AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" DRIVING ON N LOOP 820. VEHICLE DRIVING AHEAD OF ME BEGAN TO SWERVE, AND I AVOIDED THE CAR. ROADS WERE MODERATELY WET--I WAS TRAVELLING AROUND 40 MPH DUE TO POSSIBLE ICE ON OVERPASS. I WAS IN EXTREME LEFT LANE, BEGAN TO SLIDE AND TURNED INTO THE DIRECTION I SKIDDED AND MADE CONTACT WITH CENTER MEDIAN OF HIGHWAY. NEXT EXIT WAS CAMPUS DRIVE. THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SENSOR WAS ILLUMINATED. I CALLED 911 AND POLICE VEHICLE ARRIVED AN HOUR LATER. THE TRUCK WAS IN THE MOST EXTREME LEFT HAND LANE BLOCKING DRIVERS BEHIND ME. THE SENSOR REMAINED ON, BUT THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WAS TOWED TO BRUCE LOWRIE CHEVROLET.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING VEHICLE, THE PUMP STOPS CONTINUOUSLY, AS THE HANDLE SHUTS OFF AS FUEL WILL NOT FLOW INTO TANK. FUEL IS UNABLE TO FLOW INTO TANK, SO HANDLE SHUTS OFF. YOU HAVE TO FUEL AT ONLY A TRICKLE. YOU SPEND TWENTY MINUTES TO TRY AND FILL THE VEHICLE. IF THE SYSTEM IS FOR VAPOR CONTROL IT HAS FAILED BECAUSE OF POOR DESIGN. YOU SPEND SEVEN TIMES MORE TIME,, STANDING AROUND PLAYING WITH THE FUELING HANDLE TO GET SOME FUEL INTO THE SYSTEM, THAN A SIMILAR VEHICLE NEXT TO YOU.

STEERING
I HAD MY 3 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AT THE TIME THAT I LOST CONTROL ON MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. I WAS TURNING AND THE WHEEL BEGAN TO TURN ON ITS OWN AND WAS HARD TO CONTROL. THE INTERNAL COMPUTER KEPT SWITCHING ON AND OFF AS IF IT HAD A MIND OF ITS OWN. I WAS INCHES AWAY FROM HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE AND BEING AT FAULT OF AN ACCIDENT, NOT TO MENTION THE DANGER MY DAUGHTER WAS IN. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE BUT I HIT A SIDEWALK DAMAGING THE BOTTOM LEFT SIDE ON MY BUMPER. I WILL NEVER AGAIN MAKE ANOTHER CHEVROLET PURCHASE, AND PUT MY DAUGHTERS LIFE IN DANGER.

SERVICE BRAKES
I'VE NOTICED MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN BACKING UP AT SLOW SPEEDS SUCH AS BACKING INTO A PARKING SPACE THAT THE BRAKES ARE VERY WEAK. I'VE HAD TO APPLY VERY HARD PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDDLE TO STOP AND VERY NEARLY HIT A LIGHT POLE ONCE. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN IN HUMID OR RAINY WEATHER. I'VE HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED, PADS AND ROTORS CHECKED OUT FINE. I ALSO SPOKE WITH ANOTHER SILVERADO OWNER WHO NOTICED THE SAME ISSUE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TWO TIMES TONIGHT WITH TWO DIFFERENT VEHICLES IN TWO DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. CURRENT GENERATION CHEVY SILVERADO "LOW" BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREME DANGER TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. WHEN BEING APPROACHED BY CURRENT (2014 & NEWER) SILVERADOS THE ONCOMING DRIVERS "DIMMED" THEIR LIGHTS RESULTING IN NO CHANGE TO THE BLINDING LIGHT APPROACHING ME. THE ONLY WAY I COULD TELL THAT THE DRIVERS "DIMMED" THEIR LIGHTS WAS THE CHANGE FROM 4 ONCOMING LIGHTS TO 2 ONCOMING LIGHTS, THE BLINDING INTENSITY REMAINED THE SAME. THIS MARKS THE UMPTEEN-THOUSANDTH TIME I HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY BLINDED BY CURRENT GENERATION SILVERADO "LOW" BEAM HEADLIGHTS. I MIGHT AS WELL DRIVE WITH MY EYES CLOSED BECAUSE I AM TOTALLY BLIND AFTER MEETING AN ONCOMING CURRENT GENERATION SILVERADO.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT KEPT COMING ON, AND WHEN I WOULD BE GOING AT A LOW SPEED AND APPLYING THE BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDDLE WOULD GET VERY HARD AND STIFF. I WOULD HAVE TO APPLY ALL POSSIBLE WEIGHT I CAN IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. I WAS INFORMED TODAY THAT A VACUUM PUMP IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS IS BECOMING A COMMON PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE SEEING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AS I COULD HAVE EASILY HIT SOMEBODY, OR BEEN UNABLE TO STOP WHEN BACKING INTO MY GARAGE. IF IT HAD BEEN MY WIFE DRIVING, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED WITH HOW HARD I WAS HAVING TO PRESS THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IN A PARKING LOT IN MOTION, AND ALSO WHILE BACKING INTO MY GARAGE

STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASE A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 FROM A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN APRIL 2017 FOR MY SON TO GO TO COLLEGE. THE TRUCK WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION. IT WAS A "CERTIFIED USED VECHICLE". THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED AN ADDITIONAL 20,000 MILE OVER OEM WARRANTY WITH THE CERTIFIED STATUS. WE TOOK THE TRUCK HOME AND MY SON STARTED DRIVING THE TRUCK. ROUGHLY A MONTH LATER, WE BOTH NOTICE THE CLEAR COAT ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR BEGAN TO PEEL IN A SMALL SPOT. WE TOOK THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT IT'S 1ST SERVICE INTERVAL AND ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE SPOT. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT THIS WAS A VERY UNUSUAL SITUATION, AND UNFORTUNATELY SINCE THE ORIGINAL 36,000 MILE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER AN ANOTHER MONTH HAD PASSED, WE NOTICED THE SPOT ON THE DOOR HAD GROWN LARGER, AND THERE WERE ADDITIONAL SPOTS POPPING UP ON VARIOUS SPOTS ON THE TRUCK. I PERSONALLY TOOK THE VECHICLE TO THE DEALER AND ONCE AGAIN THEY INDICATED THIS WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND CHEVROLET CURRENTLY WASN'T EXPERIENCING AND ISSUES WITH THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT PROCESS. MY SON WENT TO COLLEGE THIS FALL, AND UPON HIS RETURN FROM COLLEGE I SAW THE SPOTS OF CLEAR COAT CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN SIZE AND NUMBER. I RECENTLY WENT ONLINE AND CLICKED SEVERAL CHEVROLET FORUMS REGARDING THE FALLIBILITY OF THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT. I WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THEIR PAINT AND CLEAR COAT. THIS WASN'T AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AS THE DEALER INDICATED BUT ONE THAT INVOLVES MANY TRUCKS AND CARS THAT CHEVROLET PRODUCES DURING THE YEARS OF 2013-2015. CAN THERE BE SOMETHING DONE REGARDING THIS MATTER. I AM AWARE THAT THIS ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE PER SAY; HOWEVER, WE HAVE A PROBLEM THAT CHEVROLET ISN'T WILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR REPAIR.

SERVICE BRAKES
AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY AMOUNT OF TIME AT A HIGHWAY SPEED, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH AND THE VEHICLE WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL FOR SEVERAL FEET AT SLOW SPEEDS, USUALLY UNDER 10 MPH. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN COMING TO A STOP LIGHT OR TRYING TO PARK IN A PARKING LOT. VERY UNSAFE. I BACKED INTO A CONCRETE WALL, LUCKILY DID NOT DAMAGE MY TRUCK. AFTER RESEARCH, MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED IT IS A DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. POOR PERFORMANCE BY GM, NOT TO MENTION THE LACK OF CUSTOMER SERVICE OR BACKING OF THE BAD PARTS THEY ARE PUTTING IN VEHICLES. BRAKES NOT WORKING IN A VEHICLE DUE TO A FAULTY PART IS UNSAFE. I'M HAVJNG TROUBLE HAVING GM EVEN ADMITTING IT'S A PROBLEM, AND I HOPE I DON'T INJURE OR KILL MYSELF OR SOMEBODY ELSE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. 71000 MILES

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, SEAT BELTS
I'VE HAD TO GET A NEW PAINT JOB BECAUSE CLEAR COAT WAS COMING OFF. EGNITION SWITCH LOCKED UP. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS COME ON MULTIPLE TIMES I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY NOTHING IS WRONG WITH IT. BUT TELL ME I CAN'T LET IT GET BELOW A HALF TANK OF GAS. BACK AXLES LOCK UP. AND SEAT BELTS LOCK WHEN GOING ABOUT 50 MILES PER HOUR. AND THE AIR CONDENSER COUGHT ON FIRE. NOW WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT AROUND $6000 IN REPAIRS

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
I HAVE A 2014 SILVERADO WITH 60K MILES. ON SUNDAY, I WAS PULLING INTO THE GARAGE AFTER A SHORT ERRAND AND I LOST MOST OF THE BRAKING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE BACKWARDS AND IT DID THE SAME THING. I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE THE ISSUE WENT AWAY, MIND YOU DURING ALL OF THIS THE ABS LIGHT NEVER CAME ON EITHER. SEARCHING ONLINE I FOUND A BULLETIN IN SOME RARE SITUATIONS, A CUSTOMER MAY COMMENT ON A HARD BRAKE PEDAL OR THAT INCREASED EFFORT IS NEEDED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHILE PERFORMING NORMAL DIAGNOSTICS, FLUID MAY BE FOUND IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND/OR THE BOOSTER VACUUM LINE. IF ENGINE OIL IS FOUND, IT IS IMPORTANT THE FOLLOWING PARTS ARE REPLACED. IF NOT, THE CONDITION WILL RETURN. 1. VACUUM PUMP 2. VACUUM LINE BETWEEN THE BOOSTER AND THE PUMP 3. BRAKE BOOSTER 4. MASTER CYLINDER AFTER FINDING THIS AND READING ALL THE ACCOUNTS I FEEL LIKE GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS A SPECIAL COVERAGE. THIS IS 100% SAFETY CONCERN
