UNKNOWN OR OTHER, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:HORN
Recently purchased a 2015 Chevy. The truck in is excellent condition , garage kept. problem is the horn. It stops working after it rains, or after we wash . We have almost had several wrecks due to the horn not working. The water runs down the seam of the hood and drips in the switch. That in return keeps the horn from working. I feel unsafe in the vehicle. At anytime people pull out in front of us or anything from around us. We have no way to warn nor get their attention. Any help in soling this problem would be greatly apricated. Thank You [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Randomly the brakes get stiff, even while on a hill or stop and go traffic. I noticed the first time after first buying it that while on an exit driveway at a decline, the brakes felt like they slipped or went away. I had to push them hard all the way down and thought I was going to roll into oncoming traffic. The truck soon after was making a noise and felt like it was losing power and revving after the keg was taken out and loss of gas mileage. The dealership confirmed the brakes vacuum pump and the high pressure fuel pump were both bad and the gas was leaking into the oil causing problems and possibly ruining the engine, they stated both would need to be replaced. Check engine light comes on soon after fresh oil changes everytime and codes were shown on computer for running rich. No codes after the initial oil changes due to the warning lights appearing after a good amount of gas has leaked into the oil.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
I was driving on Interstate 15 northbound on March 6th, 2023. I was driving 70 mph, my truck dash had a message come on that said Stabilitrak needs service. Once this came on the truck dropped down to 45 mph during rush hour traffic. My truck is currently at Young Chevrolet in Layton, Utah because this happened again last week on Monday April 3rd, 2023. The Stabilitrak message came on and then my PRNDML indicator disappeared. I could not get the truck to go into any gear besides neutral and drive. I had to shut the truck off, wait then restart it. This happened when I was trying to back the truck up into my driveway and I was almost hit by another vehicle. The technician at Young chevrolet said my TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD, from my own research of online forums and social media pages, there are numerous others with the same exact problem. Others have gone months to almost a year without their trucks back on the road and GMC and Chevrolet do not have a replacement part, nor can they make any repairs to this module. Some have been told by the end of april they will have replacements, others have been told July-October of this year. This affects model trucks 2500HD and 3500HD years 2009-2015. This HAS TO BE A RECALL AND GMC/CHEVROLET/ACDELCO NEED TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM ASAP.

Driving 70 on interstate 15 and the stabilitrak message came on the dash, truck went into limp mode, the truck went from 70 mph to 45 mph really fast.

ENGINE
2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 with 5.3 liter engine developed coolant leak. Took vehicle to Chevrolet dealer and they said the radiator was failing. According to the service advisor, this was a result of the thermostat "over cycling". They also said GM had a recall for this exact problem for the 2014 models but not for my vehicle. Cost of new radiator and replacement of the defective thermostat was over $1,200.

SERVICE BRAKES
I recently brought my 2015 Silverado in to the local dealership to fix the “increased brake pedal effort” recall. The dealership reprogrammed the brake control module but the problem still persists. Yesterday 03/07/23 I experienced loss of brake power in interstate traffic while traveling at low speed. This happened several times and it is very concerning. I believe the GM vacuum pump is faulty and I will contact the dealership about replacing it.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
Fuel pump failure while driving highway speed 70mph pulling a trailer. Engine light came on and engine went to limp mode for a few seconds then completely shut down without warning while still going at least 60. Lost power steering and power brakes. Service center confirmed the code for "low fuel rail pressure" and did the repair. I have retained the CP4 pump for analysis. I was very lucky to not crash my truck.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I own a 2015 Chevy Silverado LD. There was a recall that included (among other vehicles) the 2014 Silverado LD and the 2015 Silverado HD but not the 2015 LD. It is for the base radio audio output not working causing audible safety warnings to not work as well. I have this problem on my truck. I took the truck to a local dealership but they claimed to have no knowledge of this faulty condition.
