general problems of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

A/c unit does not work. Recharge the system and it leaks out. Gm/Chevrolet knows of the issue and has recalled other models using the same equipment. Not on the Chevrolet silverado models. No mention of leaks or issues by the dealership during regular maintenance. On June 20th 2020 I paid to have the system recharged, didnt blow really cold but gradually it got warmer, now it blows hot air. Last fall oct 2019 it was not blowing cold air, in February 15 2920 while driving the air seemed to get warmer, could not keep the cab cool. After reviewing recall information and other reviews of issues I see that the $1,100 or more for replacement of certain equipment, plus the long delay because gm/Chevrolet has a shortage of the specific parts (back ordered). I think this should be a recall to force gm/ Chevrolet to fix this issue they have known about since before my truck was even built.

Vehicle was being operated on a paved road when the rear window defroster was turned on to clear snow on the outside. Several moments later I heard a hissing sound coming from the rear interior of the pickup cab and then looked into the rear view mirror, at which time I saw smoke emitting form the lower corner of the passenger side fixed window pane (this is 3 piece rear window where the middle pan opens via electrical switch). The hissing continued with the smoke that was coming from the lower corner of the window nearest to the central window panel. I immediately recognized the odor of an electrical fire (burning insulation) and then turned off the rear window defroster switch. The hissing sound and smoke ceased. A few seconds later 8 heard a loud �pop� sound come from the back window and observed that the entire rear passenger side window had shattered, in place with the fracture line emanating outward from he area where the smoke was first observed.

The cabin of the vehicle fills with carbon monoxide. This is known because a 4 gas monitor in the vehicle read carbon monoxide levels in excess of 400 ppm. The source of the leak after being taken to the dealership was found to be a broken bolt in the exhaust manifold. The parts only estimate was $1,700 with approximately 9 labor hours. Online research found numerous complaints. Failure to correct the condition may lead to drivers fainting while driving and cause brain injury to a child or infant. A leak in the exhaust before reaching the catalytic converters also results in possibly excessive untreated emissions. The exhaust leak may or may not pose a fire hazard.

A/c compressor locked up while accelerating when driving on freeway going about 75 mph. I know you may not consider ac a safety factor, but when it's 110 degrees outside and your sitting on leather seats, how could that not be a safety concern?.

The accordian piece to the sunroof jammed and tore preventing closing.

This is a follow up from complaint #11228752 regarding the ac issues on chevy &GMC pickups from 2014 thru 2017 year models. From research I did 98% of the failures was the condenser which also includes the transmission oil cooler. My condenser failed on the drivers side first 3 tubes below the transmission oil cooler as did my friends 2016 sierra and another friend's 2016 texas edition sierra. Same failure same location and between 60 & 75k. Repaired mine myself & my warranty paid me back for new condenser ($219) but not the freon or my labor. There's most definitely an issue on this part and saw no visible difference in the old/ new piece other than a 6�x 6� square of aluminum type flex pad in the upper left corner on driver's side. Similar to the 2018 models not affected by this problem.

I have 60,000 miles and bought it new and today my ac goes out here is another 1000 dollars to repair the condenser I see there are a lot of problems with this year what can we do this is such a shame for the Chevrolet family we purchase appx 10 a year and this is what we have to look forward to my brother has a 2015 also and has replaced the condenser 2 times already when are they going to step up and take care of the customers!!?? not only that but I called young Chevrolet at 7:27am and spoke with the parts/service dept and they said take it anywhere not the chevy corp office is stating no after I already started the repair I cant be with out ac I have breathing issues and the hot texas heat doesn't help they really need to get their act together!.

70,000 miles and truck needs a condenser. It is a know problem and Chevrolet needs to do something about it. It is a 1000. 00 repair.

Tl-the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that there was fuel flowing and leaking from the door frame area, there was an abnormal odor of fuel in and outside of the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer matt blatt kia of toms river 1070 NJ-37, toms river, NJ 08755 (732) 281-0000 where diagnosed that the fuel lines were rusted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer however no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage 53,000. Ap.

