2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO Engine Problems

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while the contact's son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine and traction control warning lights illuminated. In addition, the vehicle momentarily lost control, however, the contact's son depressed the brakes and was able to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to the shoulder of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed with a failed lifter valve and the lifter valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 115,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost electrical power inadvertently. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact was unable to veer to the side of the road. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring while driving. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the dealer. The vehicle was taken to an independently certified GMC service center where it was diagnosed but no issues were found. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

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 HAVE A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 4X4 WITH 5000 MILES. WHILE DRIVING TO WORK ( LESS THEN 2 MILES) MY SERVICE 4WD SYSTEM WARNING CAME UP. THE TRUCK IS STUCK IN 4WD CAN NOT SWITCH IT OUT. ALSO WHILE STUCK IN 4WD TURNING IS VERY DIFFICULT. CALLED DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE IT IN. WHILE ON MY WAY TO THE DEALERSHIP STILL STUCK IN 4WD MY CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THE TRUCK STARTED TO SHACK AND SHIFTING AT RANDOM AND THE RPM WERE ALL OVER UP AND DOWN. 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.

VEHICLE HAS STALLED UPON INITIAL ACCELERATION AFTER A STOP. 3 OF 4 OF THE TIMES IT HAPPENED WERE AFTER A RIGHT HAND TURN. 3 OF THE 4 STALLS OCCURRED WHEN VEHICLE WAS COLD (NO CORRELATION WITH RIGHT HAND TURN).

FUEL LEAKING FROM ENGINE. WITH 9595 MILES ON THE ENGINE THE TRUCK LEAKS FUEL FROM THE ENGINE LIKE CRAZY. VEHICLE IS 6 MONTHS OLD. CAN'T GET CHEVY TO PICKUP THE RIG BECAUSE THEY SAY I NEED TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT - THE FIRE DEPARTMENT TELLS ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO - BEEN BATTLING WITH CHEVY ALL DAY ON THIS. ITS A SAFETY HAZARD CABIN SMELLS LIKE THE INSIDE OF A GAS TANK - I DON'T FEEL SAVE DRIVING IT ANYWHERE.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LTZ WITH A 5.3 LITER MOTOR THE RPM OF THE ENGINE ACT ERRATIC, IT WILL INCREASE AND DECREASE RPM AT WILL, I WOULD SAY THAT IT SURGES ABOUT 75 TO 150 RPM, IT ESPECIALLY DOES THIS GOING UPHILL. IT IS UNSAFE TO BE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT ACTS IN THIS MANNER BECAUSE YOU CAN'T CONTROL THE WAY YOU WANT TO DRIVE, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE ME THAT THIS IS NORMAL, WHICH I KNOW IT IS NOT NORMAL, GM NEEDS TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM.

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...

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...

I AM IN A SITUATION WHERE I BOUGHT A 2015 DIESEL TRUCK AND TWO WEEKS LATER IT BROKE DOWN OUT OF STATE IN COLORADO WHILE ON VACATION. WE SPENT THE NIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AS THE TRUCK WAS IN LIMP MODE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE OUT OF STATE DEALER PRESSURED US INTO GETTING THEIR NEW DIESEL TRUCK BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE DIESEL EXHAUST IN 9 HOURS WE WAITED AT THE DEALERSHIP STRANDED. THE TRUCK WAS 15K MORE THAN THE FIRST TRUCK BUT I AM UPSET THEY MADE US RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 1800 MILES ON THE NEW TRUCK THAT BROKE DOWN A WEEK AFTER BUYING IT! THE SECOND TRUCK ALSO BROKE DOWN A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER WITH THE SAME ENGINE CODES AS THE FIRST TRUCK. THIS IS APPARENTLY A DEFECT WITH THIS YEARS DIESEL AND WE SHOULD NOT BE PENALIZED. WE...

AFTER SITTING FOR TWO DAYS, I WENT OUT TO START MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TO DRIVE TO TOWN AND IT WAS DEAD - NO POWER, LIGHTS, HORN, IGNITION, NOTHING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABSOLUTELY STONE COLD DEAD. HAVING TWO DECADES IN THE CAR RESTORATION BUSINESS, I GRABBED MY BATTERY CHARGER AND HOOKED IT UP AND CHARGED THE BATTERY FOR 4 HOURS. ATTEMPTING TO START THE SILVERADO AGAIN RESULTED IN THE SAME THING - STONE COLD DEAD. I SWAPPED THE BATTERIES TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE STILL WASN'T POWERING UP. I LOOKED FOR BLOWN FUSES, LOOSE CONNECTORS, ALL WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER 106 MILES AWAY. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALER ADVISED IT STARTED RIGHT UP AFTER A JUMP START. MY REPLY WAS THAT IS SIMPLY INCORRECT AND I REPEATED THE STEPS I WENT THROUGH. THEY REPLIED THEY WISHED TO KEEP IT FOR A FEW DAYS....

THIS IS THE 10TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND 3RD TIME THE VEHICLE HAS ENTERED THE SERVICE CENTER. OWN A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB Z71, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT TURN OVER, INDICATING THAT THERE IS A THEFT DETERRENT ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR ERROR CODE. THE SECOND TIME SEVERAL ERROR CODES WERE PRESENT, WHICH THE DEALER RESET. THIS APPEARED TO FIX THE ISSUE, UNTIL 1 MONTH LATER THE ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE DEALER ON IT'S THIRD REPAIR ATTEMPT. THIS CAN BE VERY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE SINCE IN AN EMERGENCY NEED THE VEHICLE COULD BE INCAPABLE OF BEING DRIVEN.
