2015 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Visibility (wipers, defrost, mirrors) Problems

“Trailer tow mirrors do not extend far enough to see rear of truck 8 ft wide rack body. Spot flood lights shine off body blinding drivers vision because mirriors do not extend far enough. My 2013 gmc 3500 sierra dump truck mirriors extend 2 inches further then the 2015.only have half view of mirrors on my 2015 chevy 3500. This is a major safety issue. I have brought this issue up to quirk and lannan cheverolet.”

“I remote started my 2015 silverado 3500hd duramax. After about 5 minutes of idle time I began driving the truck. About 3/4 miles down the road I detected the smell of something burning or very hot. My first though was it was coming from the outside. Before I could figure out what was burning heavy white/gray smoke starting exiting from lower weather stripping on the rear center sliding window. Before I could take action I heard a loud popping sound. I looked back again and the rear passenger side window was entirely shattered. At this time I killed the rear window defrost and the smoke quite. …”

“Silverado 3500 hd truck is equipped with towing/camper side view mirrors equipped with red turn signals embedded in mirror glass. Red turn signal LED's impair vision at night, and shine directly into drivers eyes, making it extremely difficult to see outside vehicle in direction of turn. The turn signal LED's are manufactured without any sort of shielding coating in mirror glass which would reduce the brightness of the LED's. Also the mirrors are mounted to high for average higth people. Two inches lower would help a lot for turning visibility.”

“A rear defrost system malfunctioned and was smoking in the interior of the vehicle followed by the rear glass shattering. The electrical malfunction could have easily started a fire and glass flying around the cab a highway speeds could definitely be hazard. I called the dealership and they were unconcerned and gave me a quote to replace it. the dealer or the aftermarket glass replacement company have not heard of it happening. I did find a recall in Canada. Strangely enough mine was done in Canada and it happened again.”