I haven't used the a/c in my truck since last October (2018) approximately. Two weeks ago was the first time I've tried to use my a/c and it is only blowing hot air, as I was driving down the interstate. From what I've researched, this is an known problem with a lot of vehicles from gm from 2014-2017 and nothing is being done about it. This is not okay, whatsoever.

When backing up I applied the brakes and the pedal was extremely stiff barely able to stop.

There is a faulty ac condenser component that leaks. This causes all the freon to be spilled out and make the ac blow hot air.

A/c stopped cooling. Still blowing, but not cooling. Way to new of a truck to have this issue with 100� temps coming soon.

I have a 2015 chevy 1500. It is my daily driver,(in alabama) so when my ac stopped working I figured it needed recharged as I do use it quite often. Recharged it and it worked for 2 days. Then out again. So I recharged it and used the dye to see where the leak was located. Can not see where a leak is anywhere. My truck is just out of warranty. There are 1000's of complaints, why is nothing done? I understand that ac is not a necessity to some but with a 7 yo that has asthma, living in alabama it becomes a necessity. Oh, fyi when your air not working neither does your defog. When driving home at night its so bad you cant see out of the window. I have almost wrecked 4 times bc of it. I did hit a dog bc I couldnt see it. . . . . And to think all the 1000's of people having the exact same problem bc of a flawed design. You may want to take note before paying a lawsuit bc someone lost their life bc of something simple and known.

While driving and traffic my brake pedal gets so hard cannot stop truck.

Apparently the a/c compressor issue is well known via gm yet it is not classified as a recall. We have two children under 5 who have to endure the heat until we find a place that does not try to rob us on something that is happening to every 2015 Silverado 1500. On any other basis this would be a recall, so why is it not? at the least, I figured gm would offer a discounted service for replacements. The parts for the 2015 body were already recycled parts so why such a steep price.

As my wife came to a complete stop at a stoplight and as the light turned green, she pressed the gas pedal and the truck would not accerlate. She pressed the gas pedal down to the floor board and still would not accerlate. So due to this the truck slowly rolled foward. She slammed on the brakes and the brakes would not move. Like if they became locked and wouldn't move an inch. At this point she is trying to get off the road to the shoulder, to avoid oncoming traffic. Then she finds that the steering wheel is also locked and can not be turned. It's taking her maximum effort to stop the truck from rolling forward and to veer off the road to avoid other vehicles. She is finally able to stop the vehicle after about 100 yards of effort and waits about 10 minutes, before the brakes and steering wheel would free up. No error message was present the entire time these functions were disabled and after they freed up, it was like if nothing ever happened. No check engine light has ever been on this vehicle. Strong belief this is a manufacturing defect and should have a recall.

Always had truck garaged but now in driveway and when it rains the floor fills with water.

First and foremost, I'd like to say that I've been completely satisfied with my vehicle up until recently. A little of three years ago, I decided to give up my Dodge and switch over to chevy. I liked what they had to offer in the 2015 silverado. Long story short, a few months out of warranty, my ac stopped blowing cold air all of a sudden. I immediately took the truck in to the dealer to have it diagnosed and found out that my condenser had a leak. I thought that this was odd due to the fact that I barely drive the truck, literally. It only has about 28,600miles on it in about 40 months. With that said, I proceeded to do a little research. My findings were that this has been an all to common issue with these trucks since the 2014 design. Is there anyway to get someone within gm to take a closer look at what is obviously some type of flaw or defect in equipment due to poor craftsmanship? you may say that I should've purchased an extended warranty and all but I feel like a component such as a condenser shouldn't be defective so soon either, especially on a low mileage vehicle that's barely out of warranty. Even if gm isn't willing to help me, I'd be happy with them fixing the problem for future consumers so that they don't become a "victim" like I have. It seems like this has been a big problem with these trucks and some others but I was never notified of any recalls or anything. While searching online, I found a "special coverage/program" number (17336). It was also along with NHTSA id 10135138.

After driving at regular speeds brakes work fine. In stop-and-go traffic feel like no brake pedal, have to press very hard truck 2 get truck to stop.

My father died after having a accident in his truck on 11/8/18. I believe it is attributed to the recent recall , leading to him dying after being pulled out through the windshield and collapsed afterwards. The stress from this accident attributed to his death.

