PURCHASED BRAND NEW CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 IN 2016, NOTICED SIGNIFICANT SHAKING OF VEHICLE 11 MONTHS INTO OWNING. THIS VEHICLE IS SOLELY USED FOR A DAILY TO AND FROM OFFICE JOB COMMUTE, CONSUMING APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES A DAY, MOSTLY HIGHWAY. THE VEHICLE UPON REACHING 70 MPH SHAKES TERRIBLY, ENOUGH TO SHAKE MY COFFE OUT OF THE CUP. AT THE SAME TIME I ALSO BEGAN TO NOTICE THE QUICK WEARING AND FEATHERING/WARPING OF MY TIRES ON THE INSIDE TREAD AREA. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED NEW TIRES, MIND YOU AT UNDER 19,000 MILES AND THE SHAKING "SHOULD" STOP. HAD THE TIRES REPLACED ALONG WITH AN ALIGNMENT AND THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN CONSISTENT WITH GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND. SPOKE WITH SEVERAL SILVERADO OWNERS WHOM HAVE THE ISSUES, SOME EARLIER IN OWNERSHIP WHILE OTHERS SOMETIME LATER. APPARENTLY THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN GIVEN A NAME "CHEVY SHAKES". SEARCHED ON LINE FOR THIS ISSUE AND SURPRISINGLY THE PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED/DISCUSSED. I'M GETTING THE PERCEPTION THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND CHEVY IS DOING THEIR BEST TO COVER IT UP. FILING THIS COMPLAINT TO GO ALONG WITH THE OTHERS. HOPEFULLY THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED WITH A PREVENTIVE MINDSET RATHER THAN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. IT'S TIME FOR A RECALL!

IN FOR SERVICE AND DID NOTHING. WAS STATED THAT THEY WERE 100,000 MILES TIRES.... ALL TIRES CUPPED AND WORN TO 40% AND TRUCK ONLY HAD 24,000 MILES. CALLED DEALER TO HAVE ISSUE ADDRESSED MULTIPLE TIMES - THEY BLAMED THE OWNERS. WE DRIVE BACK AND FORTH TO WORK (MAINLY HIGHWAY), KEEP IT CLEAN... MAINTAIN IT TO PERFECTION AND NO OFF ROAD DRIVING OF ANY SORT. NO WAY THIS IS AN OWNER-INDUCED ISSUE. LEAF SPRINGS NEED TO BE RECALLED.... ALONG WITH THE GOODYEAR TIRES PROVIDED BY FACTORY. HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH GENERAL MOTORS AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE ISSUES FIXED THROUGH DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY GM WILL NOT PAY THEM SO THEY CANNOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER REMEDIES. NO TIRE FIX, AND ONLY TEMPORARY ONE WEEK 'MASKING FIX' FOR THE LEAF SPRING ISSUE.
FROM SPEEDS OF 60 TO 80 MILE PER HOUR THERE IS AN INCONSISTENT VIBRATION OR SHAKE FELT IN THE WHOLE TRUCK.

