SERVICE BRAKES
VERY STIFF BRAKE PEDAL WHILE TRYING TO PARK AT SLOW SPEEDS. COULD NOT PRESS THE PEDAL HARD ENOUGH TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS BACKING INTO MY PARKING SPOT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AS THERE ARE PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. IT ALSO HAPPENED WHEN I BACKED INTO MY PARKING SPACE WHEN I RETURNED HOME.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE FORWARD PASSENGER SIDE DOOR ACTUATOR WENT OUT CAUSING MY DOOR TO BE UNABLE TO BE LOCKED OR UNLOCKED BY KEY, OR UNLOCK SWITCH ON DOOR. IT'S NOW COSTING ME $215 TO GET FIXED. AND I'VE SEEN MANY OTHER VEHICLES HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT'S UNSAFE IT WILL NOT LOCK DURING DRIVING AND CAN'T LOCK IT IN PUBLIC AREAS.

AIR CONDITIONING NOT WORKING. BLOWING HOT DUE TO WORN HOLE IN HOSE (THOUSANDS OF KNOWN ISSUES ALL WITH EXACTLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND FIXES... E X A C T L Y!!!!!!) CALLED CHEV, THE GUY SAID NHTSA TELLS THEM WHAT TO PAY FOR AND WHAT TO RECALL SO THEY'RE HANDS ARE CLEAN OF THIS ISSUE. PARDON????? WORN HOLE? CHECK BAD CONDENSER? CHECK NO BRACKET? CHECK DEALERSHIP/MANUFACTURER PARTICIPATION? NO WAY IN HELL! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE BUSINESS AND THERE'S NO WAY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND ANYONE ELSE I CAN CALL ARE NOT GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS. OH YEAH, THE A/C NEVER GETS USED, OTHERWISE I WOULD'VE HAD IT FIXED 20K MILES AGO UNDER WARRANTY BUT I DIDN'T KNOW IT WASN'T WORKING. THERE'S RESIDUE ON THE HOSES FROM THE LEAK WHICH THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD'VE CAUGHT BUT THEY DIDN'T. MAYBE I GO THAT ROUTE?

SERVICE BRAKES
MY COMPLAINT OR SAFETY NOTICE IS THAT ON AUGUST 12 2018 THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 BEGAN COMPRESSING A SHORT DISTANCE AND THEN BECAME EXTREMELY HARD, THE VEHICLE IS BY ALL PHYSICAL MEANS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STOP EVEN AT A VERY SLOW SPEED. I HAD MY TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER BELIEVING IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE "BRAKE SYSTEM VACUUM PUMP AND BOOSTER HAD FAILED DUE TO INTERNAL CONTAMINATION. THERE IS NO WARNING IN THE VEHICLE SENSING SYSTEM TO ADVISE THE OPERATOR TO HAVE THE BRAKES SERVICED FOR THIS ISSUE. CHEVROLET ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB #PIT5361A & #PIT5361B) IN 2016. OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. MINE BRAKES FAILED AFTER JUST PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY FROM A 600 MILE TRIP. HAD THIS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED, I WOULD HAVE LIKELY BEEN INJURED OR KILLED, AS WOULD ANY VEHICLE OCCUPANTS IN A CAR I COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY HIT. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM ONLINE, AND THERE ARE AN ENDLESS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS POSTED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. UNFORTUNATELY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL THAT I CAN FIND. IT WILL COST ME $1626 FOR THE REPAIR, I ASSUME THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE SAME TYPE THAT FAILED. UNDOUBTEDLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED, THERE ARE INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES DRIVING AROUND AS I WRITE THIS COMPLAINT THAT ARE UNAWARE THEIR BRAKES MIGHT FAIL THE NEXT MOMENT THEY NEED THEM. ASK YOURSELF IF THIS HAS ALREADY CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH, BUT THE FAILURE PERHAPS COULD NOT BE PINPOINTED DUE TO THE DAMAGE OF THE CRASH, REMEMBER THERE IS NO SENSOR OR WARNING FOR THIS ISSUE BEING LOGGED INTO THE CARS COMPUTER SYSTEM. ODDS ARE THIS HAS ALREADY CAUSED HARM. I'M ASKING THAT A RECALL BE IMPLEMENTED AND A SAFETY WARNING BE IMMEDIATELY RELEASED FOR VEHICLES THAT HAVE THIS DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. YOUR IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION COULD SAVE A LIFE.

