UPON PREVIOUS CALLS TO GM THEY ARE DISMISSING THIS RECALL; HOWEVER, THE RECALL NOTICE IS ON MY LICENSE PLATE RENEWAL FORM, SEARCHABLE ON THE INTERNET AND THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND YET NO ONE IS HOLDING GM ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERY 2007-2008 GM OWNER (CERTAIN 2007-2008 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE ESV, ESCALADE EXT, CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SILVERADO 1500, SUBURBAN, TAHOE, GMC SIERRA 1500, YUKON, AND YUKON XL VEHICLES) WHOM ARE AT RISK.
O'REILLY CHEVROLET DEALER LISTED ON RECALL WAS CONTACTED WITH ALMOST RIDICULOUS RESULTS. FIRST PHONE CALL WAS TOLD PERSON WHO HANDLED RECALLS WAS OU, WOULD RETURN CALL, NEVER HAPPENED. CALLED LATER SAME PERSON SAID THEY WOULD ASSIST BUT I NEEDED A RECALL NUMBER. I HAD NO SUCH NUMBER BUT I DID HAVE VIN, AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES ON HOLD I WAS TOLD THER WAS A RECALL BUT I WOULD NEED TO BRING VEHICLE IN TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS NECESSARY TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. ARRIVED AT SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO LINE OF CARS AND WAITING ROOM FULL OF CUSTOMERS, APPROXIMATELY 1/2 HOUR WAIT. TURNED OFF PASSENGER AIRBAG AND WILL SELL ACCORDINGLY.
NO REMEDY FOR TAKATA AIR BAGS NO NOTICE OF FIXING UNSAFE PROBLEM WITH THEM FROM MANUFACTURE OWNED TRUCK SENCE NEW
HAVE A GM RECALL FROM JULY 2016 ON REPLACING FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONTACTED GM RECENTLY AND WAS TOLD THAT RECALL INCOMPLETE BECAUSE GM HAS NOT HEARD FROM INFORMATION FROM NHTSA REGARDING PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALLY. SO HOW ARE WE TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND INSURE THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE SAFE IF DEPLOYED? CONSUMER IS BEING LEFT BEHIND ON THIS ISSUE OF SAFETY AND GM AND FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ARE DOING NOTHING FOR OVER 4 YEARS NOW. THIS ISSUE WITH GM NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND CONSUMERS SAFETY TAKEN SERIOUSLY. NO MORE GM PRODUCTS FOR THIS HOUSEHOLD, AS THEY ARE PASSING THE BUCK AND NOT LOOKING OUT FOR THEIR CONSUMERS. AND GOV'T (NHTSA) ISN'T MOVING QUICKLY ON THIS ISSUE EITHER.
SWERVED TO MISS A DEER AND HIT AN EMBANKMENT AND A CEMENT CULVERT ON A HIGHWAY AT NIGHT, WAS BY MYSELF. NEITHER OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND I HIT MY CHEST EXTREMELY HARD ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND I AM IN SEVERE PAIN FROM MY RIBS. HAVE SEVERE HEMATOMA AND BRUISING.
THE ENTIRE FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT ON THE TRUCK WE JUST HAD TO GET RID OF IT DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO GET INSPECTION STICKER ON THE VEHICLE,GM HOLDS NO ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS AND THERE IS PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS FROM OTHERS WHO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE

MY HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT,EVERY MONTH I HAVE TO REPLACE A HEADLIGHT. I HAVE TALKED WITH MANY PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME YEAR MODEL AND PEOPLE WITH ONE YEAR OLDER AND ONE YEAR NEWER AND THEY ALL SAY THE SAMETHING HAPPENS TO THEM. SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD MY MECHANIC AND OTHER MECHANICS LOOK AT IT AND NONE OF THEM CAN FIGURE IT OUT. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF IM SITTING STILL OR IN MOTION ,IVE HAD THEM GO OUT AT DIFFERENT TIMES.
PLEASE FINALIZE THE DECISION ON RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SEVERAL YEARS FOR AN OUTCOME. EVERY TIME I CHECK ON THE RECALL, I AM ADVISED (WHETHER IT BE BY GM OR NHTSA) THAT THE RECALL IS "INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE." APPARENTLY, GM FILED A PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND THE DETERMINATION OF THAT PETITION HAS BEEN HANGING IN LIMBO FOR YEARS. PLEASE EITHER APPROVE IT OR DENY IT. WELL OVER A YEAR AGO, I CONTACTED GM AND THEY INSISTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS SAFER TO DRIVE. MEANWHILE, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE OCCURRING DUE TO NUMEROUS US DEATHS RELATED TO THE AIRBAGS. NHTSA HAS NOT MADE A DETERMINATION. I WENT SO FAR AS TO CONTACT MY STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE OVER A YEAR AGO AND THEY COULD NOT COMMENT. PLEASE RESOLVE AND CAUSE GM TO ADVISE CONSUMERS. THANK YOU!

RECALL 09184 RECENTLY MY SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND TOOK VEHICLE TO GM SERVICE SUNSET CHEVROLET SUMNER WASHINGTON. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SDM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF EXCESSIVE CORROSION AND COMPONENT FAILURE. WAITING TO CONDUCT REPAIRS, I DISCOVERED A RECALL THAT PERTAINED TO THE SENSOR RETAINING MOISURE DUE TO ACOUSTIC PADDING COVERING THE COMPONENT, BUT ONLY COVERS VEHICLES REGISTERED IN SPECIFIC STATES, WA NOT BEING ONE OF THEM. WILL THIS RECALL BE EXTENDED TO MY VEHICLE? THIS IS A VERY COSTLY REPAIR THAT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED IF I THE OWNER NEW I COULD HAVE PREVENTED IT BY FOLLOWING THE PROVIDED INSTRUCTIONS IN THE RECALL. IF IT WILL NOT BE EXTENDED TO MY VEHICLE IS THERE A PROCESS OR ACTION I CAN TAKE TO HELP OFF SET THE REPAIR COST?
NO FUEL FROM FUEL PUMP, WAS RUNNING CUT-OFF WOULD NOT RE-START,LUCKILY I HAS JUST STOPPED FOR A SODA.
ADDITIONALLY, A SMALL NUMBER OF 2007-2012 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES THAT INCLUDE; 2008-2013 CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, 2008-2009 CHEVROLET COLORADO VEHICLES; 2007-2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, 2008-2014 SUBURBAN, AND TAHOE VEHICLES; 2008-2013 GMC SIERRA AND 2009-2012 YUKON VEHICLES; 2008-2009 GMC CANYON VEHICLES; 2009-2010 HUMMER H2, H3 AND H3T VEHICLES; AND 2008-2009 SATURN VUE AND 2009 OUTLOOK VEHICLES MAY HAVE BEEN SERVICED WITH A CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE THAT COULD HAVE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION, CAUSING AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN THE MODULE. IF THE MODULE EXPERIENCES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, THE VEHICLE COULD DISPLAY A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, STALL, OR FAIL TO START. IF THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES THIS CONDITION AND STALLS WHILE IN MOTION, THERE COULD BE AN INCREASED RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL # 16V381 I HAVE CONTACTED THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER IN SANTA ROSA CA ON NUMEROUS OCASSIONS DURING THE PAST 2 YEARS IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET THE AIR BAG REPLACED. EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AND REQUEST YOUR ASSISTANCE.
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY TRUCK FRAME. IT IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH IN A FEW SPOTS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE IT IS TO KEEP DRIVING. THIS IS A COMBINATION OF POOR ENGINEERING/ CHEAP STEEL FROM GM'S SIDE AND THE HIGHLY CORROSIVE CHEMICALS THAT ARE PUT ON THE ROADS IN NEW ENGLAND FROM THE DOT. GM HAS CLEARLY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I AM ON MY OWN TO COVER THE COST OF A NEW FRAME OR A NEW VEHICLE.
I RECEIVED NOTICE OF A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG OF MY TRUCK BACK IN 2016 BUT NO ONE WILL FIX OR REPLACE IT. EVERY TIME I CALL TAKATA OR SOME NUMBER ON THE ORIGINAL NOTICE THEY DO NOT HAVE A REMEDY. CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN WHAT IS GOING ON BEFORE MY AIRBAG CAUSES A PROBLEM OR DEATH?

TAKARA RECALL. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I HAD A SERVICE LIGHT ON FOR THE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE GM CERTIFIED DEALER. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT THEY FIGURED IT WAS THE SDM. THEIR BEST GUESS AND TO START WITH THAT. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY, IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS AS OF YET. SO THROUGHOUT THE COURSE THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY.

AFTER MY HOUR LONG MEETING MY MANAGER HAD NOTIFIED ME, THAT MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. IT WAS OFF, PARKED, AND AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN.

MY DASH HAS CRACKS IN MANY PLACES THAT STARTED WITHIN 6 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. HOWEVER WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THEY'RE THREE LOCATED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE?

IF YOU SEARCH GM CRACKED DASH YOU WILL FIND ENDLESS ARTICLES AND VIDEOS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL". I SPOKE TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP PERSON (ALL STAR CHEVROLET NORTH, 9352 PLANK ROAD, BATON ROUGE, LA) ABOUT REPLACING MY TRUCK PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I FIRST CONTACTED THEM ON NOVEMBER 7, 2017 AND WAS TOLD THE DEVICE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN ON MAY 10, 2018 AND SPOKE WITH AMANDA.

I DECIDED TO CALL CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER (1-800-222-1020) AND I SPOKE WITH JANE. JANE EXPLAINED THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL BUT YOUR WEB SITE AND CHEVROLET WEB SITE (HTTP://MY.GM.COM/RECALLS) STATE THAT MY VEHICLE IS PART OF THE 'TAKATA RECALL'. JANE MENTIONED SOMETHING ABOUT CHEVROLET HIRING A THIRD PARTY ENGINEERING FIRM THAT DETERMINED THAT VEHICLES LIKE MINE WAS NOT AFFECTED. I ASKED FOR THIS IN AN EMAIL OR LETTER BUT SHE SAID SHE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO RELEASE THIS INFORMATION IN WRITTEN FORM. 'ELECTRICAL ISSUE'. VEHICLE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WHEN I SEARCH THE INTERNET. ALSO VEHICLE SHOWS THE 'AIRBAG' NEEDS SERVING THEN RIGHT AFTER THIS THE 'CHECK ENGINE' SYMBOL APPEARED. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THESE ISSUES ARE NOT RELATED. THANKS.

THE DASH BOARD ON MY 2008 SILVERADO LTZ IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES, MY SAFETY CONCERN IS, THAT IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THERE IS A GREAT POSSIBILITY THAT SHARP PIECES (SHARDS) OF THE CRACKING, DEFECTIVE DASH, WOULD BE SENT FLYING THROUGH THE CAB. THIS COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE LACERATIONS AND BLINDNESS. THIS DASH CRACKING ON 2007-2014 GM PRODUCTS IS WELL KNOWN AND VERY COMMON. REPLACING THE FACTORY DASH IS VERY COSTLY. I AM CONCERNED THAT AFTERMARKET "COVERS" OR "CAPS" MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ALSO THERE IS A RECALL 49151 ON THE AIR BAGS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT AN AFTER MARKET "CAP" OR "COVER" MIGHT INTERFERE WITH THE REPLACEMENT OR SERVICE OF THE RECALLED AIR BAG, AS MOST OF THESE AFTERMARKET CAPS ARE DIFFICULT TO "UNINSTALL", IF ACCESS IS NEEDED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE COMPONENTS BELOW THE DASH.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL FOR THE FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATOR WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE OR EVEN PLANNED AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. JUST GOT A NEW NOTIFICATION THAT TAKATA HAS FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY! NOW WHAT??
TAKATA INFLATORS. IN JUNE OF 2016, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR AN AIRBAG SYSTEM FUNCTION CAME ON. I HAD TO REPLACE ONE OF THE SENSORS THAT HAD MALFUNTIONED NEAR THE FRONT BUMPER THAT ACTIVATES THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS - AT MY OWN EXPENSE. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND A LOT OF OWNERS OF SIMILAR SILVERADOS EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PART PROBLEM. THEN, I RECEIVED GM RECALL 49152 IN JULY, 2016 STATING THAT "THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG-TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES". SINCE I LIVE IN NORTH CAROLINA AND THE TRUCK STAYS PARKED OUTSIDE 24/7, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND ANYONE RIDING WITH ME. WHILE WHAT HAS BEEN WARNED HAS NOT OCCURRED YET, I'M CONCERNED THAT IT COULD AT ANY TIME - ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW THE MANY OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SENSORS LIKE MINE THAT WENT BAD SEEM TO BE FAULTY.

