I DRIVE 116 MOSTLY HWY MILES A DAY COMMUTING TO WORK. ABOUT 4 WEEKS AGO THE 1ST OF MY TIRES STARTED TO VIBRATE. I HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND THE BELT HAD SEPARATED. THEN 2 WEEKS LATER THE 2ND TIRE DID THE SAME. (BOTH FRONT END OF THE VEH) THEN THE FOLLOWING WEEK (DATE OF INCIDENT.) THE OTHER TIRE BELT SEPARATED BUT THIS TIME THE WHOLE TREAD SEPARATED FROM THE TIRE CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. (INDECENT NOT REPORTED TO THE POLICE) AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HWY AT NORMAL SPEEDS. (BACK END OF VEH) (IF FRONT END I MIGHT HAVE CRASHED?) THE TIRES ARE A GOODYEAR WRANGLER ALL-TERRAIN ADVENTURE. TIRE SIZE LT265/70R18.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IGNITION SWITCH IS BAD. IT LOCKS UP TO WHERE THE KEY WILL NEED TO BE TURNED AROUND AND TRIED AGAIN. WHEN TAKING KEY OUT THE KEY HOLE (AT TIMES) STAYS IN THE ON POSITION AND DINGS AS I LEAVE MAKING THE ASSESSORIES FUNCTION STAY ON. IF KEY IS BUMPED THE KEY CAN TURN OFF TRUCK MAKING ALL POWER TURN OFF.

ENGINE
I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN. I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH THE DIVIDED INTERSECTION THAT HAD A ROAD CLOSED SIGN FOR THE EXIT SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AND A DO NOT ENTER SIGN FOR THE ENTRANCE SIDE. THE MEDIAN WAS OVER GROWN WITH VEGETATION SO THAT VISIBILITY WAS POOR. I STARTED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH A CAR ENTERING AT FAST RATE OF SPEED HIT THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK KNOCKING TO THE LEFT. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I WAS THROWN TO THE RIGHT AND THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL SPEED. THE TRUCK HIT A PALM TREE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. THE LIGHTBULB IS IN GOOD ORDER. THE PIGTAIL SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT/SMALL FIRE, PLASTIC MELTING, CARBON IN THE METAL CONTACT ON THE LIGHTBULB AND SOCKET. THE PIGTAIL WAS REPLACED AND LASTED APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH TO SHOW THE SAME ISSUES. I AM AFRAID OF A VEHICLE FIRE. THE VEHICLE'S STABILITRACK IS UNUSABLE, THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THE ISSUES HAPPENED SUDDENLY DURING NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE ISSUES ARE ONGOING AND STARTED SIX MONTHS AGO.

DASH PAD HAS CRACKS IN IT. IF AIR BAGS WERE TO BE DEPLOYED PIECES OF DASH COULD BECOME PROJECTILES. DON'T KNOW WHEN IT CRACKED. I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS WALKING AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY TRUCK SITS IN A GARAGE. IT ONLY HAS 60000 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2011.

AIR BAGS
THE COMMON DASH CRACK IN MY 2012 SILVERADO WITH ONLY 40K MILES. I HAD A SUNROOF INSTALLED TO LET THE HEAT OUT AND MY TRUCK IS CLEARLY STORED IN A GARAGE AND THE TRUCKS DASH STILL CRACKED. ITS SO BAD THE DASH RATTLES WHEN DRIVING AND IM WORRIED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF PLASTIC USED ON THE DASH THAT WHEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS, THAT THE DASH WILL TURN INTO SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC HEADED TOWARDS MY PASSENGERS AND I. I NEVER EXPECTED SUCK A WELL TAKEN CARE OF VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES TO HAVE A CRACKED DASH AND [XXX] SURE NOT A GM PRODUCT. TOYOTA HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT THEY FIXED THERE ISSUE.

SUSPENSION
THE STEEL IN THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS SUDDENLY BROKE IN HALF (UNDER NO LOAD). IT HAPPENED TWICE - IN THE LEFT REAR LEAF SPRINGS IN ~2016 (~3 YEARS OF AGE), AND AGAIN IN THE RIGHT REAR LEAF SPRINGS LAST WEEK (2018). THIS IS NOT EVEN A MECHANICAL DEVICE - JUST A PASSIVE HEAVY GAUGE PIECE OF STEEL. THE VEHICLE IS VERY LIGHT USE, AND IN BOTH CASES THERE WAS NO PAYLOAD IN THE FLATBED. GM APPEARS TO BE USING A SUBSTANDARD GRADE OF STEEL IN CRITICAL AREAS OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED WHEN THE SPRINGS BROKE, AND I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM IF DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. IN ADDITION, THE STEEL ROD THAT CONNECTS THE INNER DRIVER DOOR HANDLE TO THE DOOR LOCK, ALSO SNAPPED (SO YOU CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE CONTROLS). IT APPEARS THAT GM IS USING A CHEAP SUBSTANDARD GRADE OF STEEL IN THEIR VEHICLES. ESTIMATED DATE OF FIRST EVENT BELOW. *JS
