I HAVE A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD LTZ MODEL. THIS VEHICLE HAS PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FOR THE LOW BEAM THAT AVE VERY INADEQUATE WHEN TRYING TO SEE IN DARK NIGHTS. THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS VERY DIM AND THE CUTOFF PATTERN IS LOW CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY TO ALMOST ZERO VISIBILITY ON WET ROADS OR DURING RAIN. USING THE FOG LIGHTS DOES HELP, BUT ALSO CAUSES ONCOMING DRIVERS TO FLASH YOU DUE TO EXTRA LIGHTS TURNED ON. I AM REALLY SHOCKED AS I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH HID PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS AND THEY ARE FRIENDLY TO ONCOMING DRIVERS AS THEY ARE BRIGHT BUT THE LIGHTING PATTERN IS LOW. THE CHEVROLET IS NOT AN HID LIGHT AND IT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR THE PROJECTOR PATTERN. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. SECOND ISSUE - TURN SIGNALS AS VIEWED FROM THE VEHICLE COMING STRAIGHT ON. I HAVE NOTICED LOOKING AT OTHER CHEVROLET SILVERADO'S THAT WHEN VIEWING THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT, YOU CAN NOT SEE IF THE TURN SIGNALS ARE ON. DUE TO CHROME ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HEADLIGHT - DRL - YOU CAN NOT SEE THE BLINKING TURN SIGNAL FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. SO, SOMEONE COULD EASILY TURN IN FRONT OF OR NOT SEE THE TRUCK IS TURNING DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SEE THE TURN SIGNAL FROM THE FRONT.

NEW TRUCK, 15372 MILES, NO OFF ROADING OR ROUGH SURFACE DRIVING. PULLS TO THE RIGHT. CONCERNED ABOUT SUSPENSION/STEERING FAILURE. THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE RIGHT. TWO CHEVY DEALERS HAVE LOOKED AT THE ISSUE WITH NEGATIVE RESULTS. THERE IS NO REASON OTHER THAN MANUFACTURING ERROR THAT WOULD CAUSE THE PROBLEM.

AFTER HAVING RAINS FOR ALMOST 3 DAYS STRAIGHT IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, I FINALLY GOT SOME TIME TO CLEAN THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE. UPON MOVING THE FLOOR MAT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, I NOTICE THE CARPET WAS SOAKING WET. THERE IS A LEAK SOMEWHERE NEAR THE FIREWALL ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE CABIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. LONG TERM, I AM AFRAID OF MOLD AND MILDEW ACCUMULATION AS WELL AS WATER AFFECTING ELECTRONICS. FRONT DRIVERS SEAT HAS A LOT OF SLOP IN IT. UPON ACCELERATING AND BRAKING, I CAN FEEL THE FRONT DRIVERS SEAT ROCK FORWARD AND BACKWARD SLIGHTLY. SEAT MAKES A CLUNKING/TAPPING NOISE. RADIO RECEPTION IS TERRIBLE. FM RADIO LOOSES SIGNAL STRENGTH AND SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE IN A CAVE. *TR

2500 HD TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL OEM TOWING/CAMPER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS EQUIPPED WITH RED TURN SIGNALS EMBEDDED IN MIRROR GLASS. RED TURN SIGNAL LED'S IMPAIR VISION AT NIGHT, AND SHINE DIRECTLY INTO DRIVERS EYES, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUTSIDE VEHICLE IN DIRECTION OF TURN. THE TURN SIGNAL LED'S ARE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT ANY SORT OF SHIELDING COATING IN MIRROR GLASS WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LED'S AS IS FOUND IN MOST OTHER INTEGRATED SIDE VIEW MIRROR TURN SIGNALS. *TR
