Brakes did not kick in when I tried to avoid hitting a car that slammed their brakes on in front of me. This caused an accident, in which I had $8000 + dollars in front end damage that my insurance carrier provided. I had to pay $1000 in deductibles along wtih $500 in rentals.
2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Traveling approx 30mph, on a city street, another vehicle turned left in front of me, I did not even have time to hit the brakes. Both the front driver and passenger airbag deployed but the driver seatbelt did not lock up. I came completely out of the drivers seat, my chest hit the airbag and my lower abdomen and upper thighs were bruised badly from hitting the steering wheel. I also had neck pain for 2 days afterward. I had a passenger in the front seat and that seatbelt locked, the passenger was not injured and only a little sore in the neck and back the next day.
Deer ran out in front of me I swerved and slide off the road into some trees main damage to the side of the truck but none of the air bags deployed, truck was totaled, shoulder is injured, rounding a corner at approx 35 MPH on a gravel road
Paint chipping out off nowhere.. Mini blemishes where paint is just coming off in spots no dealer assistance
2017 silverado paint chipping really easy around wheel wells. I have 8000 miles on the truck and probably have around 50 or more chips down to the primer. Contacted chevrolet they will not warranty paint chips. I have owned a 1999, 2007 and 2013 chevrolet silverado and never had this issue. I have also taken notice to other trucks years 2014 to 2018 having same issues some have no paint left at all vehicle maybe get driven on gravel about 500 miles a year really disappointed in the paint quality.
Electronic power steering suddenly and without warning shut off and I was unable to steer resulting in a vehicle collision and injuries requiring surgery. The vehicle was in motion when the eps shut off.
I have a 2017 silverado with 12,000 miles on it. East city driving and have hundreds of paint chips all over the vehicle. Gm says it's excessive but that paint chips are not covered u see warranty and is due to my driving conditions. There are other with same complaint online. Gm is ignoring their paint issue. They say epa regulations say they can't put on a good paint and clear coat and this is how their paint will be from now on
Paint is chipping all over all over, under 1000 miles.truck is driven on city streets and highway
West bound highway 44 before the railroad tracks. Female deer came out of nowhere and was hidden by the a pillar, drivers side, which obscured her sudden crossing. She hit the front, left, of the truck which caused the side-curtain airbags deployment charges on both driver and passenger side, to go off. Bags failed to deploy. The ensuing force from the drivers side curtain airbag plastic cover ejecting out, forcefully rammed into me, pushing me into the center console. Airbag indicator on the dash info screen immediately popped up as did automatic activation of the hazards. Upon coming to a stop on the side of the road, both driver and passenger side-airbags began to smoke. Smell is similar to black/gun powder which I assume the deployment charge is made out of. Taken by ambulance to hospital. Filed claim with insurance. Research this evening reveals a known problem with other airbags in the truck. The federal safety agency ref: the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v651000. I'm wondering if my issue is potentially symbiotic to this issue. Lastly, a check of any recalls on my truck via the mychevy app and the federal safety agency website, fails to indicate any recalls at all exist on the truck.
Bought the truck 16 nov 16 in idaho. Noticed at the end of jan/early feb '17 that paint chips/knicks were starting to appear all over the truck and in places where the only way you could see them was to the open a door (I.e. Not even exposed to the road). After making numerous inquiries to local gm dealerships, all of whom said it was sand damage, I started doing research. Turns out, I'm not the only person with this issue on their trucks. It appears the issues with paint on gm (both gmc and silverado) trucks started around mid to late model 2014 trucks and persists to this day (see attachments). Additionally, my local dealership here in reno, I have found out, has been lying to me; they told me they submitted two separate requests to gm for the truck to be repainted as they agreed with me (in-person and via phone) that something is wrong with the paint. It turns out, this is all a farce. The two requests they submitted stated, "customer has been advised to file a claim with their insurance as damage is caused due to sand damage. Customer insists dealership submit a claim to gm for warranty re-paint". Whilst I'm paraphrasing here, I was livid to learn this was 'their behind my back kind of thing'. Prior to learning about this shenanigan, I thought for a second that perhaps the dealerships could be correct, maybe it could be damage from driving. So, I took it to three separate repair facilities in the area and all of whom said the same thing, verbatim, "the clear coat is too hard, it's like glass. Factory defect". Well, that confirmed it. Lastly, I have just recently contacted the dealership from which I bought the truck (idaho). They advised me at 1352 on 23 may 17 to escalate this issue beyond gm. And that's why I'm filing this complaint folks. Do your homework before buying any new gm product.