REAR LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, LEAF SPRING BUSHINGS AND HARDWARE PREMATURE FAILURE. POSSIBLE LEAF SPRING AND OR FRAME MOUNT INADEQUATELY DESIGNED. REAR LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, SPECIFICALLY THE BUSHINGS AND MOUNTING HARDWARE FAILED ON ONE SET OF LEAF SPRINGS, AND IS IN THE PROCESS OF FAILING ON A SECOND REPLACEMENT SET, RESULTING IN UNDESIRABLE BIND/WOBBLE SOUNDS AND HOLLOW THUMP NOISE FELT INSIDE THE CABIN (NOISE SIMILAR TO A LOOSE SPARE TIRE WOBBLING AND STRIKING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK BED). THE PROBLEM IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT LOW SPEEDS BOTH IN REVERSE AND FORWARD. THE MORE MILES ON THE VEHICLE, THE LOUDER AND MORE FREQUENT THE ISSUE BECOMES. THE CONCERN IS OF PREMATURE PART FAILURE OR BREAKAGE RESULTING IN INJURY. THE ORIGINAL SET OF GM LEAF SPRINGS THAT WERE INSTALLED AT THE GM FACTORY WERE MANUFACTURED IN CANADA AND FAILED AROUND 15,000 MILES. GM REPLACEMENT LEAF SPRINGS INSTALLED WERE MADE IN MEXICO AND ARE FAILING AT ABOUT 15,000 MILES. THE TOTAL MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE AS OF 5/30/2017 IS ABOUT 30,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE IS WELL CARED FOR AND IS ALWAYS SERVICED AT THE GM DEALERSHIP AT MANUFACTURER'S RECOMMENDED INTERVALS. MOSTLY HIGHWAY MILES. PRIMARILY DAILY COMMUTER VEHICLE TO AND FROM A DESK JOB. NO HAULING OR LOADS IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THE MANUFACTURER/DEALERS ISSUED TSB'S RECOMMENDING TO PRESSURE WASH THE LEAF SPRING ASSEMBLY, CHECK SUSPENSION HARDWARE TORQUE SPECS, AND DISASSEMBLE, LUBE AND RE-ASSEMBLE THE LEAF SPRING PACK. THESE HAVE BEEN PERFORMED BY A GM DEALER AND DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. REPLACING THE SPRINGS HAS NOT PERMANENTLY RESOLVED THE ISSUE. GM TRUCK FORUMS INDICATE OTHER OWNERS OF THIS MODEL AND YEAR+/- REPORT THE SIMILAR EXPERIENCES IN THE CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AND SIERRA MODEL GM PICKUPS. SOME OWNERS HAVE REPLACED FACTORY PARTS WITH AFTERMARKET LEAF SPRINGS WITH SUCCESS IN PERMANANTLY RESOLVING THE ISSUE AND CONCERN.

1PE18012 · Brake Vacuum Pump Failure
Opened Nov 20, 2018 · Closed Apr 10, 2022
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Service Brakes; Service Brakes, Hydraulic; Service Brakes, Hydraulic:power Assist:vacuum
On November 20, 2018, the Office of Defects Investigations (ODI) opened PE18-012 to investigate instances of sudden onset of a hard brake pedal that could result in extended stopping distance due to an issue with the brake assist vacuum pump in model year (MY) 2014 through 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 series pickup trucks and MY 2015 through 2016 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon SUVs.If the brake assist vacuum pump fails to operate as intended, the amount of brake power assist supplied to the driver can be significantly reduced, extending the subject vehicle stopping distance. GM stated that the root cause of pump failures was due to foreign debris such as oil sludge in the engine oil. GM stated that this debris can become trapped by the oil inlet filter screen. Under normal operation, this screen allows a small amount of oil into the brake vacuum pump. The foreign debris can, over time, clog the pump which can cause a loss of lubrication and a reduction in the amount of vacuum produced leading to a hard pedal and extended stopping distance.On December 13, 2018, GM issued a Special Coverage (N182202780) for the brake vacuum pump issue in MY 2014-2017 trucks and 2015-2017 SUVs on the K2XX platform for 6 years or 72,000 miles. Special Coverage repair includes the replacement of the vacuum pump and vacuum pump belt. Consumers received notification of the coverage via mail. On September 6, 2019, GM notified NHTSA that it was conducting safety recall 19V-645 which reprograms the electronic brake control module (EBCM) and included approximately 3.5 million trucks and SUVs. In October 2019, GM extended the terms of special coverage N182202780 to 10 years or 150,000 miles as well as now including the entire scope of recall 19V-645. In October 2020, GM expanded the scope of coverage N182202780 to include the MY 2018 Escalade and 2019 Tahoe.The remedy implemented in GM recall 19V-645 appears to be sufficient in addressing the safety-related concerns of this issue. Loss of vacuum assist now occurs at a progressive rate as well as there being a more timely warning of a brake problem to the driver through the driver information center (DIC). In view of the recall action and revision to the special coverage, this Preliminary Evaluation is closed. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances. The ODI reports cited above are available for review online at NHTSA.gov under the identification numbers in the attached document.
