problem #95

Silverado 1500

  • 69,103 miles
On June 3, 2018 upon cranking the truck, the A/C began blowing extremely hot air to the point it left a red mark across my hand after feeling for the vent waiting for the temperature to cool down. It was 90 degrees outside and raining so windows couldn't be rolled down. Windshield remained foggy due to humidity within the truck and I had to pull over frequently when driving in order to wipe the windshield to be able to see. Two children in the backseat of the truck, one in a rear facing car seat were beyond over heated and well on their way to heat exhaustion by the time we reached the dealership due to temperatures reaching above 95 within the cab. Truck was seen at dealership and was advised due to vibration from driving, the A/C discharge hose was cracked allowing the heat from the engine to be blown directly into the cab of the truck. Hose was replaced ad a bracket added to improve the stability of the hose and refrigerant added. Eight months and 4 days later, A/C suddenly began blowing hot air again. Was advised at the dealership that the high side service port was now leaking and needed a valve replacement and refrigerant added again.

On multiple occasions, I'd say about 4, when reversing slowly it felt like the brakes went out. I had to push the pedal all the way down in order to get the truck to completely come to a stop.

My truck has been making a sudden, momentary grinding or zipper sound, usually happens when I accelerate hard. It doesn't do it all the time, only sporadically but seems to be happening more often and at lower rates of speed now. When it began, I was usually doing around 70 mph, but has started to do it around 55 mph and then today it did it at around 40 mph. I have brought it in twice, but they couldn't work on it because the truck never made the noise while the mechanic was with me.

Complete A/C failure in 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ltz Z71 while on vacation. Stopped to get gas and A/C would not cool upon restarting the vehicle. 475 miles later at 95 degrees, I was able to get the vehicle into the dealership. Defective condenser had to be replaced, (at my expense), with new "redesigned" GM part at a cost of $1,309.94. Found numerous examples of this exact same problems through my dealer and the internet. GM has offered no relief for this defect. In fact they have tried to mislead me by stating that the dealer used a refurbished part which is not covered by any warranty. This is an outright lie!

This is the 3rd ac condenser that has failed on this same type of vehicle. GM refuses to acknowledge that is is a factory defective part and continues to charge customers $1,000's of dollars for repairs. There are hundreds of thousands of complaints from customers. Who is going to hold them accountable?

Austin, tx 2nd time ac goes out, truck has 67,000 miles. Previous failure (Nov, 2016 @ 39378 miles) was due to faulty line/design in refrigerant discharge hose. Had repaired by dealer and bracket installed. Sept. 2018, after leaving truck parked for several days while traveling, experienced warm air blowing out of vents upon return. Working with dealer to resolve, for the 2nd time.

Air conditioning-GM has known about the wide spread problem of there air conditioners in my truck as well as many other trucks just like mine. However they do not issue a recall for the problem which should have be done and many people agree on this issue because the part which is the condinser is a critical part in the air condition system

The air conditioner condenser has a small leak causing the refrigerant to leak out. This is a known problem with all GM Silverado 2014-2017 and a recall needs to be issued. They are all leaking in the same place due to a faulty weld from the factory. This is a $1200 repair.

Per dealership the upper ac hose that hooks to the condenser will crack due to needing a bracket that was not installed at all. The cost for me to repair is 1200 to 1500 bit why when there is a known issue will Chevrolet not fix it. Please respond the a.C. worked fine one day and then absolutely nothing the next day. Does not cool at all. Can't afford to fix a Chevrolet error and prefer not to take it further. I would just like my a.C. to be fixed! please

A/C went out, coming up on some hot days. The A/C hose after only 41000 miles has worn a hole in it somehow. How is that possible? dealership in san leandro wants $750 to replace it. I have seen issues with the condensor wondering if people have complained about this as well.
