The third brake light on my 2015 1500 Silverado leaked into my headliner. Now there is a brown line all the way across my headliner above the rear window. Even the service guy at Chevy said it wouldn't leank anymore. He has had quite a few trucks come through with this issue. The fix was $153. How will I know if mold forms due to this? my truck was sitting in my driveway during the rain.

The truck has a constant vibration about 45 mph and increases with frequency as speed is increased as well. Passenger seat shakes and can be felt through entire vehicle. Tires have been replace multiple times with no correction.

Within 6 weeks I had to replace 3 tires on my truck. I still had 4/32 of were left on these tires that only had approximately 27000 miles on them. I ended up buying a forth tires and had the tires balanced for another hundred dollars.I have all the receipts and I am looking for compensation for inferior tires that were on the truck when I bought it. Chevrolet quality was not there on my tires. This happened over a 6 week period starting 10/20/2017 to 10/28/2017.
Brake pedal gets very hard when driving at slow speeds and in reverse. Makes a ticking sound like the anti lock brakes are kicking in but no dash lights illuminate. Almost rear ended a vehicle travelling 25mph but was able to pull in a parking lot to avoid collision. Truck has 79xxx miles
My truck only has 42,000 miles on it. Over the course of 3 days I noticed the air conditioner go from blowing cold air to blowing warmer air until it no longer was cold. The dealer inspected the system and said the ac condenser needs to be replaced. Since it is out of warranty, it will cost approximately $1,300 to fix. The part is on backorder for at least 3 weeks. The current "feel like" temperature in Florida is 106 degrees Fahrenheit outside. That would be a long time to go without A/C without a loaner from the dealer, which the dealer did offer.
At approximately 45K miles, truck began to shake at 70 mph. Issue only occurs on highways/interstates where 70mph can be driven safely. Now has 52K miles. Dealer had accessorized truck with oversize wheels/tires & lift kit. I bought it this way. Was smooth until about 45K miles. My tires are still good, but I will replace before 60K miles internet searching revealed much information regarding "Chevy shake" issue with GM full size trucks and SUV's. I believe mine is affected by the 'Chevy shake' mystery problem. Will be taking to dealer for regular service 7/21/17 and advising them of this issue. They will likely blame it on aftermarket equipment/suspension/wheels/tires, even though the dealership accessorized the truck when new through a specialty shop. I bought warranties that supposedly cover all of the truck, even the stuff dealer had the specialty shop put on it.
While using a spare key to my 2015 Silverado for the entire day, and driving over 70 miles, the "anti-theft" warning light suddenly came on. I continued to drive approx. 10 miles with the light on and while turning off a busy road, across on-coming traffic, the truck completely shut off. No steering, no forward movement, nothing. It virtually went dead! I was able to put the truck in park and try to start it again (thank goodness no traffic coming through at the time). After several attempts it started again and I began to drive around the corner to my home, where it completely shut off again, in front of my driveway. Had it towed, as I was nervous about driving it again. The Chevy dealership service department was unable to conclude what happened. They tested it with the spare key, and still no sign of any trouble. I am reluctant to drive this truck.
The 2015 Chevrolet Silverado K1500 high country vibrates and makes a loud humming noise at various speeds beginning at 20 mph up to approximately 60 mph. The vibration can be felt through the seat and steering wheel. The frequency and sound level is not dependent on speed, load or road conditions. It's always there. I'm taking it back to the Chevrolet dealer again tomorrow for another round of attempted repairs. At first the dealer said the vibration and noise was normal. After showing them a copy of the GM service bulletin ' pi1354C, they now admit to a potential issue. Still not solution.
Air conditioner started blowing hot air. Took to dealer they found a weld broken loose on the top left corner of the condenser causing a leak. Currently GM condensers are on back order. Due to the overwhelming problem nationwide. They charge me to refill the system with freon (or equivalent), 24 hours later it has leaked out and is blowing hot air again. Dealer guessed 3 to 6 weeks before they would get the replacement part in. Truck has 68,000 miles with cost going to be $1300. We also have a 2015 Chevrolet Suburban with 74,000 miles on it that had the exact same problem. Cost $1300 to fix.
Truck shakes while traveling on the highway. It isn't noticeable on side streets in the city but when traveling on a major highway the entire truck shakes sometimes at lower speeds but always above 70-75 miles per hour. It shakes so violently that a drink in the console will shake out of it's container. I've had it in the shop 4 times but the Chevrolet service center cannot fix it. They have balanced and replaced tires but cannot fix it. I feel it is unsafe or could lead to damage rendering it unsafe.
I bought a GM certified Silverado with 20000 mile on it. And the idle vibration and drive vibration are so bad it gives me headaches after driving for any period over an hour. The dealer says this is normal and they are nuts if this is normal. I have contacted Chevrolet. But after researching online, there does not seem to be a fix. My truck is unsafe! Chevrolet needs you fix these problems.
I own a gray 2015 Silverado and the paint is flaking off on numerous spots all over the vehicle. The flakes are the size of a pin head and appear to be mainly around the grill and front of the vehicle.
My truck had approximately 10 miles when I purchased it in Dec 2014 and has been in the shop pretty much ever since. Immediately after purchasing the vehicle, I felt a very substantial vibration around 76+ mph. Initially, 2 tires were replaced and balanced; that did not correct the problem. Then the dealership indicated that GM said I have to put 500lbs in the back of the truck and the vibration will stop; this is not even remotely practical. Subsequently, the tires have been rotated and force balanced several times throughout the past 2 yrs. In June 2016, the dealership stated the problem was that the tires were mounted on the rims incorrectly and replaced all four tires and balanced them; the vibration continued. After trying to schedule another appointment with the dealership over the same issue, they will no longer call me back. I have attempted to schedule an appointment at least 8 times within the past month to no avail. Several people have indicated the problem is quite possibly the drive shaft B/C the entire truck vibrates while driving down the road. Therefore, I took my vehicle to another dealership where they told me I need to rotate and balance the tires. After discussing the history of the truck with them and requested the service dept. Check the drive shaft, they stated the service manager said it is not the drive shaft (which was not inspected to my knowledge) and told me the tires need to be forced balanced and they could not help me. This dealership referred me to another dealership for assistance. I have been fighting this issue for almost 2 years now and cannot get help. Further, neither of the dealerships have made me aware of the bulletin and have not tried anything past the replacing & balancing the tires. The vibration is so bad other things in my truck are starting to come loose and vibrate.
