STEERING
THE STEERING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING JERKS BACK AND FORTH VIOLENTLY WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO TURN. I'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE REPORTED ON 2014'S ALSO. WE WERE STOPPED WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED. THE STEERING JERKED AS I TRIED TO MOVE FORWARD AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE "STABILITRAK" BRIEFLY FLASHED ON THE DASH. THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. WE TURNED THE TRACTION CONTROL OFF, BUT IT TURNED ITSELF BACK ON AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN TRYING TO BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREWCAB LD HAS A VERY DANGEROUS STEERING ISSUE. THE PROBLEM IS THE STEERING SYSTEM FULLY GIVES OUT MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AND SOMETIMES THE WHEELS JERKS BACK APPROXIMATELY 1/4 TURN. GM HAS RECALLED TRUCKS FOR THIS ISSUE ON ALL SILVERADO MODELS 2014/15 EXCEPT THE 2015 CREW CAB . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE . THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 36,251 MILES AND IS TAKEN CARE OF TO THE FULLEST PER MANUFACTURERS GUIDELINES . THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT GM HAS ADMITTED IT AND RECALLED MANY VEHICLES OUTSIDE THE TRUCKS AS WELL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, HOPEFULLY THEY WILL DO THE RIGHT THING AND MAKE A RECALL FOR ALL AFFECTED MODELS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT.

AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM STOPPED WORKING ONLY BLOWS HOT AIR. CALLED DEALER ABOUT THE PROBLEM AFTER I LEARNED THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM. CHEVY WILL NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I TOLD THEM THIS WAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM STARTING WITH 2014 MODELS I WAS TOLD THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS. I WAS ALL SO TOLD THAT BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE ALL MY SERVICE WORK DONE WITH THEM THEY REALLY DON'T FEEL THEY NEED TO CUT ME A BRAKE I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FULL PRICE FOR REPAIR.

AFTER OWNING MY TRUCK FOR JUST OVER 2 YEARS AND 30K MILES, THE AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR. WHEN PURCHASED NEW AND FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS DRIVING IT, THE AC WORKED PERFECTLY, THIS HAPPENED FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT. AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE FOR A RESOLUTION, I CAME ACROSS MULTIPLE OTHER CHEVROLET OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE CULPRIT CAME TO BE KNOWN AS THE AC CONDENSER. IT IS KNOWN THAT THE CONDENSERS USED BY GM FOR THIS MODEL TRUCK HAVE WEAK WELDS AND THIS IS WHERE THE CONDENSER FAILS PRODUCING A SMALL LEAK. AS IT TURNS OUT, GM IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WITH THE AC CONDENSERS ON THESE VEHICLES AND REFUSES TO COVER THEM UNDER WARRANTY AND WANTS TO CHARGE UPWARDS OF $1K DOLLARS TO REPLACE. I AM COMPLETELY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS CONSIDERING MY TRUCK IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD WITH UNDER 35K MILES ON IT. THIS IS TOO NEW OF A VEHICLE FOR THE AC TO BE HAVING PROBLEMS THAT ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ENGINE HAS A TICKING NOISE LIKE A LIFTER OUT OF ADJUSTMENT. I'M TOLD THIS IS NORMAL ITS A TICKING FUEL PUMP FOR THE FUEL INJECTORS. I THINK GM IS BETTER THAN THAT AND CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO QUITE IT DOWN. IF THERE ENGINEERS CAN'T FIGURE IT GM SHOULD CONSIDER FINDING SOME THAT CAN! THE NEXT TIME I BUY A GM PRODUCT IT WILL NEED TO BE QUITE IF NOT I'LL BRAKE A FAMILY TRADITION FOR 80 YEARS AND BUY ANOTHER BRAND.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 5.3L 4X4 (48,000 MILES). WHILE DRIVING LAST NIGHT I WAS U-TURNING AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION WHEN THE TRUCK LOST ALL POWER, THEN FLASHED "STABILITRAK" ON THE DASH, AND JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HAND. SHOULD THERE HAVE BEEN SOMEONE COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION THERE SURLY WOULD HAVE A MAJOR HEAD ON COLLISION. I PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AFTER RE-FIRING THE TRUCK AND TRIED SOME LOW SPEED SHARP TURNS AND SURE ENOUGH THE SAME ISSUE. FLICKERING POWER, "STABILITRAK" FLASHING ON DASH, AND STEERING WHEEL JERKED OUT OF MY HAND. WHEN I SAY STEERING JERKED ITS NOT AS IF I JUST LOST POWER STEERING, THE WHEEL WILL ACTUALLY JERK AS IF ITS TRYING TO GET BACK TO CENTER ON ITS OWN. I LEFT THE TRUCK OVER NIGHT AND WENT BACK THIS MORNING TO HAVE SOMEONE FOLLOW ME HOME. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. THERE IS NO ISSUED RECALL FOR MY VIN. I'VE FOUND HUNDREDS OF STORIES AND VIDEOS ON THE INTERNET VERY SIMILAR TO MINE FOR THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE SOME RECALLS FOR OTHER MODEL YEARS THAT SOUND LIKE THEY ARE AIMED AT THE PROBLEM BUT NOT FOR MY MODEL/YEAR AND EVERYONE I'VE FOUND THAT HAS HAD THE RECALLS FOR STEERING AND VOLTAGE ISSUES SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. ITS TERRIFYING THINKING THAT IM DRIVING A 6,000LBS MASS THAT CAN SHUT OFF AND STEER ITSELF OUT OF NO WHERE. RIDICULOUS THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED OR EVEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY GM!

