STEERING, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
WHEN THE BELOW MESSAGES ARE RECEIVED, STEERING THE VEHICLE IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT, THE STEERING WHEEL THRASHES BACK AND FORTH (WHEN AT SLOWER SPEEDS - I.E. ATTEMPTING TO PARK) AND USUALLY ENTERS A "LOW POWER MODE" WHERE YOU CAN'T ACCELERATE, STEER OR ABOUT ANYTHING. IN ALL CASES, TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE AND RESTARTING SEEMS TO RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN. 9/6/15: WHILE MAKING A TURN, RECEIVED A "STABILITRAK OFF" AND "POWER STEERING ASSIST REDUCES DRIVE WITH CARE" 9/8/15; RECEIVED THE ABOVE TWO MESSAGES PLUS "SERVICE 4WD" - 9/10/15 DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSFER CASE ACTUATOR PER TSB 9/14/15: RECEIVED STABILITRAK AND PWR STEERING MESSAGES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PARK THE TRUCK -- DEALER STATED LOVE VOLTAGE CODES PRESENT, SO THEY CHARGED THE BATTER AND RETURNED THE TRUCK TO ME. 9/16/15: HAD THE STEERING WHEEL THRASHING WHEN BACKING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, BUT NO MESSAGES 9/24/15: WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY (LUCKY TRAFFIC WAS SLOW) RECEIVED THE STABILITRAK (TWICE) AND PWR STEERING MESSAGES, SO I EXITED TO TAKE SIDE STREETS HOME. WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN RECEIVED THE STABILITRAK AND PWR STEERING MESSAGE, THE LOW POWER MODE AND THRASHING STEERING. THIS OCCURRENCE WAS IN TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS. CURRENTLY AT DEALER, THEY STATE THEY ARE REPLACING BOTH POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CABLES AND REROUTED A WIRE THAT MAY HAVE BEEN RUBBING THE FRAME. NOTE: THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2015 MODELS FOR THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING (EPS) GM # 14743 -- SAME SYMPTOMS...

SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN TURNING MY TRUCK LEFT OR RIGHT, THERE IS A CLUNKING/POPPING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK (MAYBE FROM THE FRONT END). CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN PORTLAND,TX CONFIRMED THE NOISE BUT COULD NOT FIND THE ORIGIN OF THE NOISE. SO THE SERVICE MANAGER STOPPED WORK AND SAID THAT THEY WERE CHASING A "GHOST". SO I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND HE DID NOTHING TO HELP ME AND ADVICE ME TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM AND MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN OCCURRING SO I AM NOT BUYING ANOTHER CHEVY IN MY LIFE, THANKS GM FOR PRODUCING ANOTHER SCREWED UP VEHICLE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FIRST INCIDENT THE STABILITRACK SERVICE LIGHT FLASHED SO FAST I COULD BARELY READ IT.. SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 20,2015 AND IT HAPPENED TWICE. THE STABILITRACK LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE DOOR LOCKS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED , LIGHTS WENT OFF AND ON , RADIO WENT OFF AND ON AND IT STALLED THE ENGINE ALMOST AS IF THE VEHICLE SHORTED OUT. LUCKILY I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT BECAUSE I HAD NO CONTROL. I APLLIED THE BRAKE AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER IT DID THE SAME EXACT THING AS I WAS PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY. IT IS AT THE DEALERSHIP NOW.

ENGINE
PURCHASED A NEW 1500 IN MAY OF 2014 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER NOTICED THE ENGINE HAS A RANDOM MISS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS AT IDLE. WILL EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT JERK AND WILL ALSO HESITATE TO PICK UP SPEED SHORTLY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE JERK. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO CHEVROLET ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT ONLY HAVE 4 INVOICES (FROM 11/20/14-8/26/15) WITH THE COMPLAINT LISTED. EACH TIME CHEVROLET STATED NO PROBLEM FOUND OR PRESENT EXCEPT FOR THE MOST RECENT INVOICE DATED AUG. 26, 2015 IN WHICH AFTER CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGER BECAME INVOLVED BECAUSE I COMPLAINED ABOUT AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE, HE DID STATE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED BY A "SENIOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN" AND SINCE NO CODE WAS PRESENT TO DIAGNOSE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM, GM WAS CONTACTED. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT GM STATED "THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CONCERN BUT AS YET HAVE NOT FORMULATED A REPAIR." I AM PRESENTLY STILL EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, BUT SINCE GM HAS NOT "FORMULATED A REPAIR" FOR AN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE CAUSE AND IN WHICH THEY FEEL "IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE" I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. BE SURE EACH COMPLAINT IS DOCUMENTED VIA INVOICE NUMBER AND MAKE SURE WHAT YOU ARE TOLD VIA PHONE AND OR IN PERSON IS WHAT IS STATED ON THE INVOICE.

STEERING, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, BRAND NEW IN MAY OF 2014. THE FIRST MALFUNCTION OF THE VEHICLE WAS JUNE 19 2014. THE STEERING WHEEL, IGNITION, AND CYLINDER REMAINED LOCKED AND I WAS RESTRAINED FROM STARTING VEHICLE I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE IN WHICH THEY WERE NO ASSISTANCE.I WAS ABLE TO START CAR AFTER APROX 30MIN. THE SECOND MALFUNCTION WAS IN MARCH 2015. MY TRUCK TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING, SPEED AND ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE. ONSTAR AND HIGHWAY PATROL WERE CONTACTED AND HIGHWAY PATROL ASSISTED IN PUSHING VEHICLE TO THE SHOULDER. THE THIRD INCIDENT WAS JULY 30. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK INTO PARADISE CHEVROLET FOR AN OIL CHANGE. A GAS ATTENDEE NOTICED I WAS LEAKING OIL. THE OIL CAP HAD NOT BEEN TIGHTENED CAUSING OIL LEAKAGE. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS AUGUST 11,2015. MY VEHICLE TURNED OFF ONCE AGAIN WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY HUSBAND AND FIVE MONTH OLD DAUGHTER IN IT, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING,SPEED AND ALL FUNCTIONS OF THE TRUCK. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART APROX.20MIN AFTER.HOWEVER, WHEN RESTARTED THE TRUCK MADE A NOTICEABLY SHAKEY MOTION. BOTH EVENTS IN WHICH THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF WHILE DRIVING WERE FOLLOWED SHORTLY AFTER PARADISE CHEVROLET OF VENTURA CA "UPGRADED SOFTWARE", WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE. BOTH TIMES I WENT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I WAS INFORMED AFTER THE FACT THAT THEY HAD UPGRADED SOFTWARE/ PREFORMED A "RECALL".

STEERING
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (ABOVE 50 MPH) AFTER DRIVING FOR 20 MINUTES TO 1/2 HR, A SLIGHT TURN TO THE LEFT (AT SPEED) CAUSES THE STEERING TO STICK/BIND. IT MAY BE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS PREVENTS THE WHEEL FROM RETURNING TO CENTER FROM THE LEFT TURN. THE RESISTANCE CAN BE OVERCOME BY INCREASING TO FORCE APPLIED TO EITHER RETURN THE WHEEL TO CENTER OR TO INCREASE THE LEFT TURN. UPDATE 9/15/15*CW *CN
