PAINT STARTED BUBBLING AND CRACKING OFF. IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT THE PAINT DID NOT ADHERE TO THE PRIMER. I HAVE 32000 MILES. MOSTLY DRIVE ON THE WEEKENDS BECAUSE I WORK ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY HOUSE. I DO NOT DO ANY OFF-ROAD DRIVING. THERE IS NO REASON FOR THE PAINT TO PEEL.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD AND THE BRAKING DISTANCE WAS EXTENDED.

TRUCK HAS ISSUES STOPPING AT SLOW SPEEDS. EXTREME PEDAL PRESSURE IS REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. WHEN TOWING, AND ATTEMPTING TO BACK UP A TRAILER, THE PRESSURE REQUIRED ON THE PEDAL MAKES MANEUVERING EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL AND UNSAFE. BRAKES ARE A VITAL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT, AND ARE NEEDED TO SAFELY OPERATE A VEHICLE IN TODAY'S DRIVING ENVIRONMENTS. I HAD THIS LOOKED AT BY A DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY INFORMED ME OF A RECALL AND SAID THEY "ADJUSTED THE SENSOR", BUT THAT HAS NOT CORRECTED THE ISSUE.
SEAT BELT FAILURE! VEHICLE WAS PARKED, I WENT TO PUT ON MY SEATBELT (DRIVER SIDE) AND CABLE ATTACHMENT PART AT BASE OF SEATBELT SEPARATED.

A/C COMPRESSOR LOCKED UP WHILE ACCELERATING WHEN DRIVING ON FREEWAY GOING ABOUT 75 MPH. I KNOW YOU MAY NOT CONSIDER AC A SAFETY FACTOR, BUT WHEN IT'S 110 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND YOUR SITTING ON LEATHER SEATS, HOW COULD THAT NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN?

