WHEN DRIVING A MESSAGE ON MY INFORMATION CENTER POPS UP WHICH STATES THAT TAKING MY EYES OFF THE ROAD CAN CAUSE A ACCIDENT,ECT. THIS MAKES ME TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO SEE IT AND AGAIN TO DELETE IT. SO THIS IS A HAZZARD. GM SAID THERE IS NOTHING IN THE OWNERS MANUAL ABOUT IT , AND ENGINEERING THINKS THAT IT HAPPENS WHEN I TOUCH A BUTTON ON THE INSTURMENT PANEL WHEN DRIVING. BUT IT HAPPENS TO APPEAR WHEN IM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAVE NOT TOUCHED ANY CONTROL BUTTON. , THIS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION. SINCE I CANNOT DUPLICATE IT BECAUSE IT HAPPENS AT RANDOM, WHEN IT DOES OCCUR AGAIN I WILL TAKE A PICTURE OF IT. THE MESSAGE WILL NOT CANCEL ON ITS OWN AND BLOCKES EVERYTHING ON THE MESSAGE CENTER UNTIL I MANUALLY SHUT IT OFF
HAD BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SHAKING/SHIMMYING/SPUTTERING. WAS PULLING ONTO A COUNTY HIGHWAY OFF OF A RESIDENTIAL TYPE ROAD (AFTER PICKING UP GRANDDAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL - SHE WAS IN TRUCK) AND TRUCK BOGGED DOWN & WOULDN'T GO. INTERSECTION IS AT TOP OF HILL AND AROUND A CORNER. WAS CLEAR WHEN I STARTED PULLING OUT, BUT WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRUCK BEFORE I GOT MY TRUCK TO GET ON ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. HAS BEEN IN SHOP TWICE TO FIX IT. FIRST TIME TO DOUBLE TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT DIDN'T WORK. NEXT TIME A FEW WEEKS LATER, A TECHNICIAN HOOKED UP A COMPUTER TO MY TRUCK SO HE COULD MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS WHILE RIDING WITH ME. HE FELT THE ISSUES AND SAID HE SAW SEVERAL PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP ENDED UP REPLACING TORQUE CONVERTER. ALSO REPLACED VLOM MANIFOLD - WHATEVER THAT IS? THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON WORK ORDER. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I BELIEVE THERE ARE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS TRUCK'S TRANSMISSION ALREADY. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

CAMSHAFT LIFTER FAILURE (COLLAPSED / STUCK), #1 CYLINDER AFTER ENGINE WAS IDLE FOR ~5 MINUTES. VEHICLE HAD 9701 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A RELATIVELY COMMON ISSUES WITH REGARDS TO THE ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ON LATE MODEL GM VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY. THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP NOTED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN SEVERAL VEHICLES IN FOR SERVICE WITH THE ISSUE OF A "COLLAPSED" OR "STUCK" LIFTER REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. THERE IS DEFINITELY A FLAW IN THE DESIGN OR THE GRADE OF MATERIALS BEING USED AS A LIFTER SHOULD NOT BE FAILING AT THIS RATE WITH VERY LITTLE USAGE.

I GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND CHECKED IN THEY TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE WHILE I WAITED. AFTER WAITING 4 HOURS THEY TELL ME THE ENGINE HAS ISSUES THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT OR WHY AND THAT IT WILL BE A FEW DAYS BEFORE THEY WILL KNOW ANYTHING. SO THAT WAITING GAME BEGINS.

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 SILVERADEO ON 7/24/15 AND AT ABOUT 700 MILES OR SO I NOTICED A BAD VIBRATION AS THE TRUCK WAS IN MOTION, TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER CAUSE I WAS VERY UPSET IT BEING AN $56,000.00 TRUCK AND ALL. THEY WANTED ME TO LEAVE THE TRUCK OVERNIGHT AND DID NOT OFFER ANY VEHICLE TO DRIVE SO I DID NOT LEAVE IT WITH THEM. SO I TOOK THE TRUCK TO RATFIELD TIRE AND HAD THE TIRE'S BALANCED,ALL 4 TIRE'S WERE OUT OF BALANCE, WHICH I PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET MYSELF NOT GM.... THIS DIDNOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF THE SEVERE VIBRATION GOING DOWN THE ROAD. I THEN TOOK THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALER FOR THE VIBRATION, THEY TEST DROVE IT AND CONFIRMED THE VIBRATION, DID A ROAD FORCE BALANCE ON ALL 4 WHEELS, THEN REPLACED ALL TIRE'S, THIS ALSO HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM,THE TRUCK IS STILL VIBRATING, THE ENTIRE SEAT JUST SHAKES, I AM PRESENTLY WAITING ON ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH DEALER. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME HIMSELF AFTER REPLACING ALL 4 TIRE'S THAT IT FELT LIKE A BALANCE ISSUE INSIDE THE MOTOR WHICH THERE IS NO FIX, NOW THAT IS CRAZY...I FELL THAT THIS TRUCK SHOULD BE REPLACED OR MY MONEY BACK ENTIRELY.THE TRUCK ONLY HAS A LITTLE OVER 2000 MILES CAUSE IT MAKES ME SICK TO DRIVE IT....

OCTOBER 31, 2014 ON MY HOME FROM WORK I HEARD A BANG. THE TRUCK PULLED VERY HARD TO THE LEFT TAKING ME INTO THE CONCRETE BARRIER THAT DIVIDES THE HIGHWAY. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION US HIGHWAY 41/45 65 MPH. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS INVESTIGATED AT THE DEALER TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE ON THE DAMAGE IT WAS DISCOVERED THE LEFT REAR AXEL WAS BROKEN. QUESTIONING THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOT GETTING ANYWHERE I TALKED TO DIFFERENT MECHANICS THAT I KNOW AFTER A WEEK OR SO IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS A RECAL FOR INSUFFCIENT HEAT TREATED REAR AXLES TALKING TO THE DEALER AND I WAS TOLD THIS DID NOT PERTAIN TO MY VEHICLE AS THE RECALL WAS TAKEN CARE OF AT THE FACTORY. I CANTACTED CHEVROLET AND WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE I HAD GIVEN THE OK FOR THE DEALER TO MAKE THE REPAIRS. MY INSURANCE COMPANY WOULD NEED TO FOLE PAPER WORK AGAINST CHEVROLET WHICH MYSELF I BELIEVE IS WRONG . I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER BROKEN AXLE WAS TYPICAL OF THIS KIND OF IMPACT. THERE IS NO DAMAGE ON THE SIDE PANEL OR REAR OF THE TRUCK I DO HAVE PICTURES ON MY PHONE WHICH I HAVE NOT DOWNLOADED TO MY COMPUTER.

MY DOG WAS LACERATED VIA THE REAR BOTTOM CORNER OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WHEN HE RAN BY IT. NOT QUITE SURE WHY THE DESIGN WOULD COME TO SUCH A POINT. A TRIP TO THE EMERGENCY VET, STAPLES, ANTIBIOTICS, AND $$$ LATER HE IS NOW AT HOME RECOVERING.
