A/c condenser leaking, many complaints online and gm dealers replacing their faulty inventory.
Brake pedal gets very hard when driving at slow speeds and in reverse. makes a ticking sound like the anti lock brakes are kicking in but no dash lights illuminate. almost rear ended a vehicle travelling 25mph but was able to pull in a parking lot to avoid collision. truck has 79xxx miles
Within 6 weeks i had to replace 3 tires on my truck. i still had 4/32 of were left on these tires that only had approximately 27000 miles on them. i ended up buying a forth tires and had the tires balanced for another hundred dollars.i have all the receipts and i am looking for compensation for inferior tires that were on the truck when i bought it. chevrolet quality was not there on my tires. this happened over a 6 week period starting 10/20/2017 to 10/28/2017.
After owning my truck for just over 2 years and 30k miles, the ac stopped blowing cold air. when purchased new and for the next couple of years driving it, the ac worked perfectly, this happened from one day to the next. after searching online for a resolution, i came across multiple other chevrolet owners with the same issue. the culprit came to be known as the ac condenser. it is known that the condensers used by gm for this model truck have weak welds and this is where the condenser fails producing a small leak. as it turns out, gm is aware of the issue with the ac condensers on these vehicles and refuses to cover them under warranty and wants to charge upwards of $1k dollars to replace. i am completely unsatisfied with this considering my truck is only 2 years old with under 35k miles on it. this is too new of a vehicle for the ac to be having problems that are not covered under warranty.
It seems that my vehicle is leaking somewhere around either the sunroof or the xm antenna. i already had the leak around the third brake light which not only filled the lens up with water and kept blowing bulbs for my third brake light fixed. but from the research i've done it seems that a lot of different year and models of the silverado have been doing so. but some how when it rains or i wash my truck or go thru a car wash i get water dripping from my headliner onto my heated seats, down behind my dash and water puddling up into my floorboard, on the drivers side. when the third brake light was leaking my whole rear floorboard would be completely soaked. the condensation on my windows would make it hard to drive and be able to see thru the windshield, the water dripping on me while driving was a distraction also and if i turned on my heated seats i sometimes would feel electrical shocks in my butt, and the fact that i have mold growing on top of my headliner and in my carpet makes my truck smell and i'm sure breathing the mold in isn't health for me or my 10 year old son. i took the truck to the local chevy place and they won't fix it due to it having over 36,000 miles yet i have the extended warranty which doesn't cover this, my insurance company doesn't cover it either.
Truck vibrating at highway speeds. between 65 to 85 mph the tucks has a constant vibration.
My truck only has 42,000 miles on it. over the course of 3 days i noticed the air conditioner go from blowing cold air to blowing warmer air until it no longer was cold. the dealer inspected the system and said the ac condenser needs to be replaced. since it is out of warranty, it will cost approximately $1,300 to fix. the part is on backorder for at least 3 weeks. the current "feel like" temperature in florida is 106 degrees fahrenheit outside. that would be a long time to go without a/c without a loaner from the dealer, which the dealer did offer.
While using a spare key to my 2015 silverado for the entire day, and driving over 70 miles, the "anti-theft" warning light suddenly came on. i continued to drive approx. 10 miles with the light on and while turning off a busy road, across on-coming traffic, the truck completely shut off. no steering, no forward movement, nothing. it virtually went dead! i was able to put the truck in park and try to start it again (thank goodness no traffic coming through at the time). after several attempts it started again and i began to drive around the corner to my home, where it completely shut off again, in front of my driveway. had it towed, as i was nervous about driving it again. the chevy dealership service department was unable to conclude what happened. they tested it with the spare key, and still no sign of any trouble. i am reluctant to drive this truck.
The 2015 chevrolet silverado k1500 high country vibrates and makes a loud humming noise at various speeds beginning at 20 mph up to approximately 60 mph. the vibration can be felt through the seat and steering wheel. the frequency and sound level is not dependent on speed, load or road conditions. it's always there. i'm taking it back to the chevrolet dealer again tomorrow for another round of attempted repairs. at first the dealer said the vibration and noise was normal. after showing them a copy of the gm service bulletin ' pi1354c, they now admit to a potential issue. still not solution.
Air conditioner started blowing hot air. took to dealer they found a weld broken loose on the top left corner of the condenser causing a leak. currently gm condensers are on back order. due to the overwhelming problem nationwide. they charge me to refill the system with freon (or equivalent), 24 hours later it has leaked out and is blowing hot air again. dealer guessed 3 to 6 weeks before they would get the replacement part in. truck has 68,000 miles with cost going to be $1300.00. we also have a 2015 chevrolet suburban with 74,000 miles on it that had the exact same problem. cost $1300.00 to fix.
