THE TRUCKS HAVE A VIBRATION THAT IS FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL, FLOOR, SEATS, ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE PEDALS ETC. WHILE DRIVING. THE MAJOR CONSENSUS IT THAT THE WORST SPEED IT 76 MPH, YET IT IS FELT TO A LESSER DEGREE AT ANY SPEEDS, WITH SOME BEING WORSE THAN OTHERS. THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF TRUCKS WITH THIS ISSUE, YET GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT BEGAN WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS OF PURCHASING MY TRUCK. I FOUND PEOPLE FIRST REPORTING THE ISSUE IN 2015, AND MORE RECENTLY IT CONTINUES WITH THE 2015 AND 2016 MODEL YEARS.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND STRUCK FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER SMALLER VEHICLE PUSHING ME INTO A MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME. ON INITIAL IMPACT, THE DRIVERS SEAT WAS DISLODGED FROM THE MOUNTING FRAME. WHEN I HIT THE MINIVAN IN FRONT OF ME, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SHOULDER SEAT RESTRAINT DID NOT ENGAGE CAUSING MY EYE TO STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL. I HAVE NERVE DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BELT NOT ENGAGING AND THE AIRBAGS NOT DEPLOYING. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED ENOUGH DAMAGE, INCLUDING FRAME DAMAGE, THAT IT WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS. IT WAS 6 WEEKS OLD AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE ACCIDENT WHO REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. I BELIEVE THE SEAT MOUNTING FAILED, THE AIRBAGS FAILED TO PROPERLY DEPLOY AND THE SHOULDER RESTRAINT SIGNIFICANTLY FAILED. I HAVE PICTURES INDICATING THE SEATBELT FULLY EXTENDED, BUT DID NOT ENGAGE, AND WILL NO LONGER RETRACT. STATE FARM IS HOLDING THE VEHICLE PENDING A POSSIBLE INVESTIGATION BY NHTSA.
