Vehicle was being operated on a paved road when the rear window defroster was turned on to clear snow on the outside. several moments later i heard a hissing sound coming from the rear interior of the pickup cab and then looked into the rear view mirror, at which time i saw smoke emitting form the lower corner of the passenger side fixed window pane (this is 3 piece rear window where the middle pan opens via electrical switch). the hissing continued with the smoke that was coming from the lower corner of the window nearest to the central window panel. i immediately recognized the odor of an electrical fire (burning insulation) and then turned off the rear window defroster switch. the hissing sound and smoke ceased. a few seconds later 8 heard a loud 'pop' sound come from the back window and observed that the entire rear passenger side window had shattered, in place with the fracture line emanating outward from he area where the smoke was first observed.
Upon turning the vehicle on there were no alerts like seat belt warnings, door open, hands free calling, onstar. also when shutting vehicle off no alarm to indicate keys are in the ignition. cannot hear if blinker is on. nothing comes through the radio. this happens on an intermittent basis. approximately every several months. sometimes it will start the sheets if i shut the vehicle off then start it back up. today it didn't do that. at this time my truck has approximately 80,000 miles. also on occasion the service electric breaks have indicated an issue as well.
Air conditioner blowing hot air.vehicle was in motion.i understand this is a common problem with silverados.did research on line.cost over $1000.00 to repair.condenser failure (leaking)
The accordian piece to the sunroof jammed and tore preventing closing
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.
Our air conditioning condenser went out after only owning the vehicle 3.5 years and 70k miles. we bought it brand new. it is costing us $1100 to fix.
I have 60,000 miles and bought it new and today my ac goes out here is another 1000 dollars to repair the condenser i see there are a lot of problems with this year what can we do this is such a shame for the chevrolet family we purchase appx 10 a year and this is what we have to look forward to my brother has a 2015 also and has replaced the condenser 2 times already when are they going to step up and take care of the customers!!?? not only that but i called young chevrolet at 7:27am and spoke with the parts/service dept and they said take it anywhere not the chevy corp office is stating no after i already started the repair i cant be with out ac i have breathing issues and the hot texas heat doesn't help they really need to get their act together!
70,000 miles and truck needs a condenser. it is a know problem and chevrolet needs to do something about it. it is a 1000.00 repair.
I haven't used the a/c in my truck since last october (2018) approximately. two weeks ago was the first time i've tried to use my a/c and it is only blowing hot air, as i was driving down the interstate. from what i've researched, this is an known problem with a lot of vehicles from gm from 2014-2017 and nothing is being done about it.this is not okay, whatsoever.
When backing up i applied the brakes and the pedal was extremely stiff barely able to stop.
There is a faulty ac condenser component that leaks. this causes all the freon to be spilled out and make the ac blow hot air.
Cracked weld in ac condenser. has happened to numerous gm pickups and suv's in this year.
A/c stopped cooling. still blowing, but not cooling. way to new of a truck to have this issue with 100 temps coming soon.
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.
Air conditioning doesn't work. add refrigent and it works for a day or two then stops again. no sign of a leak.
