Summary
This complaint is about other cars affecting me while I’m driving at night. Around 50% of oncoming traffic is using dangerously bright headlights. It is so bright that it’s physically painful to my eyes and leaves a blind spot in my field of vision that lasts for several minutes after each encounter. The head lights are so bright that when highbeams are switched off manually, there is barely a difference. They are so bright when they are NOT on high beams that the turn signals are very difficult or literally impossible to see. Some amount of vehicles are using automatic highbeams that do not adapt properly. They are sometimes on full high beam brightness during daylight hours (and are just as painful to look at in daylight). They do not register my vehicle’s headlights or approaching traffic so instead of automatically dimming, I am being blinded by full high beams. Sometimes flashing my highbeams will trigger them to dim, but their vehicle has to be pretty close to mine for it to work. Their automatic highbeams do not dim when they are behind my car, causing my rear view and side mirrors to be completely unusable. Flipping the rear view mirror does not help. While sitting at a stoplight at an intersection, vehicles opposite to mine often maintain their highbeams and are too far from mine for flashing my highbeams at them to do anything. Some of the bright headlights (not on high beams) I believe are LED retrofit and this is probably why turn signals are barely or not at all visible with some vehicles. Some of these suspected LED retrofits are as bright as the ones on a fire truck or ambulance. I saw them side by side tonight, prompting me to finally write this complaint. This problem needs to be regulated for the safety of everyone, especially night drivers and cars that sit lower to the ground than SUV/trucks. My windshield and my eye level is at the same height as an SUV’s headlights. Maybe a lumens test as part of the yearly inspection would help.

Summary
Traveling on interstate preparing to exit on ramp. Press start button displayed, car immediately sounded like it geared down hard and then lost power, unable to control well, all I could do to come to a safe stop, while praying that the car behind me didn’t hit me. The car basically locked up while preparing to exit the interstate. So scary, terrifying and dangerous.

Summary
The check transmission light comes and goes. Ive had the transmission flushed with no issues. It pulls codes for the torque converter as its supposedly getting stuck per mechanic or is over heating and throwing the code. It does not drive rough and I believe it is a faulty code that needs to be addressed and updated and cleared. Ive had it cleared out once and it stayed off for a whole month. The light and blinking D doesn't come on all the time or in patterns so that also tells me it isn't a transmission issue or it would be on more frequently and consistently. To where when mine comes on and then I shut my car off for an hour it stays off for quite some time. This really needs to be addressed instead of causing car owners unnecessary costs for diagnostic purposes through a Honda dealer which costs 100.00 or more or even them putting in a complete new transmission.

Summary
My 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has experienced two separate major drivetrain failures — complete transmission and turbo replacements — within two years of purchase, both during peak use months. The second repair kept the vehicle in service for nine months with no ETA provided until escalation. The repeated failures have rendered the vehicle frequently unusable, caused significant business loss, and represent more than normal wear. Documentation of repairs and dates is attached.

Summary
Driving down the road and car became sluggish to respond/accelerate and could barely operate at slow speeds or not be able to go. Thankfully at this time I was close to home and not on the highway but was leaving on a long trip with areas of no service and isolation and temps in the -20F could be a very dangerous situation. There were no warning lights on at all. But I own a code reader and hooked it up anyways and got code P0299. Took it to a small local repair shop and will include their report as a file because I don't understand all of it but this is a known issue/defect from the manufacturer with a technical bulletin out about it with a fix for it. Was never notified of this at purchase or since. Then took to the manufacturer dealership to try and get them to fix it but they won't and want more money than the small shop. Feel misled when headquarters said yea we should cover that move it to a dealership.

Summary
The water pump started leaking and I believe that the coolant coming out of the water pump got the electric power steering terminals (which are right below the water pump) wet which caused the power steering to stop working and needs to be replaced.
