STEERING
NOTICED AN ISSUE AT ABOUT 70000 MILES WHERE TURNING LEFT AT LOW SPEEDS UNDER 10 MPH THERE IS A SOUND CLUNK IN THE STEERING. IT IS EASILY REPUTABLE AND HAPPENS OFTEN REGARDLESS OF DIRECTION, REVERSE OR FORWARD DRIVE. THE DEALER SAID IT IS A FAILURE OF THE STEERING RACK, AND IT NEEDS REPLACED. $1800 FOR THE PART AND $3 HOURS OF INSTALL BRINGS THE REPAIR TO $2400 FOR A 3 YEAR OLD TRUCK. I NOTICED MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME DESCRIPTION. DEALER STATES THAT THE RACK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND WOULDN'T RECOMMEND DRIVING IT UNTIL REPAIRED. I ASKED WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF IT FAILED COMPLETELY AND IF THIS WAS RELATED TO ANY OTHER RECALLS. THEY SAID COMPLETE STEERING LOSS AND THEY WOULD NOT SPECULATE ON RECALLS ASSOCIATED TO THIS FAILURE

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AC UNIT HAS GONE OUT TWICE NOW WITHIN 70K MILES AND I DRIVE A LOT IN TEXAS HEAT DRESSED PROFESSIONALLY AND HAVE 3 CHILDREN. I HAVE OWNED SILVERADOS SINCE I WAS 18 AND AM NOW 46 AND HAVE NEVER ONCE HAD AN AC PROBLEM. AFTER READING A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE FORUMS I OVER LAST FEW YEARS I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN RESOLVED AS A RECALL ISSUE ALREADY

SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN APPLYING BRAKE WITH MOTOR AT IDLE OR CLOSE TO IT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WILL GET HARD. I CHECKED VACUUM FROM THE SEPARATE VACUUM PUMP AND ONLY HAD 9 IN HG. IT WILL BUILD AND STORE SOME VACUUM BUT WILL ALSO FADE AS IT IDLES. I REPLACED THE PUMP AND I NOW HAVE 26 IN HG AND WHEN PARKING OR DOING SHORT MANEUVERS ALL IS GOOD. I HAVE REPLACED THE PUMP AT A PRICE OF $135 AND DID THE WORK MYSELF.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE RADIO RANDOMLY CHANGES STATIONS ON ITS OWN AND THE TOUCH SCREEN DOESNOT WORK AT RANDOM TIMES. THE FRONT DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE WINDOWS GO UP AND DOWN AUTOMATICALLY AND CANNOT BE STOPPED; WHEN THE WINDOW SWITCH IS DEPRESSED UP OR DOWN, THE WINDOW WILL MAKE ONE COMPLETE CYCLE OF OPENING AND CLOSING BEFORE STOPPING IN THE DIRECTED POSITION. BOTH THESE ACTIONS OCCUR RANDOMLY AND UNSUSPECTINGLY.

MANY TIMES THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD WHEN DEPRESSED AND STOPPING IS VERY SLOW. MOST TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED AT LOW SPEED WHEN APPROACHING STOP LIGHTS OR PARKING. ONE TIME WAS AT OVER 65MPH. HAVE BEEN TO 2 DEALERS AND NEITHER CAN GET THE ISSUE TO REPEAT OR GET A CODE TO DIAGNOSE. PROBLEM HAPPENED FIRST AT 40K MILES AND CONTINUES NOW AT 60K MILES.

ABOUT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I STARTED NOTICING PAINT PEELING OFF ON THE LOWER HALF OF THE DOORS, DRIVER AND PASSENGER OF ALL DOORS AND ALSO ON THE SIDES OF THE BOX. MY TRUCK IS 3 YEARS OLD WITH 59,000 MILES NOW. I WENT TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THEY SAID I SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET DIRECTLY. THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHER CHEVROLET TRUCKS THE SAME YEAR AND EVEN NEWER TRUCKS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD MUD FLAPS INSTALLED SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW( THE DEALER BLAMED IT ON ROCK CHIPS WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK). I HAD TO START COMPLAINING SOMEWHERE RIGHT!!

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY A STABILITRACK WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH STATING IT MIGHT AFFECT POWER STEERING ASSIST. THIS CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES. THEN WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND SIGNALING A LANE CHANGE THE CRUISE WAS CANCELLED. THIS ALSO OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. IT ALSO APPEARED THAT THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERED ,BUT I WASN'T SURE BECAUSE OF THE SUNLIGHT . LATER THAT EVENING I WAS MAKING A TURN ON A CITY STREET WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND I HAD NO POWER STEERING. THIS LASTED ABOUT 2 SECONDS BEFORE EVERYTHING CAME BACK ON. AFTER THAT EPISODE IT HASN'T HAPPENED SINCE. AFTER READING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN AND COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. IT SEEMS THAT WHEN THE CRUISE WAS CANCELLED WHEN SIGNALING THE LANE CHANGE, THAT IF I PUSHED UP OR DOWN ON THE TURN SIGNAL LEVER AT THE END OF THE LEVER IT WOULD CANCEL THE CRUISE CONTROL. I TRIED PUSHING DOWN ON THE LEVER CLOSER TO THE STEERING COLUMN AND THAT DIDN'T CANCEL OUT THE CRUISE CONTROL. I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE OR IT JUST WASN'T MALFUNCTIONING AT THE TIME.
