ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
THE SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM WARNING CAME UP ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. REMOVING THE KEY AND OPENING THE DOOR RESET IT. THIS HAPPENED FRIDAY, MARCH 30TH. ON SUNDAY APRIL 1ST, A SIMILAR EVENT OCCURRED, EXCEPT THIS TIME, AFTER GETTING THE CAR STARTED I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE AND THE VEHICLE LOST ALL BRAKE/STEERING SUPPORT AND THEN THE ENGINE CUT OFF, LEAVING ME TO TRY BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP MYSELF (WHICH THANKFULLY I DID). I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FIRST THING ON MONDAY, APRIL 2ND, AND THEY RAN TESTS AND FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN SAYING TO REPLACE THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE AND THE JUNCTION BOX. BEING A SERVICE BULLETIN ONLY THOUGH, IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $675. BEING THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT CUTS ALL POWER WHILE SOMEONE IS DRIVING, I FEEL THIS TO BE UNFAIR.

62000 MILES, AND MY 2014 SILVERADO'S, AC CONDENSOR IS GAPPED, AND SEEPING FREON...THIS NEEDS TO BE A NATIONAL RECALL. EVEN AN AC MAN TOLD ME HE KEEPS A HUGE AMOUNT OF THESE CONDENSORS ON HAND BECAUSE THEY BREAK TOO OFTEN, AND TOO EARLY IN A 2014-15 SILVERADO'S. SIMPLY A DESIGN FLAW ..AND SAY TO COSTLY FOR SUCH A SIMPLE CRACK. THANK YOU FOR RECALLING THIS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM FAILED BECAUSE OF A LEAKING CONDENSER WITH ONLY 51,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. RESEARCHED AND FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT PROBLEM THAT GM IS AWARE OF. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AND REPAIR THESE VEHICLES. I WROTE TO CHEVY AND THEY WILL NOT REIMBURSE THE FEES I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIR. THE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, THIS SYSTEM FAILING WHEN JUST OUTSIDE WARRANTY IS NOT RIGHT.

SERVICE BRAKES
THIS BRAKE ISSUE IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. WITH MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM HASN'T MADE THIS A RECALL YET. ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION MY BRAKES HAVE STIFFENED UP AND STOPPED WORKING. ONE TIME WAS AT A STOP SIGN AND I HAD TO DRIVE IN THE DITCH TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. ANOTHER TIME WAS IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT AND I NEARLY HIT A PARKED TRUCK. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. GM, WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
WHILE AT A CHEVY DEALER TO HAVE A RECALL (17276 LOSS OF POWER STEERING) DONE ON MY TRUCK I ASKED THEM TO CHECK ON A GRINDING/WHINING NOISE FROM THE AREA OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ON THE ENGINE. THEY SAID IN FACT IT WAS THE BRAKE VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP, THAT IT SHOULD BE FIXED OR I COULD EXPERIENCE A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. THEY FURTHER EXPLAINED IT WOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT EXPIRED A YEAR AGO AND WOULD NOW COST ME SOME $440. AM WONDERING IF OTHER FOLKS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS. I'VE READ OF IT HAPPENING TO OTHERS ON CERTAIN INTERNET BLOG SITES. TO MY WAY OF THINKING THE BRAKES (AND I SUPPOSE LOSS OF ABS/TRACTION CONTROL) ARE AT LEAST AS IMPORTANT AS THE STEERING THAT WAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM TO ISSUE A RECALL. BTW THE TRUCK HAD 27,971 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, HARDLY 'WARN OUT'.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THE AC UNIT BEGAN BLOWING WARM AIR. I AM NOW FORCED TO DRIVE MYSELF AND MY INFANT SON WHILE BEING EXPOSED TO POTENTIALLY LETHAL TEMPERATURES INSIDE THE CAR. EVERY TIME I REMOVE MY SON FROM HIS CAR SEAT HE IS SWEATING. IN ADDITION, IF IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE MY WINDOWS BECOME ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE OUT OF SINCE THE DEFROSTER IS LINKED TO A PROPERLY WORKING AC UNIT. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN ALL SIMILAR VEHICLES AND HAS REFUSED TO RECTIFY THE HAZARD OR MITIGATE THE HEAT EXPOSURE TO MY CHILD.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
FAILURE OF STEERING, STABILITRAC, STEREO. WHEN YOU TRY TO STEER, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD JERK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, THE DASH LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER, THE HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER, THE RADIO WOULD MAKE A SHORTING SOUND, AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAC WOULD DISPLAY. AN ONLINE SEARCH FOUND SEVERAL THREADS ON THIS PROBLEM. IT HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF KILLING SOMEONE. GM HAS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (PIT5405A) RELATED TO THIS PROBLEM, YET THEY HAVE NOT ISSUED A RECALL? THE MOST COMMON SOLUTION APPEARS TO BE SOME RUBBER INSULATION PINCHED UNDER A GROUND LUG UNDER THE DASH SO IT'S NOT MAINTENANCE RELATED. YET, THEY ARE CHARGING OWNERS TO FIX IT?

