SUSPENSION, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BOUGHT A GM CERTIFIED SILVERADO WITH 20000 MILE ON IT. AND THE IDLE VIBRATION AND DRIVE VIBRATION ARE SO BAD IT GIVES ME HEADACHES AFTER DRIVING FOR ANY PERIOD OVER AN HOUR. THE DEALER SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND THEY ARE NUTS IF THIS IS NORMAL. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET. BUT AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A FIX. MY TRUCK IS UNSAFE! CHEVROLET NEEDS YOU FIX THESE PROBLEMS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THIS WEEKEND MY TRUCK STARTED ACTING WEIRD. ON SATURDAY THERE IS A VERY INTERMITTENT ZAP OR CLICK NOISE THAT WOULD COME THROUGH THE SPEAKERS. ALMOST LIKE THERE IS A SHORT SOMEWHERE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I AM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL TRIES TO PULL BACK MIDLINE FOR ABOUT A SECOND OR TWO THEN GOES BACK TO WHERE IT WAS PREVIOUSLY TURNED TO. WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK UP ON SUNDAY I HAD TO RE-ENTER THE TIME IN THE RADIO BUT ALL STATIONS WERE STILL PROGRAMED INTO IT. I NOTICED WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON AND IT MAKES THAT NOISE THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKER A LITTLE BIT. ON THE WAY INTO WORK THIS MORNING THAT NOISE WAS NOT THERE BUT DURING A TURN ON THE INTERSTATE THE STEERING WHEEL TRIED THREE OR FOUR TIMES TO RETURN TO MIDLINE DURING THE TURN. IT HAPPENS SO FAST THAT IS IS FINISHED JUST ABOUT THE TIME YOU CAN REACT TO IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK 14 MONTHS AGO AND WAS TALKED INTO A GPS SYSTEM. THE DOCUMENTATION STATED IT WAS THE LATEST AND GREATEST AND UP TO DATE. IT WAS BOTHERSOME THAT THE SYSTEM COULD NOT KNOW ABOUT MY 7 YEAR OLD SUBDIVISION AND LARGE INTERSECTION SUCH AS THE NEW I 65 INTERCHANGE ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF INDY. THEN I PULLED A TRAILER TO TEXAS AND WAS ALMOST KILLED IN A HEAD ON BECAUSE THE GPS SYSTEM IN MY NEW TRUCK THINKS ALL FRONTAGE ROADS IN TX ARE 2 WAY WHEN MOST ARE ONE WAY IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS THE TRAVEL LANES FOR THE INTERSTATE. IT WAS ABOUT 10 PM AND RAINING. I WAS DIRECTED TO EXIT THE FREEWAY AND CROSS UNDER AND TURN RIGHT AND GO 1 MILE TO MY DESTINATION. I MADE THE TURN AND WAS UP TO ABOUT 50 MPH WHEN AN 18 WHEELER CAME DOWN THE EXIT RAMP HEADED STRAIGHT FOR ME. WE BOTH HAD TO MAKE SOME WILD MANEUVERS TO AVOID THE COLLISION. I ENDED UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE TRUCK BED FROM DAMAGE ON TH SIDE FROM A SEMI JACKKNIFE. I CONTACTED CHEVY AND SPENT MANY CALLS WITH THEIR ENTERTAINMENT DEPT TO TRY AND FIX THIS ISSUE. CHEVY REFUSES TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND WANTS ME TO BUY AN UPDATE. I WON'T DO THAT AS IT WOULD ERASE THE ORIGINAL SOFTWARE AND I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVE WHAT HAPPENED. IF YOU HAVE ANY WRONG WAY HEAD ONS IN TX IN A GM PRODUCT IS WAS MOST LIKELY THE GPS THAT CAUSED THE WRECK. I'M FRUSTRATED THAT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO INTEREST IN THIS PROBLEM. LUCKILY THE GPS IN MY PHONE WORKS FINE AND I CAN GET TO MY DESTINATIONS SAFELY FOR ALMOST FREE INSTEAD OF THE $850.00 CHEVY SYSTEM THAT HAS TRIED TO KILL ME TWICE BEFORE I STOPPED USING IT. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL CHEVY MECHANICS AND THEY HAVE ALSO SEEN THE PROBLEM IN BOTH CUSTOMER CARS AND WHEN THEY HAVE RENTED A GM PRODUCT. DATE IS A GUESS AS IT HAS BEEN AWHILE, NOTE: I DELIVER RV'S AND KEEP LOGBOOKS AND CAN GET THE EXACT DATE IF NEEDED. HD LONG BED CREW CAB 4X4 SINGLEHTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/VEHIC TIRE PU

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY LOW BEAM HEADLAMP PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE A PROJECTOR STYLE HEADLAMP CONFIGURATION WHICH EMITS A VERY FOCUSED BEAM OF LIGHT THAT IS SO NARROW FROM SIDE TO SIDE THAT WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN YOU HAVE EXTREMELY LIMITED PERIPHERAL VISION. THE BEAM OF LIGHT IS FAR ENOUGH AHEAD OF THE TRUCK AND HAS SUCH A SHARP CUTOFF LINE, YOU CANNOT SEE IF THERE IS ANYBODY STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK WAITING TO CROSS. IT'S ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE YOU CAN TURN FROM STREET TO STREET BECAUSE THERE AGAIN IS SUCH A LIMITED FIELD OF LIGHT PROJECTED. OVERALL THE HEADLAMPS ARE VERY DIM. HIGH BEAM PERFORMANCE IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE BOTH THE LOW AND HIGH BEAMS LAMPS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE HIGH BEAM LAMP IS A COMPLEX REFLECTOR CONFIGURATION THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND WORKS WELL. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT HIGH BEAMS ARE USED VERY LITTLE BECAUSE OF THE OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS ON THE ROAD. IT'S A SHAME THAT A PICKUP WITH A LIST PRICE OF OVER $50,000 HAS SUCH POOR HEADLAMPS.

POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION, WHEELS
AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 58 AND 74 MPH, THERE IS A VIBRATION THAT SHAKES THE TRUCK. MY FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID 3 OF THE 4 TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACE, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 3500 MILES, WHEN I TOOK IT THE FIRST TIME. THE PROBLEM WAS STABLE FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES, AND THEN STARTED TO GET BAD, I CALLED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT, AND THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK NOW, AND THEY HAVE REPLACE THE ONE TIRE THAT WASN'T ORGINALLY REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

WHEELS
THE 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY COMES STANDARD WITH A GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2, SIZE: P275/55R20. THE WET AND DRY TRACTION OF THIS MODEL OF GOODYEAR TIRE IS POOR AT BEST. ON WET ROAD SURFACES, THE TIRES BREAK TRACTION ON CORNERS AND UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. SNOW TRACTION IS NON-EXISTENT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MUD AND SNOW RATED. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING ON THE CHEVROLET 1500 HIGH COUNTRY PROJECTOR STYLE HEADLAMPS IS VERY POOR. LOW LIGHT OUTPUT AND WHAT LIGHT THERE IS IN VERY NARROWLY FOCUSED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. LITTLE OR NO LIGHTING TO THE SIDES WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN MAKING A TURN.

WHEELS
I HAVE THE SPECIAL RALLY EDITION OF THIS TRUCK IN WHICH COMES WITH 22" BLACK ALUMINUM RIMS. AFTER 33K MILES AND 18 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP WITH ONLY ON ROAD DRIVING. 3 OF THE 4 LOW PROFILE RIMS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SIGNIFICANT CRACKING. AT FIRST THE SYMPTOM WAS VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THEN MY RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WOULD NOT HOLD A BEAD TO THE RIM. DURING THE INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT FRONT THE CRACK WAS NOTED AND THEN ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CHECK. THIS LEAD TO THE REPLACEMENT OF 3 OUT OF 4. I'M STILL WAITING FOR CHEVY TO CLARIFY IF THIS WILL BE A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE WAS DONE BY A AUTHORIZED DEALER. *TR

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE DRIVE SHAFT BROKE OFF. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL. LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL, BUT NO ONE (EVEN WHEN I CONTACTED GM PRIORITY CARE) COULD INFORM ME WHY THIS HAPPENED. WITH ME HAVING TWO SMALL KIDS, I AM STILL CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY ON A SLIGHT DOWNGRADE. I HAD JUST PARKED IT AND WAS UNLOCKING MY FRONT DOOR WHEN I TURNED AROUND AND WITNESSED IT ROLLING BACKWARDS DOWN THE DRIVEWAY TOWARDS THE STREET. I MANAGED TO RUN BACK AND GET IN A STOP IT WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOW AT LEAST 30 FEET FROM WHERE I HAD PARKED IT AND WOULD HAVE CONTINUED FARTHER HAD I NOT STOPPED IT. AFTER THIS I PARKED IT SEVERAL MORE TIMES IN THE SAME SPOT AND IT CONTINUED TO ROLL BACKWARDS WHILE IN PARK. I THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM A VIDEO OF ME TESTING IT. THEY LATER INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS A KNOWN PROGRAMMING ISSUE AND THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TRANSMISSION AND IT SHOULD WORK NOW. THE TRANSMISSION CAN COME OUT OF PARK EVEN WHEN NOT RUNNING. WHEN I ASKED WHY I WAS NOT INFORMED OF SUCH A RECALL THE INFORMED ME THAT IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE THEY WERE CALLING CUSTOMERS ABOUT RATHER THEY WERE JUST FIXING VEHICLES AS THEY CAME IN REPORTING THE ISSUE. I LIVE 3 BLOCKS FROM A MIDDLE SCHOOL AND AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT THERE IS OFTEN CHILDREN WALKING DOWN MY STREET. THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE EASILY SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED SOMEONE YET CHEVY DID NOT CONSIDER THIS A LARGE ENOUGH SAFETY CONCERN TO INFORM OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES.

AIR BAGS
THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED ROADWAY. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING PRIOR TO INCIDENT. GM STATES THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRUCK. I WAS THANKFULLY NOT INJURED AND NO ONE ELSE WAS INJURED. THERE IS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AT ALL. GM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY. THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN "FIXED" BY BOB HOWARD DEALERSHIP IN OKLAHOMA CITY THE MONTH BEFORE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE SEATBELT RECALL WAS ALSO FIXED THE MONTH BEFORE AS WELL. *TR
