2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH IT. CHEVY WENT FROM OFFERING TO LEMON LAW IT OUT TO SITTING BACK WAITING ON AN INTEL TO FINISH KILLING ME. THEY SABOTAGED TRUCK OR ITS A HORRIBLE PROBLEM. AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT 45 MPG FRON TEND COLLISSION. I COULD HAVE DIED. THEY DONT CARE. 1 YEAR LATER, NO ONE CAME TO LOOK AT IT. THEY DELAY ME DAY ATER DAY

AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTENTLY GETS HARD AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO STOP. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS NO POWER BRAKES. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN PARKING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 5 TIMES.

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH APPROPRIATE FORCE ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE POWER... I WOULD EQUATE IT TO 85-90% BRAKE LOSS. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED OVER DOUBLE THE USUAL STOPPING DISTANCE. I DID END UP GOING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS THANKFULLY NOT HIT. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED MY TRUCK, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND ALL NORMAL PEDAL FEEL HAS BEEN RESTORED.

THE RACK AND PINION HAS GONE OUT ON MY 2015 CHEVY 1500. LOUD CREAKING NOISES CAN BE HEARD FROM TURNING THE WHEEL SIDE TO SIDE. FOR A TRUCK TO BE 4 YEARS AND WITH 40K MILES AND THIS TO GO BAD IS A REAL QUALITY ISSUE. ONLINE I HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE

BRAKE PEDAL TOO HARD..SOMETIMES DONT BRAKE HAVE TO PUT BOTH FEET TO BRAKE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DELAYED IN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MORAN CHEVROLET CLINTON TWP (35500 GRATIOT AVE, CLINTON TWP, MI 48035, (866) 774-3206) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVY 1500. IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER,(IN ALABAMA) SO WHEN MY AC STOPPED WORKING I FIGURED IT NEEDED RECHARGED AS I DO USE IT QUITE OFTEN. RECHARGED IT AND IT WORKED FOR 2 DAYS. THEN OUT AGAIN. SO I RECHARGED IT AND USED THE DYE TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS LOCATED. CAN NOT SEE WHERE A LEAK IS ANYWHERE. MY TRUCK IS JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE ARE 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS, WHY IS NOTHING DONE? I UNDERSTAND THAT AC IS NOT A NECESSITY TO SOME BUT WITH A 7 YO THAT HAS ASTHMA, LIVING IN ALABAMA IT BECOMES A NECESSITY. OH, FYI WHEN YOUR AIR NOT WORKING NEITHER DOES YOUR DEFOG. WHEN DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT ITS SO BAD YOU CANT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED 4 TIMES BC OF IT. I DID HIT A DOG BC I COULDNT SEE IT..... AND TO THINK ALL THE 1000'S OF PEOPLE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM BC OF A FLAWED DESIGN. YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE NOTE BEFORE PAYING A LAWSUIT BC SOMEONE LOST THEIR LIFE BC OF SOMETHING SIMPLE AND KNOWN.

BRAKE SUDDENLY BECAME REAL HARD AND I COULDN'T STOP THE VEHICLE. I HAD TO PRESS REAL HARD TO GET IT TO STOP. I RAN INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AT A RED LIGHT FORTUNATELY NO CARS WERE CLOSE TO THAT INTERSECTION AT THAT TIME01

WHEN TRAVELLING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DOES NOT FULLY STOP THE VEHICLE. ON 3 OCCASIONS NOW, I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS STOPPING THE TRUCK WHILE PARKING, COMING VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE.

BRAKE VACUUM PUMP FAILED WHILE ON THE FREEWAY CAUSING BRAKE PEDAL TO BE UNRESPONSIVE ALMOST CAUSING MAJOR ACCIDENT. THIS IS LISTED AS UNDER INVESTIGATION. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR LIGHT. BRAKE PEDAL INSTANTLY BECAME STIFF AND COULD NOT BE PRESSED DOWN. CHEVROLET FIXED THIS BY REPLACING ONLY THE PUMP. IT'S RECOMMENDED THE VACUUM LINES AND BRAKE BOOSTER BE REPLACED TOO DUE TO POTENTIAL OIL LEAKAGE WHICH STATES WILL CAUSE PUMP TO FAIL AGAIN. CHEVY DID NOT REPLACE ADDITIONAL PARTS FOR ME.

