a loaner vehicle. I purchased the vehicle with every extended warranty available.. I was within my warranties. I’m still in my warranty limit. I received a call and was told they need the loaner vehicle back for other customers. I asked if they fixed the issue. The service tech manager and service tech said there was no issue with the brakes. I asked if they got in the vehicle and tested it. They said yes. Problem is I knew they were lying. I arrived to the dealership and I met with [XXX] the general manager cause I had conflict with service manager and service tech. I asked a 30+ year mechanic named [XXX] landers to jump in the truck to test the brake. He said there’s no reason the brake boosters are defected and should be replaced. But I insisted he still test the vehicle. When tested the vehicle had severe break issues. I was still left with no loaner vehicle and given my truck to take home with brake issues. Come to find out the service manager and service tech were fired. But [XXX] the general manager was the one that let me leave with my truck and no loaner vehicle. It has been a nightmare for a couple years now. I think outside of this I will seek a serious lawsuit against Smith Chevrolet and [XXX]. The brake booster is still not fixed.

The service trailer brake system warning went off on a return trip from Minnesota August 18. It chimed incessantly- probably every 5-8 seconds while driving. It was a huge distraction. I finally pulled over and pulled fuse #1 in the engine compartment hoping this would alleviate the chimes and now it only chimes every 3-5 minutes. I have NEVER used the trailer brake system as I only trailer my boat without it.
My 2017 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 started shaking and jerking while I was traveling at 65 mph and almost caused an accident on I - 65 North. The engine light never came on until the truck lost acceleration after leaving the interstate and would not shift into other gears. I was able to get off the interstate at 30 mph while other vehicles are going past me 70 mph +. I stopped at a dealership and they checked the vehicle out and told me the transmission needs to be replaced at $6500 with only 79,000 miles on the vehicle. I investigated online and realized other owners have been complaining about 6 and 8 speed transmission shaking and shuddering/Jerking while driving. The dealerships have been flushing and changing the transmission fluid to stop the problem in 8 speed transmissions. The dealership the truck is at for repairs told me this. GM knows this is a major problem with their transmission, and it appears they refuse to recall this safety issue. Owners will pull out in traffic or driving on the interstate and the 6 to 8 speed transmissions will sporadically stop shifting thru gears and start shaking and jerking the vehicle causing acceleration issues. GM needs to fix this problem with their transmissions because it is a safety issue for the public. The dealership told me not to set the truck to the auto setting that operates the 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive setting, and to leave it at 2 wheel drive while driving because they said the vehicle will have transmission problems if you move the setting. GM and the dealership knows this is a major problem and so does every owner. Hopefully, this problem will be addressed.
My service trailer brake system blinked twice, not on at this time. I understand that this a on going problem. please advise if you are going to make GM a recall problem. thanks
In January 2022 the drivers seat belt latch broke in my Silverado. The seat belt would not engage into the latch, there was an internal part of the latch that broke and prevented the seat belt from engaging. Obviously this is a safety issue in addition to my State having mandatory seat belt laws so I was unable to drive my vehicle. I contacted General Motors Customer Service who said the defect was not covered under any warranty. I took the vehicle to the dealer I purchased the truck from and had the repair made. It cost $316.97 for the dealer to replace the driver side seat belt latch. I followed up with General Motors to see if the part had ben recalled or if they would pay for the repair to this integral part of the truck's supplemental restraint system. General Motors sent me a check for $16.97 which they said was a prorated amount towards the amount I paid to have the seat belt repaired. While there is no official recall of this part currently, there are many public forums where Silverado owners have complained about this part of the supplemental restraint system failing. In my opinion a seat belt system should never fail, especially on a truck as new as mine and with such low mileage. My truck was purchased new, has been garage kept and has never been involved in any accident. The truck only had 44,400 miles on it at the time of the repair. I find it hard to believe that General Motors would not cover the repair under the terms of the supplemental restraint warranty.
When towing RV the warning indicator “check trailer wiring” continually pops up and chimes and the trailer breaks continuously malfunction. This causes imminent danger to our family and others on the road as the trailer breaks malfunction and the continual chiming and warning lights take focus off the road.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH when depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle began to shudder. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he continued to drive to his residence. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer, where it was diagnosed with needing the torque converter to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 50,676.
1. I lost power steering, power breaks, all dash lights/power and I believe air bags. The truck is available for inspection. 2. The first time I was traveling at 65mph in moderate traffic, it was very difficult to pull over to safety. The second time I was traveling at 50mph on a very windy road with heavy traffic. I almost hit another vehicle head on with several vehicles traveling in both lanes. The last time I was backing into my carport and almost bumped I to my house. 3. No, I called onstar the first time, they did a system check and said everything was good. I called a dealership the Second time and they confirmed I had no open recalls and explained it would be difficult to troubleshoot because it was intermittent. 4. I will be calling back to the dealership in the morning to make an appointment. 5. I got the audible chime, the airbag light came on and the "trailer break" message came on the info center. But everything goes back to normal.
Transmission and torque converter problem. Vehicle available. Transmission malfunctioning and sometimes violent vibration at highway speeds. Taken to dealership several times and charged a lot of money but dealer says even though they know they built them wrong they won’t replace it. Vehicle inspected by dealership and confirmed. Class action lawsuit is still active on this 2017 model as faulty transmission
My truck has 57000miles has electronic steering. The steering will shut down and everything becomes manual. Steering error messages pop on the screen and chimes sound. This mostly happens at low speed, like stopping to back into a parking space. I've taken the truck to the dealership on two occasions, first time they " adjusted the module" for 1 hourly rate. The second time they reset the module and recommended a battery cable replacement. After replacing the battery cables and battery ( at a different repair shop) same problem. Now back to the dealership for a recommended Electronic Comtrol Module (ECM). After researching multiple websites and blogs, this is a known issue, and a dangerous one. Why has this not become a recall issue yet? https://shop.tekmetric.com/inspection/2D5vHKs-uXj8ZivBaJywx2vyFb4Lg9TyK5LgYX56mKE
At 45, 000 miles the check engine light came on with error code P025E Ventilation Regulator Valve Performance, which is a common issue. This valve can leak oil on the catalytic converter causing smoking.
Bought new with only 48 miles in 2018. Within the first 10,000 miles started getting a Service 4WD message. Dealership could not find an issue and told me it was a miscommunication between the transmission and computer. The message has continued to come on for several years. I have contacted On Star to run a diagnostic on it when it comes on and everything shows to be okay with no codes showing up. Had a severe shudder in the front end at 75,000 miles which went away after servicing the transmission but the 4WD message still comes on consistently.
Stabilitrac light and anti-lock brakes lights on.
While driving the vehicle wont shift properly. As someone with a degree in automotive I checked the vehicle which has code P0741 in the TCM. I contacted GM regarding the problems with my vehicle and they agreed to pay a portion of the costs to repair if I had it diagnosed by a dealership. The dealer diagnosed it between them and GM they replaced the valve body. This did not fix the issue. The dealer found metal shavings in the transmission which it not a good thing. This transmission needs to be replaced. However, getting the dealer or GM to say or do this is not working. I am stuck with a vehicle that isn't functioning properly. I have talked with other dealerships and transmission repair shops which all agree that if metal was found the then the transmission needs replaced.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving from a complete stop, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission was overheating. The dealer also informed the contact that the wiring harness and the transmission fluid temperature sensor needed to be replaced under a Technical Service Bulletin. The vehicle was not repaired; however, the check engine warning light was reset. The contact referenced GM Recall Number: N192291660. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.
My main concern is my driver side seat belt the cable at the lower left side mounting broke in half while driving…….no accident or sudden stop I thought the belt had come unlatched
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and slowing down, the vehicle would suddenly lose motive power and stall. The contact indicated that the failure only occurred while making either a right or left turn. The contact stated that during the failure, a message to raise or lower the window was displayed. After restarting the vehicle, the vehicle would operate as designed. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 15,000.
My Service Trailer Brake System light comes on. This is the 2nd time that I have had to take my truck in for this issue. The first time it was fixed it lasted for about a year. I am not sure what the issue is, but there seems to be a lot of people with this same issue that is very concerning especially when you are pulling a heavy load and the trailer brakes stopped working.
The contact's husband owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled with the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact initially took the vehicle to Robideaux Motors CO. (51 W Dalton Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83815) where a diagnostic test showed error codes for the fuel injectors. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where another diagnostic test was performed and the mechanic suggested that all that 8-fuel injectors be replaced. Upon investigation, the contact linked the failure to TSB: N182198000. The vehicle was then taken to another dealer where the contact was notified that the vehicle was not included in the technical service bulletin. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and the contact was provided an estimate for the repair. The vehicle was not repaired and remained in the dealer's possession. The failure mileage was approximately 40,000.
Trailer Brake system message comes on multiple time. Have never pulled a trailer. Also when going 75mph on cruise control the "Stabilitrak" message comes up and kicks off my cruise and completely blanks out my screens. This is extremely bothersome and is DEFINITELY a safety issue with this wiring problem.
No trailer hooked up and "Service Trailer Brake System" appears. Will dismiss but the chime continues. Would believe this would cause an accident if equipped with a heavy load requiring trailer brakes. Will not be hauling anything with trailer brakes at this point.
Trailer Brake system warning keeps flashing on my display even though I am not towing anything behind my truck. Now I am worried to tow my camper or my boat behind my truck do to this unknown issue, I was told by GM that it may have something to do with a cable assembly harness. I have only owned this truck for 8mos and I dont tow anything on a regular basis. What is going on?? I will get more info when i bring my truck back from GM.
Stabilitrac service light comes on and dash lights flicker for a second, radio sound cuts out a second, then power steering is lost until putting in park or restart of vehicle. Just like recalls for other silverado 1500s. Happens intermittently.
Reporting a common issue in GM vehicles. Trailer Brake Service signal digging on my 2017 Chevy LTZ. CONSTANT DIGGING. Causing distraction while driving, and takes an update to trailer brake modules to fix. This is a common issue, and people need compensated for the money they spent to fix something that is not their fault. This constant service reminder does not go away, and causes a distraction while driving, until the issue is fixed.
(1). Entire Electrical failure. Initial investigation revealed Negative Batter Post and Cable extremely Hot. The Truck was operating perfectly and had just sat overnight. This issue was first detected about 1 month prior, when, after a 3 Hour drive, I got and when I returned, there was "Nothing". Disconnected Battery Cables, touched thwm together fo 30+ seconds and everything worked perfect. (2). The first event, I was in the Middle of the Arizona Desert, almost 90 miles from the nearest population. (3), Unable to Intentionally Reconstruct this problem. There was No Check engine light. HOWEVER - in the first event, the Stabili-Trak Light illuminated and had to pull to the side of the road to apparently let it reset. (4). Took it into the Dealer who simply stated "since there was No Check Engine Light, it would be a waste of money, since I had driven it in". They did not take a formal report. (5). Other than the initial issue with the Stabili-Trak light, prior to the first incident, 2/12 Hours later, there were NO advanced warnings. In the 2nd event, the Truck ran perfectly, parked it overnight and when I went to start it in the morning, NOTHING.
Pressing the brakes can cause the trailer brake system alarm to go off. Sometimes it causes the truck to die while I’m driving. Very dangerous. I have seen numerous posts online of the exact problem.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 30 MPH, the brakes started to grab while depressing the brake pedal. The contact stated that during stop-and-go driving, the vehicle lost proper braking functionality and occasionally the contact had to depress the brake pedal to the floorboard to stop the vehicle. The power assist service warning light was illuminated intermittently. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and was informed that the power brake booster needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,777.
Transmission failure at 60,000 miles. This is unacceptable and is reported to be a huge problem with the transmission on these vehicles. GM should own up to this problem or be made to by the NTHSA. Replacement costs over $4K.
Trailer brake system is continuing to show a service warning on the dash. Noticed the problem when my battery kept draining over night. Then the service trailer brake system light came on and won’t go away. I don’t have any modifications done to the vehicle and I bought it used almost 6 months ago with 80,000 miles. The service light comes on every time you crank the truck. GM service bulletins are reporting that it is a wiring harness that is defective. This should be addressed as a recall. It is unsafe to pull any type of equipment as well is causing my battery to drain over night to where I’m having to jump the truck off just to crank it
The stitching in the loop attaching the front center lap seat belt to the vehicle failed causing the seat belt to detach and become unusable. If this had not been discovered and the vehicle were in an accident with the front center lap seat belt in use, the seat belt would not have provided any protection to the occupant and could have resulted in serious injury or death.
The truck lurches forward at any given time while taking off with the truck. The rear end clunks too.
Brake pressure seems to lose the ability to stop wall at low speeds I have already taken it to the dealer to have a recall done but only a software update was done the problem is still there while braking in low speeds it triggers the ABS and it's hard to break pedal gets really stiff
Torque converter failure, only 33k miles on vehicle. Had a load of dirt in bed of truck, while going home had too pull to side of road. Cause - truck shook violently almost lost control, thought someone hit me at first. While getting started again, noticed transmission was shifting funny but got home and symptoms went away for approx 2 months. April 16 while going for a drive on the highway, truck shifted down gears while cruise was set at 65mph the had trouble getting into gear so I pulled to the side and shut her down after I noticed a engine light come on. Luckily I had a scanner in my vehicle that I carry all the time and the code PO741 CAME UP. TORQUE converter and impellar, sensors,wiring issue. I called dealer immediately to set up apps and they came to same conclusion, TORQUE converter,impellar,trans lines .
When driving at low speeds and trying to brake, my vehicle's brake pedal fades and fails to stop properly requiring increased stopping distance. This happens when pulling into parking lots, stopping at a traffic device, or in a drive through. There is a current recall for this exact problem that I am experiencing within my model year, however my VIN number does not have the recall. The campaign numbers for this recall are 19V645 and 20V603. I want me vehicle added to the list so I can have it repaired by the dealer before an accicdent occurs. This event has occurred multiple times in my vehicle over the past 18 months/30,000 miles.
My 2017 Silverado cuts off on me while driving. Completely gos dead for a few minutes then it will regain power. It has cut off on me while on the road. That is extremely dangerous. Also I keep getting a message for to service trailer break system. Non stop messages and stabilitrak is another non stop message on my dash. This is how I've been driving for weeks now. It's a on and off thing.

Hello- I'm constantly receiving a repetitive service trailer brake system chime while driving and/or in park which is very dangerous! The exact warning message that pops up on my screen constantly says: Trailer Brake System. I have 87,531 on my certificated pre-owned 2017 Chevy Silverado_Redline edition. Extensive research leads me to believe that the wire harness in between two of the body control modules is detective! I TRULY BELIEVE that GM/Chevrolet Corporation should be held accountable in recalling the DEFECTIVE low quality wire harness on all 2017 Chevy Silverado's. The distracting message puts every driver at risk and should be deemed extremely UNSAFE to drive. [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Fuel injectors are misfiring. This has caused the shifting of gears to be rough. Also, when at a complete stop, then a small amount of force is applied to the gas pedal, a sudden jump forward will take place. Check engine light and the traction control lights have came on.
On 9/11/2017 i purchased this 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 Custom double cab truck. I owned it for over 7 years. (46000 miles) And garage kept since day 1. I noticed a lot of rust on frame and Spair tire a lot . Also the paint on the body is chipping a lot. I did not have any problems with the lifter issue yet. But i feel as soon as it goes out of warranty I will have to deal with rebuilding my engine. GM knows of this problem and not doing anything about it. It would be nice if this engine could be replaced with none of the AFM parts and at no cost to me.
Transmission only has 74+k miles
The truck will shut off without warning and lock all doors. The key fob/manual unlock or door unlock button will not unlock the doors. There is no way to get out.This has happened 3 times in the last year
When you put the truck in reverse, the rear back up camera display is always extremely bright, regardless of the setting of the dimmer switch or automatic dimmer settings. This causes a safety issue at night when backing up, as the driver's night vision is completely diminished as soon as you put the truck in reverse. The display becomes so bright the driver loses their night vison and is also unable to use their mirrors.
While driving down the road, my Transmission stopped working. I was on the highway while coming up to speed, my truck would not pick up speed and would not shift into gear. I had the vehicle towed to a nearby automotive shop, where they said there was internal damage to my transmission and recommended a new transmission or a rebuild. There was no warning or any warnings that the transmission was going to fail. It just stopped being operational. My vehicle only has 67k miles on it.
Brake vacuum pump has failed . Hard brake pedal brakes not stopping truck at low speeds. Have had to replace vacuum pump and brake booster
The automatic transmission had major problems that required $3000 in repair. I have 67,000 miles on vehicle.
I went outside and started my truck as I normally do. After a few seconds of the rear defroster being on I heard a sizzling noise behind me. I turned around and could see white smoke coming out and filling the truck w smoke. I quickly turned the rear defroster off and then the truck. The whole component has melted for the rear deforster and rear power window. The truck has less that 60,000 mi. After a quick Google search I learned this is apparently a known issue. This is an absolute safety hazard and needs to be addressed immediately. I shouldn't have to pay for a repair on the electrical wiring or faulty parts that were installed by the manufacturer.
I am the owner of a 2017 Chevy Silverado with a little under 50000 miles. I have had an issue with the computer system occasionally re-booting while driving. Also, on occasion, I will get a warning on my display for "trailer braking system" for a fraction of a second. I have mentioned this a several service appointments and inspections, but the dealership was never able to pinpoint the problem. On the morning of Monday, February 28th, I dropped my children off at school, pulled up to the edge of the building and the "trailer braking system" warning flashed for a split second on my display. I proceeded to the stop sign. As I was making the turn into traffic, the computer seemed to have re-booted several times in the period of a few seconds. However, this time, my steering locked in place while making the turn, putting the front of my vehicle just over the double yellow line into oncoming traffic. The doors locked and unlocked several times, several chimes went off, the display flashed a few times, and then, after a couple of seconds, I was able to steer and pull back into my lane. I promptly called Chevy support to report the issue, as I believed this to be an important safety issue that Chevy would be extremely concerned with. I was disappointed to find that the operator was not interested in taking my information, she suggested that I contact the dealership for service, which I already was in the process of doing. I explained that I was calling to report a safety issue to Chevy, not to merely complain, and offered my VIN number. She reluctantly checked the last 8 digits of my VIN number for known recalls and again suggested I call for service. Dealership said that my power steering module needed calibration updates. But, they are not sure that this will solve my issue. I see many complaints like this online and Chevy is not proactively scanning for this computer issue even though it could be deadly in traffic, especially on the highway.
Service trailer brake system is coming on due to faulty safety wire harness have heard of several of these incidents in the same model vehicle there should be a recall
GM already has a recall for brakes going out at low speed this has happened multiple times on this vehicle but there's no recall according to this Vin, the second is the transmission shakes the entire vehicle violently at higher speeds, commonly known as the "chevy shake." Multiple dealers refuse to look at the truck charging upfront fees and saying there's nothing wrong with it since there are no warning lights or other sensors on or reporting any errors, both problems have been recalled on similar vehicles just not for this Vin #, a truck with no brakes can put many at risk

There were no warning lights or know issues with the belt prior to the accident.
Got out onto road tried to get truck up speed limit 55 and transmission just gave out leaving me coasting to a stop. Chevybhas tons of complaints on these trucks and only pay out of pocket solution
While backing up in a parking lot my brakes became very hard to press Not wanting to stop my truck Finally got the truck stopped put it in drive and it happened again I put the truck in park Turned off my truck held down the brake Pedal While starting my truck and Is the break pedal released going back to normal, THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM CHEVROLET NEED TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE YOU GET SOMEONE KILLED, I even had my steering gear fail with no warning or indication of a problem about six months ago and almost crashed

The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
While driving the vehicle I turned the rear window defrosted on. The rear window started smoking after 5 minutes of turning on rear defroster and filled the vehicle cabin with smoke. I immediately turned the rear defroster off and pulled off the side of the road and opened all the doors to air it out. I then went back in and turned the defroster back on to verify the rear window defroster was the issue. It instantly started smoking again and was scalding to the touch of the bottom right of the sliding window. I turned defroster off and waited about 20 minutes where I felt that it had cooled. After some research I found the TSB provided by GM. TSB # N192265660. I contacted GM customer service and they said there is nothing they can do and it will need to be fixed out of pocket. This is unacceptable as this may cause the window to blow out on passengers, or can cause a smoke inhalation issues. I had everything I could do the get the vehicle pulled over because I could not see. The truck is only has 56,000 miles on it.
On 1/20/2022, my son & I were traveling I-80 east to NV. At approximately 130 miles, we noticed the engine was sputtering occasionally along the flat road. It got worse on a climb, but engine runs smoothly. It seems fine on a downhill, but on a flat road & on a climb the problem continues & was getting worse. We checked the spark plug connections to make sure they are tight & secured. After a brief refuel stop in Elko, NV, we proceeded to travel again and at approximately 4:30 am 5 miles from Elko, NV, the engine went to high revolution, oil pressure to the max, check engine light came on, and the speed suddenly reduced to 30mph, transmission will not shift/or could not go any faster. Things became scary as semi truck was barreling behind us at high rate of speed and we almost got rear-ended on an icy road. We exited immediately to the next exit (Exit 314) and parked at a Sinclair gas station and called for a tow. The truck was towed to Riverton Elko Chevy dealer. Further investigation revealed metal shavings at the bottom of the pan which means the truck requires new transmission. Initially we were told that the repair cost would be $2.8K to change the shift control solenoid, then $4K for solenoid & valve body, then $8.5 for new transmission. The truck only had 67K miles, just 5K above the warranty expiration. It was serviced early last year (45K) from the local dealership. Prior to that, I took the truck to the same dealership for brake problem/recall and after that, for another problem with speed hesitation, loud thud under the truck when moving, and sputtering. We currently have the truck at a local mechanic in Elko, NV for an upgraded transmission replacement. We chose to not use the Chevy Dealer as their quoted repairs did not seem ethical at the time. The Chevy Dealer was helpful after giving poor service and they did tow the truck to the local mechanic without charge to us. As per the mechanic this is a very common problem on this model.
I was at a drive through lane yesterday. My truck became hard to slow down and stop. I had to push the brake pedal very hard to stop to avoid crashing the car in front of me. I had to do the same on way home approaching stop signs and traffic lights. When turning to and park at our driveway, it was hard to make stop and park also. I heard some noise from power braking system and felt the truck shaking.

At low speeds in like parking lots the brake pedal can not be push to stop the truck. There is a recall for this problem N192268490 but my vin # is not in the recall.
In the midst of rush hour traffic without any indication in a major interstate, 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT lost power as the engine reeved up and then check engine light came on. Once vehicle was carefully moved from interstate with citizens to the service road, engine running but would go into gears (D, R, L) without any movement. Transmission issues (p0700, p0796, etc... from OBD II). Vehicle has had routine maintenance on all oils as scheduled.
Backing up from my driveway, my brakes fail. The brake pedal was very hard, I had to pressed multiple times until vehicle came to a stop. It was a very scary moment almost rear ended car park on the street. I purchased this vehicle on 12/24/2021 From Antelope Valley Chevy in Lancaster Ca. Same day of the incident. 2017 Silverado. I try contacting the dealer but they’ve close already due to the holiday. Please help!
I was in a drive thru yesterday and couldn’t stop. I was traveling less than 5 mph, and the brake pedal was extremely stiff, I had to pump the brakes several times in order to stop the truck. At one point I had to place the truck in park in order to keep the truck from moving because the brake pedal wouldn’t hold the truck still. It happened a few more times on my way home in slow traffic. I almost crashed once.
I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER REPAIRS DUE TO AN IMPACT WITH A DEER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE WEEKS. AFTER TRAVELING LESS THAN THREE (3) MILES, FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY/ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPING. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BUT HAD TO PARK THE TRUCK AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR THE CHEVY SILVERADO BUT MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALL SO I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE FOR MY VIN AND HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP ANOTHER TRUCK OWNER AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. IN THE EVENT THE RECALL IS EXPANDED TO OUR SILVERADO MODEL WE WOULD REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME REGARDING THE MATTER.
Was driving for 25 minutes in the truck. Temperature outside was around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. I did not know the rear defroster was on. My son who was in the back seat smelled smoke and said that the truck was on fire. I pulled to the side of the road and looked in the back and could see the rear defroster on drivers side was glowing and emitting smoke. I looked at rear defrost light and it was on. I turned the rear defroster off to prevent any more current from going through the wire. Once we were sure there was no more smoke or fire we got back in the vehicle. About 300 seconds later the window shattered. If my son was not in the back seat and smelled smoke the back seat could have caught on fire. I called the dealer and they stated no recalls for my vehicle. There is an article from Canada describing what happened to my truck. https://gmauthority.com/blog/2019/07/gm-truck-recall-2014-2019-silverado-sierra-trucks-over-fire-risk/ No warning at all. The rear defroster just started smoldering and smoking. I do have a rear sliding window so only the left glass pane was impacted.
No power brakes at low speeds ?? below 5 mph
ran system check and found code p0796 performed test drive and found torque converter switch slipping-checked fluid in the pan found excessive amount of debris removed transmission and disassembled finding 4-5-6 clutch burnt mup and debis went through the valve body and tcm - bushings are also damaged from debris , 75400 milees on 2017 silverado truck
Brake assist issue I have a pic and transmission is HORRIBLE couldn’t even take on vacation had to get a rental it shutters really bad no help with fixing it
I bought my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 certified pre owned on 11/04/2019 shortly after I purchased it I started having problems with it. From brakes to lights. An took it in for the recall on brakes and steering. After that I've not had cruise control, and the stabilitrak warning light has been on. And just about a year ago while driving an pulling trailer, I lost communication to transmission, electronic brake, park assist, trailer brakes, ect. An was forced to stop! After taking it in to dealership to fix it, they did which lasted not even a month and done it again numerous times leaving me stranded. Now just last night 11/23/2021 while pulling my trailer, as I came to a stop sign I hit my brakes and all trailer brakes locked up bringing me to a stop (trailer brake on dash has been set on 0 since they haven't worked since purchased ) I had to unhook trailer wiring to make it home. As I took off I lost communication to transmission again and trailer brake system warning chime kept going off repeatedly, lost dash gauges, causing transmission to get hot. As it was stuck in a certain gear. Your defective wiring/ electrical system has fault and potentially caused a SERIOUS accident, and is going to cost me an enormous amount of money to fix. Also the torque converter has been acting up for a year, forcing me to purchase a tuner just to stretch the life of transmission. This vehicle is NOT safe to drive on highway! This vehicle is life threatening. Putting my life, my familys life and innocent peoples life's in danger! Problem needs resolved or reimbursement/ new truck. A $37,000 truck should not be life-threatening. This truck has spent more time in a garage than on the highway. Solutions have to be done. Why pay for a $37,000 truck you can't use or risk everyone's lives!
Lost all communication to transmission control module, electronic brake control module, trailer brake control module, broken can bus wiring, lost windows, can NOT DRIVE!
on or around august 13, 2021 this vehicle was brought to triangle chevrolet in defuniak springs fl. for a recall on a loss of power assist braking. in the last 3 weeks or so i have had a loss of power braking at low speed drastically increasing stopping distance while also putting a tremendous amount of effort on the brake pedal, 2 times while going through fast food drive through, 1 time while manuvering around a gas pump to get gas. it acts like there is a loss of vacuum assist, and sometimes there is some vibration in the brake pedal as it the antilock brake system is activating. did triangle chevrolet actually perform the recall? if so, did they do it correctly? , if they did , what is the remedy for this
i reported my vehicle stalling in the middle of traffic on 2 separated incidents. the dash lights turn off and on and the car stalls. but after having it serviced nothing was found this was in 2019 and 2020. come 2021 my car STALLED AND LOCKED in the middle of an intersection my truck is not more than 5 years old and i have it serviced at the dealership and they never saw this coming. my diagnostic check reads i need to replace 8 fuel injectors $2400.00
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while her husband was driving at 70 mph, he hit a deer. Only the trim of the side curtain air bags deployed with a powder substance released from the air bags. The driver and passenger-side air bags did not deploy upon impact. No injury was sustained. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard. The dealer was made aware of the failure but informed the contact that there was no recall associated with the VIN. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.
Several times when coming to a stop at low speed, the RPMs stay at 1500 despite having foot off accelerator, requiring greatly increased brake pressure to stop or maintain stopping. Seems that the transmission does not downshift to low gear. Just bought vehicle used two days ago, happened three times today. This easily could have resulted in an vehicle or pedestrian accident.
Brake pedal is stiff when braking at highway speeds. At low speeds, brake feels as if the anti lock braking system is activated (grinding/slight vibration). In reverse, brake will go to the floor and not immediately stop vehicle. The pedal grinds like the ABS is activated, however, no pulsing action. In addition, a trailer braking warning light registered.. I do not tow with this vehicle!! This vehicle has not been to an authorized dealer for maintenance as of this message. Vehicle has 40k miles registered.
The service brake assist came on and the brakes are acting funny at lower speeds. I see there was a recall for this very problem.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle there was a tapping and ticking sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed that the camshaft was damaged and needed replacement. The vehicle was not repaired.

