First off the brakes have failed on me a bunch of times. I brought it to the dealer before the recalls started and they said it was normal. The problem got worse causing two low speed accidents with no damage but scary. Note i have two kids in the car. Been in for multiple recalls. One accident happened in a drive thru and one in my driveway. Both were front end collisions but no damage. Second the truck shakes at…

Air conditioning compressor had cracked. This is a known problem on these vehicles and gm does nothing about it. Im sure there are thousands of complaints. Truck is 3 years old with 50k miles. Fair to have to pay a $1,000+ for gms neglect? Please step in here, a lot of people are getting hurt by this. No recall has been issued and clearly it warrants one. Thank you for your time.

The a/c in my 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500 stopped working on 5/15/2019 i took the vehicle to the dealer on 5/16/2019 to have looked at. I was told that there is a pinhole leak in the condenser. I was charged 120.00 to have the problem diagnosed. The cost to repair was estimated at over 900.00 what upsetting is that i'm now finding out that this is a known problem that gm is totally aware of.

There was a hissing sound and smoke in the area of the rear power sliding window, i had read about this concern online and was able to shut my rear defroster off before it blew out the back window but not everyone is that lucky. Gm has a bulletin about a small water leak in the same area but does not acknowledge that it is related to the rear window shattering. The water leaks in directly onto the power components…

Transmission is jerky, and dealership says it's not safe to drive. Faulty transmission wiring harness and heat sensor. Truck has been at dealership for 18 days and gm has no estimate as to when the wiring harness will be available. I'm paying for a 50k truck and paying for a rental with no end in sight. Should be a recall, service tech at dealership told me the part was being 're-tooled'

While backing up at low speeds to hook up to a trailer on an incline or even backing up with to no trailer. Multiple times you lose the power brakes which is a severe safety hazard especially when backing up to something. Multiple times i've had to stand on the pedal as hard as possible to stop the truck from hitting the trailer. The pedal has the feeling of no power brakes. This happens at low speed which would be…

I have a 2016 chevrolet silverado. Once you get to 70-80 miles per hour it shakes pretty bad. I noticed others have experienced same things. They even named it the "chevy shake". I just wanted to file a complaint so it could be added to the list of others

I purchased a 2016 silverado lt leftover in feb of 2017 with 44 miles on it. I noticed a vibration while accelerating and deceleration and at about 70-80 mph.

Since putting on the new tires and wheels the problem is still there and i have had…
