  AC condenser leak, no cold air blowing. Only 82,539 miles. I took my truck to Chevy and was told about the issue and the cost amount to replace. I asked if that’s under warranty or recall. Chevy dealer told me no. Because there haven’t been too many complaints about it, so it’s not yet a recall. Then the service person then proceed to tell me the repair cost amount which was around $1100. And I was also told that Chevy now has a better AC condenser part to replace the defective ones. This obviously upsets me because this truck has been nothing but problems for me. I took my truck to a mechanic shop and had the AC condenser replaced for way less than what Smith Chevrolet of Turlock CA quoted me on cost. My mechanic showed me the defective part and where it’s leaking at. The AC condenser is built poorly. Plastic parts attached to the side of the condenser cracks easily as I was told, causing it to leak freon.

  Vehicle only has 86,000 miles. Brake vacuum pump issue has failed and almost caused an accident or even death. I took my tuck at an easy trail in Big Sur CA. Brakes wasn’t working properly. I feared it would completely fail and cause us to fall off the cliff. Fortunately we got off that trail, but as we continued to drive on highway 1 the brakes would not stop the vehicle as it should. The truck would still move forward or even in reverse with the brakes pressed down. Brake pedal was hard to press and would get stuck. There were no warning lamps on to alert me. This issue has been going on for about a year and has finally given out. The vehicle has been inspected and brake vacuum pump replaced by Smith Chevrolet in Turlock CA. I was told by the service person that Chevy has a 150,000 mile warranty on the brake vacuum pump part only so mine was covered. After inspection I was told that the brake vacuum pump had no fluids at all. Vacuum pump is defective.

  Radiator leak, coolant fully drained out, truck overheated. Approximately 86,000 + miles. I recently replaced the AC condenser back in [XXX]. Which I submitted a complaint form also. Reference below. Request #[XXX] Complaint number [XXX] Then in [XXX] I had the radiator replaced. This was due to a leak that caused all coolant to drain. The engine overheated because of the radiator leak. I was on the freeway when this happened. I ended up taking my truck to be inspected at a mechanic shop. I was then showed the issue of the leak. The radiator is poorly designed and is a similar issue to the AC condenser I had just replaced. The sides of the radiator is made of plastic which cracks or warp causing it to leak. I took pictures of the defective radiator after it was taken out. I decided not to go to a Chevy dealership, simply because of the higher cost.

  The rear window with power slider blew out when I shut my truck door. I read online that there is a recall for many other models similar to my vehicle but for some reason mine wasn't included. The window itself is over a thousand dollars just for the part; I'd appreciate some help in getting this to include my vehicle as well because it is directly inline with recalls for very similar models.

  THIS COMPLAINT DEALS WITH THE BRAKE RECALL COMING FROM GM. I DID TAKE THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPROGRAMMED. I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE SYSTEM. WHILE IN PARKING LOT GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT PLACED THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND DURING THE PROCESS OF PULLING BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL IT WAS VERY STIFF, IT ACTUALLY SEEMED AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHING BACK AT MY FOOT AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP WHEN IT WAS EXPECTED TO. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO CAR IN THE SPACE IN FRONT OF ME ALLOWING FOR THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS. THIS AT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 73,500 MILES. I DID NOTIFY THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE VACUUM BRAKE PUMP FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, IF CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.

  2017 Silverado with 6L80, 59k miles - transmission failure due to TCC failure. Rough shifting, coming out of gear, shuttering when accelerating. Truck started to whine loudly when it was promptly taken to the dealership. Dealership dropped the pan and used magnet. Visible metal was in the transmission pan. There were no indicator lights on the dash from this issue. Requested goodwill warranty, gm replied they would cover 20% or $7k so I am stuck to pay $5k for a known issue. The replacement transmission is not new that they are offering, it is "certified refurbished" where they use the old casing with new internals. They are providing a 3yr/100k miles warranty on the new transmission. Deciding factors from GM were age, miles, service at dealership. Incredibly unsatisfied that GM is standing behind their vehicles not lasting 60k miles.

  I was in a drive thru yesterday and couldn’t stop. I was traveling less than 5 mph, and the brake pedal was extremely stiff, I had to pump the brakes several times in order to stop the truck. At one point I had to place the truck in park in order to keep the truck from moving because the brake pedal wouldn’t hold the truck still. It happened a few more times on my way home in slow traffic. I almost crashed once.