AIR CONDITIONING DOESN'T WORK. ADD REFRIGENT AND IT WORKS FOR A DAY OR TWO THEN STOPS AGAIN. NO SIGN OF A LEAK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE REVERSING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL; HOWEVER, THEY FAILED TO RESPOND. WHEN THE CONTACT MADE A SECOND ATTEMPT, THE BRAKES RESPONDED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DIFFICULT TO DEPRESS AND THERE WAS A DELAY IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO EAST SYRACUSE CHEVROLET (1 CHEVY DR, EAST SYRACUSE, NY 13057) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

NOTICED HARD BRAKE PEDAL ON TOP WHEN STOPPING. DEALER TECH SAID BRAKE VACUUM ASSIST PUMP NEEDS REPLACING. LESS THAN 75,000 MILES - NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY

I WAS DRIVING SLOWED DOWN TO TURN RIGHT ONTO MY STREET IOSS TOTAL CONTROL OF MY TRUCK ENDED UP ON THE SIDE WALK ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF ROAD AS I WAS NOT ABLE TO CONTROL MY TRUCK, MY TRUCK SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE IN DRIVE, MYDASHBOARD STARTED TO DISPLAY STABILITRACK DISABLED, STEERING ASSISTANT REDUCED, TWO KEY PROGRAMMED, OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVER DOOR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT THE FIRST TIME TO THIS EXTREME THAT IS WHY WE HAD TOOK OUR TRUCK TO VANDERGRIFF CHEVROLET IN ARLINGTON TX ON 2/16/19 WERE THEY TOOK CARE OF THE OPEN RECALL AND DID A SOFTWARE RESET FOR LOSS OF STEERING ASSIST C18289 AND POWER STEERING CONTROL MODULE BUT EVEN AFTER SOFTWARE RESET I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE I'M TAKING MY VEHICLE IN AGAIN TO BE SERVICED AS I FIND THIS LOSS OF STEERING VERY DANGEROUS THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS ON THAT SIDE WALK THAT COULD'VE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT. THE OTHER TWO TIMES THIS HAPPENED PRIOR TO YESTERDAY WAS WHEN WE WERE IN A DRIVE THRU AND WE WERE TURNING TO ORDER FOOD AND ONCE TURNING INTO MY SONS SCHOOL AGAIN VEHICLE SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE IN DRIVE ALL THE WARNINGS LIGHTS DISPLAYING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP EVEN BY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 43,760.

WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP MY TRUCK. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THE PEDAL FELT LIKE I WAS PUSHING ON A BRICK. I DID GET MY TRUCK STOPPED AND GOT IT OFF THE ROAD. I CALLED MY DEALER WHO SAID THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BUT THOUGHT IT SOUNDED LIKE A BRAKE BOOSTER FAILURE. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO STARTED A CASE # 9-5055710889, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRENTY. UPON FURTHER READING I DISCOVERED THE TSB FOR MY TRUCK TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER, MASTER CYLINDER, LINE , AND VACUM PUMP. THE TRUCK IS BEING REPAIRED NOW. MY TRUCK HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT.

WHILE DRIVING AND TRAFFIC MY BRAKE PEDAL GETS SO HARD CANNOT STOP TRUCK

I WAS DRIVING MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 WHEN MY DAUGHTER IN THE BACKSEAT NOTICED THAT'S SOMETHING SMELL LIKE IT WAS BURNING, SHE TOLD ME AND WITHIN 10 SECONDS I COULD SMELL THE SAME THING AND IT SMELLED LIKE ELECTRICAL WAS BURNING. I COULD SEE SMOKE COMING FROM BEHIND HER HEADREST SO I PULLED OFF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND GOT HER OUT OF THE BACK SEAT AND COULD SEE IT WAS COMING FROM EITHER THE SLIDE WINDOW OR THE DEFROSTER SO I JUMPED IN THE FRONT SEAT AND SEEN THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON AND SHUT THAT OFF AND ALMOST IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING ME SHUTTING THAT OFF IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUNSHOT WENT OFF IN MY BACK SEAT AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW EXPLODED THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT TOGETHER WAS THE FACTORY WINDOW TINT. THERE IS ALL KIND OF GLASS SHARDS IN THE BACKSEAT FROM WHEN IT SHATTERED. I HAD TO HAVE MY WIFE PICK UP MY DAUGHTER BECAUSE SHE IS TOO YOUNG TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. SO I HAVE TO PUT TAPE OVER THE WINDOW TO HOLD IT TOGETHER UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP CONTACTS ME BACK.

