2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Exterior lighting Problems

STOCK LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM AND HAVE A SHARP CUTOFF LINE THAT IT IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DRIVING AT NIGHT . I WANT TO BE ABLE TO SEE THE LINES WHEN IM DRIVING AND CARS COMING THE OTHER WAY, BUT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE IF ROAD IS DARK AND CARS COMING OTHER WAY. PLEASE FIND A STOCK 2015 CHEVY 2500HD WORK TRUCK AND CHECK LOW BEAM. HIGH BEAMS ARE WONDERFUL, BUT CAN'T DRICE WITH THEM ON, ALTHOUGH LOOKING AT EVERY OTHER CAR ON ROAD AND HOW BRIGHT SOME ARE I PROBABLY CAN.

YOU CAN'T SEE UP THE ROAD WITH OUT HIGH BEAMS ON THE LOW BEAM PROJECTOR BEAMS IT DOESN'T SHINE FAR ENOUGH UP THE ROAD AND IF YOU ARE GOING DOWN HILL IT'S ALOT WORSE

I BOUGHT A 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 HD LAST YEAR AND HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES CONCERNING THE VISIBILITY OF THESE HEADLIGHTS. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH FEW STREET LIGHTS AND RELY ON THESE LIGHTS TO SEE. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH LIGHT SHINING TO SEE CLEARLY AND IF IT'S RAINING, THE VISIBILITY IS NIL. I OWNED THE SAME TYPE VEHICLE IN 2005 AND HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHTS, MY SUBARU HAS BRIGHTER LIGHT PATTERN THAN MY TRUCK! I CONTACTED THE CHEVY CUSTOMER REP ON 8/17 AND EXPLAINED MY CONCERN. HE SAID THAT THE LIGHTS ARE DESIGNED TO WORK THAT WAY AND THEY AREN'T MAKING CHANGES UNLESS THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS. HE SAID HE WAS SORRY BUT THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE WHO TRAVEL ON POORLY LIT ROADS AND IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN.

THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. I'M UNABLE TO SEE MORE THAN 20' IN FRONT OF THE THE TRUCK. CHEVY SAID THE HEADLIGHTS WERE UPDATED BUT THAT DIDN'T HELP. I'VE HIT SEVERAL OBSTACLES IN THE ROAD BECAUSE I SIMPLY COULDNT SEE IT. I'VE HAD PREVIOUS GENERATIONS OF THIS MODEL AND THIS IS BY FAR THE WORST HEADLIGHT SETUP. I'VE READ THOUSANDS OF ONLINE POSTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON VARIOUS FORUMS, SO APPEARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHILE MOVING. THE DARKER THE ROADWAY THE WORSE THE PROBLEM BECOMES. THANKS

THE HEAD LIGHTS ON A DARK RAINY NIGHT ARE SO POOR IT IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE, IF YOU MEET ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE JUST HOLD ON AND HOPE YOU DO NOT HIT EACH OTHER, AS YOU CAN'T TELL YOU ARE GOING TO. I HAVE HAD IT BACK FOR REPAIR BUT THEY TELL ME THERE IS NO FIX FOR A CHEVY, IF I HAD A GMC THERE IS A FIX. MY RADIO WILL NOT WORK WHEN ITS REALLY COLD OUT. MY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARSHLY AND ENGINE FLUTTERS BETWEEN GEARS. WHEN I SLOW DOWN COMING INTO TOWN I FEEL A HARD DOWN SHIFT, ALSO IF GOING SLOW AND CLIMBING A HILL THAT IS WHEN IT FEELS AS IF THE ENGINE HAS A SMALL SKIP BUT IT IS THE TRANSMISSION NOT SHIFTING INTO A LOWER GEAR. THERE IS ALSO NO FIX FOR POOR SHIFTING.

FIRST COMPLAINT: THE HEADLIGHTS OF THIS VEHICLE ARE NOT VARY GOOD. TO THE POINT OF BEING DANGEROUS. WHEN AIMED HIGH ENOUGH THAT I CAN SEE FAR ENOUGH AS TO NOT BE OVER DRIVING THE HEADLIGHTS THEY BLIND ON-COMING TRAFFIC. WHEN AIMED LOW ENOUGH THAT THEY DO NOT BLIND OTHER DRIVERS, (THIS WAS THE FACTOR SETTING) I CAN NOT SEE FAR ENOUGH FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE AT FREEWAY SPEEDS. THE HEADLIGHT OUTPUT IS DIM, AND THE LIGHT IS NOT WELL CONTROLLED. THE LIGHTS ARE ALSO POSITIONED TO HIGH IN THE VEHICLE, AND THIS CAUSES A LARGE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THIS IS CONCERNING THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ONLY. SECOND COMPLAINT: THE OPTIONAL TOW/ CAMPER MIRRORS HAVE VARY BRIGHT RED TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS IN THEM. THEY ARE OVERLY BRIGHT TO THE DRIVER AND MAKE LANE CHANGES DIFFICULT AT NIGHT AS THEY BLIND YOU WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE MIRROR. THIS IS A BIG SAFETY CONCERN TO ME, AS THIS MAKES SEEING WHAT IS NEXT TO THE TRUCK VARY HARD AT DAWN AND DUSK. THANK YOU. *TR

ON MARCH 21, 2014 I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2015 CHEVROLET 2500 HD DIESEL TRUCK AT A COST OF $ 62,500. I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE LIGHTS ON THIS TRUCK FROM DAY ONE. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY IF IT IS RAINING. THE HEADLAMPS ON DIM DO NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SEE MORE THAN 100 YARDS IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THERE IS NO LIGHT PROJECTED TO THE SIDE MAKING IT EXTREMELY DANGEROUS WHEN MAKING TURNS, ESPECIALLY LEFT HAND TURNS. I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE TO CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THEY COULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE LIGHTS WERE PERFORMING AS DESIGNED. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS ANSWER. ALTHOUGH THEY OFFERED ME A $ 2000 DISCOUNT ON A NEW GM VEHICLE, I AM NOT WILLING TO TAKE THE DEPRECIATION TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO GET RID OF A PROBLEM THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE INTERNET OF THIS SAME LIGHTING ISSUE. NOT ONLY IS THIS PROBLEM A HAZARD TO MYSELF AND FAMILY, BUT OTHERS ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M NOT ASKING THEM FOR A NEW $ 62,500 VEHICLE, I JUST WANT MINE FIXED. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME ON THIS MATTER. THANKS
