Problems with 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500. the contact stated that while driving approximately 40 mph, a smell of plastic burning started. smoke emerged from the bus bar located at the bottom of the sliding rear window. the smoke stopped when the vehicle was turned off. the vehicle was driven to the dealer century chevrolet, 6105 west 120th avenue, broomfield, co 80020, they determined that the rear window defroster failed and needed replacement. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 80,914.

While in motion, especially in slow turns, the vehicle completely shuts down. power steering goes and battery completely drained. when problem is occurring dashboard lights are affected. dashboard lights light up and go blank. truck will not start unless jumpstarted. this has happened multiple times since summer of 2019. contacted banks chevrolet and concord new hampshire and they said they are not aware of any known problems. contacted banks chevrolet in concord new hampshire and they said they are not aware of any known problems, although recalls for this same issue are present in other 2015 chevrolet silverados.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500. while driving at any speed, the power lock on the front passenger door did not lock automatically. there was no warning indicator illuminated. the contact called serra chevrolet at 330-644-7500 (located at 3281 s arlington rd, akron, oh 44312) and was informed that there was no recall. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was approximately 41,000. *bf *tr

Headlights flickering when on. while in motion my stabilitrack light illuminates along with the seatbelt light. when using the turn signal the radio display goes out for about a second and turns back on. when braking the radio display goes off for a second. i get a low battery signal maybe 2 or 3 times a week, i drive my truck daily. it has 76k miles. i lose power steering after about 150 mile drive. its been happening for about 3-4 months. 4/22/2019 was the worst. all of it happened yesterday on a 175 mile drive

While driving slow and making a hard left turn everything flashes off 0n dash ,then on, on dash,but engine shuts off causing steering and braking safety concerns,this has happened three times in last two week took it to dealership they couldn't

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.

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.

Takada recall. while traveling approx 70 mph appling brakes or turn signal information screen momentarily flashes blank, enine hesitates and seat belt warning sounds

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

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.

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.

I was on a city road driving at 45 mph about 5 minutes after i used the factory remote start. smoke started pouring from behind the rear seat and then one of the back windows shattered. this is a widely reported issue and there should be a recall for it.
