AIR BAGS
The side impact airbags failed to deploy. I was ( T Boned) side impacted with such force to propel my my truck 90 degrees and into the ditch. I was wearing my seatbelt. The other driver was charged with the accident. I impacted the doorframe with my Lt. arm and chest, and my Left temple struck the window frame. The truck was totaled. As a result of the vehicular collision I suffered Pulmonary contusions, 3 broken ribs, a lacerated spleen, and omental lacerations. Had the side curtain airbags deployed my injuries would have been significantly reduced. This problem was noted in the accident report. Attached. I have not reported this to a dealer Geico has inspected the vehicle I reported to the the issue with the airbags . No warning lights or any other indication that the airbags were inoperable at any time in the trucks history. I am the first owner of this truck and it was well maintained . I was expected to get at least another 10 years service from the vehicle and maintained as so. I Have attached the accident report.

POWER TRAIN
Truck has 130k miles. Never used for towing or rough driving. Transmission is going bad. Reached out to GM and was told it’s our problem. We paid 43,000 for this vehicle and transmission issues already. We have a 1997 Chevy Silverado as well. With 321,000 miles on it and just had to replace the transmission. Engine is still running strong. For a vehicle to cost as much as our 2015 you would think the quality would better.

POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
My truck shakes frequently going down the road at certain speeds. I've had it for around 6 years now and I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. I've had the truck in for maintenance/service at the dealership as well as other auto shops trying to diagnose the problem. I've had new tries, new brakes, countless tire rotations, wheel balancing etc you name it. And the problem persists. Recently after hearing about the "Chevy Shake" I've come to realize that my problems are just like what others have too. Now my powertrain has given out. And my extended warranty has ended. I truly believe that the issues have caused, or are caused by this prevailing issue of a wobbling drive shaft. Every time I have had it in for repairs the issue still persists and I can't always get the time to go back and have it looked at it again. It is a safety issue above all else and I truly believe GM knows about it but does nothing. Even more to the point, I had a "transmission fluid flush" just under a month ago and now all of a sudden my truck doesn't shift like it should. They say it will cost over 5 thousand dollars to get repaired. There is something seriously wrong here. This is an ongoing issue, and again it is difficult to say when it started. But a vehicle going down the highway at speed limit and shaking is a safety concern.

STRUCTURE:BODY
PAINT IS PEELING AND FLAKING IN MULTIPLE SPOTS ON MY TRUCK. GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S AFTER 3 YR OR 36000 MILES. THIS IS A VERY POPULAR PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR OF CHEVY TRUCKS. IT'S ALL OVER VEHICLE WEBSITES. IT'S A BAD PATCH OF PAINT OR PRIMER ISSUE. GM TOLD ME IT'S MAINTENANCE AFTER THE PAINT WARRANTY IS UP. THE SPOTS ARE INSIDE MY TAILGATE AND NEXT THE WINDSHIELD. TWO SPOTS WHERE IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR CHIPS TO HAPPEN FROM DRIVING. THIS IS A GM PROBLEM! THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. I'M SURE THEY KNOW THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM. THEY NEED TO FIX IT. THEY ARE LOSING CHEVY CUSTOMERS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
MY SILVERADO HAS ALREADY HAD THE SOFTWARE UPGRADE RELATED TO THE PREVIOUS VACUUM PUMP/BRAKE RECALL (N192268490). IT INITIALLY HELPED, BUT NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL IS AGAIN EXTREMELY HARD TO PRESS AT SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS IN TRAFFIC. YOU NEED TO ALMOST STAND ON IT TO STOP. IT APPEARS THAT THE DETERIORATION IS BACK WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THE SOFTWARE "FIX." I WILL BE TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS WEEK AND REQUESTING A REPLACEMENT OF THE VACUUM PUMP UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. I AM BEYOND REGULAR POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT THIS POINT, BUT BRAKES SEEM LIKE THEY SHOULD WORK PAST 80K.
