2015 Chevrolet Silverado Lighting Problems

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT FELT VERY HARD. THE CONTACT HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL SEVERAL TIMES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS ON A DAILY BASIS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES WERE FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE HEADLIGHTS TO BE VERY DIM. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO JUD KUHN CHEVROLET (3740 HWY 9 E, LITTLE RIVER, SC 29566) AND THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY HALF OF THE REPAIR COST. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,216.

I NOTICED A WATER LEAK IN THE HEAD LINER BY THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT. I HAD IT INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPORTS OF WATER LEAKS COMING THROUGH THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ABOVE THE BACK WINDOW. WE TRIED FIXING IT USING A NEW GASKET, SILICONE, AND EVEN A NEW LIGHT WITH NEW SEALS AND NOTHING HAS FIXED THE ISSUE.

CONTINUOUS HEADLIGHT BUROUT. NEW LIGHTS LAST APPROX 2 MONTHS. LED, HALOGEN OR INCANDESCENT.

REAR TAIL LIGHT WIRING HARNESS FOR BOTH RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE LET MOISTURE IN CAUSING CORROSION IN THE ELECTRICAL PLUGS. THE TURN SIGNALS HAVE BEEN IMPACTED AND HAVE HAD TO BOTH BE REPLACED WITHIN 8 MONTHS OF EACH OTHER.

FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES CRACKING ONLY ON THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS NOT ON THE HIGH BEAM A KNOWN ISSUE THAT GM IS IGNORING AND ITS DEALERSHIPS OTHER OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT HAS GREATLY IMPACTED ME DRIVING MY TRUCK AT NIGHT LIKE I SAID GM KNOWS ABOUT THE DEFECT IN THEIR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES AS I WAS TOLD FROM THE GM MECHANIC AND SERVICE WRITER AND GM OWNERS ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT ALL OVER THE INTER NET STARTS A LITTLE BIT OVER TIME UNTIL ITS VERY NOTICABLE STARTS SPIDER WED CRACKS

THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT ON MY 2015 1500 SILVERADO LEAKED INTO MY HEADLINER. NOW THERE IS A BROWN LINE ALL THE WAY ACROSS MY HEADLINER ABOVE THE REAR WINDOW. EVEN THE SERVICE GUY AT CHEVY SAID IT WOULDN'T LEANK ANYMORE. HE HAS HAD QUITE A FEW TRUCKS COME THROUGH WITH THIS ISSUE. THE FIX WAS $153.00. HOW WILL I KNOW IF MOLD FORMS DUE TO THIS? MY TRUCK WAS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY DURING THE RAIN.

2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HIGH COUNTRY LOW BEAM HEADLAMP PERFORMANCE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE A PROJECTOR STYLE HEADLAMP CONFIGURATION WHICH EMITS A VERY FOCUSED BEAM OF LIGHT THAT IS SO NARROW FROM SIDE TO SIDE THAT WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN YOU HAVE EXTREMELY LIMITED PERIPHERAL VISION. THE BEAM OF LIGHT IS FAR ENOUGH AHEAD OF THE TRUCK AND HAS SUCH A SHARP CUTOFF LINE, YOU CANNOT SEE IF THERE IS ANYBODY STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK WAITING TO CROSS. IT'S ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHERE YOU CAN TURN FROM STREET TO STREET BECAUSE THERE AGAIN IS SUCH A LIMITED FIELD OF LIGHT PROJECTED. OVERALL THE HEADLAMPS ARE VERY DIM. HIGH BEAM PERFORMANCE IS ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE BOTH THE LOW AND HIGH BEAMS LAMPS ARE ON AT THE SAME TIME. THE HIGH BEAM LAMP IS A COMPLEX REFLECTOR CONFIGURATION THAT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR DECADES AND WORKS WELL. IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT HIGH BEAMS ARE USED VERY LITTLE BECAUSE OF THE OTHER CARS AND TRUCKS ON THE ROAD. IT'S A SHAME THAT A PICKUP WITH A LIST PRICE OF OVER $50,000 HAS SUCH POOR HEADLAMPS.

