2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD PU/RC 2WD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTD PU/RC 2WD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Optional
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"the integrated trailer braking system will function momentarily and then disable entirely while towing a trailer. this is extremely dangerous as it will not allow the vehicle to come safely to a stop if needed. emergency braking would be greatly hindered without functioning trailer brakes. gm knows of this problem and "does not have a fix". see attached dealer description. this is not an isolated incident. see attached link https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/260521-2022-silverado-faulty-trailer-brake-controller-and-buggy-camera-when-trailer-connected/"

Date of incident: 2024-03-10

Complaint:
"trailer brake system is not working. vehicle is reporting trouble code c159c and is subject to service bulletin pit5948a per the dealership. the latest update states “gm is aware of the issue and is working on a resolution”. the latest update is almost 3 months ago. i have an active case with gm on this. case sr:9-8884642509. they gave me a $300 credit to my chevrolet account to purchase chevy parts however i want my truck working. not being able to use the trailer brake system is very dangerous when towing and the fact that this is a $60,000 truck that i literally bought to tow my camper and can’t even tow with it safely defeats the purpose of my paying for this truck."

Complaint:
"purchased 2022 chevrolet silverado 1500 new on 10/4/2022. first used to tow on 10/7/2022 with less than 500 miles from new on vehicle. i hooked up our brand new camper (1 month old 2022 grand design imagine) to the truck and the integrated trailer brake controller for the first time and a message appeared on dic stating "trailer brakes disabled service required" and the trailer brakes disengaged. restarted vehicle and the message west away, only to come back on the first time i applied the brakes. dealership service department has been helpful in as much as they have evaluated both my truck and the camper. found the truck integrated brake controller was not communicating properly and had a dtc of c159c. dealership tested camper trailer brakes and found them to be working properly (as expected). dealership service department states gm knows about this issue and has no known correction to the issue. they are keeping an open service ticket on this issue. in the interim the dealership service department has installed an aftermarket trailer brake controller so i do have trailer brakes until gm solves the issue."
