My battery was dead this morning, so I jump started my truck. I let it run stationary for 10 minutes and the battery exploded. It sounded like a bomb went off. It blew the battery into pieces, electronics and the coolant resivoir. It sprayed battery acid, coolant everywhere. My ears were ringing as I was 10 feet from it. It also dented the fender on my truck. I contacted the local Chevy dealership and was blown off, was told I would be called back but was not. They said they had no information on problems with those batteries and said they couldn't get a resivoir for 3 days. We are traveling and stopped here in lebanon tn for the weekend. I have many more pictures, but they are too large to add.

My Silverado was originally sold and registered in Canada. It was exported to the us and I purchased it in July 2019. Recently my rear window defogger has failed to function and I found that Canada had recall for this reason and I'm very concerned about possible fire or exploding glass on my truck. Good morning Mr. Hunt, thank you for contacting Transport Canada's recalls division. In reviewing the recall and discussing the matter with General Motors Canada, they have clarified that recall N192220470 does involve 2015-2019 model year Silverado hd models. In reviewing the provided vehicle indentification number, it appears as though this vehicle no longer resides in Canada. Registration history shows that it was previously exported out of the country prior to this recall being issued. This is the reasoning why your VIN number is not included within this recall. GM's N192220470 recall (Transport Canada recall #2019-325) was issued in June 2019, and only applies to vehicles that are registered and operated in Canada. Due to environmental climate and failure rates, this recall is exclusive to Canada, and was not issued in the United States. However, to address vehicles that are operated and registered in similar climates, 'cold states' in the United States, General Motors usa issued a voluntary region specific customer satisfaction program (N192265660). To find out if your vehicle is applicable to this customer satisfaction program, you would have to call General Motors usa with your VIN number. Furthermore, if you are experiencing a similar failure, and feel your safety is at risk, we would recommend contacting and logging a complaint with our United States counterparts, sincerely, recalls division / multi-modal and road safety programs Transport Canada / government of Canada

The vehicle had a handicapped driver conversion, with a gull-wing driver's door. The driver's door was only held closed with a magnet at the front of the door opening. There was not a latch to actually hold the door closed. In the accident, the truck was traveling at a high rate of speed on a gravel road. The roadway sharply descended to a low-water bridge, which caused the truck to elevate and leave the roadway. When the truck returned to the road, the magnet holding the driver's door failed, the driver's door popped open, and the driver was ejected 80 feet. The driver is now quadriplegic, suffering a C6-7 spinal cord injury, and a traumatic brain injury. The photo files illustrate that the driver's door was ripped off because it was opened, and the passenger doors were locked completely shut. Consumer stated they did not contact the conversion company, conversion is a faulty design. When traveling down the road, and encountered a bump, the driver's door would "bounce", and most of the time the road was visible through the bottom of the door. Vehicle was a total loss.

I purchased a 2015 Chevy 2500 Silverado ltz black new. The paint is starting to check and bubble on the truck. The hood is the worst so far but U can see it's starting on every panel on truck. The truck has barely 50,000 miles, has always been garaged, and babied. I took it to the Chevy dealership and say they won't do anything because it over 3 year 36000 mile corrosion warranty. I've been a Chevy truck driver for 25 years I will soon be driving another brand and will be showing and telling people how they back the product. Very disappointed!

October 31, 2014 on my home from work I heard a bang. The truck pulled very hard to the left taking me into the concrete barrier that divides the highway. Vehicle was in motion us highway 41/45 65 mph. After the truck was investigated at the dealer to give an estimate on the damage it was discovered the left rear axel was broken. Questioning the dealer about this issue and not getting anywhere I talked to different mechanics that I know after a week or so it was discovered there was a recal for insuffcient heat treated rear axles talking to the dealer and I was told this did not pertain to my vehicle as the recall was taken care of at the factory. I cantacted Chevrolet and was told that because I had given the ok for the dealer to make the repairs. My insurance company would need to fole paper work against Chevrolet which myself I believe is wrong. I was also told by the dealer broken axle was typical of this kind of impact. There is no damage on the side panel or rear of the truck I do have pictures on my phone which I have not downloaded to my computer.

My dog was lacerated via the rear bottom corner of the driver's side door when he ran by it. Not quite sure why the design would come to such a point. A trip to the emergency vet, staples, antibiotics, and $$$ later he is now at home recovering.

Silverado 2500 8-cyl Diesel

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.
