Chevrolet Silverado 1500

"it would jam and not release the CD . took it to dealership, they were able to remove CD & told me it was a common problem,wanted a fortune to replace it. Bought a new one non OEM but have problems with inter face on rear camera and steering wheel controls. Was told its made to not interface with non OEM"

"Works intermittently"

"My info system on the dash and drivers screen will not stay on the set screen. It changes continually and is a terrible distraction. Mostly it wants to display the radio on the drivers info screen. Sometimes it goes to navigation and shows" no destination given". Usually within a few miles of driving, it has changed 2 or three times. It is a terrible distraction and dangerous. I have gotten accustomed to the trip screen that shows speed, trip miles, and mileage. I do know how to read the gauges!! But when the radio screen comes on nothing else on the drivers screen shows. I can stop and change everything back...but within a few miles or minutes it has changed again, and again, and again. It never goes back to the driver info screen unless I stop and change it back.The dealer said it should have an error code in the software....but they are not seeing any error. They are not finding a problem....so...they are blaming it on the driver....that would be me!! They won't drive it 3 or 4 miles to see what it is doing. So frustrating.!!"

"About 4 years after purchase, the radio screen locked up. This continued for about 8 months and self corrected."

"After a phone call hang's up the whole system freezes up and nothing works. I have reported it to the dealer and they told me to make an appointment to bring it in and have it checked out. Well after the vehicle is turned off for 15 to 20 minutes it re-sets and starts working again. Well whats the point of taking it in if they won't look at it at the time I have the problem because, they are just going to say we couldn't duplicate the problem when we checked it out. This has happened 3 time now"

"Display screen randomly freezes displaying a message saying, in effect, "It is dangerous to read this screen while you are driving" The only way to clear the screen is to 1) take your eyes off the road, 2) read the message, 3) locate the screen area where you are directed to clear the message, and 4) reach over and touch the screen to clear the message. So all this before anything else can be done with MyLink, and while your attention is taken off the road. MORE DISTRACTING THAN TEXTING!!!!"

"Could not change radio station, adjust volume, or switch inputs"

"Screen displays a warning message to not take your eyes off the road while driving, then freezes up until you take your eyes off the road and clear the screen. THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD AS THERE IS NO WAY TO AVOID TAKING YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD. Washington just passed a law prohibiting a drive from holding a phone while driving. This screen behavior falls into the same class of problems distracting drivers from their duty to watch the road. I have written to the state attorney general asking him to investigate and fine GMC for this driving hazard."

"Display unit went black while driving. Dealer had to replace it. It was a one time issue and your previous question regarding it did not have an option for one time failure."

"Display screen goes occasionally blank (resets) when on a call using bluetooth"

"I disconnected/reconnected the cables from the radio module behind the glove compartment to fix the issue."

"I'm constantly having trouble with the MyLink system being unable to read my USB device. Its like it was made with the cheapest 1980's computer components and unable to handle decent sized USB's - for 2015 that's not acceptable for the price paid."

"I'm constantly having to reinstall the device several times while operating the vehicle to make it be recognized - it seems the software has a number of bugs that don't allow it to easily recognize and keep the connection to the device."

"Several issues related to on board system. 1. It stores data but doesn't appear to have an overt means for me to delete and ensure there's no hidden information for a new owner to access. 2. The entertainment system seems built for the year 2000. It was antiquated rolling off the assembly line. Its better than what most vehicles had - but overpriced for what it does."

"This was explained in previous comments. Display screen went blank while driving. Dealer replaced it."

"Intermittent problems with displays, pairing, and touch screen that are extremely annoying and have not yet been resolved."

"The main display unit which includes the radio has had to be replaced twice. The first time was after a routine software/firmware update made it inoperable. This has been replaced again in the past 12 months having issues with the radio/voice commands"

"Died"

"Very bad backup camera video quality. Gps is not as good as a 125.00 magellan"

"The main communications module in the Radio/In dash Navigation went out. The vehicle was still in warranty. The entire module had to be replaced."

"Bluetooth fails to recognize previously registered devices"

"Every once in a while the Bluetooth will not connect to the truck. It will do that for several days and then reconnect after several attempts."

"Display system and radio/HVAC did not initiate twice on start up, I disconeccted battery pawer and system restarted. It went off one while driving in conjuction with instrumentation. I stopped and power cycled key, instruments and radio/displaysystem resterted. This problem was explained at the dealer, I was told there was a PCM? update coming, To my knowledge a update was never installed, thou I have not had the problem recently"

"Radio sound intermittantly doesn’t come on when engine starts. Turning off ignition and turning it back on starts radio playing."

