2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Regular Cab Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 Regular Cab

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.

No
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.

Components Involved: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Date of incident: 2015-01-05
Complaint:
"the dashboard is cracked in 3 places around the airbag. this could potentially be a safety hazard if the airbag were to deploy sending projectile pieces of plastic towards the occupants of the vehicle. the cracks in the dashboard formed due to an obvious design flaw. there was no incident that caused the cracks just normal driving."

Complaint:
"cracks on dashboard"
Components Involved: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Date of incident: 2014-03-11
Complaint:
"total fog up of windshield and all windows. this only occurs below freezing as noted by the information center warning of the possibility of freezing roads. the yellow a/c on light in the fan speed control knob is not on, and when the a/c button is pushed the yellow a/c on light flashes three times and goes out. there is no configuration that will activate the a/c and thus mitigate the fog! in speaking with the service manager at the dealer i am told that this is a common problem with these models as there is no way to turn the a/c on manualy and that below freezing the a/c is automaticly selected off by the sensors! it turns out that the a/c button only serves to shut off the a/c if desired. the only operational way to work around this is to turn the defog full hot open the windows and pull over until a viewing hole can be cleared. this clearly is a systemic safety problem with these models!"
Components Involved: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Date of incident: 2010-01-11

"the air conditioner will not come on to clear window of fog below 40 degrees . this is dangerous and has caused me to almost go off road as no visibility present. the windows will fog up so quickly and the defroster can not clear windshield fast enough .the air conditioner is automatically controlled instead of manually. *ln"
