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.
REAR GLASS SHATTERED WITH DEFROST ON. PRIOR TO SHATTERING I COULD SMELL SOMETHING BURNING. I WAS PARKED IN A FAST FOOD DRIVE THROUGH WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I HAD PREVIOUSLY USED THE REMOTE START TO START THE CAR.
WHILE DRIVING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNING RIGHT ALL POWER COMPLETELY QUIT, I WAS STUCK WITH PART OF MY TRUCK IN THE ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS NOTHING, VERY SCARY CARS COMING MY WAY COULDN'T SEE ME AND WERE HONKING WHEN THEY DID. SPEED LIMIT ON ROAD IS 45MPH AND MANY CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME…

WHILE DRIVING INTO MY DRIVEWAY TURNING RIGHT ALL POWER COMPLETELY QUIT, I WAS STUCK WITH PART OF MY TRUCK IN THE ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS NOTHING, VERY SCARY CARS COMING MY WAY COULDN'T SEE ME AND WERE HONKING WHEN THEY DID. SPEED LIMIT ON ROAD IS 45MPH AND MANY CAME VERY CLOSE TO HITTING ME. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW. FIRST TIME MY POWER CAME BACK ON AND I STARTED BACK UP. THIS TIME I CALLED WRECKER AND BY THE TIME HE ARRIVED I HAD GOTTEN HELP TO PUSH ME OFF THE ROAD. FOR SOME ODD REASON THE TRUCK RESUMED POWER AGAIN AND IS IN MY DRIVEWAY. IF THIS HAPPENED ON A HIGHWAY WHICH I HAD BEEN ON THAT NIGHT I MIGHT NOT BE WRITING THIS CONCERN TO YOU TODAY. I HAVE SOME SIMILAR STORIES REGARDING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS YET NO RECALLS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHERE THIS GOES FRO HERE. THANKS[XXX] MY E-MAIL IS [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 HAS GONE OUT. I AM HAVING TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND MY TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. FROM WHAT I AM READ THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE 2017 CHEVROLET'S. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION AND THE FACT THAT GM WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS.
WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS THE POWER ASSIST FAILS, MOMENTARILY RESULTING IN EXTREME DIFFICULTY TURNING/MANEUVERING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD SURFACE IS BEING DRIVEN ON (PAVED, UNPAVED) AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME RESULTING IN SITUATIONS WHERE I HAVE MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL.
TRANSMISSION SHUTTER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER FIRST TIME. NO CHANGE. THE SECOND TIME COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES BUT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS.
WHILE GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT, AFTER I ORDERED MY FOOD AND LET MY FOOT OFF MY BRAKE TO ADVANCE FORWARD AND STOP AT THE WINDOW TO PAY ABOUT 20-30 FEET AHEAD, I COULD NOT BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP AT THE WINDOW. MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING VERY HARD IT BARELY STOPPED, EVEN THOUGH…

WHILE GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT, AFTER I ORDERED MY FOOD AND LET MY FOOT OFF MY BRAKE TO ADVANCE FORWARD AND STOP AT THE WINDOW TO PAY ABOUT 20-30 FEET AHEAD, I COULD NOT BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP AT THE WINDOW. MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING VERY HARD IT BARELY STOPPED, EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING LESS THAN ONE MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AS NONE OF MY WARNING LIGHTS WERE NOTING ERRORS AND IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. I ONLY LIVE TWO MILES AWAY SO I DROVE HOME VERY SLOW AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SAME ISSUE ON THE DRIVE HOME. HOWEVER, WHEN I PULLED MY TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND I COULD HEAR THE BREAKS DOING SOMETHING WEIRD. I'M TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TODAY TO GET FIXED TOMORROW WHEN THE SHOP OPENS. I DID RECEIVE TWO WARNING MESSAGES VIA TEXT WHEN I GOT HOME. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE ARTICLES I READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THE ARTICLES SAY IT'S OK TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE SAFETY FEATURES DISENGAGE, HOWEVER, MY FEATURES DID NOT DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING AND I'M GLAD A CAR OR PERSON WAS NOT IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND NEEDS ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE AT SLOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COULTER BUICK GMC TEMPE (7780 S AUTOPLEX LOOP, TEMPE, AZ 85284) WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE ISSUE AND A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE WAS SENT OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE THEN INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO FOUND ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JERRY SEINER CHEVROLET (1990 N PINAL AVE, CASA GRANDE, AZ 85122) WHERE THE CONTACT POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS WEARING ON THE FRONT TWO TIRES THAT HE BELIEVED WAS RELATED TO THE SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,700.
WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN A DRIVE THRU OR PARKING LOT, THERE IS A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE BRAKES. THIS REQUIRES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BRAKING PRESSURE TO STOP. FAILURES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR VIBRATION IN THE PEDALS.

Oct 24, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017.
