general problems of the 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 2

While driving to the store the rear glass blow up for no reason, dealers said it has something to do with the rear defrost. My car got full of smoke, I thought it was going to catch on fire.

The clutch torque converters wear out so fast and they wear out so close to the end of the vehicles warranty.

The vehicle throws the check engine light randomly (avg once every 2 months). It occurs around 65 mph (interstate) which, leads me to believe it is a misfire on one of the cylinders. I have had it to the dealership and a diagnostic complete. Spark plugs were changed and they said it fixed the issue; yet it has not fixed the issue. I notice no power loss when it comes on (blinks). This light blinks roughly 30-45 seconds and goes off.

Very upset the paint on hood and top coming off . Went back to my local dealer and complained about it but they are not doing any thing about it . I paid a lot of money for this truck and only has 23,000 miles it should be covered under warranty ! clear coat coming off, corrosion covered !.

Transmission slips causing truck to shake while driving.

My ac quit working from one day to the next! no warning no noise just started blowing hot air. It worked on my way home from work and the next morning would not cool off at all.

The truck glitches turns off in the middle of driving on the freeway or turning somewhere it will turn off the steering wheel gets hard and everything turns off for 3 seconds and goes back on. I have taken it in and reported this more than once and if I get in a car accident because of this I am sueing this company!.

Child lock feature for back door won't shut off and lock will not work! this happens when car is on or off in park.

My family was stuck in traffic in charlotte at rush hour 8-18-18 we had push the truck across 4 lanes it died it started 20 minuites later and done it again down the road we pushed again waited it started I drove it home 2. 5 hours with no problem took it to dealer ship they said computer showed nothing today 7-19-19 it done it again after setting in traffic we pushed out of the road it started 20 minutes later so this time I had it towed I have to small kids this is not safe so its at the dealer now it has 8000 miles on it.

Purchased 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 11/2017. 04/2017, no cold air blowing from the ac. Took it to dealership thinking only need a recharge since this vehicle is fairly new. Found out there was a leak from the condenser. This cost me out of pocket nearly $1200!! would like to know if anyone experienced this situation?.

My brakes failed to stop my vehicle at slow speeds and while I was at a decline and almost caused me to rear end another vehicle. The brake pedal got extremely hard and would not allow me to press down on it.

The back middle passenger seat belt plastic does stay in the upper shoulder area causing the seat belt to go to the side and unable to adjust. Other ac has a leak I should not have to pay out of pocket for a truck of the age of 2 years I see other got repair but mine is not on a list of repairs I can not afford this expensive.

This the third time that the door latch is not working on different doors not just in one 3-4 months ago they replaced one of the latch the passenger rear door, know I have the driver side and rear drive side.

The fuel pedal flexes when accelerating. Its mounted by plastic and it moves while the pedal is depressed.

My truck shut off, while driving on the highway and would not restart. This happened two times within three weeks. I hade to have the truck towed both times. The dealership couldn't give me a reason for the problem. The dealership returned the truck to me after one week the first time, two weeks the second time. They couldn't get it to restart, until it sat for a day both times. They couldn't give me a reason for the shutdown ether time.

The codes should not allow you to use the starter and it dose will be goiing down the road and loses power. Went through 5 wire harrnesses with in the 5 months.

The pickup shakes at speeds typically between 30-45 and 55-75. It shakes hard enough and long enough at times where at higher speeds becomes dangerous because it compromises the steering where the truck can come off its line and become unstable. It will also shake randomly and for unknown periods of time. When it starts I have no control over it and no control over when it starts or stops. I have brought it into the dealer a couple times now. The first time they said I needed to rebalance the wheels and put on new tires so I did both. The second time they said it was a problem with the engine/drivetrain when it deactivates 4 cylinders. They told me there is nothing they can do for this problem. I have researched this and it seems that it is a problem with this specific engine and gm is claiming there is not a safety issue. This is completely false as the truck becomes unstable and steering is compromised. At highway speeds this is a huge issue especially if this continues into winter months where road conditions are not the best.

Transmission problem I have chevy silverado crew cab 1500 lt with e assist package I got problem with transmission and any time I stop by traffic light ,stop sign or stock in traffic my car get auto off by completing stop and then when I start driving my car my transmission is kicking most of the time and my family or anybody inside my car by that time they complain because it's really bad for everybody neck that suddenly shake. I just after a month talking to dealer and customer service I took my car to dealer to check.

Vibration in the rest end. Had tires rotated and still a vibration. Complained to general motors only to be told that it is within their specs. They know there is an issue with the 2015-2017 silverados and nothing being done. Makes it uncomfortable to drive on long trips is at all speeds while driving and negotiating bends in the highway. Noticed when I purchase and drove off the lot purchased in November 2017 continued.

