Silverado 1500 8-cyl

  • miles
Trailer brake system I have owned this Chevy Silverado 2015 since 2018 when I purchased it certified from a used car dealership in upstate New York. About one year into owning the vehicle I started to experience an alarm that was flash trailer brake system. This alarm would beep and flash in my center consul restricting me from sight distracting me from driving and is almost impossible to drive the car without distraction. I checked YouTube I called the manufacture I did so much to figure out what was going on and why this was happening considering I do not show any thing I did not understand why the trailer brake would cause such a problem considering I never told anything.After about three months of driving the car this trailer brake system alarm stopped. Now recently 2022 the trailer break system alarm is back and flashes nonstop and is relentless. I cannot listen to music I cannot hear my own self think the alarm is so loud and so distracting I would rather walk to the store then drive the truck I am forced to drive this truck because of the fact that I need to get to work but the safety hazards that are now limiting me and I am afraid this is going to cause a major accident or loss of life. I recently discovered that this is a manufacturers wire harness malfunction due to faulty wiring and a low-grade wire harness system. Before this gets any worse I need some sort of help. Knowing that it is impossible to fix without thousands of dollars being spent and finding a specific electrical auto technician to fix it it is nearly impossible to have this fixed Chevy refuses to even acknowledge there is a problem I need someone to please help me and the other Chevy Silverado owners to get this under recall so that these wire harnesses can be replaced please help us my name is [XXX] my address [XXX] [XXX] is my cell phone number INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Silverado 1500

  • miles
Upper right hand corner of display screen can be unresponsive or, more frequently, select items on its own. It will select different radio stations, rearrange apps, and call or put calls on hold. Steering wheel display changes to radio tab on its own. This puts my safety at risk because I have to fight with the radio to keep it on a single station and take my eyes off the road to constantly take phone calls off hold. Problem occurred in presence of dealer mechanic and I have videos of the problem. I have taken this to the dealer and they were unable to solve the problem. No warning lamps to indicate anything wrong or preceded the incident. The problem began in July 2021.

Silverado 1500

Activated remote start on vehicle. As I got into vehicle, my passenger noticed a burning smell and then saw thick smoke coming from rear window. I turned off the rear defroster and the smoke started to dissipate. My rear window then shattered. GM recalled 159,000 vehicles in Canada due to what seems like the same issue with rear defrosters. My truck was purchased in the United States.

Silverado 1500

  • 58,000 miles
The air conditioning condenser leaks at one of the side welds. This causes loss of air conditioning but also the defroster function so the interior windows fog over and it is difficult to see. This is a known issue (GM changed the condenser design in later years but did not issue a tsb). The cost to have this corrected is anywhere from $880-$1200 dollars depending on the dealer. It is also such a widespread problem that the replacement oem condenser is on backorder for several months.

Having grounding issues with vehicle. Whole dash goes blank. Has stalled on highway several times. Have taken it to the dealer they stated that I had to pay $800 and to install it it cost me $1100 and then $256 to go underneath the dash and tighten a bolt I have research this on youtube and it looks as though from the 2014 to 2020 it's an issue to all trucks. Just purchased this and May 2020. On dashboard the alternator indicator shows below 14 volts. And during one of the stollings on the highway and the whole family in the vehicle scared to death. I think this is a great issue that needs to be recalled that I shouldn't have to fix less than six months after purchasing a vehicle. This all happened in the St. Louis area

This picture represents some of the paint loss on the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 crew cab. I bought this vehicle brand new and have never been in the snow. There's no way that a vehicle should have paint peeling or have exposed metal.

They performed recall N192268490, updated ebcm, wcc:28yn28468172 per receipt they gave me. Vacuum pump was replaced. All this did not correct the break problem to this day. Please advise.
