I have a 2022 Chevy 2500HD diesel with 28,500 miles on it that recently went in for inspection. It FAILED the inspection due to the rear brake pads and rotors. These components are so bad that the rotors failed at less than 30k miles on them. Anything that has to do with a brake system puts everyone on the road at risk. The problem was repaired by the dealership at an astronomical price and other issues. No warning lamps or anything, in fact the brake pad wear sensor still read almost…

On 9/20/2026 all of the roof-rail (side-curtain) airbag inflators spontaneously ruptured and deployed with explosive force while the vehicle was stationary. The event was triggered solely by shutting the vehicle's driver’s side door hard. There was absolutely no collision, impact, or external force applied to the vehicle that would justify a normal airbag deployment. The inflator body split tearing through the interior headliner. This identical failure mechanism matches existing GM safety…

My brake rotors are damaged to the point where they have to be replaced at 36,000 miles this doesn’t sound right to me because I had the same truck in a 2018 and I had over 60,000 miles on it and the brakes were still like new. I was just trying to find out if they’re having a problem with their brake rotors. I never told anything with it and I know other people that tow with the same truck and they have twice as many miles and their brakes are still good.

Filed Oct 9, 2026


The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated that the front impact sensor failed and the air bag warning light was illuminated. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was unable to provide a replacement part because the part was no longer manufactured. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The dealer confirmed the failure. The failure mileage was 101,000.

Instrument cluster black out, flickering brightly, and beeping distracting driver. Can not see safety warnings, speed, gear shifting, seat belt status , and more. This creates confusion, distraction, and flashes brightly while driving at night. It is blinding and a safety issue.