TAKATA RECALL...I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY 2016 OF A RECALL ON TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE. THIS RECALL STATED THAT THE PROPELLANT IN THE INFLATOR CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. WHEN THIS PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATOR CAN RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. AS OF NOVEMBER 2017, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE FOR THIS RECALL FOR A DEFECTIVE ITEM THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH FOR ME OR MY FAMILY. I HAVE CALLED ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF A REMEDY SEVERAL TIMES, WITH THE MOST RECENT CALL TAKING PLACE IN AUGUST 2017, WHEN I WAS ASSURED THAT THE SOLUTION WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY THE END OF OCTOBER. IT IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN ALABAMA AND HAVE OWNED MY TRUCK FOR 7 YEARS, SO MY AIRBAG PROPELLANT HAS BEEN EXPOSED TO THE EXACT CONDITIONS AND LENGTH OF EXPOSURE THAT COULD RESULT IN DEATH AS STATED IN THE RECALL FURTHERMORE, IT ANGERS ME THAT THE RECALL STATES THAT THIS PROPELLANT, WHEN EXPOSED TO HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, COULD RESULT IN DEATH BUT THEN GOES ON TO STATE THAT "THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY SAFE TO DRIVE". I THINK THAT GM AND TAKATA HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO ESTABLISH A REMEDY FOR THE PROBLEM. IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT NEITHER COMPANY CARES ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. SOME ACTION NEEDS TO BE TAKEN AGAINST THESE COMPANIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY TAKE ACTION TO REPAIR THESE POTENTIALLY DEADLY PROBLEMS.

TAKATA RECALL
DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. ONE IS LOCATED BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. ANOTHER IS LOCATED NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ONE NEAR THE AIRBAG IS PARTICULARLY WORRISOME. IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY, JAGGED PIECES OF PLASTIC COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG OR BE PROPELLED AT THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT OR CRASH. THESE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD SIMPLY APPEARED OVER TIME AND APPEAR TO BE VERY COMMON AMONG CHEVY TRUCKS IN THE MODEL YEARS OF 2007-2013. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INTERNET POSTS/FORUMS DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THIS DEFECT.

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW IN AUGUST 2008. I NOTICED THE FIRST DASHBOARD CRACK, ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ABOUT TWO YEARS LATER. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM, OVER CONCERNS ABOUT POSSIBLE SPLINTERING OF THE DASHBOARD IN THE EVENT AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE DEALER ONLY OFFERED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. THE QUOTE WAS JUST OVER $1200. HE ALSO ASSURED ME THAT MY STILL ACTIVE, "BUMBER TO BUMBER" WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THIS PARTICULAR DEFECT. OF COURSE NOW I'VE GOT A CRACK FROM THE DEFROST VENT TO THE WINDSHIELD, AND CRACKING OVER THE GAUGE CLUSTER SO SEVERE THAT IT IS BASICALLY A HOLE. IT IS MORE THAN OBVIOUS THAT THIS COMPONENT IS DEFECTIVE IN MATERIAL, DESIGN, APPLICATION OR MOUNTING METHOD. IT IS ALSO OBVIOUS THAT THIS COMPONENT IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF SPLINTERING SHOULD AN IMPACT AND/OR AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OCCUR. THE HOLE IN MY DASHBOARD ALSO REPRESENTS MULTIPLE VIOLATIONS OF AUTOMOTIVE SAFETY AND CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS.SET FORTH BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. ALL THAT BEING SAID, I HAVE TAKEN IMMACULATE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE AND THERE IS NO PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION OTHER THAN A DEFECT IN THE COMPONENT ITSELF.

EXPERIENCING SPORADIC ISSUES WITH MY TRUCKS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SPEED), I WILL HEAR A LOUD "POP" (SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE A DESKTOP COMPUTER LOSING POWER) AND THEN MY DASHBOARD/MONITOR SCREEN WILL GO DARK AND AFTER A SPLIT SECOND EVERYTHING COME BACK ON. THE DASHBOARD WILL FLASH ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MORE SECONDS. ABOUT EVERY THIRD TIME THIS HAPPENS, IF I PARK THE CAR AND TRY TO RESTART IT IT WON'T TURN OVER. IN THESE INSTANCES, I CAN HEAR CURRENT CYCLING THROUGH MY POWER DOOR LOCK SWITCH ALONG WITH AN ELECTRIC CLICKING NOISE THAT WON'T STOP. IF I LET THE TRUCK SIT FOR 15 MINUTES OR SO, I CAN GET THE TRUCK TO RESTART. I HAVE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE I COULD NEVER GET IT TO TURN OVER. THIS PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED WHEN THE TRUCK WAS 3-4 YEARS OLD AND STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE AND DIDN'T REPLACE ANY PARTS. NOW ALL THE REPAIRS ARE COMING OUT OF MY POCKET. I'VE REPLACED THE BATTERY A COUPLE TIMES THINKING I HAD A FAULTY BATTERY. LATER I REPLACED THE BATTERY CABLE THINKING THIS WAS THE CAUSE AND MOST RECENTLY REPLACED THE FUSE BOX. IN ALL INSTANCES, THE PROBLEM WOULD GO AWAY FOR ANYWHERE FROM 3-6 MONTHS AND THEN REAPPEAR. AS I SAID IT IS VERY INTERMITTENT WITH NO CONSISTENCY TO IT WHATSOEVER. MY TRUCK HAS NEVER DIED WHILE DRIVING WHEN THIS HAS OCCURRED, ALTHOUGH I'M SCARED TO DEATH IT WILL DO SO AND I'LL LOSE ALL POWER. MY BROTHER-IN-LAW IS A MASTER MECHANIC FOR A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS HIM COMPLETELY STUMPED. HE'S READ THROUGH ALL THE TSB'S, CHECKED ON-LINE BLOG'S, ETC. AS WELL AS DOING HIS OWN TECHNICAL TROUBLESHOOTING, BUT CANNOT PIN DOWN THE EXACT ISSUE. AT THIS POINT WE'VE RESORTED TO REPLACING THE MOST LIKELY PARTS AND HOPING FOR THE BEST. AS I SAID I REPLACED THE FUSE BOX ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO AND THE PROBLEM RESURFACED TODAY.
SEAT BELT ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES WILL NOT LOCK ANY LONGER. THEY HAVE WORN OUT AND BROKE. THIS SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE 2007 RECALL THAT HAPPENED. THIS IS A 2008 TRUCK.

TAKATA RECALL # 16V381. I BOUGHT THIS CHEVY NEW AND WAS DRIVING TO LOUISIANA. MY MILEAGE AT THE TIME WAS 35,955 MILES. THE RED COLORED SEAT BELT LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TO CLOSE TO THE 36,000 MILE MARK FOR WARRANTY COVERAGE TO MAKE IT TO SHREVEPORT, LA. SO I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK WITH THE LIGHT ON. I HAVE ASKED DEALERSHIPS IF THEY SEE THE PROBLEM, BUT WAS ASKED FOR A COMMITMENT FOR UNKNOWN AMOUNTS OF MONEY TO CHECK AND REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. THANK THE LORD I HAVE NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS CONDITION. I WANT TO KNOW IF THIS HAS BEEN THE CASE WITH OTHER MODELS AS MINE. I HAVE A SECOND PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE AN TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT AT ABOUT 92,000 MILES AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. LASTLY THE YELLOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON. I HAVE SPENT SEVERAL THOUSAND TO FIX THIS. EVEN AT DEALERSHIP. I WOULD LEAVE AND THE LIGHT WOULD RETURN. SOMETIMES I HAD ONLY DRIVEN A MILE. I HAVE HAD OTHER MECHANICS CHECK IT OUT AND IT APPEARS I HAVE A LIFTER PROBLEM ON MY NUMBER TWO CYLINDER CAUSING INTERMITTENT MISFIRES TO OCCUR. IS THIS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH MY MODEL?

I GOT A SIMILAR NOTICE FROM LEXUS A FEW DAYS EARLIER, AND LEXUS OFFERED A RENTAL NO QUESTIONS ASKED UNTIL THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THE CHEVY DEALER SAID THEY ARE NOT OFFERING RENTALS AT THIS TIME. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE SAID MY TRUCK IS SAFE TO DRIVE SO NO RENTAL WARRANTED. I ASKED THE REP WHY DID I GET A LETTER THEN SAYING THAT MY AIRBAG MAY KILL ME AND WAS TOLD SHE CAN'T ANSWER THAT. I WANT A RENTAL OF A SIMILAR TRUCK UNTIL THIS IS FIXED. I LIVE IN ZONE 1/A OF THE RECALL AS WELL, SO IF ANYONE IS LIKELY TO HAVE A PROBLEM, WE ARE IN THIS AREA.

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AND THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES. ONE CRACK IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, DIRECTLY OVER THE AIR BAG. THE OTHER CRACK IS ABOVE THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. EVERY 2008-2013 CHEVROLET PICKUP OR SUV THAT I HAVE SEEN HAS ONE, IF NOT BOTH, OF THESE CRACKS. I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE ANY DAMAGE IN OR AROUND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM WILL NOT FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS THEIR FAULT.
THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE DIE OUT WAS FOUND TO BE AN INTERNAL FAULT IN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE.
DASHBOARD CRACKING ALL OVER, IN PARTICULAR AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONCERN OF POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL FROM THE DASHBOARD IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO BE DEPLOYED.
DASH HAS CRACKED ALL THE WAY FROM THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE STEERING WHEEL// THERE IS A HUGE HOLE IN IT.
I AM WRITING TO YOU TODAY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN OVER CRACKED DASHBOARDS DUE TO A FAULTY PRODUCT OF GM/CHEVROLET. I HAVE A HUGE CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD WHICH IS NOT CAUSED BY MAINTENANCE OR THE SUN. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD OF CAUSED THIS. I HAVE 3 OTHER PEOPLE AT MY WORK THAT HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME SPOT. YOU CAN ALSO READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER STORIES ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. GM REFUSES TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. I FEAR THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THIS WILL CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD TO FLY ABOUT THE VEHICLE CAUSING FURTHER INJURIES TO A PASSENGER IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.
ENGINE LOST COMPRESSION AND STARTED TICKING WHILE TRAVELING AT 65 MPH AND CAME TO AN ABRUPT STOP IN TRAFFIC. THIS CAUSED A SAFETY CONCERN WITH MY 2 INFANT SONS AS PASSENGERS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING WHICH RESULTED IN A CODE P0304.

FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE ENGINE OCCURRED LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. AT ROUGHLY 88K MILES I NOTICED A SKIP IN POWER/TORQUE ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UPHILL AT A CONSTANT SPEED, A LIGHT LOSS OF POWER WAS NOTICED VERY BRIEFLY AS IF ONE CYLINDER WAS MISSING. LESS THAN 100 MILES LATER THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD THE ENGINE CODE READ AND CYLINDER 7 WAS MISFIRING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 3 DAYS LEFT ON MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (THANK GOD RIGHT?), WRONG. FOR WHATEVER REASON AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. BUT THE LEAKING AND FAILING BRAKE SYSTEM WAS COVERED. ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE LIFTERS HAD FAILED WHICH COSTED ME A GRAND TO FIX LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. EXACTLY ONE YEAR AND ROUGHLY 20K MILES LATER THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A LOUD TICK RIGHT AFTER STARTUP. ITS NOW IDLING VERY ROUGH, RPM GAUGE DOES NOT STAY CONSISTENT AT IDLE AND AT ONE POINT DROPPED ALMOST TO 0, TRUCK ALMOST SHUT OFF AND THEN JUMPED BACK UP. AFTER SPEAKING WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ABOUT IT HE PROPOSED IT WAS THE CAM FROM HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. IT SEEMS THE INCORRECT MATERIAL WAS USED ON SOME OF THE CAMS CONSTRUCTION ("SOFTER METAL"). THIS MECHANIC TOLD ME IT CAN PUT AN INDENTION IN THE CYLINDER WALL AND CAUSE THE VALVES TO MALFUNCTION, IN TURN CAUSING THE LIFTERS TO FAIL. SO IF THIS IS TRUE WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART? EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES INCLUDING BIG COMPANIES, THEY'D BE A LOT MORE RESPECTABLE IF THEY CORRECTED THEIR MISTAKES. SO NOW MY OPTIONS ARE TO SPEND ALL THE MONEY I SAVED FOR COLLEGE, FIX MY TRUCK FOR $4,000 AND NOT GO TO SCHOOL THIS YEAR OR TRADE IT IN AND GET A FORD.