At approximately 45k miles, truck began to shake at 70 mph. issue only occurs on highways/interstates where 70mph can be driven safely. now has 52k miles. dealer had accessorized truck with oversize wheels/tires & lift kit. i bought it this way. was smooth until about 45k miles. my tires are still good, but i will replace before 60k miles internet searching revealed much information regarding "chevy shake" issue with gm full size trucks and suv's. i believe mine is affected by the 'chevy shake' mystery problem. will be taking to dealer for regular service 7/21/17 and advising them of this issue. they will likely blame it on aftermarket equipment/suspension/wheels/tires, even though the dealership accessorized the truck when new through a specialty shop. i bought warranties that supposedly cover all of the truck, even the stuff dealer had the specialty shop put on it.
Truck shakes while traveling on the highway. it isn't noticeable on side streets in the city but when traveling on a major highway the entire truck shakes sometimes at lower speeds but always above 70-75 miles per hour. it shakes so violently that a drink in the console will shake out of it's container. i've had it in the shop 4 times but the chevrolet service center cannot fix it. they have balanced and replaced tires but cannot fix it. i feel it is unsafe or could lead to damage rendering it unsafe.
Sunroof shattered while driving down highway. heard a loud, powerful explosion. the shattered glass was kept in the retractable sunroof cover. thank god it was closed. there was no overpass that we went under no vehicle in front nor behind us. it was a cloudy cool day temp. around 50 degrees.

I bought a gm certified silverado with 20000 mile on it. and the idle vibration and drive vibration are so bad it gives me headaches after driving for any period over an hour. the dealer says this is normal and they are nuts if this is normal. i have contacted chevrolet. but after researching online, there does not seem to be a fix. my truck is unsafe! chevrolet needs you fix these problems.
Vehicle has bad vibration between 65 and 75 mph.
Transmission problems. when reversing up a driveway the truck will stall as the gas is pressed it will rev up but not go anywhere, then jump into reverse as if the petal was floored. also some times when entering the highway the transmission doesn't shift into the correct gears also jumping into gear which could cause accidents.
I own a gray 2015 silverado and the paint is flaking off on numerous spots all over the vehicle. the flakes are the size of a pin head and appear to be mainly around the grill and front of the vehicle.
Vehicle was in four when drive low stopped and got out to open a gate heard a lou pop looked back it was rolling backwards went about 200 feet with a trailer hooked to it the trailer flipped around hit the side of the truck made another loud sound and it stopped. we are being told nothing is wrong with it. another time had it in low four when drive and it kept rolling in park. the vehicle was parked. and when we got to it the gear shift was still in park.
Kids locked in my truck, in my driveway after remote start. (reproducible) my kids got locked in my car a few weeks ago where the unlock button wasn't working, i thought it was a fluke until it happened to me again. i was getting ready to take my 15 year old son to school. i unlocked the car so he could put his stuff in, and shortly after i remote started the car. my older son was in the car at the time i remote started the car, while i continued to get my younger 4 year old ready in the house. when i came back to the car with my son, my hands were full and i asked my son to unlock the car. he pressed the unlock button and nothing happened, and the door remained locked with him inside. he could not unlock the car doors to get out! (i do have video of this and can reproduce the problem it at any time) let's understand the severity of this issue: what if he got sick in the car, or had to use the bathroom, or medical emergency? what if my son was eating breakfast and choked on something while i was inside for 5-10 minutes getting my younger son ready?

The truck has a constant vibration about 45 mph and increases with frequency as speed is increased as well. passenger seat shakes and can be felt through entire vehicle. tires have been replace multiple times with no correction.
The transmission hesitates when shifting in automatic but when in manual mode it shifts fine with no issues. this has been a on going issue and problem the service center for a local dealership can not find the issue. but there is something going on with the transmission.
Purchased new 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500 in january of 2016. experienced a vibration at all speeds from the very beginning of purchase. vibration gets worse at higher speeds. vehicle came with steel wheels from the factory. vibration can be felt in the seat and seen in the center console. vibration is coming from rear of vehicle. replaced wheels and tires with aftermarkets. the aftermarkets were bigger and heavier and made vibration extremely worse. after assuring that i wasn't dealing with a problem with the new wheels and tires, i put the factories back on and took the vehicle to dealership and reported the problem. the vehicle was in the shop for 3 1/2 months. the vehicle failed pico scope tests. they put several new tires on the vehicle, changed both rear axles, and changed ring and pinion in rear end. these steps helped reduce the vibration, but did not totally resolve the issue. they then decided to put aluminum wheels on the truck, which helped reduce the vibration down to barely noticeable. my concern is by putting the lighter wheel on the vehicle to reduce the vibration, they are only masking the problem, since the heavier the wheel/tire assembly, the worse the vibration. they are telling me they do not have to do anything else to the vehicle. general motors has told me they are not going to pursue the issue any further. they tell me they know there is an issue but not sure what it is and since it is not a safety issue they have honored the warranty. how do they know that it's not a safety issue if they don't know what the problem is. i believe they know exactly what the problem is and they are passing it on to the consumer. there was no disclosure of the issues with these trucks upon purchase. i do not feel safe in this truck and fear future problems with the issue. also, the truck on several occasions has down shifted abnormally causing rpms to rise.
