THE ENGINE BRAKING COMES ACROSS THE DASH AT BETWEEN SPEEDS 50 AND 55 WHEN FOLLOWING ANOTHER VEHICLE BY PRESSING ON THE BRAKES 3 TIMES. AFTER THAT EVERYTIME I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS ALL THE WAY TO FIRST GEAR.SO DON'T PUSH ON YOUR BRAKE PEDAL MORE THAN 3 TIMES OR YOU WILL BE IN FIRST GEAR. ALSO I WANT INCLUDE THAT THIS IS A WORK TRUCK 2 IN THE STANDARD CAB

SEAT BELTS
THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. I GOT BACK INTO THE TRUCK TO LEAVE AND I WENT TO PUT ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT AND IT BROKE OFF THE CABLE SHEARED. THERE WAS NO FORCE OR WARNING, IT JUST CAME OFF. THIS WAS A SEATBELT THAT WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED IN A RECALL BY GM FOR THE SAME THING.

2014 SILVERADO 1500 QUALITY ISSUES MY 2014 SILVERADO 1500 NEEDS A NEW $1,840 RADIATOR/OIL COOLER. THE TRUCK HAS 48,000 MILES PURCHASED NEW 5+ YEARS AGO, SO IT EXCEEDS THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY PERIOD. AT MY LAST 5,000 MILE OIL CHANGE, THE OIL WAS FOUND TO BE 2 QUARTS LOW WITH OIL IN THE COOLANT. GM HAS REFUSED (TWICE) TO ASSIST IN THE COST OF REPAIRS BECAUSE I DID NOT USE A GM AUTO SERVICE FOR MY OIL CHANGES. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED EVERY 5,000 MILES WITH DURABLEND BY AN INDEPENDENT QUICK OIL CHANGE SERVICE, A MILEAGE THAT EXCEEDS THE GM 7,500 MILEAGE RECOMMENDATION. I EXPLAINED TO GM CEO MARY BARA THAT I WAS UPSET WITH THIS DECISION - A TRUCK WITH 48,000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND THAT GM IS NOT ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS QUALITY PROBLEMS. I FURTHER ADVISED THAT I WOULD SHARE MY EXPERIENCE WITH OTHERS. LESS THAN SIX MONTHS AGO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED - BUT LUCKILY IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS. NOW THE GM SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS CHARGING ME $147 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE I'M NOT ENGAGING THEM TO DO THE REPAIR. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THIS TRUCK HAS CHRONIC QUALITY PROBLEMS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AFTER CHECKING INTERNET -ALSO A FRIEND HAD A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH YUKON. OBVIOUSLY IT WILL BE THE LAST GM VEHICLE I OWN.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
MY TRUCK TENDS TO MIMIC THE 19V761 RECALL OF 2014-2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADOS WITH THE 5.3L ENGINE AND 3.08 REAR AXLE. HOWEVER, MY VEHICLE IS THE 4.3L ON OCCASION, MY TRUCK WILL PULL TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT UNINTENTIONALLY DUE TO THE BRAKES BEING USED OUT OF MY CONTROL. I'M PARTICULARLY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE EVERY 2-3 SECONDS WHILE THIS IS HAPPENING. THE DEFECT ALSO HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHILE TRAVELING ABOVE 35 MPH AND DOWNHILL. MOST RECENTLY DURING A SNOW STORM IN 4WD. THE 'EPISODE' USUALLY LASTS UNTIL I RESTART THE VEHICLE. IF IT RESOLVES BEFORE I RESTART IT DOES SO VICIOUSLY, AND STEERING WHEEL CORRECTS ITSELF WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. I'VE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THERE'S NOT A RECALL FOR VIN NUMBER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FLEX FUEL SENSOR MALFUNCTION, CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO GO ON AND INABILITY TO REMOTE START CAR. VERIFIED WITH LOCAL THIRD-PARTY SHOP THAT NOTHING ELSE WOULD BE CAUSING THIS. DID NOT TAKE INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP AS HAVE HAD PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH INCORRECTLY FIXING A VOLUNTARY RECALL SO WE UTILIZED THE THIRD PARTY SHOP INSTEAD. LOCATED A GM SPECIAL COVERAGE BULLETIN (#14289) FROM 2014 THAT INCLUDED OUR MAKE/MODEL REGARDING THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE, BUT THE VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. BUT CHEVROLET CAN NOT TELL ME WHY THE VEHICLE IS NOT INCLUDED AND CANNOT LOOK UP THE SPECIFIC COVERAGE I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF ABOUT A YEAR, MAINLY IN THE WINTERTIME.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO, IT'S ELECKTRONICKS DEBILITY CONTROL SYSTEM COMES ON INADVERTENTLY, CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL. MY TRACK SHE CONTROL LIGHT COMES ON, STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT, BREAKS STOP WORKING, I HAVE GONE OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY TWICE IN THE PAST 3 WEEKS. I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO CHEVRON WAY AT LEAST 5 TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE WITH NO RESOLUTION. NOW MY VEHICLE AS A 101000 MILES AND THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT IT AGAIN WITH OUT MONEY. THIS IS THE MOST DANGEROUS VEHICLE I HAVE EVER DRIVEN, AND GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT HELP ME AT ALL. CHEVROLET WILL NOT HONOR THIS IS YOU AND WOULD RATHER ME CRASH MY VEHICLE, THEN HELP ME RESOLVE IT. STAY AWAY FROM GENERAL MOTORS THEY ARE NOT PUTTING OUT GOOD PRODUCTS AT THIS TIME PERIOD

SEAT BELTS
ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 2020, I, [XXX], ENTERED THE STATED VEHICLE AND ATTEMPTED TO ?BUCKLE-UP.? I GRASPED THE SEAT BELT.. AND PROCEEDED TO PULL INTO PLACE.... TO MY ASTONISHMENT THE END OF THE SEAT BELT ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE CAME RIGHT OUT OF THE SEAT. SEE ATTACHED PHOTO. UNFORTUNATELY, AT THAT INSTANT I WAS UNAWARE THAT A VOLUNTARY RECALL WAS ISSUED ON THIS PROBLEM ON APRIL 15 , 2016, FOR OVER 800,000 SIMILAR VEHICLES! I SERVICE MY SILVERADO AT THE PURCHASING DEALER SINCE PURCHASE DATE OF 06/17/14. MY QUESTION IS WHY DID THE CURRENT REPAIR PROTOCOLS NOT FIND & REPAIR THIS POTENTIALLY CATASTROPHIC SAFETY PROBLEM? WE AS CONSUMERS PLACE ALL OUR TRUST IN THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS AND ON-GOING CERTIFIED SERVICE CENTERS. THANK GOD THAT THIS EXPLANATION DID NOT COST ME OR MY FAMILY INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS CLAIM AND POSSIBLY MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO REQUIRE MANUFACTURERS TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING POSITIVE TO A KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT. WE ALL PUT OUR TRUST IN THIS SYSTEM! THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