Driver complains of fuel smell. Upon inspection found leak from fuel pump outlet port. Replaced fuel pump to correct.
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT AT AN INTERSECTION, THE POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AFTER ABOUT 2 INCHES OF TURN ON THE WHEEL. I WAS FORCED TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE. TRIED AGAIN, STILL WOULDN'T TURN. THIRD TRY, IT RELEASED. THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT, AS I WAS ANGLED ACROSS THE ON-COMING LANE AND STOPPED. IF I HAD NOT BRAKED, I WOULD HAVE WENT HEAD ON INTO A LIGHT POLE. I LISTED MY COMPLAINT ON CARPROBLEMS.COM, AND THERE WERE DOZENS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME STEERING ISSUE ASSOCIATED WITH THE 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO, SOME RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS WITH INJURY.
Trailer brakes quit working, message displays service trailer brake system. Dealer did a diagnostic with scanner and could get no response. They say probably broken wire somewhere in system. Vehicle is still like new, low mileage. Dangerous having no trailer brakes could cause accident.
warning on dash SERVIVE POWER STEERING
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while driving at 15 mph, the power steering had failed while making a turn and the steering wheel would not turn. The contact crashed into a light pole. The contact hit his head on the seatbelt anchor ring. No medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer but the dealer could not replicate the failure after a test drive. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the failure occurred on two separate occasions. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact there was no recall for the vehicle's year and model. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
I had driven to work. While backing into a parking space at idle speed the brake pedal would not depress. It was hard as a rock. I nearly hit the building but was slowly backing up slightly up hill so my truck stopped on its own. I never had an issue with the brakes before this. later in the same morning I drove my truck to the local dealership a few miles up the road and had no braking issues while driving there. Rather terrifying suddenly having no brakes!
In the last few weeks there have been five instances of the vehicle downshifting multiple gears at approximately 60 MPH with a hard shift. The vehicle was in 2wd mode during all events. This occurred twice on wet roads and resulted in a momentary loss of control which I was able to recover when the rear wheels suddenly slowed and skidded. The vehicle was taken to Brenegen Chevrolet in Onalaska, WI today. The dealer was unable to replicate the issue and charged me for diagnostic time. Vehicle mileage is 53k
Drive complains of fuel smell. Upon inspection found fuel pump outlet port cracked. Replaced fuel pump to correct.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at an unknown speed, the airbag warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed however, the contact was unsure of the part that needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed with the same failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 55,000.
My vehicles trailer breaking system keeps activating cause the brakes to activate. Additionally, it is activating my stabilitrak system and turns the vehicle off and on. These issues coralate with recall #19V761000.
The system that failed is the speedometer display and radio display while driving. This can be dangerous as I do not know the speed I am driving. This can also be dangerous as the display includes the screen for the backup camera that turns off without notice while backing up. The problem has happened many times in the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado owned by the company I work for. I own a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and the issue occurs in it, as well. I notified the GM dealership where both vehicles were purchased and they said the screen could be replaced but would be very expensive. No warning lamps or messages occurred. The screen jumps around a lot and occurs at various times (morning, afternoon, warm or cold weather, etc.).
My engine went out while I was driving in the highway. The engine started ticking and I was instantly limited to 30mph with cars going highway speeds around me. No symptoms or warnings prior to that. Dealer said it was faulty lifters required for the AFM module.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 70 mph at night, the display screen started switching screens independently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who diagnosed the screen display malfunction as a phantom touch and informed the contact that the display screen needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 64,500.
The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the air conditioner was blowing hot air throughout the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the air compressor was replaced. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was contacted who referred the contact to the NHTSA. The failure mileage was 41,645.
Brakes are hard to push and stutter at low speeds. I need to push hard on pedal to initiate the brake system.
I purchased a certified pre-owned 2017 Chevy Silverado on February 1st of this year, and over the last 4 months have put only 5,000 miles on it. On June 20th, on my way back from a 10-hour trip, where I was towing a trailer with a car on it, my trailer brakes suddenly stopped functioning (about 4 hours from home). Not only did the trailer brakes stop functioning, but a warning message popped up on the dashboard "service trailer brake system". But this warning message didn't pop up just one time, it kept coming again and again and again and again and again, relentlessly chiming and distracting me from driving, it covered my speedometer readout, it prevented me from receiving or making voice commands, prevented me from hearing phone calls, and prevented me from listening to music. The service warning chime also prevented the turn signal chime from functioning. So for a full 4 hours, I was constantly reminded with a service trailer brake system chime, was unable to hear my turn signal chime, was unable to listen to music or make a phone call, and was unable to see the digital readout of my speed. The vehicle had been rendered completely undrivable, and I absolutely will not hesitate to say that the vehicle was not safe to drive in that condition. Especially if you consider that I was towing 5,000 lbs with no working trailer brakes. GM's defective wire harness endangered my life. Consumer stated wire harness has not been replaced and manufacture refused to honor CPO warranty.
Reverse lights and camera are out
Brakes are delayed and have a slipping feeling at times. Lights flash and wheel locks up, unknown problem, when vehicle is shut down and restarted problem resolves. Vehicle will not start due to electrical problem. researched and found safety recalls precisely for the problems I am having on other models, my truck needs to be included in those recalls.
...Decreased service brake: intermittent vehicle vibration throughout vehicle and decreased brake performance with brake pedal application. Vehicle has approximately 21,400 miles, purchased new, operates in the rochester ny rust belt area. Inquired at dealer of problem, was informed GM does not cover brake "maintenance" items. Upon inspection, considerable deterioration, due to rust, was noted on said vehicles 4 brake rotors along with loss of inner brake pad surface area of rotors. Upon completion of 4 wheel brake pad, rotor and hardware replacement, at the cost to myself, to date, brake performance is back to "as new" with no noticeable vibration at this time....vjd....(pics available, upon request, of rotors)

The back-up camera system has failed on my 2017 Silverado for the second time under 46,000 miles. Got to the point that the screen was just blue, not even a distorted image any more. With large vehicles like this I feel the camera is an essential safety component for backing up, especially in my neighborhood with children around, people walking down the sidewalks etc. The dealer had to replace wiring at about 7,000 miles (5mo old) and then wiring and the camera again at about 45,000 miles (4yrs old). The second time more wires broke during testing, triggering a check engine light which resulted in 2 days in the shop. The camera screen started saying it needed repair, would work on and off and then quit completely and went blue.
On 10/26/2019, the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado was being driven in heavy traffic on the 134/210 Freeway area of Glendale, California. The truck was going 10 mph, and when the driver went to stop, the brake petal pressed to the floor, resulting in a rear end collision with the car in front of it. The driver of the first car appeared uninjured, but filed a claim later that he had ongoing lower back issues. The brake light only went on after the incident. The truck was driven to a local Chevrolet dealer and the brakes were serviced a few days later. The vacuum pump was the reason why the truck did not stop. It is notated on paperwork and confirmed when speaking to the Service Manager on Friday, November 1st at 4:30 pm. The service manager also reported there was now a recall to fix the problem, so it would be fixed and a new vacuum pump would be put in (Vacuum Pump Replacement Special Coverage N182198000). A claim was filed with GMC to pay for the damage and take over the insurance claim made by the owner of the truck, as well as the car in front of it. GMC came out to the Chevrolet dealer during that time, and GMC reported to the owner that they would not help with fixing the vehicle or the insurance claims. The owner requested the final report three times and there was no response. The truck had been reported to multiple service providers that there were issues with the stopping of the brakes in 2019. It was requested by the owner that the brakes were inspected so that they could be replaced if needed. There was also an incident in July 2019 where front and rear brakes were interchanged on the paperwork and the owner of the truck was told that it was just a paperwork mix up because they "fixed the brakes that were bad."
Brakes give out at slow speeds such as parking Lots are traffic. The truck started giving me problems one day in a parking lot the breaks went straight to the floor and the truck shook and it was weird and the truck barley stopped and I put it in park. I started to drive again and at fast speeds the brakes seemed fine .. but then it’s happened multiple times for me now in traffic and in parking lots and it’s not safe at all I’ve bought new rotors all new brakes pads and even changed the brake booster and main cylinder all through Midas and it still has done it to me again.

Hi, My company purchased this truck brand new. Since the 1st I time drove it I realized that I can easily smell the pollution on the out side, inside the truck. Even with windows up and Air Condition on cabin air recirculate mode. This is a problem I did not have on my 2000 Silverado 1500 model. The pollution from other vehicles in front of my truck would be sucked right into my truck and into my lungs. So every time I would get behind a smokey truck or near it, a few cars behind, I would have to open the windows to get that air out and if iI was stuck behind that truck then the smell was not going anywhere. I will be very happy to see this addressed. I see this as a major issue with this truck. Please help.
MY VEHICLE HAS 30,000 MILES. ABOUT 200 MILES AGO NOTICED A CLICKING WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE IT HAS INCREASED IN NOISE AND OCCURANCE AND HAPPENS WHILE TURNING RIGHT TO LEFT. IN PARK OR DRIVING. I HAD A MECHANIC DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE TAKING THE COVER OFF AND HE CHECKED THE OTHER COMPONENTS AND HE DIAGNOSED IT AS RACK AND PINION NOISE.
ABS AND SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON. TOOK IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND THEY REPLACED WIRING. THIS CAUSED LEFT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR TO MALFUNCTION. VEHICLE WILL ONLY DRIVE CORRECTLY IN 2 WHEEL DRIVE.
CODE P0300 AND P050D KEEP ON BEING THROWN. VEHICLE STARTED HAVING THESE ISSUES BACK WHEN I HAD 30K MILES AND NOW AT 45K, I AM GETTING THEM MORE OFTEN. THE DOWNSHIFTS BECAUSE OF THIS ARE BAD, THE VEHICLE JERKS WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS. FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS REAR-ENDING YOU. VEHICLE SOMETIMES SHAKES AND SOUNDS LIKE ITS MISFIRING. I CAN SOMETIMES TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND TURN BACK ON AND IT WILL WORK FINE LIKE NOTHING IS WRONG. CHEVY WANTS $150 TO DIAGNOSE AND ABOUT $12000 TO REPLACE INJECTORS SINCE THEY ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR BUMPER TO BUMPER OR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THAT'S PRETTY BAD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DO A MAJOR REPAIR ON A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT THAT OLD AND HAS TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET.
WHEN REVERSING SLOWLY THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HAD TO PUSH TO STOP USUALLY AFTER PUSHING IT MORE THAN ONE TIME.
IT IS VERY HARD TO STOP THE TRUCK AT LOW SPEEDS (1-5MPH). THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE BEING APPLIED. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST WEEK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THANKFULLY, WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT, BUT IT COULD CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT OR OTHER TRAFFIC SITUATION. AFTER READING, IT APPEARS THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME, BUT I DON'T SEE A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NEW.
TRUCK WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SUBSEQUENT RESTARTS OF THE TRUCK RESULTED IN THE CODE CLEARING ITSELF AND NORMAL START UP. NOW IT IS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING UP ON A COLD START, ESPECIALLY WITH REMOTE START.
TRANSMISSION FAILED WITH JUST OVER 102,000 MILES ON IT. I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND ATTEMPTED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE. IT WENT NOWHERE - FORWARD REVERSE BOTH DONE. TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP.
APRIL 04,2021. STOPPED FOR TRAFFIC ON I-10 , 17 MILES EAST OF LAFAYETTE .LA. WHILE SITTING APPROX. 10 TO 12 FEET BEHIND THE AUTO , A FORD 350 WITH A TRAILER STRUCK ME FROM BEHIND AT APPROX. 50 PLUS MPH. THE IMPACT PUSHED ME INTO THE CARIN FRONT. TOTALLY DESTROYED THE REARED. MY REARED AND FRONTEND WAS DAMAGE. MY FRONT BUMPER CAVED IN. AFTER IMPACT, MY TRUCK CAB FILLED WITH SMOKE. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. MY AIR BAG LIGHT DISPLAYED THAT BAGS WAS DEPLOYED BUT THEY DIDN'T. GOT OUT OF TUCK BECAUSE AT THE TIME, I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS HAPPENING. AFTER SUCH AN SERIOUS IMPACT FROM THE BACK AND FRONT, I WAS VERY DISCOURAGE THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS THEY WERE SUPPOSE TO
RADIO WILL FLASH BRIGHT LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE RADIO AND WILL CHANGE STATION AND SETTING ON TRUCK WHEN MOVING DOWN THE ROAD AND WHEN PARKED WILL CONNECT TO PEOPLE PHONE BY IT'S SELF NEXT TO ME
TWICE ON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING (THE COLUMN UNLOCKED)WOULD NOT STEER. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE COLUMN NO MATTER IF I MOVE IT FORWARD OR REVERSE. NO AMOUNT OF TWISTING WOULD ALLOW IT TO STEER. I WORRY IT MAY FAIL IN ACTION ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER SAID THE STEERING MODULE NEEDED UPDATING AND THEN BECAUSE IT WAS 57 MILES OUT OF WARRENTEE CHARGED ME $186. NO GARRENTEE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
POOR BRAKING AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE CODES.
RADIATOR FAILED AT 58K MILES IN DECEMBER 2019. DEALER INDICATED THAT THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE COSTS TO REPAIR. QUOTED COST WAS $3800. REPAIRED AT INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR $2900. NOW, MARCH 2021, THE RADIATOR HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 78K MILES. NORMAL CITY DRIVING. NO OFF-ROADING OR RACING. THIS FAILURE CAUSES OIL TO MIX WITH COOLANT. MANY MECHANIC LABOR HOURS REQUIRED AS BOTH COOLING AND OIL SYSTEMS NEED TO BE THOROUGHLY FLUSHED TO REMOVE RESIDUAL COOLANT AND OIL.
THE CLUTCH TORQUE CONVERTERS WEAR OUT SO FAST AND THEY WEAR OUT SO CLOSE TO THE END OF THE VEHICLES WARRANTY
I NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES IT FEELS THAT IT IS NOT CATCHING THE GEAR AND WILL SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I'VE SEEN THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS 2017 MODEL YEAR FOR THIS CHEVROLET SILVERADO.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHILE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT RELATED THE FAILURE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SERVICED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.
WHILE PARKING, AT LOW SPEEDS, MY BRAKE PEDAL TURNED STIFF AND I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO PUSH IT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M AT A LOW SPEED AND CAN BE MADE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR A GOOD WHILE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A RECALL, WHICH I DON'T PERSONALLY THINK THEY DID. I THOUGHT THE RECALL WAS TO FIX THIS LOW SPEED ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF THE 2017 SILVERADO'S. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SITUATION OF LOW SPEEDS. I TOW A BOAT AND IT DOES IT WHILE I'M BACKING MY BOAT INTO THE WATER. AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO USE MY BOAT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE? IS IT MY FAULT THAT GM DECIDED TO USE SUBPAR PARTS TO SAVE MONEY? THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL AND PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING YOU CHANGE ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT PARTS IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. RIDICULOUS.
THE TIRES HAVE LARGE CRACKS FORMING IN THE SIDEWALLS. THE CRACKS ARE DEEP AND IT APPEARS MAY RUPTURE AT ANY MOMENT. THE CRACKS ARE WIDE ENOUGH TO EASILY PUT 2 PENNIES IN ND COVER THE TOP OF LINCOLN'S HEAD. NOTICED THIS HAS HAPPENING LAST YEAR, BUT JUST NOTICED HOW BAD IT HAS BECOME.
MY FACTORY INSTALLED SUNROOF EXPLODED FOR NO ADVERSE REASON ON 03/17/2021 AT 1440HRS. THIS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WITH THE SUNROOF IN THE TILT OPEN POSITION AND THE PASSENGER WINDOW OPENED SLIGHTLY. NO INJURIES RESULTED IN THIS INCIDENT .
MY VEHICLE WAS OFF FOR THE NORMAL DAY COMING HOME FROM WORK. I TURNED MY VEHICLE ON TO GO TO THE STORE AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, I THEN WENT TO OREILLYS AND GOT A FREE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, CAME BACK WITH CODE U1501 LIN BUS 1. WHILE DRIVING TO MY HOME FROM OREILLYS, I MADE A SLIGHT TURN TO MY DRIVEWAY AND MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND STARTED IT UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED A SECOND AGO. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS CODE AND THE MAKE,MODEL, YEAR OF THIS ISSUE, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AND IT WAS MORE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MADE MY VEHICLE STALL WHILE DRIVING IT THAN ACTUALLY GIVEN THE TIME TO ENJOY THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME CONSIDER SWITCHING TO FORD.
BODY PAINT CHIPPING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN ABOUT A YEAR OLD.
WHEN DRIVING LOW SPEEDS STABILITRAC APPEARS ON SCREEN AND TRUCK WANTS TO TURN OFF,DISPLAY SCREEN AND GAUGES FLICKER.
WHILE DRIVING TO THE STORE THE REAR GLASS BLOW UP FOR NO REASON, DEALERS SAID IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE REAR DEFROST. MY CAR GOT FULL OF SMOKE, I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO CATCH ON FIRE.
STARTING LOCKED UP, TRUCK STALLED AND RESTARTED WHILE MAKING A TURN
MY TRUCK SHIFTS SO HARD IT WAKES UP MY BABY IN THE BACK SEAT AND WHEN U ARE REALLY GOING SLOW IT CLUNKS HARD AND EVERY CHEVY DEALER SAYS IT'S NORMAL IT'S NOT NORMAL WHEN IT'S HITTING THAT HARD IT'S WAKING MY BABY. MY TRUCK HAS ALSO BEEN TO THE DEALER 10 PLUS TIMES ALREADY AND ONLY OWNED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS DRIVING AT 55 MPH, WHEN THE VEHICLE JERKED AND STALLED. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HER HUSBAND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE TO DROVE TO THE RESIDENCE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO POHANKA CHEVROLET (13915 LEE JACKSON MEMORIAL HWY, CHANTILLY, VA 20151) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INFORMED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. ## VIN PASSED ## CHEVROLET 2017 SILVERADO ##
THE VEHICLE THROWS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT RANDOMLY (AVG ONCE EVERY 2 MONTHS). IT OCCURS AROUND 65 MPH (INTERSTATE) WHICH, LEADS ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A MISFIRE ON ONE OF THE CYLINDERS. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND A DIAGNOSTIC COMPLETE. SPARK PLUGS WERE CHANGED AND THEY SAID IT FIXED THE ISSUE; YET IT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. I NOTICE NO POWER LOSS WHEN IT COMES ON (BLINKS). THIS LIGHT BLINKS ROUGHLY 30-45 SECONDS AND GOES OFF.
TRANSMISSION MADE A LOUD WHINING SOUND AND THEN GAVE OUT. ERROR CODES P0700 AND P0796
TRANSMISSION SHUDDER.
VEHICLE WAS REMOTE STARTED IN DRIVEWAY. BEFORE THE 1ST CYCLE RAN OUT AND SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE I OPENED THE REAR DOOR AND BLACK SMOKE CAME OUT AND COULD SEE SMOKE EMITTING FROM BEHIND THE HEADRESTS OF THE BACK SEAT BY THE SLIDER REAR WINDOW. THE REAR DEFROST HAD STARTED ON FIRE. THE REAR WINDOW ON DRIVER SIDE SPIDERWEBBED WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS 7 DEGREES WITH WINDCHILL BELOW 0. NO RECALL LISTED HERE IN US AT THIS TIME I COULD FIND. RECALL #192220470 IN CANADA WAS LISTED FOR 2014-2018 TRUCKS.
MY SILVERADO IS EXHIBITING THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES DESCRIBED IN MANY COMPLAINTS HERE ALREADY, I.E., A SLIPPING/SHUDDERING FEELING AS IT PROGRESSES THROUGH THE GEARS AND A FREQUENT CLUNK/BANG AT TIMES WHEN IT DOWNSHIFTS. IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH TIME. I AM SURPRISED THERE IS NOT SOME SORT OF BULLETIN OR RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE CONSIDERING IT IS DESCRIBED SO EXACTLY IN SO MANY DIFFERENT COMPLAINTS. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD CORRECT AT ITS EXPENSE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT UPON MAKING A SHARP TURN TO THE LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT, THE VEHICLE INADVERTENTLY SHUT-OFF WITH SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ONCE THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE VEHICLE WAS EITHER SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL OR PARK IN ORDER TO RESUME NORMAL OPERATION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT DURING ONE OF THE FAILURES, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS INDEPENDENTLY ACTIVATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CALLED MIKE BELL CHEVROLET (1200 N PARK ST, CARROLLTON, GA 30117) WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.
PULLING OUT OF PARKING AND PUSHED ON BRAKES AROUND 4MPH AND PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND TRUCK KEPT ROLLING LUCKY NOBODY WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME .I TOOK IN FOR RECALL FOR SAME REASON AND IT IS STILL DOING WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR . MILEGE IS 33,000 VEHICLE IS PAST 3 YEARS OLD
VERY UPSET THE PAINT ON HOOD AND TOP COMING OFF . WENT BACK TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND COMPLAINED ABOUT IT BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANY THING ABOUT IT . I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUCK AND ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY ! CLEAR COAT COMING OFF, CORROSION COVERED !
WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE POWER TO THE SHUTS OFF AND SECONDS LATER TURNS BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IN SLOW TRAFFIC AND TURING INTO A PARKING LOT. WHEN THE POWER SHUTS OFF I LOST THE ABILITY TO STEER AND BRAKE.
WHEN DRIVING MY 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN TURNING BRINGING MY TRUCK TO AN ABRUPT STOP, WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ALL THE ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AND ON AND MY STABILITRAK MESSAGE POPS ON MY SCREEN FOLLOWED BY SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE. IT STARTED HAPPENING JUST HERE AND THERE ABOUT A MONTH AGO BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE WHEN GAS IS PASS HALF A TANK. I'M REALLY NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS! GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP.
WHEN DRIVING MY 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO AT LOWER SPEEDS MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP WHEN TURNING BRINGING MY TRUCK TO AN ABRUPT STOP, ONCE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STREET. WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS ALL THE ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK SHUT OFF AND ON AND MY STABILITRAK MESSAGE POPS ON MY SCREEN FOLLOWED BY SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE. IT STARTED HAPPENING JUST HERE AND THERE ABOUT A MONTH AGO BUT NOW IT IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY. IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK THIS IS GETTING DANGEROUS! GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP ASAP.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BETWEEN GEARS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK CHEVROLET OF BANGOR (293 HOGAN RD, BANGOR, ME 04401, (207) 945-9401) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED OF A POSSIBLE PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,760.
I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC GOING 5MPH OR LESS. BRAKES KEPT SLIPPING AND HAD TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE MY TRUCK STOP ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MULTIPLE TIMES. BRAKE ASSIST KEPT POPPING UP ON THE DASH. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS.
WHILE IN THE DRIVE THROUGH, MY BRAKES FADED AND MY TRUCK WOULD BARLEY STOP. THE PEDAL FELT DIFFERENT. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY SERVICE "BRAKE ASSIST" WARNING CAME ON. FROM WHAT I READ, IT APPEARS TO VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER TRUCKS MY YEAR ARE EXPERIENCING BUT MINE WASN'T COVERED BY ANY RECALLS??
AT SLOW SPEEDS, TYPICALLY IN PARKING LOTS OR RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH THE BREAKING SYSTEM FAILS AND I HAVE NO BRAKES. THIS HAS OFFERED 3 TIMES. MY TRUCK HAS 38000 MILES.
DRIVING LONG DISTANCES CAUSED BALL JOINTS AND A ARMS TO BREAK. FIRST TRIP WAS RIGHT FRONT A ARM AND BALL JOINT SECOND WAS LEFT FRONT BOTH WERE REPLACED AND A YEAR LATER LEFT FRONT WENT OUT AGAIN THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. NEW TI TIRED WERE WORN OUT ON ONE TRIP.
THE ELECTRICAL WIRES IN MY BACK WINDOW GOT SO HOT IT SHATTERED MY BACK WINDOW. COULD SMELL ELECTRICAL SMOKE POST INCIDENT. REAR DEFROST WAS IN USE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL ON EXACT SAME TRUCK MODEL AND YEAR IN CANADA BUT CURRENTLY NOT IN THE US. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED.
VEHICLE HAS A TICKING NOISE AND UNDER POWERED. TOOK TRUCK TO DEALER. VALVE COVERS REMOVED AND VALVES ARE NOT OPENING COMPLETELY. CAM LOBE IS WORN. REMOVED BOTH CYLINDER HEADS, OIL PAN AND TIMING COVER. REPLACED CAM SHAFT AND ALL 16 LIFTERS, REPLACED THE VLOM.
TRANSMISSION SHUTTERS WHEN ACCELERATING ACCELERATING UPHILL. ACCELERATOR DIFFICULT TO PRESS WHEN ACCELERATING AND MOST TIMES HAVE TO DOWNSHIFT TWO GEARS TO GET UP TO THE DESIRED SPEED AND ELIMINATE SAID SHUTTER
REAR GLASS SHATTERED WITH DEFROST ON. PRIOR TO SHATTERING I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I WAS PARKED IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE THROUGH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD PREVIOUSLY USED THE REMOTE START TO START THE CAR.
MY 2017 (1500) SILVERADO LTZ RUNS ROUGH WHEN EVER THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. IT EVEN RUN ROUGH WHEN IT'S PARKED AND NOT MOVING. THE SHIFTING IS ROUGH AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT, A STOP SIGN OR JUST AT A COMPLETE STOP, I HAVE TO TAKE OFF FAST BECAUSE IF I TAKE OFF SLOWLY, MY TRUCK WILL JERK INCREDIBLY HARD. I TURNED ON MY TRUCK ONE MORNING AND IT JUST WAS SHAKING SO BAD AND OUT OF CONTROL. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS DONE AND I HAVE 3 BAD FUEL INJECTORS. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $1400 FOR THE REPAIRS, NOT HAPPENING. GM HAS ISSUED FREE REPAIRS FOR THESE INJECTORS SINCE THEY'RE A COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THESE TRUCKS BUT THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWING THE FREE REPAIRS DONE IN 13 STATES AND MY STATE, (IDAHO) IS NOT ONE OF THEM. IT'S A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH ONLY 43,000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE A REPAIR THAT'S OVER $1,000 DOLLARS. THAT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME AND IT WOULDN'T SIT RIGHT WITH YOU IF YOU WERE IN MY SHOES. IM AFRAID I'LL BE STRANDED OUT ON THE ROAD WITH A FAIRLY PERFECTLY NEW, LOW MILEAGE TRUCK. THIS IS NOT A OWNERS PROBLEM, IT'S A GM PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THEM, NOT BY THE OWNERS.
WHILE DRIVING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNING RIGHT ALL POWER COMPLETELY QUIT, I WAS STUCK WITH PART OF MY TRUCK IN THE ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS NOTHING, VERY SCARY CARS COMING MY WAY COULDN'T SEE ME AND WERE HONKING WHEN THEY DID. SPEED LIMIT ON ROAD IS 45MPH AND MANY CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME MY POWER CAME BACK ON AND I STARTED BACK UP. THIS TIME I CALLED WRECKER AND BY THE TIME HE ARRIVED I HAD GOTTEN HELP TO PUSH ME OFF THE ROAD. FOR SOME ODD REASON THE TRUCK RESUMED POWER AGAIN AND IS IN MY DRIVEWAY. IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WHICH I HAD BEEN ON THAT NIGHT I MIGHT NOT BE WRITING THIS CONCERN TO YOU TODAY. I HAVE SOME SIMILAR STORIES REGARDING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS YET NO RECALLS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE THIS GOES FRO HERE. THANKS[XXX] MY E-MAIL IS [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 HAS GONE OUT. I AM HAVING TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND MY TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. FROM WHAT I AM READ THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE 2017 CHEVROLET'S. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION AND THE FACT THAT GM WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS.
TRANSMISSION SHUTTER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER FIRST TIME. NO CHANGE. THE SECOND TIME COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES BUT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS.
WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS THE POWER ASSIST FAILS, MOMENTARILY RESULTING IN EXTREME DIFFICULTY TURNING/MANEUVERING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD SURFACE IS BEING DRIVEN ON (PAVED, UNPAVED) AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME RESULTING IN SITUATIONS WHERE I HAVE MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL.
WHILE GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT, AFTER I ORDERED MY FOOD AND LET MY FOOT OFF MY BRAKE TO ADVANCE FORWARD AND STOP AT THE WINDOW TO PAY ABOUT 20-30 FEET AHEAD, I COULD NOT BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP AT THE WINDOW. MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING VERY HARD IT BARELY STOPPED, EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING LESS THAN ONE MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AS NONE OF MY WARNING LIGHTS WERE NOTING ERRORS AND IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. I ONLY LIVE TWO MILES AWAY SO I DROVE HOME VERY SLOW AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SAME ISSUE ON THE DRIVE HOME. HOWEVER, WHEN I PULLED MY TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND I COULD HEAR THE BREAKS DOING SOMETHING WEIRD. I'M TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TODAY TO GET FIXED TOMORROW WHEN THE SHOP OPENS. I DID RECEIVE TWO WARNING MESSAGES VIA TEXT WHEN I GOT HOME. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE ARTICLES I READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THE ARTICLES SAY IT'S OK TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE SAFETY FEATURES DISENGAGE, HOWEVER, MY FEATURES DID NOT DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING AND I'M GLAD A CAR OR PERSON WAS NOT IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND NEEDS ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE AT SLOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COULTER BUICK GMC TEMPE (7780 S AUTOPLEX LOOP, TEMPE, AZ 85284) WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE ISSUE AND A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE WAS SENT OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE THEN INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO FOUND ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JERRY SEINER CHEVROLET (1990 N PINAL AVE, CASA GRANDE, AZ 85122) WHERE THE CONTACT POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS WEARING ON THE FRONT TWO TIRES THAT HE BELIEVED WAS RELATED TO THE SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,700.
WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN A DRIVE THRU OR PARKING LOT, THERE IS A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE BRAKES. THIS REQUIRES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BRAKING PRESSURE TO STOP. FAILURES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR VIBRATION IN THE PEDALS.
I RECEIVE MANY ERROR LIGHTS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 SILVERADO. LIGHTS INCLUDE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEMS SERVICE, AND POWER STEERING DIMINISHED. THE SAFETY COMPLAINT IS DUE TO THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY SHUTTING DOWN AND A SHARP LOSS IN ENGINE POWER AND HARD SHIFTING. ON MANY OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD UNTIL THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I HAVE GONE INTO QUIRK CHEVROLET ON MANY OCCASIONS BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECENTLY CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY AND THEY HAVE SET UP A CASE AND WILL KEEP OPEN UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.
PURCHASED MY VEHICLE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD ZERO ISSUES, OTHER THAN PESKY AFM BULL. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHUDDERING AND JERKING AS IF SLIPPING GEARS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. SOON THEREAFTER, A WHINING NOISE STARTED THAT WAS MORE PREVALENT DURING GEAR CHANGE. SPOKE TO TECHNICIANS AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO THIS SENIOR TECHNICIAN, THEY HAVE FOUND THAT A FLUID SWAP CAN CURE THESE ISSUES BECAUSE THE WHAT IS CALLED FOR FROM FACTORY JUST DOESN'T CUT THE MUSTARD. CHECKED THE SYSTEM, AND TO MY ASTONISHMENT, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICES, HOPING ALL I WOULD NEED STILL IS THE FLUID SWAP, AND NOW THE TECHNICIANS ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO FORK OVER 5K FOR A NEW NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MINE IS SHOT. EVEN MORE TO MY AMAZEMENT, I START LOOKING AROUND ON THIS SITE AND THERE HAVE BEEN A TON OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SURROUNDING THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL TRANAMISSION, AND YET, GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT OR PREVENT THESE PROBLEMS FROM PERSISTING.
TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT, WHILE IN MOTION, WOULD STOP DURING THE TURN AND JERK BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE LOST FOR A SECOND THEN HAVE POWER RESTORED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING UP AND HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO AVOID HITTING AN OBJECT, AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND JERKED BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, RADIO SCREEN WENT BLANK, AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTS WENT OUT BUT ALL POWER CAME BACK ON AFTER A SECOND. THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME SIX TIMES WHILE TRYING TO BACK UP. I HAVE A VIDEO AFTER I BACKED UP AND PARKED AND THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF SO I COULD GET A VIDEO TO SHOW FOR A REPAIR. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS WHEN I WAS ON A 25 MPH TWO LANE ROAD. I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AND AFTER COMING TO A STOP TO LET A CAR GO BY I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE CUT OUT, DOOR LOCKS CYCLED, AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOST POWER MY VEHICLE WAS HALF WAY INTO THE ON-COMING LANE OF THE ROAD I WAS TURNING OFF OF. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER NOW AT AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE VIDEO I HAVE AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRIC STEERING WHILE DOING TEST DRIVES. AS OF NOW I'M NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE FOUND. MECHANIC TOLD SERVICE SUPERVISOR THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING NEEDED TO BE UPDATED IN THE COMPUTER TO SMOOTH OUT THE ISSUES. SINCE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED, NOT SURE IF THIS WILL BE THE FIX. IF VIDEO EVIDENCE IS NEEDED PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL SEND VIDEO.
I NOTICED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS LESS THAN 10MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND VEHICLE KEEPS ROLLING BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAN BE REPLICATED EVERY TIME EVEN WHEN GOING IN REVERSE. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 10MPH, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WORKS JUST FINE. THIS HAS CAUSED A FEW NEAR MISSES WHERE I ALMOST BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING IN REVERSE IN A LOT; ALMOST RAN INTO MY GARAGE DOOR; AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT. IF YOU GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND JUST LIFT YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT APPLYING GAS AND VEHICLE STARTS ROLLING, THEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, IT WILL KEEP ROLLING A FEW FEET BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND ONLY GOES DOWN ABOUT A COUPLE INCHES. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALER.
PRESSING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS (DRIVE THRU, PARKING SPACES) SEEMS TO CAUSE A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE BRAKES. THIS CAUSES INCREASED BRAKING PRESSURE TO STOP. YOU CAN HEAR A TICK COMING FROM WHAT I ASSUME IS THE ABS CONTROLLER. THIS HAPPENS IN FORWARDS AND REVERSE.
THE TRUCK HAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO POP AND JOLT BETWEEN SOME OF THE LOWER, IN -CITY GEARS. IT PUTS A STRAIN ON THE POWERTRAIN AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO JERK AND DELAY FOR A MINUTE.
BRAKES HAVE FLUTTERED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS AT LOW SPEEDS, FEELS LIKE ABS PULSING. IN THE PAST WEEK TO 10 DAYS, BRAKE PEDAL FEELS "DEAD" WHEN I APPLY BRAKES AT LOW SPEED, HAS GONE TO FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE TO BRAKING INPUT. YESTERDAY, WHEN PULLING IN DRIVEWAY TOWARDS GARAGE, MAYBE 3 MPH, APPLIED BRAKES WITH NO RESPONSE. SHIFTED QUICKLY INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED PARKING BRAKE, STOPPING INCHES AWAY FROM GARAGE DOOR. TRUCK WAS IN FOR BRAKE ISSUE RECALL AND WAS RECALIBRATED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2019. APPARENTLY IT NEEDS TO BE RECALIBRATED OR HAVE FURTHER REPAIR.
WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE BREAK PEDAL IT'S NOT SLOWING DOWN AND STOPPING THE TRUCK IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 5X
MY 2017 SILVERADO HAD A RECALL FOR THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED 6 MONTHS AGO. OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND, AN ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELL APPEARED IN THE VEHICLE, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM BEHIND A PLASTIC PART. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE TRUCK OVER AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND EVACUATED MY FAMILY. THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I REMOVED THE FUSE AND RELAYS FOR REAR DEFROST TO PREVENT FUTURE FIRE. CLEARLY THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT ACCOMPLISH FIXING THE SAFETY ISSUE.
I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE STATIONARY, AND BEGAN EXPERIENCING A VIBRATING BRAKE PEDAL/NOISE WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEED (IN DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT). I HAD A 'SERVICE- BRAKE ASSIST' MESSAGE SHOW ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ON 11.3.2020, I EARLY STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT DUE TO A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN EFFORT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THESE SYMPTOMS CONTINUE AT THE MAJORITY OF MY LOW SPEED BRAKES, I HAVEN'T NOTICED IT WHILE ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.
GOT ALERT FROM ONSTAR ABOUT ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM.
TRANSMISSION SLIPS CAUSING TRUCK TO SHAKE WHILE DRIVING
DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD. COMES BACK IN WHEN TURN OF THE VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON ALMOST THROUGH ME IN THE DITCH A NUMBER OF TIMES. JUST LOSSES ALL POWER STEERING ALL AT ONCE.
TRUCK HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING, HARD SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND 2ND TO 1ST ALMOST FEELS LIKE YOU'VE BEEN REAR-ENDED. TRUCK SHAKES AND JERKS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS, TRUCK VIBRATES AT LOW SPEEDS. BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS. THEY TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE PROBLEM. TRUCK HAS 13,000 MILES CHEVY SHOULD MAN UP AND FIX THE PROBLEM. VERY DISAPPOINTED
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED HESITATING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED.

