From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at …

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy after the purchase. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was 107,015. It was later discovered upon registering the vehicle at a local DMV agency that the mileage was 233,000.

A lifter failed and caused an injector to fail and a push rod to bend. The truck has misfires on two cylinders now. The AFM system is a large issue known for 2014 and newer 1500 trucks as mine is a 2015. The truck is in need of a motor rebuild or replacement and the dealer I took the truck to for the work quoted me over $9000 for the work to be completed. The engine has less then 125,000 miles on it.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The factory paint coat/paint adhesion system (Exterior Summit White Finish) failed, resulting in early-stage delamination and separation of the topcoat directly from the electro-coat primer. The vehicle and affected body panels are intact, unaltered, and available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? (early-stage delamination and separation) Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes. On XXX, I visited my local dealership in [XXX] and spoke directly with Service Manager Mr. Gerome. He inspected the issue and informed me that dealership-level assistance could not be applied because the vehicle is over 7 years old, advising me to contact GM Customer Assistance directly for a corporate goodwill review GM Customer Care evaluated photos: The issue was reviewed directly through GM Customer Care and Senior Executive Liaison Roman via photographs, but GM refused to acknowledge the factory paint adhesion defect or offer a remedy. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Yes, the defect was formally submitted for review to General Motors Customer Care and Senior Executive Liaison Roman. No police or insurance inspections have occurred, as there has been no collision or external impact causing this failure. Were there any war

Rear window defrost caught fire. No noticeable damage to vehicle. On my twenty fifteen chevy silverado. Smoke filled the cab of the vehicle. There were no warning or messages to alert to this happening. I reported the dangerous incident to a dealer who told me to contact corporate. He said this is an issue but it was called a customer satisfaction program N192265660 rear window thermal event which yes it was my year but the safety issue which I was never aware of expired. He then told me to report it to NHSTA.gov. This is very dangerous and certainly should be a recall to befixed. Luckily I had started the vehicle in my driveway and was getting into it when it happened. It could have happened while I was driving.That was a known dangerous issue this should still be fixed without an expiration date. It is still dangerous.

At 124,000, the transmission started slipping and not grabbing gears. Coleman Taylor Transmissions ended up having to do a full rebuild which costs about $4000. At around 20,000 miles, the vehicle started to shutter going 45 mph. The vehicle still does shake violently at 62-75 mph causing a safety concern. The brakes wont go if Ive been standing still for a long time like in a drive through or backing down a boat ramp. You have to stand on the brakes with both feet to get the vehicle to stop and thats only going 5 mph. We still own this vehicle and still have issues with it.

Vehicle: 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (VIN: [XXX]). The factory Summit White paint and clearcoat are delaminating from the primer in large sheets along the roofline directly above the windshield header. This factory paint-bonding failure exposes raw primer and bare metal, compromising the structural roof seal around the windshield. Left unaddressed, it creates water intrusion and structural rust risks near the windshield header, posing a safety and visibility hazard. GM has denied goodwill assistance despite this being a known manufacturing defect. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, the "Service Power Steering Drive" message was displayed and the steering wheel became extremely difficult to maneuver. The contact attempted to drive onto the main street; however, had to drive slowly with the hazard lights activated, before returning to the residence. The contact researched and became aware of an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed and associated the failure with an electric pump. The failure mileage was approximately 106,799.

I am filing this complaint regarding a serious engine lifter/Active Fuel Management (AFM) failure in my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The vehicle experienced a lifter failure that caused significant engine problems and created a potential safety concern while driving back from shopping: loss of power, engine misfire, severe shaking, ticking, check-engine light, stalling, inability to maintain speed, etc. The vehicle had approximately 200k miles at the time of the failure. The vehicle was inspected by a local mechanic, which diagnosed the problem as collapsed/failed lifter. The repair required/will cost approx. 3k or more estimated My concern is that this does not appear to be an isolated failure. Other owners of 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trucks equipped with GM's Active Fuel Management system have reported lifter failures, including failures resulting in engine damage and sudden loss of engine power or propulsion. A sudden lifter or related engine failure can create a significant safety hazard, particularly when it occurs at highway speeds, while merging into traffic, crossing an intersection, or in another situation where the driver depends upon the engine to maintain acceleration and vehicle speed. I am reporting this in hopes that GM can be held accountable as they knew about these defective lifters but did nothing but hide it.