THE DASH HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS THAT MAY CAUSE INJURIES TO ANY BODY PART THAT CONTACTS IT DUE TO SHARP EDGES. IT MAY ALSO CAUSE INJURY DURING A CRASH AND POSSIBLY BY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS A PROBLEM ON MOST OF THESE VEHICLES. THESE CRACKS DEVELOPED WITHOUT PHYSICAL FORCE OR ANY INDUCED DAMAGE. THE CRACKS HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.
THE DASHBOARD HAS THREE MAJOR CRACKS IN IT. TWO AROUND THE AIR BAG AND ONE ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND FALLING APART. IT STARTED WITH CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT IS NOW CRACKING FORWARD OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE, 183K. THE QUESTION IS, WHY ARE THE DASHES CRACKING AT ALL !

AS OTHERS ARE WORRIED, THE DASH BOARDS OF THESE TRUCKS AND SUVS IN THE 07+ MODEL YEARS ARE PRONE TO CRACK INTO PIECES, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASH CAN BECOME PROJECTILES UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND CAN CAUSE INJURY TO OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH I'M NOT AWARE OF THIS HAPPENING, I AM CONCERNED, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, THAT THIS CAN POSE A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY HAZARD.

FOR THE PRODUCTION YEARS 2007 THROUGH 2012, GENERAL MOTORS HAS HAD EXTENSIVE ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARDS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE A 2008 SILVERADO WITH ONLY 53,000 MILES ON IT. I RECENTLY NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY (HUFFINES CHEVROLET IN PLANO, TX) TO HAVE THEM INSPECT THE DASHBOARD. THEY WERE VERY KIND (AS USUAL) AND OFFERED TO EXTEND ME A COURTESY DISCOUNT TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD FOR $500.00 VERSUS THE FULL PRICE OF $1,168.00. WHILE THIS IS A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN SILVERADO'S, SIERRA'S, AVALANCHES, AND SUBURBAN'S FOR 7 PRODUCTION YEARS. BESIDES THE EXPENSE, THESE CRACKED DASHBOARDS REPRESENT MAJOR SAFETY ISSUES. IF THE AIRBAG WAS EVER DEPLOYED, BOTH PASSENGERS AND DRIVERS WILL BE SUBJECTED TO INJURY BY HARD PLASTIC SHRAPNEL FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CABIN. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND OFFER ITS CUSTOMERS A FREE REPLACEMENT OF THESE DANGEROUS BROKEN DASHBOARDS.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE DEALER WOULD NOT RELEASE IT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED.

THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.
FRONT IMPACT SENSOR FOR AIR BAG SYSTEM FAILED DUE TO POOR PLACEMENT, INFERIOR PRODUCT AND LACK OF INITIAL QUALITY INSTALLATION.CORRODED INTERNALLY.
"TAKATA RECALL" IT HAS BEEN OVER 8 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THIS. AS OF TODAY THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION FROM GM. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE CONSIDERING "IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION IN SOME FASHION SO I AM NOT RISKING THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE WAITING.
I HAVE A 2008 SILVERADO 2500HD WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT AND JUST NOTICED TWO CRACKS HAVE FORMED ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET AT NO CHARGE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED SUN PROTECTED EXCEPT WHEN TRAVELING. AT THAT TIME A DASH SCREEN IS USED FOR SUN PROTECTION. I CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HAD ME TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER FOR EXAMINATION. I HAD MY VEHICLE EXAMINED AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON MARCH 21, 2016. THEY EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, TOOK PHOTOS AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITH THE DECISION. THEY DID SO LATER THAT DAY BUT THE DECISION WAS TO REPLACE THE DASH WHICH WOULD BE $1000.00 OF WHICH GM WOULD BE WILLING TO PICK UP HALF, SO MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE WOULD BE $500.00. I REFUSED THIS OFFER AND TOLD THE DEALER I WOULD BE CONTACTING THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO DISPUTE ME HAVING TO PAY $500.00 OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO CORRECT A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IMMEDIATELY VIA PHONE AND ASKED THAT THE ISSUE BE ELEVATED TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSON. I PROVIDED THE REPRESENTATIVE ALL THE INFORMATION SHE REQUESTED FROM ME AND SHE ASSURED ME THAT SHE WOULD ELEVATE THE ISSUE TO THE SENIOR MANAGER IN MY AREA AND THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITHIN 48 HOURS WITH A DECISION. AS OF THIS WRITING I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE.
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LIKE MANY OTHERS I HAVE A CRACKED DASHBOARD. ONE OF THEM IS A SMALL CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER MUCH LARGER ONE IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE GAUGES. I'VE ALWAYS KEPT MY DASHBOARD COVERED WHEN IT WAS PARKED WITH A COVER THAT GOES ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND USED A PRODUCT PROTECT AND KEEP THE DASHBOARD NEW. TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM IMPROPERLY PLACED SCREWS AND CLASPS OR POSSIBLY AN INFERIOR MATERIAL FOR THE DASHBOARD.
WE RECEIVED NOTICE JULY 2015. WE HAVE YET TO GET APPROVAL FOR PARTS TO GET THIS ITEM REPAIRED. WE HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO NO AVAIL! WE OUR RETIRED AND TRAVEL ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. THIS DEFECT IS CONSTANTLY ON OUR MIND. WITH THE MILES WE TRAVEL WE STAND A GREATER RISK OF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRING. WHO DO WE TURN TO? THE MEDIA?
"TAKATA RECALL"I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2015. STILL NO REMEDY YET IS UNACCEPTABLE! WHAT IS GM WAITING ON? I SUGGEST THEY BE ORDERED TO STOP PRODUCING CARS UNTIL THEY FIX THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD ALREADY. PERHAPS THAT WOULD GET THEM TO PRODUCE A REMEDY FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING SAFETY PROBLEM!
THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED DOOR LOCKS WILL ACTUATE BACK AND FORTH WITH ALL DASH LIGHTS FLASHING. EVENTUALLY CAR LOSES ALL POWER, ENGINE DIES, AND HAVE TO PULP TO SIDE OF INTERSTATE WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR PROPULSION. I WAS PERSONALLY ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI AT APPROX 60 MPH.

THIS HAS BEEN AN UNREASONABLY LONG TIME IN WAITING FOR THE REPAIR. I AM TOLD THERE IS NO FIX AND THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER IS UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COMPARABLE VEHICLE LOANER. MY REQUEST FOR A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE HAS BEEN DENIED. MY REQUESTS FOR RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR A COMPARABLE VEHICLE HAVE BEEN DENIED. I HAVE INCURRED EXPENSES AND WILL CONTINUE TO INCUR EXPENSES DUE TO THE LACK OF USE OF MY VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, I AM A U.S. VETERAN. I HAVE A VETERAN'S ADMINISTRATION CONSTRUCTION LOAN FOR MY HOUSE AND I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MEET THE DEADLINES DUE TO THE LACK OF USE OF MY CHEVROLET. I HAVE INCURRED, AND CONTINUE TO INCUR, ADDITIONAL EXPENSES TRYING TO ENSURE ALL MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT AND WORKERS ARE AT THE PROPERTY SITE."
DASHBOARD HAS 3 LARGE CRACKS THAT OCCURRED WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR TRAUMA TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKS OCCURRED. THE CRACKS OCCURRED AT THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. THE TWO SMALLER CRACKS ARE AROUND THE AIRBAG HOUSING. (SEE PICTURES)
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MISFIRED AND A SMALL TICK NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. OVER TIME, THE TICK NOISE INCREASED IN VOLUME AND BECAME MORE OF A KNOCKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CAM SHAFT, RODS, AND LIFTERS NEEDED BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. WHEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO MAKE THE TICKING NOISE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND SEVERAL OTHER WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND THE CONTACT WAS DIRECTED TO NHTSA. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.
MY DASH STARTING CRACKING AT 30K MILES. I ASSUME IT WAS JUST MY LUCK. I LOOKED UP REPLACEMENT PARTS TO FIX MY DASH, AND I STUMBLED UPON THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE... GM CHARGED US GOOD MONEY FOR OUR VEHICLES. I BOUGHT FOR BEING A SAFE VEHICLE. I'M NOT SURE IF MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY FOR MY PASSENGER AND WHERE WILL ALL THE SHREDDED DASH PLASTIC WILL HAVE TO BE PICKED OUT OF ME AND MY PASSENGERS BODIES...
DASH CRACKED AROUND AIRBAGS
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES. ONE NEAR THE STEERING WHEEL, THE OTHER ONE IS MID DASH AND THE LAST ONE IS NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I NOTICED THIS FIRST AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND LATER IT HAPPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I WOULD HATE TO KNOW THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHERE TO GO OFF THAT CHUNKS OF THE DASHBOARD MIGHT GO FLYING AND INJURE ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE.
MY DASH HAS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED WITH ME AND MY WIFE SITTING IN IT. IT WAS CRUNK AND WHEN IT HAPPENED IT WAS VERY VIOLENT CAUSING US TO WORRY THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND CAUSE INJURY TO SOMEONE.
DASH IS CRACKED AT LEFT UPPER CORNER OF AIR BAG.
MY DASH IS CRACKED ON THE LEFT SIDE OF AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENED A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. THE DASH NOW IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ON THE LEFT SIDE OF AIRBAG AND ALSO ON DRIVERSIDE OF DASH. I HAVE CONTACTED DEALER AND ALSO GENERAL MOTORS WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THIS IN 2014. I ALSO CONTACTED THEM AGAIN IN 2015, I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS THEY TOLD ME THAT I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AND I NEED TO FIX THIS OR I AM RESPONSIBLE IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYING OR A PIECE OF THE DASH INJURING SOMEONE IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY. I FEEL THIS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

THE DASHBOARD IN THE VEHICLE IS CRACKING NEXT TO MY AIRBAG. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT IS GOING TO SEND DEBRIS FLYING. THE DASHBOARD IS EXTREMELY WEAK IN THESE TRUCKS AND CHEVROLET SAYS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. THE CURRENT CRACK IN MY DASH IS APPROXIMATELY 1/8 TO 1/4 OF AN INCH DEPENDING ON TEMPERATURE. THERE IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARDS AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ IF YOU PAY THE BIG BUCKS FOR THE FIX IT WILL CRACK AGAIN EVENTUALLY.

AFTER HAVING DRIVEN VEHICLE A SHORT DISTANCE FOR AN APPOINTMENT, TRUCK WOULD NOT START AN HOUR LATER; HOWEVER, LIGHTS CAME ON DASH. I WAITED 10 SECONDS AND TRIED IT AGAIN, AND IT STARTED NO PROBLEM. THEN NO PROBLEM STARTING THE NEXT TIME BUT DRIVING AROUND TOWN THE RADIO START SHUTTING OFF FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS BEFORE COMING BACK ON. THIS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, THEN AS I AM DRIVING, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTS GOING HAYWIRE, LIGHTS FLASHING ON DASH WITH WARNING LIGHTS & MESSAGES GOING OFF ON DASH, THEN EVERYTHING BUT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF (DASH LIGHTS, GAUGES, RADIO AND A/C), AFTER ABOUT 5 SECONDS EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON. I IMMEDIATELY DRIVE TO MY MECHANIC WHO HOOKED UP THE COMPUTER TO MY TRUCK AND SAID IT WAS MY IGNITION SWITCH. HE SAID HE COULD NOT GET ME IN THAT DAY AND ASKED ME TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT DAY. SO THE REST OF THAT DAY I DID NOT HAVE ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH IT. THE NEXT DAY I TOOK IT TO MY MECHANIC AND GOT THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED. WHILE THE MECHANIC HAD MY TRUCK FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL I COULD GO BACK TO PICK IT UP, HE SAID HE STARTED IT MANY TIMES AND IT APPEARED TO BE FIXED. SO I LEAVE THE MECHANIC SHOP AND GO BACK TO WORK, THEN GET OFF WORK 2-3 HOURS LATER AND MY TRUCK WILL NOT START. AFTER ATTEMPING IT 3 TIMES, IT STARTED. I DRIVE HOME WHICH IS 10 MINUTES AWAY AND TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON. ONLY WHEN I ATTEMPT TO TURN THE TRUCK ON, IT WILL NOT START. THIS TIME NOTHING HAPPENS...NO CLICKING SOUND OR ANY ATTEMPTS OF THE ENGINE WANTING TO START....NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH LIKE BEFORE. IT WAS 2 HOURS LATER BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET JUST LIGHTS TO COME ON THE DASH, THEN ANOTHER 30 MINUTES WENT BY BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET MY TRUCK TO START. THIS IS DAY 3 OF DEALING WITH IT AND I DROVE IT TO WORK AND BACK HOME WITH NO PROBLEMS. I CALLED MECHANIC WHO SAID SOUNDS LIKE A GROUNDING PROBLEM. I SAID SOUNDS LIKE COMPUTER SYSTEM.
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES, ONE OF WHICH IS TOUCHING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACKED EDGES OF THE PLASTIC ARE SHARP AND WOULD DO SERIOUS DAMAGE TO A PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND/OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS ARE DEFECTIVE ON THIS YEAR MODEL TRUCK.

