Engine power reduced error pops up and and basically kills any ability to accelerate. This has happened multiple times including twice at interstate speed and few times under 45mph. If this were to happen while crossing an intersection, railroad, etc., the vehicle would be a sitting duck.
Air condition coil leak which is a common problem but no recall on Silverado, but on Tahoe. This is the same part and same issue, so why is there not a recall on the Silverado? I would like credit for the $1300 replacement cost I paid.
While slowing down to make a turn, usually always using turn signal, my truck will completely shut down in the middle of the intersection with no warning.

Luckily I haven't been hit by another vehicle while trying to restart my truck in the middle of the intersection had to jump out car so I wasn't in side if hit finally cars stop honking I jumped back in and started up again I was scared had my children with

The engine has a ticking noise like a lifter out of adjustment. I'm told this is normal its a ticking fuel pump for the fuel injectors. I think GM is better than that and can figure out how to quite it down. If there engineers can't figure it GM should consider finding some that can! the next time I buy a GM product it will need to be quite if not I'll brake a family tradition for 80 years and buy another brand.
While parked over night in the garage the sabilitrak light was on and service trailer system. Truck wouldn't start so I jump stared he truck. That worked twice though out the day and on my last drive while I was reversing the steering wheel was pulled from my hand and the 'stabilitrak' light came on! finally while parked before my truck engine wouldn't turn over the 'stabilitrak' light came on again and 'service trailer system' I've never used my trailer system. My truck wouldn't even turn over 'crank'. I had to tow my truck home and I'm just happy that the steering wheel wasn't pulled from my hand with my two kids with me in the road!

Takata recall-I was in a wreck 12-24-2017 and I was hit from behind. The bed of my truck was hit so hard by a distracted driver while I was at a stop light, that it twisted up and hit the cab of the truck. My airbags never deployed and my seatbelt never locked up. I am severely injured and am still seeking treatment for my injuries. It was over $11,000 in damages. The truck now down shifts and it sounds likie the bottom is dropping out. It also shakes when at highway speed.
Coolant level drops in reservoir. Strong smell of coolant coming from engine compartment. Periodically a white cloud emits from under hood outwards from front of vehicle. Service center has preformed pressure test, dye test with no findings. Orange discoloration on hood liner above reservoir cap. Have replaced cap. Still coolant level dropping. (not severe but slight)
Transmission problems. When reversing up a driveway the truck will stall as the gas is pressed it will rev up but not go anywhere, then jump into reverse as if the petal was floored. Also some times when entering the highway the transmission doesn't shift into the correct gears also jumping into gear which could cause accidents.
So due to known issues with the yolk on the differential, the lag in the transmission shift and engine communication leads to extreme vibration at highway speeds and clunking and jerking while driving around town. So when the transmission shifts there is a delay in the motor recognizing it so it revs up some so when the transmission finally finds the gear it causes it to kick. And since the yolk has play in it, it causes the differential to clunk as the rotation of the driveshaft catches up at a quicker rate. Which leads to more looseness in the yoke and creates a wobble in the driveshaft. And an unsettling sound while driving around.

Service# pip4112Q 2015 Chevrolet Silverado. 10,000 miles. During acceleration at low speeds while turning or changing lanes vehicle hesitates and sag. Result of torque management. Safety concern with turning into traffic. Manufacturer states working as designed and failing to respond with repair/recall.
Please see attached documents pertaining to vibration issues, emergency brake cable being cut and U-joints oozing grease. Also have numerous videos on the vibration issues like many others.
Camshaft lifter failure (collapsed / stuck), #1 cylinder after engine was idle for ~5 minutes. Vehicle had 9701 miles at time of incident. This appears to be a relatively common issues with regards to the active fuel management systems on late model GM vehicles equipped with this technology. The service writer at the dealership noted that they have seen several vehicles in for service with the issue of a "collapsed" or "stuck" lifter requiring replacement. There is definitely a flaw in the design or the grade of materials being used as a lifter should not be failing at this rate with very little usage.
