2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 engine complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 143, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While slowing down to make a right turn the engine stalled and the electrical power was lost rendering the power steering inoperable. The loss of power steering created a dangerous situation where I almost hit a tree. Also there has been several occasions while driving on the freeway the electrical power stalled. Thankfully it was only for less than two seconds, but I can't imagine what would have happened on a busy freeway had it not been only a temporary loss of power. I read online that these problems are not uncommon. I have taken the truck to a Chevy dealer where they replaced battery cables they said had some resistance in them. It's been a month since the repair ($1300 later) was made and have not experienced any problem since. After experiencing these "power failers", there would be a message on the dash that would state "OPEN THEN CLOSE DRIVER WINDOW'
Lifters collapsed Got it inspected by a dealer Check engine light came on for a misfire
GM active fuel management has caused multiple collapsed lifters, bent pushrods and camshaft damage on 2 separate occasions costing thousands of dollars in repairs shortly after the factory warranty ended. 2015 Chevrolet Silverado with ecotec 5.3 liter engine.
The radiator is leaking and the transmission is making a clunking noise when shifted to reverse. The pickup has 48000 miles on it.
radiator leaking for unknown reason. No damage to front end or from under truck. I have been smelling anti freeze for about the past year but could not see any signs of any leaks until now. Still no sign of a leak on the ground but can see it on the bottom of the radiator support.
Thermostat cycling causing cracking in radiator. This is a factory problem that should absolutely be under warranty
Truck has 98,500 miles on it. Radiator is cracked and leaking, roof leaks when raining, electric power steering randomly jerks the wheel out of your hand and almost causes you to crash.
I estimate this has happened over 10 times. I lose all electrical power to the vehicle and the car shuts off, often this is preceded by loss of power steering and low speed. The last time this happened when pulling out into traffic; the steering kicked back, the truck lost all electrical power, dash went blank, radio dark, including loss of head lights, I will reiterate that this happened while pulling into traffic. This truck cost me over $40k new and I believe Chevy is aware of the problem, then simply don't want to cover the cost of parts and labor to fix. The dealership told me they had no idea what the issue could be, then I found several GM documents online. It appears this is a known issue, and they even list 2015 Silverado on documents. Bulletin No.: 18-NA-161 (The issues in this match exactly what I've experienced) also Reference Number:N172085440 Please help me convince Chevrolet to fix this issue or force them to do a recall.
for months i have been experiencing small issues at first, turn signal quit making noise, and then the radio quit working, this issue would only be corrected by turning off the vehicle, and restarting it, now the problem has gotten worse, tpms lights up on the dashboard the stabillitrack icon appears, and vehicle appears to stall momentarily and the radio goes blank, the most dangerous part is the electric steering wheel locks up, i have read several complaints online about this issue, and find no solution has ever been recorded, so far i have experiment this issue at low speeds and it is a interment problem that randomly happens
Air conditioner blowing hot air. Does not hold coolant when replaced or recharged
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle start to shake abnormally when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact repaired the vehicle himself by replacing the spark plugs and ignition coils however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not under warranty. No further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000.
My silverado has already had the software upgrade related to the previous vacuum pump/brake recall (n192268490). It initially helped, but now the brake pedal is again extremely hard to press at slow speeds, such as in traffic. You need to almost stand on it to stop. It appears that the deterioration is back where it was before the software "fix." I will be taking to the dealership this week and requesting a replacement of the vacuum pump under warranty or recall. I am beyond regular powertrain warranty at this point, but brakes seem like they should work past 80k.
Radiator is cracked. Same problem and same model radiator as is in the 2014 model of same vehicle. There is a recall for the same problem in a 2014 model but not 2015, like my vehicle.
My radiator is leaking with only 48000 miles on it. There has been a recall on the model years prior to and after mine, for the same problem. A radiator should not have cracks caused from a thermostat problem in this short amount of miles. It is a slow leak and I am going to have to replace the radiator before it causes other problems or gets worse.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact also stated she heard an abnormal sound coming from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer boucher chevrolet, inc. (1421 e moreland blvd, waukesha, wi 53186:(262) 347-4107) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the lifter on cylinder number 6 needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 56,000.
With only 79,600 miles the engine began misfiring. We took it to 2 independent mechanics and were told the lifters needed to be replaced causing $5600 in repairs. We were followed all the recommended oil changes and maintenance. After investigating it we discovered this engine failure was known to gmc as it has effected several other gmc truck engines manufactured between 2011 and 2014.
Reporting that gm is aware of leaking in the radiator, transmission lines and oil coolant lines but no recall is listed. I am now having issues with all three and having to replace them.
I have about 85000 miles on my car, I was driving to work and the engine light came up. The code for the engine light came up as p06da which most likely indicates a problem with the engine oil control solenoid (based on most of the videos and reviews on the internet). Unfortunately, gm never made a recall about this!! This problem costs about 3k to fix at the dealer.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 20 MPH, she heard an abnormal sound. The contact stated that several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that she saw white smoke coming from the rear of the vehicle. The vehicle was driven to her residence. The vehicle was taken to sliman's sales & service (7498 leavitt rd, amherst, oh 44001; (440) 988-4484) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 79,067.
