2010 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

WITH FROST ON THE WINDSHIELD, ENGAGING THE DEFROSTER WILL MELT THE FROST ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE WINDOW, BUT IT ALSO WETS THE INSIDE OF THE CAB, CAUSING ALL OF THE WINDOWS TO HAVE FOG WHICH WILL NOT LET YOU SEE. THIS ALSO OCCURRED IN DECEMBER WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WAXAHACHIE, SNOW WAS FALLING AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS AT 35 DEGREES AND FALLING WITH ICE STARTING TO ACCUMULATE ON THE WINDSHIELD. I ENGAGED THE DEFROSTER TO CLEAR THE ICE, BUT ALL OF THE WINDOWS FOGGED UP SO FAST THAT I BARELY GOT PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE I COULDN'T SEE AT ALL. IT TOOK THE TRUCK AN ADDITIONAL 15 MINUTES OF RUNNING TO CLEAR ENOUGH OF THE FOG OF THE WINDOW FOR A PORTAL TO SEE THRU TO DRIVE AT ALL.

SILVERADO POWER STEERING FAILURE. *LN

THE AIR CONDITIONER WILL NOT COME ON TO CLEAR WINDOW OF FOG BELOW 40 DEGREES . THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED ME TO ALMOST GO OFF ROAD AS NO VISIBILITY PRESENT. THE WINDOWS WILL FOG UP SO QUICKLY AND THE DEFROSTER CAN NOT CLEAR WINDSHIELD FAST ENOUGH .THE AIR CONDITIONER IS AUTOMATICALLY CONTROLLED INSTEAD OF MANUALLY. *LN

WHEN THE TEMP DROPS BELOW FREEZING AND IT IS SNOWING/RAINING OUT SIDE YOU CAN NOT KEEP THE WINDOWS DEFROSTED. THEY ARE SO FOGGED UP ON THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK YOU NEED TO EITHER DRIVE WITH A WINDOW DOWN ON KEEP A TOWEL IN THE TRUCK TO WIPE THE WINDOWS CLEAN TO SEE. HAD TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THE PARTS THEY INSTALLED NEVER DID ANY GOOD. PLEASE HELP THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN COLDER CLIMATES GET SOME HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2008 TRUCK I GOT RID OF TO PURCHASE THIS ONE. THE DEALER CLAIMS TO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER WAS DEFECTIVE. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED WHO ONLY PROVIDED A TEMPORARY FIX TO THE PROBLEM BY REPROGRAMMING THE COMPUTER TO DIRECT MORE AIR TO THE SIDE WINDOWS AND APPLIED DUCK TAPE ON THE GRILL NEXT TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE MODIFICATIONS DID NOT WORK. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED WHO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 7,300. UPDATED 03/15/11*LJ UPDATED 1/4/11 *CN

TOTAL FOG UP OF WINDSHIELD AND ALL WINDOWS. THIS ONLY OCCURS BELOW FREEZING AS NOTED BY THE INFORMATION CENTER WARNING OF THE POSSIBILITY OF FREEZING ROADS. THE YELLOW A/C ON LIGHT IN THE FAN SPEED CONTROL KNOB IS NOT ON, AND WHEN THE A/C BUTTON IS PUSHED THE YELLOW A/C ON LIGHT FLASHES THREE TIMES AND GOES OUT. THERE IS NO CONFIGURATION THAT WILL ACTIVATE THE A/C AND THUS MITIGATE THE FOG! IN SPEAKING WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALER I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS AS THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THE A/C ON MANUALY AND THAT BELOW FREEZING THE A/C IS AUTOMATICLY SELECTED OFF BY THE SENSORS! IT TURNS OUT THAT THE A/C BUTTON ONLY SERVES TO SHUT OFF THE A/C IF DESIRED. THE ONLY OPERATIONAL WAY TO WORK AROUND THIS IS TO TURN THE DEFOG FULL HOT OPEN THE WINDOWS AND PULL OVER UNTIL A VIEWING HOLE CAN BE CLEARED. THIS CLEARLY IS A SYSTEMIC SAFETY PROBLEM WITH THESE MODELS!

ENGINE,POWERTRAIN AND ELECTRICAL SHUT DOWN, FUEL SHOWS EMPTY WHEN FULL, HAS HAPPENED NINE TIMES WHILE AT SPEED. HAVE TO COAST TO STOP WHERE EVER ROOM CAN BE FOUND, TURN KEY TO OFF AND WAIT THEN RESTART. *TR

2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WAS TRAVELING EAST, THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED A RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLOWOUT. AS THE TIRE BLEW OUT, HE UNEXPECTEDLY VEERED RIGHT AND STRUCK THE SIDE OF A SEMI. BF. (OHIO TRAFFIC CRASH REPORT #10-0650-90)*JB

RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN 2010 I NOTICE RIGHT OFF MY BRAKES WEREN'T WORKING RIGHT .SO I GOT IN TOUCH WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME TO BRING IT IN I TOOK THE TRUCK IN AND THEY HAD ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEE TO TAKE IT FOR A DRIVE AROUND TOWN HE CAME BACK AND SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG BUT I STILL HAD THE PROBLEM SO ICALLED THEM BACK AGAIN AND THEN THEY TOLD ME TO GET IN TOUCH WITH GENERAL MOTORS SO ICALLED THEM AND TALK TO 2 DIFFERENT PEOPLE THERE AND THEN GENERAL MOTORS CALLED RAMEY CHEVROLET IN RICHLAND VA AND THEY TOLD GENERAL MOTOR THAT WHERE WELIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT IT WOULD CAUSE THE BRAKES TO DO THAT BUT THE ONLY MOUNTAIN I HAVE TO CROSS IS THE ONE GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT IT NOT A HIGH ELEVATION TO CLIMB TO WHERE I WOULD HAVE TO USE MY BRAKES ALOT AND THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD OUT OF MY TRUCK THEY HAD TO PUT SOME SENSORS ON THE MOTOR BECAUSE THE TRUCK JUST UP AND QUIT ON ME COMING HOME ONE EVENING AND I HAVE HAD TO HAVE SOME NEW RUBBER SEALS PUT AROUND THE DOORS DUE TO WATER COMING IN AND CAUSING MY FLOOR BOARD TO RUST OUT AND I HAVE ALL MY PAPER WORK ON THE WORK I HAVE DONE ON IT MY TRUCK IS SUPPOSE TO BE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THIS HAS ALL HAPPEN IN THE FIRST YEAR I OWN THE TRUCK SINCERELY. *TR

AT TEMPS STARTING AROUND 35 DEGREES THE DEFROSTER STOPS WORKING AND THE INSIDE WINDOWS FOG UP LEAVING NO VISIBILITY AT ALL. SO FAR THE ONLY WAY TO CLEAR IT IS TO OPEN WINDOWS AND WAIT. NOT GOOD WHEN ITS COLD. MOISTURE BUILDS UP LIKE A STEAMY SHOWER ON A MIRROR. I HAVE READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AND IF THERE ISN'T A RECALL TO FIX THEN THERE SHOULD BE LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST CHEVROLET AND THIS WEB SITE FOR NOT TAKING ACTION. OR ARE WE ALL SUPPOSED TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE START DYING IN ACCIDENTS FIRST? *TR
