2015 Chevrolet Ss problems
Super Sport, or SS, is the signature performance option package offered by Chevrolet on a limited number of its vehicles. All SS models come with distinctive "SS" markings on their exterior. The SS package was first made available for the 1961 Impala. Some of the other models bearing the SS badge include the Camaro, Chevelle, El Camino, Impala, Monte Carlo, Nova and Chevrolet Pickup Trucks. Current SS models are produced by the GM Performance Division.
General Motors Company's Australian subsidiary Holden offers SS models in its range of Holden Commodore sedans and sportwagons, and also in the Holden Ute range of two-door coupé utilities.
History
In December 1956, Chevrolet unveiled a show car based on the first generation (C1) Corvette called the Corvette Super Sport. In early 1957, the Chevrolet Corvette SS debuted — a custom built racing sports car that was the first Chevrolet to wear the SS badge.
In 1961, the SS "kit" (known as a sport and appearance package) was offered on any Impala for just $53.80. The package included Super Sport trim for both the interior and exterior, chassis reinforcements, stronger springs and shocks, power brakes, spinner wheel covers, and narrow-band whitewall tires. The car's dashboard received a Corvette style passenger hand bar and a steering column mounted 7000-rpm tachometer. Chevrolet built 491,000 Impalas that year and 453 had the SS package, of which 311 received the 348 cid and 142 received the 409 cid. Since 1994, the SS package has been used on a variety of GM vehicles, including pickup trucks, four-door sedans, and front wheel drive cars.
Both historically and today, the Super Sport package has typically included high-performance tires, heavy-duty suspension, and increased power, along with a variety of other performance and appearance upgrades.

It is important to note that the number of complaints for each issue is relatively low, and the 2015 Chevrolet SS has received generally positive reviews from automotive experts and consumers alike. However, potential buyers should still be aware of these issues and consider them when making their purchasing decision. It is also recommended to check the vehicle's history report and have it inspected by a certified mechanic before buying to ensure its overall condition and reliability.
Why didn t the Chevy SS sell well?
GM sold it for 8 years with 2 model revisions. They never advertised it. Their dealers didn't know what it was or how to sell it, some even actively suppressed it to avoid dealing with its peculiarities.
Why did Chevrolet stop making the SS?
Although the SS is absolutely a dream vehicle for Chevy enthusiasts, it failed to catch on with the general public. The stylish four-door sedan packed a ton of power (415 horsepower, to be exact) and featured a full range of wonderful tech components at a reasonable price.
How many years did the Chevy SS last?
The 2013 to 2017 Holden Commodore was an executive car produced by the GM Australia marque Holden. This model year range was the last generation of the Commodore and was imported to the USA under the nameplate of the Chevy SS. Previously, the Commodore was briefly imported to the USA under the Pontiac G8 nameplate.
Is the Chevy SS rare?
This car is rare, though, unlike the VehiCROSS, it's not because it was built in a manner that would naturally limit production numbers. Instead, just 12,924 examples of the Chevrolet SS exist and of those, only 2,645 were equipped with a manual transmission. The Chevy SS is sort of like a case study.

Ride comfort
The Chevy SS comes with standard adaptive Magnetic Ride Control suspension. The settings (Tour, Sport, Performance) don't change the car's behavior as drastically as some other systems. Performance mode can be bouncy; Tour is soft enough for daily commuting.

I asked if I could just continue to drive it and they told me it could be a safety issue if I didn't get it fixed. My vehicle only has 39,000 miles and I found it very odd for this component to fail with such low mileage. After doing a little research, it turns out there are many reports of both the front and rear suspension components failing on these vehicle when they were not very old and had low mileage.

THIS AFFECTS ME DIRECTLY AS I CAN NOT TRADE THE CAR IN ON ANOTHER VEHICLE SINCE A DEALERSHIP CANNOT LEGALLY SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE.

ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BOTH OF THE SLEEVES ARE CUT FROM ABRASIONS AND RUBBING UP AGAINST THE TRIM WHICH IS AT A 90 ANGLE INSTEAD OF A GREATER ONE. IT HAS CUT HOLES IN THE SLEEVES AND NOW RUBS AGAINST THE CABLES. I BELIEVE BOTH SIDES OF THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED INSTEAD OF JUST THE 1 SIDE WHICH IS CURRENTLY RECALLED. AS STATED BEFORE THE CURRENT RECALL DOESN'T EFFECT MINE BECAUSE OF HOW MY SEATS ARE POSITIONED BUT WHAT I'M DESCRIBING IS THE SAME ISSUE AT THE OTHER SIDE AND IS CAUSING AN ISSUE AND CONCERN. I HAVE UPLOADED PICTURES SO YOU CAN ALL SEE. PLEASE MAKE A RECALL FOR THIS AS IT IS EQUALLY IMPORTANT AS THE CURRENT RECALL IS AND IMPOSES GREAT DANGER FOR INJURY AND OR DEATH FROM THIS.

