Headlights Problems of Chevrolet Silverado 1500 - part 1

While driving at approximately 65 mph all electronics shut off and turned back on moments later. This includes the gauges, radio and all lights including headlights. I took it to the dealership in which I purchased the truck from. They diagnosed it as a low voltage battery and their solution was to charge the battery and retest the systems. However they could not tell me why it was low. The service manager would not look into further testing to check the issue as they had met all the necessary steps layed out by gm under the bumper to bumper warranty. He had told me that they would be happy to do further testing on why the battery had a low voltage condition if I were to pay out of pocket for the costs even though my truck is still under bumper bumper warrenty. The service manager also blammed the cold weather conditions as it is currently in the low 20's outside. I have issue with this diagnosis due to me driving 60 miles a day for work and another 30 miles to drop it off at the dealership, the battery should have been amply charged in that time for their testing. Also the dealership replaced the battery with a new one 8 months prior when I first purchased the truck. I am concerned for my safety as the headlights turned off without warning due to a low battery and there has been no proper diagnosis of why there is a low battery condition.

Headlight housing dogs constantly and remains fogged for a length of time while driving. Headlight function diminished due to the fogging. Chevy states the headlights are vented and designed to behave this way but clearly this is a safety issue and the seal of the housing is faulty.

I bought this 2014 silverado new. The headlights are fogging up on the inside which makes it unsafe to drive at night. Also , the steering wheel is coming apart around the air bag , which may get in the way of me safely steering it or might cause the air bags to deploy. This vehicle is stored in a climate controlled enviroment every day. It does not sit outside, so the sun had nothing to do with this. I contacted gm and they said they would'nt help me. Please help as this is a safety issue not being able to see at night. Thanks. This vehicle only has 26000 miles on it. I own several gm vehicles , but this is the only one I have had trouble with.

Tl the contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving approximately 30 mph and approaching a red light, the brake pedal was depressed, but felt very hard. The contact had to pump the brake pedal several times to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the brake failure occurred for the past two months on a daily basis. The contact also stated that the headlight assemblies were fractured and caused the headlights to be very dim. The contact drove the vehicle to jud kuhn Chevrolet (3740 hwy 9 e, little river, SC 29566) and they offered to repair the headlight assemblies; however, the contact would have to pay half of the repair cost. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 65,216.

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet silverado. The contact stated that the headlights have constantly gone out. When the contact had replaced the bulbs they were still working outside the headlights in the vehicle. The contact said the issue had been with the low beams.

Cruise control will shut off when using turning signal or rolling up windows. It is very dangerous in busy interstate traffic. Service stabli track and steering assist reduced will come up on display. Power steering is intermittent when turning. Headlights flicker when turning signals are used. Truck will completely shut down for a split second while driving then everything comes back on, complete loss of control when this happens. When knob for headlights is turned from auto to on position the dash and instrument panel gets dim and stabli track and reduced steering assist message comes on. Rear passenger door will not lock using fob, sometimes I will have to hit the unlock button multiple times before door will unlock after lock has been manually pushed down. Passenger seat belt ding is also intermittent, sometimes it will not work at all. My truck just now started having all of these issues at the exact same time. We drove from texas to kentucky and back to texas and these issues all started during this trip. It is not safe for my family, I have always bought Chevrolet and currently own this truck and a tahoe but they may be my last. All bulbs are good, all fuses and relays are good. Truck now has 66000 miles on it. Battery was replaced around 59000 miles. Seems to be a wiring or ecm (computer) issue to me. I see many complaints similar to mine but yet no recalls have been issued for my VIN number.

Stabilitrak light kicks on and off, steering wheel locks up and shudders when turning at low speeds, headlights and dashlights blink like the trucks about to lose power. Searching online it looks like there is a device bulletin that fixes these issues, but I shouldnt have to pay for a safety and common issue with this truck. Pit5405a is the bulletin number.

Headlights flicker, radio head unit flickers, error messages (service stablitrak, traction control off, reduced steering assist) doors occasionally will lock and unlock and then truck will shut off all together. Steering wheel randomly jerk out of your hands. Somebody will end up dead if this issue is not fixed, and recalled. Very common through my research in 2014 silverados/sierra's.

The headlights on my new silverado bounce / flicker like an old semi truck when going over bumps and imperfections in the road. The dealer said that there is no TSB for fixing this issue from gm so they can't do anything. They did say they were aware of the issue and that they get many complaints about it. They said it is due to the hid bulb gm is using. It is very distracting and dangerous.

Continuous headlight burout. New lights last approx 2 months. Led, halogen or incandescent.