EQUIPMENT, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WE WERE TRAVELING ON I-465 OR I-90 OUTSIDE OF INDIANAPOLIS WITH OUR 2016 LANCE CAMPER MODEL 995 ON OUR 2015 SILVERADO 3500HD. WE STOPPED AT A REST AREA ON I-90 AND FOUND THE AWNING AND AWNING ROLLER FOR THE SLIDEOUT ON THE CAMPER HAD DISAPPEARED. I HAD BEEN DRIVING AT OR UNDER THE POSTED SPEED LIMITS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE MOUNTS, BOTH DAMAGED, WERE ALL THAT WERE LEFT. THE CAMPER SIDE WAS ALSO SLIGHTLY CRACKED ON ONE CORNER AND BULGED ON THE OTHER. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. LANCE HAS REPLIED TO MY COMPLAINT STATING IT WAS NOT A WARRANTY ITEM ANY MORE SO CLAIMED THEY HAD NO LIABILITY. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED AND I COULD HAVE HURT SOMEONE. THE AWNING IS MADE BY CAREFREE OF COLORADO FOR LANCE. I WANTED TO HAVE THIS RECORDED BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OF ANECDOTAL INFORMATION OF OTHER SLIDE AWNINGS UNFURLING AND/OR COMING OFF SOME CAMPERS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE SYSTEM FAILS AT LOW IDLE SPEED. WHEN TRUCK IS PUT IN GEAR THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES STIFF AND VEHICLE CANNOT STOP. BRAKE PEDAL ALSO DOES THIS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. CHEVROLET SAYS THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? THE PROBLEM IS A MECHANICAL PUMP CALLED A POWER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP. WE WERE TOLD THIS CAN BE REPLACED FOR $1100 AND IS NOT A WARRANTED PART. THE ONLY WAY TO KEEP BRAKE PRESSURE AT LOW SPEED IS TO HOLD YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND GIVE VEHICLE GAS TO INCREASE THE RPM'S. HOW IS THIS SAFE?

MY 2015 SILVERADO HAS APPROX 80K MILES AND THE AC BLOWS HOT. THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THE AC CONDENSER CRACKED. I UNDERSTAND FROM READING MANY GM FORUMS THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE HAPPENING SINCE 2014. GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE FAULTY DESIGN AND STILL HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL OR TSB. I HAVE BEEN QUOTED A PRICE OF 1200 DOLLARS TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE.

MY 2015 SILVERADO BEGAN BLOWING HOT AIR WITH A/C ON. HAVE HAD REFRIGERANT ADDED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT LEAKS OUT IN 3-4 DAYS. ANOTHER SERVICE LOCATION IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A BAD A/C CONDENSER. LOOKED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE AFFECTED BY THIS EXACT PROBLEM. SOME ARE SAYING THAT THERE IS A RECALL BUT MY DEALER SAYS THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS OR RECALLS. THIS IS BEING REPORTED AS 'WIDESPREAD FAILURE' SO VAST THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE UNAVAILABLE DUE TO NATIONAL BACKORDERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN BLOWING OUT HOT AIR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (MASTER BUICK GMC, 3710 WASHINGTON ROAD, AUGUSTA, GA 30907, (706)-760-2303) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER FAILED.

POWER TRAIN, WHEELS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRUCK SHAKES SEVERELY WHEN DRIVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 70 MPH ON MANY DIFFERENT ROAD TYPES. THIS PROBLEM STARTED NOT TOO LONG AFTER I GOT MY TRUCK NEW. AFTER COMPLAINING ABOUT IT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THIS IS "STANDARD 22 INCH WHEEL VIBRATION." AFTER I HAD ABOUT 35000 MILES ON IT THE VIBRATION GOT SO BAD I COULDN'T STAND TO DRIVE ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TIRES WERE WORE OUT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS STILL PLENTY OF TREAD. HAD ANOTHER SHOP LOOK AT IT AND THEY FOUND ONE OF THE WHEELS WAS EVER SO SLIGHTLY BENT. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER TO CONFIRM. THEY SOLD ME A NEW WHEEL, THE PROBLEM DIDN'T GO AWAY OR CHANGE IN ANY WAY. I BOUGHT NEW TIRES AS THEY RECOMMENDED, PROBLEM WAS STILL THERE BUT NOT SO SEVERE UNTIL AFTER DRIVING A FEW THOUSAND MILES. THE MORE MILES I PUT ON THE TIRES THE WORSE THE VIBRATION GETS. TOOK IT BACK INTO THE DEALER AGAIN RECENTLY, THEY KEEP TELLING ME IT'S STANDARD VIBRATION FOR 22 INCH WHEELS. I KNOW THIS IS BOGUS BECAUSE I KNOW A FEW PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME WHEELS AND TIRES THAT DON'T HAVE THE SHAKING PROBLEM, THEY CAN DRIVE AS FAST AS THEY WANT AND IT'S SMOOTH. EVERYBODY THAT RIDES WITH ME ASKS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY TRUCK. HOW CAN I CONVINCE THE DEALER THAT THERE IS AN ACTUAL PROBLEM?
