  FIRST AND FOREMOST, I'D LIKE TO SAY THAT I'VE BEEN COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH MY VEHICLE UP UNTIL RECENTLY. A LITTLE OF THREE YEARS AGO, I DECIDED TO GIVE UP MY DODGE AND SWITCH OVER TO CHEVY. I LIKED WHAT THEY HAD TO OFFER IN THE 2015 SILVERADO. LONG STORY SHORT, A FEW MONTHS OUT OF WARRANTY, MY AC STOPPED BLOWING COLD AIR ALL OF A SUDDEN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND FOUND OUT THAT MY CONDENSER HAD A LEAK. I THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS ODD DUE TO THE FACT THAT I BARELY DRIVE THE TRUCK, LITERALLY. IT ONLY HAS ABOUT 28,600MILES ON IT IN ABOUT 40 MONTHS. WITH THAT SAID, I PROCEEDED TO DO A LITTLE RESEARCH. MY FINDINGS WERE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ALL TO COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS SINCE THE 2014 DESIGN. IS THERE ANYWAY TO GET SOMEONE WITHIN GM TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY SOME TYPE OF FLAW OR DEFECT IN EQUIPMENT DUE TO POOR CRAFTSMANSHIP? YOU MAY SAY THAT I SHOULD'VE PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND ALL BUT I FEEL LIKE A COMPONENT SUCH AS A CONDENSER SHOULDN'T BE DEFECTIVE SO SOON EITHER, ESPECIALLY ON A LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE THAT'S BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY. EVEN IF GM ISN'T WILLING TO HELP ME, I'D BE HAPPY WITH THEM FIXING THE PROBLEM FOR FUTURE CONSUMERS SO THAT THEY DON'T BECOME A "VICTIM" LIKE I HAVE. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN A BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND SOME OTHERS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS OR ANYTHING. WHILE SEARCHING ONLINE, I FOUND A "SPECIAL COVERAGE/PROGRAM" NUMBER (17336). IT WAS ALSO ALONG WITH NHTSA ID 10135138.

  I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON A TYPICAL WINTER DAY IN MICHIGAN. THE REAR DEFROSTER WAS ON TO MELT SOME SNOW/ICE ON THE REAR WINDOW. AFTER BEING QUIET/NORMAL, SUDDENLY A LOUD HISSING/SIZZLING SOUND WAS COMING FROM THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER, LASTED LESS THAN A MINUTE BEFORE I WAS SMELLING SOMETHING BURNING. THE DEFROSTER CIRCUIT THEN FRIED IN A LARGE PUFF OF SMOKE WITH A SUBSTANTIAL "POP" SOUND. AFTER A BRIEF DELAY OF JUST A FEW SECONDS, THE REAR WINDOW GLASS EXPLODED/SHATTERED. THIS IS AFTER A KNOWN RECALL WAS ISSUED BY GM FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. I HAD THE ISSUE ADDRESSED AT MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP IN AUGUST. IN THEIR SERVICE REPORT, IT SAID "INSPECTED REAR SLIDING WINDOW TERMINALS AND COVERS FOR DAMAGE. INSTALL REVISED TERMINAL COVER. ALSO INSTALL NEW DESIGN BUSS BAR COVERS. OK NO HEAT DAMAGE FOUND." AGAIN, MY PROBLEM OCCURRED *AFTER* MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ALLEGEDLY ADDRESSED THIS KNOWN PROBLEM AND ALREADY-ISSUED RECALL. I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING WHETHER OR NOT THE REPAIRS/INSPECTION THEY CLAIMED THEY DID ACTUALLY HAPPENED. IF THEY DID, CLEARLY THEY DID NOT REMEDY THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM. I AM NOW TRYING TO GET INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE REAR WINDOW. AT MINIMUM, THEY'VE SAID IT COULD TAKE TWO DAYS TO GET THE REPLACEMENT WINDOW.

  When driving home from work one day driving at low speed (Below 15mph) the brake pedal would not go down it seemed like no matter how hard I pushed the brake pedal would not move much. This caused me to run a stop sign once the truck slowed down enough and brakes were literally being pressed as hard as possible you could hear the front brakes grinding really bad and the truck still did not want to stop. I had to call a wrecker service to tow my truck to a local mechanic shop. Upon further investigation and 625 dollars later it was determined the vacuum pump failed. After replacing the pump no further issues so far.

  I was backing out of an inclined driveway and when I applied the brakes, I had a hard brake pedal situation and I was not able to stop the truck until it rolled into the street. Thank goodness no car was behind me or coming down the street. I parked the vehicle and will not drive until I get to the dealer to look at. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was fill to appropriate level. Prior to this, 5 or 6 times, while driving, my stability control and ABS light came on but went off. Also, now that I think about it, those lights came on when the road was really pitched to one side or when I pulled into a elevated parking space.

  The transmission has failed in less than 150,000 miles. I was driving in traffic and lost gears. I stopped and tried to get back going and I was stuck being a traffic hazard to the other motorist. I talked to a local transmission shop and he stated that the 2014-2016 Silverados are known for transmission problems even when they were new. He’s rebuilt hundreds of them and Chevrolet should have recalled and fixed them. There were no warning lights or anything through the truck.

