A lifter failed and caused an injector to fail and a push rod to bend. The truck has misfires on two cylinders now. The AFM system is a large issue known for 2014 and newer 1500 trucks as mine is a 2015. The truck is in need of a motor rebuild or replacement and the dealer I took the truck to for the work quoted me over $9000 for the work to be completed. The engine has less then 125,000 miles on it.

Rear window defrost caught fire. No noticeable damage to vehicle. On my twenty fifteen chevy silverado. Smoke filled the cab of the vehicle. There were no warning or messages to alert to this happening. I reported the dangerous incident to a dealer who told me to contact corporate. He said this is an issue but it was called a customer satisfaction program N192265660 rear window thermal event which yes it was my year but the safety issue which I was never aware of expired. He then told me to report it to NHSTA.gov. This is very dangerous and certainly should be a recall to befixed. Luckily I had started the vehicle in my driveway and was getting into it when it happened. It could have…

At 124,000, the transmission started slipping and not grabbing gears. Coleman Taylor Transmissions ended up having to do a full rebuild which costs about $4000. At around 20,000 miles, the vehicle started to shutter going 45 mph. The vehicle still does shake violently at 62-75 mph causing a safety concern. The brakes wont go if Ive been standing still for a long time like in a drive through or backing down a boat ramp. You have to stand on the brakes with both feet to get the vehicle to stop and thats only going 5 mph. We still own this vehicle and still have issues with it.

Vehicle: 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 (VIN: [XXX]). The factory Summit White paint and clearcoat are delaminating from the primer in large sheets along the roofline directly above the windshield header. This factory paint-bonding failure exposes raw primer and bare metal, compromising the structural roof seal around the windshield. Left unaddressed, it creates water intrusion and structural rust risks near the windshield header, posing a safety and visibility hazard. GM has denied goodwill assistance despite this being a known manufacturing defect. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I am filing this complaint regarding a serious engine lifter/Active Fuel Management (AFM) failure in my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The vehicle experienced a lifter failure that caused significant engine problems and created a potential safety concern while driving back from shopping: loss of power, engine misfire, severe shaking, ticking, check-engine light, stalling, inability to maintain speed, etc. The vehicle had approximately 200k miles at the time of the failure. The vehicle was inspected by a local mechanic, which diagnosed the problem as collapsed/failed lifter. The repair required/will cost approx. 3k or more estimated My concern is that this does not appear to be an isolated…