WHEN GOING HIGHWAY SPEEDS, OVER 45 MPH, MY TRUCK HAS A RANDOM SHUDDER THAT FEELS LIKE I AM DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS BUT I AM NOT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS OVER 40 MPH
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED HE HAD DIFFICULTY SHIFTING THE GEAR SHIFTER INTO ANY GEAR. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.
TRANSMISSION TORCH CONVERTER AND CAN NOT KEEP WHEELS BALANCED ARM SUSPENSION CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING
WHILE PARKING THE TRUCK I LOSS ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. ONCE STOPPED AND PARKED I REPEATEDLY PUMPED THE PEDAL WITH NO CHANGES. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE FLUID OR SYSTEM IN GENERAL. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES FOR 10 MINUTES. HE CHECKED THE PADS AND CALIPERS FOR ANY ISSUES WITH NONE BEING FOUND. AFTER PUTTING THE WHEELS BACK ON THE TRUCK IT EXHIBITED A RECURRENCE OF LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE.
TORQUE CONVERTER LOCKING UP ON RANDOM OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING BEFORE SHIFTING PERIOD VERY DANGEROUS WHILE IN TRAFFIC OR TRYING TO TURN. GM TOLD ME THEY KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM OF COURSE AND SAID INSTALL A NEW TRANSMISSION WITH UPDATED PARTS THAT WERE BAD FROM THE FACTORY.
TRANSMISSION ALMOST HAS SOME WHAT OF A SHUTTER WHEN SHIFTING AS WELL AS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHER RPM AND THEN SLOW DOWN QUICKLY HITS HARD AS IF GETTING REAR ENDED
I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION, WHERE I WAS SITTING STATIONARY. THE OTHER VEHICLE HIT ME GOING ESTIMATED SPEED OF 50 MPH. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, YET THE GAS FROM THE AIRBAGS FILLED THE VEHICLE AND SOME OF THE PLASTIC IN THE INTERIOR HAS BEEN BROKEN/DAMAGED. THE POLICE OFFICER ASKED ME IF I "VAPED", THAT IS HOW CLOUDY IT WAS INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND SMELLED LIKE SULFUR. THIS HAS CAUSED GREAT CONCERN THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, YET THE GASES FROM THEM DID.
BREAK FAILURE AT LOW SPEEDS DUE TO LACK OF VACUUM FROM A DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP
THE FACTORY EXTERIOR RADIO GPS ON STAR { SHARK FIN} ANTENNA RUBBER SEAL AND IMPROPERLY GM DESIGNED PART AND IMPROPERLY LOCATED WATER DRAIN HOLE ALLOWED WATER TO DRAIN INTO THE VEHICLES INTERIOR AND SHORT OUT THE RADIO, GPS AND ONSTAR FUNCTIONS,ON 9/17/2020 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS CHARGED 135.00 AND WAS TOLD THAT GM IS NOT GOING TO REPAIR THE PART AND SEAL WHICH COMES ON THE NEW PART TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE NEW REPLACEMENT PART HAS A NEW SEAL DESIGN AND RELOCATED WATER DRAIN HOLE TO CORRECT GM KNOWN ORIGINAL DESIGN FLAW WHICH CAUSED THE LEAK AND MALFUNCTION OF MY RADIO GPS AN ONSTAR.THIS ISSUE HAS HAPPEN ON MANY GM VEHICLES WITH THIS TYYPE {SHARK FIN} ANTENNA
I LOST MY POWER STEERING AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS I NEED A NEW PCM PART NUMBER 19417067. VERY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE OF THREE YEARS AND LESS THAN 30,000 MILES
THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WITH THE HEAT ON FULL, HEATED SEATS ON, AND THE REAR DEFROST. I SMELT SMOKE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE CAR. I LOOKED IN MY BACK SEAT TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY REAR WINDOW. I DID NOT OPERATE MY REAR POWER WINDOW AT ANY POINT TODAY. I STOPPED AND LOOKED CLOSER TO SEE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL MELTING BEHIND THE REAR PASSENGER HEAD REST (SEE PICTURE). SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD POP, IT WAS THE REAR WINDOW BREAKING. THE WHOLE THING DID NOT BREAK, JUST THE 1/3 ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE I USED THE REAR DEFROST. I'M VERY HAPPY NOTHING CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MY BACK SEAT WAS EMPTY. WHEN I DROVE HOME THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS, THE REAR DEFROST WAS OFF BUT NOW I HAVE A SHATTERED. I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN MY TRUCK BED THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN THE WINDOW, I BELIEVE THE HEAT FROM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSED IT TO SHATTER. I HAVE SEEN THAT CANADA HAS RECALLED THIS TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND WHO IS GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.
I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT TEMPORARILY AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY BUT THEN A MONTH LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN TURNING RIGHT INTO A DRIVEWAY EXCEPT THIS TIME THE TRUCK COMPLETELY STALLED AND WENT POWERLESS. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GURANTEE A FIX BUT STATED THEY DISCONNECTED AND CLEANED A FEW GROUNDS BEFORE REATTACHING THEM. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DECLINED TO ASSIST AT ALL WITH COVERING THE SHOP CHARGES. THE TRUCK THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES.
THE MYLINK RADIO SYSTEM IN MY 2017 SILVERRADO HAS DEVELOPED A MNID OF ITS OWN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE TRUCK IS SITTING STILL OR MOVING. TURN RADIO ON AND IN JUST A FEW SECONDS THE RADIO STARTS THE BROWSE FUNCTION. IT STARTS SCROLLING ALL THE STATIONS AND ON MY LITTLE SCREEN ABOVE MY STEERING WHEEL GOES TO AUDIO FUNCTION DISABLING MY SPEED READOUT. ALSO EFFECTS THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WHERE THE MAP JUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND DISPLAYS LOCATIONS OFF AND ON. ON THE HOME SCREEN THE APPS JUST KEEP SCROLLING BY NEVER STOPPING. IT IS LIKE THE SYSTEM HAS A GHOST IN IT. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AS THE SCREEN KEEPS CHANGING. NOW I AM LEAVING THE RADIO OFF. CAN NOT USE MY NAVIGATION WHICH I PAY FOR EVERY YEAR, ALSO SOMETIMES THE TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT RESPOND. MY TRUCK HAS 50,800 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK ON OCTOBER 31 2017. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY WITH THE MYLINK RADIO SYSTEM IN OTHER CHEVY PRODUCTS. ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE APPROX. COST TO REPLACE OR FIX IS APPROX. 1000.00. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM APPRX 2.5 MONTHS A ND HAS STEADLIY GOTTEN WORSE. AM AFRAID THE THE HMI MODULE MAY GO OUT AND RENDER MY TRUCK USELESS
HAVE NOTICE A ROUGH SHIFT FROM 1-2GEAR OR 2-1GEAR, SPECIALLY WHEN GOING UP HILL & I LET MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. HUGE BANG LIKE IF THE GEARS WERE OR ARE SLIPPING IN THE TRANSMISSION OR REAR END. I HAVE AN LTZ 4X4 WITH APPROX. 76K MILES ON IT. GOING TO TAKE IT IT THE SHOP & SEE WHAT THEY SAY
I WAS DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AT AROUND 35MPH, STEERING GOT REAL STIFF, AND THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE BACK TO CENTER, SHORTLY AFTERWARDS ALL POWER STEERING ASSIST WENT OFF. WAS ABLE TO GET TO SAFETY BUT THINGS WOULD'VE BEEN A LOT WORSE IF THERE WAS TRAFFIC.
TRANSMISSION JERKS IN & OUT OF GEAR WHILE UNDER MILD ACCELERATION FROM A DEAD STOP OR WHILE TURNING A CORNER.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED INTERMITTENTLY.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,400.
POWER ASSIST IS WORKING INTERMITTENTLY. ON AUGUST 14TH AT 5: P.M, I TURNED ON MY VEHICLE AND BEFORE I PLACED IT INTO REVERSE, I NOTICED THAT THE POWER ASSIST NOTICE CAME ON AND STEERING WAS NEARLY LOCKED, VERY HARD TO STEER. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INDICATED YESTERDAY THAT IT WAS WORKING FINE AND THEN TODAY THEY SAID IT LOCKED ON THEM TOO. THEY RECOMMEND I TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO CHECK.
VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR INCREASED BRAKE PRESSURE AT LOW RPM. RECALL SERVICE PERFORMED AT DEALER. VEHICLE STILL HAS INCREASED BRAKE EFFORT ISSUE AFTER SERVICE WAS COMPLETED.
FROM PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE THE ENGINE HAS RUN ROUGH. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER MANY TIMES; NOW WAY BEYOND THE WARRANTY. RECENTLY THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING SO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS SUGGESTED TO CHANGE. NO FIX TO THIS ISSUE AS IT HAS CONTINUED AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME WELL JUST CHANGE THE TRANSMISSION!!
PAINT IS VERY WEAK/FRAGILE. EASILY CHIPS AND PEELS OFF.

I NOTICE A BURNT SMELL UNDER THE TRUCK AFTER COMING HOME AND SEEN OIL ALL UNDER MY TRUCK. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AFTER I SEEN A HUGE LEAK . I FILLED IT UP WITH OIL AND TOOK IT TO THE DEAL STATED 2 ENGINE SEAL OPEN WHEN ENGAIN HAD PRESSURE DURING A DRIVE . THIS HAPPEN AROUND 74 TO 75,000 MILES BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DEAL IT BARLEY HAD OIL I HAD TO PAY 800 DOLLORS OUT OF POCKET.
MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN REVERSE WITH ANY TYPE OF INCLINE. WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO A DRIVEWAY, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAVE BACKED UP ON AN INCLINE, WITH OR WITHOUT A TRAILER OR BOAT ATTACHED TO MY TRUCK.
MY 2017 SILVERADO 1500, WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT WAS IDLING ROUGH AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME. SO WHEN I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN FOR A SECOND RECALL. THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD DO A DIAGNOSTIC. WELL THEY SAID IT WAS MISS FIRING DUE TO BAD FUEL INJECTOR CYLINDER 8 WASN'T WORKING SO THEY GAVE ME A PRICE OF 1500 TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNFORTUNATELY WE JUST GOT OUT FROM THE FACTORY WARRANTY AND HAD EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT DIDN'T COVER FUEL INJECTORS SO WE PUT LUCAS FUEL INJECTOR CLEANER AND IT HELPED. IT SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS REASON.