  TRUCK WITH JUST UNDER 34,000 MILES WOULD NOT DISENGAGE FROM FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF WITH THE TRANSFER CASE SELECTOR IN AUTOMATIC FOUR WHEEL DRIVE. AFTER IT WAS TURNED OFF AND BEFORE IT WAS RESTARTED, THE TRANSFER CASE WENT INTO FULL TIME FOUR WHEEL DRIVE, THE TRUCK HAD AN AUDIBLE NOISE FROM TRANSFER CASE WHEN IT WAS IN MOTION AND THE TRANSFER CASE WOULD NOT CHANGE WHEN MOVING THE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SELECTOR SWITCH. CONDITION CAUSED DRIVE-ABILITY PROBLEMS. THE CORRECTION WAS TO REPROGRAM AND SET-UP THE TRANSFER CASE MODULE WHICH WAS NOT COVERED BY CHEVROLET EVEN AFTER THE SERVICING DEALER ASKED THEM FOR ASSISTANCE. SINCE THERE WAS AN AVAILABLE FIX OFFERED BY GM WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE, SOFTWARE PROGRAMS DO NOT CHANGE WITHOUT INTERVENTION AND THE CONDITION RESULTS IN DRIVE-ABILITY CONCERNS, I BELIEVE THESE VEHICLES SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PRO-ACTIVELY PREVENT THE ISSUE EXPERIENCED AND NOT WAIT UNTIL THE CONSUMER HAS AN ISSUE AND THEN HAVE THE CUSTOMER PAY FOR THE REPAIR.

  I was driving on a busy street with a speed limit of around 45 mph and my torque converter failed causing my transmission to fail and my truck to become disabled in the middle of a busy road. It blocked traffic causing a potential danger to surrounding motorists and required assistance to be moved to a nearby parkin lot and later to be towed to the Chevrolet Dealership. The dealership confirmed that the transmission had failed. I subsequently took it to a specialist transmission shop that dismantled it an indicated that the torque converter had failed (a known problem with this year and model transmission) and that the failure had led to catastrophic damage to the transmission. There were no warning signs other than a couple of hard shifts just prior to failure. I was lucky that this occurred on a dry level street and not on a narrow mountain pass while pulling a trailer where the results could have been much different.

  After years of driving like a grandma, my transmission unexpectedly failed while travelling down the freeway at 70mph. There were no warning signs, no vibrations, and I changed my transmission fluid at the dealer-recommended intervals. Huge bummer, really. I use my truck for work, and because of the time of year, it is unlikely that I'll be able to get it repaired for a few weeks. Certainly not going to help my bank account either, since a new transmission from Chevrolet is $4,800 before labor and other parts.

• 12/17/2025· SERVICE BRAKES

  I am the original owner of a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500. The vehicle's brake vacuum pump has failed, resulting in a sudden, significant loss of power braking assist. This requires excessive pedal force to stop the vehicle, creating an immediate safety hazard and increasing the risk of a crash. General Motors previously issued special coverage adjustment N192210240 ( or N182202780 ) to address this specific component failure, extending warranty coverage to 10 years or 150,000 miles. I never received notification of this coverage or the potential safety defect. The dealership has confirmed the vacuum pump failure but denied coverage because the 10- year window has recently expired. I contacted GM Corporate on 12/16/2025 and 12/17/ 2025 they declined GoodWill Assistance. I believe it is unreasonable to deny coverage for a know safety defect on a vehicle owned by the original purchaser who was never properly notified of the extension on N182202780.

  First off the truck my father and I purchased was a brand new LT 1500 model with v6 engine and 4 wheel drive from Bill Defouw Chevrolet Lafayette, IN In 2020 I contacted the sheriff's department because the vehicle we had purchased had been stolen and switched out with another truck that had a non matching stamped vin on the frame underneath and nothing else matched with photos of proof did not match either. I gave the photos to the authorities to observe and they handed them back to me and laughed at me. The truck that was left with me that the thieves tried to make me believe was my truck was a salvage flood vehicle with the strong smell of mold and mildew and tires that didn't match and other areas on the truck that did not match our brand new truck we purchased that had never been altered except for adding a bed liner. I have tons of photos showing the unmatched stamped vin and photos throughout the years of ownership that I've been trying to get help with before someone gets hurt. When they wouldn't help me and continuously told me it was my truck in my possession even though I showed the proof I literally was brainwashed into believing what they were saying and I traded the truck in. When I finally realized that my gut instinct and proof was enough I contacted the dealership and took photos in where we purchased the truck to show them the differences and they agreed with me and told me to contact the police again. So I did and got the same results. Therefore there are two trucks out there possibly more that have been vin swapped and vehicle swapped from victims driveways, or work, or garage etc. I can submit my photos of proof immediately. They got my other vehicles too including my motorcycle I never got to ride because I noticed it a couple days after purchase. This crime is heavy and victims don't even know it's happened due to cloning.

  My 2015 Silverado frame has rusted through badly. It's available for inspection. I currently have 74,000 miles on it. My GM dealer said the rust is so bad that I shouldn't pull anything and if I had an accident the frame would fold like an accordion. It is unsafe to drive. If the frame were to break when I'm driving, it could cause an accident with someone else. No one else has inspected it. I purchased it December 2014. I noticed a rust problem soon after. I took it to my GM dealer, and they said there is a bulletin No. P10564K, to fix it. I also attached the service invoice. The fix didn't last a year and I was back at the dealer. They did it again and for several years, until they couldn't because of lack of workers, due to covid. They said they would call when available, but never did. I took it in for service last month and that's when the dealer said I needed a new frame because it had rusted through, and it was rusted bad elsewhere. There is actually a hole rusted through. I've attached photos. The dealer said he has never seen it so bad in my year truck. I contacted GM and they said it was due to road salt and not covered. I've owned around eight GM trucks and cars, and I've never had a problem like this to a frame. There are many complaints about this online. One person said "The Chevy Silverado frame recall was issued due to the frame missing an anti-rust component in the metal that should have been included when the vehicle was made. The frames on them are known to rust excessively and can cause damage to the other components and make the frames weaker." I think GM should be forced to issue a recall on these frames. I can't afford to buy another truck and it's the only vehicle I have. Thank you.
