As I was driving on a city street high speed limit all the sudden all the warning dash lights came on although the engine is running, I didn't understand it tried to slow down and had to apply a lot of pressure to the brake pedal . I did not understand it. When I stopped the lights went out. I turned off the vehicle with the key and started it again. A couple days later I remotely started my vehicle but when I got in and turn the key on the lights did not go off immediately as they normally do.

Transmission shifts hard into gear when slowing down and extremely hard when towing 2,000lb empty trailer, currently at dealership to have new torque converter and pump installed. Dealership stated no metal shavings in transmission they believe. When accelerating engine rpms increase while vehicle speed decreases. Stereo constantly disconnects from wifi when streaming music. Wifi will continue to work for other devices. Voice commands work 80%ish of the time.

A rough clunk noise occurs when trying to stop, and car actually revs to accelerate speed when applying breaking and trying to stop. (in . Motion) this is a dangerous issue. Transmission does not appear to smoothly enter into subsequent gears. A jerk occurs in between shifting of gears. (moving) I have been completely stopped on a flat street, and relax my foot off the break, and the car wants to leap jump forward. This is not safe. (stopped) there are several reports of this issue found in online forums from other owners with the same 2017 chevy Silverado. Just purchased vehicle in November.

The ambient temperature sensor doesn't work. It does not read the correct temperature outside. This impacts the a/c, which does not work properly when the sensor is not reading the correct external temperature. The fairfield Chevrolet service department refuses to acknowledge the issue, let alone fix or replace the sensor. I use my truck on ranches and logging properties where it is literally impossible for me to drive over 20mph for 5 minutes. And when it is 105 degrees and the a/c thinks it is only 65 outside, the a/c does not engage. The service department keeps telling me that they cannot replicate the problem so it must not be real. This is the equivalent of calling me a liar in order to avoid honoring the warranty.

While I was driving on the highway, approximately 55mph; the check engine light came on; smelled like plastic burning at the same time; I was able to stop on exit ramp as thick black smoke filled the inside. Good samaritans helped me get out as flames were ignited under the hood. Several like Mini explosions accompanied the flames.

Interior driver side front driver window button not always working. At times when this happens the door ajar is lit, while the door may be shut, it doesn't latch completely. This happens when the vehicle is in motion or in park. This causes the interior lamps to stay on and drain out the battery. I did have it serviced under warranty. Problem was solved, until today 08/10/2018.

Bought 2017 Silverado 1500 ltz new. Backup camera will not dim at night, blinding, makes it difficult to back up, unable to see inside or outside. Been that way since new. It's a safety factor, right now it would be better off without it at night. Salesman at dealership said that's just the way it is. I have three other gm vehicles, all of them have backup cameras that dim with the instrument lighting. I was told there is a service bulletin out there, but the dealer knows nothing about it.

While driving my 2014 chevy Silverado, I have had 3 instances where the stability control light came on and I suddenly lost lost all steering and brakes. Within a 2-3 seconds the cluster and radio went dead and then the engine stopped. I had no ability to control the vehicle. I took the vehicle to the dealer and they stated the logs showed 1 1/2 pages of vehicle communications errors including loss of communications to steering, loss of communications to brakes, etc. After 8 days of analysis, the dealer notified me that this was a known issue with gm and that there is an active pi number for the issue. However, there is no known resolution for the issue. Because there is no known solution, they asked me to come pick up the vehicle and continue driving it and they will contact me when a solution is found. When I asked if they understood that I could lose control of the vehicle and potential kill myself, a family member of another driver they only told me that they had no other suggestions. I escalated to gm customer care and they assured me that because there are no open recalls on my vehicle for this issue, it was completely safe to drive and that I shouldn't worry. A search of the internet revealed many people who have had the exact same experience and who were told to continue driving the vehicle. One even stated that they hit a pedestrian after losing control of the truck. This issue is obviously a huge safety risk as the driver can lose complete control of the vehicle at any speed.

On Monday October 5, 2015, I was driving truck at approximately 60 mph on highway when suddenly all electronics went black and complete loss of power on highway. Luckily, I was able to pull of to side of road. I turned the key to off position (engine was not running) and waited several minutes then turned truck on and it started. The traction light kept coming on and off but the truck did not loose power again-thankfully. I could have been killed or caused a serious accident.

First incident the stabilitrack service light flashed so fast I could barely read it. . Second incident happened on September 20,2015 and it happened twice. The stabilitrack light came on again but this time the door locks locked and unlocked , lights went off and on , radio went off and on and it stalled the engine almost as if the vehicle shorted out.

Use this truck for commercial purposes to haul trailers. Truck has turned off while driving 4 times. Three while driving with trailer when it hits rough road or under construction road and takes hard jolt to front end. First you are driving, then you hit bump or dip in road and you notice you have no steering, when you look down you notice whole display is shut down ( like it was never on) with no warning lights displayed. You have to put truck into neutral while driving and restart. Last time it happened had 30 foot trailer on truck and were in a downhill position with a turn and no steering capability ( no antilock or trailer brakes because they need electricity to operate)and 300 ft from going off embankment and then dropping 100ft into a gully. The trucks whole electrical system turns off shutting down everything in the truck. Own 7 trucks and have owned 20 plus trucks over the years. I have had design flaw issues and just fluke issues that just happen to that one truck. This really seems more like a design flaw, either in ignition with their new keys ( have a 2012, this ignition is defiantly different) or the electrical system, or maybe they added some sensor that shuts truck off if in a front end impact. If I am right this will kill someone, the truck gives you no warning before turning off and most people are unaware they can shift a car into neutral and restart while driving and since it has happened while pulling trailers this is very dangerous not just for the driver and passages of the vehicle but every other car or truck on the roadway with it. Example of this, the last time when we could not steer and could not go with the turn of the road, there was a car in the second lane and the trailer went into that lane, the car had to make evasive manuviers to avoid impact with trailer.

I have had to replace the distributor cap and rotor bug often due to corrosion after less than 1000 miles. This is very dangerous. The delearship installed cover over the ac line and that had little effect. It is my belief that this is a manufacture flaw.