MY TRUCK BRAKES NORMALLY EXCEPT WHEN I STOPPED, THEN AT LOW SPEED THE TRUCK FAILS TO STOP. I'VE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS (HITTING WALLS, POLES, A BUS) AND ITS EVEN WORSE GOING DOWNHILL. IT TAKES BOTH FEET AND ALL MY WEIGHT TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. HAPPENS WHEN GOING FORWARD AND REVERSE. I'VE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT IT ON THE INTERNET AND I'VE TALKED WITH GM TECHS AND IT'S A BAD PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP. PLEASE HELP!!!!

HELLO JUST WANTED SHARE THIS ABOUT MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO MY STARTED MAKING A STRANGE KNOCK SOUND SQEALING NOISE ON ENGINE SO TOOK IT TO CHEVROLET DEALER TO HAVE IT CKECKED OUT THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD THAT IT HAD EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLTS BROKE OFF IN ENGINE BLOCK IT WILL COST $4000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR I FEEL THAT IS A GM MANUFACTURE ISSUE EVEN MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THIS PROBLEM I FEEL THAT SHOULDN'T PAY SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE WHY THESE BOLTS BROKE OFF

TAKADA RECALL. WHILE TRAVELING APPROX 70 MPH APPLING BRAKES OR TURN SIGNAL INFORMATION SCREEN MOMENTARILY FLASHES BLANK, ENINE HESITATES AND SEAT BELT WARNING SOUNDS

WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO PARK, I LOST BRAKING AND COULD NOT STOP THE TRUCK. I HAD TO PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK TO STOP THE MOMENTUM. THIS HAPPENED GOING IN REVERSE. WHEN TAKEN TO DEALER I WAS CHARGED $470.96 FOR PARTS AND LABOR AT N THE VACUUM PUMP WHICH PROVIDES POWER FOR BRAKING AND STEERING.

VACUUM PUMP ON 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ON JULY 8, 2018. APPLIED BRAKES AND THEY WERE HARD AND WOULD NOT DEPRESS. THEY EVENTUALLY STARTED TO WORK SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP. THIS OCCURRED OFF AND ON FOR OVER TWO WEEKS, USUALLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS, UNTIL I WAS ABLE TO GET THEM FIXED ON JULY 24, 2018. SEE REPAIR ORDER. I WANTED TO FILE THIS BECAUSE I SAW THE NHTSA WAS INVESTIGATING FAULTY BRAKE VACUUM PUMPS AND MINE WAS NOT REPAIRED AT A CHEVROLET DEALER.

WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS MOSTLY BACKING MY VEHICLE LOSES BRAKING. THE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR HOWEVER THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO ROLL.

MY TRUCK WOULD BRAKE NORMALLY EXCEPT WHEN I STOPPED, THEN AT LOW SPEED THE TRUCK WOULD FAIL TO STOP. I ALMOST GOT INTO MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS (HITTING WALLS, POLES, A BUS) AND WAS EVEN WORSE GOING DOWNHILL. IT TOOK BOTH FEET AND ALL MY WEIGHT TO GET THE TRUCK TO STOP. MY DEALER SAID THE VACUUM PUMP WAS AT 11PSI WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN 27. EVENTUALLY SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE.

I NOTICED A WATER LEAK IN THE HEAD LINER BY THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF WATER LEAKS COMING THROUGH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW. WE TRIED FIXING IT USING A NEW GASKET, SILICONE, AND EVEN A NEW LIGHT WITH NEW SEALS AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE.

