UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Rear back up camera and front camera only work intermittently. This is concerning when backing up in congested areas such as busy parking lots and backing out of driveways. The dealership has been made aware of the issue, but I have not had time to take the truck in to get assessed. The only warning I get is a blank screen with a ‘X’ and a camera icon.

STRUCTURE:BODY
Just told by car repair shop; dealer; and frame and body shop that the 2010 Silverado truck we paid $20, 000 for 2-1/2 years ago has a frame that is rotted. All professionals mentioned it is a design flaw GM was aware of. The 2010, however, was not part of their recall. What can we do to seek restitution for this vehicle that now is worth $800 to a scrap yard?

STRUCTURE:BODY
This GM vehicle presents a safety risk to the public. The frame of the 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has prematutely rusted and corroded. GM fully understands and acknowledges this public safety risk only through a "Technical Service Bullitin" (service bulletin number 19-NA-255) which states that GM is aware of the lack of application of protective coating on this year and model. This "technical" concern urgently must be upgraded to a recall. The truck in its entirety and the public are at risk. The premature frame corrosion caused by the failure to apply protective coating which GM acknowledges, can, and presumably has, result in DEATH. The structural integrity of the entire vehicle should not be categorized as a safety bulletin. An incident due to faulty manufacturing resulting in death, is by definition a recall. Above mentioned vehicle does not meet minimum safety standards or poses an unreasonable safety risk due to defects that could harm consumers, hinder performance, or cause legal issues for the manufacturer.

TIRES:TREAD/BELT
Goodyear Wranger At Trailrunner 275 65R20. I was heading home with my 14 year old daughter Sunday night. When I was merging on the on ramp to the highway and I felt a vibration. So I was in the process of slowing down and boom. My truck went broadside in the highway. I gathered it up and got all together. I don’t have a single dash light on or anything. The tire was still holding air. A matter of fact it still is. But when the tread came off it destroyed my bedside and bumper. My truck only has 32,473 miles on it. The tires are rated for 55,000. I just want something to happen to the manufacturer. If that would’ve happened to the right front it would’ve been bad. Or if it happened to a mom and kids. This is not good.

An independent service center noted the integrity of my frame is compromised due to severe rust. The rear passenger side area of the frame near the gas tank is falling off and holes can be poked thru it. My safety is put at risk if I were to get in an accident or even minor collision. Potential for parts to abruptly break due to the rust/corrosion. No warning lamps or messages have appeared.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The interior of the updated 2022+ Silverado 1500 and 2024+ HD Silverado has multiple chrome surfaces lining various components of the dash and center console. When operating the vehicle during daylight hours, the reflectivity of the chrome reflects sunlight and directs glaring light into your eyes at various angles. This glaring and dazzling light reflection causes a direct blinding irritation to the driver that interferes with visibility outside of the vehicle and reduces the driver's ability to safely identify and react to changes in the roadway or surrounding traffic. This is an issue that is widely reported by a multitude of owners across online forums and social media groups.