I WAS ENTERING I-75 INTERSTATE RAMP AND MOVING ALONG WITH TRAFFIC AND ABOUT 70 MPH, THE DOOR LOCKS STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN ON THERE OWN, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER NEEDLES STARTED SPORADICALLY GOING UP AND DOWN THEN THEY SHOW NO SIGNS OF ANYTHING, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE CHIME SOUND, THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON, THE TRUCK LOST A LITTLE BIT OF POWER WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE, I DID SMELL A BURNT WIRE ODOR. I HAVE REPLACED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND STILL THE PROBLEM EXISTS. THIS HAS HAPPEN TWICE BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TRUCK RAN REALLY ROUGH. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE NUMBER 8 CYLINDER HAD OIL LEAKING INTO IT WHICH I SEE NO SIGNS OF BLUE SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE AND HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT FOR 5 MONTHS NOW WITH NO PROBLEMS EXCEPT WHAT IS GOING ON NOW WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS YEAR TRUCK AND IT SEEMS TO BE A WIDE SPREAD MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN PICTURES OF THE SAME YEAR TRUCK WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT ARE DESCRIBED ABOVE AND THIS LADIES TRUCK BURNED FROM THE DASHBOARD ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT SEATS. A TOTAL LOSS.

HAVING VEHICLE WASHED A "SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING" LLUMINATED. SCHEDULED SERVICE AND DEALER DIAGNOSED FRONT IMPACT SENSOR DEFECTIVE. PART IS VISABLY DEFECTIVE WITH CRACKS AND DEFORMATION PRESENT. LOOKS TO HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FOR QUITE SOME TIME AS A LOT OF CORROSION IS PRESENT. CALLED GM CUSTOMER CARE TO INFORM THEM PART COULD HAVE BEEN DEFECTIVE FROM MANUFACTURER. THEY CLAIMED PART WAS REPLACED DUE TO WEAR. I STATED THIS WAS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A SAFTEY RELATED PART TO WEAR AT THIS VEHICLE AGE. PART # 15297468
MY FATHER EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH HIS 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO, HE HAD THE SAME SWITCH PROBLEM THAT OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR. HAVING THE TRUCK CHECKED OUT BY A GMC DEALER HE WAS TOLD HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT CORRECTED AS IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THEY TOLD HIM TO USE ONLY THE KEY AND BE SURE NOTHING ELSE IS ATTACHED TO THE KEY. THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL STATED ABOUT THE OTHER VEHICLES THAT ARE ON THE RECALL LIST. HIS PROBLEM IS THE SAME AS THOSE VEHICLES. SO WHY NO RECALL ON HIS VEHICLE?
THERE WAS AN EXPLOSION AND SEAT BELTS TIGHTENED UP,THE DEPLOYER FOR AIR BAGS WENT OFF, LUCKILY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T GO OFF OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I COMPLAINED TO GM BECAUSE THERE WAS A CALL BACK IN 2010 OF FAULTY SENSORS GETTING CORRODED BECAUSE THEY ARE LOCATED IN A DAMP AREA. GM STATED THAT THEY WERE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE IT WAS OVER FIVE YEARS OLD AND OVER 100,000 MILES. BUT MY CONCERN IS HOW DANGEROUS THIS IS WHEN YOU ARE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THEY GO OFF CAUSING A ACCIDENT. I WANT GM TO PAY FOR REPAIRS SO THAT I CAN HAVE SEAT BELTS AGAIN BUT THEY CLAIM NO RESPONSIBILITY AND WANT ME TO PAY $1200.00 TO $1500.00 TO HAVE SEAT BELTS AND AIR BAGS AGAIN. *TR
WHEN LOCKS ARE ACTIVATED WITH KEY FOB, DOORS CAN NOT BE UNLOCKED WITHOUT USING KEY FOB. A PERSON COULD BE TRAPPED INSIDE THE VEHICLE. CHEVROLET DEALERS DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS.
TO DATE I ONLY HAVE 60KMI. ON MY 2008 SILVERADO. ITS IMMACULETLY MAINTAINED. SO FAR BOTH AIRBAG SENSORS HAVE GONE BAD AND I'VE LOST CRUISE CONTROLL. IVE ALSO LOST THE DRIVER SIDE SPEAKER FUNCTIONALITY.

DESIGN FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. SET OF THREE COOLING LINES FAILING AT CRIMPED JOINT BETWEEN SOLID LINE AND FLEXIBLE LINE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE DUE TO DESIGN, LOW TO MEDIUM PRESSURE LINES BEING USED IN A HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM.

THE DASH IS NOW SEPARATED INTO TWO PIECES. THE DEALER EXPLAINED MY WARRANTY EXCLUDED TRIM AND COULD NOT WARRANTY THE PART. NO ACCIDENT OR TRAUMA WAS THE CAUSE. GENERAL MOTORS WAS NOTIFIED AND THEY WERE NOT ANY HELP IN THIS MATTER. I NOW FEAR SHARP PLASTIC WILL BE EXPELLED IN THE CAB IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED.
ALL FOUR DOORS WOULD NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK BY PRESSING THE LOCK BUTTON ON EITHER FRONT DOORS OR BY USING THE REMOTE WHEN STOPPED. IT SCARES ME AS A PARENT OF A SEVEN YEAR OLD THAT THE DOORS MAY NOT LOCK WHEN NEEDED AND MY CHILD COULD ACCIDENTALLY OPEN THE DOOR WHEN DRIVING ANYWHERE AT ANY SPEED. FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT WHAT IF THE DOORS COULDN'T UNLOCK BY BUTTON OR MANUALLY OR LOCK TO KEEP PASSENGERS IN WHILE DRIVING. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT REALLY NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY GM AND AN ACTION TAKEN INTO AFFECT TO CORRECT THIS FAULTY ISSUE OR PARTS. *TR
I ORDERED A MEVOTECH CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT ASSEMBLY FROM AN ONLINE DEALER 6 MONTHS AGO. THE BALL JOINT FAILED AND SHEARED IN HALF CAUSING A GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE.

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT THAT AIRBAG NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. HAD THE PROBLEM TRACED AT A DEALER AND FOUND THAT IT IS THE AIRBAG SENSING UNIT ON THE PASSENGER FRONT BEHIND THE BUMPER WHICH IS DEFECTIVE / RUSTED AND NOT WORKING. WAS ALSO TOLD BY NOT HAVING THIS FIXED MY AIR BAGS WOULD NOT WORK SINCE THE SYSTEM IS SOMEHOW TIED TOGETHER WITH THE OTHER SENSORS. COST TO HAVE FIXED IS $250 FOR A SWITCH INSTALL / SENSOR INSTALL ! I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF OTHER VEHICLES, SAME YEAR WITH THIS SAME ISSUE !
I WAS COMING HOME FROM A TRIP AND AS I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY I HEARD THIS LOUD BANG AND METAL FLYING AND HITTING THE GROUND. I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF TO INVESTIGATE AND FOUND UNDER MY TRUCK A 25-INCH PIECE OF METAL BELONGING TO THE SUSPENSION - LEAF SPRING SYSTEM THAT COULD BE CLEARLY SEEN AS RUSTED THROUGH. I AM VERY FORTUNATE FOR THIS TO OCCUR IN MY DRIVEWAY AND NOT ON THE HIGHWAY, LOSS OF CONTROL TO THE VEHICLE OR SOMEONE BEHIND MY VEHICLE GETTING HIT BY THIS HEAVY PIECE OF METAL WAS A GOOD POSSIBILITY ! I CALLED A COUPLE OF DEALERS TO GET THIS REPLACED AND FOUND ONE THAT COULD TAKE ME IN RIGHT AWAY. THERE CONCLUSION WAS THE LEAF SPRING HAD RUSTED AND I STILL HAVE IN MY POSSESSION THE PIECE THAT RUSTED AND CAME OFF. THE TOTAL COST OF THIS REPLACEMENT FOR BOTH LEAF SPRINGS BEING REPLACED WAS $951.83 I AM BRINGING THIS TO YOUR ATTENTION BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF A VERY SIMILAR RECALL WITH TOYOTA TRUCKS YEARS 1995-2011 FOR LEAF SPRING FAILURE DO TO RUSTING ! I JUST USE THIS VEHICLE FOR MY DAILY DRIVER, NO HEAVY LIFTING OR HAULING JUST 12- MILES A DAY 7 DAYS A WEEK AND SOME TRIPS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. TRUCK ONLY HAD 53000 MILES AT TIME OF INCIDENT. *TR
WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE VEHICLE STARTED MAKING NOISES AND SHAKING. WE TOOK IT TO THE SHOP TO FIND OUT THE ISSUE WAS CAUSED BY THE LIFTERS WHICH ARE BEING HOUSED BY PLASTIC. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC LIFTERS SHOULD BE HELD BY METAL NOT PLASTIC DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE REQUIREMENT ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE. USING PLASTIC TO HOUSE THE LIFTERS IS A BOUND ISSUE. OTHER PARTS AFFECTED OR THAT HAD TO BE CHANGED DUE TO THIS ISSUE (CAM, HEAD SET, GUIDES, TIMER, SET WIRE, SET HEAD, COOLANT, OIL AND FILTER). IT COST US $3,911.04 TO GET THE TRUCK FIXED SINCE THE ENGINE BASICALLY HAD TO BE REMOVED TO GET TO THE LIFTERS. THIS SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF THE LIFTERS WERE STABILIZED IN THE CORRECT TYPE OF MATERIAL. WE FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE MADE FOR THIS ISSUE AND WE SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. *TR
MY DASH HAS CRACKS NEAR THE AIRBAG AND I HAVE A CONCERN WITH SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. *TR
I STOPPED AT A STORE ON MY WAY HOME LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT, IT MADE A NOISE LIKE IT WOULD IF YOU TURNED THE KEY AND THE ENGINE WAS ALREADY RUNNING. I HAD THE SAME RESPONSE FROM STARTING IT THIS MORNING AFTER IT SAT IN MY GARAGE ALL NIGHT. THE TRUCK HAS ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT AND GETS REGULAR MAINTENANCE...I'D HATE TO THINK I'VE GOT TO REPLACE THE STARTER ALREADY. IN THE LAST TWO MONTHS I'VE HAD TO DEAL WITH THE "CHECK ENGINE / GAS CAP" THING AND REPLACED THE IMPACT SENSOR FOR THE AIR BAG. EVERY WEEK I GET CLOSER TO TRADING IN FOR A NEW FORD. *TR