VACUUM PUMP. MY VACUUM PUMP WENT OUT AS I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY. EVERY FEW PRESSES OF THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WOULD GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND IT TOOK MUCH LONGER TO STOP. IT WAS SCARY AND I AM VERY THANKFUL I DIDN'T GET IN A WRECK. I GOT IT FIXED AT MY CHEVROLET DEALER. THE COST FOR REPAIR WAS $600. WORST PART IS MY VEHICLE, A 2015, ONY HAD 27,000 MILES ON IT. STILL FEELS NEW AND THE BRAKES FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THEY USED THE REMOTE STARTER TO START THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES, THE CONTACT NOTICED A LITTLE SMOKE COMING FROM THE REAR SLIDING GLASS WINDOW. THE CONTACT WALKED OUT TO THE VEHICLE TO INVESTIGATE THE ORIGIN OF THE SMOKE AND NOTICED THAT THE GLASS FROM THE REAR WINDOW WAS GLOWING A CHERRY RED COLOR. THE CONTACT IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND EXITED THE VEHICLE RIGHT BEFORE THE REAR WINDOW GLASS SHATTERED. THE DEALER (ELM CHEVROLET, 301 E CHURCH ST, ELMIRA, NY 14901) STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY A WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO WIRING SHORT CIRCUIT. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE BACKING DOWN A SLOPED DRIVEWAY WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL HAS BECOME HARD TO PUSH AND BRAKING WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE. THIS SAME PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED WHILE BACKING A TRAILER, IT TAKES A GREATER APPLIED FORCE TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE.

AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE STREET IN THE EARLY MORNING THERE WAS A BURNING SMELL INSIDE THE CAB OF MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY. SHORTLY AFTER I SMELLED SOMETHING BURNING MY DRIVER-SIDE SLIDING BACK WINDOW SHATTERED WITH A LOUD EXPLOSION.

I HAD A BRAKE DEFECTIVE VACUUM PUMP ON MY ON 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. I HAD THE VACUUM PUMP CHANGED ON 1/30/2019. MY BRAKES WERE LOSING PRESSURE WHEN I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY. MY BRAKES WOULD LOSE PRESSURE PRIMARILY WHILE I WAS BACKING UP. I HAVE NARROWLY MISSED HAVING SEVERAL ACCIDENTS (WITH OTHER VEHICLES AND PROPERTY) DUE TO THE PROBLEM. ON ONE INSTANCE, I LOST BRAKE PRESSURE GOING DOWN A HILL. BRAKING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED, AND SO WERE MY EFFORTS TO HALT MY TRUCK. I ALSO NOTICED MY BRAKES LOSING PRESSURE AFTER MY TRUCK GIVING ME SEVERAL ALERTS (WHILE DRIVING AND PARKED) ABOUT SERVICING THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM. I AM NOT SURE IF THAT HAS ANY BEARING ON THE VACUUM PUMP. I WILL ALSO BE REPLACING THE TRAILER BRAKE SWITCH ON MY TRUCK. I HOPE THIS FIXES EVERYTHING AND I WILL NOT HAVE THAT PROBLEM AGAIN. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS HAS BEEN A PARTICULAR PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK SINCE ABOUT AUGUST OR SO.

MY PAINT IT FLAKING/PEELING AROUND MY WHEEL WELLS AND THE DEALER SAYS THEY CANT FIX IT. THE PAINT JUST KEEPS PEELING AND PEELING I HAVE THREE SPOTS AND THEY KEEP GETTING BIGGER TO THE POINT THEY ARE RUSTING. THE PROBLEM IS THE PAINT ISN'T STICKING TO THE METAL/PRIMER VERY CHEAP PAINT.

