  ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  THIS IS A FAILURE OF ALL AUTOS. WHY NOT REQUIRE ALL AUTO MAKERS TO HOOK UP CARS LIGHTS TO THEIR WINDSHIELD WIPERS? THAT WAY IF WIPERS ARE ON LIGHTS ARE ON. *JB

  LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH

  I HAVE SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ON THE 2005 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PU TRUCKS. THE LOCATION AND GENERAL SHAPE OF THESE HANDLES MAKE THEM VERY EASY TO ACCIDENTLY OPEN WHILE VEHICLE IS MOVING. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AUTO LOCKS , HOWEVER, THESE SAFETY LOCKS DON'T SEEM TO ALWAYS FUNCTION. THERE ARE CERTAIN SITUATIONS WHEN A DOOR CAN BE UNLOCKED AND THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS DOES NOT RELOCK. Y WIFE WAS INJURED ON THE INCIDENT DATE. SHE HAD REMOVED HER SEAT BELT TO RETRIEVE ITEMS FROM FLOORBOARD WHEN HER PURSE STRAP SNAGGED ON DOOR HANDLE AND CAUSED THE DOOR TO OPEN. SHE FELL FROM A VEHICLE MOVING AT APPROXIMATELY 35-40 MPH. SHE SUFFERED A CLOSED HEAD INJURY AND CLAVICLE FRACTURE.*AK

  SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:POWER ADJUST

  EASY EXIT AND KEYLESS ENTRY FUNCTION ON KEY FOB DO NOT OPERATE 10 WAY POWER SEAT. ON EXIT SEAT GOES FULL BACK, BUT HAS TO MANUALLY BE REPOSITIONED TO SETTING 1 OR 2. KEY FOB 1 AND 2 DO NOT POSTION SEAT TO PRE-SET POSITIONS 1 AND 2. DEALER NOTED THE COMPUTER INFORMATION CENTER DOES NOT (THIS YEAR) HAVE THE QUESTION CONCERNING OPTIONS FOR ACTIVATION OF THE EASY EXIT BUTTON. THEREFORE, IT COULD BE CONCLUDED THERE IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE IN THE COMPUTER PROGRAM. I.E. IF THE USER NEVER SELECTS ONE OF THE OPTIONS FOR THE EASY EXIT/KEY FOB PROGRAMS, THEY MAY WELL BE IN THE DEFAULT MODE (NOT ACTIVATED) THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO DEALER AND GM (CASE NUMBER OPENED). *AK