My truck had an afm collapsed lifter failure. It occurred under a hard acceleration event to change lanes. The dealer replaced the lifter, returning the vehicle to me. I got down the road, tested it under hard acceleration and it happened again! This time there was a lot of internal engine noise, really loud. I asked the dealer if they ntested it under a hard acceleration; they did not. They replaced the #6 piston and the valves associated with the #6 piston. All work performed was done on #6, even the initial collapsed lifter. I picked it up again and again a hard acceleration produced misfires! I had it towed it back to the dealer and asked them if they had tested it with hard acceleration. The response was @ 3300 RPM. I told the service writer that, if you do not test it under hard acceleration you will not even have it misfire! He redid the test and voila, he can see it now! Technical resources told them to replace vlom, or "valve lifter oil manifold". I got it back and it does work, more or less. A hard acceleration will produce uneven acceleration but without the previous issues. I am working for now. I conducted some further research which I am probe to do and found an acdelco youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkly7xmmsos&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=iwar2zvzpvj6z6e3seljzgvxzeru8ptllkgpkqtfxmrsns7oqencolhrrgi_i. This video states that if you have an afm levent that involves a collapsed lifter you must replace a plethora of parts. That was not done. I have changed my oil on a more frequent basis than gm requires and I use amsoil signature series10w20, the best you can buy! I also use their ea0 filters which state you can go up to 25k miles or 1 year between changes! I typically do 10k miles as a high point. I have swicthed preferred dealers to get a different technical response...help!

Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that he noticed a small leak coming from the radiator. The vehicle was taken to jeff schmitt chevrolet south (125 s gebhart church rd, miamisburg, oh 45342) and it was stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The mechanic refused to look at the radiator. The contact reminded the dealer that tsb #: p1513f described the same symptoms as the issue however, the dealer stated that the VIN was not a match for the tsb. The contact stated that the issue was that the thermostat caused the radiator to thermo-cycle or quickly cool and heat up causing the radiator to leak. The manufacturer referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 59,680.
Air conditoner isnt working there is many complaits for cracked lines and faulty brackets
I was on a family trip with my wife and kids and the engine temperature raised and system said to idle engine until it cooled down. I was able to cool the engine down and get the truck home. The chevrolet dealer diagnosed a coolant leak at the radiator. Service bulletin pi1513f refers to this as being caused by a faulty thermostat which results in fractures in the radiator. "this condition may be the result of excessive thermocycles within the cooling system caused by excessive cycling of the thermostat. These excessive thermocycles within the coolant system may cause the tubes to fatigue, crack and leak at the radiator headers. To correct this condition, a new thermostat has been designed that eliminates the thermostats excessive cycling." the quoted cost to replace the radiator and thermostat at the dealer is $1800 gm has apparently extended the warranty to 100000 miles under a special coverage adjustment on the 2014 models, but not the other affected model years.
Often, when making low speed turns the entire engine and electrical system shuts off. There is no power steering when this happens and it's difficult and dangerous to try to coast to a safe spot to try to restart the vehicle. Generally, it starts back up again within a few minutes. In the three years that we've owned the vehicle, it has been to two different chevy dealerships more than once and both dealerships say there's no problem. It's frustrating that it seems to be a common issue yet there's no answer to the problem and no recall.
This is a follow up from complaint #11228752 regarding the AC issues on chevy &gmc pickups from 2014 thru 2017 year models. From research I did 98% of the failures was the condenser which also includes the transmission oil cooler. My condenser failed on the drivers side first 3 tubes below the transmission oil cooler as did my friends 2016 sierra and another friend's 2016 texas edition sierra. Same failure same location and between 60 & 75k. Repaired mine myself & my warranty paid me back for new condenser ($219) but not the freon or my labor. There's most definitely an issue on this part and saw no visible difference in the old/ new piece other than a 6'x 6' square of aluminum type flex pad in the upper left corner on driver's side. Similar to the 2018 models not affected by this problem.
Catalytic converter failed with less than 80,000 miles. The truck was taken to dealership, denooyer chevrolet, from which it had been bought new and by which it had always been serviced to remedy the check engine light prior to 80,000 miles with authorization to perform any diagnostic and remediation covered under warranty. Dealer did not make repair and advised it would cost me hundreds of dollars to even find out what was wrong. I now have taken the truck to a separate shop for diagnosis and was told a catalytic converter has gone bad. However, I am now slightly at 89,000 miles. Dealer is saying warranty on catalytic converts expired at 80,000 miles. Front brake rotors warped within the first year of ownership. A/c cooling coil cracked under 80,000 miles as well due to a faulty part, and apparently that warranty expired at 30,000 miles.
Rpms were rising above 6,000 without any power. Randomly while on highway, truck only had 112,000 miles on it and had to have a new transmission put in. And has had many other issues such as the lifters closing while on the highway and brake issues. The worst model truck ever made.
