NO PART AVAILABLE FOR THE CLIMATE CONTROL, WITH A MAIL IN PROCEDURE AND A 30 DAY TURN AROUND TIME. THIS CREATES A VISIBILITY HAZARD WHILE DRIVING. INABILITY TO CONTROL THE HEAT DURING COLDER CLIMATE WHILE CREATING FOGGY WINDOWS AND TRYING TO TRAVEL. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC! I CANNOT TAKE THE PART OUT FOR A MONTH BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE WEATHER WILL BE LIKE 10 MINUTES FROM NOW AND IF I DID WOULD BE WITHOUT FOR 30 DAYS AND NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO CLEAR A FOGGY WINDSHIELD!

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN HAVING ISSUE AFTER ISSUE WITH SENSORS GOING BAD AND CHECK ENGINGE LIGHT ALWAYS COMING ON. NOW I HAVE A TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH A SOLENOID GOING BAD. THE TRANSMISSION HAS HAD THE "CLUNK" AS PEOPLE DISCRIBE IT SINCE I PURCHASED IT. NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT SO I WAS TOLD AND THAT WAS NORMAL. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THIS YEAR AND MAKE SILVERADO ITS PRETTY SAD THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. NOW MY TRUCK SITS AND STILL PAYING THE NOTE BECAUSE OF THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT A TON OF PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED. HOW MANY THIGS DO I HAVE TO CHANGE BEFORE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STOPS COMING ON. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US WHO OWN A CHEVY AND HAVE GM MAKE THIS RIGHT.

THE LOW BEAM HEAD LIGHTS CONSTANTLY GOES OUT. I HAVE TO SHAKE OR WIGGLE THEM TO GET THEM TO WORK SOMETIMES. FINALLY, THEY WILL STOP WORKING ALL TOGETHER AFTER A FEW DAYS. THE LIGHTS MOST OF THE TIME WILL NOT COME ON AFTER THE TRUCK HAS BEEN SWITCHED OFF AND I START IT UP AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOT COME BACK ON.