I HAVE TWO VEHICLES THAT DID THE EXACT SAME THING IN THE EXACT LOCATION ABOUT 2 WEEKS APART. I HAVE A 2009 GMC YUKON AND A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING, WE HEARD A LOUD POP. AFTER INVESTIGATING WHAT HAD HAPPENED WE NOTICED THE DASH BOARD WAS CRACKED OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENED IN THE YUKON 1ST THEN 2 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED IN THE TRUCK. SAME CRACK, SAME LOUD POP, SAME LOCATION ON THE DASHBOARD. FEARING THAT THE AIRBAG WILL COME OUT AT ANY MOMENT, I CALLED PREMIER CHEVROLET IN BESSEMER ALABAMA. THEY SAID THIS WAS NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY NOR ANY RECALL. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED, "THAT SUCKS FOR YOU". THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT I FEEL I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. HOW IN THE WORLD CAN A AIRBAG POPPING THE DASHBOARD IN TWO OF MY VEHICLES BE A CUSTOMER PROBLEM? IF THIS AIRBAG FULLY DEPLOYS AND INJURES OR KILLS ONE OF MY KIDS THEN WHAT? THIS HAS TO BE A GM RECALL. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. PLEASE CALL ME ANYTIME FOR FURTHER DETAILS. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED FROM NEW APROX 800-1500 MILES UP TO TODAY 10/2014 AT ABOUT 90,00 MILES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK????????? I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CHEVY MAN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!! BUT THIS IS MAKING ME THINK OTHERWISE AND I PLAN TO TELL EVERYONE I POSSIBLY CAN TO AVOID THIS BRAND IF THIS PROBLEM IS CONTINUED TO BE IGNORED!!! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND FIX THE PROBLEM G.M. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH A RESOLUTION A ! S! A! P! I PLAN TO PURCHASE A NEW TRUCK IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS, BUT IT WILL NOT BE A G.M. PRODUCT IF THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO BE IGNORED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED WITH ABOUT 66,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND I FOUND AN EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CODE STORED. I CLEARED THE CODE AND WENT ABOUT MY BUSINESS. NOT LONG AFTER, I WENT TO FILL THE TRUCK WITH FUEL AND GASOLINE SPILLED OUT FROM THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK WITHOUT COMING UP THE FILLING NECK. WHEN I GOT AROUND TO TAKING THE TANK OFF THE TRUNK TO LOOK FOR THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THE TOP PLATE OF THE FUEL SENDING UNIT HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND LEFT AN APPROXIMATE 1" X 1/2" HOLE WHERE FUEL AND VAPOR WAS ABLE TO ESCAPE. AS FAR AS I KNOW, THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL SENDING UNIT FOR THE VEHICLE. I AM REPLACING THE UNIT WITH A DELPHI SENDING UNIT WITH A PLASTIC TOP; HOPING THAT THIS WILL PREVENT FUTURE LEAKS OF THIS NATURE. *TR
SINCE AUGUST I HAVE NOTICED APPROXIMATELY 5-6 INCIDENCES WHEN THERE WAS A BRIEF FAILURE IN THE IGNITION OF THE TRUCK CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO TURN THE IGNITION KEY A SECOND TIME. IT HAS STARTED CORRECTLY ON THE 2ND TRY, SO FAR. HOWEVER, EACH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED, I'VE NOTICED THAT THE CLOCK WENT BACK TO DEFAULT. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME NOR DOES THERE APPEAR TO BE A PATTERN FOR WHEN IT HAPPENS SUCH AS DRIVING A SHORT DISTANCE, A LONG DISTANCE OR THE FIRST START UP OF THE DAY, ETC. I'M NOT GETTING ANY MALFUNCTION WARNINGS. THE VEHICLE IS UP TO DATE ON INSPECTIONS AND MAINTENANCE. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH AN AFTER FACTORY ELECTRIC BRAKE UNIT. I AM THE 2ND OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS NOR HAS IT HAD ANY OTHER MALFUNCTIONS. *TR
THE FRONT AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR HAS FAILED. THE HOUSING HAS CRACKED AND THE BOLT THAT SECURES IT IS CORRODED. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL OF TRUCK. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL CAUSE MY AIRBAG TO DEPLOY UNABATED. GM HAS NOT ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS PART AS OF YET, BUT THIS IS IN MY OPINION A SERIOUS MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN DESIGN OF THIS PART. I REFUSE TO PAY THE NEAREST GM DEALER $350 TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE RESTRAINT SYSTEM PART. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,800.
SERVICE AIR BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSORS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE ARE KNOWN FOR GOING BAD. THE OEM PART CRACKS AND CAUSES FAILURE AND LOSS OF THE AIR BAG FUNCTION. ALSO WITH RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO IMPROVE OR FIX THIS PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD CONDUCT A SAFETY RECALL ON THESE SENSORS SO THEIR PRODUCT DOES NOT FAIL AND THE PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE STAY PROTECTED. *TR
TIRE TREAD IS DETERIORATING, CHUNKS OF TREAD IS FLAKING AND FALLING OFF TIRE. FOUND A SECTION OF TREAD ON SECOND AND THIRD LINE OF TREAD THAT IS STARTING TO SEPARATE FROM TIRE.

FIRESTONE TIRE P245/70R17 108S M+ S DESTINATION LE FOR YOUR INFORMATION WHILE DRIVING THE INSIDE LANE OF I-20 HERE IN ALABAMA AUGUST 23, 2014 AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MILES AN HOUR WHEN MY RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND GET OFF THE INTERSTATE. THE TIRE BLEW OUT JUST BELOW THE THREAD, OUTSIDE WALL. HOLE IS APPROXIMATELY THE SIZES OF A TWENTY FIVE CENT PIECE. I HAD AN EXPERIENCE TIRE PROFESSIONAL LOOK AT THE TIRE; HE SAID THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT BLEW. THE OTHER THREE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE FIRESTONES IDENTICAL TO THIS ONE. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF DRIVING THE AUTO WITH THESE TIRES? THE TIRE IS ON A 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUP THAT IS DRIVEN FOR PLEASURE. (NOT A WORK TRUCK) LESS THAT 10,000 MILES A YEAR. ALL FOUR ORIGINAL TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH FIRESTONES P245/70R17 108S. I WOULD ESTIMATE THESE TIRES TO HAVE LESS THAN 20,000 MILES ON THEM. *TR
WITHIN TWO MONTHS OF PURCHASING MY BRAND NEW SILVERADO, I NOTICED THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS PERSISTED. MY VEHICLE NOW HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT, AND IT HAPPENS EVEN MORE FREQUENTLY. I'VE BROUGH THIS PROBLEM UP TO CHEVY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AND THEY HAVE ALWAYS TOLD ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE WHEN IT'S DOING THIS, BUT WITHIN 30 MINUTES OF OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF. MANY TIMES WHEN I START MY VEHICLE, THE "STABILITRACK", AND "ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM" WARNING LIGHTS COME ON. THERE'S NORMALLY A CLICK/THUD WHEN I START THE VEHICLE, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE WARNING LIGHTS COMING ON. WHEN IT DOES THIS, A LOT OF TIMES THE VEHICLE WON'T EVEN SHIFT INTO GEAR FOR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. IT'S MY BELIEF THAT WHEN THESE LIGHTS ARE ON, THESE ITEMS AREN'T WORKING. I'VE DRIVEN UP TO 45 MINUTES WITH BOTH LIGHTS BEING ON. THEY WILL USUALLY STAY ON UNTIL I'VE OPERATED THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES, AND THEN TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. AFTER I'VE DONE SO, AND THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, THE LIGHTS WILL USUALLY GO OFF. THESE ARE BOTH VERY IMPOTANT SAFETY FEATURES. I'VE GONE ON NUMEROUS GM THREADS AND FOUND THAT HUNDREDS OF SILVERADO OWNERS FROM 2007 UP UNTIL TODAY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE ISSUE AND NOBODY EVER DOES ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THE OWNERS WHO DID GET GM TO ACTUALLY TURN A WRENCH IN EFFORTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM ALL SAY IT ULTIMATELY RETURNED. THE VEHICLE NOT GOING INTO GEAR IS SOMETHING THAT RECENTLY STARTED HAPPENING WITH THE PROBLEM. IF I START THE TRUCK AND THE WARNING LIGHTS AREN'T ON, THE VEHICLE OPERATES FINE, HOWEVER, IF I START THE VEHICLE AND THE WARNING LIGHTS ARE ON, IT USUALLY TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES TO GET THE VEHICLE IN GEAR. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STARTING THE VEHICLE, A LOUD TICKING NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE CONSUMED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF OIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THEY RECOMMENDED THAT THE ENGINE BE REBUILT. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,000.
2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500, AIRBAG SENSOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH OUT ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT. WE CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD US TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER. WE TOOK TO THE DEALER WE BOUGHT THE TRUCK FROM NEW. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND IT CAME BACK EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SENSOR AND INFLATABLE RESTRAINT FRONT SENSOR WERE BAD. AS A SAFETY/EMISSIONS PROBLEM IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY GAVE US A $600 BILL IN WHICH WE MADE THEM CALL THE GM REPRESENTATIVE. THEY THEN HAD US PAY $250. 2 1/2 YEARS LATER AND AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT IS BACK ON WITHOUT ACCIDENT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A BIG COMPLAINT WITH THIS YEAR TRUCK. IT SEEMS THAT IF THE SENSOR IS NOT WORKING AND MY FAMILY WERE TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY AND WE COULD BE HURT OR KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THE AIR BAG SENSORS. *TR
MY DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS IN IT AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED THAT THE DEFECTED DASH WILL BECOME SHARP PROJECTILES AND CAUSE UNDUE INJURY TO ME OR MY PASSENGER. I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHERS WITH SAME PROBLEM AND IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN TO ME. *TR
AIR BAG WARNING DASH LIGHT CAME ON AND WAS DIRECTED TO HAVE AIR BAG CHECKED. BOTH FRONT BUMPER CRASH SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. PART # AD7468XJU9VY AND AD7468XJU9WW AT A COST OF $426.50. *TR
I GET THE "SERVICE AIR BAG" WARNING LIGHT. THE AIR BAGS HAVE ALREADY GONE OUT AND WILL NOT DEPLOY AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ON. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN TAKEN VERY GOOD CARE OF AND DRIVEN VERY FEW MILES, BUT YET THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON AFTER THE DEAL HAD ALREADY MADE A SERVICE BULLETIN REPAIR TO THE SYSTEM. THE DEALER (GASTORF IN WARRENTON, MO) WILL NOT REPAIR IT WITHOUT PAYING UP TO ABOUT $500 (APPROX. MAXIMUM COST), WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO CONSIDER REPAIRING. I BELIEVE AIR BAG ITEMS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT "JUST BREAK" FOR NO REASON. *TR
THE FRONT SPEAKERS AND ONE OF THE EXTENDED CAB DOORS SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK.CAN NOT HEAR THE WARNING CHIME. SOMETIMES WHEN THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AWHILE THE SPEAKERS IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE STARTS TO WORK. AS OF 07/11/14 THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR SPEAKERS DOESN'T WORK UNLESS THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR AWHILE.. I'VE CONTACTED GM SEVERAL TIMES ON THIS ISSUE AND GET THE SAME RESPONSE, THEY CAN NOT HELP ME WITHOUT PAYING THEM A FEE.... I TELL THEM WHAT IS HAPPENING AND THEY DON'T CARE. I SENT AN EMAIL TO THEM ON 07/12/14 AND HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM YET. I AFRAID THAT THE TRUCK IS GOING CATCH ON FIRE OR SHUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING OR WHEN MY WIFE IS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE TRUCK. *TR

I REVERSED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY INTO A TWO LANE ROAD. I PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT MOVE. I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO A GM DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THE SPRAG CLUTCH FAILED AND SENT METAL PIECES THROUGH THE REST OF THE TRANSMISSION TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS UNREPAIRABLE. THEY PUT A WHOLE NEW TRANSMISSION IN. THEN THEY DISCOVERED THE TRUCK WOULD STILL NOT MOVE. THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS LOCKED UP TOO AND NEEDED TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT. I ENDED UP PAYING $4,765.89 TO REPAIR A 2008 TRUCK WITH 89,437 MILES ON IT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT FROM ONE OF MY HANKOOK TIRES MODEL DYNAPRO AS TIRES. SEVERE BODY DAMAGE ALL ALONG THE LEFT SIDE OF MY TRUCK WAS THE RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT, AS I WAS PULLED INTO A CONCRETE MEDIAN BARRIER. *TR
WHEN APPLYING BRAKES GOING DOWN A MOUNTAINS, THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING, IT SEEMED LIKE THE FRONT END WAS FALLING OUT. .I HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED OUT, THE FIRST TIME GM HAD THE ROTARS TURNED THEY SAID THEY WERE WARPED. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I TRAVEL TO TN OR VA OR WEST VA. THESE LAST 2 TIMES I HAD IT FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. I FINALLY HAD NEW ROTARS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE . I MADE A TRIP TO FL . AND HAD TO GO THROUGH TN , WHICH IS UP AND DOWN MOUNTAINS. ;AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THE BRAKES. IT WAS 1 YEAR OLD THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS TAKEN TO GM DEALER THE FIRST 2 TIMES. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 63000 MILES ON IT. AND THE ONLY THING IN THE TRUCK IS MY WIFE AND I AND THE DOG AND OUR CLOTHES. *JS
VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, WAITING TO ENTER ROAD, DASHBOARD LIT UP LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE AND SMOKE STARTED POURING FROM UNDER THE HOOD. TURNED VEHICLE OFF, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND IT WAS TAKEN TO OUR MECHANIC. THE SEALED INTERNAL FUSE BOX AND WIRING HARNESS CONECTIONS HAD CAUGHT FIRE AND BURNED, DAMAGING THE MAIN FUSE PANEL THAT COSTS $450 TO REPLACE AND THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS CONNECTED TO THE FUSE BOX. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FILED BY OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS FOR THE SAME REASON BUT THEIR VEHICLES COMPLETELY BURNED TO THE GROUND. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO INJURED OR KILLED BY THIS BEFORE THERE IS A RECALL? PLEASE HELP! *TR
RUBBER BOOT ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BOTH RIPPED AND AXLE SEAL LEAKING ON PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
THE CAB TO OPERATOR COMMUNICATION STARTED SLOWLY DIMINISHING. EVENTUALLY ALL AUDIBLE BEEPS, DINGS AND MUSIC ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE CAB WERE SHUTOFF. THE SPEED CONTROL CRUISE WAS NOT ACTIVATION, BUT THE BUTTON WOULD LIGHT UP. CURRENTLY THE LEFT SIDE OF THE TRUCK, IN THE CAB, IS OUT OF POWER. I AM CONCERNED, DOES THIS AFFECT THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TOO? THE TRUCK DOES A SELF DIAGNOSTICS MONTHLY AND NO ISSUES WERE NOTED, BUT THEY WERE OBVIOUS ISSUES THAT A DIAGNOSTIC SHOULD HAVE PICKED UP A NOTABLE CHANGE. THE LIGHTING ISSUE I EXPERIENCED WERE WITH EACH TAILLIGHT. I WOULD RANDOMLY BLOW TAIL LIGHT BULBS. A CLOSER LOOK SHOWED CORROSION AND OBVIOUS SHORTING, BUT NO FUSE WAS FAULTED. BULB WAS BURNED AT THE CONNECTORS. FURTHER REVIEW IT WAS NOTICED THAT EACH TAIL LIGHT HAD WATER IN THE BOTTOM. TRAVELING CAUSED THE WATER TO SHORT OUT AND DAMAGE THE BULB, LEAVING ME WITH NO REAR LIGHTING RANDOMLY. I HAVE SINCE DRILLED HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF EACH TAIL LIGHT AS THERE IS NOT WAY TO REMOVE THE MOISTURE. I HAVE ALSO INSPECTED THE BULB SEALS AND FIND THEY ARE FIRMLY PRESSING ON TO THE SEALING SURFACES, WHICH ARE CLEAN AND FREE FROM ROAD DUST AND GRIME...PLUS THEY ARE HIDDEN INSIDE THE BODY OF THE TRUCK. IN SUMMARY, I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE SOME LEVEL OF DETAIL REGARDING THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE, FOCUSING ON HOW IT CAN BE REPAIRED. REGARDING THE LIGHTING, THIS IS CONCERNING AND SHOULD BE A CONSIDERATION FOR RISK ASSESSMENT DURING DESIGN. *JS
THE VEHICLE HAS A TRAILER BRAKE ISSUE, THE TRAILER BRAKE INTERMITTENTLY GIVES YOU A MESSAGE SAYING SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE AND YOU LOOSE BRAKE SYSTEM CONNECTION AND THE TRAILER BRAKES DO NOT WORK, GM HAS BEEN AWARE OF THE ISSUE SINCE 2007 BUT CANNOT AND WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUE, THEY USE TEMPORARY FIXES THAT LAST 5-12 MONTHS AND THEN WHEN YOU ARE OUT OF WARRANTY THEY WILL KEEP CHARGING YOU AND DO NOT FIX THE ISSUE, THE TRAILER BRAKE MESSAGE COMES UP EVEN WHEN THERE IS NO TRAILER CONNECTED, GM CLAIMS IT A SHORT, MODULE, YOUR EQUIPMENT, WATER, THE PLUG, THERE ENGINEERS DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FIX IT, I HAVE TRIED ALL RESOURCES AND STILL HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. I PERSONALLY HAVE SPENT OVER 5000.00 AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM SOME ONE NEEDS TO ADDRESS GM ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR THERE IS A MAJOR CRASH BECAUSE YOU LOOSE THE BRAKE AND CANNOT STOP THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE TRAILER BRAKES DON'T WORK DUE TO THE MANUFACTURES DEFECT IN THERE WIRE HARNESS OR TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED IN THE IGNITION UNTIL AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING OVER A THREE YEAR SPAN. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 14V047000 (AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE MODEL WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