January of last year, I was driving, coming off the highway, my engine came on and the system send to shutdown immediatly. I was close enough to my machanic, upon inspection, the AFM System failed at only 76,622 miles. This is part of the building issues with this value lifter problem I wanted to document it with the NHTSA as you are actively opening case for this ongoing issue with GM. i am hoping that a class action law suit will hopfully gain traction. this was a know issue, i was outside of standard warrenty, I was forced to replace the engine out of my own pocket to avoid having a truck worth almost nothing. I will bring this up with GM corporate also, reciept uploaded. Millions of 2014-present trucks and SUVs, while federal investigations specifically target nearly 878,000 to 1 million newer vehicles (2019–2026). GM should be helad accountable

When applying brakes at low speeds the brakes are unresponsive they sound rough and the vehicle does not come to a stop it skids forward, and an electric low whine occurs. This doesn't happen everytime. I took it in for Carvanas 30 day warranty and was told its because I drove it down the mountain grade while applying brakes and they didnt find anything wrong with the brake thus wouldn't be covered. Been seeing this vacuum issue with the brakes on this particular issue and seeing if I can get this resolved.

Lifter for cylinder 7, part of the Active Fuel Management system, failed to open causing the truck to lose full power while I was on the highway without any warning prior to the incident. It could have caused an accident if It had happened during a busier time on the highway as I could not go the "flow of traffic's speed." It has been torn down and looked over to confirm the problem and full extent of the damage, by a dealership, with pictures of proof. This has left me without my vehicle for months due to needing a full brand new motor.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle lost power steering functionality for approximately 1 minute. The failure had occurred while the steering wheel was straight or turning towards the left or the right, and the steering wheel was jerking during the failure. The “Power Steering” message was displayed, and there was an audible chime intermittently. The dealer was contacted, and the issue was discussed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 158,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brakes failed to engage while the brake pedal was depressed. The contact placed both feet on the brake pedal for the vehicle to come to a stop. No warning lights were illuminated. A dealer was contacted and made the contact aware of an unknown recall; however, the VIN was not under recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 187,918.

COMPONENT: Electric power steering (EPS) and electrical/power distribution. Available for inspection. FAILURE: My 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT (5.3L, 4WD) intermittently loses EPS assist during tight low-speed turns; steering becomes suddenly and severely heavy. On one occasion the engine shut off completely while I was turning - steering went heavy immediately before the stall. The same events bring random Service StabiliTrak warnings, Tow/Haul messages I did not request, and loss of stereo audio and turn-signal chime, sometimes together. Shutting off, opening the driver's door, waiting a minute, then remote starting restores normal operation - modules appear to reset when the truck fully powers down. SAFETY RISK: Loss of steering assist plus complete engine shutdown occurred while turning. Losing both in traffic could readily cause a crash. RECALL: NHTSA 18V-586 (GM 18289, EPS Loss of Steering Assist) was completed on this VIN 2018-10-11. Eight years later the vehicle still loses steering assist, now with engine stall. GM's Part 573 report states the remedy only reduces EPS current draw so voltage stays above the 8.8V cutoff; it appears inadequate here. GM TSB 18-NA-161 describes this same symptom set and attributes it to high-resistance battery cable connections, a poor BCM ground at G218, a shorted B+ cable at the starter solenoid, or a faulty battery - a hardware condition never made subject to recall despite causing engine stall and loss of steering assist.

Transmission shuttered while driving on the freeway at 65 mph, the rpm dial indicator show high and my speed dropped to 40 mph. The transmission fluid was burnt and the torque converter was replaced

Vehicle transmission repaired at 77,000 along with a new torque converter. Torque converter and transmission both failed again at 115,000 miles. GMC currently replacing the 3rd torque converter with 130,000 miles. I have spent over $14,000 on 2 transmissions and 3 torque converters on a vehicle I've owned for 6 years.

At 144k I had to replace the passenger lifters because cylender 8 (linked to AFM) was stuck. I got that repaired. At 147k I had to get my passenger side lifters replaced again. 2 months later at about 152k I had to replace drivers side lifters. At this point 152k ive had all lifters replaced. Passenger side twice. Now at 157k my bottom end is bad. I was driving and boom no power. That could of been bad. Ive spent so god damn much money on this truck due to the AFM. Its ridiculous. Now I have to spend 8k on a new engine. Ive spent a total of 12k in repairs to this truck. There has to be something done to compensate. Because of your guyses shitty engineering im going into debt. Its insane

09/28/2024. Chevrolet 5.3 L V8 Silverado 1/2 ton pickup truck. I was driving on KS. Highway 7, N bound, the engine started shaking, eng light on and the engine quit. I costed to the side of the road. Number 7 cylinder dropped a valve and more damage. Mileage on vehicle 53,198. This truck had top care, as it still has. Cost to me at Hendrick Chevrolet $7,092.89. This has happened to many people with no help from GM. ITS A SHAME. GM KNEW THIS. Date of incident 09.28.2024

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. It was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a dealer sale. The contact stated that the mileage on the title was discovered to be 214,850. At the time of purchase, the mileage was 139,131. The Carfax report mileage was not obtained.

