Subject: allegations, herein, of safety concerns for, production years (2014 -2018) chevrolet silverado 1500 ltz71 and gmc sierra 1500 all terrain as; 'off road' and 'trail performance' capable vehicles. 1. Gmc/chevrolet advertises these vehicles, sab, as 'off road' capable vehicles without restrictions. Further, company brochures for 2014-2018, enhance this advertising with quotes and pictures displaying as such. Note: owner's manuals for these vehicles do not address 'off road' driving with the unsafe low design front end. 2. Allege, the silverado's low design front end, is inadequate for 'off road' driving and highly susceptible to damage, causing impacts resulting in loss of vehicle control and an occupant safety concern. Upon my traversing on uneven ground, results in the low design front end (air damper, bumper, and grille) digging in and causing loss of vehicle control as well as significant damage, even at crawl speeds. The low front end (pics attached) acts as a cattle catcher, snow plow and in deep mud and snow, a jack suspending the vehicle on the frame making the design hazardous. 3. To confirm my allegations, request review of the sale of all front end replacement parts for, 2014-2018 production years. 4. I also allege that advertising, as an 'off road' and 'trail performance' capable vehicle is fraudulent as it conveys the z71 4x4 vehicles as safe for 'off road' use, without restrictions, nor cautions the occupants of the low front end design that is susceptible to damage and costly repair, nor cautions the occupants of the potential for impact and loss of control (redirect) of the vehicle if damage occurs. 5. Request protection under the whistleblower protection act. [xxx] [xxx] [xxx] VIN [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'