AS MY WIFE CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOPLIGHT AND AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT ACCERLATE. SHE PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND STILL WOULD NOT ACCERLATE. SO DUE TO THIS THE TRUCK SLOWLY ROLLED FOWARD. SHE SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT MOVE. LIKE IF THEY BECAME LOCKED AND WOULDN'T MOVE AN INCH. AT THIS POINT SHE IS TRYING TO GET OFF THE ROAD TO THE SHOULDER, TO AVOID ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THEN SHE FINDS THAT THE STEERING WHEEL IS ALSO LOCKED AND CAN NOT BE TURNED. IT'S TAKING HER MAXIMUM EFFORT TO STOP THE TRUCK FROM ROLLING FORWARD AND TO VEER OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES. SHE IS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AFTER ABOUT 100 YARDS OF EFFORT AND WAITS ABOUT 10 MINUTES, BEFORE THE BRAKES AND STEERING WHEEL WOULD FREE UP. NO ERROR MESSAGE WAS PRESENT THE ENTIRE TIME THESE FUNCTIONS WERE DISABLED AND AFTER THEY FREED UP, IT WAS LIKE IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS EVER BEEN ON THIS VEHICLE. STRONG BELIEF THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V586000 (STEERING), THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING FLICKERED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART; HOWEVER, IT STALLED AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO OPERATE NORMALLY AFTER BEING RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE ORIGINAL RON CARTER CHEVROLET (3206 FM 528 ROAD, CHEVROLET BUILDING, ALVIN, TX 77511,(281) 819-6007), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN.

THE DRIVERS SEAT MAKES A LATERAL MOVEMENT AND/OR CLICKING NOISE. THE SEAT IS NOT STABLE AND CAN CAUSE A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE SEAT MOVEMENT WHEN DRIVING. GM IS COMPLETELY AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM EXISTS ON 2014, 2015, 2016 SILVERADO'S AND ON OTHER GM VEHICLES. GM WILL REPAIR THE PROBLEM IF THE OWNER NOTICES IT DURING THE 36 MONTH/36000 MILES BUT IS REFUSING TO REPAIR IT AFTER THAT. GM HAS SUPPOSEDLY CORRECTED THE PROBLEM IN 2017 AND NEWER VEHICLES. SERVICE BULLETIN #18-NA-377 DATED DEC 17, 2018 DOCUMENT ID # 5185379 APPLIES. THIS MOVEMENT AND NOISE OCCURS WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY WHILE TURNING AND IS COMPLETELY DISTRACTING. THIS DEFECT IN THE FRONT SEAT MECHANISM ALLOWS FOR SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THE SEAT CAN BECOME DISLODGED ESPECIALLY DURING AN ACCIDENT. GM HAS REFUSED TO REPAIR AND CORRECT THIS DEFECT THAT THEY HAVE KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS.

FRONT SUSPENSION NOISE - DURING COLD WEATHER AND WHEN FIRST DRIVING WITHIN THE FIRST 1/2 MILE, A LOUD NOISE COMES FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP OR SPEED BUMP. THIS ONLY HAPPENED WHEN VERY COLD AND WITHIN THE FIRST 1/2 MILE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AT 35000 MILES (KOONS CHEVROLET, TYSONS CORNER, VA) AND UNDER WARRANTY THEY RE-TORQUED THE FRONT FRAME CROSS MEMBER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS. I ACTUALLY COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT CHEVROLET AND THE DEALER STATED THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IN ALL MY YEARS REPAIRING CARS, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A "FRAME CROSS MEMBER" REQUIRING RE-TORQUEING ESPECIALLY ON A NEW VEHICLE. IF IT WAS LOOSE ALONG WITH THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS, THAT WOULD INDICATE A SERIOUS PROBLEM. PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. 6 MONTHS LATER WHEN COLD AGAIN, BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND THEY NOW STATE THAT "THE SWAY BAR BUSHINGS REQUIRED LUBRICATION". AGAIN, I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A RUBBER BUSHING REQUIRING LUBRICATION. IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKING THE TRUCK FROM THE DEALER, I TOOK PICTURES OF THE SWAY BAR BUSHINGS SOWING ALL THE LUBRICANT OOZING OUT. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS ISSUE WITH GM AND THEY HAVE BEEN NON-RESPONSIVE. MY CONCERN IS WITH ALL THE VIBRATIONS THAT THESE TRUCKS HAVE REPORTED, THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE FRONT SWAY BAR BUSHINGS WILL BE REDUCED AND COULD HAVE A SERIOUS DETRIMENTAL AFFECT DURING A CRASH AS THE VEHICLE GETS OLDER. I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO GM SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE. THE DEALER JUST WANTS THE PROBLEM TO GO AWAY AND NOT SEE THE TRUCK

BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES HARD TO PRESS WHEN FREQUENTLY STOPPING, SUCH AS BACKING UP A TRAILER OR IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC. THIS HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT MORE THAN ONCE. IT IS BECOMING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND MORE FREQUENT THERE ARE NO FAULT INDICATORS OR CODES DISPLAYED. IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN AND THEN START RANDOMLY IN TRAFFIC.

