Chevrolet
Reviews and Complaints

I have a 2021 Chevy Colorado and my concern is the xm radio station and the rest is brightly lit. The song and the artist is very very light. I have been to the dealer twice and told Normal. Hard to believe. Called Chevy and XM radio. XM blamed Chevy and Chevy and they said go to the dealer. Time to get off the merry-go-round please.

Thanks

In 2015 I purchased a new Suburban from Portsmouth Chevy. At the time they sold me a $1325 Extended Service Plan for 7 years or 100, 000 miles. I tried to have a item fixed and it was denied by the First Extended Service Corp and they said it was Portsmouth's problem. They quoted sections of the contract that are not on the original contract. Do not buy from them.

Hi,
I ordered my Camaro in February 2021. Because of the chip shortage, it has been delayed. Ok, no problem. However, there have been at least 5 changes to the ETA since then and now the car is completely built and put in a lot awaiting the chips.

This car will be delivered to Florida. I live in Connecticut. I have planned a special trip to visit family and drive back. It is Summer and many friends and family are planning around this particular plan... This is ruining my summer. Things are being held up because I keep thinking it will be ready any day now..

If Chevy would give a realistic time frame I could at least plan around that. If this will be available by Christmas that would be fine, but just please tell me this. Why the big mystery? There is no way you can tell me that they have no idea when this will be ready. I am sure they have an idea, a ballpark, a guesstimate... something!

My problem here is the courtesy, not the delay. They should be telling people the information. Waiting on pins and needles thinking it will be ready any day now is unforgiving if the reality is more like a few months from now. What happened to common courtesy and customer service? I feel like Chevy is just a money machine and nothing else.

Is this the correct way to treat your customer base or am I off-base here?

My VIN is: 1G1FC1RS2M0138097

I would really like a realistic time frame for this.

Thank you.

I bought a 2013 For fusion with warrenty and gap insurance. Dealership lied repeatedly that Missouri tags would be received by mail in 2 weeks. Them stated were mailed to wrong address. After numerous phone calls speaking to sales manager, tags department, and others at dealership was told they were charging us another 800. To get the tags and we now had to get the car inspected in Missouri after they knew I was going to be in Missouri right after I bought the car and could have done it then. Temp tag expired and they issued another one after continuous communication and refusing to pay them any more money. They lied about the inspection and tags for over 2 months. Finally the tags showed up in the mail. The vehicle itself has no air conditioning, and there is something wrong with the transmission we were originally told was the ecoboost motor. We had to wait weeks to get the car in to be evaluated as they told us they had no rental cars and was going to have to go through enterprise for a rental, but then said if we could bring the car in a few weeks, which was today at 3pm, they would have a car for me to drive. After arriving we were told they did not have a car for us, and after calling the sales manager out on the continued communication and using a curse word, was told to leave so he did not have to take responsibility for his own negligence throwing the cheverolet customer service section under the bus stating they don't know what is going on and know nothing because they are not at the dealership. After calling the dealership 2 days ago was assured apt and loaner was still happening. Received an email yesterday verifying apt again, show up, and complete disorganization from staff, and BS from the sales manager once again. He should be fired. Called ford dealership and filed complaints. Calling and filling out every complaint form possible as well as called the dealership after arriving home to request general manager information and further complaint information and was REFUSED this information because of stating we would seek legal help. We have no representation at this time. I would no recommended this dealership to anyone, and think it should be looked at with a fine toothed comb for fraud.

Sunday may 30 had truck towed to sawyer chevrolet in catskill NY. Truck will not go into any gear, selector moves but does nothing. Dealer was unable to detect the problem i was told gm engineering is now involved. This is the 13th week since purchasing the truck that is at a dealer with problems. I would like to know how long i will be without a vehicle again, and if gm is going to cover a loaner truck or a rental at there expense while i am without my vehicle?

I priced a new Corvette on Chevrolet web site. I called Jake Sweeney Chevrolet iin Cincinnati, Ohio on route 747.
I taled to a salesman Ricky Steed phone [protected].
He told me the price I get off the web site does not include the "Up Charges."
I asked how much they were and he told me $20, 000.00 in a Corvette,
I find it hard t believe Chevrolet condones this type of sales.

monument chevrolet in Pasadena Texas, I took my truck to the dealor ship four weeks ago My ignition switch was hanging up . They keep my truck three weeks before they finally got the right part number . I cannot talk to anyone, they will not return calls.I was told last monday the part was ordered, I have not heard from anyone at all. There is no way it should take a full month for a minor repair

RE: The Trials And Tribulations Of Dealing With Chevrolet and A Service Bulletin

Dear Chevrolet:

On 12/26/2020 I started the car and many caution lights engaged, including anti-lock brakes, service traction system, service stabilitrak, power steering…. This was a first and I turned off the ignition, checked for broken belts and leaking fluids. All appeared fine. I started the car and all the same indicators came on. This time I attempted to drive and there was no power steering. I went inside to attempt some detective work on youtube and found the GM Service Bulletin 14311B, Special Coverage. The bulletin described my issues and indicated my Cruze was within the parameters of the "Special Coverage". Thirty minutes had passed and I went to start the car. It started perfectly, no caution lights and the power steering was working well.

