The contact, who owns a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, reported an incident that occurred while driving at approximately 35 MPH. A semi-truck, backing out of a warehouse across three lanes, collided with the driver's side of the contact's vehicle, causing damage to the entire left side. Despite the impact, no airbags were deployed. The collision exacerbated the contact's existing lower back and spine injuries, necessitating medical attention and ongoing physical therapy.

Vehicle is used to tow a fifth wheel rv. The exhaust heat from the truck has melted /deformed fiberglass and plastic on the fifth wheel directly behind the exhaust outlet. The truck is completely stock without any after market additions. The truck has less then 10 k miles, and the damage occurred around 8500 miles. I am concerned about the truck causing a fire on the rv. I have contacted the manufacturer but they have not offered any resolution to the problem.
