ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
MY TRUCK ON A FEW DIFFERENT OCCASIONS HAS HAD THE STABILITY OF ARMING COME ON OUT OF NOWHERE AND GO OFF. WHEN I BACK MY TRUCK IN MY DRIVE WAY A COUPLE TIMES WHEN I AM GOING BACKWARDS AND TURNING I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK ALMOST DIE DUE TO THE DRAW FROM THE POWERSTERING PUMP AS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE DIE ONCE WHILE BACKING IT IN THE DRIVEWAY LEAVING ME STRANDED IN THE STREET FOR A MINUTE WHILE THE TRUCK SEEMED TO RE-BOOT. WHEN I AM IN PARK AT NIGHT IF THE TRUCK IS RUNNING IN PARK WITH THE LIGHTS ON AND I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BACK AND FORTH THE LIGHT WILL REALLY DIM AND PULSE AS THE STEERING WHEEL GOES BACK AND FORTH. WITH THESE ISSUES I HOPE THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AT AN INTERSECTION OR SOMEWHERE WITH MORE TRAFFIC AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

SEATS
WHEN DRIVING (SITTING IN DRIVERS SEAT), WHEN YOU GO AROUND A CORNER YOU CAN FEEL THE SEAT MOVING. IT SEEMS TIGHT WHEN YOU GET OUT AND TRY MOVING IT BUT WHEN DRIVING AND TURNING CORNERS YOU CAN FEEL THE SEAT MOVE SLIDING SIDE TO SIDE. TALKED WITH DEALERSHIP ON PROBLEM, THEY CLAIM IT NEEDS A SHIM KIT. BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE TO DIAGNOSE WHAT I DEEM TO BE A SAFETY PROBLEM. AT SOME POINT THE SEAT MAY COME COMPLETELY FREE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN, USUALLY ALWAYS USING TURN SIGNAL, MY TRUCK WILL COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WITH NO WARNING. THE ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AND ALL ELECTRICAL IS LOST. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRYING TO RESTART MY TRUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. AFTER I GET TRUCK STARTED THERE ARE NUMEROUS ERROR CODES IN THE DISPLAY: OPEN AND CLOSE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW, STABILATRAK, STEERING WHEEL ASSIST, STABILATRAK REDUCE SPEED B/C OF STEERING ASSIST, 2 KEYS PROGRAMMED. ALSO WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGH RATE OF SPEED (70-80 MPH) ON HIGHWAY THE STABILATRAK ERROR WOULD APPEAR WHEN I PUT TURN SIGNAL ON TO CHANGE LANES BUT TRUCK HAS NOT YET SHUT DOWN UNDER THAT CONDITION. I HAVE TAKEN MY TRUCK TO 2 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERS FOR THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE LAST TIME THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN ON ME WAS 9-19-2018 AND THE TRUCK DID NOT START RIGHT AWAY AND MY 4-WAY FLASHERS DID NOT WORK WHILE I WAS STRANDED IN THE INTERSECTION.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I AM THE 2ND OWNER AND HAVE ONLY OWNED IT FOR 10 MONTHS. I HAVE FREQUENTLY HEARD CRACKING/POPPING NOISES WHILE DRIVING, BUT NO OTHER TRAFFIC NEAR, AND NO DAMAGE TO WINDSHIELD. THIS MORNING, I GOT IN THE TRUCK AND NOTICED A VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE WINDSHIELD. AS I HAVEN'T EVER HIT A ROCK IN THIS TRUCK, I WAS VERY CURIOUS. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION, THERE IS ZERO EVIDENCE OF ANY EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED SUCH A LARGE AND SPONTANEOUS CRACK TO APPEAR WHILE I WAS IN BED SLEEPING LAST NIGHT. TO BE FAIR, I HAVEN'T REPORTED IT TO A DEALER YET SINCE I JUST FOUND THE CRACK THIS MORNING, BUT THAT WILL BE MY NEXT STEP, ALTHOUGH I'M HIGHLY PESSIMISTIC THAT THEY WILL BE WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT (WHAT APPEARS IN MY OPINION TO BE) A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. MY VERY FIRST SEARCH ON THE INTERNET LED ME TO MANY MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEMS (MYSTERIOUS CRACK/POP SOUNDS WHEN NO OTHER TRAFFIC IS AROUND, OR DRIVING SLOWLY, AND SUDDEN/SPONTANEOUS CRACKS WITH NO ASSOCIATED DAMAGE TO THE GLASS. TO BE CLEAR, THIS CRACK APPEARD OVER NIGHT WHILE I WAS SLEEPING!
