Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Activated remote start on vehicle. As I got into vehicle, my passenger noticed a burning smell and then saw thick smoke coming from rear window. I turned off the rear defroster and the smoke started to dissipate. My rear window then shattered. Gm recalled 159,000 vehicles in canada due to what seems like the same issue with rear defrosters. My truck was purchased in the united states.”
NHTSA complaint #11385177, filed 2020-12, 72,000 miles“My 2015 silverado has approx 80k miles and the AC blows hot. The dealership found the AC condenser cracked. I understand from reading many GM forums that this is an ongoing issue happening since 2014. Gm has known about the faulty design and still has yet to issue a recall or TSB. I have been quoted a price of 1200 dollars to fix a known issue.”

NHTSA complaint #11115227, filed 2018-08, 80,000 miles“Rear drivers side door says it's not latched but it is. Therefore the doors do not lock automatically and the dome lights do not turn off automatically. This could cause some serious issues as I don't know if the door is properly latched since it says this all the time. My children ride in the vehicle and this is a huge safety concern.”
NHTSA complaint #11103913, filed 2018-06, 38,000 miles“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 $153.00. How will I know if mold forms due to this? My truck was sitting in my driveway during the rain.”