WHILE DRIVING, WARNING MESSAGE ON DIC COMES ON AND SAY POWER STEERING NEEDS SERVICE. POWER STEERING COMPLETELY FAILS. TRUCK BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. NOT ONLY DOES IT NOT HELP, BUT THE STEERING MOTOR MAKES IT HARDER TO TURN. THIS IS THE THIRD EPISODE OF THIS.THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT RESET. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULD SEE CODES IN HISTORY BUT COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM SO UNLESS IT WAS ACTIVELY DOING IT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD FIX (COST ME $200) THE SECOND TIME IT RESET BEFORE I COULD MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. THIS TIME IT HAS LASTED TWO DAYS.IF IT DOESN'T RESET I WILL TAKE IT IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT FOR THEM TO LOOK AT.
A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING FROM DEALER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOLID. BROUGHT TO DEALER. VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH..DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE AS FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY REPLACED THE PART THROUGH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON BLINKING SAME ISSUE VEHICLE SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH. TOOK TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THEY DIAGNOSED AS BAD FUEL INJECTOR. THEY CLAIMED THE ECM WENT BAD CAUSED BY THE BAD FUEL INJECTOR. THEY REPLACED ECM AND FUEL INJECTORS COSTING THOUSANDS. THEY CONVINCED ME I HAD TO PAY FOR A "PLATINUM FUEL INJECTION SERVICE" AFTER IT WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS ANOTHER $300. I WAS PROMISED THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. I WAS TOLD IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR SAME ISSUE IT WOULD BE COVERED "UNDER GOOD FAITH"...WELL 2 WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AFTER HARDLY EVEN USING THE TRUCK... I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK FOR A PLANNED FAMILY EVEN AND HAD TO PULL OFF IN THE SWELTERING HEAT TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET MY VEHICLE....NOW IT SITS OVER AT THE DEALER AGAIN...THEY WANT ME TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC AGAIN. AND IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN LOOKED AT. FOR THE AMOUNT I PAID FOR THIS TRUCK IT IS DANGEROUS UNTRUSTWORTHY AND EMBARRASSING. AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS FOR FUEL INJECTORS GONE BAD AT EARLY LIFE, WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?
OUR 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WAS PURCHASED NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST 2017. THE TIRES THAT CAME WITH THE TRUCK ARE CONTINENTAL CROSSCONTACT LX20. I BEGAN TO NOTICE CHUNKS OF RUBBER TREAD COMING OFF OF ALL 4 TIRES WHEN THEY HAD APPROXIMATELY 27,000 MILES. I HAD THEM INSPECTED AT THE DEALERSHIP DUE TO SAFETY CONCERNS. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL WEAR FOR THESE TIRES. THE TIRES ARE RATED FOR 70,000 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE 36,500 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND TOOK IT IN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND TIRE ROTATION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO PITTING AND CHUNKING. THERE IS GOOD TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES, HOWEVER THE RUBBER IS COMING OFF IN HUGE CHUNKS ON ALL 4 TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER HAS BEEN CONTACTED TO ADDRESS MY CONCERNS.
WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL WILL RAPIDLY JERK AND THEN I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION CODE OF C0545, WHICH IS A POWER STEERING TORQUE SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED AND UPDATED.
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE POWER STEERING WILL GO OUT AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS RAPIDLY WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC. I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD A MALFUNCTION CODE OF C0545, WHICH IS A STEERING WHEEL TORQUE SENSOR MALFUNCTION AND THAT THE POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED.
THE TRUCK GLITCHES TURNS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY OR TURNING SOMEWHERE IT WILL TURN OFF THE STEERING WHEEL GETS HARD AND EVERYTHING TURNS OFF FOR 3 SECONDS AND GOES BACK ON. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN AND REPORTED THIS MORE THAN ONCE AND IF I GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS I AM SUEING THIS COMPANY!
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE TRUCK WAS NEW , WHILE GOING WITH FOOT OFF GAS ABOUT 55 60 MPH AND SLOWER SPEEDS THE TRUCK TRANSMISSION BANGS AS IF THE TRUCK IS BEING REARENDED OCCASIONALLY HAPPENS WHILE ACCELERATING BUT MOST OF TIME WHEN NOT THE DEALER KEEPS DOWNLOADING TRANS INFO AND STATES NO PROBLEM FOUND. GOING STRAIGHT AHEAD. LAST HAPPENED SAT BUT ONGOING FOR 3 YEARS PLEASE HELP
GREETINGS ALL I HAD TO PUT MY TRUCK IN THE SHOP BECAUSE IT STARTED SHUDDERING AT 20 MPH AND I COULD BARELY GET ANYWHERE IN IT. I'M NOT SURE HOW MUCH IT IS GOING TO COST BUT HE SAID YOUR WOULD TAKE CARE OF IT. I WAS WONDERING WOULD PROVIDE THE SHOP WITH A PURCHASE ORDER FOR REPAIRS IF NEED BE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SIR THANKS IN ADVANCE.
I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM I AM ABOUT TO EXPLAIN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK. I WOULD EXPERIENCE AN ABRUPT SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR SHORTLY AFTER STARTING AND ON OCCASION IT WOULD ABRUPTLY SHIFT DOWN FROM SECOND TO FIRST, FEELING AS THOUGH I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. I SCHEDULED MY FIRST ROUTINE SERVICE ON DECEMBER 16, 2017 AT 6217 MILES. THE SERVICE WRITER, AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, ADVISED ME THE COMPLAINT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS "NORMAL", AS THE TRANSMISSION HAD "TO LEARN MY DRIVING HABITS" AND WOULD CLEAR BY MY NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE. MY NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE WAS NOVEMBER 29, 2018, AFTER HAVING ONLY DRIVEN 5,000 MILES AND I AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL TOO NEW AND THAT IT'S NOT COMPLETED LEARNING MY DRIVING HABITS UNTIL AT LEAST 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES. I HAVE SINCE SEARCHED SEVERAL CHEVY TRUCK FORUMS (I.E. CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, GMTRUCKCLUB.COM, AND GM-TRUCK.COM) AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINANTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY OWNERS ACROSS THE STATES. EVERYONE COMPLAINS OF CHEVY NOT ABLE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND CITING "NORMAL" OPERATION. ON MAY 28, 2020 I WROTE TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. ON JUNE 26, 2020 I RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET IN A LETTER STATING THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO CONTACT ME AND IF THERE WAS NO FURTHER ISSUES THEY WOULD CLOSE THE CASE. I CALLED THE NUMBER IN THE LETTER AND SPOKE TO "[XXX]", REFUSING ANY FURTHER IDENTIFICATION, STATING HE WOULD TRY AND GET ME ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED. I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. JUST YESTERDAY, WHILE APPROACHING THE COMMUNITY SECURITY GATE AT MY HOUSING COMPLEX, THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO SECOND, LURCHING FORWARD, REQUIRING ME TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE TO AVOID CONTACT. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS. PLEASE HELP!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
MY AC QUIT WORKING FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT! NO WARNING NO NOISE JUST STARTED BLOWING HOT AIR. IT WORKED ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK AND THE NEXT MORNING WOULD NOT COOL OFF AT ALL
WHILE OPERATING THE MOVING VEHICLE THE TOUCHSCREEN ACTIVATES BY ITSELF CAUSING RADIO TO TURN ON OR OFF, BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY OPERATION. THIS DRAWS ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ROAD AND TO THE ELECTRONIC TOUCH PANEL RESULTING IN A POSSIBLE DISTRACTED DRIVING SITUATION. THE SYSTEM ALSO ACTIVATES OR DEACTIVATES OTHER FEATURES ON THE DISPLAY. *TR
WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED HARD AND SHUDDERED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE MY AUTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS ON. IT CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY WOULD TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE HOOD LATCH NEEDED REPLACED. REPLACED THAT AND 2 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS ON. 3 DAYS LATER, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. HERE I AM, OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND NO WAY TO PAY THE 5,000 IT TAKES TO REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION. AS I AM READING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING, GM WAS AWARE OF AND HASN'T MADE A FIX FOR THIS YET. GM REFUSES TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL.
MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED ON NOVEMBER 11, 2019. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. AS A FEW MONTHS MORE PAST, I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM MUCH AS WE HAVE QUARANTINED DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN MUCH. HOWEVER, SINCE LATE MAY, THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS BOTH MOVING FORWARD AND REVERSE. I HAVE NOW SEEN THE WARNING TO SERVICE THE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE APPEAR ON MY DASH. ON MAY 28TH, 2020, WHILE BACKING OUR BOAT INTO STORAGE, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE STORAGE ENTRY SIDE WALL AS THERE IS A SLIGHT HILL JUST IN FRONT OF OUR STORAGE. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE ENTRY SIDE WALL. THE ISSUE OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAD TO MANEUVER THE BOAT BACK AND FORTH MUCH DIFFERENTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE BRAKING ISSUE. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD A NEW VACUUM BRAKE PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED AND WOULD BE AT CHEVROLET'S EXPENSE. *TR
WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED EXAMPLE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT, MAKING A U-TURN (ONTO MAJOR ROADWAY) COMING TO A STOP THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN LOSING ALL POWER LIGHTS ENGINE SHUTS OFF. STEREO PRESETS ARE GONE YOU HAVE TO THROW THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND RESTART IT MAKING IT A VERY SCARY VEHICLE. A COUPLE WARNINGS COME UP ON THE DIC. CHECK STABILITY TRACK AND OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW. *TR
VEHICLE LOSES BRAKING ABILITY WHEN IN A SLOW-SPEED SITUATION, SUCH AS WHEN PARKING, GOING THROUGH A DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANT, OR WHEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE SITUATION OCCURS. A NOISE MAY OCCUR THAT APPEARS TO BE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TRYING TO ENGAGE. PUMPING THE BRAKES SEEMS TO RESTORE FUNCTIONALITY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT STREET AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING IN STOP-N-GO TRAFFIC, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT CORRECTLY WHILE GOING FROM 4 CYLINDER TO 8 CYLINDER OPERATION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BACHMAN CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 9650 BLUEGRASS PARKWAY, LOUISVILLE, KY 40299, (502) 632-0211) HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR PROVIDE A CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS FILED.

CHEVY ADMITS TO A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TORQUE CONVERTER SHUDDER WHICH HAPPENS BETWEEN 25-65MPH WHEN ACCELERATING. *TR
MY TRUCK BEGAN WITH A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK", OVER THE COURSE OF 48 HOURS IT WENT FROM ON HARD BUMPS AND JUST THE NOTIFICATION, TO NOW CONSTANTLY TURNING ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE ABS, BUT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER OUT OF POCKET. THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE DIAGNOSIS ON IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. IF THE ISSUE MATCHES THE SAME ABS ISSUE AS THE RECALLS FOR 2014-2018 MODELS ON THE SILVERADO, WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO FIGHT THE CHARGES? THE WARNING NOTIFICATION AND ICON WOULD LIGHT UP WHEN EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED. 48 HOURS AGO IT WOULD ONLY DO IT WHEN TURNING AT ALMOST FULL ROTATION, OR DRIVING OVER SOME CRACKS ON THE ROAD. NOW IT JUST DOES IT RANDOMLY AND VERY OFTEN TO WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD SHAKE WHEN APPLIED. POWER ALSO GOES DOWN A BIT, AND THE WHEEL WOULD JERK. PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY AS HOW ALL THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BEFORE THE RECALL WHEN IT REACHED YOUTUBE. IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BE TURNING, THEN THE WHEEL WOULD SPRING BACK INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION. BEFORE THIS NOTIFICATION, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE IT WOULD BE VERY SMOOTH. NOW BECAUSE THE TRUCK THINKS THERE'S SOME KIND OF ABS ISSUE, WHEN I BRAKE, IT WOULD SHAKE THE BRAKE RESPONSE (LIKE OLD CARS BEFORE ABS) AND ALSO MAKE THE VEHICLE VERY UNSTEADY. I CANNOT BRAKE ON A STRAIGHT LINE AS IT WOULD SWAY THE VEHICLE. *TR
LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN IN A SLOW MPH SITUATION SUCH AS DRIVE-THRU OR PARKING LOT SITUATION. REQUIRES SIGNIFICANT PEDAL PRESSURE TO STOP VEHICLE. ALMOST RESULTED IN COLLISION WITH VEHICLE IN FRONT OF MY TRUCK, BUT WAS ABLE TO STEER AWAY BEFORE IMPACT AND STOP SAFELY. MANY REPORT OF VACUUM PUMP ISSUE. SERVICE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE CAME UP AFTERWARDS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, UNINTENDED BRAKING WAS EXPERIENCED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WEBER CHEVROLET CREVE COEUR LOCATED AT 12015 OLIVE BLVD, CREVE COEUR, MO 63141 (314) 567-3300 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EBCM NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED HOWEVER THE FAILURE RECURRED. A FEW WEEKS AGO THE CONTACT ALSO RECEIVED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V761000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER DUE TO IT BEING UNDER WARRANTY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 40,000.
CHILD LOCK FEATURE FOR BACK DOOR WON'T SHUT OFF AND LOCK WILL NOT WORK! THIS HAPPENS WHEN CAR IS ON OR OFF IN PARK. *TR
TRANSMISSION IS CLUNKY AT LOWER GEARS AND DOESN'T SWITCH AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IF I NEED TO ACCELERATE QUICKLY. HARD SHIFTS UP AND DOWN ESPECIALLY AT GEARS 1-3 .
BACKING DOWN BOAT RAMP WITH BOAT I LOSE THE BRAKES AND ROLLS BACKWARDS BRAKE PEDAL PULSE LIKE ABS TRYING TO WORK. THIS HAS HAPPEN ABOUT 6 TIMES NOW ONLY WHEN BACKING DOWN RAMP WITH BOAT OTHERWISE CAN'T RECREATE.
BRAKES HAVE NO POWER ASSIST AT SLOW SPEEDS. STARTED WHEN PARKING SLOWLY IN REVERSE, BUT ALSO CAN DO IT MOVING FORWARD. BRAKES FAIL AND REQUIRE VERY HARD PRESS OF BRAKE PEDAL TO ENGAGE AT ALL! SEEMS LIKE VACUUM PUMP IS GOING OUT. LOOKS LIKE A COMMON COMPLAINT/PROBLEM THAT CHEVY SHOULD RECALL AND HAS NOT. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!
I HAD GM RECALL N192268490 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN 19V645) COMPLETED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. TODAY AS I WAS BACKING UP AT LOW SPEED I ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE DUE TO INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE.
DROVE MY TRUCK AND TURNED THE AIR CONDITIONING ON AND IT BLOWS OUT WARM AIR. DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH THE AC UNTIL TODAY (4-18-2020). I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CONDENSER MALFUNCTIONING. *TR
WHEN SHIFTING FROM P TO D VEHICLE REFUSES TO MOVE FORWARD EVEN AFTER LIGHTLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THEN LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS HESITATION WHILE ENGINE REVS BEFORE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY & UNEXPECTEDLY LURCHES FORWARD. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING A LOUD CLUNK CAN BE HEARD AND FELT COMPARABLE TO BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER DRIVER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP HAS INVESTIGATED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITHOUT A RESOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR
IN MOTION. TRANSMISSION HARD SLIP/KICK RANDOMLY. ALSO AC CONDENSER CRACKED AND LEAKED OUT ALL FREON AT 50000MILES. *TR
WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY; APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, ON A RAINY DAY, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY WOULDN'T GRAB. THEY WERE HARD SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES TWICE AGAIN AND THEY GRABBED SLOWLY BUT THE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD. THAT SAME DAY; WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS A TREMBLING AND A NOISE. THIS MAJOR AND DANGEROUS ISSUE IS INTERMIT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE YET TO FOLLOW-UP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE ENGINE-MOUNTED MECHANICAL VACUUM PUMP. *TR
UPON STARTUP.. ENGINE IDLE WAS ROUGH. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CODE P050D WAS FOUND. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THE INJECTORS ARE BAD
1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFTS ARE HESITANT AND ROUGH, SOMETIMES DANGEROUS CAUSING TRUCK TO JUMP FORWARD. USUALLY IN PARKING LOTS.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN TURN LANE, BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. INTERMITTENT ISSUE. AFTER COUPLE DAYS OF EXPERIENCING, I TAKE TRUCK IN TO FIND OUT ABOUT RECALL. THEY PERFORM REPROGRAMMING. DOESN'T FIX ISSUE. TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THY FIND VACUUM PUMP NEEDS REPLACING. THEY COVERED COST UNDER "SPECIAL COVERAGE" BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S FAULTY (BUT NOT COVERED ALREADY UNDER RECALL?). THEY SAY IT'S FIXED. I PICK THE TRUCK UP, BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON DRIVING OUT THE PARKING LOT. TAKE IT BACK NEXT DAY. THEY TELL ME "PIN" IN THE CONNECTOR IS BROKEN CAUSING "GROUND FAULT." THEY CHARGE ME $500+ TO RUN NEW WIRE IN WIRE HARNESS. SAME CONNECTOR THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE TOUCHED WHILE REPLACING VACUUM PUMP. I PAY TO HAVE PIN FIXED. 3 WEEKS LATER, BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES BACK ON WITH SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. THIS TIME, THEY TELL ME ECBM NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOT JUST REPROGRAMMED. SOMEHOW, THE PRIOR TIMES, THE ERROR CODE WASN'T STORED. A) ERRORS AREN'T BEING STORED B) THEY'RE COVERING THEIR WARRANTY COST BY CHARGING FOR OTHER ADJACENT PARTS C) BRAKE ASSIST ISSUE GOING ON FOR NEARLY 8 WEEKS NOW UNRESOLVED. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE ADJACENT "CONNECTORS" WHICH THE DEALER ADMITS HARDLY EVER FAIL. ALSO SHOULD INCLUDE VACUUM PUMP NOT JUST AS SPECIAL COVERAGE. ALSO, RECALL SHOULD EXPAND TO REPLACE ECBM BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY AREN'T STORING FAULT CODES WHEN THEY OCCUR. I READ THIS SAME THING ACROSS MANY FORUM POSTS ONLINE. ALL THE SAME ISSUES. HARD BRAKING, OR SOFT MECHANICAL BRAKE FEEL. I'VE NOW SPENT 1100 DOLLARS ON A PROBLEM THAT FALLS SQUARELY WITHIN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL. THEY TELL ME THAT "THESE PARTS" AREN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I SAY, EXPAND THE RECALL. RECALL STATES THEY DON'T HAVE TO INCLUDE THIS IN SEC FILINGS. I THINK THEY ARE UNDER REPRESENTING THEIR TRUE COSTS. MY GM CASE #9-5696419690
TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES, THEY FLUSHED THE TRANS 2 OR 3 TIMES THEN FINALLY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION WITH AROUND 60,000 MILES. NOW I'M AT 70,000 MILES AND HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AGAIN. IT SURGES BETWEEN GEARS, SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN REAR ENDED AND SOMETIMES SEEMS TO SKIP A GEAR AND BE IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE CLUCKING INTO GEAR.

RECALL YOUR MISTAKE AND FIX YOUR PROBLEM. DON'T SCREW THE CUSTOMER. I LOCKED UP MY BRAKES BECAUSE THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AND I ALMOST HIT THEM DUE TO MY ABS NOT WORKING I FISH TAILED SIDEWAYS. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. IT IS A BIG ISSUE MANY PEOPLE HAVE SPOKE ABOUT. I ALSO EXPLAINED TO THE GUY WHEN I SCHEDUALE THE RECALL TO BE FIXED AND HE SAID THAT MY LIGHTS OUT A DIFFERENT ISSUE THE RECALL IS JUST A PROGRAM UPDATE FOR SOMETHING WITH THE BRAKES. THEN I BRING IT THERE 45MIN LATER THEY CANT UPDATE THE TRUCK AND COMPLETE THE RECALL DUE TO THE LIGHTS ON IN THE TRUCK!!! I'M JUST UPSET I EXPLAINED EVERYTHING BEFORE APPOINTMENT AND STILL GOT SCREWED. ALSO AFTER LOOKING THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT PROBLEM AS ME.. WEIRD

AS I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET HIGH SPEED LIMIT ALL THE SUDDEN ALL THE WARNING DASH LIGHTS CAME ON ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE IS RUNNING, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND IT TRIED TO SLOW DOWN AND HAD TO APPLY A LOT OF PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL . I DID NOT UNDERSTAND IT. WHEN I STOPPED THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. I TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY AND STARTED IT AGAIN. A COUPLE DAYS LATER I REMOTELY STARTED MY VEHICLE BUT WHEN I GOT IN AND TURN THE KEY ON THE LIGHTS DID NOT GO OFF IMMEDIATELY AS THEY NORMALLY DO.
THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN STARTING IN THE MORNING IT WILL DO ONE OF THREE THINGS: SURGES AND TRANSMISSION SKIPS, HESITATE AND THEN RACE OR JUMP AHEAD, OR CHUNK AND THUNK LIKE IT REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO WORK AND SHIFTS HARD WHEN IT DOES. I KEEP ASKING WHEN GM WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3X, HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTICS RUN, TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND OF COURSE IT HAS NOT HELPED. I AM NOW BRINGING IT BACK TO CHEVY DEALER AND NOW THEY SAY I HAVE TO DO THE NEXT STEP ACCORDING TO GM WHICH IS PUT IN A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. I BOUGHT A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK THAT RUNS LIKE CRAP AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED.
TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL MODULE LIGHT ILLUMINATED IN THE DASH. THIS MAY CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO BE INOPERABLE UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS PART MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH A REPROGRAMMING ISSUE THAT WAS ON ANOTHER RECALL. CUSTOMER IS BURDENED WITH REPAIR COSTS AND THE MODULE IS IN HIGH DEMAND AS PART OF A 'NATIONAL RECALL'. I HAVE BEEN WAITING 6 WEEKS FOR THE BACK ORDERED PART. I WAS TOLD IT WAS DELAYED AS RESULT OF A LABOR STRIKE.
BRAKES SQUEAKED AND TIGHT AND NOT FUNCTIONING RIGHT
THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED WHEN BRAKING ON A SNOWY, ICY, SLIPPERY ROAD LOCKING ALL FOUR WHEELS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SKID OUT OF CONTROL. THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT AND TCS ICON WERE DISPLAYED. THE BRAKES HAD TO BE RELEASED TO REGAIN STEERING CONTROL AND JUDICIOUS USE OF MANUAL BRAKING EVENTUALLY BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE ABS PUMP MOTOR WAS NOTED RUNNING CONTINUOUSLY EVEN WITH THE ENGINE OFF. ONSTAR DIAGNOSTICS INDICATED A TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ERROR. THIS BRAKING FAILURE OCCURRED IN CONDITIONS THAT THE ABS IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO PREVENT LOSS OF CONTROL!

IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY.. AS I SLOW UP TO A SPEED UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR, AS SOON AS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER, EITHER TURNING OFF AND ON FAST THE DASH WILL LOSE POWER BUT THE MOTOR WILL STILL BE RUNNING... SHERRY THIS HAPPENS, THE STEERING FEELS LIKE THERES RESISTANCE TURNING AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND LET IT SIT. OTHER TIMES IT WILL HAPPEN AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE TOTAL POWER,ALMOST LIKE I REMOVED THE KEY BUT THE VEHICLE WILL STILL BE ROLLING. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED TWICE ALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN MOTION AS WELL AND BRAKES ARE NON FUNCTIONING. ITS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND U TURNS. IT NEVER HAPPENS IN REVERSE. ILL NEVER OWN A CHEVY AGAIN...
PAINT SEEMS TO CHIP AND PEEL EXTREMELY EASILY, ESPECIALLY FROM THE FRONT BUMPER
MY 2017 SILVERADO IS EXPERIENCING A VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP IN OCTOBER 2019 FOR THE RECALL PERTAINING TO THIS ISSUE WHERE THEY REPROGRAM THE BRAKING UNIT. I HAD TAKEN IT IN FOR THAT RECALL JUST AS A PREVENTATIVE MEASURE BUT NOW 4 MONTHS LATER I HAVE A VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT SLOW SPEEDS. I HAD NOT HAD A BRAKING ISSUE UNTIL NOW. WHEN IT ACTS UP THE PEDAL IS SO HARD IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE TRUCK. IT SEEMS TO HAVE A HARD BRAKE PEDAL WHEN I'M GOING SLOW AS IN BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC OR PARKING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES OFF AND ON WHILE DOING SO.
WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DURING NIGHTTIME HOURS THE DASHLIGHTS AND NAVIGATION SCREEN WILL TURN TO DAYLIGHT MODE WHICH THEN MAKES THE TRUCK HEADLIGHTS TURN OFF (WHEN IN AUTO MOD) AND THE NAVIGATION SCREEN IS TOO BRIGHT AND DISTRACTS YOU WHEN DRIVING. THE DASH LIGHTS AND NAVIGATION SCREEN WILL RANDOMLY SWITCH BETWEEN DAYTIME AND NIGHT TIME MODE WHEN DRIVING.
HAD RECALL PERFORMED TO ADDRESS HARD BREAKING AT SLOW SPEEDS. NOW THE TRUCK IS HARDER TO STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS AND GM WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY KNOW IT'S THE VACUUM PUMP AND BOOSTER AND EXPECT ME TO PAY FOR IT.
RECALLED AT DEALERSHIP FOR BRAKE SOFTWARE ADJUSTMENT. AFTER RECALL BRAKE PEDDAL PERIODIACLLY IN HOT WEATHER COMPRESSES CO.PLETLY TO FLOOR AND MAKES LOUD SQUEEKING SOUND. TRUCK IS HARD TO STOP WHEN THIS HAPPENS. VEHICLE WS IN SLOW MOVING APPROACH TO PARKING LOT.
THIS COMPLAINT DEALS WITH THE BRAKE RECALL COMING FROM GM. I DID TAKE THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPROGRAMMED. I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE SYSTEM. WHILE IN PARKING LOT GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT PLACED THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND DURING THE PROCESS OF PULLING BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL IT WAS VERY STIFF, IT ACTUALLY SEEMED AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHING BACK AT MY FOOT AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP WHEN IT WAS EXPECTED TO. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO CAR IN THE SPACE IN FRONT OF ME ALLOWING FOR THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS. THIS AT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 73,500 MILES. I DID NOTIFY THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE VACUUM BRAKE PUMP FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, IF CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND LURCHED FORWARD ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, NEARLY STRIKING A PEDESTRIAN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MOUNTAIN VIEW CHEVROLET (2109 E. MAIN STREET, MOUNTAIN VIEW, AR), BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.
THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AT AROUND 65 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ROLLING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. THE DEALERSHIP BALANCED THE TIRES, BUT THE VIBRATION CONTINUES. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE INDICATES IT MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER.
I PICKED MY TRUCK UP FROM THE LOCAL DEALER AFTER HAVING RECALL N192268490 REPAIRED. THE HARD PEDAL ISSUE IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME YOU PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS OK BUT THE SECOND TIME IT HAS LITTLE TO NO POWER ASSIST AND DON'T TRY FOR A THIRD. BY THE THIRD TRY THE PEDAL IS ROCK SOLID AND YOU END UP BACKING INTO YOUR TRACTOR UNDER THE SHELTER. SO IT'S BACK TO THE DEALER IN THE MORNING
I HAVE HAD TWO SETS OF CONTINENTAL TIRES PUT ON MY TRUCK AND THE TREAD KEEPS PEELING OFF OF THEM I CONTACTED CONTINENTAL AND THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO REPLACE THEM UNLESS I PAY A PRORATED FEE AND I SHOULDN'T HAVE TWO OF THE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT I'VE HAD THESE PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES FOR A LONG TIME NOW THE FIRST SET OF TIRES FAILED AT 12500 MILES AND A SECOND SET THAT SPELLED AT 10,000 MILES DOT NUMBER IS A32AWD40 P 275 /55 R 20 CROSSCONTACT LX 20 1111T

SAFETY RECALL CALIBRATION TO VAPOR BRAKE SYSTEM DONE. AFTER RECALL COMPLETED BRAKES WHEN PUMPED MORE THAN 1 TIME THE BRAKE PEDAL RECEDES TO LOWEST LEVEL BEFORE STOPPING AND OTHER INSTANCES BRAKE PEDAL ONLY COMPRESSES DOWN SLIGHTLY WITH INCREASED EFFORT TO STOP. A LOAD SQUEAKING NOISE IS ASSOCIATED WITH BRAKE PEDAL GOING DOWN FAR TO FLOORBOARD. BEFORE RECALIBRATION OF VAPOR SYSTEM PER RECALL NOTICE THIS WAS NOT AS FREQUENT A PROBLEM. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IS NOT ACKNOWLEDGING OR REPRODUCING THIS ABSENT PROBLEM. THEY REFUSE TO ASSIST FURTHER AS PER CEVROLET CUSTOMER SUPPORT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR UNLESS THEY DRIVE AND FIND PROBLEM. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS NO PROBLEM THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION COMING TO A HOPEFUL STOP WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS

I'VE NOTICED SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNER SHIP BACK IN 2018, THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I OWN A 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. NOT ONLY HAD IT BEEN DISCOURAGING, IT'S DISTURBING, AND POSSIBLY EVEN UNSAFE. FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THERE IS A HARD SHIFT IN THE TRANSMISSION. AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD CLUNK AND IT JERKS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE FACT I SPENT $50,000 ON THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW AND HAVE GOT NOWHERE WITH THE PROBLEM IS OUTRAGEOUS. I ALWAYS BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE IT RADICALLY. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS 'LEFT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE' RIDICULOUS LIES. AND IF THAT WAS THE CASE WHY DID THEY 'UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER.' REGARDLESS, ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS FROM GM HAVE BEEN SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER STOPPED. I'VE GOTTEN REPLIES FROM SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYING 'THEY ALL DO THAT' OR 'IT'S FINE' SO TIRED OF GETTING NOWHERE. GM SHOULD BE REPLACING EVERY SINGLE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. I AM WORRIED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AT ANY TIME. NEW VEHICLES SHOULD NOT DRIVE LIKE THIS.
WHEN BRAKING AND VEHICLE IS SLOWING TO A STOP ENGINE SPEEDS UP JUST BEFORE STOPPING AND VEHICLE SURGES FORWARD NECESSITATING INCREASED PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDAL. HAPPENS EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS COMING TO A STOP. EXTREMELY DISCONCERTING PROCEEDING DOWN A STEEP HILL.
TRANSMISSION IS CONSTANTLY JERKING AND HARD SHIFTING. IT ALSO LAGS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. TRIED TO GET IT LOOKED AT UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD "WELCOME TO THE FUTURE" BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE OR LOOK AT IT. FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF, WHY EVEN OFFER WARRANTIES?
THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CORD WAS RECALLED ON MY 2017 CHEVY DURAMAX DIESEL. I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON AUGUST 21, 2019 FOR THE RECALL AND THE CORD WAS SIMPLY CUT OFF. AT THAT TIME THERE WAS NOT A REMEDY FOR THE RECALL. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TODAY, NOVEMBER 12, 2019, TO CHECK ON THIS RECALL AS THE TEMPERATURE IN KANSAS IS BECOMING VERY COLD AND I AM NEEDING THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER. I SPOKE WITH SABRINA AND HER SUPERVISOR MICHAEL WHO BOTH INFORMED ME THE NEW ENGINE BLOCK HEATER CORD HAS BEEN RELEASED TO COLD WEATHER STATES, NOT KANSAS. THE ONLY WAY FOR ME TO GET THE CORD FOR MY TRUCK WOULD BE TO DRIVE TO COLORADO, THE CLOSEST STATE TO KANSAS THAT THE CORD HAS BEEN RELEASED TO. COLORADO IS OVER 8 HOURS FROM ME, NOT TO MENTION THE TEMPERATURE IS CURRENTLY COLDER IN KANSAS THAN COLORADO. THIS IS JUST VERY FRUSTRATING, I PAID FOR THE ENGINE BLOCK HEATER ON MY TRUCK SO I CAN USE IT. I GOT NOTICE OF THIS RECALL IN MAY OF 2019, NOW IT'S NOVEMBER WITH VERY COLD WEATHER AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.

