I was towing my travel trailer and the brakes failed,I totaled the camper in front of me. The notification letter from gm said even in the hard pedal situation the brakes are still in safety specs, not with a 7,000 lb trailer behind the truck. I feel gm should cover the costs of damage and update the latest notification letter to include letting the people who tow know they aren't going to stop in time. Also gm pulled the data from my truck, the airbags did not deploy, and didn't inspect the vacuum pump or the hood, bumper, grill or fenders all were thrown away. The investigator that pulled the data said it was incomplete yet gm says it's not their problem there were no codes present at the time of the accident. Appalled vincent p o�neil.

Traveling approx 30mph, on a city street, another vehicle turned left in front of me, I did not even have time to hit the brakes. Both the front driver and passenger airbag deployed but the driver seatbelt did not lock up. I came completely out of the drivers seat, my chest hit the airbag and my lower abdomen and upper thighs were bruised badly from hitting the steering wheel. I also had neck pain for 2 days afterward. I had a passenger in the front seat and that seatbelt locked, the passenger was not injured and only a little sore in the neck and back the next day.

Interior driver side front driver window button not always working. At times when this happens the door ajar is lit, while the door may be shut, it doesn't latch completely. This happens when the vehicle is in motion or in park. This causes the interior lamps to stay on and drain out the battery. I did have it serviced under warranty. Problem was solved, until today 08/10/2018.

I have a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 that has approximately 44,000 miles on it and is garage kept. I have several cracks around my passenger side airbag which could pose a safety issue even though gm said the cracks will not.

October 31, 2014 on my home from work I heard a bang. The truck pulled very hard to the left taking me into the concrete barrier that divides the highway. Vehicle was in motion us highway 41/45 65 mph. After the truck was investigated at the dealer to give an estimate on the damage it was discovered the left rear axel was broken. Questioning the dealer about this issue and not getting anywhere I talked to different mechanics that I know after a week or so it was discovered there was a recal for insuffcient heat treated rear axles talking to the dealer and I was told this did not pertain to my vehicle as the recall was taken care of at the factory. I cantacted Chevrolet and was told that because I had given the ok for the dealer to make the repairs. My insurance company would need to fole paper work against Chevrolet which myself I believe is wrong . I was also told by the dealer broken axle was typical of this kind of impact. There is no damage on the side panel or rear of the truck I do have pictures on my phone which I have not downloaded to my computer.

I was driving along and had to hit the brakes immediately. I almost hit the car in front of me. I noticed I had to start putting the brakes all the way to the floor in order to stop, especially on an incline. The brake light went on and off a few times so I took it to a shop to have it looked at. They told me that my brake line blew and all the other brake lines are rusted and the truck is not safe to drive. This truck is only 11 years old, that is absolutely unacceptable that all the brake lines are rusted. The truck only has 108k miles. I called a local chevy dealership and they quoted me 3k+ to fix it. It involved at least 20 hours of labor and they needed to lift the frame off to fix. I can not believe their are no recalls from gm or atleast them offering any help to pay for this. The dealer did not offer me any help or remedy to the situation, just wanted me to fork up 3k.

I had driven back home from tahoe around 6:00pm and the vehicle was parked for 2 hours when we attempted to open the slide on the 5th wheel. I found the slide on the trailer would not open due to a lack of power on the 5th wheel. At this time the pigtail was still connected to the truck. I disconnected the pigtail from the truck and plugged the trailer into a 50 amp plug and the slide opened normally. I thought it was strange that the battery had discharged after such a short time. Around 10:45pm my girlfriend screamed the trailer was on fire and when I reached the backdoor the entire trailer was engulfed and the rear of the truck was already on fire. Both the vehicles were completely destroyed along with a barn that was approximately10 feet away suffering major damage.

The spare tire structure disintegrated due to rust. The spare tire was hanging and was easily pulled out by hand. The structure that holds the spare tire in place is blocked by the spare tire and does not get washed, creating an area where the dirt and salt accumulate. This easily could have fallen off on the highway.

The chrome on the Chevrolet badge on the front grill has started to peel. While washing the truck the chrome, sliver, slice my finger open like a razor blade.

What's going to prevent this from happening again?.

My Silverado doesn't have child door locks, and even when the doors are locked, if you pull the handle twice it opens the door. My two year old opened the door on the highway and scared us so bad we nearly wrecked. Now his car seat is in the middle but this is a very unsafe design.
