THE VEHICLE ACCELERATES ON ITS OWN, SOMETIMES FROM A DEAD STOP, SOMETIMES WHILE GOING AT A SET SPEED IT WILL ACCELERATE WITHOUT PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR.

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY HAVE YET TO REPAIR ANY OF THE PROBLEMS. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NEVER CONTACTED US DESPITE THE PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS. *TR

TIRES, WHEELS
AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY TIRE STARTED GOING FLAT. AFTER CHANGING THE TIRE AND PUTTING THE SPARE ON I NOTICED THAT WHERE THE TIRE WENT FLAT THERE HAD BEEN SEPARATION FROM THE OUTSIDE TIRE AND THE INSIDE OF THE TIRE RUBBER. I NOTICED THAT BOTH MY WRANGLER GOODYEAR P265/70/R17 TIRES HAD BUBBLES IN THEM WHERE THE TIRES ARE SEPARATING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TREAD. THE TIRES DOT NUMBER IS 4BT6 FDER 0610. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO. THE TIRES ARE ON A 2010 CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUP. *TR

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES ARE LEAKING WHERE RUBBER HOSE IS CRIMPED ONTO METAL HOSE, GM PART #25999419. DEALER IS AWARE OF ISSUE, AND STATES IT IS VERY COMMON, BUT WOULD NOT REPLACE UNDER WARRANTY. VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD BUT HAS 47,XXX MILES ON IT AND THE WARRANTY IS ONLY 3 YEARS / 36,000 MILES. IF THE LINE BUSTS, IT COULD CAUSE THE TRANSMISSION TO STOP SHIFTING AND WOULD BE UNSAFE AS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID WOULD LEAK EVERYWHERE. *TR

VEHICLE RUNNING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH AND STEERING BEGAN TO WOBBLE. CHECKED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRES ..

TECHNICIAN VISUALLY INSPECTED TIRE AT PARKING LOT AND CLAIMED THAT FAULT WAS LIKELY CAUSED BY TIRE HITTING A POTHOLE OR CURB. TECHNICIAN REFUSE TO PROVIDE ANY FORM OF WARRANTY FOR TIRE. A BULGE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TIRE THREAD ISN'T GOOD. NEVER SEEN A TIRE BULGING LIKE THIS BEFORE. LOOKS LIKE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. WILL BRING IT TO ANOTHER TIRE SHOP TO HAVE IT REPLACED.

MY TRUCK HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM FROM THE TIME IT WAS MADE. THEY DESIGNED THE DEFROSTER TO WORK WITH THE AC UNIT TO PRODUCE DRY AIR. BUT ONCE THE OUTSIDE TEMP DROPS BELOW 35 DEGREES THE AC UNIT SHUTS OFF. WITH THIS SETUP IT CAUSES MY WINDOWS TO FOG UP WITH MOIST AIR REQUIRING ME TO PULL OFF THE ROAD UNTIL I CAN GET THE WINDOW CLEARED. OVER THE LAST TWO YEARS I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND CHEVROLET AND HAVE NOT GOT ANY HELP. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION 1: ELECTRICAL FIRE IN CAR, SHORTS OUR POWER TO PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. ELECTRIC WINDOWS WON'T WORK, POWER DOOR LOCKS WON'T WORK. ON GM VEHICLES, WITH POWER DOOR LOCKS THERE IS NO WAY TO ESCAPE FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. OUTCOME: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION 2: VEHICLE SUBMERGED IN WATER SHORTING OUT POWER. NO WAY TO ESCAPE, AS ELECTRIC WINDOWS DON'T WORK AND POWER LOCKS DON'T WORK. OUTCOME: SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION 3: SITTING IN VEHICLE, HOT SUMMER DAY, FUSE BLOWS, ELECTRICAL SHORT, OR BATTERY DIES, WITH WINDOWS UP, AND DOORS LOCKED, NO WAY TO ESCAPE SHORT OF BREAKING WINDOW, IF ABLE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, GM VEHICLES WITH POWER WINDOWS AND POWER DOOR LOCKS HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE. SIMPLE SOLUTION DO AS ALL OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURES DO, CONNECT DOOR HANDLES TO OPEN DOOR EVEN IF LOCKED. *JS

WHEN IT RAINS OR WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 32F ALL THE WINDOWS STEAM UP AND THE DEFROSTER WILL NOT CLEAR THEM UP. THIS CONDITION MAKES IT VARY HARD TO SEE OUT THE WINDOWS. I HAVE 2 OF THESE 2010 SILVERADOS AND THEY BOTH DO THE SAME THING. THE DEALER RAY SKILLMAN 3891 SOUTH POST ROAD INDIANAPOLIS IN TOLD ME THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET HAS NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT THIS CONDITION COULD COST MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AND OTHER PEOPLE THEIR LIVES. *TR

THE DEFROST DOES NOT WORK WELL. IT ONLY SEEMS TO CLEAR ABOUT A 2FT SECTION OF THE MIDDLE OF THE WINDOW. BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES OF THE WINDSHIELD REMAIN FOGGED UP SO YOU CANNOT SEE TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

AT TEMPS STARTING AROUND 35 DEGREES THE DEFROSTER STOPS WORKING AND THE INSIDE WINDOWS FOG UP LEAVING NO VISIBILITY AT ALL. SO FAR THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR IT IS TO OPEN WINDOWS AND WAIT. NOT GOOD WHEN ITS COLD. MOISTURE BUILDS UP LIKE A STEAMY SHOWER ON A MIRROR. I HAVE READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND IF THERE ISN'T A RECALL TO FIX THEN THERE SHOULD BE LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST CHEVROLET AND THIS WEB SITE FOR NOT TAKING ACTION. OR ARE WE ALL SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE START DYING IN ACCIDENTS FIRST? *TR