Passenger side headlight keeps going out after only a few months of having a new bulb put in by myself or even when the dealerships has replaced the bulb.

This new style of headlights do not provide the necessary light required to see if any wildlife along the shoulder of the highway that will enter your driving area while driving at night. Would suggest they replace these headlights with a better quality of lighting at night. Low beam and high beam lights are not bright enough to see well for hazards. This will provide for more accidents on the highways if left the way they are.

Front headlight assemblies cracking only on the daytime running lights not on the high beam a known issue that gm is ignoring and its dealerships other owners are complaining about has greatly impacted me driving my truck at night like I said gm knows about the defect in their headlight assemblies as I was told from the gm mechanic and service writer and gm owners are complaining about it all over the inter net starts a little bit over time until its very noticable starts spider wed cracks.

Two times tonight with two different vehicles in two different locations. Current generation chevy silverado "low" beam headlights are extreme danger to oncoming traffic. When being approached by current (2014 & newer) silverados the oncoming drivers "dimmed" their lights resulting in no change to the blinding light approaching me. The only way I could tell that the drivers "dimmed" their lights was the change from 4 oncoming lights to 2 oncoming lights, the blinding intensity remained the same. This marks the umpteen-thousandth time I have been completely blinded by current generation silverado "low" beam headlights. I might as well drive with my eyes closed because I am totally blind after meeting an oncoming current generation silverado.

My headlights keep going out,every month I have to replace a headlight. I have talked with many people that have the same year model and people with one year older and one year newer and they all say the samething happens to them. So what is the problem. I have had my mechanic and other mechanics look at it and none of them can figure it out. Please help with this problem. It does not matter if im sitting still or in motion ,ive had them go out at different times.

The truck has inadequate peripheral illumination while driving on dark winding roads. . When making turns you cannot see the the road in front of the truck. When going straight its difficult to see the shoulder depth of the road. . This is a serious safety issue that needs to be addressed with this model. The 2019 models have much better headlight designs that address this problem. . The 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 lt that I have does not. The dealer service writer and I walked around their lot and compared the new models headlights to mine. He called me back the next day and said they did not have any new lighting replacements or repairs for this model. My truck is still under warranty. It's down right scary to drive on dark winding roads at night.

I've had multiple extremely dangerous situation with this vehicle over 2 years. One of the first concern was my headlight daytime bulbs melted to the harness and the one on the passenger side melted thru the number so I started carrying a fire extinguisher behind the driver seat. But one of the most dangerous indecent happened while driving down the highway when my wheel bearing hub gave out n there is nothing else to support the tire onto the truck so my front driver tire went flying off n my truck coming to a complete stop into the ground causing damage to my self, my finder, the wheel sensor, n the driver door. After getting all that fixed I'm afraid of the other hubs giving out. Also when I hit my brakes it seems like there is air in the pedal n the truck will not stop. I don't know if it's bc the sensor got damaged or if the abs box is damage from corrosion and my emergency brake has never seem to do anything. I have replaced many of parts on this truck n when I do it seems like one thing after another.

It began with the headlights/parking lights flickering for a few weeks. Later the truck began to give error messages about stability control, trailer brake control, and others. Finally it violently jerked the steering wheel out of my hands on numerous occasions (truck has electric power steering). This happened at approximately 45 mph in various turns but I am concerned it could happen at highway speeds which would cause a serious crash and/or death. I am afraid to drive this vehicle especially with my family members on board.

I have had this issues happen numerous times. The first I was backing up into a parking spot and my service stabilitrak warning came on, and my steering wheel started jerking left and right on its own. 2nd time I was pulling into my parents drive way and warning came on while turning causing truck to jerk and I almost hit the corner of the house. A 3rd time happened again reversing but this time my headlights dimmed and I had multiple service warnings pop up. A 4th time I was again about to reverse. I was able to straighten up and while in reverse and foot on brake, I would turn steering wheel and it would jerk back to center on its own. I took video of that accurance. While driving on the highway yesterday night. I noticed my headlights kept going dim then bright. While in cruise control going 75mph I moved left to pass a vehicle, when I turned right signal on to come back to lane my cruise disengaged. This happend 5 times. Before one of the occurrences while in cruise I tapped the brake to slow down, and my volt gauge dropped to 10 or so and the headlights almlst shut off and all lights in cab flikered on and off. It almost felt like the truck was about to turn off but didn't. Last issue, a few times I have tried to start the truck and the anti theft deterant comes on and I have to try numeros times to get truck to start.

The single bulb for high /low beam hid factory headlights are too dim it's hard to drive at night. I cannot use at night paid too much money.
