STEERING
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION MOVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT A VERY SLOW SPEED (INCHING OUT OF CAR WASH DURING DRYING CYCLE). DASH SERVICE INDICATOR CAME ON "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE". LOST POWER STEERING ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY AS DASH SERVICE WARNING APPEARED. WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT OF GAS STATION WITH NO POWER STEERING AND PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED OFF TRUCK. CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE IF ANY NOTICEABLE LOOSE CONNECTIONS (NONE). WIGGLED FUSES IN FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND DASH "SERVICE" INDICATOR FLASHED ON BUT POWER STEERING WORKED FOR 2 CORNERS (200 YARDS) WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND FAILED WITH SAME SERVICE WARNING. LIMPED TRUCK WITH NO POWER STEERING TO DEALER ABOUT 3 MILES. NO NOTICEABLE AFFECT TO ACCELERATOR OR OTHER ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS 39,400 MILES ON IT.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER SUFFERED A CRACK AND LEAKED REFRIGERANT REQUIRING THE ENTIRE CONDENSER TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. GM HAS OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART FOR OTHER MAKES AND MODELS WHICH USE THE EXACT SAME UNIT, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO OFFER THE SAME COVERAGE TO SILVERADO OWNERS. A LACK OF A/C IN THE GULF COAST REGION RESULTS IN EXTREMELY HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES WHICH POSE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS REQUIRE DRIVING WITH WINDOWS DOWN WHICH POSE SAFETY HAZARDS DUE TO REDUCED AWARENESS RESULTING FROM SUBSTANTIAL WIND NOISE WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AT LOW SPEEDS OF 15MPH OR LESS, WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE VEHICLES BRAKE ASSIST STOPS WORKING AND THE ELECTRIC TO THE CAR FLASHES OFF. IF SPEEDS ARE LOW ENOUGH AND YOU APPLY BRAKES WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUTOFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND POOR DESIGN.

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE CHEVY AC COMPRESSOR BOLT BROKE BEFORE 48K MILES WHILE DRIVING ON A PAVED CITY STREET IN SAN DIEGO. THIS FAILURE CAUSED THE CONDENSER TO ALSO FAIL AND BOTH PARTS HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE TOTAL BILL FOR REPAIRS IS $2,150.31 AND THE COPY OF THE INVOICES IS SUBMITTED (EXCLUDE THE FUEL FILTER REPLACEMENT COSTS AS THAT WAS REGULAR MAINTENANCE WORK). THE AC COMPRESSOR FAILURE IS CAUSED BY CHEAP PARTS AND IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR ALL GM PRODUCTS BEFORE 100K MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ITEM AS IT IS A SAFETY RISK IF THE FAILURE RESULT IN A VEHICLE FIRE OR DRIVE BELT FAILURE (STRANDED VEHICLE) OR A LOSS OF FOCUS WHILE DRIVING.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKING IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS TO STOP, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE HAD MANY VERY CLOSE ACCIDENTS WHERE I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP PROPERLY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO THE BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP. THIS NEEDS A RECALL!

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE MEASURES EMPTY CAUSING DANGER OF RUNNING OUT OF DIESEL ON HIGHWAY. EVEN AFTER COMPLETE FUEL UP, THE DASHBOARD NEEDLE AND ELECTRONIC READERS IS STILL MARKING EMPTY. THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS RECALL ON THIS ON PREVIOUS MODELS. MY 2015 ONLY HAS 60K MILES AND IT SENSORS OR FLOATERS ARE NOT WORKING. VERY DANGEROUS TO RUN OUT OF FUEL WHEN TOWING ON HIGHWAY.

STEERING
WHILE MAKING A SLOW SPEED RIGHT TURN, 5 MPH, AFTER STOPPING AT A BUSY CITY STREET INTERSECTION, THE POWER STEERING TURNED OFF AND I NEARLY STRUCK ANOTHER CAR COMING FROM THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO TURN MY VEHICLE OUT OF THE WAY EVEN WHEN I USED ALL MY STRENGTH TO TURN. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY, ALWAYS WHILE ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED MOSTLY ON CITY STREETS AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TIGHT, RIGHT TURN INTO PARKING STALLS. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER BUT, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND STATED THEY COULD NOT FIX IT FOR THAT REASON IN JUNE 2019. I RETURNED THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY, 7/1/2019, FOR ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. WAITING FOR A RESOLUTION. THIS TRUCK HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. ## VIN PASSED ## CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD 2015 ##

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE ASSIST VACUUM PUMP FAILS. SPECIAL BULLETIN ISSUES WITH WARRANTY EXTENSION. WHAT GM IS FAILING TO TELL PEOPLE, BRAKING DOES NOT SIMPLY BECOME DIFFICULT AT LOW SPEEDS, BRAKES FAIL AT NORMAL SPEEDS. VEHICLE IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET IT STOPPED AFTER EXTREME EXTENSION OF NORMAL BRAKING DISTANCE. AFTER SUGGESTED WARRANTY REPAIR I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE INTERMITTENT ISSUES.

SERVICE BRAKES
MY TRUCK IS SHOWING SIGNS OF THE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP. PROBLEM WAS SPARATIC AND NOTICED IT SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE TRUCK WITH 95,000 MILES ON IT. NOW AT 105,000 MILES IT STARTED HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY SO I RESEARCHED IT. RANDOMLY AT SLOW SPEEDS LIKE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT OR MY DRIVEWAY OR EASING UP AT A STOP LIGHT IN TRAFFIC THE BRAKES LOSE ALL POWER ASSIST. IT FEELS LIKE THE ABS IS KICKING IN AND THE TRUCK JUST KEEPS ROLLING. IT TAKES ABOUT ALL THE FORCE YOU CAN GIVE TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. WILL BE BRINGING THE TRUCK INTO CHEVY THIS WEEKEND. WAS HOPING FOR A RECALL BEFORE I HAD TO DISH OUT THE MONEY SINCE IT DOES SEEM TO BE AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE PREMATURE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE WITH NO WARNING UNTIL THE TRUCK DOES NOT STOP.
