Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“My truck began with a notification that says service stabilitrak , over the course of 48 hours it went from on hard bumps and just the notification, to now constantly turning on. There was a recall for this issue with the ABS, but I have to pay the dealer out of pocket. They are currently doing the diagnosis on it to see what the issue is. If the issue matches the same ABS issue as the recalls for 2014-2018 models on the silverado, would there be a way to fight the charges? The warning notification and icon would light up when either stationary or moving at any speed. …”

“A rough clunk noise occurs when trying to stop, and car actually revs to accelerate speed when applying breaking and trying to stop. (in . Motion) this is a dangerous issue. Transmission does not appear to smoothly enter into subsequent gears. A jerk occurs in between shifting of gears. (moving) I have been completely stopped on a flat street, and relax my foot off the break, and the car wants to leap jump forward. This is not safe. (stopped) there are several reports of this issue found in online forums from other owners with the same 2017 chevy silverado. Just purchased vehicle in november.”

“I am requesting that DOT NHTSA investigate the extreme wobble/vibration/shake on new 2017 Chevrolet SILVERADO 1500. The vehicle was purchased new and driven under 55 MPH for the first 500 miles. After the first 500 miles and beginning to drive highway speeds, between 60 - 75+ miles per hour, a wobble/vibration/shake began to occur. …”

NHTSA complaint #11002069, filed 2017-06, 500 miles

“The ABS system failed when braking on a snowy, icy, slippery road locking all four wheels causing the vehicle to skid out of control. The brake light and ABS light and tcs icon were displayed. The brakes had to be released to regain steering control and judicious use of manual braking eventually brought the vehicle to a stop. The ABS pump motor was noted running continuously even with the engine off. Onstar diagnostics indicated a traction control system error. This braking failure occurred in conditions that the ABS is specifically designed to prevent loss of control!”

NHTSA complaint #11299661, filed 2020-01, 10,200 miles

“Our 2017 SILVERADO 1500 truck went into low power mode while driving on the interstate at 75 MPH. It started to run really rough and all of a sudden all the lights were flashing on the dash and it lost power. The light on the dash was flashing low power mode. Couldn't get above 35 MPH putting us in a very dangerous position with traffic flowing 70 MPH + had to try to maneuver off the interstate. Turned it off to reset it and it drove normal but the check engine light was on. Took it to the dealer and they said they had to reprogram the ECM. …”