Rear facing camera can not be dimmed. When backing at night, camera display is so bright you can't use your mirrors. You can not focus on anything that may be along side of the vehicle. This could be dangerous to anyone who might be out of sight of the camera. I have read that older year vehicles have a camera display dim feature.

When accelerating from a stop truck hesitates to the point where you could get hit or you have to push pedal hard which makes vehicle jerk or spin tires, especially when wet pavements. Also will stutter and vibrate at higher speeds. Been told it's normal for this truck with its fuel saving shit from 4-8 cylinder. Not safe at all.

I have been driving a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 z71 pick-up truck since February 2017. Since nearly day one, the vehicle has experienced vibration and wobble like shaking noticeable at normal highway speeds, becoming more noticeable above 60 mph. At certain instances the vehicle begins to experience a mild bouncing. The vehicle has been in to the dealership to repair the problem four times over the course of ownership (apx. Six months at the time of this submission) and approximately 10,000 driving miles and the issue still is ongoing. The dealer stated that they are unable to repair the problem. The dealership had called in a field engineer to help with the issue, twice, they as well, unable to repair the problem. The dealership has replaced numerous tires, road force balanced wheels and tires, replaced suspension bushings, steering gear box, steering bushings, unmounted the body from the chassis and unbolted the exhaust system, reassembling in a different pattern, removed caliper clips, and made other changes. The issue still exists. Following their attempt to repair the issue, the vehicle now makes a clunk noise when executing a tight turning radius and driving over a small bump (such as a driveway apron). When the shaking / vibration occurs, the vehicle feels unstable and feels as if there may be a loss of control.

My vehicle is a pickup with the z71 off road package. I use it working on farm and pasture land which requires me to drive off road in tall grass and brush at times. I noticed, and it was called to attention, that grass and brush was collecting around the rear axle, drive line and exhaust system. I got under the vehicle and found two large plastic clamps around the axle housing that have a large v shaped opening facing the front of the pickup. The clamps are catching and holding grass and brush which then builds up as the vehicle travels. I consider this to be a safety issue which number one could cause a fire, cause damage and failure of the drive line and endangers my safety by having to crawl under the vehicle to remove the brush and grass. This problem started when the vehicle was new 6/25/17 to current.

Bought the truck 16 Nov 16 in idaho. Noticed at the end of Jan/early Feb '17 that paint chips/knicks were starting to appear all over the truck and in places where the only way you could see them was to the open a door (I. E. Not even exposed to the road). After making numerous inquiries to local gm dealerships, all of whom said it was sand damage, I started doing research. Turns out, I'm not the only person with this issue on their trucks. It appears the issues with paint on gm (both GMC and silverado) trucks started around mid to late model 2014 trucks and persists to this day (see attachments). Additionally, my local dealership here in reno, I have found out, has been lying to me; they told me they submitted two separate requests to gm for the truck to be repainted as they agreed with me (in-person and via phone) that something is wrong with the paint. It turns out, this is all a farce. The two requests they submitted stated, "customer has been advised to file a claim with their insurance as damage is caused due to sand damage. Customer insists dealership submit a claim to gm for warranty re-paint". Whilst I'm paraphrasing here, I was livid to learn this was 'their behind my back kind of thing'. Prior to learning about this shenanigan, I thought for a second that perhaps the dealerships could be correct, maybe it could be damage from driving. So, I took it to three separate repair facilities in the area and all of whom said the same thing, verbatim, "the clear coat is too hard, it's like glass. Factory defect". Well, that confirmed it. Lastly, I have just recently contacted the dealership from which I bought the truck (idaho). They advised me at 1352 on 23 may 17 to escalate this issue beyond gm. And that's why I'm filing this complaint folks. Do your homework before buying any new gm product.

Truck exhibits a rough idle after truck is driven and warm. Idle causes teh truck to shake and feels like it will die at stops. Rpm drops below 300 rpm then goes back to 490 rpm. In addition the truck will start to shake and vibrate at highway speeds of 75-80 mph. GMC service performed TSB changing our engine mounts but that has not fixed the issue. This is a known issue on silverados and no fix in site. Concerned with seat vibration this is a safety issue due to potential drive train part failure.

I am requesting that dot NHTSA investigate the extreme wobble/vibration/shake on new 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The vehicle was purchased new and driven under 55 mph for the first 500 miles. After the first 500 miles and beginning to drive highway speeds, between 60 - 75+ miles per hour, a wobble/vibration/shake began to occur. When the wobble/vibration/shake begins the driver feels that control of the vehicle is being lost and the driver must decrease the speed, which is able to be accomplished with both releasing foot off of the accelerator or lightly breaking, in order to regain control. The vehicle has been to the dealer for front left wheel replacement due to the inability of original tire to be balanced, the vehicle has field force balancing 3 times, and the left front axle boot has been replaced. After several attempts to correct the wobble/vibration/shake, the vehicle now has ~10,000 miles, the wobble/vibration/shake continues to occur at highway speeds.