IF THERE HAD BEEN A PEDESTRIAN OR VEHICLE CLOSE, I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. BRINGING VEHICLE IN AFTER THE FACT WOULD BE TOO LATE. MY VEHICLE QUALIFIED FOR THE FREE REPAIR SO IT IS BEING REPAIRED NOW.

WHEN COMING TO STOP MY TRUCK REGULARLY HAS VERY HARD DOWNSHIFTING. ALONG WITH A VERY AUDIBLE 'CLUNK' FROM THE REAR END, I WILL EXPERIENCE A FEELING THAT I CAN ONLY DECEIVE AS BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS RESULTS IN SOMETIMES HAVING TO BRAKE HARDER AS YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR GOING TO MOVE FORWARD RAPIDLY. A VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE HAPPEN WHEN PULLING OUT SLOWLY IN LOW GEARS. THESE TWO COMBINED CAN BE EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AS WELL AS JUST VERY OBNOXIOUS/ANNOYING WHEN DRIVING IN A YIELDING SITUATION.
I WAS TOWING MY TRAVEL TRAILER AND THE BRAKES FAILED,I TOTALED THE CAMPER IN FRONT OF ME.THE NOTIFICATION LETTER FROM GM SAID EVEN IN THE HARD PEDAL SITUATION THE BRAKES ARE STILL IN SAFETY SPECS, NOT WITH A 7,000 LB TRAILER BEHIND THE TRUCK.I FEEL GM SHOULD COVER THE COSTS OF DAMAGE AND UPDATE THE LATEST NOTIFICATION LETTER TO INCLUDE LETTING THE PEOPLE WHO TOW KNOW THEY AREN'T GOING TO STOP IN TIME. ALSO GM PULLED THE DATA FROM MY TRUCK, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, AND DIDN'T INSPECT THE VACUUM PUMP OR THE HOOD, BUMPER, GRILL OR FENDERS ALL WERE THROWN AWAY. THE INVESTIGATOR THAT PULLED THE DATA SAID IT WAS INCOMPLETE YET GM SAYS IT'S NOT THEIR PROBLEM THERE WERE NO CODES PRESENT AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT.

TRANSMISSION SHUDDER AT SPEED. HARD SHIFTS AT SLOW SPEED. APPEARS TO BE WELL DOCUMENTED ACROSS THIS SITE AND OTHER FORUMS. IT APPEARS THE OIL USED IN THE TRANSMISSIONS WAS DEFECTIVE (PER CHEVY) . TSB - 16-NA-175 AND TSB 18-NA-355. HOPEFULLY ADDING TO THE LONG LIST OF COMPLAINTS HELPS GET CHEVY TO ISSUE A "RECALL" OR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH THE FLUSH PROCEDURES OR SIMILAR FIXES.
HARD DOWNSHIFTING WHEN GOING DOWN HILLS AT SLOW SPEED. JERKING AND CLUNKING NOISE, AND RPM GOES UP AND SOUNDS LIKE GEARS ARE GRINDING. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME NOTHING IS WRONG. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I AM GOING DOWN A HILL WITH THE BREAKS APPLIED AND GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. THE TRUCK JERKED SO BAD THAT THE SEAT BELT LOCKED.
A 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH A 5.3L AT 80000 MILES THE WATER PUMP WENT BAD I HAD A 2006 SAME TRUCK AND IT WAS 200000+ .MILES BEFORE I HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT HAD THE WATER PUMP ISSUE SO SOON OR IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK THAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO, ALSO EXCESSIVE NOISES FROM THE TRANSMITION WHEN UP OR DOWN SHIFTING AT LOW SPEEDS AND IS LIKE IF STRUGGLED TO DOWN SHIFT WHEN YOU NEED IT LIKE WHEN YOU NEED TO PASS A CAR IN FRONT OF YOU MOST TIMES YOU HAVE TO GIVE IT EXCESSIVE THROTLE AND ONLY THEN IT DOWNSHIFTS IN A VIOLENT MANNER, AGAIN DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS ONLY HAPPENING TO ME OR IF THERE IS SOMEONE ELSE OUT THERE WITH THE SAME TRUCK HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES, THANKS.
PASSENGER AIR BAG OFF LIGHT INOPERABLE. CHECK 4 WHEEL DRIVE WARNING COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALER CHARGED $138.00 BUT COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS. THIS OCCURS WHEN DRIVING.
POWER BRAKE FAILURE PEDAL IS DIFFICULT TO PUSH TAKES LONGER TO STOP VEHICLE BRAKE PEDAL SEEMS HIGHER HAVE TO BREAK WITH 2 FEET
TRUCK DOWN AND UPSHIFTS HARD. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A CAR IN FRONT OF ME, WHEN I GET BACK ON THE GAS, THE TRUCK HAS NO POWER LIKE IT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT GEAR TO BE IN. MAKES A LOUD CLUNKING NOISE WITH LIGHT ACCELERATION FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR. THERE IS MAJOR HESITATION WHEN TRYING TO DOWN SHIFT NO MATTER WHAT GEAR I'M IN. PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED. BEEN TO CHEVY 3 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND ALL THEY TELL ME IS THE TRANSMISSION WILL LEARN HOW YOU DRIVE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THERE IS NO NEW UPDATE FOR THE TRANSMISSION MODULE SO I'M SCREWED.
GOING FROM 40 TO 5MPH BREAKS FEEL LIKE IS LOCKING FOR COUPLE OF SECOND AND BACK TO NORMAL,ANY SPEED BEFORE STOPS TRUCK HAS A LITTLE HESITATION BEFORE BREAKING.
THE 8-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION EXHIBITS NUMEROUS ISSUES. 1) WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO UNDER 10 MPH, AS IF YOU WERE YIELDING TO TRAFFIC AND THEN PRESSING THE THROTTLE TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, TWO ISSUES CAN OCCUR. FIRST, THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION CAN HESITATE BETWEEN GEARS, PROVIDING NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. SECOND, WHEN VEHICLE DOES SHIFT INTO A GEAR, THE VEHICLE CAN LURCH FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AS IF YOU WERE HIT FROM BEHIND. THERE IS SOMETIMES AN AUDIBLE "CLANK" WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. THIS ISSUE CAN PREVENT A DRIVER FROM SUCCESSFULLY ENTERING TRAFFIC DUE TO LOSS OF INSTANT POWER TO THE WHEELS. 2) DURING LOW-SPEED ACCELERATION, THE VEHICLE CAN HESITATE BETWEEN THE FIRST THREE GEARS, PROVIDING NO POWER TO THE WHEELS. IT HAS A SIMILAR FEEL TO A TRANSMISSION THAT WAS SLIPPING. THIS CAN CAUSE A DRIVER TO OVER-CORRECT THE DEFICIENCY IN POWER TO THE WHEELS BY APPLYING EXCESSIVE THROTTLE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 3) WHEN PROCEEDING SLOWLY IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE VEHICLE CAN SHIFT UP OR DOWN SUDDENLY, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY. THERE IS SOMETIMES AN AUDIBLE "CLANK" WHEN THIS ISSUE OCCURS. THIS CAN CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STRIKE THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE, IN TIGHT TRAFFIC, IF THE DRIVER ISN'T PREPARED TO APPLY THE BRAKE WHEN THE EVENT OCCURS. 4) WHEN DRIVING NORMALLY, THE TRANSMISSION MAY HESITATE TO DOWNSHIFT WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS APPLIED AS WOULD BE NECESSARY WHEN TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE. THIS DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE GEAR DEPENDENT. THE LOSS OF INSTANT POWER CAN PREVENT THE DRIVER FROM SUCCESSFULLY OVERTAKING ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THEY NEED TO CONDUCT A PASSING MANEUVER.
BRAKES DID NOT KICK IN WHEN I TRIED TO AVOID HITTING A CAR THAT SLAMMED THEIR BRAKES ON IN FRONT OF ME. THIS CAUSED AN ACCIDENT, IN WHICH I HAD $8000 + DOLLARS IN FRONT END DAMAGE THAT MY INSURANCE CARRIER PROVIDED. I HAD TO PAY $1000 IN DEDUCTIBLES ALONG WTIH $500 IN RENTALS.
MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBERN192268490 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER19V645 ON AUGUST 14, 2014, I WAS DRIVING THE 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO 4X4 WORK TRUCK ON A RURAL STATE ROUTE IN HOLMES COUNTY, OHIO. I HAD PULLED OFF ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO PICK UP MY TRAFFIC COUNTING EQUIPMENT. ONCE I WAS FINISHED, I PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY TO TURN AROUND. I BEGAN TO BACK OUT OF THE DRIVE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ROCK HARD, I LOST ALL PEDAL AND HAD NO BRAKES. I HIT THE GUARDRAIL THAT WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME WHEN I COULDN'T STOP. NO DAMAGE TO THE GUARDRAIL, BUT PLENTY OF DAMAGE TO MY TRUCK. OBVIOUSLY, I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS RIGHT SO THE VERY NEXT DAY I TOOK THE TRUCK TO PROGRESSIVE CHEVROLET. AFTER TECHS HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK OVER THE VEHICLE, THEY SAID THE VACUUM PUMP WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT WAS REPLACED AT NO COST TO ME. THAT'S ALL WELL AND GOOD, BUT HAD THE VACUUM PUMP NOT FAILED, I WOULD NOT HAVE HIT THE GUARDRAIL.
I WAS PARKING MY TRAVEL TRAILER ON A CAMP SITE AND READJUSTING. I PULLED AHEAD DOWN A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR IN THE TRUCK. I PUSHED THE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD AND STOPPED JUST BEFORE HITTING ANOTHER CAMPER. PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND TRIED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE PEDAL PRESSURE WAS BACK. I WAS THEN ABLE TO FINISH ADJUSTING AND IT DID NOT HAVE THE BRAKE ISSUE AGAIN. IT WAS VERY SCARY WITH KIDS AROUND ETC.
FUEL INJECTOR OR FUEL PUMP DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY. ON TWO (2) DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, MONTHS APART, MY ENGINE HAS LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. BOTH TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS 10 - 15 MPH AND LOW RPMS. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO ONE VEHICLE AND FOR ANOTHER TO ALMOST HIT ME FROM BEHIND AS MY CAR DIED WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OFF A BUSY ROAD. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED IN TWICE, BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND GM BOTH SAY UNLESS THEY CAN DUPLICATE THE ISSUE THEY WILL NOT FIX OR REPLACE ANYTHING. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED/REVIEWED. ON TOP OF THIS, THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP FOR THE BRAKES AND DO A SOFTWARE PATCH UPDATE BECAUSE THE BACKUP CAMERA WAS DANGEROUSLY BRIGHT, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. THE CAMERA ISSUE TOOK 2 VISITS TO 2 DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS TO GET RESOLVED. GM IS PLAYING THE NUMBERS GAME OF HOPING FOR A FINE INSTEAD OF PAYING TO REPLACE ANY PARTS. ESPECIALLY SINCE THEY ARE DEALING WITH A PR BATTLE ABOUT MAKING CARS OUTSIDE OF THE USA. THEY TOOK THE BAILOUT MONEY AND SCREWED AMERICANS.
TAKATA RECALL TOTAL LOSS NON REPAIRABLE
I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 22 WHERE I SLAMMED INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD. I HAD AT LEAST 40 FEET TO STOP AND I LITERALLY STOOD ON TEH BRAKES AND TRUCK BARELY SLOWED DOWN AND BEFORE COLLIDING WITH THE OTHER VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GM A FEW MONTHS AGO SAYING THE BRAKE ASSIST PUMP MAY BE FAULTY AND THAT I COULD GET IT REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IF IT WERE TO FAIL THE TRUCK WOULD STILL BRAKE WITHIN "STANDARD". I DIDNT THINK ANYTHING OF IT SINCE IT WASN'T DESCRIBED AS AN EMERGENCY AND I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE TI TAKEN CARE OF THE NEXT TIME I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE. MY WIFE HAD COMMENTED ON MY BRAKES FEELING SPONGY. AFTER THE WRECK I WAS SO DISTURBED BY HOW POORLY THE TRUCK RESPONDED TO FORCIBLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKES PEDAL THAT I STARTED RESEARCHING AND I FOUND WHERE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING THIS VERY ISSUE IN THE 2014-16 SILVERADOS AND I FEEL STRONGLY THAT MY ISSUE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS INVESTIGATION. THE TRUCK SHOULD HAVE STOPPED AND I THINK A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED. THE BRAKES DO NO OPERATE WITHIN "STANDARD" WHEN THE BRAKE ASSIST PUMP STOPS WORKING.
TRUCK MAKES A CLICKING SOUND WHEN TURNING AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED AND TURNING THE WHEEL.
AT LOW ENGINE RPM THE BRAKE FORCE BECOMES EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE. WHILE BACKING DOWN A LONG BOAT RAMP LAST WEEK THIS OCCURRED AND MY WIFE COULD NOT PRESS HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN A COLLISION TO AVOID THE VEHICLE GOING INTO THE WATER. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.
I BOUGHT MY 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO ON OCTOBER 2017. NOT EVEN ONE MONTH AFTER PURCHASED I HAD TO BRING BACK THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOUD CLUNKING NOISES AND JERKING. I HAD TO BRING THE TRUCK IN AT LEAST 3-4 TIMES A YEAR DUE TO THE SAME PROBLEM.
2017 1500 SILVERADO, JERKS, SURGES, DURING ACCELERATION. NOW AND THEN I GET A LOUD THUD IN THE REAR LIKE I GOT REAR-ENDED. WHEN COMING TO A STOP FROM 2ND TO 1ST.
MY 2017 SIVERADO WITH LESS THAN 50,000 MILES IS AT THE DEALERSHIP, DUE TO A DEFECTIVE FUEL INJECTOR ON THE #7 CYLINDER. I AM BEING TOLD IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO BARE THE COST OF THE REPAIR. I DO NOT FEEL THAT ON A TWO YEAR OLD VEHICLE, THAT THE FUEL INJECTOR SHOULD FAIL, NOR SHOULD I BARE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. I AM NOT ASKING FOR A RESOLUTION, I JUST WANT OTHER TO BE AWARE OF THE DEFECT.
DRIVING FROM CONNECTICUT TO SOUTH CAROLINA MY TRUCK DEVELOPED A BAD VIBRATION BETWEEN 45MPH TO 70MPH. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FLUSHED. THIS VEHICLE HAS 34K FOR MILES. THEY CLAIM THAT NO DAMAGE IS BEING DONE TO THE TRANSMISSION. THIS I BELIEVE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. THE VEHICLE IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP AND MY FAMILY AND I ARE STRANDED WHILE THEY CLAIM THAT GM NEEDS READING BEFORE THEY CAN FLUSH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID.
TRANSMISSION HAS STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY.
THE VEHICLE IN MOTION, AT LOW SPEEDS (UNDER 10 MPH), THE BRAKES FAIL TO SLOW OR STOP THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS FULLY DEPRESSED WHICH UNEXPECTEDLY REQUIRES MORE EFFORT THAN BRAKING UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS. EVEN WITH THE PEDAL FULLY DEPRESSED, IT STILL DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHIN THE EXPECTED STOPPING RANGE.
WHEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ANYWHERE BETWEEN 40-75) THERE IS A VERY NOTICEABLE SHAKING WHEN ENGINE IS UNDER LIGHT LOAD (JUST KEEPING SPEED). I HAVE TAKEN IN TO CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND THAT WORKED FOR A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES. NOT THE "CHEVY SHAKE" IS BACK AT FULL FORCE. UPON CALLING CHEVY, THEY CLAIM TO KNOW THAT THEIR TRUCKS DO THIS, BUT SAY THERE IS NOT A FIX TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. THEY CLAIM THEY HAVE NO CLUE WHERE IT'S COMING FROM, BUT SHOULD NOT BE A SAFETY HAZARD. MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS, HOW CAN THEY SAY IT'S NOT A SAFETY HAZARD. I AM SO AFRAID THAT MY TRUCK IS GOING TO BREAK DOWN AND IT'S NOT EVEN TWO YEARS OLD. I HAVE READ THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE, SINCE THE 2014 MODEL. THEY HAVE HAD ENOUGH TIME TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
BACKING UP MY TRUCK, AT SLOW SPEED DOWN A BOAT RAMP, MY BRAKE PEDAL AUTHORITY WENT TO ZERO. I HAD NO BRAKES DURING BACKING MY BOAT IN GULF OF MEXICO. I HAD TO STAND ON PEDAL WITH ALL OF MY WEIGHT JUST TO SLOW IT LONG ENOUGH SO I COULD PUT ON PARKING BRAKE. I CALLED DEALER TO INQUIRE IF THIS WAS A PROBLEM, AND THEY SAID I HAD TO WAIT TWO WEEKS TO EVEN GET IT IN THERE TO LOOK AT IT. UNACCEPTABLE. LOSS OF BRAKING CAN KILL OCCUPANTS IN THESE VEHICLES. IN MY CASE, I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WATER AND POSSIBLY DROWNED.
NO BRAKES AT LOW SPEED AND A HARD PEDAL. POSSIBLY VACUUM PUMP FAILURE.

MY WIFE TOOK THE SERVICE RECALL LETTER FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP (SANTA FE CHEVROLET/CADILLAC IN SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO) INFORMED MY WIFE THAT SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS 70,00 MILES THEY WOULD NOT SERVICE THE RECALL FOR FREE AND INSTEAD WOULD CHARGE US $960 DOLLARS. SUBSEQUENTLY WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE IN OVER SIX WEEKS. THIS IS SIMPLY UNTENABLE. PLEASE HELP US AS IT IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE. THE SERVICE ADVISOR THAT MY WIFE SPOKE WITH WHEN TAKING THE VEHICLE IN IS [XXX] ON MAY 24, 2019. I HAVE REPEATEDLY TRIED TO GET THE GENERAL MANAGER TO HELP ME REMEDY THIS SITUATION. HIS NAME IS [XXX]. THIS IS THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP AND THE SAME WHICH WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2017. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
TAKATA RECALL , I WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND HIT A DEER WHEN MY AIR BAG SENSOR WENT OFF IN MY DASH AND CAUTION LIGHTS AND SOME LIGHT WOULD NOT SHUT OFF BUT AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY
MY FAMILY WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC IN CHARLOTTE AT RUSH HOUR 8-18-18 WE HAD PUSH THE TRUCK ACROSS 4 LANES IT DIED IT STARTED 20 MINUITES LATER AND DONE IT AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD WE PUSHED AGAIN WAITED IT STARTED I DROVE IT HOME 2.5 HOURS WITH NO PROBLEM TOOK IT TO DEALER SHIP THEY SAID COMPUTER SHOWED NOTHING TODAY 7-19-19 IT DONE IT AGAIN AFTER SETTING IN TRAFFIC WE PUSHED OUT OF THE ROAD IT STARTED 20 MINUTES LATER SO THIS TIME I HAD IT TOWED I HAVE TO SMALL KIDS THIS IS NOT SAFE SO ITS AT THE DEALER NOW IT HAS 8000 MILES ON IT
WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT RESPONSIVE. YOU MUST APPLY MAXIMUM FORCE TO TRY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS PARALLEL PARKING AND HIT A MAILBOX CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY REAR RIGHT FENDER BECAUSE THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP PROPERLY. I HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED AND THEY OLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY VACCUM PUMP. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK.
I AM CONCERNED CUSTOMERS ARE NOT RECEIVING THEIR RECALL NOTICES AFTER BEING TOLD CUSTOMERS RECEIVE THEIR VEHICLES RECALL NOTICES VIA EMAIL. UPPER MANAGEMENT AT ASBURY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP GRAY DANIELS CHEVROLET ORDERS THE OVERWRITING OF INCOMING ELECTRONICALLY SUBMITTED INTERNET LEADS (MERGING LOT SOLDS WITH ELECTRONICALLY SUBMITTED INTERNET NON-SOLDS OVERWRITING EVERYTHING KEEPS THE NON-SOLDS EMAIL ADDRESSES), TO EMBEZZLE EBE SFE MONEY FOR CORPORATE BONUS'S FROM GENERAL MOTORS; ASBURY AUTOMOTIVE GROUP GRAY DANIELS TOYOTA DELETES CUSTOMERS EMAIL ADDRESS AND INPUTS FAKE OR CREATED EMAIL ADDRESSES TO AVOID BAD SURVEYS TO WIN PRESIDENTS AWARD. ARE MY FEARS JUSTIFIED? NEW VEHICLE PURCHASES
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD IN LOW GEARS (UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING), LUNGING FORWARD AND A HARD KNOCK IN THE TRANSMISSION. CHEVROLET CANNOT FIX IT!
8 SPEED TRANSMISSION HARSH JERKS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2 GEARS AND 2ND AND 1ST GEARS TYPICALLY OCCURRING ON SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE HARSH JERK AND KNOCK/HAMMER NOISE COMMON TO OCCUR AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SUCH AS SCHOOL DROP OFF WITH CHILDREN AROUND AND RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC
TRANSMISSION STARTED SLIPPING AT 72000 MILES, REPLACEMENT OR REBUILD.
SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK, I BEGAN EXPERIENCING HARD SHIFTS, GEAR SEARCHING, CLUNKING AND HANGING BETWEEN GEARS. OCCASIONALLY THE SHIFT WOULD BE SO HARD IT WOULD FEEL AS THOUGH THE TRUCK WAS STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT. MULTIPLE TRIPS TO THE DEALER HAS RESULTED IN NUMEROUS ATTEMPTED FIXES WITH NO RELIEF OF THE PROBLEM. CURRENTLY THE TRUCK IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP HAVING THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THIS IS CAUSING A DEPRECIATION OF THE VALUE OF THE TRUCK AS WELL AS AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHILE DRIVING.
TRUCK TRANSMISSION WAS GOOD UNTIL ABOUT 2,000 MILES. TRUCK HAS DELAYS WHEN PUTTING IN GEAR AFTER IT SITS OVERNIGHT. TRUCK HAS HARSH LOW SPEED DOWNSHIFTS. PROBLEMS ARE REAL BAD WHEN VEHICLE IS COLD. WHEN YOU COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND LET OFF THE BRAKE THE TRUCK WILL SOMETIMES LUNGE FORWARD. TOOK TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR A WEEK LATER WITH ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A "TIMING" TEST AND FELT THE DELAY AND DID 16NA364 UPDATE. IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND PROBLEM RETURNED. BOTH DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT GM IS NOT PROVIDING A FIX. I NOW WARM THE TRUCK UP A FEW MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING TO HELP WITH DELAYED GEAR ENGAGEMENT. HARSH DOWNSHIFTS CONTINUE WITH THE LUNGING AND SLOW RESPONSE AT TIMES WHEN APPLYING GAS PETAL. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE STICKER PRICE WAS $64,000 DOLLARS. I WISH I HAD MY OLD TRUCK BACK BECAUSE IT WAS RELIABLE AND NOT POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. GENERAL MOTORS NEED FIX THIS PROBLEM OR AT LEAST GIVE AN FREE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALERS WILL FIX THE TRANSMISSION IF GM WILL TELL THEM HOW.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V088000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. RODENROTH MOTORS INC (3055 S MACKINAC TRAIL, SAULT STE. MARIE, MI 49783, (906) 662-4756) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
VERY HARD SHIFT GOING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND FROM 2ND GEAR TO 1ST GEAR. THE SHIFT WAS SO HARD THAT THE TIRES MADE A CHIRPING NOISE AND HARDLY ANY THROTTLE WAS BEING USED.
THE REAR SEAT IN THE CREW CAB VERSION SEATS 3 ACROSS BUT HAS ONE 2 HEAD RESTS. THE 2 HEAD RESTS THAT ARE THERE, ARE ENTIRELY TOO SHORT TO PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION. SINCE THIS IS A CREW CAB WITH SEATING FOR 3 IN THE REAR, THERE SHOULD BE PROPER HEAD PROTECTION FOR EACH PASSENGER. THE TOP OF THE REAR HEAD REST IS ONLY 28" FROM THE SEAT BOTTOM. WAY TOO SHORT FOR MOST PASSENGERS.
THE BACK MIDDLE PASSENGER SEAT BELT PLASTIC DOES STAY IN THE UPPER SHOULDER AREA CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO GO TO THE SIDE AND UNABLE TO ADJUST. OTHER AC HAS A LEAK I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRUCK OF THE AGE OF 2 YEARS I SEE OTHER GOT REPAIR BUT MINE IS NOT ON A LIST OF REPAIRS I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE.
I HAD A DEER RUN INTO THE SIDE OF MY 2017 SILVERADO AND AIRBAG DEPLOYED AFTER AUTOBODY REPLACED AND FIX TRUCK THE TRUCK THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AGAIN WHILE TRUCK WAS BEING PROGRAMMED GM CLAIMS THERE INVESTIGATION COMES BACK THERE NOT AT FAULT BUT REFUSES TO RELEASE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO US MAKING US THINK THERE IS MUCH MORE THERE INVESTIGATION IS HIDING AND THEY DONT WANT TO BECOME LIABLE
TRAVELING APPROX 30MPH, ON A CITY STREET, ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME, I DID NOT EVEN HAVE TIME TO HIT THE BRAKES. BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK UP. I CAME COMPLETELY OUT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT, MY CHEST HIT THE AIRBAG AND MY LOWER ABDOMEN AND UPPER THIGHS WERE BRUISED BADLY FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO HAD NECK PAIN FOR 2 DAYS AFTERWARD. I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THAT SEATBELT LOCKED, THE PASSENGER WAS NOT INJURED AND ONLY A LITTLE SORE IN THE NECK AND BACK THE NEXT DAY.
AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN BREAK DID NOT KICK IN FULLY UNTIL ABOUT 6 FEET FROM WHERE I INITIALLY ACTIVATED BREAK. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION IN PUBLIC STREET.
LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN BACKING UP. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES DURING LOW SPEED REVERSE OR WHEN BACKING DOWN AN INCLINE, THE BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND DID NOT STOP THE VEHICLE DOWN UNTIL I EXERTED CONSIDERABLE FORCE WITH BOTH LEGS. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHEN REVERSING WITH A TRAILER AND WHEN REVERSING WITHOUT A TRAILER. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON MAY 17, 2019 WHEN BACKING A BOAT AND TRAILER DOWN AN INCLINE AT A BOAT LAUNCH RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE IT ENTERED THE WATER, BUT IT TOOK CONSIDERABLE FORCE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I ALERTED THE DEALERSHIP, KOLAR CHEVROLET DULUTH, OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE TWICE IN 2018 AND AGAIN MOST RECENTLY ON MAY 23, 2019. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THEY WOULD NOT TAKE FURTHER ACTION UNLESS THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.
BRAKING ISSUE CAUSING REAR-END COLLISION AT LOW SPEED ON HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCE, INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL EFFORT.
RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET ADVISING OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH BRAKES, INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL PRESSURE AND STOPPING DISTANCE. WENT TO DEALER AND WAS INFORMED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED AT MY EXPENSE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM. CHEVROLET CORPORATE INFORMED ME THIS WAS CORRECT. MY COMPLAINT IS WHY AM I BEING CHARGED THIS WHEN CHEVROLET KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM , THAT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.
BRAKES NOT EFFECTIVE WHEN STOPPING AT LOW SPEEDS. DEALERSHIP REPAIRED, STATED IT WAS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT NOT A RECALL AND A VACUUM ASSIST ISSUE. I WAS INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC COLLISION AT LOW SPEED ON THE INTERSTATE. ABS DID NOT ENGAGE AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME.
LOSS OF BRAKING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. VEHICLE BRAKES ARE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PRESS IN SLOW MOVING STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THE ABS SEEMS TO KICK IN BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL FORWARD. SPEED WOULD BE AROUND 10 MPH. BRAKING IS OK AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS BUT LOSING ABLILITY TO BRAKE AT LOW SPEED. NEAR MISS ON REAR ENDING SEVERAL VEHICLES.
PURCHASED 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 11/2017. 04/2017, NO COLD AIR BLOWING FROM THE AC. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP THINKING ONLY NEED A RECHARGE SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS FAIRLY NEW. FOUND OUT THERE WAS A LEAK FROM THE CONDENSER. THIS COST ME OUT OF POCKET NEARLY $1200!! WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION?
EXPERIENCING HESITATION/'CHUGGLE'/CONVERTOR SLIP IN 2ND-6TH GEAR IN V8 MODE WHEN ROLLING INTO THE THROTTLE AND PUTTING THE ENGINE UNDER LOAD ON A HIGHWAY. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN IN 4TH 5TH OR 6TH GEAR,1500-1850 RPM, LOADING THE ENGINE TO ACCELERATE 55-60MPH, 60-70MPH. OR WHEN ACCELERATING ON AN INCLINE AT SAME SPEEDS WITHOUT DOWNSHIFTING. OR WHEN SLOWLY APPLYING THROTTLE TO MAINTAIN SPEED (65+) AGAINST A HEAD WIND OR WHEN TRYING TO PASS A CAR. ALL WHILE MAINTAINING CURRENT GEAR AND NO DOWNSHIFTING.
AT LOW SPEEDS UNDER BRAKING WHEN DOWNSHIFTING FROM GEAR 2 TO 1, THE SHIFT IS NOT SMOOTH. THERE IS A SIGNIFICANTLY LOUD CLUNK THAT YOU CAN FEEL AND HEAR, AND PASSENGER SAFETY IS COMPROMISED DUE TO A SUDDEN LURCH FORWARD.

