SERVICE BRAKES
THE TRUCK EXPERIENCED A HARD BRAKE PEDAL AT LOW RPM, STOP LIGHT, PARKING LOT, ETC. WHEN BRAKE IS DEPRESSED THE PEDAL IS HARD TO PRESS AND THE BRAKING ABILITY IS REDUCED AND THE TRUCK WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL. CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND ISSUED A BULLETIN IN FEBRUARY 2015, MY 2015 WAS PURCHASED IN SEPTEMBER 2015. WHEN I COMPLAINED OF THE ISSUE AT DEALER, I WAS TOLD I AM OUT OF WARRANTY AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY A PORTION OF THE REPAIR ON A KNOWN DEFECT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE HMI IN THE TRUCK WILL SHOW THE RADIO INFO OR BACK-UP CAMERA PICTURE, ETC. BUT, AT DIFFERENT RANDOM TIMES, EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A VISUAL OF RADIO OR BACK-UP PICTURE, THERE IS NO SOUND.FOR RADIO, BLINKERS, SEAT BELT, IF YOUR ARE GOING TO HIT SOMETHING BEHIND YOU,ETC. THIS ALL HAPPENS RANDOMLY. WHETHER PARKED, DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, STREETS OR TURNING. THE OTHER PROBLEM WHICH MAY NOT BE RELATED TO ABOVE, IS THAT EVEN THOUGH ALL FOUR DOORS LOCK WHEN YOU USE THE KEY FOB, MANUALLY LOCK THEM OR START DRIVING THE TRUCK, ONE OF THE REAR DOORS WILL OPEN LIKE IT WAS NEVER LOCKED.

STEERING
THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A POPPING NOISE EVERY TIME I TURN IT. THE 2ND THING IS, I HAVE LOST POWER STEERING 8-10 TIMES WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING SPOT. ONE TIME IT STALLED THE ENGINE AND LOST ALL POWER FOR 30-40 MINUTES AND I HAD TO UNHOOK THE BATTERY CABLES TO RESET SO IT WOULD CRANK. MAKES ME FEEL REAL SAFE WHILE GOING AROUND A CURVE AT 60 MPH WONDERING IF I'M GOING TO LOSE POWER AGAIN.

STRUCTURE:BODY
I PURCHASED A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR MY SON. AT 44000 MILES HE NOTICED THE PAINT PEELING. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE PURCHASED AND SPOKE WITH THE BODY SHOP SUPERVISOR. HE TOLD ME THE TRUCK HAD BEEN PAINTED TWICE AT THE FACTORY. AT THIS POINT, GM OFFERED ME 1000 DOLLARS OF THE COST TO REPAIR THE TRUCK. I CONTACTED GM EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND AFTER RESEARCH WAS TOLD THE TRUCK HAD NO HISTORY OF BEING PAINTED TWICE AND THERE OFFER STOOD AT 1000 DOLLARS OF THE REPAIRS. SO, I WENT TO THREE DIFFERENT BODY SHOPS AND THEY ALL TOLD ME THE TRUCK HAD BEEN PAINTED TWICE. THE LAST SHOP I WENT TO EVEN MEASURED THE THICKNESS OF THE PAINT TO PROVE IT. ANY HELP APPRECIATED.

I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE INTO THE SELLING DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR A BAD VIBRATION ISSUE. THE DEALER FINDS A BAD TIRE AND REPLACES IT AND THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES AND THEN IS REPEATED AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE LAST TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AND WHEN I GOT IT BACK IT HAD A VERY BAD VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE DEALER HAS PUT IDENTICAL TIRES AND RIMS FROM A NEW TRUCK ON THE LOT BUT DIDN'T FIX THE VIBRATION.THE DEALER REPLACED THE GEARS IN THE REAR AXLE THAT DIDN'T FIX THE VIBRATION. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR BEARINGS AND HUB ASSEMBLY THAT DIDN'T FIX THE VIBRATION. THE DEALER TRIED TO PUT DIFFERENT SIZE RIMS AND DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRES ON THAT DIDN'T FIX THE VIBRATION. NOW THE DEALER IS TELLING ME THAT GM WILL NOT DO ANYMORE AND SAYS THE TRUCK IS WITHIN SPECS. I CAN NO LONG DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY AS IT CAUSES ME TO GET HEADACHES AND BECOME DIZZY WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHEN TOWING A 15,000 POUND 5TH WHEEL CAMPER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRUCK'S TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM AND STABILITRAC SYSTEM WILL (WITHOUT ANY WARNING) SHUT OFF, LEAVING THE DRIVER WITHOUT ANY WAY TO ACTIVATE THE TRAILER BRAKES. NEITHER SYSTEM WILL RE-ACTIVATE WITHOUT FIRST STOPPING TRUCK, SHUTTING IT OFF, UNPLUGGING THE CAMPER 7 PIN, AND THEN DRIVING ABOUT A 1/2 MILE. THIS ISSUE FIRST OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 24,000 MILES AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 44,000 MILES. CHEVROLET HAS LOOKED AT THE TRUCK TWICE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. I HAVE ISOLATED THE PROBLEM TO OCCURRING WHEN I PASS UNDER CERTAIN LOW HANGING HIGH VOLTAGE POWER LINES. THERE ARE TWO LOCATIONS WHERE THE PROBLEM CONSISTENTLY OCCURS WHEN I PASS UNDER THE POWER LINES IN EITHER DIRECTION. REPLICATING THE PROBLEM SHOULDN'T BE AN ISSUE.

WHEN TAKING A LONG, RATHER SHARP TURN ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE WAS RESISTING AGAINST THE TURN MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
I WAS TRYING TO MISS A DEER UNSUCCESSFULLY AND WENT OFF ROAD AND THE SIDE OF ROAD HAD A BANK DROP OFF AND AS I WAS TRYING TO GET MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 BACK ON THE ROAD THE REAR END STARTED SLIDING DOWN THEN MY TRUCK TUCK OFF DOWN EMBANKMENT AND RESTED ON A COUPLE TREES ONE OF WHICH I HIT HEAD ON. AFTER I CAME TOO I LOOKED DOWN AND NOTICED MY AIRBAG HAD NOT CAME OUT ON THE STEERING WHEEL JUST ON THE SIDES. SO I WAS THINKING MAYBE MY TRUCK WAS NOT HURT THAT BAD. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS THAT I WAS LUCKY TO BE ALIVE AND TO PAY THIS MUCH MONEY FOR A VEHICLE AND THE AIR BAGS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SAVE YOUR LIFE DOES NOT WORK MAKES ME REALLY UPSET EVEN THOUGH I REALLY LOVED MY TRUCK. ACCIDENT EARLY MORNINGS OF OCTOBER 7, 2017.
