2015 Chevrolet Silverado. Consumer writes in regards to roof rail airbag inflators safety recall.

Luckily I was not going fast and was able to still stop but I have been driving the truck also when nothing was attached to my vehicle and I get that same morning trailer brake not attached in an error.

But it continues to happen they say replace this and it still happens replace that and it still happens there’s a major problem somewhere and I imagine there have been accidents due to this error.

wiring harness for vehicle is poorly design and is sitting next to hot engine block where the wires are melted and caused a short in the whole entire vehicle, all system is shut down when overheated, this means while traveling at any speed everything goes dead which is considered a highly unsafe situation.

The system that failed is the speedometer display and radio display while driving. This can be dangerous as I do not know the speed I am driving. This can also be dangerous as the display includes the screen for the backup camera that turns off without notice while backing up. The problem has happened many times in my 2015 Chevrolet Silverado. I have a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado for a company vehicle and the issue occurs in it, as well. I notified the GM dealership where both vehicles were purchased and they said the screen could be replaced but would be very expensive. No warning lamps or messages occurred. The screen jumps around a lot and occurs at various times (morning, afternoon, warm or cold weather, etc.).

for months i have been experiencing small issues at first, turn signal quit making noise, and then the radio quit working, this issue would only be corrected by turning off the vehicle, and restarting it, now the problem has gotten worse, tpms lights up on the dashboard the stabillitrack icon appears, and vehicle appears to stall momentarily and the radio goes blank, the most dangerous part is the electric steering wheel locks up, i have read several complaints online about this issue, and find no solution has ever been recorded, so far i have experiment this issue at low speeds and it is a interment problem that randomly happens

Seat belt recall for the 2015 Silverado (pretensioner cable)........Landers Chev in Norman, OK inspected and reports they handled the recall issue on 9/20/2016. On 8/2/2021, the pretensioner cable broke off (not under any stress). I called the dealer and also GM, and was told the cable was fixed back in 2016. I advised that a safety repair should last more than 5 years. Both told me that I would need to pay for the repair. Obviously, the original issue was either not fixed at all, or fixed with the same failing cable from the recall. That was not a FIX. There should be another recall.

Side rail airbag deployed knock me out and total my vehicle.

The power steering quits working for a few seconds then comes back on making it extremely difficult to steer vehicle..

Upper right hand corner of display screen can be unresponsive or, more frequently, select items on its own. It will select different radio stations, rearrange apps, and call or put calls on hold. Steering wheel display changes to radio tab on its own. This puts my safety at risk because I have to fight with the radio to keep it on a single station and take my eyes off the road to constantly take phone calls off hold. Problem occurred in presence of dealer mechanic and I have videos of the problem. I have taken this to the dealer and they were unable to solve the problem. No warning lamps to indicate anything wrong or preceded the incident. The problem began in July 2021.

The 2015 Chevy Silverado has a very common problem, which I am shocked has not been put under a nation wide recall. A manufacturing issue of placing the negative battery cable in the wrong spot, causes the dash, power steering, stability tracking and air conditioning to shut off completely. When braking, the dash shuts off and the steering wheel locks, which has sent me into oncoming traffic. My brother had the exact same year make and model of truck and had the same exact issue. When his needed to be fixed, he was told the same thing from the dealership. “The negative battery cable should have never been in placed in that position, but relocating it will fix the problem. Only, after replacing the battery it burned out as well. Here is the text I received from the dealership today. “Hey Brian, this is Matt @ Ken Garff Chevrolet, we have tracked the problem down on the truck to the negative battery cable. It has high resistance causing the electrical issues. Estimate for repairs $492 before tax. Reply STOP to OptOut.” It’s a very good thing they diagnosed the issue, since I told them what it was when I walked in their shop. I told them verbatim what they sent back to me. There are literally thousands of complaints online with the same issue. How does a manufacturing fault, that is most definitely a safety issue, become the consumers expense. This problem is much worse, and more dangerous than the recalls that are currently on the vehicle. How many accidents and how much consumer money needs to be spent, before a recall is placed on such a common manufacturing issue. Please let me know what needs to be done to get this taken care of, so more people aren’t in danger, or screwed into paying to fix a blatant error by the manufacturer.
