SERVICE BRAKES
I WENT TO BACK OUT MY DRIVEWAY AT LOW SPEEDS AND THE BRAKES DID NOT APPLY. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY FAILED AGAIN. I APPLIED THE GAS AND WENT ON MY WAY THE BRAKES SEEMED TO WORK FINE. BUT FROM IDLE TO SLOW SPEEDS (1-10 MPH) THE BRAKES FAIL AND I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I CAN OR IT WILL CONTINUE TO ROLL. HAVE DODGED SEVERAL CARS AT RED LIGHTS.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500. WHILE THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, A SECOND VEHICLE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. DURING THE CRASH, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE PANEL AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG PANELS ON BOTH SIDES HAD SEPARATED.

A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

TRUCK SHAKES WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. IT ISN'T NOTICEABLE ON SIDE STREETS IN THE CITY BUT WHEN TRAVELING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY THE ENTIRE TRUCK SHAKES SOMETIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT ALWAYS ABOVE 70-75 MILES PER HOUR. IT SHAKES SO VIOLENTLY THAT A DRINK IN THE CONSOLE WILL SHAKE OUT OF IT'S CONTAINER. I'VE HAD IT IN THE SHOP 4 TIMES BUT THE CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER CANNOT FIX IT. THEY HAVE BALANCED AND REPLACED TIRES BUT CANNOT FIX IT. I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE OR COULD LEAD TO DAMAGE RENDERING IT UNSAFE.

SERVICE BRAKES
FRONT BRAKES ON LEFT SIDE STICK AND WEAR UNEVENLY AND RAPIDLY. I HAVE HAD FRONT BRAKES REPLACED TWICE WITH 80% PAD LIFE ON RIGHT SIDE BY MIDAS. MIDAS STATED THAT THERE IS A SERVICE ADVISORY TO REPLACE THE LEFT SIDE PISTON/CALIPER AND A NEW HOSE WHICH IS LARGER ALLOWING THE BRAKES TO RELEASE PROPERLY.

PAINT IS EXTREMELY FRAGILE, IT'S RIDICULOUS ACTUALLY. IT SCRATCHES AND CHIPS BY JUST BY TOUCHING IT. I'VE NEVER SEEN A FACTORY PAINT JOB LOOK SO HORRIBLE IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IT LITERALLY LOOKS HORRIBLE AFTER A 18 MONTHS AND IS EXTREMLY DIFFICULT TO GET A DEEP SHINE EVEN WITH POLISH, WAX, ETC. CHIPS ARE STARTING TO SHOW UP ALL OVER THE VEHICLE AND SLIGHT PITS ARE NOW SHOWING UP. THE CLEAR COAT EXTREMELY THIN TO NON-EXISTENT. I WAS EXTREMELY SURPRISED TO NOT FIND A RECALL AT THIS POINT BASED ON ALL THE WEB CHATTER AND WHAT I'M SEEING ON MY TRUCK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LINE LEAK. TWO STEEL FUEL LINES WERE RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER CAUSING A FUEL LEAK. THIS IS A DIESEL PICK UP AND THE FUEL SYSTEM IS REPORTED AT 28,000 PSI OPERATION PRESSURE. THIS RESULTED IN A LEAK OF DIESEL FUEL THAT SPRAYED ONTO THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, WHICH CAN REACH TEMPERATURES IN EXCESS OF 1400F CAUSING A FIRE HAZARD. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTED AS A STRONG RAW FUEL SMELL IN THE CAB CAUSING AN INHALATION HAZARD. THIS WAS FOLLOWED BY SMALL STAINS IN MY PARKING SPOT. THE SMELL WAS NOT EVIDENT WHEN IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY ONLY WHEN STOPPED AND RUNNING. REPAIRS WERE MADE BY CASPER GMC DEALER IN CASPER, WY REPLACING THE FUEL LINES. THERE IS NO BUFFER (SUCH AS A TEFLON BUSHING) TO INSULATE SUCH EFFECTS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
SO DUE TO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE YOLK ON THE DIFFERENTIAL, THE LAG IN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT AND ENGINE COMMUNICATION LEADS TO EXTREME VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND CLUNKING AND JERKING WHILE DRIVING AROUND TOWN. SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS THERE IS A DELAY IN THE MOTOR RECOGNIZING IT SO IT REVS UP SOME SO WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FINALLY FINDS THE GEAR IT CAUSES IT TO KICK. AND SINCE THE YOLK HAS PLAY IN IT, IT CAUSES THE DIFFERENTIAL TO CLUNK AS THE ROTATION OF THE DRIVESHAFT CATCHES UP AT A QUICKER RATE. WHICH LEADS TO MORE LOOSENESS IN THE YOKE AND CREATES A WOBBLE IN THE DRIVESHAFT. AND AN UNSETTLING SOUND WHILE DRIVING AROUND.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY FAMILY, I LOST OVER 90% OF MY STOPPING POWER WHILE EXITING THE HIGHWAY ON AN OFF RAMP. LUCKILY IT HAPPENED WHEN I HAD ALREADY SLOWED DOWN OFF THE RAMP TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY (AND NOT JUST MOMENTS BEFORE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY). AFTER EXTREME CAUTION AND SMART USE OF DOWN-SHIFTING AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY NAVIGATE INTO A PARKING LOT THAT WAS REALLY CLOSE TO WHERE THE INCIDENT FIRST HAPPENED. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS A VACUUM PUMP FAILURE AND REPLACED IT (NOTE THAT THEY OFFERED NO OTHER EXPLANATION OTHER THAN WHAT FAILED AND THAT IT WAS FIXED). THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE OKAY FOR NOW, BUT I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY (AND MY FAMILY'S) SAFETY AND OVERALL RELIABILITY OF THIS TRUCK. WHO'S TO SAY IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WHILE I'M IN A MORE HIGH-SPEED SITUATION?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
IT BEGAN WITH THE HEADLIGHTS/PARKING LIGHTS FLICKERING FOR A FEW WEEKS. LATER THE TRUCK BEGAN TO GIVE ERROR MESSAGES ABOUT STABILITY CONTROL, TRAILER BRAKE CONTROL, AND OTHERS. FINALLY IT VIOLENTLY JERKED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF MY HANDS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (TRUCK HAS ELECTRIC POWER STEERING). THIS HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH IN VARIOUS TURNS BUT I AM CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHICH WOULD CAUSE A SERIOUS CRASH AND/OR DEATH. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY MEMBERS ON BOARD.

ALL AUDIO STOPS WORKING. THE RADIO IS ON AND THE DIGITAL INFO IS CHANGING WITH THE STATION. BUT THERE IS NO AUDIO.. ALL THE WARNING SOUNDS AND THE DIRECTIONAL SOUND ARE NOT PRESENT. A FEW TIMES I WAS ABLE TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF AND RESTART IT AND THAT WOULD FIX THE ISSUE.. BUT NOW THAT DOESN'T EVEN WORK. I DO NOTICE THAT IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN WHEN THE WEATHER IS VERY COLD..
