2015 Chevrolet SS problems

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOSS POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND THE VEHICLE TEMPORARILY REGAINED POWER STEERING FUNCTIONALITY PRIOR TO THE FAILURE RECURRING. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT ALSO EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE AT START-UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLASSIC CHEVY SUGAR LAND (13115 SOUTHWEST FWY, SUGAR LAND, TX 77478, (281) 969-4132) WHERE THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE STEERING GEAR AND THE STEERING RACK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND A CASE WAS OPENED.

“The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet SS. The contact stated that the service air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the passenger’s side seat sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure informed the contact that the vehicle would be repaired at her expense, with a possible reimbursement. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.”

“Noticed a noise in the front suspension and took it in to dealership to get looked at. Dealership inspected and told me some internal component of the strut had failed and it wasn't operating correctly. I asked if I could just continue to drive it and they told me it could be a safety issue if I didn't get it fixed. My vehicle only has 39,000 miles and I found it very odd for this component to fail with such low mileage. After doing a little research, it turns out there are many reports of both the front and rear suspension components failing on these vehicle when they were not very old and had low mileage. I got it fixed and don't have the component in my possession. Dealership told me it was a safety issue. The component has not been inspected. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure.”

“WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS THE BRAKES STARTED TO SQUEAL ONLY WHEN WET OR COLD. I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IT'S A HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR THE BRAKES ARE GOING TO SQUEAL. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALER 4 TIMES REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND I'M TOLD THE SAME THING. THIS LAST TIME TALKING TO THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE I WAS TOLD THE ROTORS ARE BAD AND I NEEDED NEW SHOES. WE REPLACED THESE ITEMS AND OF COURSE THE BRAKES CONSTANTLY SQUEAL. MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR IN AND AGAIN WAS TOLD HIGH PERFORMANCE CAR GOING TO SQUEAL. THIS TIME HOWEVER AFTER 2 WEEKS THE ROTORS WHERE BURNT AND THE PADS CHIPPED. FURIOUS WITH THE DEALER I TOOK THE CAR TO ANOTHER LOCATION AND THEY HAD TO TURN THE ROTORS AND SAND THE PADS. THERE IS A DEFINITE ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR AS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. I GOOGLED THE ISSUE AND FOUND OUT THAT THE 2014, 2015 AND 2016 MODELS HAVE THIS ISSUE. THE CAR STOPS FINE BUT MY CONCERN IS THE ROTORS. IF THIS CAR IS BURNING ROTORS UP EVERY 10000 MILES WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T CATCH IT? THE ROTORS CRACK POSSIBLY BREAKING LEAVING YOU WITH NO BRAKES. I KNOW YOU NEED SO MANY CUSTOMERS TO…”

“THERE IS CURRENTLY AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE SEAT BELT CABLE ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAT CAN BECOME FATIGUED AND WORN OVER TIME AND CAN SEPARATE DURING A CRASH IF WORN THROUGH. ALTHOUGH THERE IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR THIS, CHEVROLET AT THIS TIME DOES NOT HAVE A PERMANENT FIX AND INFORMATION ABOUT A PERMANENT FIX IS NON-EXISTENT. THIS AFFECTS ME DIRECTLY AS I CAN NOT TRADE THE CAR IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE A DEALERSHIP CANNOT LEGALLY SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS COMPLAINT IS TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE AND TO ADDRESS IF THE TEMPORARY FIX IS SAFE ENOUGH TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE.”

“THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR AND I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AS SOON AS AN APPOINTMENT BECAME AVAILABLE. AFTER A FEW HOURS OF DIAGNOSIS, CHEVROLET SERVICE DETERMINED THERE WAS A LOOSE WIRE AND IT WAS REPAIRED. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT MY CAR WAS OUT OF SERVICE FOR TWO DAYS WHILE THE ISSUE WAS BEING DIAGNOSED AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I THINK THIS TYPE OF SAFETY REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER EXCLUSIVE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD.”