I'M ADDING TO THE GROWING LIST OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE AC ISSUES WITH GM/CHEVY FULL-SIZED VEHICLES FROM 2014-2015. AS OF 5/3/2018, I HAD NOTICED MY AC ONLY BLOWING HOT AIR. TRIED AGAIN THE FOLLOWING DAY, SAME THING. ONLY BEING 2 YEARS OLD, I FOUND IT INCREDIBLY ODD THAT THE FREON WOULD BE GONE ALREADY. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH ABOUT THE PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A TREMENDOUSLY EGREGIOUS KNOWN ISSUE WITH GMC/CHEVY OWNERS AND A RECALL REGARDING THE PROBLEM HAS STILL NOT BEEN ISSUED TO CORRECT IT. GIVEN THE FACT MY VEHICLE HAS JUST FALLEN OUT WARRANTY AS WELL, IT'S INCREDIBLY INFURIATING THAT I'M NOW FORCED TO HAVE THESE REPAIRS COME OUT OF POCKET AND WAIT NEARLY A MONTH FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY BY GMC/CHEVY BEFORE THE HOTTEST DAYS OF SUMMER ARRIVE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE PARKED OVER NIGHT IN THE GARAGE THE SABILITRAK LIGHT WAS ON AND SERVICE TRAILER SYSTEM. TRUCK WOULDN'T START SO I JUMP STARED HE TRUCK. THAT WORKED TWICE THOUGH OUT THE DAY AND ON MY LAST DRIVE WHILE I WAS REVERSING THE STEERING WHEEL WAS PULLED FROM MY HAND AND THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT CAME ON! FINALLY WHILE PARKED BEFORE MY TRUCK ENGINE WOULDN'T TURN OVER THE 'STABILITRAK' LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND 'SERVICE TRAILER SYSTEM' I'VE NEVER USED MY TRAILER SYSTEM. MY TRUCK WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER 'CRANK'. I HAD TO TOW MY TRUCK HOME AND I'M JUST HAPPY THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WASN'T PULLED FROM MY HAND WITH MY TWO KIDS WITH ME IN THE ROAD!

