ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WAS DRIVING TO PHYSICAL THERAPY. PULLED UP TO A STOP LIGHT AND "STABILITRACK FAILURE" POPED UP. WAS PULLING INTO THE DOCTORS OFFICE NOT 8 MIN L8R CAME UP AGAIN BUT THIS TIME STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP THEN UN LOCKED THEN LOCKED UP MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE. THANKFULLY I WAS GOING AT AN EXTREMELY LOW SPEED AND I COULD CONTROL THE VEHICLE BETWEEN IT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. WHEN I LEFT THE DOCTORS OFFICE I NOTICED MY SETTINGS RESET. EX DASHBOARD DISPLAY SHOWED THE RADIO STATION INSTEAD OF THE FUEL ECONOMY. I SIMPLY CHANGED IT AND NOTICED THE COMPUTER ERASED MY PREVIOUS FUEL ECONOMY. I'M ASSUMING THEIRS SOME MALFUNCTION BETWEEN THE COMPUTER AND THESE SYSTEMS. AND FROM THE LOOKS OF IT MY VEHICLE ISN'T THE ONLY VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND I'LL BE TAKING THIS BACK TO THE DEALER AND IT WILL BE FIXED AND NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN OR I WON'T PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT REPLACED THE TIRES, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER LOCAL DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FAILURE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITHOUT A REMEDY. THE VIBRATION BECAME WORSE, CAUSING MOTION SICKNESS FOR THE DRIVER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT THE REMEDY WAS NOT WORKED OUT YET. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 3,000.

HERE'S MY STORY FOR THOSE THAT WILL LISTEN. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND A FEW DAYS LATER I MENTIONED TO THE SALESMAN THAT IT DROVE UNUSUAL AND HE REPLIED THAT IT COULD BE FROM SITTING ON THE LOT...SO I WAITED FOR THE FIRST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND LET THEM KNOW THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING NOT RIGHT WITH THE SHIFTING OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTED THAT IT WAS LOUD CLUNKING AT DOWNSHIFT FROM 3RD TO 2ND GEAR AND ALSO A CLUNK SHIFT WHEN THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A COMPLETE STOP. THE DOWNSHIFT IS SO HARD THAT IT IS FELT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS THE PART TO ME THAT RAISES THE SAFETY CONCERN. THE RESPONSE WAS THAT THEY CHECKED IT AND THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT SHOULD GET SMOOTHER AS IT BREAK IN. THEY WENT ON TO SAY IF I BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND NOTHING IS FOUND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE. SO NOW AT APPROX. 20,000 MILES AND I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS. THEY AGREED FOR MORE DIAGNOSTIC AND NOW THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT STATES THAT IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. NOW THE VEHICLE HAS FEELS LIKE IT GOT WORSE AND DRIVES TERRIBLE AND UNSAFE. MEANWHILE THERE ARE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND NOBODY HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT'S FUNNY THAT 2016 SILVERADO IS THE SAME TRUCK BUT WITHOUT THE PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PRODUCTIONS MISTAKE AND SUPPORT THERE PRODUCT. SILVERADO DRIVERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CONDITION SHOULD COMPLAIN TO MAKE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBLE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AFTER DRIVING IN ANY TYPE OF MOISTURE (RAIN, SNOW, SLEET) THE HIGHBEAM LIGHTS HAVE CONDENSTATION COVERING MOST OR ALL OF THE LENS INSIDE. THIS MOISTUE WILL VARY BASED ON THE MILES DRIVEN AND INTENSITY OF THE SNOW OR RAIN REGARDLESS IF HIGHWAY OR CITY DRIVING. IT DOES APPEAR WORSE WITH HIGHWAY DRIVING. CHEVROLET SAYS "THIS IS NORMAL AND WE WILL ONLY REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY IF THERE IS STANDING MOISTURE. THE HIGHBEAMS ARE FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. " THIS MOISTURE DOES INHIBIT THE LUMINS OR LIGHT COMING FROM THE HIGHBEAMS.