  While driving on the interstate the truck started jerking and vibrating, started slowing down, while in the fast lane, then a loud whining sound started, finally making over 3 lanes of traffic doing approximately 40mph got stopped on the shoulder. No warning lights or anything came on. Sat there not knowing what happened so I proceeded onto the freeway and it started lunging & squealing again, got off the next exit to find out it was probably the torque converter or transmission, so here I sit in Virginia & I live in Arizona stranded. And trying to figure out how to pay a $6000 to $8000 repair bill and to find out this is a common problem with GM transmissions

  Before leaving the house, it sounded like a static noise was coming from the speakers. I turned the radio off and the noise was still there. I get out of the truck to check the back seat area (where the noise was coming from). I put my ear near the window and it almost sounded like a can of something was being sprayed. It was weird, because nothing was in the back of the cab. Anyway, I thought "that's weird" and drove off, not giving it much thought. As I was walking to the truck at Sam's Club, I hit the automatic start. While loading the groceries in the truck, the noise now sounded like a sizzling, snapping sound. Then, I noticed few snowflakes landing near the back window were causing that sound. Again, I thought "that is so weird"!! I put the cart back, got in the truck and started it. At that point, it smelled like something was burning. I jumped out and opened the back door to get a closer look. While trying to figure out what was going on, smoke started coming up from both sides of the back windshield. I ran to the front to take the keys out of the ignition and then the window exploded!! I was so scared to start the truck again, wondering what else was about to happen. Thankfully, I was able to get it home with no other issues. It's now at the dealership getting looked at. They mentioned no recalls, but a quick google search shows that this is clearly an issue!! In 2019, Canada actually recalled over 159,000 vehicles over the high potential of catching on fire!!! After learning this, I'm so happy it didn't actually catch on fire!!

  I PICKED UP MY TRUCK FROM THE DEALERSHIP AFTER REPAIRS DUE TO AN IMPACT WITH A DEER. THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR THREE WEEKS. AFTER TRAVELING LESS THAN THREE (3) MILES, FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY/ISSUE WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND STOPPING. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT BUT HAD TO PARK THE TRUCK AND HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I KNOW THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS PART FOR THE CHEVY SILVERADO BUT MY VIN SHOWS NO RECALL SO I AM REPORTING THIS ISSUE FOR MY VIN AND HOPEFULLY THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP ANOTHER TRUCK OWNER AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. IN THE EVENT THE RECALL IS EXPANDED TO OUR SILVERADO MODEL WE WOULD REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE EXPENSE TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY TO REPORT THIS ISSUE AND THEY ARE GOING TO FOLLOW UP WITH ME REGARDING THE MATTER.

  MY 2017 (1500) SILVERADO LTZ RUNS ROUGH WHEN EVER THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. IT EVEN RUN ROUGH WHEN IT'S PARKED AND NOT MOVING. THE SHIFTING IS ROUGH AS WELL. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT, A STOP SIGN OR JUST AT A COMPLETE STOP, I HAVE TO TAKE OFF FAST BECAUSE IF I TAKE OFF SLOWLY, MY TRUCK WILL JERK INCREDIBLY HARD. I TURNED ON MY TRUCK ONE MORNING AND IT JUST WAS SHAKING SO BAD AND OUT OF CONTROL. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO GET A DIAGNOSIS DONE AND I HAVE 3 BAD FUEL INJECTORS. THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME ABOUT $1400 FOR THE REPAIRS, NOT HAPPENING. GM HAS ISSUED FREE REPAIRS FOR THESE INJECTORS SINCE THEY'RE A COMMON PROBLEM WITHIN THESE TRUCKS BUT THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWING THE FREE REPAIRS DONE IN 13 STATES AND MY STATE, (IDAHO) IS NOT ONE OF THEM. IT'S A 4 YEAR OLD TRUCK WITH ONLY 43,000 MILES ON IT. I SHOULDN'T HAVE A REPAIR THAT'S OVER $1,000 DOLLARS. THAT DOESN'T SIT RIGHT WITH ME AND IT WOULDN'T SIT RIGHT WITH YOU IF YOU WERE IN MY SHOES. IM AFRAID I'LL BE STRANDED OUT ON THE ROAD WITH A FAIRLY PERFECTLY NEW, LOW MILEAGE TRUCK. THIS IS NOT A OWNERS PROBLEM, IT'S A GM PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE COVERED BY THEM, NOT BY THE OWNERS.

He had us check a few things to see if it was a number of thing. He said it was the brakes vacuum pump. He had one in the shop for the same thing. You can't get in to a Chevrolet dealer to have it fixed in the time that we had. My husband did fix it but was extremely scared to drive in South Florida with limited to no brakes.