THE TRUCK HAS INADEQUATE PERIPHERAL ILLUMINATION WHILE DRIVING ON DARK WINDING ROADS. .WHEN MAKING TURNS YOU CANNOT SEE THE THE ROAD IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. WHEN GOING STRAIGHT ITS DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SHOULDER DEPTH OF THE ROAD. .THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH THIS MODEL. THE 2019 MODELS HAVE MUCH BETTER HEADLIGHT DESIGNS THAT ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.. THE 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT THAT I HAVE DOES NOT. THE DEALER SERVICE WRITER AND I WALKED AROUND THEIR LOT AND COMPARED THE NEW MODELS HEADLIGHTS TO MINE. HE CALLED ME BACK THE NEXT DAY AND SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY NEW LIGHTING REPLACEMENTS OR REPAIRS FOR THIS MODEL. MY TRUCK IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT'S DOWN RIGHT SCARY TO DRIVE ON DARK WINDING ROADS AT NIGHT.
WHILE PARKING IN MY WORK LOT AT LOW SPEED, MY PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STOP. THIS PROBLEM REPEATED THE SAME DAY IN MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME. WHILE RESEARCHING ONLINE I LEARNED ABOUT THE FAILURES OF BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. PURCHASED AND CHANGED MINE MYSELF.
I BOUGHT MY PICKUP BRAND NEW FROM A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALER AND HAVE HAD AN ISSUE SINCE I TEST DROVE IT. WHEN SHIFTING UNDER LOW THROTTLE FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR AND BACK DOWN FROM 2ND TO 1ST, THERE IS A TERRIBLE CLUNK. SOMETIMES ITS BARELY NOTICEABLE, AND OTHER TIMES IF FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN REAR ENDED. THERE IS AN EXTREMELY NOTICEABLE HESITATION WHEN STARTING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY PUT MYSELF AND OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER. I'VE BROUGHT MY VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX.
WHEN GOING SLOW AND THE TRUCK SHIFTS FROM 1ST GEAR TO 2ND GEAR YOU CAN HEAR AND FEEL A STRONG KNOCK AND IT PULLS THE TRUCK THIS ALSO HAPPENS WHEN GOING DOWN IN GEARS FROM 2ND TO 1ST AT SLOW PACE AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME BUT MORE OFTEN THEN NOT IF YOUR DRIVING SLOW LIKE IN A PARKING LOT IT HAPPENS 6/10 TIMES TOOK IT TO THE DEALER STATED NO RECALL BUT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT WERE INSTRUCTED NOT TO DO ANYTHING TO THE TRUCK VERIFIED GOOGLE AND A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE
ONE MORNING WHEN I GOT TO WORK I WAS BACKING IN MY PARKING SPACE, WHEN MY BRAKES GOT HARD TO THE POINT THAT I COULD NOT PRESS THEM. IT WAS TO THE POINT THAT MY TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP UNLESS I USED BOTH FEET WITH HEAVY PRESSURE. IF I WAS DRIVING I WOULD HAVE NEVER STOPPED THAT TRUCK. I WAS JUST OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY WITH 39000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. I HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO REPLACE MY VACUUM PUMP.
THE ENGINE IS UNABLE TO RECEIVE CONSISTENT FUEL WHEN YOU START THE VEHICLE. IT REQUIRES PUSHING DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL MULTIPLE TIMES AND RESTARTS TO GET THE ENGINE GOING. THEN, WHILE DRIVING THE ENGINE LOSES FUEL AND CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO TURN OFF AND ESSENTIALLY DIE. THIS HAS PUT ME IN 2 NEAR WRECK INCIDENTS ALREADY DESPITE THE GM DEALERSHIPS SAYING THERE IS NO ISSUE.
MY BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY VEHICLE AT SLOW SPEEDS AND WHILE I WAS AT A DECLINE AND ALMOST CAUSED ME TO REAR END ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL GOT EXTREMELY HARD AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS DOWN ON IT.
I PULLED INTO CROWDED PARKING LOT IN THE RAIN & COULDN'T STOP MY TRUCK. I USED BOTH FEET TO PRESS BRAKE AS HARD AS I COULD & GOT TRUCK STOPPED. BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PRESS AND HAD TO PUMP BRAKE ABOUT 3 TIMES TO GET STOPPED. TRUCK WAS FINE FOR NEXT 3 DAYS & THEN IT HAPPENED ON INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. I WAS PULLING A TRAILER & THE ONLY WAY I GOT TRUCK STOPPED WAS TO USE MANUALLY PRESS TRAILER BRAKE MECHANISM INSIDE TRUCK. IT REALLY SCAREDME AS I HAD MY KIDS IN TRUCK WITH ME AND VALUABLE LIVESTOCK IN TRAILER. AT DEALERSHIP NOW GETTING IT CHECKED OUT. I'M OVER 36,000 WARRANTY BUT UNDER 60,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO GENGRAS CHEVROLET (585 CONNECTICUT BLVD, EAST HARTFORD, CT 06108, (860) 269-3772) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MODULE AND FUEL RELAY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO RICHARD CHEVROLET (1405 HIGHLAND AVE, CHESHIRE, CT 06410, (203) 651-7016) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT AN UNKNOWN CABLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 9-5039253021. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
A ROUGH CLUNK NOISE OCCURS WHEN TRYING TO STOP, AND CAR ACTUALLY REVS TO ACCELERATE SPEED WHEN APPLYING BREAKING AND TRYING TO STOP. (IN . MOTION) THIS IS A DANGEROUS ISSUE. TRANSMISSION DOES NOT APPEAR TO SMOOTHLY ENTER INTO SUBSEQUENT GEARS. A JERK OCCURS IN BETWEEN SHIFTING OF GEARS. (MOVING) I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY STOPPED ON A FLAT STREET, AND RELAX MY FOOT OFF THE BREAK, AND THE CAR WANTS TO LEAP JUMP FORWARD. THIS IS NOT SAFE. (STOPPED) THERE ARE SEVERAL REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE FOUND IN ONLINE FORUMS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO. JUST PURCHASED VEHICLE IN NOVEMBER.
THE STEERING ASSISTANCE REDUCED LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH AND THE VEHICLE STEERING BECAME STIFF LIKE THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I TURNED MY VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THE STEERING WAS NORMAL. NOW THE LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES. MY VEHICLE HAS RIGHT AT 50,000 MILES ON IT.
WHILE DRIVING ON CA 395 NORTH WITH SNOWY CONDITIONS, I EXITED TO THE VIEWING OVERLOOK. AT A LOW SPEED AND MY STEERING LOCKED UP. I COULD NOT FORCE THE WHEEL TO MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION BUT LUCKY I ROLLED TO A STOP IN THE TURN OUT. I TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND OFF 2-3 TIMES AND STEERING REMAINED LOCKED. I WAITED ABOUT 3 MINS TO TRY TURNING THE TRUCK ON AGAIN AND THE EPS CAME BACK ON.
REAR WINDOW EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY ELECTRIC REAR WINDOW DEFOGGER EXPLODED/SHATTERED OUTWARD WHEN DRIVER DOOR WAS CLOSED, SPRAYING SHATTERED GLASS INSIDE THE CAB AND THE EXTERIOR SURROUNDING AREA. THE TRUCK HAD BEEN UNUSED FOR OVER A WEEK AND WAS LOCATED IN AN ATTACHED GARAGE HAVING AN AVERAGE NIGHT TEMPERATURE IN THE HIGH 30S F. THE TRUCK HAD NOT BEEN STARTED AND THE REAR DEFROSTER HAS NEVER BEEN USED. MILEAGE ON THE TRUCK IS 9782 AND THERE WAS NO KNOWN DAMAGE (NICKS, SCRATCHES, ETC) TO THE WINDOW.
THE TRUCK HAS A HARD TIME ACCELERATING AND RANDOMLY UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS. WHEN COMING TO A STOP IT HAS A HARD TIME DOWNSHIFTING WHICH MAKES IT HARD TO STOP. WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA IF THE TRUCK WILL ACCELERATE OR NOT AND SINCE IT HAS A HARD TIME STOPPING I AM AFRAID I AM GOING TO REAR END SOMEONE. ANOTHER ISSUE THE TRUCK HAS IS WITH THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. IT WORKS GOOD BUT IT MAKES A REALLY LOUD GRINDING NOISE WHEN ENGAGED. I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TODAY AS I HAVE BEFORE. I AM HOPING THEY TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT IT AND FIX THE ISSUES.
I WAS PULLING INTO WAL-MART IN WHITE SETTLEMENT, WENT TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN AND IT FELT LIKE THE PRESSURE WAS COMPLETELY GONE CAUSING ME TO BRAKE HARDER TO STOP.

6.2L ENGINE WITH 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. ERRATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTING INCLUDING DOWNSHIFTS SO HARD ON THE HIGHWAY THE REAR WHEELS WILL LOCK UP MOMENTARILY AND THROW OCCUPANTS FORWARD. TAKING OFF FROM STOPLIGHT WILL INTERMITTENTLY EXPERIENCE DELAYED ENGAGEMENT AND ENGINE WILL REV TO ALMOST 1500RPMS BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES. TIRES BARK, SCARES THE HECK OUT OF DRIVER WHO THEM IMMEDIATLEY SLAMS ON BRAKES IN TRAFFIC THINKING SOMETHING BROKE. DEALERSHIP CITES NORMAL OPERATION WITH NO FIXES AVAILABLE FROM GM. LOTS OF SIMILAR STORIES ONLINE AND THE FIRST CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST GM FOR THESE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSIONS HAS BEEN FILED.
THIS THE THIRD TIME THAT THE DOOR LATCH IS NOT WORKING ON DIFFERENT DOORS NOT JUST IN ONE 3-4 MONTHS AGO THEY REPLACED ONE OF THE LATCH THE PASSENGER REAR DOOR, KNOW I HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE AND REAR DRIVE SIDE
THIS MORNING AT LOW SPEED STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND AGAIN WHEN LOW SPEED PARKING THE BLACK PEDAL BECAME HARD TO PUSH AND CAR WOULD NOT STOP PROPERLY. HAPPENED BOTH DIRECTIONS WHILE PARKING. WILL TAKE TO THE DEALER THIS AFTERNOON. SEEMS TO BRAKE FINE AT HIGHER SPEEDS AND SLOWING FROM HIGHER SPEEDS. SCARY
TRUCK WAS DROPPED OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP, FOR LOSS AND STICKING OF POWER STEERING. THEY COMPLETED SOME TESTS REPLACED A PART AND DID A FULL TEST DRIVE. I PICKED UP THE TRUCK, DROVE HALFWAY HOME BARELY MADE IT COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER STEERING AGAIN.
SPARE TIRE IS A DIFFERENT SIZE THAN WHAT IS ORIGINAL TRUCK CAME WITH 19 INCH TIRES SPARE TIRE IS A 17 INCH
TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ROUGH.
MY TRUCK SHUT OFF, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS HAPPENED TWO TIMES WITHIN THREE WEEKS. I HADE TO HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED BOTH TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T GIVE ME A REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME AFTER ONE WEEK THE FIRST TIME, TWO WEEKS THE SECOND TIME. THEY COULDN'T GET IT TO RESTART, UNTIL IT SAT FOR A DAY BOTH TIMES. THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME A REASON FOR THE SHUTDOWN ETHER TIME.
THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK. STABILTRAK ERROR MESSAGE CAME ON MY HUD. CLUSTER AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLASHED OFF. STOPPED. EVERYTHING FLASHED BACK ON AND RADIO PRESETS WERE ALL GONE. NOT SURE IF THIS WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP HAPPENING OR IF IT IS A FROZEN SENSOR, SINCE IT HAS BEEN BELOW 32 DEGREES HERE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED PROFUSELY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK CHEVROLET (781-843-4800, LOCATED AT 444 QUINCY AVE, BRAINTREE, MA 02184) WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ROAD-TESTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER FOR FURTHER TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 100.
BRAKES BECOME HARD APPLY AND WILL NOT STOP. HAD TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKES TO AVOID A COLLISION.
BRAKES BECOME STIFF AND INOPERABLE AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER 2-3 PUMPS
WHEN PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE THE BRAKES BECAME REALLY HARD TO PUSH AND TOOK LONGER FOR BRAKES TO APPLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TOOK THE TRUCK TO MK SMITH CHEVROLET IN CHINO, CA AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A FAULTY VACUUM BRAKE PUMP AND REPLACED IT SINCE IT WAS UNDER MANUFACTURER WARRANTY.
THE PICKUP SHAKES AT SPEEDS TYPICALLY BETWEEN 30-45 AND 55-75. IT SHAKES HARD ENOUGH AND LONG ENOUGH AT TIMES WHERE AT HIGHER SPEEDS BECOMES DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT COMPROMISES THE STEERING WHERE THE TRUCK CAN COME OFF ITS LINE AND BECOME UNSTABLE. IT WILL ALSO SHAKE RANDOMLY AND FOR UNKNOWN PERIODS OF TIME. WHEN IT STARTS I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT AND NO CONTROL OVER WHEN IT STARTS OR STOPS. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER A COUPLE TIMES NOW. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID I NEEDED TO REBALANCE THE WHEELS AND PUT ON NEW TIRES SO I DID BOTH. THE SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN WHEN IT DEACTIVATES 4 CYLINDERS. THEY TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND IT SEEMS THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS SPECIFIC ENGINE AND GM IS CLAIMING THERE IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS COMPLETELY FALSE AS THE TRUCK BECOMES UNSTABLE AND STEERING IS COMPROMISED. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE ESPECIALLY IF THIS CONTINUES INTO WINTER MONTHS WHERE ROAD CONDITIONS ARE NOT THE BEST.
HARD UNRESPONSIVE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS.
DRIVING SLOW AT DRIVE THRU LOST POWER BRAKES
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE TRAILER BRAKES FAILED TO WORK.

THE DRIVER CALLED AN UNKNOWN DEALER, BUT NO INFORMATION WAS PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. *DT*JB
6.2L ENGINE HAD FAULTY INJECTORS AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. GM SAID MY TRUCK HAD A WARRANTY BLOCK SO I HAD TO CONTACT THE BBB AND GO TO MEDIATION TO GET INJECTORS REPLACED. NOW I'M NOTICING A SHUDDER (VIBRATION) WHILE DRIVING WITH A FLUTTERING OF THE RPM'S. ALL MY RESEARCH HAS LED ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTER. MY WIFE HAS A 2017 CAMARO THAT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THE FAULTY TORQUE CONVERTERS IN VEHICLES WITH 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION, BUT WILL NOT REPLACE MINE BECAUSE GM HAS PUT A BLOCK ON MY WARRANTY. GM CANNOT PROVIDE ANY EVIDENCE GIVING THEM REASON TO BLOCK MY WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE.
THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR DOESN'T WORK. IT DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. THIS IMPACTS THE A/C, WHICH DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN THE SENSOR IS NOT READING THE CORRECT EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE. THE FAIRFIELD CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, LET ALONE FIX OR REPLACE THE SENSOR. I USE MY TRUCK ON RANCHES AND LOGGING PROPERTIES WHERE IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE OVER 20MPH FOR 5 MINUTES. AND WHEN IT IS 105 DEGREES AND THE A/C THINKS IT IS ONLY 65 OUTSIDE, THE A/C DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO IT MUST NOT BE REAL. THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF CALLING ME A LIAR IN ORDER TO AVOID HONORING THE WARRANTY.
DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF ME I SWERVED AND SLIDE OFF THE ROAD INTO SOME TREES MAIN DAMAGE TO THE SIDE OF THE TRUCK BUT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, TRUCK WAS TOTALED, SHOULDER IS INJURED, ROUNDING A CORNER AT APPROX 35 MPH ON A GRAVEL ROAD
WHEN DRIVING VEH SHIFTS HARD CAUSING A JUMP OR UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. BROUHT IT TO HUNTINGTON CHEVROLET THEY STATED IT WAS NORMAL. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE.
VIBRATION IN THE REST END. HAD TIRES ROTATED AND STILL A VIBRATION. COMPLAINED TO GENERAL MOTORS ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT IS WITHIN THEIR SPECS. THEY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE 2015-2017 SILVERADOS AND NOTHING BEING DONE. MAKES IT UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE ON LONG TRIPS IS AT ALL SPEEDS WHILE DRIVING AND NEGOTIATING BENDS IN THE HIGHWAY. NOTICED WHEN I PURCHASE AND DROVE OFF THE LOT PURCHASED IN NOVEMBER 2017 CONTINUED
FRONT WHEELS SIMPLY JUST PEEL APART IN CHIPS. REAR WHEELS APPEAR TO BE FINE, SO THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH TURNING OR FRICTION ON THE FRONT WHEELS. THE TIRES CHIP AWAY THROUGH OUT THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE THREAD, LEAVING VOIDS AND GASHES ON THE SURFACE. WE DRIVE ON PAVED ROADS, SO THERE REALLY SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE WITH EXCESSIVE WEAR SUCH AS DRIVING ON ROUGH ROADS. I DID SHOW THIS TO OUR LOCAL DEALER, THEY CLAIM THE VEHICLE NEEDS AN ALIGNMENT, BUT KEEP IN MIND THE VEHICLE HAS UNDER 15K MILES FROM THE DEALER. ALREADY, WE CAN SEE THESE TIRES NOT EVEN COMING CLOSE TO THE WARRANTY THREAD WEAR LIMIT. PER DEALER, NO RECALLS ON OUR VIN.
INTERIOR DRIVER SIDE FRONT DRIVER WINDOW BUTTON NOT ALWAYS WORKING. AT TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE DOOR AJAR IS LIT, WHILE THE DOOR MAY BE SHUT, IT DOESN'T LATCH COMPLETELY. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION OR IN PARK. THIS CAUSES THE INTERIOR LAMPS TO STAY ON AND DRAIN OUT THE BATTERY. I DID HAVE IT SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. PROBLEM WAS SOLVED, UNTIL TODAY 08/10/2018.
BOUGHT THIS 2017 SILVERADO IN FEB. 2017 DIDN'T NOTICE THE VERTICAL SCRATCHES IN THE WINDSHIELD UNTIL THE SUN HIT IT JUST RIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT AND REPLACED IT QUICKLY NO PROBLEM. AT ABOUT 13,000 MILES I NOTICED THAT THE EW WINDSHIELD HAD SCRATCHES LEFT BY THE WIPER BLADES. WHERE THE BLADES REVERSE DIRECTION THE WINDSHIELD IS SCRATCHED SO BAD IT APPEARS MILKY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE ABOUT GETTING IT REPLACED AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT AN OKAY FROM GM. I CONTACTED GM'S DIRECTLY. AFTER THEY TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SCRATCHES WERE MY FAULT FOR " USING THE WIPERS WITHOUT WASHER SOLUTION" I HAVE NEVER EVER TURNED THE WIPERS ON WITHOUT PRESSING THE WASHER BUTTON FIRST PERIOD. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT HE CALLED AND LEFT MESSAGES WITH THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REP. AND SHE HAS NOT RETURNED HIS CALLS. YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING ON A WINDING ROAD THE SUN HIT THE SCRATCHES JUST RIGHT CAUSING ME TEMPORARILY TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE ROAD. I WAS A LIFELONG GM CUSTOMER NOT ANYMORE!!!!
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STARTED VIBRATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MUZI CHEVROLET (56 TV PL, NEEDHAM HEIGHTS, MA 02494, (855) 258-3295) WHERE THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 11,300.
WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 55MPH; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; SMELLED LIKE PLASTIC BURNING AT THE SAME TIME; I WAS ABLE TO STOP ON EXIT RAMP AS THICK BLACK SMOKE FILLED THE INSIDE. GOOD SAMARITANS HELPED ME GET OUT AS FLAMES WERE IGNITED UNDER THE HOOD. SEVERAL LIKE MINI EXPLOSIONS ACCOMPANIED THE FLAMES.
THIS VEHICLE, LIKE MANY OTHERS OF THIS SAME DESIGN, HAS HAD A VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASE ON 9-14-2017. IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY THE DEALER FOUR TIMES WITH THE TIRES BEING THE PRESUMED ISSUE. THE VIBRATION HAS CONTINUED EVEN AFTER DIFFERENT TIRES INSTALLED AND RECENTLY THE VIBRATION CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BEGIN TO DRIFT TOWARD THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY WHILE TRAVELLING AT 70 MPH IN A 70 MPH SPEED ZONE IN A CURVE THAT WAS NOT POSTED WITH A REDUCED SUGGESTED SPEED. THE TRUCK HAS CURRENTLY BEEN AT THE GENERAL MOTORS DEALER IN DELAWARE OHIO FOR EIGHT DAYS WHERE THEY HAVE VERIFIED THE ISSUE, HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE A CAUSE AND HAVE NOTIFIED GENERAL MOTORS FOR GUIDANCE. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND THAT IT APPEARS TO BE A LONG TERM ISSUE FOR THIS MANUFACTURER THAT IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED. BEING A RETIRED STATE TROOPER WHO HAS DRIVEN MANY MANY MILES IN HIS CAREER, I FEEL THIS SITUATION COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL AND CONTRIBUTE TO INJURIES OR WORSE TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. PERSONNEL AT THE DEALERSHIP HAVE CONFIRMED TO ME THAT THEY HAVE HEARD OF THIS SITUATION AND THAT SOME TRUCKS ARE ABSOLUTELY PERFECT WHILE OTHERS DEVELOP THIS CONTINUING PROBLEM. THIS VIBRATION BEGINS AT APPROXIMATELY 68 MPH AND CONTINUES TO AT LEAST 76 MPH AND IS FELT THROUGH THE SEAT, ACCELERATOR AND STEERING WHEEL. I DO HAVE SOME OF THE "REPAIR" DOCUMENTS BUT THEY ARE INCOMPLETE AT THIS TIME.
RANDOM CHIPS IN PAINT APPEARING ON VARIOUS SURFACES OF TRUCK. I LIVE IN CITY AND MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE TRUCK IS GARAGE KEPT. CHIPS ON PAINT NEAR DRIVER PILLAR, PANEL NEAR GAS TANK, PASSENGER REAR PANEL, AND TAILGATE.
8 SPEED TRANSMISSION CLUNKS WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2 GEAR AND AT TIMES FEELS LIKE YOU GOT REAR ENDED. WHEN IT DOWN SHIFTS INTO THE LOWER GEARS IT'S ALSO CLUNKS AND IS NOT SMOOTH. THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN GOING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IS WORSE AFTER A COLD START . THE VEHICLE SHIFTS FINE AT HWY SPEEDS. I HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH GM 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION NEEDS RECALL. POSSIBLY TORQUE CONVERTER.
ENGINE HESITATION, OR MISFIRING. JERKING, OR TRANSMISSION SHUTTERING WHEN ENGINE IS AT LOW RPM AND ON INCLINE. (I.E. WHEN TRAVELING ABOUT 45MPH AND START UP A HILL, THE RPM'S ARE ABOUT 1300, AND THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T GEAR DOWN, SO IT STARTS SHUTTERING UNTIL YOU GIVE IT MORE ACCELERATION THAN USUAL.) AFTER DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR NEARLY 8 MONTHS AND 15K MILES, I BELIEVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD BE RECALLED. DEALER ORIGINALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM BUT WAS UNSURE OF THE CAUSE. AFTER 5 REPAIR ATTEMPTS THE DEALER SAY THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE AND THE VEHICLE PERFORMS AS DESIGNED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO LATCH.

