This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Air conditioner blowing hot air.vehicle was in motion.I understand this is a common problem with Silverado.did research on line.cost over $1000 to repair.condenser failure (leaking)
The cabin of the vehicle fills with carbon monoxide. This is known because a 4 gas monitor in the vehicle read carbon monoxide levels in excess of 400 ppm. The source of the leak after being taken to the dealership was found to be a broken bolt in the exhaust manifold. The parts only estimate was $1,700 with approximately 9 labor hours. Online research found numerous complaints. Failure to correct the condition may lead to drivers fainting while driving and cause brain injury to a child or infant. A leak in the exhaust before reaching the catalytic converters also results in possibly excessive untreated emissions. The exhaust leak may or may not pose a fire hazard.
A/C compressor locked up while accelerating when driving on freeway going about 75 mph. I know you may not consider ac a safety factor, but when it's 110 degrees outside and your sitting on leather seats, how could that not be a safety concern?
The air conditioning condenser suffered a crack and leaked refrigerant requiring the entire condenser to be replaced. This is a widespread issue with this make and model. GM has offered extended warranty coverage on this defective part for other makes and models which use the exact same unit, however, they have refused to offer the same coverage to Silverado owners. A lack of A/C in the gulf coast region results in extremely high indoor temperatures which pose health and safety risks. Alternative solutions require driving with windows down which pose safety hazards due to reduced awareness resulting from substantial wind noise when traveling at highway speeds.
A/C failure due to cracks in condenser weldments. Ac starts blowing warm air, compressor cycles continuously, notice the absence of the cooling fan noise. Added one 12oz can R134A, 1 oz pag oil, brought line pressures back> ls-40-45psi/ hs>230-250psi, vent temp on max-38 deg. Lasts about a week.
It seems that my vehicle is leaking somewhere around either the sunroof or the xm antenna. I already had the leak around the third brake light which not only filled the lens up with water and kept blowing bulbs for my third brake light fixed. But from the research I've done it seems that a lot of different year and models of the Silverado have been doing so. But some how when it rains or I wash my truck or go thru a car wash I get water dripping from my headliner onto my heated seats, down behind my dash and water puddling up into my floorboard, on the drivers side. When the third brake light was leaking my whole rear floorboard would be completely soaked. The condensation on my windows would make it hard to drive and be able to see thru the windshield, the water dripping on me while driving was a distraction also and if I turned on my heated seats I sometimes would feel electrical shocks in my butt, and the fact that I have mold growing on top of my headliner and in my carpet makes my truck smell and I'm sure breathing the mold in isn't health for me or my 10 year old son. I took the truck to the local Chevy place and they won't fix it due to it having over 36,000 miles yet I have the extended warranty which doesn't cover this, my insurance company doesn't cover it either.
Apparently the A/C compressor issue is well known via GM yet it is not classified as a recall. We have two children under 5 who have to endure the heat until we find a place that does not try to rob us on something that is happening to every 2015 Silverado 1500. On any other basis this would be a recall, so why is it not? at the least, I figured GM would offer a discounted service for replacements. The parts for the 2015 body were already recycled parts so why such a steep price.
I have 60,000 miles and bought it new and today my ac goes out here is another 1000 dollars to repair the condenser I see there are a lot of problems with this year what can we do this is such a shame for the Chevrolet family we purchase appx 10 a year and this is what we have to look forward to my brother has a 2015 also and has replaced the condenser 2 times already when are they going to step up and take care of the customers!!?? not only that but I called young Chevrolet at 7:27am and spoke with the parts/service dept and they said take it anywhere not the Chevy Corp office is stating no after I already started the repair I cant be with out ac I have breathing issues and the hot Texas heat doesn't help they really need to get their act together!
I haven't used the A/C in my truck since last October (2018) approximately. Two weeks ago was the first time I've tried to use my A/C and it is only blowing hot air, as I was driving down the interstate. From what I've researched, this is an known problem with a lot of vehicles from GM from 2014-2017 and nothing is being done about it.this is not okay, whatsoever.
I have a 2015 Chevy 1500. It is my daily driver, (in Alabama) so when my ac stopped working I figured it needed recharged as I do use it quite often. Recharged it and it worked for 2 days. Then out again. So I recharged it and used the dye to see where the leak was located. Can not see where a leak is anywhere. My truck is just out of warranty. There are 1000's of complaints, why is nothing done? I understand that ac is not a necessity to some but with a 7 yo that has asthma, living in Alabama it becomes a necessity. Oh, fyi when your air not working neither does your defog. When driving home at night its so bad you cant see out of the window. I have almost wrecked 4 times bc of it. I did hit a dog bc I couldnt see it..... and to think all the 1000's of people having the exact same problem bc of a flawed design. You may want to take note before paying a lawsuit bc someone lost their life bc of something simple and known.