I HAVE OWNED MY 2008 SUBURBAN FOR 6 YEARS. THE DASH BOARD IS COMPLETELY BROKEN IN DIFFERENT PARTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AT 5 YEARS CAN POSSIBLE HAVE THE DASH BOARD BREAK LIKE THAT. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED CHEVROLET BUT WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AS TO HOW THE DASH BOARD IS BROKEN THE WAY IT IS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEEK HELP REPLACING IT SINCE I PLAN TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE FOR A LONG TIME. MY TEENAGE GIRLS WILL BE GETTING THERE VEHICLE IN A YEAR I HAVE TOLD MY HUSBAND THERE IS NO WAY I WILL EVERY BUY CHEVROLET AGAIN. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, ALMA CARDENAS. *TR
WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRACTION STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH BRAKE LIGHT. THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATED AND ALL DASH BACKLIGHTING WENT OUT. AFTER SHUTTING OFF ENGINE, ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHUT OFF TO INCLUDE THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO. I CHECKED BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND AFTER WIGGLING THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE, THE POWER CAME ON. THE CLOCK WAS SET TO 12:00, AND THE A/C WAS RESET TO 74. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT. AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS, MY TRUCK ACTUALLY STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE ROAD TO ADJUST THE BATTERY CABLE. I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 20 INCIDENTS OF SIMILAR NATURE, EACH TIME WITH INCREASING SYMPTOMS. AT ONE POINT, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE A/C OVERHEATING CAME ON. ALSO, THE BATTERY AND CABLES BECOME EXTREMELY HOT, AND STAY HOT AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL THE CABLE IS READJUSTED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION, AND HAVE CONCLUDED THE MOST LIKELY SOURCE IS A FAILING POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE. IN THE FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THE CABLE WAS REDESIGNED IN 2007, AND HAS AFFECTED ALL VEHICLES THROUGH 2013. THIS POSES A THREAT TO OVERHEATING BATTERY CONNECTIONS WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, AND THREAT OF A VEHICLE COLLISION. *TR
FLEET USER OF THE 1500 CHEVY PICKUP TRUCKS. ISSUE REPORTED, HEAD LIGHT OUT. DIAGNOSES SHOWED BURNT WIRES ON THE HEAD LIGHT PLUG TO BULB CONNECTER.

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK/UNLOCK. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 70 MPH. THIS IS ALSO A SECURITY ISSUE. I CAN LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB ONLY TO LEARN THAT THE REAR DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. IF I LOCK IT MANUALLY, THEN IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY FOB.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB BACK IN 20011. IT HAD APPROX. 70,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. A FEW MONTHS AGO I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I COULD LOCK THE DOORS BUT NOT UNLOCK THEM. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, MY DRIVERS SIDE SPEAKER WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I AM ALSO UNABLE TO MOVE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS IN ALL DIRECTIONS WHEN THEY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO HAS RECENTLY STARTED WORKING OFF AND ON. MY PASSENGER SIDE SPEAKER HAS JUST RECENTLY STARTED GOING IN AND OUT. MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL WORKS BUT DOESN'T MAKE ANY NOISE WHEN IT IS TURNED ON. *TR

LOST BRAKES, TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH STABILITRAK, AND TRACTION LIGHT. VEHICLE LOST ACCELERATION AND DID NOT HAVE ABILITY OF POWER. SOUNDED LIKE SPARK PLUGS MISS FIRING. BRAKES BECAME DISABLED AND WHERE GRINDING. (NEW BRAKES) HAD TO PUSH MY TRUCK OFF ROAD AS IT HAD NO PRESSURE TO DRIVE. MECHANICS THINK IT IS THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR. WILL SEE. *TR
THERE WAS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING. WHILE LOOKING FOR THE SOURCE, I NOTICED FUEL SPRAYING OUT UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE THAT WAS LEAKING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A DEIGN FLAW, A DEFECT IN THE PART OR POOR WORKMANSHIP, BUT IT COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IF THE FUEL HAD IGNITED, WHICH WAS POSSIBLE WITH THE PRESSURE AND VOLUME OF THE LEAK. IT WAS REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE DUE TO IT BEING A "SAFETY FACTOR". THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEN IN EXTREME CONDITIONS. I HAD NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING, AND CANNOT THINK OF ANY REASON FOR THE FUEL LINE TO RUPTURE. *TR

ON OUR 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LT 4X4 Z71, THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED SO BADLY WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS, THAT IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, PLASTIC SHRAPNEL IS GOING TO GO FLYING, WHICH COULD INJURE OR POSSIBLY KILL SOMEONE. ON THE FLIPSIDE; THE AIRBAG MAY NOT EVEN DEPLOY DUE TO THE DAMAGED DASHBOARD. IN EITHER CASE, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE, DESPITE NOW THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS TAHOES, SUBURBANS, AND (ALL CHEVY & GMC TRUCKS & SUV'S 2007 AND NEWER) HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS TO CHEVY AND GM, AND THEM BEING EXTREMELY RUDE AND IN DENIAL; THE BEST THEY CAN DO IS TO REPLACE THE DASH FOR A PRICE OF $200-500, WHICH WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR, AS GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES AFTER CHARGING THE PRICES THEY DO. IN THE MEANTIME, WE DON'T FEEL SAFE EVEN DRIVING OUR TRUCK DOWN THE STREET. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE AN URGENT RECALL, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! THERE ARE MESSAGE BOARDS, FACEBOOK PAGES, AND TWITTER ACCOUNTS ALL SET UP JUST FOR FRUSTRATED CHEVY & GMC CUSTOMERS HAVING THE CRACKED DASHBOARD AND AIRBAG ISSUE, SO PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM, NHTSA. SINCE GM REFUSES TO HELP IT'S THOUSANDS OF SCARED CUSTOMERS, WE PRAY YOU WILL HELP TO STOP THIS MADNESS. *TR
THERE IS A LARGE CRACK ON THE FRONT LEFT SIDE OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM AFRAID THAT IF THE AIRBAG HAS TO DEPLOY THAT IT WILL SEND PLASTIC SHARDS IN THE AIR AT A HIGH VELOCITY.

GM IS GIVING ME GRIEF OVER TAKING CARE OF THE $3000.00 REPAIR BILL. THEY ARE OFFERING ONLY $1800.00, BUT A MATERIALS DEFECT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. TRUCK ONLY HAS 63000 + MILES ON IT.

KIDS WERE ABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS AN APPARENT SAFETY PROBLEM AND AFTER READING NUMEROUS OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM OCCURRING, IT IS SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF/RECALLED.

DRIVER AND REAR PASSENGER LOCKS DO NOT WORK. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME NOW THAT THESE DONT WORK. FIRST IT WAS THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE, NOW ITS THE SAME SIDE BUT REAR DOOR.

ALSO, I HAVE A GRANDSON WHO RIDES WITH ME OCCASIONALLY, AND IF EMERGENCY OCCURRED, I FEAR HE COULD BE TRAPPED AS I WOULD HAVE TO INSERT KEY TO UNLOCK DRIVER DOOR OR WORSE. THE REAR DOOR HAS NO WAY TO INSERT ANY KEY INTO DOOR. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO SAVE MY CHILD IF I CAN'T EVEN OPEN IT.

THE YOKE IS NOT COVER BY THE DRIVETRAIN WARRANTY. EVEN THOUGH THE YOKE IS THE WRONG ONE,BECAUSE THEY WILL REPLACE IT WITH A NICKEL PLATED YORK AND THEN THE PROBLEM IS SOLVE. THE YORK IS THE PART THAT COMES OUT OF THE TRANSMISSION AND HOOKS TO THE DRIVESHAFT. IF THE YOKE GRABS AND BREAKS THE REAR OF THE TRANNY, THE DRIVESHAFT WILL DROP OUT AND HIT THE GROUND.

DOORS DO NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN ALARMING OR UNALARMING TRUCK. IT OCCURS DAILY AND NOT SURE HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON. I HAPPENED TO GET OUT OF MY TRUCK AND OPEN THE BACK DOOR WHICH WOULD NOT OPEN. WITH FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I REALIZED THAT THE LOCK WAS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE NO IDEA THAT THIS IS HAPPENING? I HAVE ALARMED MY VEHICLE, THEN CHECKED THE BACK DOOR TO SEE IF IT LOCKED WITH THE ALARM GOING OFF, BECAUSE THE LOCK HAD FAILED! I WONDER HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY CHECK TO SEE IF THEIR TRUCK LOCKED AND ALARMED PROPERLY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND IT'LL COST $100 FOR THEM TO JUST LOOK AT IT BECAUSE IT IS PAST THE 3 YR. WARRANTY. I THINK THIS IS UNFAIR. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 2000-4000 MILES AFTER THE WARRANTY TERM (BUT STILL WELL UNDER THE 36 MONTH LIMIT) I BEGAN TO NOTICE MY POWER LOCKS WEREN'T WORKING CORRECTLY. WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER, THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME THAT THAT WAS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. AFTER DETERMINING I WAS OVER WARRANTY MILEAGE LIMIT, HE SAID ALL HE COULD DO IS MAYBE "HELP ME OUT" ON THE REPAIR COSTS. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HOW THE MANUFACTURER HASN'T BEEN MORE PROACTIVE IN CORRECTING THIS PROBLEM SINCE, FROM WHAT MY RESEARCH HAS REVEALED, IT IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. I WOULD THINK THAT CHEVROLET WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND VEHICLES. *TT

PLUS IF THE FRONT ONE GETS WORSE IT COULD HAPPEN TO THEM ALSO. HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DEALERS IN THE PORTLAND OR. VANCOUVER WA AREA, THEY WON'T STAND BEHIND IT AND NEITHER WILL CHEVROLET.

