SUSPENSION
The contact owned a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while towing a trailer and driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle started to fishtail. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact attempted to mitigate the failure by letting up off the accelerator pedal and then gently depressing the brake pedal however, the actions failed to correct the failure and got worse. The contact lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the center median metal guard rail on the passenger’s side front and rear of the vehicle with the trailer compressed against the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that the Anti-Sway feature failed to operate as designed. A police report was filed. There was no injury sustained. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The insurance company deemed the vehicle a total loss. The vehicle was not diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 103,000. The vehicle was destroyed.

SERVICE BRAKES
The vacuum pump for the brake booster fails to build vacuum at low RPM (Under 1200 RPM). The part is still on the vehicle and can be inspected when the dealer completes repairs. The failure of the vacuum pump causes the ABS system to activate when attempting to come to a stop due to the need to apply excessive brake pedal pressure. This greatly increases stopping distance and has caused me to enter controlled intersections unintentionally. The problem has been confirmed by an independent repair shop. The problem has not been confirmed by anyone else yet. There were no warnings or messages prior to the failure. The only warning was a message AFTER the failure occurred to "service brake assist system".

SEATS
My driver’s seat started moving slightly then by the end of the day it was rocking back and forth at least 2 inches. The dealer said it’s not under warranty and it would be $1,200 to repair it. I had it welded but the weld didn’t hold. I am afraid this is a big safety hazard and should be covered especially since the truck is only 5 years old. I only weigh 200 lbs and I am the only one who’s ever driven the truck. There is no reason the seat should be broken. Consumer stated vehicle not included in the recall.

ENGINE
The crank shaft broke at 130k miles and this becoming common to this year and model. The mechanic who has the same truck could not fathom this catastrophic failure at such a early life in this truck. This repair is estimated at 5,000.00-10,000.00 and if this does not work the durmax diesel motor will have to be replaced.

SERVICE BRAKES
At low speeds the brakes do not engage 100% of the time. After a few short pumps the brakes dont engage and I have to push as hard as I can on the brake pedal to get the truck to stop. It has happened at random times over the last year and there is no pattern to it. It seems to brake fine when I am traveling at higher speeds but when I am parking or in stop and go traffic I have issues with stopping the truck. I believe the problem is the vacuum pump for the brakes. This issue needs to be resolved since I have read hundreds of other complaints about this same braking problem.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Upper right hand corner of display screen can be unresponsive or, more frequently, select items on its own. It will select different radio stations, rearrange apps, and call or put calls on hold. Steering wheel display changes to radio tab on its own. This puts my safety at risk because I have to fight with the radio to keep it on a single station and take my eyes off the road to constantly take phone calls off hold. Problem occurred in presence of dealer mechanic and I have videos of the problem. I have taken this to the dealer and they were unable to solve the problem. No warning lamps to indicate anything wrong or preceded the incident. The problem began in July 2021.
