WHEN SHIFTING THE VEHICLE OUT OF PARK, IF THE TILT STEERING WHEEL IS IN THE FULL UP POSITION, AND THE SHIFT LEVER IS PULLED FULLY REARWARD SO AS TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK, THEN THE SHIFT LEVER WILL HIT AND BE STOPPED FROM MOVING BY THE IGNITION KEY. IF YOU FORCE THE SITUATION BY PULLING BACK AND DOWN WITH MORE THAN NORMAL FORCE, THE KEY AND KEY SWITCH TAKES QUITE AN ABNORMAL LOAD FROM THE SHIFT LEVER. I REPORTED THIS TO THE LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS NORMAL, BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE HAD REPORTED THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. THERE IS AN EASY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM. THE HANDLE PART OF THE IGNITION KEY NEEDS TO BE SHORTER. IF THIS SITUATION IS NOT FIXED, I FEAR THAT THE IGNITION KEY SWITCH ASSEMBLY WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE DAMAGE. *TR

AFFECTS ALL CURRENT CHEVROLET VEHICLES CURRENTLY SOLD INTO THE USA. CHEVROLET HAS BEGUN USING THE BACKUP LAMPS (REVERSE LIGHTS) TO ILLUMINATE THE AREA AROUND THE VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS OFF AND NOT IN REVERSE GEAR; TYPICALLY WHEN THE DRIVER IS ACCESSING & EGRESSING THE VEHICLE, OR HAS ACTUATED THE DOOR LOCK REMOTE. THE RESULT IS A VEHICLE APPEARS TO BE REVERSING, OR ABOUT TO REVERSE, EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT CAPABLE OF MOVEMENT. APPROACHING VEHICLES ASSUME THE CHEVROLET IS ABOUT TO MOVE, YET ARE UNABLE TO VERIFY THE DRIVER CAN SEE THEM AND SO CAN'T PROCEED WITHOUT ESCALATING IMPACT RISK; THOSE WHO DO PASS WILL FOCUS ATTENTION ON THE POTENTIAL MOVEMENT OF THE CHEVROLET RATHER THAN SCANNING FOR GENERAL PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC. IN ADDITION, USE OF BACKUP LIGHTS IN THIS MANNER CAN TEACH CHILDREN TO DISREGARD BACKUP LIGHTS AS A POTENTIAL MOVEMENT INDICATOR, AND INCREASES THEIR CHANCES OF RUNOVER BY WALKING BEHIND A VEHICLE THAT IS TRULY IN REVERSE AND ABOUT TO MOVE. ACCORDING TO FMVSS 108 THE USE OF BACKUP LAMPS SHALL COMPLY WITH APPLICABLE SAE STANDARDS SUCH AS: SAE J387 APR2014 3.4.1 BACKUP FUNCTION A LIGHTING DEVICE USED TO PROVIDE ILLUMINATION BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND TO PROVIDE A WARNING SIGNAL TO PEDESTRIANS AND OTHER DRIVERS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BACKING UP (REVERSING) OR IS ABOUT TO BACK UP. 3.4.2 BACKUP LAMP(S) (REVERSING) LAMP OR LAMPS PROVIDING THE BACKUP FUNCTION; MORE COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS A ?REVERSING LAMP?

MY NAME IS [XXX] AND I AM THE OWNER OF THE 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LT THAT I LEASED ON JANUARY 31, 2015 FROM HUNTINGTON CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 370 OAKWOOD RD, HUNTINGTON STATION, NY 11746 (877) 415-8697. I NOTICED IN MARCH WHEN THE WEATHER STARTED GETTING WARMER THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE INTO NEW ROCHELLE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 291 MAIN ST, NEW ROCHELLE, NY 10801 (914) 730-9960 TO HAVE THE A/C SERVICED, AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THERE WAS NO FREON. AFTER HAVING THE FREON PUT INTO THE A/C SYSTEM I NOTICED VERY STRONG FUMES COMING INTO THE CABIN. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK INTO NEW ROCHELLE CHEVROLET TWICE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM SOLVED. I HAVE THE APPROPRIATE PAPERWORK TO VALIDATE THE SERVICE. THE 2 SERVICES AT NEW ROCHELLE DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THE SMELL IS UNBEARABLE AND POSSIBLY TOXIC, AND STILL COMING INTO THE CABIN AS OF TODAY. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

OWN A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB Z71, AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT DOES NOT TURN OVER, INDICATING THAT THERE IS A THEFT DETERRENT ISSUE. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE OR ERROR CODE. THE SECOND TIME SEVERAL ERROR CODES WERE PRESENT, WHICH THE DEALER RESET. THIS APPEARED TO FIX THE ISSUE, UNTIL 1 MONTH LATER THE ISSUE PRESENTED ITSELF AGAIN. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY WITH THE DEALER ON IT'S THIRD REPAIR ATTEMPT. THIS CAN BE VERY UNSAFE FOR A VEHICLE SINCE IN AN EMERGENCY NEED THE VEHICLE COULD BE INCAPABLE OF BEING DRIVEN.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER SMALLER VEHICLE PUSHING ME INTO A MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME. ON INITIAL IMPACT, THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS DISLODGED FROM THE MOUNTING FRAME. WHEN I HIT THE MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SHOULDER SEAT RESTRAINT DID NOT ENGAGE CAUSING MY EYE TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BELT NOT ENGAGING AND THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED ENOUGH DAMAGE, INCLUDING FRAME DAMAGE, THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. IT WAS 6 WEEKS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE ACCIDENT WHO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. I BELIEVE THE SEAT MOUNTING FAILED, THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO PROPERLY DEPLOY AND THE SHOULDER RESTRAINT SIGNIFICANTLY FAILED. I HAVE PICTURES INDICATING THE SEATBELT FULLY EXTENDED, BUT DID NOT ENGAGE, AND WILL NO LONGER RETRACT. STATE FARM IS HOLDING THE VEHICLE PENDING A POSSIBLE INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA.
