SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER A 300 MILE DRIVE THE BRAKES ALL BUT FAILED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BACK INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE PEDAL WAS STIFF FEELING AND REQUIRED SIGNIFICANT PRESSURE TO STOP. GOING FORWARD SEEMED TO BE NORMAL THEN WHEN I BACKED UP AGAIN IT WAS BAD. THIS HAS OCCURRED A FEW TIMES NOW. THE LATEST WAS JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS, WAITING IN LINE FOR A DRIVE THRU PICKUP AND AFTER 20 MINS WHEN WE MOVED FORWARD THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP.

SEAT BELTS
IN THE FALL OF 2020, I RECEIVED A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING MY SEATBELT AND POTENTIAL ISSUE WITH THE PRE-TENSIONER CABLE THAT COULD FAIL. UNABLE TO GET INTO THE SHOP, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. ONE DAY, I REACHED OVER TO THE PASSENGER SEAT THE THE CABLE SNAPPED LEAVING ME 90 MILES FROM MY HOME WITHOUT A WORKING SEATBELT. WHEN I WENT TO A DEALERSHIP, THEY CHARGED ME FOR THE REPAIR EVEN THOUGH THE BULLETIN INDICATED IT WAS COVERED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A TYPICAL WINTER DAY IN MICHIGAN. THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON TO MELT SOME SNOW/ICE ON THE REAR WINDOW. AFTER BEING QUIET/NORMAL, SUDDENLY A LOUD HISSING/SIZZLING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, LASTED LESS THAN A MINUTE BEFORE I WAS SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. THE DEFROSTER CIRCUIT THEN FRIED IN A LARGE PUFF OF SMOKE WITH A SUBSTANTIAL "POP" SOUND. AFTER A BRIEF DELAY OF JUST A FEW SECONDS, THE REAR WINDOW GLASS EXPLODED/SHATTERED. THIS IS AFTER A KNOWN RECALL WAS ISSUED BY GM FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. I HAD THE ISSUE ADDRESSED AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST. IN THEIR SERVICE REPORT, IT SAID "INSPECTED REAR SLIDING WINDOW TERMINALS AND COVERS FOR DAMAGE. INSTALL REVISED TERMINAL COVER. ALSO INSTALL NEW DESIGN BUSS BAR COVERS. OK NO HEAT DAMAGE FOUND." AGAIN, MY PROBLEM OCCURRED *AFTER* MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ALLEGEDLY ADDRESSED THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AND ALREADY-ISSUED RECALL. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THE REPAIRS/INSPECTION THEY CLAIMED THEY DID ACTUALLY HAPPENED. IF THEY DID, CLEARLY THEY DID NOT REMEDY THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I AM NOW TRYING TO GET INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE REAR WINDOW. AT MINIMUM, THEY'VE SAID IT COULD TAKE TWO DAYS TO GET THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW.

POWER TRAIN
I AM GETTING A LOT OF CLUNKING IN A TRANSMISSION WHEN IT'S UP SHIFTING AND DOWN SHIFTING. ON THE ROAD UNDER 55 MPH. IDLE SURGES WHEN IT'S SWITCHING GEARS. WHEN IT GOES INTO V4 MODE AT ANY SPEED IT STARTS TO SHUDDER AND VIBRATE TO THE POINT AND YOU CAN FEEL IT IN THE GAS PEDAL AND STEERING WHEEL AND A LITTLE BIT IN THE SEAT. AND NOW ITS MAKING A RUBBING NOISE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ACTIVATED REMOTE START ON VEHICLE. AS I GOT INTO VEHICLE, MY PASSENGER NOTICED A BURNING SMELL AND THEN SAW THICK SMOKE COMING FROM REAR WINDOW. I TURNED OFF THE REAR DEFROSTER AND THE SMOKE STARTED TO DISSIPATE. MY REAR WINDOW THEN SHATTERED. GM RECALLED 159,000 VEHICLES IN CANADA DUE TO WHAT SEEMS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE WITH REAR DEFROSTERS. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED IN THE UNITED STATES.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
STOCK LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM AND HAVE A SHARP CUTOFF LINE THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DRIVING AT NIGHT . I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE LINES WHEN IM DRIVING AND CARS COMING THE OTHER WAY, BUT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE IF ROAD IS DARK AND CARS COMING OTHER WAY. PLEASE FIND A STOCK 2015 CHEVY 2500HD WORK TRUCK AND CHECK LOW BEAM. HIGH BEAMS ARE WONDERFUL, BUT CAN'T DRICE WITH THEM ON, ALTHOUGH LOOKING AT EVERY OTHER CAR ON ROAD AND HOW BRIGHT SOME ARE I PROBABLY CAN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE ABOUT 85000 MILES ON MY CAR, I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP. THE CODE FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME UP AS P06DA WHICH MOST LIKELY INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE OIL CONTROL SOLENOID (BASED ON MOST OF THE VIDEOS AND REVIEWS ON THE INTERNET). UNFORTUNATELY, GM NEVER MADE A RECALL ABOUT THIS!! THIS PROBLEM COSTS ABOUT 3K TO FIX AT THE DEALER.