While driving at highway cruising speeds, the vehicle began showing abnormal RPM fluctuation/surging at steady speed. The RPM would repeatedly move up and down even while maintaining a constant speed, including when cruise control was used. There were no warning lights or dashboard messages at the time the symptoms first appeared. The suspected failure is the torque converter/torque converter clutch in the automatic transmission. After diagnosis, I was advised that the torque converter failure contaminated the transmission fluid/internal transmission components, and that the transmission now requires replacement. The failed transmission/related components may be available for inspection upon request, depending on repair timing. This condition created a safety concern because the drivetrain was not operating normally at highway speeds, causing inconsistent power delivery and concern that the transmission could slip, overheat, fail further, or leave the vehicle unable to maintain speed in traffic. A sudden loss of propulsion or worsening transmission failure could increase the risk of a crash. The problem has been diagnosed by a transmission repair facility. The vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. No crash occurred. No injuries occurred. No warning lamps appeared before the failure. The first noticeable symptom was the RPM flutter/surging at steady highway cruising speed. The exact internal cause is unknown, but the best ass

The paint on this vehicle is horrible. Now I am upside down in the vehicle and unable to get anything close to what is owed. No one affiliated with GM/Chevy will take any responsibility

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

When on the highway and attempted to accelerate to pass in the passing lane, there was a loud pop, the truck rapid decelerated and my son was forced to drive off the burm to avoid being hit by a semi truck. It’s been determined that it was caused by a lifter failure due to the AFM system

I have a 2015 Chevy Silverado, when I am breaking, especially in stop-and-go traffic when I need to my use brakes a lot. My brake pedal will be get stiff and is accompanied by extended stopping distance to a point where I almost hit the vehicle in front of me.

My 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 had an oil pump failure at 77,000 miles… Truck may be 11 years old but it only has 77k on it and the oil pump has already failed? Seems crazy to me, especially when I’ve changed the oil religiously every 3,000 miles.

I test drove a 2026 Silverado 1500 at Hanania Chevrolet in Saint Augustine Florida on [XXX]. Before the test drive, I advised the salesperson in the rear seat that the Service Brake Assist light was on at the instrument panel. He advised that the light needed to be reset and he would have it taken care of. I returned to the showroom to complete the required paper work and the vehicle was cleaned and returned in front of the showroom. I drove the vehicle on [XXX] after driving a short distance the "Service Brake Assist" light again came on. I notified the service department on 6/1/2026 and drove the vehicle back to the dealership. The service advisor indicated he was going to have his best Technician repair the vehicle. I arrived at12:33 and the vehicle was completed at 12:56 PM I drove the vehicle back to my home without any issues. I left my home on [XXX] and as I turned onto the Interstate Highway, the light came on once again. After researching this issue, it is not advisable to drive the vehicle as the Antilock Braking System will not operate correctly. This vehicle should NOT have been available for any prospective customer to drive on the highway until the issue is corrected. The sales person should have verified that the brake issue was properly repaired before offering anyone a road test in the vehicle. The vehicle is currently at the Dealership.

When slowing down, just before coming to a complete stop, the transmission will downshift, clunk and the vehicle will jump forward, powering through the brake pressure that's already applied, to the point I have almost collided with the vehicle in front of me. This incident has occurred numerous times over the years since vehicle was purchased new.

I purchased this vehicle brand new. From day one I have had constant transmission related issues that make it feel unsafe and unreliable. When it was still under the factory warranty it was brought back to dealer multiple times. Each time I was told it's a normal characteristic of that transmission or that a simple fluid flush would fix it. It was flushed a couple of times and it would "help" for a short while. Software for the transmission control module was updated by dealer. Nothing that was done ever actually fixed the issues. The transmission bucks, jerks, clunks when up & down shifting. Lunges forward when almost to a complete stop. Shudders at higher speeds above 45-50 mph. Occasionally if I slow down from cruising speed and press accelerator to speed back up, it doesn't accelerate because it won't shift down from the higher gear it was in.

