SERVICE BRAKES
LOSS OF BRAKING AT LOW SPEED. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD AND VEHICLE WILL NOT STOP DUE TO FAULTY VACUUM PUMP. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND GM HAS EVEN REPLACED THE ORIGINAL PART NUMBER WITH A NEW UPDATED UNIT BUT HAS NOT RECALLED THE OLD FAULTY ONES. IF THIS WASN'T A FAULTY PART THEN WHY REPLACE IT WITH AN "UPDATED" ONE. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND I FEEL GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS BADLY INJURED OR KILLED.

POWER TRAIN
WAS PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND CAR HAD TO SLAM ON ITS BRAKES SO IT WOULDN'T HIT ME. THEN IT WAS SLUGGISH AND SLIPPING ON MY 30 MINUTE DRIVE TO WORK ON INTERSTATE 81. ON THE WAY HOME IT STARTED TO GET WORSE AND MAKING AN AWFUL HUMMING SOUND OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH GMC AND CHEVY 1500 TRUCKS FROM 2014 TO 2017. I CHECK THE FLUIDS EVERY WEEK AND THERE ARE ALWAYS GOOD. IT JUST SEEMS THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL IF EVERYONE IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY SILVERADO FREQUENTLY "SHUTS OFF" WHEN I AM MAKING TURNS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS - THE LATEST TIME I WAS PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE AND ALL ELECTRICAL PARTS TURN OFF. I WAS NEARLY HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE AND MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER SAID THEY HAVE "FIXED IT". I KEEP BRINGING THE TRUCK BACK TO THEM, BUT THEY WON'T ATTEMPT TO FIX IT AGAIN CITING LEMON LAWS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE TRUCK TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED AND AT THIS POINT CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF AS I DRIVE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
THE TCM MALFUNCTIONED. AFTER BEING REPLACED THE VEHICLE STILL DIDN'T PERFORM AS IT DID BEFORE THE REPAIR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE WITH ALL CHEVROLET TRUCKS FROM VARIOUS YEARS. THERE ARE MULTIPLE BLOGS FROM OWNERS OF THESE TRUCKS THAT SHOW THE EXTENT OF THE ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY $ 1000.00 TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT GM KNOWS THAT HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND THE TRUCK LOOSES POWER; ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE GOING DOWN HILL TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND YOUR TRANSMISSION DOESN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY. I HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPAIRED AND THE ISSUE PERSISTS; IT SEEMS AS THOUGH GM WANTS OWNERS TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. SOME MAY NOT AND THIS COULD LEAD TO UNSAFE TRUCKS BEING ON THE ROAD. THANK YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN PARKING LOTS, ESPECIALLY AFTER REVERSING OR TURNING THE VEHICLE WILL OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING ISSUE: DISPLAY WILL SAY THAT STABILITRACK IS ON, ADVISE THAT POWER STEERING IS REDUCED. THE AIR CONDITIONING, RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRIC SYSTEMS WILL THEN SHUT OFF. POWER STEERING IS CUT OFF ALONG WITH BRAKE PRESSURE. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE ENGINE HAS ALSO SHUT OFF REQUIRING THE VEHICLE TO BE PUT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL TO RESTART THE ENGINE. IF THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY IT WOULD CERTAINLY CAUSE A MAJOR INCIDENT.