Transmission is continually hesitating - when coming to stop and then accelerating again. It is a dangerous situation almost caused accident 3 times.

The truck was taken to dealership on sept. 24 for recall repair of faulty steering. On oct. 1 steering locked up and brakes failed while my daughter was driving and an accident occurred. Accident report filed with missouri state police.

While slowing down to make a turn, usually always using turn signal, my truck will completely shut down in the middle of the intersection with no warning. The engine shuts down and all electrical is lost. Luckily I haven't been hit by another vehicle while trying to restart my truck in the middle of the intersection had to jump out car so I wasn't in side if hit finally cars stop honking I jumped back in and started up again I was scared had my children with me.

A/c condensor leaks and a/c stops working this happens just after the manufacture warranty expires my truck ac stop working at 37,688.

My 2015 silverado began blowing hot air with a/c on. Have had refrigerant added several times and it leaks out in 3-4 days. Another service location identified the problem as a bad a/c condenser. Looked online and discovered that there are many more people affected by this exact problem. Some are saying that there is a recall but my dealer says they are unaware of any problems or recalls. This is being reported as �widespread failure� so vast that the replacement parts are unavailable due to national backorders.

Condenser is going out on my truck.

At 46000 miles the ac unit compressor went bad. I researched this and found it to be a major issue with these gm vehicles. I personally know 4 trucks that have had the same problem. I have to wonder why gm has not recalled this vehicle knowing they have an issue.

Rear drivers side door says it's not latched but it is. Therefore the doors do not lock automatically and the dome lights do not turn off automatically. This could cause some serious issues as I don't know if the door is properly latched since it says this all the time. My children ride in the vehicle and this is a huge safety concern.

I join a long list of Chevrolet truck owners experiencing ac failure far too soon in the vehicle's life. My 2015 Silverado 1500 4x4 z71 with 42,000 miles had the ac completely stop working over the weekend under normal driving conditions. The temperature was 82f. Upon inspection at the dealership, it was determined that the condenser had a leak on the top right side and that it would need to be replaced. When I asked about the warranty claim, the service manager explained that he has submitted the claim and that he, " . . . Had very little doubt that it would be approved. " " we see this a lot," he explained. This is a widely known issue and several owners are paying out of pocket for faulty equipment that should have never been installed on such an expensive vehicle. Gm's "most dependable truck" slogan is worthy of debate.

Ever since I bought the vehicle I've noticed a ruff ride . It feels like it's coming from rear end . I hit a slight bump on road while driving and it bounces and vibrates roughly. Took it back to dealership a month or so after buying it and was told my tires where not balanced , so they balanced them and still came out the same . Decided to get a second opinion months later and was told it had weak shocks in front so they changed those out . Still nothing had changed . So returned it to the same dealership a week later and they then did the rear shocks mentioning they were in weak condition. Still no change . At that time my vehicle was under factory warranty so I guess they troubleshoot the cheapest way just to get the customer out of their and save money on their end . Now that my warranty is just over I called the dealership and they are giving me options I should have been told when my warranty was in effect.

I'm adding to the growing list of complaints about the ac issues with gm/chevy full-sized vehicles from 2014-2015. As of 5/3/2018, I had noticed my ac only blowing hot air. Tried again the following day, same thing. Only being 2 years old, I found it incredibly odd that the freon would be gone already. Upon doing my research about the problem, I discovered that this is a tremendously egregious known issue with GMC/chevy owners and a recall regarding the problem has still not been issued to correct it. Given the fact my vehicle has just fallen out warranty as well, it's incredibly infuriating that I'm now forced to have these repairs come out of pocket and wait nearly a month for the parts to come in. This needs to be addressed immediately by GMC/chevy before the hottest days of summer arrive.

My 2015 silverado with 59,000 had the ac go out. The ac blows warm air wehter it is parked, driving on the highway @ 65mph. Apparently there are thousands of other gm owners with the same issue. This issue is on sierras, silverados, tahoes, yukons, and escalades! it is a defective and well known and documented issue with the ac condenser/compressor. It cost over $1,000. 00 to fix and is not covered under warranty with no gm or dealer discounts. The issue is so major that the back order for the part takes months and there are over 18,000 units are on back order! yes! 18,000 units!.
