What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
My company just recently purchased dozens of 2017 chevy express vans. One of these new vans (16 miles on odometer) experienced a faulty brake booster mechanical issue which caused the brakes to engage while turning the steering wheel. The design of the brake booster integration with the power steering pump was part of the problem. This is potentially fatal design flaw if you manufacture a vehicle that would engage the brakes just by turning the steering wheel.
ABS warning light randomly illuminates, you can stop, then restart the engine, and it will sometimes go out. Cruise control randomly will not work
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet express 3500. While driving 35 MPH, the brake light and ABS stabilized track light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and stated that the brake stabilizer system failed and the brake pump motor needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was contacted and provided case number: 9-5526252281. The manufacturer stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 19v645000 (service brakes, hydraulic).
Service airbag, service traction control and service stabilitrac pop up on the driver information center screen randomly and go away randomly. I have noticed the airbag warning happens more frequently when the roads are wet. Vehicle was just at dealer for service and they couldn't find the problem.