The problem is, what will happen if this occurs while my wife has the car?

The negative terminal, per your Bulletin and common sense, needs to be replaced. That's what your experts have diagnosed the solution to be, which must be a common occurrence or there would be no Bulletin No. 14311B.

This next part is where things took an unanticipated twist. I phone the local Chevrolet dealer, (John Tapper, Paw Paw, MI 49069), and their service department, Megan, had never heard of or had access to the Bulletin. She gave me the [protected] number and told to give them a try. I was eventually connected with Samantha. After 70 minutes her advice was to go to my. gm.com/recalls, which I already found talking with Samantha. I explained I'd been there already and recalls are not special bulletins and could I please have either the email to file a formal complaint or give me a supervisor. Samantha gave me to Gee, Samantha's supervisor (horrible connection and heavy accent). Same playbook routine and I asked for a person in the technical department [protected]). Same playbook and was given to Arnal who sent me to Crystal. It has now been 195 minutes. Chrystal told me to talk to Taper and tell them she sent me (this was another 44 minutes). I told her we should call them together and I was sure it would mean something coming from her. (Prelude: I did obtain this email address from Gee using, "Is there an email address for complaints, yes or no." Also, Gee explained to me that by using the last 8 alphanumeric symbols of my VIN on the 2015 Cruze, she could ascertain it did not qualify for the Special Coverage Adjustment. When I questioned Gee as to why not it was a 4 minute spin that could have saved us both 3 minutes and 57 seconds if she would have said, "I haven't a clue".) After much time, Chrystal said she had Tapper on the line and was it OK to have a three way so she could get them up to speed, (Which I thought was the point prior to her phone call to them.), and I said "Certainly". I was now talking to Zach at Tapper's in Paw Paw who was kind, considerate and professional. I asked Zach where Chrystal was and he informed me Chrystal had asked for his manager and he informed her that she had that day off. When I asked Zach if Crystal explained the situation he said no but how could he help me.

Almost 240 minutes and all I could do was admire pure profligacy, (Never saw it before). That is not the term William Durant envisioned someone in 2020 would be using to describe one of GM's stronger attributes.

All the above leads up to this simple question: If my 2015 Cruze is using the same negative battery cable as the Cruzes that qualify for the replacement per your Bulletin and my 2015 Cruze is experiencing the exact same symptoms described in your Service Bulletin, why don't you cover it?

Sincerely,
Kevin P. Moran

P.S.: My mother Passed on 1-3-2021 and I was engaged in the funeral and estate requirements which explains the lapse in time from 12/26/20 to 1/26/21.

I'd like to inform Chevrolet of a flaw in their system that has led to a lost sale; me. I am in the market for a new full-size pickup truck and it seemed like an easy answer to me; Silverado 1500. This will be my first time purchasing a new vehicle, and a truck nonetheless. I wanted it to be exactly what I needed, so I built it on your website.
Following the completion of the build, the website sent my contact information to a nearby dealership. Premier Chevrolet of Carlsbad, California, and Cumming Chevrolet, are both dealerships that have failed me.
In both scenarios, I was contacted by a sales representative. In each case, I informed the representative of what I was trying to do, and conversations ceased entirely after this point. A manager from Premier even reached out to ensure I was being taken care of, and when I informed him I wasn't and what I wanted, again conversation ceased. All conversations occurred between December 1st and 3rd, 2020.
Needless to say, my money is going to Ford. I'm not sure where the disconnect is, but it is disheartening, especially for someone who had money on GM stocks. I'm currently deployed and this situation was unnecessarily frustrating. Hopefully, you can amend the process in the future, for a different customer.

My Truck has shaken since the day I bought it. it seems to happen from 70-80mph. i have new tire and rims on my truck thinking it was that and it not. Its terrible and almost to the point of getting a new vehicle and it defiantly wont be a Chevy

Dear sir,

It's been a while that i've been trying to access your contact details but to no avail, despite the fact that the ministry of justice is the last hope and resort of the masses. Kindly oblige me an audience with meaningful response concerning the following message involving two notable companies both in nigeria and in uk respectively;

I'll like to use this medium to solicit your support concerning the charges including the january deadline also in forwarding this message to the necessary authorities in uk concerning my chevrolet automobile company winning fund which I have been paying charges upon charges endlessly since last year.

