POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
I PARK IN A 5 LEVEL PARKING GARAGE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I WAS LEAVING WHEN I CAME UP TO THE RAMP TO THE NEXT LOWER LEVEL. I LET OFF ON THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE I WENT FROM FLAT TO LOWERING RAMP. THE TRUCK SHIFTED UP TO SECOND GEAR, ACCELERATED AND THROUGH ME TOWARD THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE TRUCK WENT OUT OF MY CONTROL. IF I WERE NOT A SAFE DRIVER I WOULD HAVE STRUCK THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ANOTHER TIME AS WELL. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PROBLEMS WHICH ARE NUMEROUS. I WILL ADDRESS THEM INDIVIDUAL IN FURTHER COMPLAINTS.

AIR BAGS
WHILE ON A DIRT ROAD DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND NO OTHER DAMAGE OCCURRED. GM SENT A 3RD PARTY TO EVALUATE THE VEHICLE AND DECLARED THE WARRANTY VOID SINCE WE HAD INSTALLED A 4" LIFT KIT. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS ON THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK BUT GM SAYS THIS IS UNRELATED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 2016 AND HAD 5089 MILES WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. HOW CAN GM DENY THIS CLAIM. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE TO PROVE THAT THE LIFT KIT CAUSED THE DEPLOYMENT IF THAT IS THEIR REASON FOR DENIAL? NO WHERE IN THE WARRANTY INFORMATION DOES IT STATE INSTALLING A LIFT KIT CAN CAUSE THE SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. NO WHERE ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED FROM THE LIFT KIT MANUFACTURER DOES IT STATE YOUR WARRANTY COULD BE VOID IF YOU INSTALL THE KIT. THIS ISN'T RIGHT. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

AIR BAGS
THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A FULL FRONTAL COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHEN THE OTHER VEHICLE ENTERED THE ROADWAY. THE 2015 SUFFERED EXTENSIVE FRONT DAMAGE AND WAS DECLARED A TOTAL LOSS. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. GM WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE NONE DEPLOYMENT. GM SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INVESTIGATE THE NONE DEPLOYMENT. AFTER THE INVESTIGATION GM NOTIFIED ME THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM FUNCTIONED PROPERLY AND THAT THERE WASN'T ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. I KEPT ALL CORRESPONDENCE FROM GM BECAUSE I FELT THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. THIS VEHICLE WAS LISTED IN A RECENT RECALL FROM GM CONCERNING AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING.

WHEELS
MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 IS EQUIPPED WITH GOODYEAR WRANGLER LS-2 TIRES, IN SIZE 265/65R18. WHEN DRIVING IN WET WEATHER, TAKING A MILD RIGHT OR LEFT HAND TURN CAN RESULT IN COMPLETE LOSS OF TRACTION, RESULTING IN THE TRUCK SPINNING 90 TO 180 DEGREES. THIS HAPPENS AT LOW SPEEDS - YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE DRIVING AT A SPEED THAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD DEEM AS UNSAFE. IN WET WEATHER THE TIRES ACT AS THOUGH YOU ARE DRIVING ON ICE, VERY LITTLE WET WEATHER TRACTION, RESULTING IN THE POSSIBILITY OF LOSS OF CONTROL. I HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE LAST 3 MONTHS, AND HAVE LITTLE CONFIDENCE IN THESE TIRES. I FEEL THEY ARE A SAFETY HAZARD, AND I AM CONCERNED THAT I COULD BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THE LACK OF WET WEATHER TRACTION WITH THESE TIRES.

THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I BOUGHT A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD LAST YEAR AND HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES CONCERNING THE VISIBILITY OF THESE HEADLIGHTS. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH FEW STREET LIGHTS AND RELY ON THESE LIGHTS TO SEE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT SHINING TO SEE CLEARLY AND IF IT'S RAINING, THE VISIBILITY IS NIL. I OWNED THE SAME TYPE VEHICLE IN 2005 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS, MY SUBARU HAS BRIGHTER LIGHT PATTERN THAN MY TRUCK! I CONTACTED THE CHEVY CUSTOMER REP ON 8/17 AND EXPLAINED MY CONCERN. HE SAID THAT THE LIGHTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK THAT WAY AND THEY AREN'T MAKING CHANGES UNLESS THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS. HE SAID HE WAS SORRY BUT THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE WHO TRAVEL ON POORLY LIT ROADS AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS TERRIBLE HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH AND DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD PROPERLY. IF THE LOW BEAMS ARE ADJUSTED HIGHER THE HIGH BEAMS NO LONGER ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. THE HIGH AND LOW BEAMS ARE IN A ONE PIECE ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED INDEPENDENTLY. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH A HIGH DEER POPULATION AND REQUIRE GOOD HEADLIGHTS. IN MY OPINION THE HIGHS AND LOWS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT AND HAVE MUCH BRIGHTER BULBS.

SEAT BELTS
TOOK MY 2015 SILVERADO 1500 IN FOR THE SEAT BELT RECALL. WHEN I PICKED IT UP IT APPEARS THAT THEY JUST CUT THE RUBBER DUST PROTECTOR TO ENLARGE THE HOLE. ON NEW UNSOLD TRUCKS THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL REPLACE THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY WHY NOT ON OUR NEW TRUCKS!. I SPENT OVER 40K ON MY TRUCK FOR THIS HACK JOB! I THINK GM SHOULD REPLACE ALL OF THESE WITH NEW AS THIS IS TERRIBLE WORKMANSHIP!

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE VEHICLE WAS A TOTAL LOSS. LOSS CONTROL WHILE AVOIDING A DEER. SLID INTO DITCH. HIT A DRIVEWAY ENTRANCE. WAS AIRBORNE APPROX. 15 YARDS. NOSE DIVED INTO THE GROUND AND WENT BACK ACROSS THE DITCH INTO A FIELD, TURNED LEFT AND WENT INTO A WOODED AREA OF PINES. LEFT FRONT FENDER MADE CONTACT WITH A PINE ( ABOUT EIGHT INCHES THICK ) PARTIALLY UP ROOTING AND CONTINUED ON TO WEDGE BETWEEN TWO PINES. AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELT TIGHTEN UP SO TIGHT THAT I HAD TO USE A FAIRLY LARGE SCREW DRIVE, THAT I HAD IN THE CENTER CONSOLE, TO BEAT THE RELEASE IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE SEAT BELT. WITH THE VEHICLE GETTING AIRBORNE AND NOSE DIVING INTO THE GROUND AND THE IMPACT OF THE LEFT FRONT FENDER INTO THE TREE, THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING SOUTH EAST ON A HIGHWAY IT WAS APPROX. 9:30 PM.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXCESSIVE SHAKING/VIBRATION IN THIS 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO AND, THUS FAR, GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAVE NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (MOST NOTABLE ABOVE 73 MPH) SINCE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED AUG 2015. AS THEY CAN'T IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, I CAN'T BE SURE THE ORIGIN IS OR IS NOT A SAFETY-REATED CONCERN. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BALANCED, RE-BALANCED, ROTATED, AND ROAD PRESSURE TESTED TIRES TO NO AVAIL. EVEN TRIED A NEW SET OF TIRES OFF OF A 2016 MODEL TO NO AVAIL. AS THIS MATTER CONTINUES AND DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE TIRE-RELATED, I'M WORRIED THAT THE ISSUE MAY BE IN THE SUSPENSION AND WILL, AT SOME POINT, CAUSE OR CREATE A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE.
