AT 46000 MILES THE AC UNIT COMPRESSOR WENT BAD. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND IT TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THESE GM VEHICLES. I PERSONALLY KNOW 4 TRUCKS THAT HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE TO WONDER WHY GM HAS NOT RECALLED THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THEY HAVE AN ISSUE.

SERVICE BRAKES
SEVERAL TIMES COMMUTING IN TO WORK, WIFE SAID BRAKES FELT FUNNY, HARD TO STOP. I WOULD DRIVE AND HAVE NO PROBLEMS, THEN IT FINALLY HAPPENED TO ME IN AT A BUSY INTERSECTION. TRIED TO STOP BUT TRUCK KEPT ROLLING, LOST BRAKING POWER AND THE TRUCK SLID FORWARD. MANAGED TO STOP BUT HAPPENED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER AND IT HAPPENED AT A HIGHER SPEED. BRAKE PEDAL GOES REAL STIFF WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND IT IS HARD FOR THE TRUCK TO STOP. GOING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CAR IN FRONT SLOWS DOWN TO TURN. I APPLIED BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WAS HARD TO STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STIFF AS I WAS PUSHING DOWN HARD. THE TRUCK FELT LIKE IT WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT BARELY. I ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEFORE IT TURNED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER VACUUM PUMP AND PIPE. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE AND TOLD THEM THAT I AM HAVING A SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT A DEFECT OR REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THEY SAID THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. IT ONLY HAS 61,156 MILES ON IT AS OF 9 JULY 2018. THE FIRST TIME THE ISSUE OCCURRED WAS IN MAY 2018. AT THAT TIME I HAD ABOUT 59,000+ MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. A COUPLE OF CERTIFIED MECHANICS STATED THAT THIS PART SHOULD LAST MUCH LONGER THAN IT HAS. I WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. SERVICE BULLETIN #PIT5361.

ALL SOUND STOPPED ON MY TRUCK. RADIO, TURN SIGNAL FEEDBACK, ETC. IT WAS WORKING AT END OF DAY BUT DID NOT WORK THE FOLLOWING MORNING. I SEARCHED AND FOUND RECALL #14315 BUT YOUR WEB SITE SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. IT HAS EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED BY THAT RECALL. I GOOGLED SYMPTOM AND FOUND WHERE SOMEONE HAD DISCONNECTED BATTERY FOR AWHILE AND THAT FIXED IT. DID FOR ME TOO BUT FEEL THE FIX IN RECALL 14315 SHOULD BE APPLIED TO MY TRUCK AS WELL.

FAULTY TAILGATE BUSHING (GM PART NO. 84331136/84131760), PLASTIC, ENGINEERING DEFECT. THE PART CRACKS, BREAKS, DISINTEGRATES, SIMPLY BY OPENING OR CLOSING THE TRUCK TAILGATE OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE BUSING WAS DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE TAILGATE BY REDUCING THE WEIGHT OR MUSCLE NEEDED TO REST THE TAILGATE WITHOUT SLAMMING. WHEN THE BUSING CRACKS OR BREAKS THEN THE TAILGATE SLAMS DOWN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE THE OWNER BECOMES ACCUSTOMED TO THE TAILGATE LOWERING WITH EASE, AND UPON THE FIRST TIME OPENING TAILGATE AFTER THE BUSHING HAS BEEN COMPROMISED, IT SLAMS DOWN, RISKING INJURY TO YOUR ARMS, POSSIBLY YOUR BACK OR ANYONE LIKE CHILDREN, A CHILD'S HEAD UNDERNEATH OR BELOW THE OWNERS WAIST. SECONDLY, GM IS "PRICE GAUGING" THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE PART COST LESS THAN $10 DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, AND THE CHEAPLY MANUFACTURED PART, WHICH IS MOST LIKELY SPUN ON A 3-D PRINTER BY A CANADIAN COMPANY COSTS $44 NOW. THEY DO NOT OFFER A OEM PART AND HAVE NOT CHANGED THE PLASTIC PART TO ADAPT TO ALL OF THE CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. THIS IS THE FOURTH BUSHING I HAVE TO REPLACE. ONLINE RESEARCH OF OTHER TRUCK OWNERS WITH THE SAME VEHICLE INDICATE THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD PUBLIC PROBLEM. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM. THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP ME REPLACE THE PART AT NO COST. PLEASE HELP THE CONSUMER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

REAR DRIVERS SIDE DOOR SAYS IT'S NOT LATCHED BUT IT IS. THEREFORE THE DOORS DO NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY AND THE DOME LIGHTS DO NOT TURN OFF AUTOMATICALLY. THIS COULD CAUSE SOME SERIOUS ISSUES AS I DON'T KNOW IF THE DOOR IS PROPERLY LATCHED SINCE IT SAYS THIS ALL THE TIME. MY CHILDREN RIDE IN THE VEHICLE AND THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN.

STEERING
LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING , SAFETY HAZARD! CONTACTED GM AND WAS TOLD NO RECALL ON MY SPECIFIC VIN # EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A RECALL ON SAME YEAR MAKE & MODEL VEHICLE. WAS TOLD BY GM TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP & GM WOULD TRY & ASSIST IN GETTING VEHICLE REPAIRED. WITH IT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE AND SAME MAKE & MODEL AS VEHICLE THAT HAS RECALL IN PLACE FOR THE SAME PART, I FEEL GM SHOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLES POWER STEERING MOTOR AT NO COST TO ME.

I JOIN A LONG LIST OF CHEVROLET TRUCK OWNERS EXPERIENCING AC FAILURE FAR TOO SOON IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFE. MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 4X4 Z71 WITH 42,000 MILES HAD THE AC COMPLETELY STOP WORKING OVER THE WEEKEND UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE TEMPERATURE WAS 82F. UPON INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE CONDENSER HAD A LEAK ON THE TOP RIGHT SIDE AND THAT IT WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN I ASKED ABOUT THE WARRANTY CLAIM, THE SERVICE MANAGER EXPLAINED THAT HE HAS SUBMITTED THE CLAIM AND THAT HE, " ... HAD VERY LITTLE DOUBT THAT IT WOULD BE APPROVED." " WE SEE THIS A LOT," HE EXPLAINED. THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN ISSUE AND SEVERAL OWNERS ARE PAYING OUT OF POCKET FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN INSTALLED ON SUCH AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE. GM'S "MOST DEPENDABLE TRUCK" SLOGAN IS WORTHY OF DEBATE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE DEF FLUID INDICATER IS STUCK AT 24%, THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES ON THE INTERNET OF THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM, SOME DEALERS FIX FOR FREE WITH A SIMPLE SOFTWARE UPGRADE, OTHER LIKE MINE WANT TO CHARGE ME DIAGNOSTICS AND MECHANICS TIME RUNNING INTO A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS, WITH SO MANY VEHICLES HAVING THIS AND GM WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT, BEEN ON THE PHONE TO GM SEVERAL TIME WITH NO HELP. WITH THIS STUCK AT 24% YOU COULD RUN LOW ON DEF FLUID AND NOT KNOW IT AND THE TRUCK WILL LOSE POWER AND NOT LET YOU GO FASTER THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR. WHICH COULD CAUSE MANY SAFETY ISSUES. THERE EVEN IS A TSB ON THIS AND HOW TO FIX, BUT IF YOUR OUT OF WARRANTY IT'S MY COST. 22214 BULLETIN PIP4884Q C/S
