I have had to replace 4 windshields from cracks beginning on the bottom right (passenger) side of vehicle.
A/c failure due to cracks in condenser weldments. Ac starts blowing warm air, compressor cycles continuously, notice the absence of the cooling fan noise. Added one 12oz can r134a, 1 oz pag oil, brought line pressures back> LS-40-45psi/ hs>230-250psi, vent temp on max-38 deg. Lasts about a week.
Cracked weld in ac condenser. Has happened to numerous gm pickups and SUV's in this year.
My 2015 silverado has approx 80k miles and the ac blows hot. The dealership found the ac condenser cracked. I understand from reading many gm forums that this is an ongoing issue happening since 2014. Gm has known about the faulty design and still has yet to issue a recall or TSB. I have been quoted a price of 1200 dollars to fix a known issue.
Faulty tailgate bushing (gm part no. 84331136/84131760), plastic, engineering defect. The part cracks, breaks, disintegrates, simply by opening or closing the truck tailgate over a short period of time. The busing was designed to assist the tailgate by reducing the weight or muscle needed to rest the tailgate without slamming. When the busing cracks or breaks then the tailgate slams down. This is a safety issue since the owner becomes accustomed to the tailgate lowering with ease, and upon the first time opening tailgate after the bushing has been compromised, it slams down, risking injury to your arms, possibly your back or anyone like children, a child's head underneath or below the owners waist. Secondly, gm is "price gauging" their customers. The part cost less than $10 during the warranty period, and the cheaply manufactured part, which is most likely spun on a 3-d printer by a canadian company costs $44 now. They do not offer a oem part and have not changed the plastic part to adapt to all of the customer complaints. This is the fourth bushing I have to replace. Online research of other truck owners with the same vehicle indicate this is a wide spread public problem. I have filed a complaint with gm. They are not willing to help me replace the part at no cost. Please help the consumer. Thank you for your consideration.