WHEN HAVING TO APPLY THE BRAKES REPEATEDLY, SLOW TRAFFIC, STOP LIGHTS, BACKING A TRAILER. THE BRAKES BECOME EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH AND DO NOT FUNCTION. EXCEPTIONALLY DANGEROUS BACKING A TRAILER DOWN A BOAT RAMP OR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFICE. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR

WHEN TRAVELING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL GETS VERY HARD AND YOU CAN NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENED TO ME 3 TIMES TOO MANY, I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, $709.00 LATER, THEY SUPPOSEDLY REPLACED THE VACUUM PUMP. DEALER STATED THEY HAVE HAD OTHER VEHICLES BROUGHT IN FOR THE SAME REASON. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

ON TWO OCCASIONS IN THE PAST WEEK MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS BECOME EXTREMELY STIFF AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED AS I APPROACHED A STOP SIGN ON A BUSY CITY STREET. MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. CAUSING ME TO ROLL INTO THE PATH OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. I MANAGED TO STOP AND THE OTHER VEHICLE AVOIDED ME. THE SECOND INCIDENT OCCURRED THIS MORNING AS I BACKED INTO MY DRIVE WAY. AS I ATTEMPTED TO STOP MY PEDAL BECAME STIFF AND THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. DESPITE STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL I WAS UNABLE TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE IT STRUCK MY UTILITY TRAILER. THANKFULLY NO DAMAGED OCCURRED. I CONTACTED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT AT MISSION CHEVROLET IN EL PASO, TEXAS AND WAS ADVISED THE PART IS IN HEAVY DEMAND AND WILL BE UNAVAILABLE FOR 7 TO 10 BUSINESS DAYS.

WHILE BACKING UP VEHICLE, AT A SLOW SPEED, GRAVEL DRIVEWAY, BACKING DOWN HILL, BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AND REQUIRED A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT MORE BRAKING EFFORT WITH MUCH LESS EFFECT. AFTER VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND MOVED FORWARD, THIS WAS STILL PRESENT. VEHICLE WAS AGAIN STOPPED AND THEN POWER CYCLED. THIS RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO NORMAL.

AT LOW SPEEDS WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED IN THE TRUCK STILL ROLLS. ON THREE OCCASIONS OVER THE LAST 6 MONTHS THIS HAS HAPPENED AND ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE WRECKS. ONCE WAS IN THE MOUNTAINS, ONCE WAS TURNING ON A CURVE, ONCE WAS ON A STRAIGHT FLAT BLACK TOP.

BRAKE PEDAL GETS HARD, AND BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING, IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. USUALLY AT LOW SPEED, AND IT HAS MADE IT INTERESTING AT PARKING LOTS, OR STOP & GO TRAFFIC, AND PARKING IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WE HAVE CHECKED EVERYTHING, AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. GOOGLED THE SYMPTOMS, AMD IT APPEARS THIS IS HAPPENING TO MORE CHEVROLET SILVERADOS THAN MINE, AND THE TECH'S SAY IT'S A BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP ISSUE. I THINK CHEVROLET NEED TO FIX THIS ISSUE, SINCE IT'S HAPPENING TO SEVERAL TRUCKS, IT'S NOT JUST A FLAWED PUMP, BUT MORE LIKELY A PUMP WEEKNESS OVERALL. HAPPENED FIRST TIME A YEAR AGO, WHEN IN A FERRY LANE, AND THE SPEED WAS WALKING SPEED, AND WE BARELY MANAGED TO STOP BEFORE WE HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO OPERATE. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE CRASHED INTO A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PARK THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED GENGRAS CHEVROLET AT (860) 748-4355 (585 CONNECTICUT BLVD, EAST HARTFORD, CT 06108) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF ANY BRAKE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000.

