WHEELS
AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE, THE TRUCK SHAKES EXTREMELY BAD ON HIGHWAY, I NOTIFIED DEALER THE SAME DAY AND THEY HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION AFTER PERFORMING A ROAD FORCE TEST THAT THE WHEELS ARE EITHER BENT OR DAMAGED. THE SHAKE IS SO BAD IT IS HARD TO HOLD WHEELS STEADY AND TIRE ALMOST FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO COME OFF. THE DEALER IS STATING THAT THEY REFUSE TO PAY FOR THE COST TO FIX THE SAFETY PROBLEM EVEN UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE DRIVEN BACK AND FORTH AN HOUR EACH WAY TO DEALER OVER 5 TIMES NOW AND THEY DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE SITUATION. *TR

AIR BAGS
WHILE CITY STREET DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (APPROXIMATELY 38,500 MILES) ON 5/14/20 AT VARYING SPEEDS IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. UPON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED. NO PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THE TRUCK WAS BROUGHT TO AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP ON 5/21/20 TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. CODE BOO81 WAS SCANNED AND WIRING CHECKED. DIELECTRIC GREASE WAS ADDED TO CONNECTOR AND POWER REMOVED TEMPORARILY FROM PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE. TECHNICIAN NOTED THE MODULE "RELEARNED" AND ROAD TEST SHOWED NO FURTHER ISSUE. THE POWER WAS RECONNECTED. WHILE HIGHWAY DRIVING ON 5/26/20 AT VARYING SPEEDS IN NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT AGAIN APPEARED. ON SUBSEQUENT DRIVES (BOTH HIGHWAY AND CITY STREETS), THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD TURN ON THEN OFF. ADDITIONALLY, 5 AUDIBLE WARNING DINGS COULD BE HEARD BUT NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE SEEN. NO PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. AFTER BRINGING THE TRUCK INTO THE SAME GM DEALERSHIP ON 6/2/20, THE SERVICE ADVISOR RECOMMENDED THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO AVAILABLE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULES IN THE UNITED STATES. SERVICE ADVISOR TOLD ME WHEN THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT APPEARS, NO AIR BAGS WILL WORK IN THE TRUCK. AS OF 6/4/20, I WAS ASSIGNED A SENIOR ADVISOR BY GM TO OVERSEE MY CASE. THE TRUCK REMAINS PARKED AT THE DEALERSHIP AS IT'S CURRENTLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. NO ONE HAS BEEN INJURED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS BACKING UP MY SILVERADO AND MY TRAILER AT SLOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKES BECAME VERY STIFF AND I CONTINUED TO ROLL AFTER STEPPING ON MY BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS IN A STREET AND NOT ABLE TO CAUSE DAMAGE TO ANYTHING BEHIND ME. THIS WAS AFTER I ALREADY GOT THE RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. IT WAS CONCERNING BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS BEFORE THE RECALL AS WELL. I NOTICE THIS STIFF BRAKE MOSTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS AND HAVE NOTICED IT MOSTLY WHEN GOING IN REVERSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
OUR 2015 SILVERADO 1500 HAS STUTTERING/ HESITATION WHEN ACCELERATING, WHEN TURNING ON TO A STREET YOU CAN NOT GET UP TO SPEED QUICK ENOUGH IT ACTS LIKE THERE IS SOMETHING HOLD IT BACK. WE HAVE REPLACED THE SPARK PLUG AND WIRE AND ALL THE COIL PACKS. THE VOLTAGE METER ON THE TRUCK KEEP FLUCTUATING SO WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND THAT DID NOTHING AND KEPT FLUCTUATING SO WE GOT ANOTHER ALTERNATOR AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER AND ANOTHER.. SO 5 ALTERNATORS LATER AND STILL NO FIX. BUT THE HARD SHIFTING IS THE MAIN CONCERN. BECAUSE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING TRYING TO GET INTO ANOTHER LANE THE TRUCK WITH JUST START HESITATING AND JERKING UNTIL IT LAUNCHES INTO GEAR. 1ST GEAR GOING INTO 2ND GEAR THE TRUCK WILL SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD AND 2ND GOING INTO 3RD FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GALLOPING UNTIL IT FINALLY ENGAGES. THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED WITH ALL UPDATES BY AND ASE CERTIFIED MECHANIC. ALSO DID A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH AND CHANGED. NO SERVICE LIGHT. JUST BAFFLED WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT TRANSMISSION WHY NOTHING IS DOWN. IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON CRUISE CONTROL AROUND 70 MPH MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. ABOUT 20 SECONDS LATER AN ALARM SOUNDED AND A MESSAGE IN MY DASH SAYING TRANSMISSION FLUID HOT AND TO IDLE ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAD ALL SERVICES. ALTHOUGH THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE I SPOKE WITH SAID IT PROBABLY WAS JUST A SENSOR, I ELECTED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ADVISED ME THAT MY TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT CAUSING MY FRONT PUMP AND TRANSMISSION MODULE TO GO OUT AND I NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY. MY VEHICLE HAS 43,000 MILES AND I RARELY TOW A 3,000 LB BOAT. I WAS THEN TOLD MY 5 YEAR 60,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED 26 DAYS PRIOR TO THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE 1500S. THE DEALERSHIP IS CHARGING $6,100 AND GM IS ONLY WILLING TO COVER $1,800.