"Several Recalls made because of software issues, turning causing the truck to stall and others that made the vehicle potentially dangerous to drive."

"Does not recognize speech well at all. I have given up using this feature"

"System went haywire - did not respond to buttons, screen contact or voice control - could not use any feature of the system. Required replacement of system to fix"

"The compressor stopped producing pressure on the high side and thus wouldn't cool the interior."

"AC wouldn't cool cab. Dealer fixed at my cost."

"Went out in March or so. Dealer replaced it."

"Stopped functioning. Took to dealership. They found a crack. Repaired it"

"Leak. They said it was lines. Took it back 2x. Extended warranty to pay for it less deductable. Thought service was terrible"

"not much to tell - AC stopped working, went to dealership they said it was the compressor . $1300 bucks and a day latter I had working AC again"

"CONDENSER WENT BAD. Should be a recall .There many other Silverado that it leak in the same place."

"The compressor exploded."

"Condenser had a leak one week. $1100+ Compressor switch went out and entire unit replaced the next week. $400+"

"As previously stated, the system seems to disregard the temperature set. Will allow air flow from vents that should be closed"

"Does not properly cool on hot sunny days"

"The condenser developed a hole in it which leaked out all the coolant. I had it worked on by a mechanic who put colorant in the line and there was no leak shown in the line so he put coolant in it. I drove it two days before it started venting hot air again. The mechanic looked at it again and pulled the condenser. There he found a small leak, so he installed a new one and filled it with coolant again. It's working great now. Cold air is important in the South!!"

"split open"

"Design flaw caused crack in condenser. $1000 cost"

"The condenser and compressor went out this year. less than a year after purchasing used with 120k miles. also all the refrigerant had leaked out."

"Condenser leak. replaced under warranty"

"Just as the truck approached 36,000 miles, and I had owned it for 3.5 years, the A/C stopped working. The dealer confirmed that the condenser needed to be replaced, but stated it was out of warranty, so I had to pay $1,200 to fix. I was very frustrated, especially when I read online and found I was not the only person with this issue on a similar GM Vehicle."

"A leak which cost $1100."

"Condenser was back ordered for two months which meant I had no air conditioning during the summer months."

"Heater control - unable to defog windshield and did not heat the foot area"

"Heat is set at 70, will fluctuate from 50 to 140 according to the heat sensors placed at the defroster outlets. Goes up and down at will. They are still trying to tepair it"

"Bad hose fitting. Took 3 mechanics to find it and fix it"

"Stopped blowing cool air. Needed a couple of seals and a hose replaced. Works great again. $1,000 fix though"

"REFRIGERANT HOSE BLEW - REPLACED"

"AC slowly began to not cool well. Dealership advised that the condenser was leaking and the unit was replaced."

"Dealer installed a new part in the transmission to illuminate shifting problem"

"Hard shifting"

"Transmission is clunky. They tried to reprogram but still disappointing"

"Often seems unsure of shifting. Often hear and feel a "clunk" when shifting"

"Dealer said that it was caused by the tolerance buildup in the 6 speed transmission and that there was no problem"

"Clanking noise in transmission when shifting at low speeds(in town driving). It is an intermitting problem"

"The truck never had ready power. I would have to floor it to get up speed quickly. I was told this was a common compalint with the 5.3 6 speed."

"When shifting in drive from reverse it is rough"

"6 speed transmission is regularly searching for best gear. Also, multiple occurances where felt like someone rear ended me when it was transmission."

"Had to reprogram transmission 3 times. Finally had to replace torque Converter."

"not always but a lot of the time, very rough shifting, mostly up shift and sometime down shift."

"The transmission in this truck is an 8 speed automatic that shifts very hard and makes a popping noise from time to time and the CHEVROLET dealer said that he can't fix that problem because all 2015 CHEVROLET 1500 8 speed do this. I looked on the internet and find that he is correct. Other owners have the same problem!"

"8 speed transmission. Rough shifting at times. Dealer corrected using a GM TSB."

"Noticed this problem, took it to dealership took several trips and guesses to be diagnosed."

"This truck has had transmission problems from the first day!! It is suppose to shift from 8 cylinder to 4 cylinder to save fuel. What it does is stops and crunches and they bumps into the next gear. CHEVROLET is aware of the problem and says they are working on a fix,but as of right now they are not doing anything to fix it!!! I have taken it in to the dealer and left it several times and the problem has not been fixed, There have been several software updates that have not helps. I know several people that have traded this vehicle before the warranty expired because of this problem. Unfortunately, I can't afford to trade....so I guess I am stuck with it."