GM HAS RECALL 14315 FOR MY YEAR MAKE AND STYLE OF VEHICLE. THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN IS NOT LISTED FOR THIS RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS THE PROBLEMS LISTED IN THIS RECALL. ALL SOUNDS DO NOT WORK INCLUDING THE SEAT BEAT REMINDER, THE DOOR OPEN REMINDER AND ALL VEHICLE SOUNDS FROM THE SPEAKERS. GM WILL NOT REPAIR IT AS MY VIN DOES NOT COME UP IN THERE SYSTEM FOR THIS RECALL. HOW CAN MY VIN BE INCLUDED FOR THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

DRIVING DOWN SINGLE LANE ROAD I BEGAN TO STOP FOR RED LIGHT, AS I BEGAN TO DEPRESS BRAKE PEDAL BUT IT WAS STIFF AND HAD SIGNIFICANT EFFECT SLOWING MY TRUCK. I DROVE OF RIGHT SIDE OF ROAD INTO WET GRASS TOO AVOID COLLISION OF SUV STOPED IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NO LOSS OF CONTROL OR DAMAGE DONE TO EXTERIOR OF TRUCK OR MYSELF . AS I'M ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPED THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOY FOR NO APPARENT REASON CAUSING SEVER DAMAGE IT THE INTERIOR PANELS, HEADLINER AND BOTH FRONT SEAT BELTS THAT HAVE THAT CONTAIN SMALL CHARGE PERMINTLY LOCK AND NOW ARE UN USABLE.I WAS ONLY PERSON IN TRUCK BUT THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT IS RETRACTED AND LOCKED GUITAR STRING TIGHT.

AT LOW SPEEDS WHILE IN MOTION EITHER IN TRAFFIC, DRIVEWAYS OR PARKING LOTS THE POWER BRAKES WOULD STOP WORKING CAUSING THE TRUCK TO NOT BRAKE PROPERLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY STIFF AND WOULD NOT STOP. WHILE THIS DID NOT CAUSE ANY ACCIDENTS, IT WAS A NEAR MISS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE THEY SAID THE BRAKE "VACUUM PUMP HAS FAILED". THEY STATED IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WOULD COST $700.89. THE PUMP WAS REPLACED ON 11/28/2018, WITH NO OCCURANCES OF THIS ISSUE SINCE. THE TRUCK HAD 59,108 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF VACUUM PUMP REPLACEMENT. THE FIRST BRAKE ISSUE WAS AROUND 50,000 MILES AND HAPPENED ABOUT 8-10 TIMES BETWEEN JUNE AND NOVEMBER 2018.

WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAY,WAS CHANGING LANES SO I STEPPED ON THE GAS TO SWITCH LANES AND THEN CHECK ENGINE STARTED FLASHING AND STABILITRAK ACTIVE LIGHT CAME ON. SLOWED DOWN AND FELT THE TRUCK WITH SOME UNUSUAL SHAKING, WHEN I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND INTO THE STREET AS SOON AS I STOPPED IT FELT LIKE THE ENGINE WANTED TO SHUT OFF BUT IT DID NOT,TRUCK WAS SHAKING AT EVERY STOP I MADE. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS STILL ON AND STABILITRAK ACTIVE LIGHT ON

WHEN DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT APPROXIMATELY 30MPH , ALL ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS SUDDENLY DIED AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN. COASTED TO A STOP WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR STEERING CONTROL, ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TURNED OFF AND ON IGNITION AND COMPUTER SYSTEM HAD ME "TURN ON AND OFF DRIVER WINDOW'. ALSO REFERENCE A FEW OTHER ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ERRORS THAT CLEARED AFTER ONCE AGAIN STARTING VEHICLE. DURING THE RESULTING 20 MINUTE DRIVE HOME, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHOWED A FEW ERRORS, ONCE WHEN INITIATING A TURN SIGNAL AND HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED BUT CAR DID NOT SUDDENLY DIE. NEXT DAY IT IS NOW RUNNING OKAY SO FAR. RESEARCHING THIS SUDDEN ELECTRICAL AND TOTAL SYSTEM SHUTDOWN ONLINE I FOUND NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH 2014/2015 SILVERADO MODELS FROM OTHERS. DISCUSSED WITH LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND FOUND THEY HAVE SEEN OTHER CUSTOMERS LOCALLY WITH THIS INTERMITTENT ISSUE AND HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND OR FIX THE PROBLEM.