I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH THE VORTEC MAX PACKAGE IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008. SINCE NEW, THE VEHICLE HAS IDLED ROUGH AND SURGED AT STOPS. IT FEELS LIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE HAS BUMPED YOU FROM BEHIND. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN NUMEROUS TIMES TO BE INSPECTED UNDER WARRANTY. GENERAL MOTORS CAME OUT WITH A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN STATING THAT IF THE VEHICLE HAS A ROUGH IDLE WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. THE ROUGH IDLE CAUSES THE VEHICLES RPM'S TO SPIKE LEADING TO THE SURGE CONDITION. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES UNDER THE EXISTING WARRANTY AND GENERAL MOTORS HAS NOT TAKEN ACTION STATING IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC. THERE ARE MANY OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THAT DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC. ANY VEHICLE THAT FEELS LIKE IT WAS BUMPED FROM BEHIND IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN. I AM SCHEDULED FOR AN ARBITRATION HEARING ON JULY 11, 2011 WITH THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND GENERAL MOTORS TO DISCUSS THE PROBLEM. THE IDLE/SURGE PROBLEM HAPPENS SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK. MY WIFE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING THE SILVERADO AND IMMEDIATELY CALLED ME ASKING WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I ENCOURAGE ALL OTHER GENERAL MOTORS CUSTOMERS EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM TO CONTACT GENERAL MOTORS, THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AND THE NHTSA. *TR
SAFETY RECALL 10153. THE SOLUTIONS OFFERED BY GM IS INADEQUATE.

THE HEATED WASHER FLUID OPTION IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE 3. THE HEATED WASHER FLUID SYSTEM SHOULD BE REPAIRED, NOT DISCONNECTED.

OF SKID MARKS THEN RIGHT FRONT WHEEL HIT SHOULDER OF ROAD AND VEHICLE WENT END OVER END LANDING IN DITCH ON ITS TOP. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THERE I WAS NO RECORDED INCIDENCE ON THE DATA RECORDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE CO. MY CONCERN IS THAT THIS VEHICLE COULD BE REBUILT AND PUT BACK ON THE ROAD AS DRIVABLE VEHICLE SINCE IT HAD ONLY 13,000 MILES ON IT. IF NO CAUSE FOR THE MALFUNCTION CAN BE DETERMINED THERE IS A DISTINCT POSSIBILITY THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITH POSSIBLE LOSS OF LIFE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER SENT AN INVESTIGATOR TO INSPECT THE DEPLOYMENT AND DETERMINED THAT THE STM MODULE WAS CORRODED AND PROVIDED AN INCORRECT SIGNAL TO THE AIR BAGS WHICH CAUSED THE DEPLOYMENT. THE MANUFACTURER DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER A RECALL RELATED TO THE AIR BAGS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

I OWN A 2008 SILVERADO THAT I BOUGHT NEW BEFORE THE BAILOUT AND EVERYTHING AT CHEVY WAS BEING GIVEN AWAY. MY PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND SEEMS TO FIX ITSELF, I HAVE HAD THE A/C NOT WORK ABS LIGHTS FLASH,POWER DOOR LOCKS FLUCTUATE AND ALL THAT WHILE DRIVING. WHEN IT IS PARKED I WILL UNLOCK IT USING THE KEY FOB EVERYTHING WILL LIGHT UP TRUCK WILL UNLOCK GET PUT KEY IN THE IGNITION TO START AND EVERYTHING WILL SHUT OFF. IT IS AS IF SOMEONE TOOK OUT THE BATTERY, I HAVE NO HORN NO 4WAYS NO POWER OF ANY KIND. NOW IT DOES NOT DO THIS ALL THE TIME BUT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. LAST TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE TECH TOLD ME IT FIXED ITSELF HE DON'T KNOW WHAT HE DID,BUT TOLD ME TO GET RID OF IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THAT WAS WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY NOW IT WILL COST ME A SMALL FORTUNE FOR THEM TO TELL TO GET RID OF IT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR MOTOR FAILED FOR THE POWER LOCKS AND ALL DOORS HAD TO BE UNLOCKED MANUALLY. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND DIRECTED HIM TO THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND INFORMED HIM THERE WERE NO RECALLS AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.
DRIVERS DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING UNEXPECTEDLY. THE REMOTE LOCK/UNLOCK AND POWER LOCK/UNLOCK NO LONGER WORK. *TR
THE AUTO DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING FOR A SECOND TIME. WHEN YOU PRESS THE LOCK BUTTON, THE DOOR LOCK DO NOT RESPOND. THIS COULD CAUSE PEOPLE TO BECOME TRAPPED IN THE TRUCK, OR A CRIMINAL COULD EASILY OPEN THE DOOR TO CARJACK THE DRIVER. *TR
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO AND AROUND 34,000 MILES THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK STOPPED WORKING I THINK THE MOTOR WENT OUT YOU HAVE TO LOCK IT MANUALLY THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE FIXED SEVERAL OF THEM BUT THERE IS NO RECALL A FRIEND OF MINE HAS A 2008 GMC AND HERS DONE THE SAME EXACT THING. *TR
I DRIVE A 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO CREW CAB AND THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES WORE COMPLETELY TO THE METAL DUE TO THE NEGLIGENCE OF THE DEALERSHIP. I SPOKE WITH THE OWNER AND THEY ARE INCURRING SOME OF THE COST, BUT AFTER THEY INSPECTED THE VEHICLE THE BACK BRAKES ARE ALSO WORN. THE TRUCK HAS 39,700 MILES AND ALL THE BRAKES ARE BEING REPLACED, FRONT AND BACK. I HAVE ALWAYS COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT MY BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND THEY ALWAYS CAME UP WITH SOME SORT OF EXPLANATION TO JUSTIFY THE NOISE. THIS IS MY 4TH CHEVY TRUCK AND THE FIRST ONE WHERE ALL THE BRAKES ARE BEING REPLACED AT THE SAME TIME BEFORE IT HAS HIT 40,000. *TR
BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN PRESSURE ON PEDAL IS DECREASED WITHOUT COMPLETLY RELEASING PEDAL. 2 NEW BRAKE SWITCHES WITH UPDATED TECHNOLOGY TO SOLVE PROBLEM ACCORDING TO GM HAVE NOT STOPPED THIS CONDITION. TRUCK HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM SINCE PURCHASED AND STILL HAVE IT NOW 37000 MILES LATER. *TR
WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED BALL JOINT FAILURE ON THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THIS CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE ENDING UP IN A DTICH. THE ENTIRE RIGHT FRONT SUSPENSION IS DAMAGED AND MUST BE REPLACED. *TR
THREE OF THE FOUR LOCKS ON MY 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO NO LONGER WORK WHEN USING THE REMOTE. THEY QUIT WORKING RIGHT AFTER THE 36,000 MILE FACTORY WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $700 TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I CONTACTED CHEVY DIRECTLY AND THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE NOT HAD ANY OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS FROM A CHEVY DEALER SO THEY COULD EVALUATE THE PROBLEM. IT IS VERY INCONVENIENT, AND FRUSTRATING, TO HAVE PAID FOR AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS AND THEY QUIT WORKING TWO YEARS AFTER I HAVE THE VEHICLE. YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK/UNLOCK EACH DOOR WHEN IT SHOULD BE AS SIMPLE AS PUSHING A BUTTON. IT IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE THE LOCKS DON'T WORK WHILE THE TRUCK IS BEING DRIVEN. NOW, THE REAR WINDOWS DON'T OPERATE FROM THE CONTROLS ON THE REAR DOORS. I CAN'T BELIEVE, THAT WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE, CHEVY WON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND FIX THEIR MALFUNCTION. NEXT TIME I THINK I'LL BUY A FORD IF THIS IS HOW CHEVY TREATS THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR
THOUGH MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES MAY BE WORKING JUST AS THEY WERE DESIGNED, THEY SEEM TO INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE SIGNIFICANTLY OVER WHAT WOULD BE ATTAINED WITH JUST THE WHEELS LOCKING UP AND SLIDING OR SKIDDING. ON DRY PAVEMENT, STOPPING POWER OF THIS TRUCK IS FANTASTIC UP TO THE POINT WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE, THEN ITS AS IF THE BRAKES ALMOST COMPLETELY RELEASE THE WHEEL THEN REACTIVATE THE BRAKE TO THE POINT IT STARTS TO SKID THEN RELEASES IT COMPLETELY AND SO ON AND SO ON. THIS ACTION OF COURSE HAPPENS VERY QUICKLY, BUT SEEMS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER ANTI LOCK VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. BECAUSE OF THIS CYCLE OF COMPLETELY RELEASING THE BRAKES THEN HITTING THEM SO HARD THEY INSTANTLY LOCK UP THEN RELEASING THEM AGAIN, THE STOPPING DISTANCE SEEMS GREATLY EXAGGERATED. ON A REDUCED TRACTION SITUATION SUCH AS SNOW, ICE, OR DIRT, ITS AS IF THE BRAKES DON'T WORK AT ALL. AS I STATED IN THE OPENING STATEMENT, THIS TRUCK HAS WONDERFUL BRAKES UP TO AND UNTIL THE POINT OF THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, SO WHEN THIS OCCURS IT IS QUITE SHOCKING. AS FOR MY BRAKING TECHNIQUE, I'VE BEEN TOLD AND HAVE FOLLOWED THE ADVICE THAT ONCE THAT ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ACTIVATE, YOU KEEP FIRM STEADY PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I'VE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF THE RECENT ICE AND SNOW IN OUR AREA TO TEST AND CONFIRM THAT I AM USING PROPER TECHNIQUE IN USING THE BRAKES AND I'M MORE CONVINCED THAT THIS SYSTEM IS CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS THAN IT SOLVES. I WOULD RATHER HAVE STANDARD BRAKES THAN THIS. I BELIEVE IT WOULD BE IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST IF THIS SYSTEM WERE CHECKED BY SOMEONE WITH THE ABILITY TO CONFIRM THAT THESE BRAKES MEET THE SAFETY STANDARD EXPECTED BY SAFETY REGULATORS OVER SEEING THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT TAKING THIS VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT IS GOING TO SOLVE ANYTHING, IN THAT I EXPECT THEY ARE GOING TO TELL ME THAT THEY ARE WORKING FINE.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REVERSE PARKING ASSIST MECHANISM FAILED. THE RED WARNING LIGHTS IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WOULD FREEZE IN COLDER TEMPERATURES AND WOULD INTERMITTENTLY SHUT OFF INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SENSORS BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO TO ATTEMPT TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 24,000.
I WAS DRIVING AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH WHEN A DRIVER, WHO WAS CITED FOR FAILING TO YIELD TO THE RIGHT OF WAY, ENTERED THE ROADWAY FROM MY LEFT. THE INITIAL IMPACT WAS MY TRUCK'S FRONT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE THAT ENTERED THE ROADWAY. AFTER BOTH VEHICLES SEPARATED, MY VEHICLE CONTINUED AND STRUCK A MEDIAN GUARDRAIL HEAD-ON (ANOTHER FRONTAL IMPACT) BEFORE COMING TO REST. MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE HIGHWAY PATROL INVESTIGATED THE ACTIVE COLLISION SCENE. FOUR DAYS LATER, AN INDEPENDENT COLLISION RECONSTRUCTION EXPERT THAT I HIRED INSPECTED MY VEHICLE AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP. THE INSPECTION REVEALED THAT: I WAS IN FACT GOING 45MPH, MY SEATBELT WAS BUCKLED, MY SEATBELT PRETENSIONER DID NOT ACTIVATE, AND NO AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. GM HAS ALSO BEEN CONTACTED BY ME, AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE A 2008 SILVERADO 1500. LOCKS AND LATCHES DOES NOT WORK ON THE BACK DRIVER SIDE OF MY TRUCK. WHEN INQUIRED ABOUT IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS SAID I NEEDED SOME TYPE OF MOTOR. I GOT IT FIXED WHICH COST ME $200. AND TWO WEEKS LATER THE PASSENGER SEAT STARTED GIVING ME THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS. TO LOCK THE DOOR I HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK IT. MY REMOTE WORKS FOR THE OTHER THREE DOORS BUT NOT THE PASSENGER DOOR. ANYONE CAN OPEN MY TRUCK. I HAVE RESEARCHED SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MATTER I HAVE 45,000 MILES ON MY TRUCK. *TR
2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. DOOR LOCKS CYCLING, A/C NOT WORKING INTERMITTENT, ALT GAUGE FLUCTUATING, FUEL GAUGE FLUCTUATING, ENGINE STALL, ABS & TCS LIGHTS BLINKING. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO MY DEALER AND THE KEPT IT FOR A WEEK. THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE 175 AMP MEGAFUSE AND BATTERY CABLES. I GOT BACK AND HAVE DRIVEN IT FOR A WEEK AND EVERYTHING SEEMS TO BE WORKING PROPERLY EXCEPT THE ALT GAUGE. I INTEND ON CALLING THEM BACK NEXT WEEK SO I CAN DRIVE IT A LITTLE LONGER TO SEE IF ANY OF THE OTHER ISSUES PERSIST.
BRAKING SYSTEM ON MY 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO VIBRATES HARSHLY AT SPEEDS ABOVE 50 MPH. THE HIGHER THE SPEED, THE MORE THE VIBRATION I FEEL, MAKING IT HARD TO STOP AND MAKING THE VEHICLE FEEL UNSTABLE. THERE IS ALSO A POPPING NOISE THAT HAS BEEN COMING FROM MY REAR BRAKES. THESE ISSUES STARTED AT ABOUT 5-6K MILES AND HAVE CONTINUED TO GET WORSE. I NOW HAVE 24K MILES ON MY TRUCK AND GM HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THESE ISSUES. *TR
THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR TIRE SIDEWALL PEELED APART ON CHEVY 2008 SILVERADO WITH AMERITRAC TIRES 245/70R17 WITH ONLY 10,000 MILES ON VEHICLE. WHEN I TOOK THE TIRE TO THE DEALER, SINCE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER WARRANTY THEY CLAIMED IT WAS DUE TO A PUNCTURE IN THE TIRE. THEY ALSO SAID IT WAS FROM A PIECE OF SCREW DRIVER THAT WAS PLANET IN THE VEHICLE. THE PIECE OF SCREW DRIVER WASN'T THERE UNTIL THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, SO NOT ONLY DIDN'T THEY FIX THE CAR THEY DAMAGED IT. *TR
DOOR LOCK ON DRIVERS SIDE WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. WHEN PRESSING THE REMOTE FOB TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE TRUCK IT TRIES TO MOVE BUT WILL NOT FULLY GO UP OR DOWN ALL THE WAY. THE SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN USING THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON FROM THE INSIDE OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE BEEN LOCKING MY TRUCK AND WALKING AWAY WITH A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. YOU CAN WALK UP AND OPEN MY DOOR DUE TO THIS DEFECT. THE ALARM WILL SOUND BUT ENTRY HAS ALREADY BEEN MADE TO THE VEHICLE. EVEN WORSE WHAT IF YOU NEEDED TO LOCK THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE TO AVOID SOMEONE TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOU THROUGH YOUR VEHICLE. YOU WOULD HAVE TO REMEMBER TO HIT THE LOCK KNOB ITSELF BECAUSE THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON DOES NOT WORK. THIS IS BAD BECAUSE GM KNOWS THEY HAVE CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THIS. JUST GO TO THE INTERNET AND TYPE IN "2008 SILVERADO DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR" AND SEE WHAT COMES UP. IT IS RIDICULOUS THAT A COMPANY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND ITS PRODUCT. NOW THAT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OWNS MOST OF GM IT WILL GET WORSE. THIS WILL BE THE LAST GM PRODUCT THAT I EVER PURCHASE. *TR