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTING ON THE CHEVROLET 1500 HIGH COUNTRY PROJECTOR STYLE HEADLAMPS IS VERY POOR. LOW LIGHT OUTPUT AND WHAT LIGHT THERE IS IN VERY NARROWLY FOCUSED IN FRONT OF THE TRUCK. LITTLE OR NO LIGHTING TO THE SIDES WHICH MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN MAKING A TURN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE TOO DIM TO DRIVE DURING NIGHT TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

MY HEAD LIGHTS, BOTH HI AND LOW ARE TO DEEM TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT,WHEATHER I AM ON THE INTERSTATE OR IN THE COUNTRY SIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH TO SEE FORWARD AND ON THE SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS UNABLE TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,100. ..UPDATED 08/24/16 *BF

I HAVE A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD LTZ MODEL. THIS VEHICLE HAS PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS FOR THE LOW BEAM THAT AVE VERY INADEQUATE WHEN TRYING TO SEE IN DARK NIGHTS. THE LIGHT OUTPUT IS VERY DIM AND THE CUTOFF PATTERN IS LOW CAUSING POOR VISIBILITY TO ALMOST ZERO VISIBILITY ON WET ROADS OR DURING RAIN. USING THE FOG LIGHTS DOES HELP, BUT ALSO CAUSES ONCOMING DRIVERS TO FLASH YOU DUE TO EXTRA LIGHTS TURNED ON. I AM REALLY SHOCKED AS I HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE WITH HID PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS AND THEY ARE FRIENDLY TO ONCOMING DRIVERS AS THEY ARE BRIGHT BUT THE LIGHTING PATTERN IS LOW. THE CHEVROLET IS NOT AN HID LIGHT AND IT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR THE PROJECTOR PATTERN. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. SECOND ISSUE - TURN SIGNALS AS VIEWED FROM THE VEHICLE COMING STRAIGHT ON. I HAVE NOTICED LOOKING AT OTHER CHEVROLET SILVERADO'S THAT WHEN VIEWING THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT, YOU CAN NOT SEE IF THE TURN SIGNALS ARE ON. DUE TO CHROME ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HEADLIGHT - DRL - YOU CAN NOT SEE THE BLINKING TURN SIGNAL FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. SO, SOMEONE COULD EASILY TURN IN FRONT OF OR NOT SEE THE TRUCK IS TURNING DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SEE THE TURN SIGNAL FROM THE FRONT.

MY CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAS TERRIBLE HEADLIGHTS. THEY ARE NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH AND DO NOT LIGHT THE ROAD PROPERLY. IF THE LOW BEAMS ARE ADJUSTED HIGHER THE HIGH BEAMS NO LONGER ILLUMINATE THE ROAD. THE HIGH AND LOW BEAMS ARE IN A ONE PIECE ASSEMBLY AND CANNOT BE ADJUSTED INDEPENDENTLY. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH A HIGH DEER POPULATION AND REQUIRE GOOD HEADLIGHTS. IN MY OPINION THE HIGHS AND LOWS SHOULD BE INDEPENDENT AND HAVE MUCH BRIGHTER BULBS.

POOR HEADLIGHTS, WON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK AT NIGHT BECAUSE OF THE POOR ILLUMINATION

PURCHASED THE 2015 SILVERADO 1500 NEW ON 08/04/2015. ONCE I WAS ABLE TO USE THE HEADLIGHTS I NOTICED THE LACK OF LIGHT OUTPUT ON THEM. I TRADED IN A 2011 KIA SEDONA AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE FAR SUPERIOR TO THEM. MY 2006 HYUNDAI HAS BETTER LIGHTS. IM NOT SURE WHAT CAN BE DONE, DEALER IS AWARE OF IT AND HOPEFULLY WILL FIX SOON.

WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT ON ANY ROADS THE VISIBILITY WITH THE LOW BEAMS IS TERRIBLE! THE HIGH BEAMS ARE WHAT THE LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE ANYTHING IN THE DISTANCE OR ON THE SHOULDER. I HAVE BOUGHT CHEVY VEHICLES FOR 44 YEARS AND AM HEADING OUT TO TRADE MY 2015 SILVERADO IN FOR A DODGE. IT' S THE SAFEST THING I CAN DO SINCE CHEVY SAYS THERE IS NOTHING THAT BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

HEADLIGHT,HIGH BEAM LENS ASSEMBLY FOGS UP PREVENTING OPTIMUM VISIBILITY,GM SAYS ITS NORMAL AND HAS A BULLETIN OUT ON IT. *TR
