SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS BACKING INTO A PARKING STALL THE THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN! BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOLID AND WOULD NOT DEPRESS TO SLOW THE TRUCK TO A STOP. ONLY AFTER EXTREME PEDAL PRESSURE WAS THERE ANY BRAKING ACTION, BUT ONLY SLIGHT. BECAUSE OF THIS I HIT THE WALL BEHIND THE TRUCK. IF SOMEONE WAS THERE, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. GM/CHEVROLET HAVE A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THIS ISSUE. AN INTERNET SEARCH CAME BACK WITH 312,000 RESULTS. I'VE TALKED TO MY SELLING CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY RELUCTANT TO DEAL WITH IT. DOES SOMEBODY NEED TO DIE BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE. THIS IS THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME MY BRAKES HAVE FAILED.

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. WHEN REVERSING UP A DRIVEWAY THE TRUCK WILL STALL AS THE GAS IS PRESSED IT WILL REV UP BUT NOT GO ANYWHERE, THEN JUMP INTO REVERSE AS IF THE PETAL WAS FLOORED. ALSO SOME TIMES WHEN ENTERING THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION DOESN'T SHIFT INTO THE CORRECT GEARS ALSO JUMPING INTO GEAR WHICH COULD CAUSE ACCIDENTS.

WHEELS
AT SLOW SPEED, WHILE MANEUVERING INTO A TIGHT PARKING SPOT, BRAKES ANTILOCK BRAKING KICKED IN AND MADE THE BRAKE PEDAL VERY STIFF AND PREVENTING APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES CAUSING THE TRUCK TO ROLL FORWARD ALMOST HITTING THE PARKED CAR BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE RELATED TO THE DESIGN OF THE ABS SENSOR AND BRAKING SYSTEM ON THE CHEVY MODELS AND RECALLS FROM ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO. THIS TRUCK IS A MN VEHICLE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2015 SILVERADO WITH 59,000 HAD THE AC GO OUT. THE AC BLOWS WARM AIR WEHTER IT IS PARKED, DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY @ 65MPH. APPARENTLY THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER GM OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS ISSUE IS ON SIERRAS, SILVERADOS, TAHOES, YUKONS, AND ESCALADES! IT IS A DEFECTIVE AND WELL KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE AC CONDENSER/COMPRESSOR. IT COST OVER $1,000.00 TO FIX AND IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WITH NO GM OR DEALER DISCOUNTS. THE ISSUE IS SO MAJOR THAT THE BACK ORDER FOR THE PART TAKES MONTHS AND THERE ARE OVER 18,000 UNITS ARE ON BACK ORDER! YES! 18,000 UNITS!
