ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), STEERING
THE TRUCK WAS DRIVEN TO THE STORE, IT WAS PARKED FOR ROUGHLY 20 MINS. THERE WAS NO ISSUE WITH DRIVING TO THE STORE. UPON RETURNING TO THE TRUCK AND STARTING IT IN THE STORE PARKING LOT THE DIGITAL DISPLAY INDICATED THAT POWER STEERING SERVICE WAS REQUIRED AND ESC SERVICE WAS REQUIRED. AFTER SEEING THIS THE DRIVER TRIED TO TURN THE WHEEL BUT HAD NO POWER STEERING SO THEY TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND LET IT SIT FOR TWO MINUTES. THE TRUCK WAS RESTARTED AND THE SAME FAULT INFORMATION WAS DISPLAYED. THE DRIVER TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AGAIN, WAITED ONE TO TWO MINUTES AGAIN, AND RESTARTED. THE SAME FAULTS WERE SHOWN. THE DRIVER REFERENCED THE OWNERS MANUAL IN AN ATTEMPT TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. THERE WAS NO SOLUTION IN THE MANUAL. THE TRUCK WAS THEN DRIVEN BACK TO THE HOUSE 1.9 MILES WITH NO POWER STEERING. THE TRUCK WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND RECEIVED SERVICES ONE WEEK PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT SAY OR SHOW ANY FAULTS DURING ITS SERVICES. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AND THE DRIVER DID NOT HAVE THE STRENGTH TO TURN THE WHEEL WITHOUT ASSISTANCE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
06/26/2020 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE MY BRAKES FAILED. I HAVE HAD ALL PREVIOUS RECALLS, AND ONE OF THE RECALLS MADE THE BRAKE FAILURE WORSE THAN THE ORIGIONAL BRAKE RECALLS. I WAS FOLLOWING AT A SAFE DISTANCE WHEN THE CAR IF FT OF MR STOPPED QUICKLY. I APPLIED HARD BRAKE PRESSURE(EASILY ENOUGH PRESSURE TO PROPERLY STOP) BUT PRESSING HARD THE TRUCK SLOWED DOWN BUT AT FULL HARD PUSH BRAKE PEDAL MY TRUCK A CHEVY SILVERADO 2020 JUST WOULDNT STOP CORRECTLY. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE I'M FINDING OUT NOW THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO SHOP BUT I NEED TO KNOW MY OPTIONS AND WHERE TO GO FROM HERE. I'VE ADVISED MY INSURANCE CO OF THIS RECALL DEFECT AND HAVE CONTACTED MY ATTORNEY TO SEEK DAMAGES.

STRUCTURE:BODY, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY TRUCK IS JUST OVER A YEAR OLD. HAS HAD 4 RECALLS ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM ALONE. ONE FOR EXCESSIVE BRAKE PAD WEAR. THE REAR FENDERS HAVE OUTWARD DENTS ON THEM CAUSING THE PAINT TO CHIP AWAY. DEALERSHIP REPLACED DRIVERS SIDE, WAITING TO DO PASSENGER SIDE. REAR SPOILER WAS LEAKING AND FLOODED THE BACK SEAT OF THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED. FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW BECAME INOPERABLE, ( REPAIRED) REAR DOME LIGHT NOT WORKING CORRECTLY ( NOT REPAIRED) AS NOTED ON THE VEHICLE HISTORY IT HAD A HARD SHIFT OUT OF PARK. A YEAR LATER STILL DOES. WHEN THERE IS MULTIPLE RECALLS AND REPROGRAMMING OF BRAKING SYSTEMS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY SELF IN THE CAR LET ALONE MY KIDS OR MY WIFE. I LIVE IN A VERY MOUNTAIN AREA . I AM SCARED TO DEATH TO PULL MY BOAT OR TRAILERS DOWN THE MOUNTAINS IN FEAR OF THE BRAKES THAT HAVE BEEN WORKED ON SO MANY TIMES IN A YEAR ACTUALLY WORK .. I CAN SEE ONE OR MAYBE TWO TIMES BUT NOT 5 OR 6. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
AFTER PERFORMING THE LATEST RECALLS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH A P25A2 CODE. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY CHANGE IN THE VEHICLE HANDLING OR PERFORMANCE. AFTER I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ERROR CODE, ONLY THE P25A2 CODE WHICH IS TO ILLUMINATE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE BRAKE SYSTEM THAT TRIGGERED THE LIGHT IF I RECALL WHAT THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME CORRECTLY. ADDITIONALLY, AT IDLE SPEED, ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO LUNG FORWARD AT TIMES CREATING THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL FRONT END COLLISION. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL TANK RUPTURE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE HWY, TOWING ~5000LB RV AT 60 MPH. NEVER SAW ROAD DEBRIS, DEALER INSISTS IT WAS RUPTURED TANK. TANK IS PLASTIC AND TOTALLY UNPROTECTED. DUMPED 20-25 GAL FUEL, LOST POWER, BARELY GOT TO SHOULDER AND EXIT VEHICLE WITH FUEL VAPORS EVERYWHERE. NUMEROUS ITEMS COULD HAVE EASILY IGNITED THE TRUCK/RV WITH HUGE POTENTIAL FOR INJURY/DEATH. LOCAL VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPT RESPONDED. THIS WAS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, DANGEROUS TRAFFIC, HAD TO ARRANGE TOWING BOTH THE GM TRUCK PLUS THE TOWED RV. NO DEALER WOULD LOAN ME A VEHICLE TO TOW WITH. DEALER CHARGED $1500 FOR REPAIRS (REPLACEMENT) OF A $200 PLASTIC TANK. ALL COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED WITH A $7.00 METAL COVER FOR THE TANK. *TR

ENGINE
THE ENGINE SURGES WHEN LETTING OUT OF THE PEDAL AND COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE CHEVY SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT THEY DON'T SEE IT. THE RPM'S DROP AND PICK BACK UP 3-6 TIMES WITH NO FOOT ON THE PEDAL SLOWING DOWN TO A STOP. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. FOR THEM NOT TO SEE A PROBLEM IS RIDICULOUS. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK WHEN IT IS IN THE CITY AND I?M APPROACHING A STOP SIGN THE TRANSMISSION MAKES THE VEHICLE SHAKE. THE AGGRESSIVE SHAKE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I?M BRINGING MY TRUCK TO A STOP AFTER GOING PAST THE FIRST GEAR. IT CAN HAPPEN IN THE CITY AND HIGHWAY, BUT THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE GOES PAST THE FIRST GEAR AND BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO A COMPLETER STOP. I GOT THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT AND THE DEALER MECHANIC ASSUMED THE PROBLEM WOULD GET FIXED AFTER UPDATING MY TRUCK FROM THE RECENT BREAK RECALL. BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE SHAKING WHEN I PUT MY TRUCK TO A STOP STILL CONTINUES. *TR

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO SECOND GEAR HAS ABOUT A 5 SECOND DELAY AND THEN IS A ROUGH SHIFT INTO 2ND. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD FROM SITTING FOR A LONG PERIOD LIKE OVER NIGHT. AFTER THE ONE HARD SHIFT IT DOESN'T DO IT THE REST OF THE DAY. DONE IT SINCE PURCHASING IT IN SEPT 2019. IT'S LIKE IT LAGS AFTER YOU WAKE IT UP AND HASN'T HAD ITS COFFEE YET. DOES NOT MATTER IF I BACK DOWN MY DRIVEWAY FIRST AND THEN INTO DRIVE. THE FIRST SHIFT OF 1ST TO 2ND HAS A LAG AND ITS ROUGH INTO 2ND. *TR
