TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S HUSBAND WAS WASHING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE PAINT WAS CHIPPING NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER'S DOOR AND HOOD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER (BILL MACINTYRE CHEVROLET BUICK, 10 E WALNUT ST, LOCK HAVEN, PA 17745, (866) 608-5724) WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL AND THE EXTENDED WARRANTIES HAD EXPIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA AND FILE A COMPLAINT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.

STRUCTURE:BODY, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH
THE VEHICLE HAD A HANDICAPPED DRIVER CONVERSION, WITH A GULL-WING DRIVER'S DOOR. THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS ONLY HELD CLOSED WITH A MAGNET AT THE FRONT OF THE DOOR OPENING. THERE WAS NOT A LATCH TO ACTUALLY HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED. IN THE ACCIDENT, THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON A GRAVEL ROAD. THE ROADWAY SHARPLY DESCENDED TO A LOW-WATER BRIDGE, WHICH CAUSED THE TRUCK TO ELEVATE AND LEAVE THE ROADWAY. WHEN THE TRUCK RETURNED TO THE ROAD, THE MAGNET HOLDING THE DRIVER'S DOOR FAILED, THE DRIVER'S DOOR POPPED OPEN, AND THE DRIVER WAS EJECTED 80 FEET. THE DRIVER IS NOW QUADRIPLEGIC, SUFFERING A C6-7 SPINAL CORD INJURY, AND A TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY. THE PHOTO FILES ILLUSTRATE THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR WAS RIPPED OFF BECAUSE IT WAS OPENED, AND THE PASSENGER DOORS WERE LOCKED COMPLETELY SHUT. *DT *DT *DT *DT*JB CONSUMER STATED THEY DID NOT CONTACT THE CONVERSION COMPANY, CONVERSION IS A FAULTY DESIGN. WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD, AND ENCOUNTERED A BUMP, THE DRIVER'S DOOR WOULD "BOUNCE", AND MOST OF THE TIME THE ROAD WAS VISIBLE THROUGH THE BOTTOM OF THE DOOR. VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS.*JB *DT *DT *TR*DT*JB*DT*DT *DL*JB

POWER TRAIN
WHEN IN MOTION HARSH SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS, SOMETIMES SO VIOLENT IT FEELS LIKE ANOTHER CAR HIT ME. WHEN ACCELERATING THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO SEARCH FOR GEARS, AND IS SLUGGISH FOR A HIGH HORSEPOWER VEHICLE. CONCERNING WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE IN TRAFFIC, TRANSMISSION HESITATES AND DOES NOT IMMEDIATELY APPLY POWER. HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICED 5 MONTHS AGO DUE TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE BETWEEN 20-35MPH. TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH HELPED FOR A FEW MONTHS, BUT SHUDDER IS RETURNING AS WELL.

