2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

COOLANT WATER KEEPS SPILLING FROM WATER PUMP. AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE PUMP BLEW AND SPILLED ALL THE COOLANT AND HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE. 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.

HEARING UNUSUAL POWERTRAIN WINNING , LUGGING ON A HILL TO THE POINT OF SHUTTERING BEFORE IT DOWNSHIFTS, AND THEN VERY HARSH SHIFT. VERY HARSH SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEARS, AND THEN AGAIN ON DOWNSHIFT FROM SECOND TO FIRST. 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.

REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT TOP PLASTIC BRACKET IS MADE VERY UNRELIABLE AND UNSAFE, FIXED IT THREE TIME AT DEALERSHIP. THE PLASTIC BRACKET BREAKS ALL THE TIME WITH JUST A SLIGHT PULL ON THE SEAT BELT. ONCE BROKEN THE SEAT BELT GETS STUCK OR TWIST AROUND BRACKET AND NO LONGER WORKS. IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHEVY/GMC IMMEDIATELY IF SOMEONE GET IN AN ACCIDENT THERE WILL BE A LAW SUIT. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS ISSUE ON LINE.

BEEN HAVING VOLTAGE ISSUES FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS WHERE MY LIGHTS DIM AND VOLT GAUGE DROPS AND RAISES WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY DEALER SAID IT'S NORMAL ALSO HARD DOWN SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING NOT LETTING OFF THE GAS ASSISTANT BRAKES HAVE FAILED AND CLUNK HARD SOMETIMES WHEN STOPPING OR PRESS HARD BACK AT ME THROUGH THE PEDAL AGAIN DEALER SAID IT'S NORMAL I PULLED MY TRUCK OUT FROM THE BACK OF THE HOUSE TO THE FRONT SHUT IT OFF TO GO GET READY FOR WORK A COUPLE MINUTES LATER MY DAUGHTER INFORMED ME MY TRUCK WAS OVER HEATING I WENT TO DOOR TO FIND SMOKE POURING OUT OF MY TRUCK FROM UNDER THE HOOD GRAB A FIRE EXTINGUISHER RUN OUT POP THE HOOD AND THE WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE OF COMPARTMENT IS IN FLAMES HOW DOES A VEHICLE THAT'S NOT RUNNING START ON FIRE? AWAITING MY INSURANCE COMPANY TO GET IT OUT OF HERE I IMAGINE WILL BE A TOTAL LOSS THERE ISN'T MUCH LEFT OF THE ENGINE BAY SO NOT SURE WHAT STARTED THE FIRE

THIS TRUCK HAS SO MANY ISSUES FIRST ONE WAS A FUEL PUMP SENDING UNIT AND IT APPEARS TO BE LINKED IN WITH A LIN DATA BASE? I HAD IT REPAIRED WAS GOOD NOW IT POPS ON AGAIN BUT ITS SAYING IT CAN BE SOMETHING IN THE LIN SYSTEM SAD TODAYS CARS ARE JUST FILLING UP THE JUNK YARDS AND CHARGING 50K FOR A NEW ONE ITS SADLY PISS POOR QUALITY

I STARTED MY VEHICLE AND PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. GAVE THE TRUCK GAS AND IT WOULDN'T ACCELERATE. PUT THE TRUCK BACK IN PARK AND LOOKED AT THE GUAGES AND THERE WERE NO RPM'S SHOWING ON THE CLUSTER AND THE OIL PRESSURE WAS AT ZERO. THERE WAS A MESSAGE THAT SAID TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE SCREEN. I TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND ON AGAIN AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. I PUT THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND IT WOULD MOVE FORWARD BUT THE MOTOR RAN VERY ROUGH AND THERE WAS NO POWER STEERING. I DISMISSED THE FIRST MESSAGE AND ANOTHER MESSAGE POPPED UP THAT SAID "STEERING ASSIST IS REDUCED, DRIVE WITH CARE." I PULLED INTO ANOTHER PARKING SPOT, TURNED THE TRUCK OFF, AND WAITED FOR A RIDE. I STARTED THE TRUCK WHEN MY RIDE SHOWED UP TO MAKE SURE IT WAS STILL NOT WORKING AND IT WAS AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED BEFORE. THE TRUCK HAD NO ISSUES ON THE 16 MILE DRIVE HOME. GOT HOME AND TURNED THE TRUCK OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE MESSAGE CAME BACK UP AND THE ISSUES CAME BACK. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM AND ME SHIFTING THE TRUCK AND THE GUAGE CLUSTER. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE STEERING ASSIST MESSAGE.
