EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE UTILIZING THE HIGH BEAM FUNCTION OF THE PROJECTION LIGHTING SHAKE OR RATTLE WHEN TRAVELING OVER BUMPS ON THE ROAD CAUSING A FLICKERING AFFECT OF THE LIGHTS. I HAVE HAD THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY REPLACED AND THE DEFECT IS STILL PRESENT. I HAVE DRIVEN TWO 2017 AND ONE 2018 SILVERADO PICKUPS AND THE DEFECT WAS ALSO PRESENT. THIS DEFECT IS VERY DISTRACTING DURING NIGHTTIME DRIVING AND POSES A SAFETY RISK DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATIONS.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I HEARD IT POP AFTER TURNING ON DEFROSTER. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET / GM VEHICLES SPANNING MANY YEARS.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
OUR 2017 SILVERADO 1500 TRUCK WENT INTO LOW POWER MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 75 MPH. IT STARTED TO RUN REALLY ROUGH AND ALL OF A SUDDEN ALL THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON THE DASH AND IT LOST POWER. THE LIGHT ON THE DASH WAS FLASHING LOW POWER MODE. COULDN'T GET ABOVE 35 MPH PUTTING US IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION WITH TRAFFIC FLOWING 70 MPH + HAD TO TRY TO MANEUVER OFF THE INTERSTATE. TURNED IT OFF TO RESET IT AND IT DROVE NORMAL BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE ECM. I FOUND SEVERAL OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS PROBLEM BEING REPORTED ON GM AND CHEVROLET DISCUSSION FORUMS.

THERE'S A BOX UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CAN VIBRATE LOOSE AND FALL BY YOUR FEET WHILE DRIVING. IT FALLS RIGHT BESIDE THE BRAKE AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY BRAKE WITHOUT IT SWINGING AROUND. IT CAN BE REPLACED BUT IS CAPABLE OF VIBRATING LOOSE OVER AND OVER.

MY VEHICLE IS A PICKUP WITH THE Z71 OFF ROAD PACKAGE. I USE IT WORKING ON FARM AND PASTURE LAND WHICH REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE OFF ROAD IN TALL GRASS AND BRUSH AT TIMES. I NOTICED, AND IT WAS CALLED TO ATTENTION, THAT GRASS AND BRUSH WAS COLLECTING AROUND THE REAR AXLE, DRIVE LINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. I GOT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND TWO LARGE PLASTIC CLAMPS AROUND THE AXLE HOUSING THAT HAVE A LARGE V SHAPED OPENING FACING THE FRONT OF THE PICKUP. THE CLAMPS ARE CATCHING AND HOLDING GRASS AND BRUSH WHICH THEN BUILDS UP AS THE VEHICLE TRAVELS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NUMBER ONE COULD CAUSE A FIRE, CAUSE DAMAGE AND FAILURE OF THE DRIVE LINE AND ENDANGERS MY SAFETY BY HAVING TO CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE THE BRUSH AND GRASS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW 6/25/17 TO CURRENT.

AIR BAGS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS. THE DEALER WANTS $100.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I DONT HAVE FUNDS SO I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR THE RECALL TO BE SURE. I WAS SENT A NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. AND HAVE FILLED OUT A CLAIM BUT STILL DONT KNOW IF I QUALIFY. IT SHOWED ON ONE WEBSITE THAT THERE IS A RECALL SO I WOULD RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY NOT TO GO THE FULL ROUTE AND BE SURE MY TRUCK'S AIRBAG IS SAFE.

REAR FACING CAMERA CAN NOT BE DIMMED. WHEN BACKING AT NIGHT, CAMERA DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT YOU CAN'T USE YOUR MIRRORS. YOU CAN NOT FOCUS ON ANYTHING THAT MAY BE ALONG SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE OUT OF SIGHT OF THE CAMERA. I HAVE READ THAT OLDER YEAR VEHICLES HAVE A CAMERA DISPLAY DIM FEATURE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE (WHILE STOPPED, FROM EITHER PARK OR NEUTRAL) THE BACKUP CAMERA VIEW APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. THE ISSUE IS WHEN IT IS DARK OUTSIDE, THE DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT THAT IT BLINDS THE DRIVER. I AM UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS OR MIRRORS. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO DIM THE SCREEN WHILE THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY IS ON THE SCREEN. THE SCREEN IS SO BRIGHT THAT IS TAKES A FEW MOMENTS TO REGAIN NIGHT VISION. WHEN I THEN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR DRIVE (BUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE MOVES) THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY IS ON THE SCREEN BUT IT IS DIMMED. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.