FOR NO APPARENT REASON THE STABILITRACK SERVICE INDICATOR WILL ACTIVATE IN A VARIETY OF SETTINGS, IE LOW SPEED ON A ROAD, HIGH SPEED ON AN INTERSTATE, PARKED IN A PARKING, ETC. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL GMC DEALER AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR LOCATE A CODE THAT IS OCCURRING WHEN THIS WARNING INDICATOR ACTIVATES; THIS OCCURRED LAST WEEK AND AS RECENTLY AS THIS MORNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING TO WORK
FRONT BUMPER SENSORS NOT WORKING AS DESIGNED, TRANSMISSION HARD SHIFTING IN LOW GEARS (CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY), CLOCK TIME CHANGING ON IT'S ON BY 15 MIN (STATIONARY), SPEED DISPLAY NOT FUNCTIONING (ON HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), WINDOWS GOING UP AND DOWN ON THEIR OWN (STATIONARY, IN MOTION), GPS WILL NOT COMPLETE TRIP DIRECTIONS (HIGHWAY), BLUE TOOTH FUNCTION LOSSES CALLS OR HAS STATIC INTERFERENCE (CITY STREETS, STATIONARY AND HIGHWAY)
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED, WHICH CAUSED THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL TO BECOME DETACHED. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A GUARDRAIL. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES SUSTAINED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BENNETT CHEVROLET IN EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, NEW JERSEY, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V256000 (SUSPENSION) A FEW DAYS AFTER THE CRASH. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,200.
VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES. WHEN RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE 10 MINUTES AFTER PARKING IT, THE VEHICLE STARTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE DESPITE NO REMOTE START OR ONSTAR APP BEING ACTIVATED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO CRANK AND START, EVEN AFTER I UNLOCKED THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY FOB, INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE KEY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO CRANK AND START AND I SMELLED A STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. I THEN SAW BLUE/GREYISH SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE HOOD MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. I THEN GATHERED MY BELONGINGS FROM THE TRUCK AND WATCHED FROM A SAFE DISTANCE. AFTER THE SMOKE, THE TRUCK NO LONGER ATTEMPTED TO CRANK OR START ITSELF AND THE SMOKE WAS GONE WITHIN 5 MINUTES, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SMALL INSTANCES OF SMOKE OVER THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. THE TRUCK WAS PUT ON A FLATBED TOW TRUCK FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS INDICATED THAT THE "STARTER HAD CONSUMED ITSELF" AND WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE I SAW, BUT NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. IT WAS QUITE SCARY TO HAVE A TRUCK ATTEMPT TO START ITSELF WITH A SMALL ELECTRICAL SHORT/FIRE AS A RESULT WITHOUT A KEY BEING NEEDED.
TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTING. FEEL LIKE THE TRUCK IS BEING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA DO IT BUT WHEN IT DOES, ITS SCARY. THE OTHER DAY WHILE TRYING TO BACK UP INTO MY DRIVE WAY, THE WOULD NOT MOVE WHEN I PUSHED ON THE PEDAL. THEN ON IT'S OWN, THE TRUCK BURNED RUBBER BACKWARDS WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL. I ALMOST DROVE INTO MY GARAGE! THIS TRUCK IS NOT SAFE AND NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE! THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN DURING YOU DRIVE.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND SHIFTING INTO REVERSE THE TAILGATE CAMERA ACTIVATES ON THE DASH DISPLAY AT FULL BRIGHTNESS EFFECTIVELY BLINDING THE DRIVER FROM SEEING ANYTHING/ANY PERSON OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS HE TRIES TO BACK UP. THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE OR DIM THE TOUCHSCREEN DURING REVERSING.
BRAKES FAILED WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY IN BOTH FORWARD AND REVERSE. THIS OCCURRED FOLLOWING A PERIOD OF EXTENSIVE HIGHWAY DRIVING. BRAKE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH AND RESULTED IN NO BRAKING OF VEHICLE. NO TRAILER TOWING WAS INVOLVED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HUFFINES CHEVROLET (1400 STEMMONS FWY, LEWISVILLE, TX 75067) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES WERE OUT OF BALANCE AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S TIRE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC CHEVROLET (3991, 1101 TX-114, GRAPEVINE, TX 76051) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.
WITH APPROXIMATELY 7800 MILES ON IT, MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AND I WAS CROSSING A HIGHWAY WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED TO STUTTER AND LOST POWER. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN ONCOMING SEMI WHILE CROSSING THE ROAD. I NARROWLY MISSED GETTING HIT, THE SEMI DRIVER SLAMMED ON HIS BRAKES AND HONKED AT ME AS IF I HAD DONE SOMETHING WRONG. I PROMPTLY PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AND NOTICED A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I BROUGHT IT TO MY LOCAL SHOP WHERE THEY HAD DIAGNOSED IT AS A FAULTY LIFTER. THIS IS A PREVALENT ISSUE ON MANY CHEVROLET/GMC ENGINES AS THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS RELEASED ON THIS. I HAVE ATTACHED AN OLDER (2016) TECH SERVICE BULLETIN, BUT THERE IS AN UPDATED ONE WITH THE FOLLOWING PART NUMBER: 15-06-01-002F. I WOULD LIKE GM TO STEP UP AND ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS AS THIS IS MOST DEFINITELY A SAFETY CONCERN.
VEHICLE HESITATION AND SURGES IN ACCELERATION. THIS CONDITION IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT HESITATES PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, SURGES IN ACCELERATION HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF TIRE TRACTION ON ICE COVERED ROADWAYS NEARLY RESULTING IN A COLLISION. DEALERS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED AN ISSUE BUT ADVISE THEY ARE STILL WAITING ON A FIX FROM GM.
2017 SILVERADO PAINT CHIPPING REALLY EASY AROUND WHEEL WELLS. I HAVE 8000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND PROBABLY HAVE AROUND 50 OR MORE CHIPS DOWN TO THE PRIMER. CONTACTED CHEVROLET THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY PAINT CHIPS. I HAVE OWNED A 1999, 2007 AND 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN NOTICE TO OTHER TRUCKS YEARS 2014 TO 2018 HAVING SAME ISSUES SOME HAVE NO PAINT LEFT AT ALL VEHICLE MAYBE GET DRIVEN ON GRAVEL ABOUT 500 MILES A YEAR REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PAINT QUALITY.
WASHER PUMP BURNT, DEALER REPLACED WASHER BOTTLE & WASHER PUMP. PURCHASED DEC 2016, LAST 6 MONTHS LIVED IN ARIZONA. DIDN'T USE. TRIED USING MAR 20TH, WASHER DIDN'T WORK. NUMEROUS 2016-2017 COMPLAINTS ON LINE REGARDING THIS. DEALER REPAIR REPRESENTATIVE SAID MOTOR BURNT UP; HAD TO BE REPLACED. APPEARS WIRING CAUSED MOTOR TO BURN UP PER PRIOR CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. YOUR SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW PDFS TO BE ATTACHED. CALL ME AND I'LL EMAIL THEM TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
PURCHASED MY 17 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 ON 11/28/17 AND RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/1/17. THIS WAS DUE TO A SEVERE SHUDDERING & SHIFTING IN THE TRANSMISSION & SEVERE SHAKE IN THE FRONT END AT 70-90MPH. THEY BALANCED & ROTATED THE TIRES, SAYING THE ISSUE WAS FIXED, I PICKED THE VEHICLE BACK UP ON 12/4/17 BUT THE ISSUE WAS NOT FIXED & AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE HAD ALSO OCCURRED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK ON 12/7/18 WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION & SHAKING IN THE FRONT END, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE PROBLEM ELECTRICALLY WAS WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT THE BRIGHT LIGHTS FLASHED & THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SCREEN WENT BLANK. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME ON 12/8/17, TOLD ME THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUES, FINDING NOTHING WRONG. I LEFT IT OVER THE WEEKEND, WENT IN MONDAY MORNING & SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER DIRECTLY. HE TOLD ME HE HAD PURCHASED THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SAID THERE WAS A POSSIBLE FIX BY EXCHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID & THEY WOULD USE A NEW MACHINE PICO TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING & PERFORM A PROGRAMMING MODULE UPDATE ON RADIO, I PICKED IT UP ON 12/22/17, ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION SHUDDER, SHIFT & SHAKE ISSUE MOST NOTICEABLE AT 70-90MPH, & RADIO ISSUE. THEY WERE ADVISED TO PERFORM A MODULE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION & GIVEN 2 OPTIONS ON THE RADIO, THEY CHOSE TO REPLACE THE SCREEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THAT SAME DEALERSHIP, MODULE UPDATE MADE TRANSMISSION/FRONT END ISSUE WORSE, ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF A CURVE. THEY'VE REPLACED MY 2 BACK TIRES SAID THEY WERE BAD & SHOULD FIX THE SHAKING ISSUE IN THE FRONT END. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THUS THEY CANNOT REPAIR IT. OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES ARE BEING TOLD GM KNOWS BUT CAN'T FIX TRANSMISSION ISSUE.
UNSAFE CHARACTERISTIC!!!! INADVERTENT HARD SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR OR WHEN DRIVING LESS THAN 10 MPH. THE SEVERITY OF THE SHIFT HAS NEARLY CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO UNPREDICTABILITY. WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS A VERY STARTLING EVENT THAT CAN MAKE YOU INCREASE THROTLE PRESS AND ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, OVERSTEER IN LOW SPEEDTURNS, ABRUPTLY APPLY THE BRAKES TO KEEP FROM RUNNING INTO OBJECTS INCLUDING PEOPLE AND DIZZYNESS FROM YOUR HEAD STRIKING THE HEADREST. EACH MORNING WHEN I LEAVE FOR WORK I HAVE TO MAKE A U-TURN. I NEVER KNOW WHEN OR HOW HARD THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK. I'VE ALMOST RAN INTO A SIGN/POLE IF I HADN'T QUICKLY STEERED AWAY FROM IT. WHEN LOOKING FOR A PARKING PLACE WITHIN A PARKING LOT, THE TRUCK WILL SOMETIME HARD SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE OR CONFIDENT IN THIS TRUCK. I'M SCARED TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. IWAS TOLD BY LOCAL CHEVY SERVICE DEPT THAT IS IN A NORMAL CHARATARISTIC OF THE TRANSMISSION. THAT GM IS AWARE BUT WILL NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS IS MY 5TH CHEVY VEHICLE AND MY 3RD TRUCK. NONE OF THE OTHERS HAD THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE...
RECENTLY I HAVE BEEN NOTICING MY SILVERADO WITH LESS THEN 20,000 MILES HAS HAD REALLY LOW OIL PRESSURE. AROUND 15-20 PSI AT IDLE AND THE TRANSMISSON SLAMS INTO GEAR,
WHEN VARIABLE TIMING OF VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN TWO CYLINDERS, SWITCHING TRUCK FROM V6 TO V4 WITH RPM'S AT OR BELOW 1,500K, THE TRUCK BEGINS TO MISS/SHUTTER. THIS OCCURS AND ON ROAD TYPE, ANY WEATHER CONDITION. AT TIMES THE VIBRATIONS OF THIS MISS/SHUTTER CAN BE A BIT VIOLENT. IF FURTHER ACCERATE TO FORCE THE TRUCK BACK INTO V6 MODE, THE ISSUE RESOLVES ITSELF BUT AS SOON AS THE TRUCK SWITCHES BACK TO V4 MODE, THE PROBLEMS BEGINS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AT DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, THE TECHNICIANS CONTINUE TO PERFORM UNRELATED WORK ITEMS THAT DO NOT ALLEVIATE THE REAL ISSUE. UPON MY LAST SERVICE FOR THE ISSUE I WAS INFORMED THAT "GM DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM" AND THAT ALL OF THE SERVICE WORK THAT THE TECHNICIANS CONTINUE TO PERFORM IS "NOTHING MORE THAN A WAY TO TRY TO MASK THE SYMPTOMS SO THAT YOU DON'T NOTICE IT." UPON RESEARCHING, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS ARISEN IN MULTIPLE GM TRUCKS. THE LONG TERM AFFECTS, WHICH ARE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME, ARE A CONCERNING.
VEHICLE RADIO DISPLAY IS TOO BRIGHT. USING THE DIMMER DOES STILL LEAVES THE RADIO THE BRIGHTEST DISPLAY INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLINDING THE DRIVER AT NIGHT. THE ONLY OPTION IS TO TURN THE DISPLAY OFF WHICH TAKES 5 SEPARATE INPUTS TO THE DISPLAY CONTROL. ONCE THE DISPLAY IS TURNED OFF ANY OTHER INPUT TO THE RADIO OR HEATING/AC CONTROLS TURNS THE DISPLAY BACK ON AND REQUIRES ANOTHER DISPLAY INPUT TO TURN THE DISPLAY OFF AGAIN.
BOUGHT 2017 SILVERADO 1500 LTZ NEW. BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT DIM AT NIGHT, BLINDING, MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO BACK UP, UNABLE TO SEE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. BEEN THAT WAY SINCE NEW. IT'S A SAFETY FACTOR, RIGHT NOW IT WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT IT AT NIGHT. SALESMAN AT DEALERSHIP SAID THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. I HAVE THREE OTHER GM VEHICLES, ALL OF THEM HAVE BACKUP CAMERAS THAT DIM WITH THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTING. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT THERE, BUT THE DEALER KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT.
ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER RESULTING IN A VEHICLE COLLISION AND INJURIES REQUIRING SURGERY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE EPS SHUT OFF.
TRUCK EXHIBITS A ROUGH IDLE AFTER TRUCK IS DRIVEN AND WARM. IDLE CAUSES TEH TRUCK TO SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL DIE AT STOPS. RPM DROPS BELOW 300 RPM THEN GOES BACK TO 490 RPM. IN ADDITION THE TRUCK WILL START TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 75-80 MPH. GMC SERVICE PERFORMED TSB CHANGING OUR ENGINE MOUNTS BUT THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON SILVERADOS AND NO FIX IN SITE. CONCERNED WITH SEAT VIBRATION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIAL DRIVE TRAIN PART FAILURE.
I PURCHASED A NEW (175 MILES) 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LS 4X4 FROM A DEALERSHIP ON 2/10/2017. I NOTICED THE RIDE WAS A BIT BUMPY ON THE 80 MILE RIDE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT WAS 2 WEEKS LATER (I WAS ON BUSINESS TRAVEL IN BETWEEN AND LET THE TRUCK SIT IN MY GARAGE), AND I DROVE IT AROUND TOWN ON 2/25/2017. IN ADDITION TO A MINOR ROUGH IDLE, IT WAS VERY BUMPY. IT WOULD SHAKE AT VIRTUALLY ALL SPEEDS. AFTER MY 5 MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE GROCERY STORE, I LITERALLY FELT DIZZY AND ILL. THE NEXT MORNING ON 2/26/2018, I DROVE IT TO WORK (25 MILES), AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME FEELINGS OF MOTION SICKNESS. I AM A CERTIFIED AUTO TECHNICIAN WITH NEARLY 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, AND HAVE WORKED ON ALL COMPONENTS OF CARS AND TRUCKS (ENGINE REPAIR / OVERHAUL, TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION, BRAKES, ELECTRICAL, HEATING / AC, ETC.). I'VE WORKED ON TRUCKS SPANNING A WIDE RANGE OF YEARS WITH VARIOUS ISSUES AND MILEAGES (LOW MILEAGE TO +250,000 MILES). I HAVE NEVER FELT A MORE UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE IN A TRUCK IN MY YEARS OF TEST DRIVING VEHICLES (BEFORE AND AFTER REPAIR) THAN I HAVE WITH THIS NEW 2017 SILVERADO. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT LANDERS MCLARTY CHEVROLET IN HUNTSVILLE, AL, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS SAFETY CONCERN COULD NOT BE ADDRESSED AT THEIR DEALERSHIP UNTIL THE TRUCK HAD AT LEAST 500 MILES . I INFORMED THEM OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING IT UNTIL THEN AS I HAVE UNDER 400 MILES ON IT, AND THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE 80 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. UNBELIEVABLE! AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THIS "MOTION SICKNESS" ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY GENERAL MOTORS, AND DOES NOT HAVE A PROVEN DOCUMENTED FIX IN PLACE TO THIS DAY.
8 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFT VERY ROUGH FROM 1-2 AND 2-1 GEARS, FREQUENTLY HESITATES, MAKES CLUNKING SOUND. HAVE TAKEN IT TO GM DEALER AND AM INFORMED THAT YES, THAT'S THE WAY THE 8 SPEEDS ARE. THIS IS A $50K + TRUCK. THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE CAUSES AND CAN CAUSE HESITATION WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE, THUS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD.
WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WE RECEIVED THE ERROR MESSAGE: ANTILOCK BRAKES & STABILITRAK PROBLEMS & WHEEL VIBRATED TERRIBLY. TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND FIXED IT. THIS MORNING ERROR RE: ANTI LOCK BRAKE PROBLEM AND NO BRAKE FLUID (PUT IN A WHOLE CAN) AND ERROR TRACTION OFF (BUT WE DID NOT TURN IT OFF) THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE AND WE COULD GET KILLED OR KILL ANOTHER IF THERE IS A BRAKE FAILURE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND GM SHOULD BUY BACK THE VEHICLE FROM US. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. *TR
HI: I JUST FILED COMPLAINT #11074137 AND WHEN I COPIED AND PASTED THE VIN NUMBER IT LEFT THE LAST 5 OFF. VIN IS [XXX]. SORRY FOR MIXUP. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
IN JUNE OF 2017, I BOUGHT A NEW CHEVROLET SILVERADO. IT RUNS GREAT NO PROBLEMS. IN NOVEMBER 2017 I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CHUGGLE DRIVE QUALITY. THE SERVICE DID WHAT WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE. I HAD TO MAKE A 5-HOUR TRIP UP NORTH WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY TRUCK WASN'T RUNNING LIKE IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS DONE. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD. WHEN THE CYLINDER DEACTIVATION WENT TO 4 CYLINDERS THE ENGINE LUGS. BEFORE THE RECALL WAS DONE I COULDN'T TELL WHEN THE CYLINDER ACTIVATION WAS SWITCHING TO 4 CYLINDERS BACK TO 8 CYLINDERS IT RAN VERY SMOOTHLY NO LUGGING OF THE ENGINE. WHAT CONCERNS ME NOW IS WHEN I WAS DRIVING AN WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT SLOW SPEED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED HARD WHERE THE BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP. WENT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH AFTER I PLACED THE ORDER PROCEEDED TO THE WINDOW MY TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. I AM GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG NO CODES CAME UP. EVEN CALLED GM GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM. THE CHUGGLE DRIVE IS A REPROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. GM TRYING TO FIX ONE PROBLEM CREATED ANOTHER PROBLEM. I PULL A 5000-POUND CAMPER WITH THIS TRUCK WITH THE ISSUES I AM HAVING NOW WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD AND ENGINE LUGGING I AM AFRAID IT MIGHT CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY TRUCK RAN PERFECTLY BEFORE THE CHUGGLE DRIVE QUALITY RECALL WAS DONE. THE RECALL HAS TO BE THE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT A GOOD FIX.
RADIO DISPLAY CHANGES FROM BRIGHT TO DIM WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. ALSO RADIO CHANGES WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE SCREEN. POWER ADAPTER HAS STARTED NOT POWERING GARMIN AFTER BEING PLUGGED IN DURING TRIP. HAD TO TRY RECONNECTING SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER CONNECTION FIXED GARMIN LOST POWER EVEN AFTER REINSERTING ADAPTER. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN ON BOTH CITY, HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY DRIVING. THE LATEST WAS SHOWN TO LOCAL DEALER RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED. I'M SURE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CHECKED UNDER WARRANTY THAT NOTHING WILL BE FOUND. THATS WHY I WANT ANSWERS IF YOU HAVE ANY. MOST RECENTLY IT HAPPENED ON 20 FEB. 18
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE FRONT CRASH COLLISION SENSORS MALFUNCTIONED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SENSORS INACCURATELY DISPLAYED A WARNING THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TOO CLOSE TO ANOTHER VEHICLE OR CLOSE TO STRIKING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF IT WHEN THERE WAS NO VEHICLE PRESENT. BOB MCCOSH CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC IN COLUMBIA, MISSOURI WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE SENSORS, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.
TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND VEHICLE SURGES AT LOW SPEED WITH ACCOMPANING "CLUNK". PROBLEM OCCURS IN BOTH UPSHIFT AND DOWN SHIFT. DEALER INFORMS ME THAT IS A "LEARNING" CURVE FOR VEHICLE TO UNDERSTAND MY DRIVING HABITS. HOWEVER I SEE ON SEVERAL AUTOMOTIVE FORUMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR SOME TIME AND HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED HARD FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. THE FAILURE OCCURRED EVERYDAY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN APRIL OF 2017. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO O'REILLY CHEVROLET (6160 E BROADWAY BLVD, TUCSON, AZ 85711) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THE DEALER REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION, WHICH FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE VALVE BODY FOR THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS CHANGED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000. *TT
I HAVE A 2017 SILVERADO WITH 12,000 MILES ON IT. EAST CITY DRIVING AND HAVE HUNDREDS OF PAINT CHIPS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. GM SAYS IT'S EXCESSIVE BUT THAT PAINT CHIPS ARE NOT COVERED U SEE WARRANTY AND IS DUE TO MY DRIVING CONDITIONS. THERE ARE OTHER WITH SAME COMPLAINT ONLINE. GM IS IGNORING THEIR PAINT ISSUE. THEY SAY EPA REGULATIONS SAY THEY CAN'T PUT ON A GOOD PAINT AND CLEAR COAT AND THIS IS HOW THEIR PAINT WILL BE FROM NOW ON
TRANSMISSION PROBLEM I HAVE CHEVY SILVERADO CREW CAB 1500 LT WITH E ASSIST PACKAGE I GOT PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION AND ANY TIME I STOP BY TRAFFIC LIGHT ,STOP SIGN OR STOCK IN TRAFFIC MY CAR GET AUTO OFF BY COMPLETING STOP AND THEN WHEN I START DRIVING MY CAR MY TRANSMISSION IS KICKING MOST OF THE TIME AND MY FAMILY OR ANYBODY INSIDE MY CAR BY THAT TIME THEY COMPLAIN BECAUSE IT'S REALLY BAD FOR EVERYBODY NECK THAT SUDDENLY SHAKE. I JUST AFTER A MONTH TALKING TO DEALER AND CUSTOMER SERVICE I TOOK MY CAR TO DEALER TO CHECK
BACKUP CAMERA TOO BRIGHT FOR BACKIUP AT NIGHT WHILE STILL NEEDING TO VIEW SIDE MIRRORS. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO COME UP WITH A SLIDING "ON SCREEN" BRIGHTNESS CONTROL FOR IMMEDIATE CONTROL OVER THE BACKUP CAMERA ON SCREEN BRIGHTNESS. WAY TOO BRIGHT FOR SAFETY / STILL NEEDING TO VIEW SIDE MIRRORS.
JUST BOUGHT A NEW 2017 BLACK EDITION. REG CAB SHORT BED. 5.3. SHAKES FROM NEW OVER 73+ MPH. TOOK IT TO DEALER AT 648 MILES ON 01/19/2018. PURCHASED NEW 12/28/2017. THEY REBALANCED ALL 4 WHEELS. STILL SHAKES. THEY PUT A NEW DRIVESHAFT IN AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. I PICKED IT UP TODAY. NOPE. IT'S WORSE. NOW IT BEGINS SHAKE NO AT 60 AND AT 74-75 HAS A PRETTY DRAMATIC SHAKE. THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. NOW I GO BACK AGAIN MONDAY TO LET THEM HAVE ANOTHER GO AT IT.THIS IS A BRAND NEW TRUCK.
2017 CHEVROLET. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO TIRES BEING WORN, ODOMETER FRAUD AND THE VEHICLE RIDING ROUGH AND MAKING NOISE WHILE DRIVING. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED THE TECHNICIANS ADVISED THAT A FLAP OF STEEL THAT WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED CAUSED A NOISE TO BE HEARD WHILE DRIVING. THE REAR SPRINGS WERE NOISY. THEY WERE REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE RUNNING BOARDS WERE ALSO MAKING NOISES. *JS *JS *JS
NOTICED AFTER PURCHASE THAT THERE IS VIBRATION LIKE A BAD TIRE 35-42 MPH. VIBRATION FELT IN SEAT,CONSOLE AND STEERING WHEEL 58-65 MPH. TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS HARD SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE BEING BUMPED FROM BEHIND,IT ALSO HESITATES AND JERKS AFTER LETTING OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND ACCELERATING AGAIN BETWEEN 25-45 MPH. WHEN ACCELERATING IT SURGES,JERKS AND STUMBLES. SOMETIMES WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS AND HANGS IN THAT GEAR UNTIL YOU LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR. UNDER HEAVY ACCELERATION THERE IS VIBRATION IN THE POWER TRAIN AND THE TRANSMISSION SEEM NOISY. AT 25 MPH IT SHUTTERS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION IS IN TO HIGH OF A GEAR UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. RETURNED TO WALDORF CHEVROLET WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND WAS TOLD THEY BALANCED 2 TIRES AND RESET THE ROAD FORCE,SCANNED TRANSMISSION NO CODES TRANSMISSION OK AFTER SHOP FOREMAN ROAD TESTED FOR 21 MILES NO OTHER REPAIRS NEEDED. PICKED IT UP DRIVING HOME NOTICED ALL THE PROBLEMS WERE STILL THERE AND AFTER INSPECTION OF MY WHEELS NOTICED THAT THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED STILL HAD THE OLD WEIGHTS STILL ON THE WHEELS WITH NEW WEIGHTS ALSO. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT THIS TIME TO HAVE SHOP FOREMAN (RICK) RIDE WITH ME TO SHOW HIM WHAT IT WAS DOING WHICH WE DID AND LEFT MY TRUCK AGAIN. AFTER 8 DAYS I AM TOLD IT WAS READY I WAS TOLD THEY DID A PICO SCOPE TEST AND THE DRIVESHAFT WAS BEING REPLACED THEN ONLY TESTED IT WAS OK. CHECKED RUN OUT ON FLANGES ALL WITHIN SPECS. FOUND THE RIGHT REAR TIRE BAD. THEY PUT STEEL WHEEL FROM ANOTHER TRUCK ON AND ROAD TESTED WITH NO CHANGE. THEY DROVE ANOTHER TRUCK AND IT RIDES THE SAME. EVEN HAS THE SHUTTERS ON HARD ACCELERATION. SAID THEY CALLED GM TAC BACK AND THEY DON'T SEE A PROBLEM WITH THIS. WRITTEN DOCUMENTS BE SENT VIA MAIL. MADE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT
