This truck had a steering failure causing a collision and it was a minor front collision. The worse part is Chevrolet denies a problem but the internet is full of complaints. During the collision on the front strangely the curtain airbags is all that deployed leaving driver completely unprotected!!! the steering came back on after. Then I get a notice that the airbag control module is recalled because it may not work or deploy bags wrongfully. That's what happened. The truck has 24000 miles on it and the steering failed in the rain making me swing out almost striking a school bus full of small children. I had it towed to a Chevy dealer after having and photographing with a time stamp 6 codes for a module failure. The Chevy dealer calls and lies to me and did there are no codes or voltage to the motor and it may be a wire from the accident I told them about. The accident was minor and only required minor repair and a bumper. I think General Motors needs a investigation into this and owe me curtain air bags and headliner. This company is irresponsible and defiant in defective moisture sensitive due to lack of sealing according to hundreds and hundreds of internet postings. I owe $34,000 on this junk unsafe product and complained and only get jerked around. Abc news has contacted me back for a story as soon as I here back from you.
Intermittent electric power steering loss caused accident. Chevrolet denied it. Same problem almost caused a accident again but no there is no electric steering at all and vehicle steering is unable to manually be steered! it was towed to a simpson Chevrolet, garden grove ca. 92643. 714 527 7000.this dealer is even trying not to warranty it!!! I need help here. This is the same truck that deployed the side airbags only at a steering failure involved accident. Same problem but now its dead all the time.
Waited 12 years to afford a new truck and were stuck with this lemon. 14 active recalls paid over $1K for repair work not covered by warranty had the vehicle one year (2015) had to have the seats repaired. Air bag issues and the dealer said it wasn't covered either. As of today I have spent almost $3K on this truck for something that you wouldn't think a new truck would have to repair. The rear end went out at christmas (2016) really. Come on Chevy you've gotta do better than this. Offer is something for our troubles. Will not buy or recommend a Chevy product.
Was in a accident and only the curtain air bags deployed. Was only and right front low speed bump and the truck barely hit and did night tilt. I paid out of pocket for repairs but the curtain air bags. Now trouble codes show everything as a open circuit. I feel the wrong airbags deployed. This truck only has 23000 miles on it too.
