My truck has 600 miles on it and I'm already not thrilled with Chevy.... again. I'm coming from a 2015 Tahoe that was a piece of junk.

 

On my 2017 Silverado, I changed some of the VEHICLE (Comfort and Convenience) settings last night, like auto seat recall, reverse tilt mirror, etc. Got in the truck this morning and I didn't like them. Partly because my seat memory isn't saving. It keeps recalling to memory 2 for some reason.

 

So I have my truck running and am in park, and go to change them back..... Only option under Comfort and Convenience is CHIME. No scroll option or anything, the other settings are just gone.... WTF?

 

I also hate the park assist in this, compared to my Tahoe. Anytime it's cold out the Park Assist goes crazy and doesn't work right. Last night I was backing up and the front park assist was going off for no reason until it shut itself off apparently. Then I couldn't turn it back on.

 

Chevy has zero quality control and it shows... For me, it's 2 "expensive" vehicles in a row. Maybe I'm just that lucky.

as far as the comfort settings go read the owners manual and maybe find the default setting

park assist always does that there are countless customers at my dealer coming in with ice frozen on their sensing areas you cant control it... unless you have a garage....

The definition of insanity - When you keep repeating the same process but expect different results.

 

So all new trucks will have the exact same issues? I guess I'm missing your point in using this cliche phrase.

my memory seats kinda were the same as yours.. i got 2 key fobs with my truck from the dealer...when i tried to set it up on the original fob, it wouldn't work, so i grabbed the spare fob... for some reason my truck saw the spare fob as #2, and the original fob as #3... so i don't use preset 1... i'm stuck on preset 2... its not bad.. since i'm the only driver...so i dont sweat it..

You may try your other key fob to unlock the truck to address the memory seat/mirror settings. One setting is for each fob.

I have a friend that owns a Chevy dealership in a different town so I keep getting this crappy brand. But it's not convenient to take it to his dealership for service. And why would I need to be taking brand new vehicles in for service anyway??? At least that's my mindset. You're right, I am insane apparently.

Thank you. I will try that. My main concern is why my settings have disappeared.

I haven't had that happen, but I know I had programmed setting "1" for seat and mirrors and was using key fob "2"; kept unlocking the truck and the seat would be in a position that looked like an elf was in there driving. Once I switched fobs I was good. Good luck on the missing settings.

If I can't figure out how a feature works, I refer to the manual that came with my truck. After following the directions and the function is, or appears to be, malfunctioning I take my truck to the nearest dealership service department for assistance. I would not allow any new vehicle under warranty to be a piece of junk. I have purchased new vehicles (not necessarily GM) which have had an inordinate amount of warranty work required, but I always drive vehicles that operate properly. I am particularly concerned about how a vehicle holds up after the warranty period has expired. For me, GM's have always excelled in the long haul! Your Tahoe and Silverado are both great vehicles. The frustrations you have experienced can be fixed.

The brand as a whole I would hardly consider crap since there are countless people out there with GM products, like myself, who have had zero issues with their trucks. Its unfortunate you seem to keep getting trouble vehicles though. I would suggest checking the owners manual as previously suggested on the seat adjustments, could just be a step that was missed.

Some of those functions require the ignition to be on. Perhaps this is one of those functions, I don't recall for sure.

If you're not happy with GM products, then don't buy them! Your friend wont go out of business! Go buy a Ford or a RAM or a Toyota.

 

That being said, I've found that most electronic bugs in these trucks can be fixed by shutting the truck down then restarting. They behave more like computers than cars these days. And believe me, it's not just GM. My wife has a Honda Pilot that hiccups once in a while.

 

I think the next truck I'm going to buy is going to be a late 1970's K 1500. I'll drop in a 454 with a 4-barrel carburetor...slap on a 6 inch lift and some 35 inch swampers....should be a good time, and no computers or gadgets to deal with!

OP has couple minor complaints and it is a crappy brand, funny since most people have no issues (as with every brand there will be those that have bad luck) as mine has been pretty much perfect. You don't like it move on, joining a forum to complain and insult isn't helping your case. Maybe you should make friends with a Ford owner or better yet a Dodge, ya let us know how those trucks are doing, they all have a laundry list of complaints...

 

These threads sure get old, hope you get what ever it is you were looking to get out of joining here!

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