SERVICE BRAKES
IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR IN A PARKING LOT IF YOU ARE ON AND OFF THE BREAKS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THE BREAK PETAL WILL GET HARD AND THE BREAKS GO OUT. IVE BROUGHT THIS UP TO CHEVROLET CORPORATE AND THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SAFTEY CONCERN AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE STABILITYTRACK WILL FLASH ON AND MAKE THE STEERING WHEEL VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER OR WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL WILL JERK OUT OF MY HAND AND NOT LET ME MANEUVER THE WAY I WANT TO. AT THE SAME TIME THE TRUCK WILL BRIEFLY LOSE ALL POWER DISABLING EVERYTHING. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN PARKING LOTS AS WELL AS EVERYDAY CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING AND AT ALL SPEEDS FROM AS SLOW AS 5MPH TO AS FAST AS 70MPH. THERE HAS 2 TIMES AFTER THIS HAPPENS THAT I TURN THE TRUCK OFF TO TRY TO RESTART IT, THE TRUCK WILL BE COMPLETELY DEAD. NOT EVEN THE HAZARD LIGHTS WILL COME ON. THERE ARE OTHER TIMES WHERE I WILL LOSE ALL POWER TO MY RADIO AND DRIVER INFO CENTER AND IT STAYS BLACK UNTIL I RESTART THE TRUCK A FEW TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP NOW 4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW AND EVERY TIME THEY SAY ITS SOMETHING NEW. I HAVE PAID A LITTLE OVER $800 SO FAR AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING. I AM NOW WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM GM/CHEVY TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO, BUT LOOKING AT WHAT I HAVE ALREADY DEALT WITH IT I AM NOT OPTIMISTIC. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND I AM AFRAID THAT ITS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RECOVER MY STEERING AND I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK.

STEERING
ON MARCH 1, 2018, I WAS DRIVING MY 2014 SILVERADO. WHEN I MADE A TURN MY POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. MY VEHICLL HAS 51,000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP HAD PREVIOUSLY FIXED A RECALL ISSUE RELATED TO POWER STEERING, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THIS REPAIR WOULD COST $2500 AND WAS NOT COVERED. GM AGREED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND OFFERED $1000 TOWARDS THE REPAIR.

ENGINE
I WAS DRIVING AROUND THE BACK OF A SHOPPING PLAZA WHEN MY ENGINE STARTED TO MAKE A STALLING SOUND FOLLOWED BY MY BELTS SQUEALING. MY GAUGES LOOKED FINE AND THEN I LOOKED AT MY SIDE MIRROR TO SEE SMOKE TRAILING MY VEHICLE. I STOP AND OPEN MY HOOD TO SEE THE ENTIRE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FILLED WITH SMOKE. I COULDN'T SEE ANY DAMAGE AT THAT POINT TO PIN POINT THE PROBLEM. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME MY A.C. COMPRESSOR SEIZED UP DUE TO LACK OF OIL IN THE COMPRESSOR AND MY ENGINE BELT WAS DESTROYED (WHICH WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE). I DID NOTICE EVERY TIME I TURNED THE FAN ON IN MY VEHICLE THE A.C. LIGHT WOULD ALWAYS COME ON BY ITSELF ENGAGING THE COMPRESSOR FOR THE A.C. SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 39450 MILES ON IT AND THIS INCIDENT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I HAD TO PAY THE DEALERSHIP ALMOST $1000 FOR THE REPAIR.
