Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The trucks have a vibration that is felt in the steering wheel, floor, seats, accelerator and brake pedals etc. While driving. The major consensus it that the worst speed it 76 MPH, yet it is felt to a lesser degree at any speeds, with some being worse than others. There are a large number of trucks with this issue, yet general motors refuses to do anything about it. It began within a couple weeks of purchasing my truck. I found people first reporting the issue in 2015, and more recently it continues with the 2015 and 2016 model years.”
NHTSA complaint #10850007, filed 2016-03, 200 miles“I was stopped at a red light and struck from behind by another smaller vehicle pushing me into a minivan in front of me. On initial impact, the drivers seat was dislodged from the mounting frame. When I hit the minivan in front of me, the airbags did not deploy and my shoulder seat restraint did not engage causing my eye to strike the steering wheel. I have nerve damage as a result of the seat belt not engaging and the airbags not deploying. The vehicle sustained enough damage, including frame damage, that it was considered a total loss. It was 6 weeks old at the time of the incident. …”
NHTSA complaint #10730149, filed 2015-06, 5,200 miles“Center console beverage holders, have two holes on hard plastic.these holes drain spill liquid from beverages to go inside console and causing mold grow and bad smell. Also causes that usb ports on console to short out and burn. These problem gets worst when owner lifts center console to seat a 3rd person in front of vehicle causing accumulated liquid to spill to back of console, where is impossible to clean. Without taking console apart.”
NHTSA complaint #10837720, filed 2016-02, 6,000 miles“The rear headrest of the crew cab are to small and do not raise up high enough to protect the head of anyone in the rear seat. There is also no center head rest for the rear seat. This is very dangerous and I wish I had realized before I purchased the truck. This is a major safety concern that needs to be addressed asap. At least offer us the option to purchase larger headrest for the rear seat.”
NHTSA complaint #10705468, filed 2015-04“I bought a 2015 chevy Silverado 1500 wt black out edition on 12/1/2015. Within a few weeks of driving truck and about 1000 miles on truck drivers seat has a major squeak and feels not sturdy. After many trips to dealer and replacing several parts, drivers seat remains same as of to date. At this point dealer says there are no issues reported on any other 2015 trucks in the us. Truck seat is unbearable to drive and could be a safety hazard. Truck currently has 4500 miles”
