Lights go dim on it all the time and the electric system in it is bad sometimes the air condition works most of the time it don't and the cruise quit working in it
My truck should have no issues as I follow the maintenance schedule and take good care of my vehicle but it has happened twice where I was in the middle of the interstate when my vehicle displayed the check engine light, traction off, stabiltrac off, the airvents stopped blowing cool air and released humidity, brakes were not functioning properly (hard to actually break), steering wheel/power steering was malfunctioning making it almost impossible to turn or get out of traffic and it seems the vehicle just decided to suddenly stall while in motion. I was very lucky due to sudden high risk of a vehicle crash and was able to pull over without getting anyone hurt. I turned the vehicle off once I got in park and looked under the hood, everything was fine showing no issues but I went to start

My air bad light is on and my horn does not work. I called gm customer service. They said there was no recalls on my truck. She then told me I had to take my truck in to see if it has a recall. I ask her which is it, is there a recall or not? She said no recall but I had to go into service to see if there is a recall. There either is it isn't. I feel gm is trying to cover thier butts. Seems to me that they know of a problem but don't want to go public with it. I'm a 100% disabled veteran. I purchased this vehicle brand new 5 years ago, I only have 55k miles on my truck. I can't afford to pay for a problem with my truck especially if gm knows about it but refuses to own up to thier mistake.

This involves an OEM tire on a 2012 Chevrolet pick up truck, silverado 1500. I'm a retired automotive engineer. Tire is made by general tire, size p245/75r/17, DOT p583 bn1. I am original owner and only driver. This tire has never run over anything but roadway surface. I was traveling on the freeway when the sidewall plies broke internally causing the tire to de-bead. I pulled over to inspect. Tire was smoking from the inside. It was fully ready to catch fire. Copious amounts of smoke. I poured my ice tea down the inside part of rim and backed truck up to slosh ice tea around inside of smoking tire. There are no cuts, stone bruises, or other outside influences. This tire broke its sidewall. You can both see and feel it. Tread and crown at same area are fine. Tire has 6/32" tr

seatbelts 1 complaint shown
12/15/2020 - noticed 'service air bag' warning in morning as I pulled into parking for work. When leaving for lunch no warning on - as I pulled out of parking warning appeared again - as I leaned forward to read - loud 'bang' and was pulled back into seat by hard retraction of seatbelt. Followed by smell of burning. Parked car, struggled to get out of seatbelt - looked around for damage - nothing - only seatbelts stuck retracted. Drove home carefully - plugged in OBD 2 reader - four codes; b0015-04, b0022-00, b0052-04, b101d-00. First two indicate seat belt pretensioner deployed, third is deployment command, final is ECU hardware. Took to ASE shop and was informed that the control unit indicated a collision - there was no collision - and belts were deployed. Asked what caused this

The frame has rusted out and is unsafe to drive. Left tire is almost snapped and you can put your hand through the rust in frame. Has been inspected by 2 mechanics. I am the second owner and have babied this truck since the first day I got it in 2014. Additional defect is the tailgate wont state shut, must close 3-4 times for it to remain closed.