BACK UP CAMERA ON IN DASH DISPLAY IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT AT NIGHT. THERE IS NO WAY FOR THE DRIVER TO ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS. IT IS SO BRIGHT THAT YOU CAN NOT SEE ANYTHING ELSE AND CAN'T EVEN SEE THE SCREEN BECAUSE IT IS SO BRIGHT!
THE PAINT IS CHIPPING IT HAS 4500 MILES ON IT NEVER DROVE ON A GRAVEL ROAD AND HAS CHIPS ON THE HOOD BOTH SIDES REAR FENDER IN FRONT OF WHEELS 61,000 DOLLAR TRUCK VERY DISAPPOINTING.
WHILE UTILIZING THE HIGH BEAM FUNCTION OF THE PROJECTION LIGHTING SHAKE OR RATTLE WHEN TRAVELING OVER BUMPS ON THE ROAD CAUSING A FLICKERING AFFECT OF THE LIGHTS. I HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND THE DEFECT IS STILL PRESENT. I HAVE DRIVEN TWO 2017 AND ONE 2018 SILVERADO PICKUPS AND THE DEFECT WAS ALSO PRESENT. THIS DEFECT IS VERY DISTRACTING DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING AND POSES A SAFETY RISK DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS.
SUNROOF SELF EXPLODED
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE STATIONARY, ALL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO URKA AUTO SALES IN LUDINGTON, MICHIGAN WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT RODENTS HAD EATEN THROUGH THE WIRING HARNESS, A MAIN GROUND WIRE, AND THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE VEHICLE BY REPLACING THE FRONT WHEEL SPEED SENSORS, TWO WIRING HARNESSES, AND A MAIN GROUND WIRE UNDER THE HOOD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,822.
THE BACKUP CAMERA IS BLINDING AT NIGHT. CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE VEHICLE AT NIGHT. THERE IS NO DIMMING THE SCREEN.
PAINT IS CHIPPING ALL OVER ALL OVER, UNDER 1000 MILES.TRUCK IS DRIVEN ON CITY STREETS AND HIGHWAY
DASH CRACKING IN PIECES COULD CAUSE PIECES OF PLASTIC SHARDS TO BECOME AIRBORNE WHEN AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLE EYE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I HEARD IT POP AFTER TURNING ON DEFROSTER. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET / GM VEHICLES SPANNING MANY YEARS.
I HIT A HUGE DEER WITH MOST OF THE FRONT END LOTS OF FRONT DAMGAGE AT OVER 45 MILES AN HOUR. DASH PANEL SAID AIRBAGS BUT DIDNT ACTIVE, CAB FILLED UP WITH LIKE GREY SMOKE FLASHERS ACTIVATED COULDNT BE TURNED OFF SEATBELTS WORKED DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE 2017 SILVERADO TODAY VERY SORE SHOOK UP AND CONCERNED ABOUT SAFTEY OF ANYONE RIDING OR DRIVING IN IT.
OUR 2017 SILVERADO 1500 TRUCK WENT INTO LOW POWER MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. IT STARTED TO RUN REALLY ROUGH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASH AND IT LOST POWER. THE LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS FLASHING LOW POWER MODE. COULDN'T GET ABOVE 35 MPH PUTTING US IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION WITH TRAFFIC FLOWING 70 MPH + HAD TO TRY TO MANEUVER OFF THE INTERSTATE. TURNED IT OFF TO RESET IT AND IT DROVE NORMAL BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM BEING REPORTED ON GM AND CHEVROLET DISCUSSION FORUMS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT ABRUPTLY PULLED IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CHEMICAL ODOR IN THE VEHICLE AND A FOG-LIKE SUBSTANCE IN THE CABIN AFTER THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN FROM THE SCENE. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, SHOULDER, AND ARM, WHICH DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A DEALER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
THERE'S A BOX UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CAN VIBRATE LOOSE AND FALL BY YOUR FEET WHILE DRIVING. IT FALLS RIGHT BESIDE THE BRAKE AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY BRAKE WITHOUT IT SWINGING AROUND. IT CAN BE REPLACED BUT IS CAPABLE OF VIBRATING LOOSE OVER AND OVER.
HARD BRAKE PEDAL. LOSS OF ALL POWER ASSISTANCE. 2017 CHEVY 1500 34K FIRST DID IT HIGHWAY SPEED THEN I GOT IT TO REPEAT AT SLOW SPEED MULTIPLE TIMES. IT WOULD LOSE ALL BRAKES AFTER TWO OR THREE LIGHT APPLICATIONS OF THE BRAKES. VERY UNSAFE I ALMOST REAR ENDED SOME ONE I'M FAIRLY STRONG IT TOOK BOTH FEET PUSHING AS HARD AS I COULD TO SLOW VEHICLE AND WHIP AROUND CAR TO AVOID IF MY WIFE OR SON WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT VERY DIFFERENT OUT COME THAN A TRIP TO CHEVY
BACK UP CAMERA DOSE NOT DIM AT NIGHT. SO BRIGHT IT BLINDING AT NIGHT.DESTROYS NIGHT VISION.CANT SEE ANYTHING.
MY VEHICLE IS A PICKUP WITH THE Z71 OFF ROAD PACKAGE. I USE IT WORKING ON FARM AND PASTURE LAND WHICH REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE OFF ROAD IN TALL GRASS AND BRUSH AT TIMES. I NOTICED, AND IT WAS CALLED TO ATTENTION, THAT GRASS AND BRUSH WAS COLLECTING AROUND THE REAR AXLE, DRIVE LINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. I GOT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND TWO LARGE PLASTIC CLAMPS AROUND THE AXLE HOUSING THAT HAVE A LARGE V SHAPED OPENING FACING THE FRONT OF THE PICKUP. THE CLAMPS ARE CATCHING AND HOLDING GRASS AND BRUSH WHICH THEN BUILDS UP AS THE VEHICLE TRAVELS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NUMBER ONE COULD CAUSE A FIRE, CAUSE DAMAGE AND FAILURE OF THE DRIVE LINE AND ENDANGERS MY SAFETY BY HAVING TO CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE THE BRUSH AND GRASS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW 6/25/17 TO CURRENT.
MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS. THE DEALER WANTS $100.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I DONT HAVE FUNDS SO I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR THE RECALL TO BE SURE. I WAS SENT A NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. AND HAVE FILLED OUT A CLAIM BUT STILL DONT KNOW IF I QUALIFY. IT SHOWED ON ONE WEBSITE THAT THERE IS A RECALL SO I WOULD RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY NOT TO GO THE FULL ROUTE AND BE SURE MY TRUCK'S AIRBAG IS SAFE.
REAR FACING CAMERA CAN NOT BE DIMMED. WHEN BACKING AT NIGHT, CAMERA DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT YOU CAN'T USE YOUR MIRRORS. YOU CAN NOT FOCUS ON ANYTHING THAT MAY BE ALONG SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE OUT OF SIGHT OF THE CAMERA. I HAVE READ THAT OLDER YEAR VEHICLES HAVE A CAMERA DISPLAY DIM FEATURE.
TRANSMISSION ON MY NEW 2016 Z71 LT 4X4 JUMPS INTO LOW GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT KEEP GETTING TOLD IT SHIFTS FINE. I TOOK IT AGAIN AND HAD A MANAGER DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH ME INSIDE AND AGREED THE TRANSMISSION WAS NOT GETTIN INTO GEAR IN A NORMAL WAY. TOON IT BACK TO GET IT FIXED AND WAS TOLD TRANSMISSION IS FINE. I NEED THIS FIXED OR I WILL BE RETURNING HE TRUCK AS A LEMON TITLE.
2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE (WHILE STOPPED, FROM EITHER PARK OR NEUTRAL) THE BACKUP CAMERA VIEW APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. THE ISSUE IS WHEN IT IS DARK OUTSIDE, THE DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT THAT IT BLINDS THE DRIVER. I AM UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS OR MIRRORS. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO DIM THE SCREEN WHILE THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY IS ON THE SCREEN. THE SCREEN IS SO BRIGHT THAT IS TAKES A FEW MOMENTS TO REGAIN NIGHT VISION. WHEN I THEN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR DRIVE (BUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE MOVES) THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY IS ON THE SCREEN BUT IT IS DIMMED. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.
WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP TRUCK HESITATES TO THE POINT WHERE YOU COULD GET HIT OR YOU HAVE TO PUSH PEDAL HARD WHICH MAKES VEHICLE JERK OR SPIN TIRES, ESPECIALLY WHEN WET PAVEMENTS. ALSO WILL STUTTER AND VIBRATE AT HIGHER SPEEDS. BEEN TOLD IT'S NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK WITH ITS FUEL SAVING [XXX] FROM 4-8 CYLINDER. NOT SAFE AT ALL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
INNER SIDEWALL OF FRONT TIRES ARE RUBBING ON UPPER CONTROL ARMS...TIRES ARE MICHELIN STOCK SIZE...NO MODIFICATIONS...
WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE FOR THE PURPOSE OF BACKING UP, THE RADIO SCREEN ILLUMINATES TO A BLINDING LEVEL OF BRIGHTNESS WHEN THE REAR CAMERA VIEW IS DISPLAYED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT AND IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT OF MY WINDOWS. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT WITHIN THE RADIO SETTINGS TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND THE ROTATING DIAL TO THE LEFT OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING KNOB WILL DO NOTHING TO DIM THE SCREEN WHEN IN REVERSE. DURING NORMAL OPERATION (NOT IN REVERSE), THE SCREEN IS ABLE TO DIM WITH THE ROTATING DIAL WHETHER PARKED OR DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE THAT IF NOT RESOLVED, COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS TO DRIVING SAFETY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. IF CHEVROLET/GM COULD IMPLEMENT AN UPDATE THAT WOULD ALLOW A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO PUT A "SOFT" BUTTON INTO THE SETTINGS MENU, I FEEL THAT OVERALL VISIBILITY WOULD BE IMPROVED GREATLY AND TEMPORARY NIGHT BLINDNESS WOULD BE A THING OF THE PAST. MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY TYPE OF GM VEHICLE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE.
POSSIBLE PISTON MALFUNCTION
WHEN COMING TO A STOP HEARING A CLUNK IN THE DRIVE TRAIN HAD SAME ISSUE WITH 2016 SILVERADO CHEVROLET REPLACED CONTROL MODULE AND CALIBRATED GEARS ON 2016 BUT WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2017 I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL SO WHY WOULD THEY WASTE TIME AND MONEY TRYING TO REPAIR AN ISSUE IN THEIR WORDS IS NOT AN ISSUE IS BEYOND ME, THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALL ITEM BEFROE MECHANICAL FAILURES RESUT IN INJURIES OR LOSS OF LIVES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE ONLY STALLED WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS VERY HOT OUTSIDE. THE VEHICLE STALLED AT LEAST THREE TIMES PER MONTH SINCE BEING PURCHASED IN MARCH OF 2017. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (ED BUZARTH CHEVROLET IN LAS VEGAS, NEVADA) FOUR TIMES. THE DEALER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THERE WAS NO REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 8-324-272-3692. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,350.
STEERING WAS DANGEROUS. PULLED TO LEFT . TOOK TO DEALER WHERE PURCHASED. LOOKED AT IT. DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. HAD TRUCK 7 MONTHS. LESS THAN 300 MILES. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. GOING DOWN ROAD, IT PULLS TO LEFT.
BACKUP CAMERA SCREEN IS SO BRIGHT AT NIGHT INSIDE VEHICLE THAT IT ALMOST CAUSES AN INABILITY TO SEE ANYTHING. APPARENTLY THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS ON THIS MODEL, BUT WAS AVAILABLE IN EARLIER MODELS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED ON A SLOPED DRIVEWAY WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED, IT ROLLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE CONTACT FOUND THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET STILL LOCKED AND ENGAGED IN PARK. THE CONTACT PARKED THE VEHICLE BACK IN THE DRIVEWAY WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC OR DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT READ ONLINE THAT THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE WITH 4X4 VEHICLES AS THE TRANSMISSION TRANSFER CAUSE WOULD INADVERTENTLY SHIFT TO NEUTRAL WHEN PARKED WITHOUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000. UPDATED 10/25/17*LJ UPDATED 10/26/2017*JS
THE LIGHT FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT AND BLINDING AT NIGHT. IT BLOCKS UP YOUR VIEW OF THE CAMERA AND MUST BE COVERED WITH A TOWEL IN ORDER TO SEE WHEN BACKING AT NIGHT. I SPOKE WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO FIX. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH BACKING UP AT NIGHT.
I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 PICK-UP TRUCK SINCE FEBRUARY 2017. SINCE NEARLY DAY ONE, THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED VIBRATION AND WOBBLE LIKE SHAKING NOTICEABLE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BECOMING MORE NOTICEABLE ABOVE 60 MPH. AT CERTAIN INSTANCES THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO EXPERIENCE A MILD BOUNCING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOUR TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF OWNERSHIP (APX. SIX MONTHS AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION) AND APPROXIMATELY 10,000 DRIVING MILES AND THE ISSUE STILL IS ONGOING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAD CALLED IN A FIELD ENGINEER TO HELP WITH THE ISSUE, TWICE, THEY AS WELL, UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIRES, ROAD FORCE BALANCED WHEELS AND TIRES, REPLACED SUSPENSION BUSHINGS, STEERING GEAR BOX, STEERING BUSHINGS, UNMOUNTED THE BODY FROM THE CHASSIS AND UNBOLTED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, REASSEMBLING IN A DIFFERENT PATTERN, REMOVED CALIPER CLIPS, AND MADE OTHER CHANGES. THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. FOLLOWING THEIR ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE ISSUE, THE VEHICLE NOW MAKES A CLUNK NOISE WHEN EXECUTING A TIGHT TURNING RADIUS AND DRIVING OVER A SMALL BUMP (SUCH AS A DRIVEWAY APRON). WHEN THE SHAKING / VIBRATION OCCURS, THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSTABLE AND FEELS AS IF THERE MAY BE A LOSS OF CONTROL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND THAT THE VEHICLE VEERED LEFT INTO ANOTHER LANE. MACK BOWER CHEVROLET OF SLIDELL, LOUISIANA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE TIRES WITH BRAND NEW ONES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. MACK BOWER CHEVROLET OF SLIDELL, LOUISIANA STATED THAT THE FAILURE MIGHT HAVE BEEN DUE TO AN FAULTY ELECTRICAL STEERING COMPONENT WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE #: 8-306569217. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
REAR CENTER SEAT HAS NO HEAD RESTRAINT. REAR OUTBOARD SEATS HAVE HEAD RESTRAINTS THAT MAY NOT MEET MINIMUM SAFTEY HEIGHTS, THEY ARE TOO SMALL AND DO NOT EXTEND HIGH ENOUGH, THEY ALSO DO NOT LOCK INTO POSITION. FRONT CENTER SEAT HAS NO HEAD RESTRAINT. FRONT CENTER SEAT HAS NO SHOULDER BELT, HAS LAP BELT ONLY.
AT NIGHT, WHEN SHIFTING INTO REVERSE GEAR AND THE BACKUP CAMERAS IS ACTIVATED, THE SYSTEM CHANGES THE CENTER DASHBOARD DISPLAY SCREEN FROM NIGHT BRIGHTNESS TO FULL DAYTIME BRIGHTNESS. IF LOOKING AT THE SCREEN WHEN THIS HAPPENS, NIGHT VISION IS LOST BY THE GLARE. IF NOT LOOKING AND IN A DARK AREA, IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE MUCH OF ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE DISPLAY SCREEN. WHILE THE SCREEN IS SHOWING WHAT IS BEHIND THE VEHICLE, IF A TURNING MOVEMENT IS NEEDED WHILE BACKING, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IF THERE IS ANYTHING BESIDE THE VEHICLE (LIKE CHILDREN) WITHOUT OPENING THE VEHICLE WINDOWS. IF THE DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS WOULD SIMPLY REMAIN UNCHANGED WHEN THE BACKUP CAMERA IS ACTIVATED, THIS ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED. THE DEALER AND CHEVROLET ASSISTANCE BOTH STATE THIS IS HOW THE SYSTEM IS DESIGNED TO OPERATE AND REFUSE TO TAKE ANY ACTION. THEY DO STATE THE PROBLEM "MIGHT" BE RESOLVED IN A FUTURE SOFTWARE UPDATE.
TRUCK IS A 6 PASSENGER VEHICLE THE FRONT SEAT CAN SEAT 3. MY 13 YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER FLIPPED UP THE MIDDLE CONSOLE TO SIT IN THE MIDDLE POSITION. THE PLASTIC CUP HOLDER BROKE OFF THE CONSOLE AND FLEW INTO THE BACK SEAT. WE WERE STOPPED THE SIDE OF THE STREET IN FRONT OF GRAND SONS HOME LOADING UP 6 PASSENGERS WHEN THIS HAPPENED. MYSELF, WIFE, GRANDSON, HIS WIFE, 12 YEAR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER AND 2 YEAR OLD GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER. WE HAD BUCKLED UP MY GREAT GRAND DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT IN HER CAR SEAT WHEN THIS CONSOLE BROKE OFF AND FELL ON THE BACK SEAT. THIS IS A CREW CAB VEHICLE AND THE CONSOLE IS MADE OF PLASTIC AND WEIGHS 2.2 POUNDS AND WHAT WOULD THIS DO FLYING BACKWARDS IN AN ACCIDENT.
I AM REQUESTING THAT DOT NHTSA INVESTIGATE THE EXTREME WOBBLE/VIBRATION/SHAKE ON NEW 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND DRIVEN UNDER 55 MPH FOR THE FIRST 500 MILES. AFTER THE FIRST 500 MILES AND BEGINNING TO DRIVE HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BETWEEN 60 - 75+ MILES PER HOUR, A WOBBLE/VIBRATION/SHAKE BEGAN TO OCCUR. WHEN THE WOBBLE/VIBRATION/SHAKE BEGINS THE DRIVER FEELS THAT CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS BEING LOST AND THE DRIVER MUST DECREASE THE SPEED, WHICH IS ABLE TO BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH BOTH RELEASING FOOT OFF OF THE ACCELERATOR OR LIGHTLY BREAKING, IN ORDER TO REGAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER FOR FRONT LEFT WHEEL REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE INABILITY OF ORIGINAL TIRE TO BE BALANCED, THE VEHICLE HAS FIELD FORCE BALANCING 3 TIMES, AND THE LEFT FRONT AXLE BOOT HAS BEEN REPLACED. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE WOBBLE/VIBRATION/SHAKE, THE VEHICLE NOW HAS ~10,000 MILES, THE WOBBLE/VIBRATION/SHAKE CONTINUES TO OCCUR AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
WEST BOUND HIGHWAY 44 BEFORE THE RAILROAD TRACKS. FEMALE DEER CAME OUT OF NOWHERE AND WAS HIDDEN BY THE A PILLAR, DRIVERS SIDE, WHICH OBSCURED HER SUDDEN CROSSING. SHE HIT THE FRONT, LEFT, OF THE TRUCK WHICH CAUSED THE SIDE-CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYMENT CHARGES ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, TO GO OFF. BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE ENSUING FORCE FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG PLASTIC COVER EJECTING OUT, FORCEFULLY RAMMED INTO ME, PUSHING ME INTO THE CENTER CONSOLE. AIRBAG INDICATOR ON THE DASH INFO SCREEN IMMEDIATELY POPPED UP AS DID AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION OF THE HAZARDS. UPON COMING TO A STOP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE-AIRBAGS BEGAN TO SMOKE. SMELL IS SIMILAR TO BLACK/GUN POWDER WHICH I ASSUME THE DEPLOYMENT CHARGE IS MADE OUT OF. TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO HOSPITAL. FILED CLAIM WITH INSURANCE. RESEARCH THIS EVENING REVEALS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH OTHER AIRBAGS IN THE TRUCK. NHTSA REF: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V651000. I'M WONDERING IF MY ISSUE IS POTENTIALLY SYMBIOTIC TO THIS ISSUE. LASTLY, A CHECK OF ANY RECALLS ON MY TRUCK VIA THE MYCHEVY APP AND NHTSA WEBSITE, FAILS TO INDICATE ANY RECALLS AT ALL EXIST ON THE TRUCK.
BOUGHT THE TRUCK 16 NOV 16 IN IDAHO. NOTICED AT THE END OF JAN/EARLY FEB '17 THAT PAINT CHIPS/KNICKS WERE STARTING TO APPEAR ALL OVER THE TRUCK AND IN PLACES WHERE THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD SEE THEM WAS TO THE OPEN A DOOR (I.E. NOT EVEN EXPOSED TO THE ROAD). AFTER MAKING NUMEROUS INQUIRIES TO LOCAL GM DEALERSHIPS, ALL OF WHOM SAID IT WAS SAND DAMAGE, I STARTED DOING RESEARCH. TURNS OUT, I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE ON THEIR TRUCKS. IT APPEARS THE ISSUES WITH PAINT ON GM (BOTH GMC AND SILVERADO) TRUCKS STARTED AROUND MID TO LATE MODEL 2014 TRUCKS AND PERSISTS TO THIS DAY (SEE ATTACHMENTS). ADDITIONALLY, MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN RENO, I HAVE FOUND OUT, HAS BEEN LYING TO ME; THEY TOLD ME THEY SUBMITTED TWO SEPARATE REQUESTS TO GM FOR THE TRUCK TO BE REPAINTED AS THEY AGREED WITH ME (IN-PERSON AND VIA PHONE) THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE PAINT. IT TURNS OUT, THIS IS ALL A FARCE. THE TWO REQUESTS THEY SUBMITTED STATED, "CUSTOMER HAS BEEN ADVISED TO FILE A CLAIM WITH THEIR INSURANCE AS DAMAGE IS CAUSED DUE TO SAND DAMAGE. CUSTOMER INSISTS DEALERSHIP SUBMIT A CLAIM TO GM FOR WARRANTY RE-PAINT". WHILST I'M PARAPHRASING HERE, I WAS LIVID TO LEARN THIS WAS 'THEIR BEHIND MY BACK KIND OF THING'. PRIOR TO LEARNING ABOUT THIS SHENANIGAN, I THOUGHT FOR A SECOND THAT PERHAPS THE DEALERSHIPS COULD BE CORRECT, MAYBE IT COULD BE DAMAGE FROM DRIVING. SO, I TOOK IT TO THREE SEPARATE REPAIR FACILITIES IN THE AREA AND ALL OF WHOM SAID THE SAME THING, VERBATIM, "THE CLEAR COAT IS TOO HARD, IT'S LIKE GLASS. FACTORY DEFECT". WELL, THAT CONFIRMED IT. LASTLY, I HAVE JUST RECENTLY CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP FROM WHICH I BOUGHT THE TRUCK (IDAHO). THEY ADVISED ME AT 1352 ON 23 MAY 17 TO ESCALATE THIS ISSUE BEYOND GM. AND THAT'S WHY I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT FOLKS. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE BUYING ANY NEW GM PRODUCT.
RADIO/NAVIGATION DISPLAY IS A 8" TOUCH SCREEN SIMILAR TO DISPLAY FOUND ON A TABLET. THIS SCREEN IS USED TO DISPLAY THE REAR CAMERA WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED IN REVERSE. AT NIGHT TIME WHEN TRUCK IS PLACED IN REVERSE THE THE DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT I CAN NOT SEE OUT OF ANY OF THE SIDE WINDOWS...TO USE MY MIRRORS OR SEE IF ANY OBJECTS ARE NEAR. AT NIGHT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS "DRIVE" IN DARK AREAS (LIKE HIGHWAY) THIS DISPLAY IS WAY TOO BRIGHT. I CALLED MANUFACTURER AND THERE IS NO WAY TO ADJUST THE BRIGHTNESS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS I LIKE TO HAVE MY INTERIOR LIGHTS VERY DIM.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY AND MADE A CLUNKING SOUND. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. UPON REFUELING THE VEHICLE, WATER ENTERED NEAR THE PLASTIC FILLER, WHICH AFFECTED THE FUEL GAUGE AREA. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR A SOLUTION TO BE PROVIDED TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE....UPDATED 05/17/17 *BF
DRIVERS DOOR COULD NOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. HANDLE MOVED BUT DOOR MECHANISM WOULD NOT ENGAGE. HAD TO LOWER DRIVERS WINDOW AND USE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. AFTER TURNING VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE ENGINE THE DRIVERS DOOR INSIDE DOOR HANDLE MECHANISM WORKED AGAIN. I'M CONCERNED ABOUT BEING ABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY OR IF POWER WAS DISRUPTED TO THE VEHICLE AND WAS UNABLE TO LOWER THE WINDOW. VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN A SNOW STORM (BLIZZARD) ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT
TL* THE CONTACT RENTED A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR DROPPED TO 10.5. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,061.
PLEASE PROVIDE AN UPDATE ON WHAT THE NHTSA IS DOING TO ENSURE SAFETY ON THE TAMARA AIRBAG RECALL. THE RECALL NOTICE INDICATES RISK OF FATALITY TO PASSENGERS. THE RECALL NOTICE HAS A DATE OF MAY 27TH, 2016. I WOULD ASSUME 7 MONTHS WOULD BE ADEQUATE TIME TO RESOLVE THIS DEFECT. COULD THE NHTSA PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ON WHAT OWNERS SHOULD EXPECT FROM MANUFACTURES REGARDING THIS?
▸ Valve and piston damage — timing chain/belt failure causes immediate catastrophic engine damage at any speed
▸ Loss of brake assist and ABS in emergency — can significantly extend stopping distances
The blue line shows 824 total NHTSA complaints filed over 11 years, with the worst year being 2020 (114 complaints, including 1 crash report).
The amber reliability line is declining — recent years score around 10/100, lower than earlier in the vehicle's life. This pattern indicates issues are accumulating over time rather than being resolved, which is a concern for used buyers.
The recalls (red dashed lines) were issued in the same year or before complaints peaked, suggesting the manufacturer identified and acted on the defect relatively quickly.
Red dots on the amber line flag 9 years (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) where complaints included crash events — these are the highest-severity incidents in the dataset.
Active Fuel Management (AFM) lifters on 5.3L EcoTec3 and 6.2L V8 engines collapse prematurely, causing a metallic ticking noise, oil consumption, and potential engine damage. GM issued Special Coverage #N202338470 and related programs for affected vehicles.
8-speed automatic transmissions (8L90 and 8L45) exhibit a shuddering or shaking sensation during light acceleration, especially at highway speeds. GM issued multiple TSBs and extended coverage programs. The fix involves a fluid exchange with a revised fluid formulation and, in persistent cases, torque converter replacement.
Coverage eligibility depends on your VIN, original sale date, and current mileage. Always verify with an authorized dealer or manufacturer customer service — programs may have been updated since this database was compiled.
- ▸5.3L EcoTec3 V8 (AFM/DoD): active fuel management lifter failure — sudden metallic noise, oil consumption, and engine damage
- ▸GM was aware of the defect for years before issuing a recall; class action lawsuit filed
- ▸Repair cost without warranty: $5,000–$10,000+ for lifter replacement
AFM lifter failure
Often leads to full engine replacement if ignored ($6,000–$12,000)
Active Fuel Management (AFM) system
Disable AFM with a tune ($300–$500) to prevent lifter failure
