ON OCTOBER 24, 2015 WHILE FOLLOWING MY WIFE HOME ON HWY 182 BETWEEN WEST PASCO AND RICHLAND MY TRUCK EXPERIENCE WHAT FELT LIKE A TIRE BLOWOUT ON THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL. I WAS TRAVELING THE SPEED LIMIT AT 70 MPH. THE ROAD WAS LEVEL AND FLAT WITH NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD. I PROCEEDED TO CHANGE OUT MY TIRE WITH THE SPARE, THINKING THAT THE TIRE HAD A LARGE BOLT OR NAIL IN IT. TO MY SURPRISE, THE TIRE WAS INTACT WITH NO SIGN OF DAMAGE. THE FACTORY RIM HAD FAILED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE RADIO AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO WORK. THE NEXT DAY, THE RADIO WAS NOT WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. AFTER A WHILE, THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO A DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR EVALUATION. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

TRANSMISSION CANNOT FIND GEARS WHEN COASTING OR SLOWING DOWN AND THEN HITTING ACCELERATOR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HESITATES FOR SECONDS BEFORE FINDING THE RIGHT GEAR AND GOING, OR IT STAYS IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR INSTEAD OF DOWNSHIFTING TO ACCELERATE AND RATTLES. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. GM DOESN'T CARE!

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO AND IN THE FIRST WEEK I HAD IT, WHILE DRIVING, THE TRUCK JUST SIMPLY COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. DEALER CLAIMS THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND AFTER KEEPING TRUCK FOR DAYS STATED COULD NOT FIND ANY ISSUES. ABOUT ONE MONTH LATER REMOTES NOT WORKING AND TRUCK WARNING THAT EMERGENCY BRAKE IS ON EVEN THOUGH IT WAS RELEASED. COULD NOT GET TO REGISTER THAT EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS OFF AND WHILE DRIVING NONE OF THE TURN SIGNALS WERE WORKING AS TO TRUCK WARNING TO PULL OVER DUE TO VEHICLE EMERGENCY BRAKE WAS ON. I HAVE ONLY MADE ONE PAYMENT ON THIS NEW VEHICLE AND TRUCK HAS ALREADY BEEN IN SHOP 2X .I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE AS DEALER NOT HELPING ME AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS TRUCK. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT TURNING OF OR ANYTHING ELSE AS TO BEING A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO SPEAK WITH SEVERAL MANAGERS AND ONE JUST STATED TO ME" THAT IS WHY YOU HAVE WARRANTY AND JUST KEEP EYE ON IT." SINCE ALL THIS I HAVE SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET, AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER SILVERADOS. . ED BOZART CHEVROLETT STILL CLAIMS NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS. PLEASE HELP ME. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIAL ACCIDENT ISSUE. THE FIRST ISSUED HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON CRAIG ROAD WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY BAD AS THIS IS A 45 MPH ROAD, LUCKILY IT WAS A WEEKEND AND NOT BUSY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. SPENDING OVER $40,000 ON THIS TRUCK NOT EXPECTING TO FEEL UNSAFE WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND VIBRATED EXTENSIVELY IN THE FRONT. UPON TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE VEHICLE, THERE WAS LESS SHAKING, BUT THE STRONG VIBRATION CONTINUED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BED COVER WAS AFTERMARKET AND THE WIND WAS CAUSING THE STRONG VIBRATION AND SHAKING TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

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.

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 WAS DRIVING DOWNHILL FOR APROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES TOWING A BOAT. MY FAMILY WAS IN THE TRUCK TOTAL OF FIVE PASSANGERS. SUDDENLY I NOTICED A SMELL OF SOMETHING BURNING. I DROVE FRO APPROXIMATELY FIVE MORE MINUTES THE I NOTICED THE BREAK PEDAL WAS GOING ALL THE WAY IN, THEREFORE I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THAT IS WHEN I SAW SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE LEFT FRONT TIRE BRAKES.
