2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Crew Cab 4-DR. Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Crew Cab 4-DR.

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.

No
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:
"my son was driving my newly purchased 2010 chevy silverado 1500 z71 offroad vehicle. he had pulled off the roadway momentarily, and upon pulling back onto the pavement and beginning to get up to speed, the side curtain air bags deployed and the vehicle shut down. he was able to restart it and drove about 50 feet when it shut down again. of course, all the components to the air bags were in the cabin and he jumped out of the truck where he was stopped and was able to look over the situation. he contacted me and since he was only 31/2 miles from our home, i drove to the location. the air bags were hanging, and the passenger seat belt was locked tight. he had his seat belt on and it was hanging. he said he hadn't hit anything, had just pulled back onto the pavement and the bags went off. the truck eventually was able to be restarted and he drove it home. the deployment cracked the head liner and i have had an estimate to repair the damage and fix the air bags, a total of $4800 that my insurance won't cover due to the fact there were no injuries because there was no accident. why are there so many instances of this happening nationwide? now i am out almost $5000 for something beyond my control as the dealership where i purchased it won't help either."
