GOODYEAR TIRES DELAMINATING ! GOODYEAR WRANGLER SRA, LT265/60R20E TRAVELING ON I-40 IN ARIZONA IN OCTOBER 2016 AND A REAR TIRE COMES APART FOR NO APPARENT REASON WITH ONLY 24K ON THE TRUCK. SAFELY STOPPED THE TRUCK AND INSTALLED THE SPARE TIRE. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS KILLED OR INJURED AND THE TRUCK AND R/V DID NOT ROLL OVER AND CRASH ! NOW FEELING BUMPING IN THE OTHER THREE TIRES DUE TO ONSET OF DELAMINATION. TOOK TRUCK TO THE CHEVY DEALER IN LAKE HAVASU CITY AND THEY TOLD ME... WE WILL REPLACE THE ONE TIRE THAT HAS GROSSLY CAME APART BUT...NOPE SORRY WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING WITH THE OTHERS "WE DON'T SEE A BUBBLE" THE DEALER IN HAS TOLD ME TO "RUN THEM THERE FINE". THESE TIRES ARE SEPARATING TOO AND IF I DO AS THE DEALER SUGGESTS BY "RUN THEM THERE FINE" AND ANOTHER ONE LETS GO AND I WRECK OUT KILLING MY WIFE AND CHILDREN AND SMEAR BODIES ALL OVER THE HIGHWAY, WHO'S ON THE HOOK ??? DISGUSTING HOW THIS DEALERSHIPS DECISIONS ABOUT AN ENTIRE FAMILIES SAFETY AND THAT ON THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS BASED ON NOTHING MORE THEM PROFIT !!!

I BOUGHT A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD LAST YEAR AND HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES CONCERNING THE VISIBILITY OF THESE HEADLIGHTS. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH FEW STREET LIGHTS AND RELY ON THESE LIGHTS TO SEE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT SHINING TO SEE CLEARLY AND IF IT'S RAINING, THE VISIBILITY IS NIL. I OWNED THE SAME TYPE VEHICLE IN 2005 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS, MY SUBARU HAS BRIGHTER LIGHT PATTERN THAN MY TRUCK! I CONTACTED THE CHEVY CUSTOMER REP ON 8/17 AND EXPLAINED MY CONCERN. HE SAID THAT THE LIGHTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK THAT WAY AND THEY AREN'T MAKING CHANGES UNLESS THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS. HE SAID HE WAS SORRY BUT THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE WHO TRAVEL ON POORLY LIT ROADS AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. I'M UNABLE TO SEE MORE THAN 20' IN FRONT OF THE THE TRUCK. CHEVY SAID THE HEADLIGHTS WERE UPDATED BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I'VE HIT SEVERAL OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD BECAUSE I SIMPLY COULDNT SEE IT. I'VE HAD PREVIOUS GENERATIONS OF THIS MODEL AND THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST HEADLIGHT SETUP. I'VE READ THOUSANDS OF ONLINE POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON VARIOUS FORUMS, SO APPEARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHILE MOVING. THE DARKER THE ROADWAY THE WORSE THE PROBLEM BECOMES. THANKS

AT FIRST THE STEERING WAS HEAVY AT TIMES WHEN I WOULD MAKE A 3 POINT TURN OR IF I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THEN MOVING FORWARD. THEN ONE TIME IT COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AS I MERGED INTO CITY TRAFFIC COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT.

THE HEAD LIGHTS ON A DARK RAINY NIGHT ARE SO POOR IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE, IF YOU MEET ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE JUST HOLD ON AND HOPE YOU DO NOT HIT EACH OTHER, AS YOU CAN'T TELL YOU ARE GOING TO. I HAVE HAD IT BACK FOR REPAIR BUT THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR A CHEVY, IF I HAD A GMC THERE IS A FIX. MY RADIO WILL NOT WORK WHEN ITS REALLY COLD OUT. MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARSHLY AND ENGINE FLUTTERS BETWEEN GEARS. WHEN I SLOW DOWN COMING INTO TOWN I FEEL A HARD DOWN SHIFT, ALSO IF GOING SLOW AND CLIMBING A HILL THAT IS WHEN IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE HAS A SMALL SKIP BUT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING INTO A LOWER GEAR. THERE IS ALSO NO FIX FOR POOR SHIFTING.

SNOW ON THE ROAD SLID OFF IN THE DITCH NO IMPACT WITH ANYTHING WAS COMING BACK OUT OF DITCH AIRBAGS DEPLOYED TRUCK SHUT OFF.

LOST TRAILER BRAKES AND TRAILER LIGHTING WHEN ON ROUGH ROADS DUE TO UPSIDE DOWN TRAILER WIRING PLUG RECEIVER ON TRUCK. DOOR OPENS DOWN INSTEAD OF UP AS IN THE PAST AND 7 WIRE RV PLUG IS TOO HEAVY TO STAY PLUGGED IN ALL THE WAY. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN GOING DOWN A HILL WITH A LOADED TRAILER. DEALER SAID YES THEY HAVE HAD COMPLAINTS BUT THEY CAN'T SEEM TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND NOTHING FROM GM FOR SERVICE BULLETINS. WE HAVE 3 HD2500 SILVERADOS 2015 & 2016 AND ALL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. GET TIRED SEEING MESSAGE SERVICE TRAILER WIRING. CAN BE SET OFF BY TURNS OR BUMPS.
