| Feb 2021 | VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE | ABS (TRAILER BRAKING SYSTEM) AND STABITRAK WARNING LIGHTS RANDOMLY COME ON WHILE DRIVING AND REMAIN ON UNTIL VEHICLE TURNS OFF. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE REAR WHEELS HAVE LOCKED AND STEERING BECOMES DIFFICULT EVEN WHEN BRAKES ARE NOT BEING APPLIED. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AT VARYING SPEEDS AND IN VARYING WEATHER CONDITIONS. VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHECKED BY DEALER ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THIS AND SERVICE WAS REPORTED UNABLE ONCE LIGHTS HAVE GONE OFF. SAID INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 30-50 TIMES OVER THE PAST 18MONTHS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 49,550 |
| Feb 2021 | ENGINE | BULLETIN NO PI1513F DESCRIBES AN ISSUE WITH CHEVY SILVERADOS (AMONGST OTHER MODELS) AND THE RADIATORS LEAKING DUE TO OVER CYCLING OF THE THERMOSTAT. I HAVE A 2018 THAT IS BARELY 2 YEARS OLD, AND A LEAKING RADIATOR! GM IS DOING NOTHING TO OWN UP TO THIS ISSUE, AND THEY ARE EXPECTING ME TO PAY THE ENTIRETY FOR A REPLACEMENT, AND I DON'T EVEN HAVE CONFIDENCE IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS BULLETIN SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER ALL YEARS UNTIL GM PROVES THEY HAVE A SOLUTION IN PLACE. IT IS COMPLETELY UNETHICAL FOR GM TO NOT ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND EXPECT ME TO PUT THIS MUCH MONEY INTO A BRAND NEW TRUCK. I SLOWLY BEGAN TO NOTICE THE COOLANT RESERVOIR GOING DOWN. I EVENTUALLY BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP (TWICE), AND ON THE SECOND VISIT THEY FOUND THE LEAK, ALTHOUGH MILEAGE WAS OVER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY DURING THE SECOND VISIT. IT IS A VERY SLOW LEAK. | Crash: No Fire: No | 38,000 |
| Feb 2021 | POWER TRAIN | WHEN I PLACE THE TRUCK IN DRIVE IN THE MORNING OR AFTER THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SITTING FOR MORE THAN A FEW HOURS, THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES HARD, LURCHING THE TRUCK BODY FOWARD. THE DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM, BUT SAID THERE IS NO FIX. | Crash: No Fire: No | 18,411 |
| Feb 2021 | POWER TRAIN | WHEN I DRIVE I GET A HARD SHIFT/SLIPPING WHEN TAKING OFF AND I GET A HARD DOWNSHIFT WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY FIX IT, RETURN IT, AND SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND AM SITTING FOR A WHILE THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO SHAKE OUT OF NOWHERE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 3,000 |
| Feb 2021 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING | WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH ALL ELECTRONICS SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON MOMENTS LATER. THIS INCLUDES THE GAUGES, RADIO AND ALL LIGHTS INCLUDING HEADLIGHTS. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I PURCHASED THE TRUCK FROM. THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A LOW VOLTAGE BATTERY AND THEIR SOLUTION WAS TO CHARGE THE BATTERY AND RETEST THE SYSTEMS. HOWEVER THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHY IT WAS LOW. THE SERVICE MANAGER WOULD NOT LOOK INTO FURTHER TESTING TO CHECK THE ISSUE AS THEY HAD MET ALL THE NECESSARY STEPS LAYED OUT BY GM UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. HE HAD TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO DO FURTHER TESTING ON WHY THE BATTERY HAD A LOW VOLTAGE CONDITION IF I WERE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THE COSTS EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS STILL UNDER BUMPER BUMPER WARRENTY. THE SERVICE MANAGER ALSO BLAMMED THE COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS AS IT IS CURRENTLY IN THE LOW 20'S OUTSIDE. I HAVE ISSUE WITH THIS DIAGNOSIS DUE TO ME DRIVING 60 MILES A DAY FOR WORK AND ANOTHER 30 MILES TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE BATTERY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AMPLY CHARGED IN THAT TIME FOR THEIR TESTING. ALSO THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY WITH A NEW ONE 8 MONTHS PRIOR WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE TRUCK. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AS THE HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF WITHOUT WARNING DUE TO A LOW BATTERY AND THERE HAS BEEN NO PROPER DIAGNOSIS OF WHY THERE IS A LOW BATTERY CONDITION. | Crash: No Fire: No | 35,180 |

THE BRAKES STOP WORKING AND THE TRUCK MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF DRIVE. CHEVY HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON SILVERADO TRUCKS 2014-2018 EQUIPPED WITH 5.3L MOTORS THE RECALL NUMBER IS 20V603000. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY BRAKE ASSIST IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY 2018 SILVERADO (5.3L) BOMNIN CHEVROLET DADELAND AND CHEVY IS TELLING ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T QUALIFY ME FOR THE RECALL, YET MY TRUCK DESCRIPTION AND BRAKE PROBLEM, BOTH MATCH THE RECALL PERFECT.

IT IS HARD TO DO THIS SAFELY WHILE DRIVING. THE MESSAGE DOES NOT TIME OUT AND COVERS THE ENTIRE SCREEN. THERE MUST DE A WAY TO DISABLE THIS OR TO HAVE IT TIME OUT. IT IS IRONIC THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. I HAVE TRIED THE BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL THAT DISMISSES OTHER MESSAGES AND IT DOES NOT WORK FOR THAT ONE. THIS SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE FIXED EASILY WITH A SOFTWARE UPDATE. | Crash: No Fire: No | 31,000 |

HAD TO GET IT REPLACED PAID $150 FOR THE PART AND THAN LABOR ANOTHER $150. TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES AND THE WATER PUMP ALREADY BREAKING DOWN. NEW VEHICLES ARE NOW DESIGNED TO BREAK ON YOU EASILY SO US CUSTOMERS SPEND MORE ON PARTS AND LABOR. | Crash: No Fire: No | 30,000 |

TODAY 11/19/2020 I HAD THE CRUISE CONTROL SET AT 70 MPH, AND ONCE IT STARTED LUGGING DOWN IT DOWNSHIFTED AND TOOK OFF LIKE THE ENGINE KEPT RUNNING WILD. I TAPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO CANCEL THE CRUSE CONTROL, THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT IN CANCELING THE CRUSE THIS VEHICLE JUST KEPT RUNNING WILD. I EVEN PUSHED THE MAIN CRUISE POWER BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL FOE WHAT SEEMED LIKE AN ETERNITY, STILL RUN AS IF IT WAS POSSESSED. AFTER ABOUT 45 SECONDS, AND JUST AS I MADE UP MY MIND THAT I HAD TO KILL THE IGNITION SWITCH, IT CALMED BACK DOWN TO THE NORMAL HARSH SHIFT, BUT DIDN'T RUN WILD. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE RPM'S GAUGE IS NOT STEADY, AND MOVES RADICALLY I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER IN THE PAST WITH MY CONCERNS OF A HARSH SHIFT ISSUE, AS WELL AS THE SHUTTERING AND LUGING DOWN ON THE HILLS, AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES WITH THEIR TRANSMISSION. THESE TRUCKS NEED TO BE LOOKED AT VERY CLOSELY BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT ON THE 5 OF DECEMBER 2020, AND YOU WOULD THINK WITH THE SAFETY FACTOR OF MY CONCERNS, THAT THEY WOULD TRY GETTING ME IN SOONER, RATHER THEN PUT ME OFF OVER TWO WEEKS. | Crash: No Fire: No | 28,000 |
