Original complaint # 11011865, so i brought my 2015 silverado back to michaels chevrolet in fresno after they replaced my rack and pinion. The second rack had same issue after being on truck for three weeks. This time dealership refused to replace the rack. I noticed gm recalled over 800,000 2014 silverado recently. I have an early model 2015 silverado which i learned has the same rack and pinion as the 2014's. I…

I'm having issues with my chevy silverado dying out while driving when i'm making turns that will cause the truck to have error messages popping up with regards to the stable trac sensor, the airbag light coming on, the radio going in and out, and the ac going out/coming back on. While backing up the truck is locking up on me, and the steering wheel is jerking out of my hands, which will dye out as well. When i go…

Very low speed impact caused total steering loss. Turning right onto a street, impacting a stationary vehicle located the passenger side. Speed of impact was very low, but caused steering loss. Repair estimate shows failure of the gear assy, steering. I have a police report and insurance estimate from chevy dealership, and will provide them upon request, but do not wish to make them public.

It began with the headlights/parking lights flickering for a few weeks. Later the truck began to give error messages about stability control, trailer brake control, and others. Finally it violently jerked the steering wheel out of my hands on numerous occasions (truck has electric power steering). This happened at approximately 45 mph in various turns but i am concerned it could happen at highway speeds which would…

When turning steering wheel i hear a clunking/grinding noise. On 7/07/2017 i brought it in to michaels chevrolet located in fresno, ca regarding the issue. I was told the issue was a result of a bad rack and pinion. They replaced the rack under warranty. Now three weeks later i'm having the exact same problem so obviously this new one is bad as well. The clunking/grinding noise is more pronounced when stationary and…

This weekend my truck started acting weird. On saturday there is a very intermittent zap or click noise that would come through the speakers. Almost like there is a short somewhere. When this happens and i am turning the steering wheel tries to pull back midline for about a second or two then goes back to where it was previously turned to. When i started the truck up on sunday i had to re-enter the time in the radio…

Truck began to have the chevy shakes about the 12k mile point and has increasingly gotten worse the more mileage the truck gains ( currently 14k miles) i have called and talked to technicians about this and they ensured me that its normal. I've owned several trucks and i have never not been able to go over speeds of 55 without having terrible shakes and wobbles in my truck. Chevrolet needs to address this properly…

I bought the car three days earlier. The vehicle has 4800 miles on it. It is a certified used truck. I was driving on a curvy road on the side of a small mountain. While driving, i noticed the steering getting a little play in it, not much ever so slight. When i got to the 90 degree left turn, onto another road, i found i had lost the ability to turn the vehicle. The truck started toward the trees. I hit the brakes…

My silverado has developed a vibration around 4-5000 miles from new. The vibration starts around 60mph and increases in intensity up to and beyond 80mph, the legal speed limit in texas. The vibration can be felt throughout the cabin in the seats, center console, steering wheel, doors and gas pedal. On my last 3+ hour drive i had to stop midway because the vibrations gave me a headache. That's never happened in any…

The truck vibrates crazy at highway speeds. It's been into the shop 4 times for same problem. They keep trying to balance the tires. The problem persists no matter what the dealer does. This vibration could be a real problem.

The rack and pinion is making noise while turning the steering wheel. It is my understanding that due to the electronic power steering assist if it fails the steering will no longer work. I have seen many complaints about this same issue for these year model trucks and my truck only had approximately 40,000 miles. This part seems to have a high failure rate and is relatively expensive especially if it fails multiple…
