TRUCK BEGAN TO HAVE THE CHEVY SHAKES ABOUT THE 12K MILE POINT AND HAS INCREASINGLY GOTTEN WORSE THE MORE MILEAGE THE TRUCK GAINS ( CURRENTLY 14K MILES) I HAVE CALLED AND TALKED TO TECHNICIANS ABOUT THIS AND THEY ENSURED ME THAT ITS NORMAL. I'VE OWNED SEVERAL TRUCKS AND I HAVE NEVER NOT BEEN ABLE TO GO OVER SPEEDS OF 55 WITHOUT HAVING TERRIBLE SHAKES AND WOBBLES IN MY TRUCK. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS PROPERLY AND FIX THE ISSUE OR BUY BACK THE TRUCKS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THIS ISSUE, WHEN A PERSON SPENDS 50K + ON A VEHICLE THIS SHOULD BE THE LAST THING THE SHOULD HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IS FEELING SAFE IN THEIR VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVROLET PRODUCT AGAIN DUE TO NOT ONLY THIS BUT A NUMBER OF OTHER ISSUES I HAVE WITH THE TRUCK INCLUDING HARD SHIFTING AND EXTREME LACK OF POWER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE FAILED TO OBEY A STOP SIGN. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BACK, NECK, LEG, ARM, AND HEAD INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED FROM THE SCENE TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V651000 (AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 14,000.

ON SEPT 21 2016 I ARRIVED AT MY HOME. I DROVE UP MY GRAVEL DRIVEWAY IN D(DRIVE) AND SLOWED TO A STOP AND MY TRUCK BEGAN TO ROLL BACKWARD UNDER MY CONTROL. I WAS CHECKING ON THE GROUND FOR LAWN DAMAGE. THE TRUCK SHUTTERED TWICE, SHUT OFF AND STARTED TO ROLL BACKWARD TOWARD A TREE. I QUICKLY REGAINED CONTROL WITH A PANIC STOP. I WAS ABLE TO PLACE THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RESTART THE TRUCK. I HAD LOST CONTROL OF THE TRUCK.

I PARK IN A 5 LEVEL PARKING GARAGE. SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, I WAS LEAVING WHEN I CAME UP TO THE RAMP TO THE NEXT LOWER LEVEL. I LET OFF ON THE ACCELERATOR BEFORE I WENT FROM FLAT TO LOWERING RAMP. THE TRUCK SHIFTED UP TO SECOND GEAR, ACCELERATED AND THROUGH ME TOWARD THE VEHICLE IN FRONT. THE TRUCK WENT OUT OF MY CONTROL. IF I WERE NOT A SAFE DRIVER I WOULD HAVE STRUCK THE VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ANOTHER TIME AS WELL. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PROBLEMS WHICH ARE NUMEROUS. I WILL ADDRESS THEM INDIVIDUAL IN FURTHER COMPLAINTS.

WHILE ON A DIRT ROAD DRIVING AT A SLOW SPEED, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AND NO OTHER DAMAGE OCCURRED. GM SENT A 3RD PARTY TO EVALUATE THE VEHICLE AND DECLARED THE WARRANTY VOID SINCE WE HAD INSTALLED A 4" LIFT KIT. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS ON THIS PARTICULAR TRUCK BUT GM SAYS THIS IS UNRELATED. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW IN MARCH OF 2016 AND HAD 5089 MILES WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. HOW CAN GM DENY THIS CLAIM. SHOULDN'T THEY HAVE TO PROVE THAT THE LIFT KIT CAUSED THE DEPLOYMENT IF THAT IS THEIR REASON FOR DENIAL? NO WHERE IN THE WARRANTY INFORMATION DOES IT STATE INSTALLING A LIFT KIT CAN CAUSE THE SIDE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. NO WHERE ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED FROM THE LIFT KIT MANUFACTURER DOES IT STATE YOUR WARRANTY COULD BE VOID IF YOU INSTALL THE KIT. THIS ISN'T RIGHT. ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

IT HAS A SHAKE THAT IS MAKING ME NAUSEOUS AND SOMETIMES FEELING DIZZY. VERY NOTICEABLE 65 ~ 75 MPH SINCE NEW
