I started bringing my truck in for service on vibration/ shaking and Radio issues at 370 miles, I now have 12,442 and have just completed my 6th and Final Repair Attempt with little to no change. There are other issues with the Transmission, Engine and Active Fuel Management System, again none have been fixed. I will be filing lemon law this week. Did I mention that GM commits fraud with their tires? Check your window sticker, if you paid for "upgraded All Terrain Tires" you likely got Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's, which is a Highway All-Season Tire per multiple tire shops, and even the mechanics at the dealers I've gone to. I contacted GM by phone multiple times regarding this, and got the following response "That is the tire that comes on the vehicle, there is nothing we are going to do".

We beat the heat with a thorough test drive

I find thorough test drives under the conditions I plan on using a vehicle are important as part of an evaluation process. Looking at a vehicle and its controls/features is not as engaging or informative as actually driving it and checking the performance of its features. For a full size, crew cab pickup, I found the Silverado to be exceptionally quiet at 80 mph cruising(quieter than a Tundra, F150 or Ram), with comfortable, secure/stable handling. It also demonstrated good off pavement ability and had a well appointed cabin. I especially like the size and layout of the full center console on the model we ultimately purchased(Z71 LT w/5.3 not LTZ), as well as the Bose audio. My spouse and I took the Chevy for a thorough test drive on a hot day, used the AC(including the vents for the rear) and sat in all seating positions, including the back. Since our purchase, other rear seat passengers have found the AC in my 2015 Silverado Crew Cab creates a comfortable environment and the combination of the front/rear heat/AC vents work well to cool both front and rear seat occupants. Our friends also have a 2015 Silverado Crew and their two grandchildren enjoy the back seat with no complaints. Can you say AZ heat? Enough of our experiences, take a thorough test drive and discover for yourself.

Transmission is junk, 2 trucks at same mileage went out due to overheating...Who would put a thermostat in a transmission? There should be a recall on this.. I've always been a Chevy guy but not anymore!

I absolutely love my Silverado. I did have a spark plug blow after only a few thousand miles, however that has been the only problem I have had.

A lot to like after driving for one year

I bought a 2015 Z71 LT crew cab short bed new and have enjoyed it. Interior is the best part of this truck. The cab is very quiet and comfortable. Crew cab has a lot of interior space and multiple USB and charging ports. Even with a short bed, this is a big truck with a 143 in. wheelbase, harder to park in urban areas. The biggest shortcomings to me are the electronics. You have to subscribe to On-star to be able to use the navigation. I just use my phone, but the blue tooth sync between my iphone and the vehicle is clumsy at best. It works, just takes some time. I have the 5.3l engine and six speed transmission. I have not had any shifting or hesitation issue with the vehicle, granted I haven't towed a lot. It does like to accelerate slowly in the 4cyl. mode but if you give it some gas it will still get down the road in a hurry. I have gotten 30 mpg over a 25 mile stretch, but that was on a dead flat country road with the cruise set on 45 mph. Most highway mileage is closer to 22 MPG. Like any truck, your fuel efficiency falls off a cliff if you go much over 60 mph. I have not had any reliability issues or problems after 18,000 miles and 1 year of ownership. There is a seat belt recall that needs to be fixed at the next service interval. Very happy with my purchase.