SEAT BELTS
THE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WILL NOT LOCK WHEN INSERTED IN THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER WHILE IT IS STATIONERY IT HAS TO BE INSERTED TWO OR MORE TIMES BEFORE IT CASHES. IT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON TWO OCCASIONS WHEN IT WAS TAKEN THERE FOR MAINTENANCE AND WE WERE TOLD WE HAD TO PAY FOR IT TO BE REPLACED. SO NOW MY HUSBAND IS DRIVING WITH A SEAT BELT THAT WILL NOT STAY LOCKED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.. ALSO I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT DATES BUT IT WAS REPORTED IN 2017.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE, WE CAME TO A STOP AT A GAS STATION. WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP WE STARTED SMELLING DIESEL FUEL, I ASSESSED THE VEHICLE UNDER THE HOOD AND UNDER THE TRUCK. IT WAS RAINING THAT DAY SO I COULDN'T TELL IF ANYTHING WAS LEAKING FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE. WHILE DRIVING THE REMAINING TWO HOURS OF OUR TRIP, OFF THE INTERSTATE, WE CAME TO A RED-LIGHT, WHILE MAKING THE RIGHT TURN THE TRUCK GOT SIDEWAYS IN THE INTERSECTION. CONTINUING THE TRIP AND ALMOST HOME WE WERE ON A HIGHWAY GOING 65MPH, THE TRUCK GOT SIDEWAYS AND LOST TRACTION AGAIN. CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE MY WIFE AND 15 MONTH OLD IN THE TRUCK, I PULL OVER AGAIN TO ASSESS THE TRUCK. AT THIS POINT FELT OF THE TIRES AND THEY HAD A OILY SUBSTANCE ON THEM, CAUSING THE TRUCK TO NOT HAVE ANY TRACTION IN THE RAIN, I ALSO SEEN A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF FUEL LEAKING FROM AROUND THE TRANSMISSION. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET LOOKED AT. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PIPES HAD A SEVERE FUEL LEAK FROM THE CONNECTORS. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OPEN ON THE VEHICLE. SO THEY ARE WANTING TO CHARGE ME OVER $1,300 TO REPAIR THIS, WHEN I FEEL LIKE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY A LACK OF QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL. ALSO I AM FAIRLY CERTAIN THAT THIS USE TO BE A RECALL, AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE. I FEEL LIKE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE ASAP, BEFORE IT KILLS SOMEONE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT JIM NORTON CHEVROLET (3131 N ASPEN AVENUE, BROKEN ARROW, OKLAHOMA, 918-258-8000) FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE CONDENSER BLEW OUT AND THE RADIATOR WAS FRACTURED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON MY WAY HOME PULLING A 5000 LBS BOAT AND TRAILER ON A PUBLIC HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY MY BRAKES GET HARD AS A ROCK AND LOOSE THE ABILITY TO BASICALLY STOP WITH ANY QUICK RESPONSE. AFTER LIMPING THE TRUCK A SHORT DISTANCE TO A FRIENDS BUSINESS I LEARN THIS TRUCK HAS A BRAKE POWER ASSIST PUMP???????????? CALL ME OLD FASHION BUT THE VACUUM USUALLY COMES FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD, NOT A RINKY DINK PUMP WITH A BELT TO DRIVE IT. TOTALLY UNSAFE IN MY OPINION. SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS BRAKES TO BE RELIED ON A RUBBER BAND AND A 5 DOLLAR CHINA BEARING. I FEEL THIS IS A POOR AND UNSAFE DESIGN AND COULD EASILY BEEN AVOIDED. NOW COMES THE ENJOYMENT OF HAVING IT REPAIRED AND ONLY A DEALER AVAILABLE PART. TRUCK JUST TURNED 50K AND MY DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THIS ITEM IS NOT.COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITHIN A 1 WEEK PERIOD, THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS WITH THE VEHICLE IN MOTION. A NOISE COULD BE HEARD SIMILAR TO THAT OF AN ACTIVE ABS. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WHILE PULLING INTO A CROWDED PARKING LOT. I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO PREVENT A COLLISION WITH A PARKED VEHICLE. THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS PARKING AT A CURB IN THE MAIN AREA OF MY TOWN AND AGAIN HAD TO UTILIZE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID HITTING A PARKED VEHICLE. INTERNET RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME EXPERIENCE.

WEAK PAINT, LOTS OF PEELING IN RANDOM SPOTS. SPECIFICALLY AROUND PASSENGER WINDOWS. DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT BEEN WILLING TO HELP OR FILE A COMPLAINT TO GM, SHOULD NOT PAY THIS MUCH FOR A VEHICLE AND THIS HAPPEN SO QUICKLY TO THE PAINT. I AM SCARED TO WASH IT, AS IT SEEMS TO MAKE THE ISSUE WORSE.
