ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
TWICE ON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE STEERING (THE COLUMN UNLOCKED)WOULD NOT STEER. IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE COLUMN NO MATTER IF I MOVE IT FORWARD OR REVERSE. NO AMOUNT OF TWISTING WOULD ALLOW IT TO STEER. I WORRY IT MAY FAIL IN ACTION ON THE ROAD. THE DEALER SAID THE STEERING MODULE NEEDED UPDATING AND THEN BECAUSE IT WAS 57 MILES OUT OF WARRENTEE CHARGED ME $186. NO GARRENTEE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

ENGINE
RADIATOR FAILED AT 58K MILES IN DECEMBER 2019. DEALER INDICATED THAT THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE COSTS TO REPAIR. QUOTED COST WAS $3800. REPAIRED AT INDEPENDENT SHOP FOR $2900. NOW, MARCH 2021, THE RADIATOR HAS FAILED AGAIN AT 78K MILES. NORMAL CITY DRIVING. NO OFF-ROADING OR RACING. THIS FAILURE CAUSES OIL TO MIX WITH COOLANT. MANY MECHANIC LABOR HOURS REQUIRED AS BOTH COOLING AND OIL SYSTEMS NEED TO BE THOROUGHLY FLUSHED TO REMOVE RESIDUAL COOLANT AND OIL.

I NOTICED SEVERAL TIMES IT FEELS THAT IT IS NOT CATCHING THE GEAR AND WILL SUDDENLY LURCH FORWARD. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I'VE SEEN THAT THERE ARE MANY ISSUES AND COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS 2017 MODEL YEAR FOR THIS CHEVROLET SILVERADO.

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE PARKING, AT LOW SPEEDS, MY BRAKE PEDAL TURNED STIFF AND I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO PUSH IT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M AT A LOW SPEED AND CAN BE MADE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR A GOOD WHILE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A RECALL, WHICH I DON'T PERSONALLY THINK THEY DID. I THOUGHT THE RECALL WAS TO FIX THIS LOW SPEED ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF THE 2017 SILVERADO'S. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SITUATION OF LOW SPEEDS. I TOW A BOAT AND IT DOES IT WHILE I'M BACKING MY BOAT INTO THE WATER. AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO USE MY BOAT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE? IS IT MY FAULT THAT GM DECIDED TO USE SUBPAR PARTS TO SAVE MONEY? THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL AND PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING YOU CHANGE ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT PARTS IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. RIDICULOUS.

MY VEHICLE WAS OFF FOR THE NORMAL DAY COMING HOME FROM WORK. I TURNED MY VEHICLE ON TO GO TO THE STORE AND NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, I THEN WENT TO OREILLYS AND GOT A FREE DIAGNOSTIC CHECK, CAME BACK WITH CODE U1501 LIN BUS 1. WHILE DRIVING TO MY HOME FROM OREILLYS, I MADE A SLIGHT TURN TO MY DRIVEWAY AND MY VEHICLE SHUT DOWN AND COMPLETELY LOCKED UP. I PUT IT BACK IN PARK AND STARTED IT UP LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED A SECOND AGO. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS CODE AND THE MAKE,MODEL, YEAR OF THIS ISSUE, IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2014 CHEVY SILVERADO AND IT WAS MORE TRIPS TO THE DEALERSHIP TO FIGURE OUT WHAT MADE MY VEHICLE STALL WHILE DRIVING IT THAN ACTUALLY GIVEN THE TIME TO ENJOY THE VEHICLE. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME CONSIDER SWITCHING TO FORD.