LOSS OF POWER STEERING, ALL DIGITAL SCREENS GO BLACK, COMPUTER SHUTS DOWN, FINALLY RESULTING IN THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF. AT THIS POINT NOTHING OPERATES INCLUDING 4 WAYS. AFTER 2-3 MINUTES ALL RESETS AND TRUCK STARTS AND OPERATES AGAIN. DEALER AND GM TECHS HAVE GONE THROUGH THE TRUCK FOR A WEEK WITH OUT A SOLUTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES ,WITH A FEW TIMES BEING IN A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS POSITION. ALL ELECTRICAL,ALL GROUNDS AND OBC ARE IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THERE IS NO SOLUTION AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK WITH THIS ISSUE. GM HAS A MAJOR AND POTENTIALLY LETHAL PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT PUT OUT A RECALL AS OF YET. THIS WOULD LEAD ME TO BELIEVE THEY HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT THE ISSUE OR ARE WAITING FOR FATALITIES BEFORE INVESTIGATING.
THE ACCORDIAN PIECE TO THE SUNROOF JAMMED AND TORE PREVENTING CLOSING
BRAKES BECAME VERY HARD WHEN TRYING TO STOP AT SLOW SPEEDS. HAVE TO APPLY VERY HARD PRESSURE TO GET TRUCK TO STOP. SEVERAL VERY CLOSE CALLS RUNNING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE.
POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE AT LOW SPEED. VEHICLE CONTINUES TO TRAVEL A SHORT DISTANCE AFTER BRAKES ARE FULLY DEPRESSED. CAUSED MINOR COLLISION WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. BRAKES HAVE BEEN INSPECTED BY DEALERSHIP ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND BEEN DEEMED TO BE OPERATING PROPERLY. SYMPTOMS ARE MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN APPLYING BRAKES REPEATEDLY; E.G. STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR MAKING A MULTIPLE POINT TURN.
WE WERE DRIVING IN SEVIERVILLE, TN IN VERY BUSY TOURIST TRAFFIC GOING ABOUT 25 MPH WITH 2 BABIES IN THE BACK AND PULLING A TRAILER WITH A POLARIS RANGER. WHEN I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES, THERE WAS NO MOVEMENT OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. I COULDN'T PRESS IT IN UNLESS I USED 2 FEET AND APPLIED HARD PRESSURE. ONCE THE BRAKES WERE PUSHED ALL THE WAY IN, IT USED ENOUGH BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. THE MECHANIC SAID WE NEED A NEW VACUUM PUMP AND BRAKE PADS. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF WE WOULD HAVE MADE IT TO THE INTERSTATE.
WHEN MY TRUCK WAS UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY IT HAD A RATCHETING CLUNKING NOISE COMING FROM THE RACK AND PINION. THE TRUCK HAD 89000 ON IT AND I CALLED CHEVROLET FILED A COMPLAINT. I WAS DRIVING LAST SUMMER AND I LOST MY STEERING GOING DOWN THE ROAD THEN I GOT IT BACK. THEN I TOOK IT IN FOR THE SOFTWARE UPDATE RECALL. THE CHEVROLET GARAGE TOLD ME THAT THE RACK AND PINION IS NOT COVERED UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY. NOW THE TRUCK HAS 109000 AND THE RACK IS BINDING WORSE. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THEIR IS ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING. THESE RACKS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT.
LOSE POWER STEERING AND LOW SPEEDS WHEN TURNING AND STEERING WHEEL BECOMES VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN
AC CONDENSER LEAKS
UNEXPECTED AND INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER BRAKES. EVIDENT AT SLOW SPEED (WHEN BACKING). FIRST APPLICATION IS NORMAL, SECOND BRAKE APPLICATION IS POWER ASSIST IS REDUCED BY HALF, THIRD BRAKE APPLICATION HAS NO POWER BRAKE ASSIST. SAFETY HAZARD WHEN BACKING AS UNEXPECTED LOSS OF ASSIST CAN DAMAGE EQUIPMENT AND CAUSE INJURY.
DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK WHILE DRIVING AND ALSO AFTER TRUCK IS TURNED OFF AND KEY REMOVED FROM IGNITION ....PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR SOME TIME NOW BUT IS GETTING WORSE
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION MOVING STRAIGHT FORWARD AT A VERY SLOW SPEED (INCHING OUT OF CAR WASH DURING DRYING CYCLE). DASH SERVICE INDICATOR CAME ON "SERVICE POWER STEERING DRIVE WITH CARE". LOST POWER STEERING ALMOST INSTANTANEOUSLY AS DASH SERVICE WARNING APPEARED. WAS ABLE TO PULL OUT OF GAS STATION WITH NO POWER STEERING AND PULLED TO SIDE OF ROAD, TURNED OFF TRUCK. CHECKED UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE IF ANY NOTICEABLE LOOSE CONNECTIONS (NONE). WIGGLED FUSES IN FUSE BOX UNDER HOOD. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND DASH "SERVICE" INDICATOR FLASHED ON BUT POWER STEERING WORKED FOR 2 CORNERS (200 YARDS) WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH AND FAILED WITH SAME SERVICE WARNING. LIMPED TRUCK WITH NO POWER STEERING TO DEALER ABOUT 3 MILES. NO NOTICEABLE AFFECT TO ACCELERATOR OR OTHER ELECTRONICS IN THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE HAS 39,400 MILES ON IT.
THE AIR CONDITIONING CONDENSER SUFFERED A CRACK AND LEAKED REFRIGERANT REQUIRING THE ENTIRE CONDENSER TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. GM HAS OFFERED EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE ON THIS DEFECTIVE PART FOR OTHER MAKES AND MODELS WHICH USE THE EXACT SAME UNIT, HOWEVER, THEY HAVE REFUSED TO OFFER THE SAME COVERAGE TO SILVERADO OWNERS. A LACK OF A/C IN THE GULF COAST REGION RESULTS IN EXTREMELY HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES WHICH POSE HEALTH AND SAFETY RISKS. ALTERNATIVE SOLUTIONS REQUIRE DRIVING WITH WINDOWS DOWN WHICH POSE SAFETY HAZARDS DUE TO REDUCED AWARENESS RESULTING FROM SUBSTANTIAL WIND NOISE WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS.
AT LOW SPEEDS OF 15MPH OR LESS, WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED, THE VEHICLES BRAKE ASSIST STOPS WORKING AND THE ELECTRIC TO THE CAR FLASHES OFF. IF SPEEDS ARE LOW ENOUGH AND YOU APPLY BRAKES WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE WILL SHUTOFF AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND POOR DESIGN.
CONTINUOUS HEADLIGHT BUROUT. NEW LIGHTS LAST APPROX 2 MONTHS. LED, HALOGEN OR INCANDESCENT.
BRAKING IS VERY DIFFICULT WHEN AT LOW SPEEDS TO STOP, IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. I HAVE HAD MANY VERY CLOSE ACCIDENTS WHERE I HAVE ALMOST HIT OTHER VEHICLES DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP PROPERLY. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS ISSUE IS DUE TO THE BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP. THIS NEEDS A RECALL!
TRUCKS SHAKES AND VIBRATES AT SPEEDS OVER 65MPH. SHAKES ARE SO BAD IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE WHEELS ARE COMING LOOSE. TIRED HAVE BEEN REBALANCED. REPLACED. NEW RIMS. NO SOLUTION.
A/C FAILURE DUE TO CRACKS IN CONDENSER WELDMENTS. AC STARTS BLOWING WARM AIR, COMPRESSOR CYCLES CONTINUOUSLY, NOTICE THE ABSENCE OF THE COOLING FAN NOISE. ADDED ONE 12OZ CAN R134A, 1 OZ PAG OIL, BROUGHT LINE PRESSURES BACK> LS-40-45PSI/ HS>230-250PSI, VENT TEMP ON MAX-38 DEG. LASTS ABOUT A WEEK.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