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
IT SEEMS THAT MY VEHICLE IS LEAKING SOMEWHERE AROUND EITHER THE SUNROOF OR THE XM ANTENNA. I ALREADY HAD THE LEAK AROUND THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WHICH NOT ONLY FILLED THE LENS UP WITH WATER AND KEPT BLOWING BULBS FOR MY THIRD BRAKE LIGHT FIXED. BUT FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF DIFFERENT YEAR AND MODELS OF THE SILVERADO HAVE BEEN DOING SO. BUT SOME HOW WHEN IT RAINS OR I WASH MY TRUCK OR GO THRU A CAR WASH I GET WATER DRIPPING FROM MY HEADLINER ONTO MY HEATED SEATS, DOWN BEHIND MY DASH AND WATER PUDDLING UP INTO MY FLOORBOARD, ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WHEN THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT WAS LEAKING MY WHOLE REAR FLOORBOARD WOULD BE COMPLETELY SOAKED. THE CONDENSATION ON MY WINDOWS WOULD MAKE IT HARD TO DRIVE AND BE ABLE TO SEE THRU THE WINDSHIELD, THE WATER DRIPPING ON ME WHILE DRIVING WAS A DISTRACTION ALSO AND IF I TURNED ON MY HEATED SEATS I SOMETIMES WOULD FEEL ELECTRICAL SHOCKS IN MY BUTT, AND THE FACT THAT I HAVE MOLD GROWING ON TOP OF MY HEADLINER AND IN MY CARPET MAKES MY TRUCK SMELL AND I'M SURE BREATHING THE MOLD IN ISN'T HEALTH FOR ME OR MY 10 YEAR OLD SON. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL CHEVY PLACE AND THEY WON'T FIX IT DUE TO IT HAVING OVER 36,000 MILES YET I HAVE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH DOESN'T COVER THIS, MY INSURANCE COMPANY DOESN'T COVER IT EITHER.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
BAD LIFTER CAUSES ENGINE FAILURE AT 100,006 MILES. ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. TRANSMISSION HAS EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTS FROM PARK TO REVERSE, AND SLIPS BETWEEN 5TH AND 6TH. DOESN'T THROW ANY CODES SO DEALER SAYS IT'S FINE.BUT IT'S OBVIOUSLY RUINING ITSELF. READING ALL THESE TRANSMISSIONS COMPLAINTS I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S NOT RECALLED

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS ENTERING A STRUCTURE PARKING AT LOW SPEED WHEN I NEEDED TO STOP TO GIVE THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR CROSS TRAFFIC , AT THIS TIME I PROCEEDED TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE BRAKE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO STOP. (THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND IT WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO PRESS IT DOWN). LUCKILY I DID NOT STRIKE THE VEHICLE CROSSING AND AT THIS POINT I WAS USING MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. I FURTHER REALIZED MY TRUCK WAS NO LONGER STOPPING ON DEMAND, BUT MORE OF ROLLING TO A STOP. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP ME BECAUSE THEY WERE BUSY WHICH I THINK IS UNACCEPATABLE I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT OVER A WEEK TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR THIS SERVICE. BRAKE FAILURE SHOULD BE A PRIORITY FOR ANY AUTOMOTIVE DEALER.MY TRUCK HAS ABOUT 33500 MILES AND I HAVE MAINTAINED AND SERVICED IT PROPERLY.

SERVICE BRAKES
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE BRAKES STOPPED WORKING CORRECTLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO PUSH DOWN AND WOULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK WITHIN THE NORMALLY EXPECTED STOPPING DISTANCE. MOST OF THE TIME THE BRAKES WORKED PERFECTLY FINE - THIS ISSUE SEEMED TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY, BUT AFTER IT HAPPENED ENOUGH TIMES I REALIZED IT WAS ONLY HAPPENING AT SLOW SPEEDS. IT HAPPENED TO ME IN A COUPLE PARKING LOTS, THE DRIVE-THRU AT MCDONALDS, AND WHILE BACKING UP A TRAILER. THESE INCIDENTS WERE SEPARATED BY MANY MONTHS, WITH THE BRAKES FINE IN BETWEEN. IT WASN'T UNTIL I RECEIVED THE SERVICE BULLETIN LETTER FROM CHEVY THAT I FULLY REALIZED WHAT WAS GOING ON. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS ABLE TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM. THEY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP AND THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN FINE SINCE. CHEVY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST BECAUSE I WAS BEYOND THEIR 72,000 MILE LIMIT (ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED BEFORE I WAS AT THAT MILEAGE), SO I PAID $561 OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE THE NEW PUMP INSTALLED. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED WITH A RECALL. I REALIZED THE SERIOUSNESS OF IT THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME WHICH WAS WHEN I WAS BACKING UP THE TRAILER FOR MY KIDS BOY SCOUT TROOP AND FOUND MYSELF UNABLE TO STOP QUICKLY. I HAD TO LEAVE THE TRAILER WHERE I GOT IT TO STOP INSTEAD OF WHERE WE WERE TRYING TO PLACE IT.
