1 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 12/12/2018

The door locks create a life safety issue. I locked my truck and went into a store leaving an adult passenger in the truck. I came out with packages and asked the passenger to unlock the door. Neither the door lock switch or the handle would allow her to unlock the doors. There is absoltely no way a passenger can get out for any reason if the doors are locked and they don't have the keys. The dealer say this is part of the security system. The owners manual doesn't give any instruction on how to disarm this. Passenger left in truck without the keyes with the doors locked is in a death trap built by Chevrolet.

2 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 08/23/2017

Doors will not lock using the lock button. Locks and unlock manually only if you are able to catch lock and manually pull it up to open or push it down to lock. This occurs when car is stationary or in motion which makes it hard to enter vehicle urgently or exit in the same manner (urgently).

3 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 08/18/2016

I own a 2000 chevy silverado truck and had not had any problem(s) with doors until on August 18, 2016 the power lock mechanism for the passenger door stopped working. The drivers side door still worked. I felt that my key to the doors would allow access to the passenger side but it would not open. The key did work on the drivers side. The slide bar on the passenger side door also could not move thus rendering that door in a constant state of being locked. I became very concerned that a vehicle could be made with power locks and not have some system to manually allow the opening of the vehicle. If the vehicle were in an accident and the only way out was the passenger door the occupant could face serious injury or even death. This seems to be a severe safety risk. Now I'm afraid to drive truck for fear this might happen on driver's side and I would be unable to get out of truck.

4 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 02/09/2016

The transmission hesitates when shifting in automatic but when in manual mode it shifts fine with no issues. This has been a on going issue and problem the service center for a local dealership can not find the issue. But there is something going on with the transmission.

5 Owners/service Manual problem of the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

Failure Date: 12/13/2014

The driver's door failed to open from the inside when arriving at my destination. The locks appeared to work both manually and electrically but the inside door latch handle would not open the door. I think this is a bit of a safety issue. Very difficult to climb across the console to get to the passenger side door. It finally cleared itself after a bit of time, but you want that door to open when you need it to open. A couple of weeks later I was playing with it again, it opened but would not latch to close. I would suspect the issues are related but have not had it back to the dealer to have it looked at.