It has a shake that is making me nauseous and sometimes feeling dizzy. very noticeable 65 ~ 75 mph since new
Truck shakes severely when driving at speeds above 70 mph on many different road types. this problem started not too long after i got my truck new. after complaining about it the service department said this is "standard 22 inch wheel vibration." after i had about 35000 miles on it the vibration got so bad i couldn't stand to drive on the freeway. took it back to the dealer and they said the tires were wore out even though there was still plenty of tread. had another shop look at it and they found one of the wheels was ever so slightly bent. took it back to the dealer to confirm. they sold me a new wheel, the problem didn't go away or change in any way. i bought new tires as they recommended, problem was still there but not so severe until after driving a few thousand miles. the more miles i put on the tires the worse the vibration gets. took it back into the dealer again recently, they keep telling me it's standard vibration for 22 inch wheels. i know this is bogus because i know a few people with the exact same wheels and tires that don't have the shaking problem, they can drive as fast as they want and it's smooth. everybody that rides with me asks what is wrong with my truck. how can i convince the dealer that there is an actual problem?
The truck has a constant vibration at highway speeds. two different dealers have verified the problem, gm field engineers verified there is an issue, and the engineer recommended the dealer change rear end parts, still no fix. two different dealers felt roadforce balancing the tires would help; it has not. the truck also makes a chirping noise when transitioning from 4 cylinders back to 8 cylinders.
I am concerned about the excessive shaking/vibration in this 2015 chevy silverado and, thus far, gm customer service and the dealership have no resolution in sight. the problem has been occuring at highway speeds (most notable above 73 mph) since the truck was purchased aug 2015. as they can't identify the cause of the problem, i can't be sure the origin is or is not a safety-reated concern. the dealership has balanced, re-balanced, rotated, and road pressure tested tires to no avail. even tried a new set of tires off of a 2016 model to no avail. as this matter continues and doesn't appear to be tire-related, i'm worried that the issue may be in the suspension and will, at some point, cause or create a catastrophic failure.
Drive shaft is out of balance causing it to shimmy on the highway, called gm several time no response to problem tokk back to kupper chevy in mandan nd they won't fix needs new drive shaft been complaining since 5000 mile now has 54000 and still will not fix
Ac condenser leaks
Combo 4 pin and 7 pin trailer connection is upside down. this may result in the loss of trailer lights and brakes. with connection upside down the 7 pin door will not hold plug in tightly and cause the brake and ground pins to possible disconnect. loosing brakes while pulling a heaving load is a serious safety issue. plug needs to be inverted to ensure the door latch holds the plug at the high point and weight of the cord holds the plug in tightly dealer is aware of the issue and gm engineer is aware of the issue.. neither has yet to fix. same design exists on 2013 and 2014 silverado's 1500, 2500 and 3500.
7 pin trailer conector is maufactures and install upside down on all silverado trucks since at least 2014 and possilbly 2013. the door holds the plug in; howerver the door flipping down the plug and bouce and become disconnected. this connextion plays a vital roleinlights and braking. both can and will be lost gm egineers are arware of the issue however are not fixingit
My truck had approximately 10 miles when i purchased it in dec 2014 and has been in the shop pretty much ever since. immediately after purchasing the vehicle, i felt a very substantial vibration around 76+ mph. initially, 2 tires were replaced and balanced; that did not correct the problem. then the dealership indicated that gm said i have to put 500lbs in the back of the truck and the vibration will stop; this is not even remotely practical. subsequently, the tires have been rotated and force balanced several times throughout the past 2 yrs. in june 2016, the dealership stated the problem was that the tires were mounted on the rims incorrectly and replaced all four tires and balanced them; the vibration continued. after trying to schedule another appointment with the dealership over the same issue, they will no longer call me back. i have attempted to schedule an appointment at least 8 times within the past month to no avail. several people have indicated the problem is quite possibly the drive shaft b/c the entire truck vibrates while driving down the road. therefore, i took my vehicle to another dealership where they told me i need to rotate and balance the tires. after discussing the history of the truck with them and requested the service dept. check the drive shaft, they stated the service manager said it is not the drive shaft (which was not inspected to my knowledge) and told me the tires need to be forced balanced and they could not help me. this dealership referred me to another dealership for assistance. i have been fighting this issue for almost 2 years now and cannot get help. further, neither of the dealerships have made me aware of the bulletin and have not tried anything past the replacing & balancing the tires. the vibration is so bad other things in my truck are starting to come loose and vibrate.