Positive 2015 Chevrolet Ss car reviews
-
Congratulations on owning a 2015 SS! It's amazing that you've driven 35,000 miles without any trouble. Chevy/Holden did an excellent job creating this car. You mentioned that you believe the SS is comparable to a Cadillac or a German car, but with less depreciation. It's great to hear that you plan on keeping it for many years. The SS is a perfect car for those who value comfort, performance, and a rear-wheel-drive four-door family sedan. The front and rear seats are spacious and comfortable, and the car's performance can be compared to the BMW m5. The brakes are outstanding, and the heads-up display and magnetic ride control are fantastic features. The SS is truly a sweetheart of a car. If you're looking for a car with gas mileage above 22 mpg, you may need to consider other options. It's unfortunate that the SS has been discontinued, but it's good to know that you'll be enjoying it for many years to come.

...& the only other reviewer's car is white too - drives like a smaller sports car in the twistys & a larger luxury car over bumps - won't buy another car w/out magnetic ride & heads up display - this modern sleeper is a wonderful long trip highway car that devours fuel - the 392 Hemi cars are a tick quicker & a bit faster, yet the SS is way more nimble & refined - roomy well finished leather/suede interior w/fake buckle holes in the comfortable front seats & slow to respond touchscreen - fit & finish are good & the paint resists chips - I like that I haven't seen another on the road - low production no bad boy understated sheet metal w/a bit much chrome - love the car, wonder about resale -

This is a fantastic car! I had a black one just like it and loved it very much, but unfortunately, I crashed it going 75 mph and totaled it. However, the car protected me and I didn't have a scratch on me. It was such a pleasure to drive and I'm really sorry to have lost it.

I really love my 15 SS! It's been running strong with no major problems. I've made some upgrades like the Rotofab cold air intake and Corsa exhaust, and I'm planning to install a pro charger once the warranty ends. I even managed to beat a 2020 Camaro SS with a 6 speed, not once but twice! I know it sounds funny, but I really love my 4-door Vett. This happened on 12/15/20.

I drove the first '15 at the dealer the day it came off the truck and fell in love with it at first sight/drive, especially because it was a 6-speed manual! I kept going round and round, but as a GM supplier, there were better deals on other cars, but none like this one - maybe the ATS-V + $25k. I didn't do anything. Then last week, I 'stumbled' upon information on the net about a GM 15% discount on selected '15 left-overs, and the SS was on the list. I went to my dealer's site and behold, the Heron White '15 was still there less 15%, + an additional discount because the owner had put 1,000 miles on the odometer - too good to be true?? Nope, what they advertised was the real cost - no gimmicks. One downside - automatic transmission. But for the kind of discount that I got, I can handle driving an automatic. I bought it!!! I've had it for less than a week, but I love driving it - can't wait to put lots more miles on it!! As a serious car person, I can tell you that you'd be hard-pressed to find a similar car in any price range, especially when you throw in the manual transmission option. This morning, I was on the Holden website and saw the sweet El Camino (us old folks can remember that name). And, somehow, GM needs to keep Holden alive - they've got too much bad history shutting down good divisions.

The front tires of this car need to be replaced every 13,000 miles due to abnormal wear. Despite having the alignment checked at two Chevy dealers, who confirmed it is within specifications, the poor tire wear remains unexplained and there is no warranty. To keep the front tires in good condition, a budget of 0.06 cents per mile is necessary. Additionally, the heating and AC are excessively noisy, which is a concern. However, it is important to note that this car has always been driven conservatively, like a family car.

Hey there! I noticed that you're looking for a car. This one seems like a great option! It just needs a little love, but it could be an awesome ride for a bit cheaper. Let me know if you have any questions or if there's anything else I can help you with!

Hey there! I can see that you really enjoyed the performance and loaded options of the Chevy SS. However, I understand that the price of 50k for a souped up Malibu just doesn't seem worth it to you.
