- multiple system failure. Truck presented with oil or atf leaking from the transmission bell housing and transmission inspection port cover. First detected by me at 30k mile oil change. Prior to this, my wife and I both complained that the truck was very slow to get into gear from a stop, especially while towing. Engine would rev and then finally dump power, spinning the rear tires. Additionally encountered hunting for gears on the highway. - second failure. 24 Aug. Truck illuminated with check engine light, traction control light, forward collision light, service ecs, service trailer brake control, and abs light. - inconsistent power application and loss of safety features makes the truck unpredictable and unsafe to drive. - truck is at the second dealer (first diagnosed issues as an oil drain plug). Has been at dealers for 32 days now. Problem is confirmed. - the suspected transmission issues have been noticed intermittently and getting progressively worse for about 6 months. Warning lights all appeared on the morning of 24 Aug. Truck was taken directly to the shop that morning.

Another driver illegally turned left in front of this vehicle. The vehicles collided on each of their right front corners. The airbags failed to deploy and the shoulder belt did not restrain the driver and keep him striking his head on the steering wheel, and breaking a bone in his hand. This was a serious head-on collision that totaled both vehicles. The truck is currently at the salvage yard and is available for inspection. The driver's safety was put at risk because the two primary safety restraint systems failed. The problem has not been reproduced. Chevrolet is sending someone to download the crash data which will then be provided to their engineering department for review and analysis. No warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem were observed by the owner or driver before the accident.

Front park assist (fpa) system did not provide any level of advanced alert until after impact when all conditions were fully met as stated in the user's manual for the park assist system. Note: text after bullets are extracts from user's manual while test in () are owner's feedback during incident when fpa failed to alert. •as the vehicle moves at speeds of less than 8 km/h (5 mph) ( the vehicle was going 1-2 mph) •the sensors on the bumpers may detect objects up to 1. 2 m (4 ft) in front (front park assist (fpa) detection was not until pipe contact was made with bumper/sensor) •within a zone 25 cm (10 in) high off the ground and below bumper level. (pipe was in full zone from 0 to >30" high) •blocked sensors will not detect objects and can also cause false detections. Keep the sensors clean of mud, dirt, snow, ice, and slush; and clean sensors after a car wash in freezing temperatures. (the sensor was not blocked in anyway. The truck has never been in mud, dirt, snow, ice, or slush. ) •when an object is first detected in the rear, one beep will be heard from the rear, or both sides of the safety alert seat will pulse two times. (initial fpa alert level was never reported) •(there was not an intermediate level description in the user's manual as implemented by gm. Intermediate fpa "yellow" alert was never reported) •or <0. 3 m (1 ft) in the vehicle front — a continuous beep will sound (continuous beep from fpa was reported only after contact was made with the pipe) •the park assist system does not detect children, pedestrians, bicyclists, animals, or objects located below the bumper or that are too close or too far from the vehicle. (the pipe as an object was above bumper height and passed from outside the range slowly (1-2mph) until contact was made without any alert from the fpa) this is a single occurrence issue and was reported to gm.