The first charges which I could say might be acceptable was the bank charges which I paid the naira denomination through their agent here in nigeria, the second charges was the transfer authorization code (tac) the code I never recieve, third one was for the ofac which I do not know the meaning or its uses, and now the non resident certificate (nrc) as claimed by their agent that have been contacting me since 2014.

I contacted the national lottery help desk for support when I was sending the fund verification form last year, and now i'm in need of your absolute support in either getting my fund or receiving my charges payments back since.

Another issue of paying fifty thousand naira came up again after paying 20, 000 naira for one nrc (non resident certificate which I cannot guarantee their trust upon and waiting for my fund to be paid as promised by chevrolet's promo chief executive officer, thomas schoewe and waiting for my fund to be sent but afterwards, it is another money they are requesting for, which is fifty thousand naira.

I've spent lot of time and effort on this but kindly assist in forwarding my plight to the necessary authorities in the uk, thank you sir
The second company involved is the gtb bank that the operation manger from uk sent a message to me online some weeks ago that my fund has been deposited by chevrolet and I am expected to pay for some charges and after that i'll receive my fund in my account here in nigeria where I reside. After making the payment and scanning the teller copy to gtb in london, I tried to verify the document of deposit of fund by chevrolet into gtb in uk but these documents were denied by the gtb bank branches here in nigeria
Gtb bank is demanding for another charges which I never bargain with them before and the bamk is not sending my money as expected.
I am not suppose to be running around for what I desrve after paying all the necessary charges and the bank is coming up with endless and unprecedented charges.
Kindly oblige me your assistance on this sir.

Nb. They're giving another deadline with threat messages of not even receving the monetary charges i've paid to raise the sum but kindly persuade the company to stop this unnecessary charges, thank you sir.

The equinox I have is not drivable due to the oil problems and metal in the engine and I refuse to put a new engine in when the vehicle has less than 100000 miles on it and you recognize that there are problems with the engineering of this engine . I will never purchase another GM made vehicle again. You should replace these engines under warranty knowing they are poorly engineered. Your commercials certainly do not entice the owner who has had nothing but trouble with your product.

Ordered brand new 2020 hd truck with navigation... And the truck does not have navigation. Dealership claims the chip was not with the truck... Well we paid for it, have called customer service multiple times... We still do not have navigation on our truck... We took delivery on november 27, 2019! We purchase a new chevrolet truck every year! A new diesel truck 3500 hd every year! That is about to change folks!

Not seeing any customer service here at all! They don't even call on the day they say they are going to... We are at a loss...

Hmmmm maybe time for a ford or dodge truck!

While driving home 12-13-19 I smelled burning wires and there was smoke in the cab.
Quickly shut off truck opened doors to let smoke out and the rear window exploded. I called GM to report the incident and after 7 weeks and two dealer visits I was told that I was on my own.
My truck is still under the 3 year 36k bumper to bumper warranty and should be covered under warranty.
I have purchased over 30 new GM vehicles but with this shotty customer service this will be my last!
New rear window is $1000 seems like a small price to pay to loose a previously brand loyal customer. Worst customer service ever!

The August 2018 purchase of this SUV was record-breaking in that it was my first SUV and the newest vehicle I had ever owned.

Within a year and a half, in January of 2020, I learned that GM believes that the engines in their vehicles can only be expected to last 5 years and that it is too bad, so sad that the engine in my vehicle stopped working.

Anyone I spoke to found it inconceivable that a properly serviced vehicle would need to have the engine replaced at less than 100K miles.

GM believes that since I did not have one of their dealers handle the repairs for my vehicles, there is nothing they can do as only their dealership can accurately diagnosis the cause of the engine failure and due to the age of the vehicle (barely 6 years old) it is solely my responsibility.

The non-GM explanation as to the cause of the engine needing to be replaced was that the number one cylinder had grenaded damaging the electrode on spark plug.

12/30/2019.
Driving my 2017 equinox the blower was cutting out one day and working the next. I googled the possible issue thinking it was a bad fuse. Turns out there are know issues with blowers going out. I have 124, 000 miles on the vehicle and it is out of warranty now. The bill with my GM discount as I was a former GM employee and my family works there. 386.00 dollars. This is unacceptable. If the company has known issues with blower motors on cars they need to get the issue fixed and should offer to replace them if they fail. I am sure there is a alert bulletin on the internal side of GM.
