2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I OWN A GRAY 2015 SILVERADO AND THE PAINT IS FLAKING OFF ON NUMEROUS SPOTS ALL OVER THE VEHICLE. THE FLAKES ARE THE SIZE OF A PIN HEAD AND APPEAR TO BE MAINLY AROUND THE GRILL AND FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY LOW BEAM HEADLAMP PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE A PROJECTOR STYLE HEADLAMP CONFIGURATION WHICH EMITS A VERY FOCUSED BEAM OF LIGHT THAT IS SO NARROW FROM SIDE TO SIDE THAT WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN YOU HAVE EXTREMELY LIMITED PERIPHERAL VISION. THE BEAM OF LIGHT IS FAR ENOUGH AHEAD OF THE TRUCK AND HAS SUCH A SHARP CUTOFF LINE, YOU CANNOT SEE IF THERE IS ANYBODY STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK WAITING TO CROSS. IT'S ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE YOU CAN TURN FROM STREET TO STREET BECAUSE THERE AGAIN IS SUCH A LIMITED FIELD OF LIGHT PROJECTED. OVERALL THE HEADLAMPS ARE VERY DIM. HIGH BEAM PERFORMANCE IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE BOTH THE LOW AND HIGH BEAMS LAMPS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE HIGH BEAM LAMP IS A COMPLEX REFLECTOR CONFIGURATION THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND WORKS WELL. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT HIGH BEAMS ARE USED VERY LITTLE BECAUSE OF THE OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS ON THE ROAD. IT'S A SHAME THAT A PICKUP WITH A LIST PRICE OF OVER $50,000 HAS SUCH POOR HEADLAMPS.

AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS BETWEEN 58 AND 74 MPH, THERE IS A VIBRATION THAT SHAKES THE TRUCK. MY FIRST TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID 3 OF THE 4 TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACE, WHICH WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 3500 MILES, WHEN I TOOK IT THE FIRST TIME. THE PROBLEM WAS STABLE FOR A FEW THOUSAND MILES, AND THEN STARTED TO GET BAD, I CALLED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT, AND THE TRUCK HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR OVER A WEEK NOW, AND THEY HAVE REPLACE THE ONE TIRE THAT WASN'T ORGINALLY REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE EXHAUST SYSTEM.

THE 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY COMES STANDARD WITH A GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2, SIZE: P275/55R20. THE WET AND DRY TRACTION OF THIS MODEL OF GOODYEAR TIRE IS POOR AT BEST. ON WET ROAD SURFACES, THE TIRES BREAK TRACTION ON CORNERS AND UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION. SNOW TRACTION IS NON-EXISTENT EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MUD AND SNOW RATED. THESE TIRES ARE A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING ON THE CHEVROLET 1500 HIGH COUNTRY PROJECTOR STYLE HEADLAMPS IS VERY POOR. LOW LIGHT OUTPUT AND WHAT LIGHT THERE IS IN VERY NARROWLY FOCUSED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. LITTLE OR NO LIGHTING TO THE SIDES WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN MAKING A TURN.

I HAVE THE SPECIAL RALLY EDITION OF THIS TRUCK IN WHICH COMES WITH 22" BLACK ALUMINUM RIMS. AFTER 33K MILES AND 18 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP WITH ONLY ON ROAD DRIVING. 3 OF THE 4 LOW PROFILE RIMS HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO SIGNIFICANT CRACKING. AT FIRST THE SYMPTOM WAS VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. THEN MY RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER TIRE WOULD NOT HOLD A BEAD TO THE RIM. DURING THE INSPECTION OF THE RIGHT FRONT THE CRACK WAS NOTED AND THEN ALL FOUR TIRES WERE CHECK. THIS LEAD TO THE REPLACEMENT OF 3 OUT OF 4. I'M STILL WAITING FOR CHEVY TO CLARIFY IF THIS WILL BE A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT. ALL MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE WAS DONE BY A AUTHORIZED DEALER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND COLLIDED HEAD ON WITH A TREE LIMB. DURING THE INCIDENT, THE ROLL SENSORS WERE ACTIVATED CAUSING BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS TO ERRONEOUSLY DEPLOY. NO POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, THE DRIVE SHAFT BROKE OFF. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOSE CONTROL. LUCKILY, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE SHOULDER WITHOUT CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE DRIVE SHAFT AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL, BUT NO ONE (EVEN WHEN I CONTACTED GM PRIORITY CARE) COULD INFORM ME WHY THIS HAPPENED. WITH ME HAVING TWO SMALL KIDS, I AM STILL CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *TR

THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A PAVED ROADWAY. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING PRIOR TO INCIDENT. GM STATES THAT THEY WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE TRUCK. I WAS THANKFULLY NOT INJURED AND NO ONE ELSE WAS INJURED. THERE IS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK AT ALL. GM HAS ABSOLUTELY NO CONCERN FOR THE PUBLIC SAFETY. THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN "FIXED" BY BOB HOWARD DEALERSHIP IN OKLAHOMA CITY THE MONTH BEFORE THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE SEATBELT RECALL WAS ALSO FIXED THE MONTH BEFORE AS WELL. *TR

SEAT BELT RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED AND RUBBER SKIRTING AROUND TENSIONER CABLE WAS CUT AWAY LEAVING RAGGED EDGES THAT EXPOSES THE CABLE AND SHEATH TO EXCESSIVE WEAR. IT IS ALSO COSMETICALLY UNACCEPTABLE. *TR
