The touchscreen malfunctions intermittently. My vehicle currently has 36,687 miles and this problem has persisted for a while and is getting worse. It has been to the dealer several times and has been reprogrammed. The dealer now is telling me they don-??t know what to do. The problem is the touchscreen develops a mind of its own and it starts calling people of the phone contact list or my personal favorite is the radio turns itself on at almost full volume. At other times it tries to contact Onstar when not needed or it mutes the phone call. It-??s bad enough that I-??m no longer able to use hands free calling in my vehicle. All of these actions either scare you as it is not expected or they require you to take you-??re eyes off the road to shut off the radio, unmute the call, or to cancel the call. P.S. To me it does appear to be worse the warmer it is.

Transmission shifts hard into gear when slowing down and extremely hard when towing 2,000lb empty trailer, currently at dealership to have new torque converter and pump installed. Dealership stated no metal shavings in transmission they believe. When accelerating engine rpms increase while vehicle speed decreases. Stereo constantly disconnects from wifi when streaming music. Wifi will continue to work for other devices. Voice commands work 80%ish of the time.

As I was driving on a city street high speed limit all the sudden all the warning dash lights came on although the engine is running, I didn't understand it tried to slow down and had to apply a lot of pressure to the brake pedal. I did not understand it. When I stopped the lights went out. I turned off the vehicle with the key and started it again. A couple days later I remotely started my vehicle but when I got in and turn the key on the lights did not go off immediately as they normally do.

I bought my 2017 Chevrolet Silverado on October 2017. Not even one month after purchased I had to bring back the vehicle due to loud clunking noises and jerking. I had to bring the truck in at least 3-4 times a year due to the same problem.

I am concerned customers are not receiving their recall notices after being told customers receive their vehicles recall notices via email. Upper management at asbury automotive group gray daniels Chevrolet orders the overwriting of incoming electronically submitted internet leads (merging lot solds with electronically submitted internet non-solds overwriting everything keeps the non-solds email addresses), to embezzle ebe sfe money for corporate bonus's from General Motors; asbury automotive group gray daniels Toyota deletes customers email address and inputs fake or created email addresses to avoid bad surveys to win presidents award. Are my fears justified? new vehicle purchases

This vehicle, like many others of this same design, has had a vibration at highway speeds since the vehicle was purchase on 9-14-2017. It has been addressed by the dealer four times with the tires being the presumed issue. The vibration has continued even after different tires installed and recently the vibration caused the vehicle to begin to drift toward the edge of the roadway while travelling at 70 mph in a 70 mph speed zone in a curve that was not posted with a reduced suggested speed. The truck has currently been at the General Motors dealer in Delaware Ohio for eight days where they have verified the issue, have not been able to locate a cause and have notified General Motors for guidance. While researching this issue I have found that it appears to be a long term issue for this manufacturer that is not being addressed. Being a retired state trooper who has driven many many miles in his career, I feel this situation could cause a serious safety issue that could potentially cause a loss of control and contribute to injuries or worse to the vehicle occupants. Personnel at the dealership have confirmed to me that they have heard of this situation and that some trucks are absolutely perfect while others develop this continuing problem. This vibration begins at approximately 68 mph and continues to at least 76 mph and is felt through the seat, accelerator and steering wheel. I do have some of the "repair" documents but they are incomplete at this time.

When driving at night and shifting into reverse the tailgate camera activates on the dash display at full brightness effectively blinding the driver from seeing anything/any person outside the vehicle as he tries to back up. There is no way to disable or dim the touchscreen during reversing.

Vehicle radio display is too bright. Using the dimmer does still leaves the radio the brightest display inside the passenger compartment blinding the driver at night. The only option is to turn the display off which takes 5 separate inputs to the display control. Once the display is turned off any other input to the radio or heating/ac controls turns the display back on and requires another display input to turn the display off again.
