“My battery was dead this morning, so I jump started my truck. I let it run stationary for 10 minutes and the battery exploded. It sounded like a bomb went off. It blew the battery into pieces, electronics and the coolant resivoir. It sprayed battery acid, coolant everywhere. My ears were ringing as I was 10 feet from it. It also dented the fender on my truck. I contacted the local chevy dealership and was blown off, was told I would be called back but was not. They said they had no information on problems with those batteries and said they couldn't get a resivoir for 3 days. …”

NHTSA complaint #11010394, filed 2017-07, 40,200 miles“The vehicle had a handicapped driver conversion, with a gull-wing driver's door. The driver's door was only held closed with a magnet at the front of the door opening. There was not a latch to actually hold the door closed. In the accident, the truck was traveling at a high rate of speed on a gravel road. The roadway sharply descended to a low-water bridge, which caused the truck to elevate and leave the roadway. When the truck returned to the road, the magnet holding the driver's door failed, the driver's door popped open, and the driver was ejected 80 feet. …”
NHTSA complaint #11221787, filed 2019-06, 61,165 miles“I purchased a 2015 chevy 2500 silverado ltz black new. The paint is starting to check and bubble on the truck. The hood is the worst so far but u can see it's starting on every panel on truck. The truck has barely 50,000 miles , has always been garaged, and babied. I took it to the chevy dealership and say they won't do anything because it over 3 year 36000 mile corrosion warranty. I've been a chevy truck driver for 25 years I will soon be driving another brand and will be showing and telling people how they back the product. Very disappointed!”
