2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 LT EXT. CAB, DRIVER FRONT SEAT FOAM DEALERSHIP SAID THEY REPLACED, BUT THE SEAT IS ANGLED TO THE LEFT AND THE SEAT BACK (WHAT YOU LEAN BACK ON), IS LEANING BACK ON THE LEFT. SEAT BELT CROSSES OVER LEFT BREAST AROUND YOUR NECK. THE SEAT (WHAT YOU SIT ON) SLANTS DOWN ON THE LEFT. THIS THROWS YOUR WHOLE BODY OFF BALANCE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND YOU ARE AT AN AWKWARD POSITION DRIVING IN MY VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE DONE ALL THEY CAN DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND SHORTLY AFTER I NOTICED THE FRONT SEAT BACK WAS TWISTED TOWARD THE FRONT AND I TOOK IT BACK AND THAT IS WHEN ALL THE TROUBLE BEGAN. IF THERE WERE TO BE A COLLISION AND THE AIR BAG IN THE STEERING COLUMN DEPLOY, IT WOULD IN FACT MAKE YOUR HEAD GO OFF THE HEADREST BECAUSE YOUR HEAD IS AT THE EDGE ON THE LEFT. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE SEAT MEETS GM SPECIFICATIONS, BUT I HAVE HAD THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE SIT IN THE SEAT AND ALL SAY IT IS CROOKED. I HAVE CALLED THE GMC CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND NOW I HAVE TO TAKE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON MONDAY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, SO A REPRESENTATIVE CAN INSPECT THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS TRUCK COULD BE FIXED, BUT THE PROBLEM IS WORSE AND NOW THE SEAT DOES NOT GO BACK AS FAR AS IT DID WHEN NEW AND THE WHOLE DRIVER SIDE AUTOMATIC SEAT LOOKS LIKE IT HAS BEEN SWITCHED OUT AND I KNOW IT HAS THREE DIFFERENT TIMES BECAUSE THE SEAT LOOKS WARN AND THE FOAM IS SQUASH

SAFETY ISSUE WITH 2010 GMC/CHEVROLET 1500 PICKUPS WITH 6 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE ISSUE INVOLVES DRIVING ONE OF THESE VEHICLES WITH THE TOW/HAUL MODE TURNED ON. IF GOING DOWN A HILL AT 55 TO 65 MILES PER HOUR, ACTUALLY ANY SPEED, BY LAYING YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD JUST HARD ENOUGH TO TURN ON BRAKE LIGHTS THESE VEHICLES WILL BEGIN DOWNSHIFTING. THE ONE I OWN WILL GO FROM 5TH GEAR TO 2ND GEAR IN LESS THAN 10 SECONDS. AT THIS POINT THE TACHOMETER WILL PEG TO THE MAX AND THE REAR TIRES WILL BEGIN TO SLIDE. I HAVE HAD THIS AT THE DEALER TWICE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS NORMAL AND THEY RECOMMEND I DON'T USE THE TOW/HAUL MODE. MY VEHICLE HIT A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD ONCE WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING AND ACTUALLY WAS COMPLETELY SIDEWAYS AT 50 MPH. *TR

TIRE TREAD IS FALLING APART. HUNKS AND PIECES ARE MISSING FROM TREAD ALL 4 TIRE. THESE ARE GENERAL AMERITRAC TIRE FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON MY 2010 CHEVY SILVERADO. DEALER WILL COMP THEM BUT OUR FLEET IS FULL OF THESE TIRES DOING THIS. TIRES LOOK ALMOST LIKE RETREADS. SIZE IS P245/70R17. 13,600 MILES ON THEM. I HAVE POINTED THIS OUT ON MANY VEHICLES WHEREVER I SEE THIS TIRE ESPECIALLY ON A SILVERADO. *TR

BRAKES ON MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TRUCK ARE SPONGY AND DO NOT ADEQUATELY STOP THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN SEVERAL NEAR MISS COLLISIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. MY VEHICLE HAS 111,000 MILES AND I HAVE REPLACED THE REAR BRAKE PADS DUE TO ACCELERATED WEAR WITHOUT A SIMILAR SITUATION ON THE FRONT BRAKE PADS. THIS SHOWS ME THAT THE PRIMARY (LARGER) FRONT BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS ARE NOT WORKING CORRECTLY. *TR