The engine in my 2015 Chevy Siverado 1500 5.3 AFM lost propulsion, began to shudder and stall on the highhway as I was pulling out of my hometown. Speed limit 60 MPH. I returned home and the flashing engine light came on before I could get home. Sputtering I pulled into the drive but was concerned about mine and my passengers safety as I turned around on the highway and headed back home! This is the second time my lifters failed, as diagnosed by the repair shop currently diagnosing the issue.

While driving at approximately 45 mph, the steering system suddenly failed without any warning. The steering wheel became extremely stiff and nearly impossible to turn, resulting in a sudden loss of control of the vehicle. I was unable to safely steer, especially when attempting to turn right, which nearly caused a crash. There were no warning lights, alerts, or prior symptoms before this failure. The issue occurred abruptly and without any indication, creating a serious and unexpected safety hazard. Due to the severity of the problem, the vehicle had to be towed and is unsafe to drive. This appears to be a failure of the electronic power steering (EPS) system. A sudden loss of steering assist at driving speed presents a significant risk of injury or death to the driver, passengers, and others on the road. This is a critical safety issue that should be investigated immediately.

In Michigan- stopped for lunch - used remote start as always when it’s cold. Came out and got back on the road and about ten minutes later a loud bang and the back window shattered. A quick google said it’s a known problem on this model with the power sliding window due to the rear defrost and there’s a recall for Canada and 10 us states but Illinois isn’t covered. Hard to understand when it’s the same part number. GM customer service rep also stated they won’t cover it when we called the corporate office. If we’d been alerted we would’ve disabled the rear defrost long ago. Frightening to know it’s a fire hazard and what if we’d had children in the back.

Driving the truck, a nut fell against my foot. I pulled over and looked underneath to where this Nut could have come from. I realized that the brake pedal was very loose. I did a Google search to see what break pedal Nut could have loosened and Fallen off. I identified that there was a recall for the brake pedal pivot nut on these trucks. From that, I looked up to that section and found that the nut did indeed come from that part. I called the local Chevrolet dealership and they informed me that my VIN number was not part of that recall list. It is obvious that General Motors left the numbers off of that recall for vehicles that are still being affected by that problem. I called General Motors customer service and spoke to Brandy at customer service and she was not willing to help and only told me to contact this government agency. In order to prevent fatalities of innocent lives, I am reporting this.

2015 Chevrolet Silverado complete engine failure. At 143,000 miles the engine failed because of the displacement on demand fuel injection system/lifters. Lifter failed without warning, destroyed the camshaft, cam bearing and crank and crank bearings. Chevrolet/GM were no help at all and took on responsibility for building defective engines they knew would fail after the warranty expired. I ended up spending nearly $17,000 to have a remanufactured engine installed.

The failure occurred in the rear sliding window defroster electrical system, specifically at the left-side electrical connection of the power sliding rear window. The component overheated and ignited, causing fire damage and shattering of the rear left portion of the window. The vehicle and damaged components are currently available for inspection upon request. The defect resulted in an active electrical fire during normal vehicle operation (remote start while warming up). This posed a serious risk of vehicle fire, injury to occupants, and potential spread to nearby vehicles or structures. As a firefighter, I recognized the danger and immediately shut off the vehicle and ventilated it; without trained action, the incident could have resulted in a total vehicle loss or more severe consequences. Yes. Copeland Chevrolet in Hudson, Massachusetts inspected the vehicle and confirmed that the damage was consistent with the known defect in the rear sliding window defroster system, consistent with GM Customer Satisfaction Program XXX.

The failure occurred suddenly and without warning during normal operation while the vehicle was warming up using the factory-installed remote start. This is a known defect acknowledged by GM under Customer Satisfaction Program XXX (which expired in 2022), wh

Vehicle has electrical issues with headlamps flickering and power steering loss (which is electronic) at lower speeds. Power and radio intermittently cut out momentarily and on occasion a "stabilitrac loss" warning flashes. Looking online, many consumers experience this issue which appears to be due to faulty ground or battery connections and many have reported complete loss of power at highway speeds resulting in accidents. This appears on several Chevrolet vehicles, but especially on the Silverado and GMC Sierra 2014-2017 models. I am very surprised a recall has not been issued yet for this very dangerous and potentially fatal issue.
