Coolant water keeps spilling from water pump. As I was driving on the freeway, the pump blew and spilled all the coolant and had to pull over to the side. Had to get it replaced paid $150 for the part and than labor another $150. Truck has less than 30k miles and the water pump already breaking down. New vehicles are now designed to break on you easily so us customers spend more on parts and labor.

Purchased this vehicle from a used car dealership 2 months ago. Now the transmission seems to be going out with 132,000 miles on it and funny noise from the transfer case. I have researched and found numerous complaints about the drive train on this vehicle and as a disabled veteran I don't have the funds to have it fixed. How can I get a recall in place for this issue?

I purchased this truck new in november of 2018. It had 4 miles on it. My previous truck I owned for 10 years. A 2000 GMC sierra, which I maintained meticulously. I sold it 452k miles on the original engine. Since I purchase the truck the transmission has shifted hard especially at low speeds. I won't write a review exactly like all the other transmission reviews, but they are same problems I am having. Gm needs to rectify this issue due to the number of unsatisfied customers with a sub par product. I could have bought any truck I wanted, and I unfortunately bought a silverado with a transmission that doesn't function the way a newer one should. Aside from the mechanical issues it causes, it is extremely embarrassing with passengers in the truck. It never fails, they all say the same exact

The rack and pinion is not working on the power steering - Chevy wont cover because the truck has been lifted. The truck was lifted the day truck was purchased and it only has 5196 miles on it. Took it to 3 lift shops and all said nothing is wrong with the lift and their own lift person said the lift was done perfect.

Squeaking noise under box. Dealer took 2 months to get a replacement leaf shackle for left side. It did stop the noise. My transmission has a hard shift in gears when taking off and coming to a stop. Transmission seems to hang up shifting from low gear t a higher gear and does the same when coming to a stop. Seems to be getting worse. New truck, now has 21,000 miles but worst investment I have made switching from a foreign truck back to made in america. This hard shifting takes place when starting off or coming to a stop on any highway or street.

The local Chevrolet dealership where the vehicle was purchased replaced the vacuum pump under warranty due to weak vacuum.