FORTY-FIVE DAYS AFTER PURCHASING A USED 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 4X4, THE 'SERVICE ABS AND STABILITRAK' WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED ON THE DRIVERS INFORMATIONAL SCREEN. FOLLOWING THE MANUFACTURES RECOMMENDATION TO RE-SET THE COMPONENTS DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUES. WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED. VEHICLE WAS RETURNED TO DEALER WHERE THE RIGHT-REAR WHEEL SENSOR WAS FOUND TO BE WET, CORRODED AND BROKEN. DEALER SERVICE ADVISOR (AND) TECHNICIAN STATED THEY 'HAVE SEEN THIS ON MANY OTHER [SAME MAKE AND MODEL] TRUCKS.' DAMAGED SENSOR REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE AND OLD SENSOR RETAINED BY DEALER. *TR
ONE OF THE REAR WHEELS LOCKS UP INTERMITTENTLY WHEN TURNING A CORNER WHILE ROAD IS WET CAN HAPPEN ON LEFT OR RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE. WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED THAT I HAD THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY 2000 CHEVY SILVERADO WHICH COST ME ABOUT $2,000 TO HAVE IT REPAIR THE DEALERSHIP ("LEAHMAN BROTHERS" IN CONCORD CA) THEY DROVE THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE WHAT IT WAS DOING. AND WOULDN'T GO ANY FURTHER WITH THE INVESTIGATION. *TR
THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING OVER SEVERAL MONTHS, IT IS AS FOLLOWS: THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATE TO THE ON POSITION THEN RELOCK. FOLLOWING THAT, ALL ELECTRONICS SHUT OFF, THE VEHICLE LURCHES, THEN EVERYTHING COMES BACK ON AND YOU CONTINUE ON THE WAY. IT IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT BECAUSE ALL LIGHTING GOES OFF AND YOU ARE LEFT IN THE DARKNESS WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AN SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND THE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE AND AGREED PROVIDE ME A VEHICLE, HOWEVER THAT WAS TWO WEEKS AGO. I HAVE HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT FOR FEAR OF INJURING MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE DURING ONE OF THE EPISODES.

2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO - AIR CONDITIONER BLOWS HOT AIR OUT OF DRIVERS SIDE AND COLD AIR OUT OF PASSENGER SIDE. EXTREMELY HOT AIR BLOWS OUT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE WHENEVER THE AIR IS SET ON 60 (HOTTER THAN THE MAX 90). IT OCCURRED ONCE BEFORE BUT WAS FIXED BY A MECHANIC COSTING A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS, BUT NOW IT HAS BEGUN AGAIN. I AM NOT SURE IF A PART WAS FIXED OR REPLACED BUT THE ISSUE CEASED AND NOW HAS STARTED AGAIN. *TR
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB THAT MAKES CLANKING SOUND WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS INTO THIRD GEAR. I WENT TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS "NORMAL FOR THIS TRUCK". THE TRUCK HAS LESS THAN 16,000 MILES ON IT. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT HE WAS "SURPRISED THAT IT HAD NOT STARTED MAKING THIS NOISE SOONER". IT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY LOUDER AND CAN BE HEARD WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. COINCIDENTALLY, THIS IS THE SAME SOUND THE TRUCK STARTED MAKING A FEW MONTHS AGO WHEN I WOULD TAKE OFF AT A STOPLIGHT/STOP SIGN. I COULD FEEL A PAUSE AND THEN IT WOULD CLANK AND START TO MOVE. AGAIN THIS CAN BE HEARD WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THAT TIME AND WAS TOLD "THIS IS NORMAL OPERATION".

PRELUDE TO THIS EVENT, INVOLVING MY 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 (APPROX 16,200 MILES), WAS THE WARRANTY REPLACEMENT FOR THE FAILURE OF ALL 4 POWER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS. THE ACTUATORS FAILED ONE AT A TIME AND EACH TIME AN ACTUATOR WOULD FAIL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHOCK THE DRIVER WHEN TOUCHING THE METAL DOOR WHILE EXITING THE VEHICLE. THE LAST ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALERSHIP ON SEPTEMBER 18TH, 2009. ON SEPTEMBER 19TH, 2009, AFTER ENGAGING MY VEHICLE INTO REVERSE GEAR, THE DASHBOARD ELECTRICAL WENT DEAD. GAUGES WENT DARK AND RADIO BEGAN TO BLINK. WITHIN 5-10 SECONDS, SMELL OF BURNING ELECTRICAL CAME INTO THE CAB OF THE VEHICLE. I POPPED THE HOOD AND MY PASSENGER IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED A FIRE NEAR THE TRANSMISSION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE FIRE WAS EXTINGUISHED BEFORE ENGULFING THE VEHICLE. AFTER INSPECTION, WE FOUND A SHORTED OUT WIRE NEAR THE STARTER AND A BROKEN TRANSMISSION COOLING LINE. THE CAUSE OF BOTH ANOMALIES IS UNKNOWN AT THIS POINT. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM. THIS OCCURRED UNDER "NORMAL" CONDITIONS ON AN IMPROVED DRIVING SURFACE. *TR
I HAVE HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK - ONE THE DRIVER DOOR LOCKS CLICKER STOPPED WORKING AND I HAD TO HAVE THE CHEVY DEALER REPLACE THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING PART - NOW THE BRAKES ARE A PROBLEM - I HAVE 17,000 MILES ON THIS TRUCK AND THE FRONT ROTORS HAD GROVES IN THEM AND HAD TO BE TURNED - THE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH HEAVY DUTY PADS - MY REGULAR TIRE AND BRAKE SHOP IN TOWN SAID THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE PUT THE HEAVY DUTY PADS ON THIS TRUCK. FOUR DAYS AFTER THE FIRST FIX IT STARTED SQUEAKING AND I HAD TO TAKE IT BAKE TO THE DEALER AND HE SAID THEY HAD TO KEEP IT AND CHECK THE BRAKES WERE GETTING HOT, THEY GOT ME A RENTAL CAR FOR FOUR DAYS WHILE THEY TOOK THE BRAKES APART AND PUT THEM BACK TOGETHER AND SAID THEY MUST HAVE PUT THEM TOGETHER THE FIRST TIME WRONG! *TR
LEFT FRT BRAKE HANGING UP AT TIMES. LEFT FRT. ROTOR HAS GROVES STARTING TO SHOW. ALSO THE PADS LOOK OK. LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE GETTING HOT. THE RIGHT FRT. BRAKE LOOKS FINE. MAKES A NOISE AT TIMES WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. *TR
I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP SHOP TWICE REGARDING THE SQUEALING BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE FRONT BRAKES AND THEY REPLACED THEM AT NO COST. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REAR BRAKE REPLACEMENT. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TWO WEEKS LATER BECAUSE OF THE SAME SQUEALING. THEY SAID THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO WAS TO SPRAY ON SOME KIND OF METAL COATING. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO COME BACK BECAUSE IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL HOURS TO DRY. IF THEY JUST REPLACED DEFECTIVE BRAKES, WHY WOULD I HAVE TO ACCEPT THEM SPRAYING SOMETHING ON THEM INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. MY HUSBAND HAS THIS SAME TRUCK AND HIS BRAKES SQUEAL TOO. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND PROCEEDING TO TURN, THE STEERING WHEEL UNEXPECTEDLY MOVED BACK AND FORTH. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LATER RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A MODERATE WRIST INJURY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP. ONE MONTH PRIOR TO THE STEERING PUMP REPAIR, THE STEERING GEARS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR IDENTICAL FAILURES, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. IN ADDITION, THERE WAS A DEFECTIVE PROPELLER SHAFT ASSEMBLY WHICH HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,600 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,000.
IF I AM GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL AND THEN LET UP A LITTLE BIT SO THAT I DON'T HAVE AS MUCH PRESSURE ON THE BRAKES THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT. THEY GO OUT BEFORE I AM OFF OF MY BRAKES. SO IF I AM COASTING DOWN A HILL AND APPLY MY BRAKES AND THEN REALIZE THAT I HAVE APPLIED TOO MUCH PRESSURE AND I HAVE TO LET OUT A LITTLE BIT TO CALIBRATE THE PRESSURE CORRECTLY MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT STAY ON, THEY GO OUT BEFORE THE PEDAL IS COMPLETELY RELEASED. I WANT MY BRAKE LIGHTS TO STAY ON UNTIL I LET OFF MY BRAKES COMPLETELY, IT SHOULDN'T MATTER HOW MUCH PRESSURE I HAVE ON MY BRAKES, IF MY BRAKES ARE ON SO SHOULD MY LIGHTS. THE REASON I AM CONCERNED WITH THIS IS BECAUSE I HAD SOMEONE NEARLY RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. ALSO IF I AM SITTING AT A REDLIGHT AND EASE UP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT STILL AT A FULL STOP, THE BRAKE LIGHTS GO OUT WHILE I AM SITTING THERE, I HAVE TO PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN TO GET THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO COME ON AND STAY ONE, IF I HAVE ANY PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL THE LIGHTS SHOULD STAY ON. THIS HAS SCARED ME PLENTY OF TIMES AT NIGHT BECAUSE I WILL BE STOPPED AND THE PERSON BEHIND ME HAS TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES TO KEEP FROM HITTING ME. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WITH MY 08 SILVERADO. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER TO GET THIS FIXED AS A WARRANTY ISSUE BUT THEY SAY "FAILURE TO REPLICATE PROBLEM." SO THAT IS WHY I AM FILLING OUT THE COMPLAINT. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE LIGHT WOULD GO OUT IF THE CONTACT SLIGHTLY REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER BOTH STATED THAT THIS WAS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL IS SLIGHTLY RELEASED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIRS. THERE WERE NO RECALLS AVAILABLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS LESS THAN 7,000. UPDATED 07/01/09 *BF WHILE TOWING A TRAILER, THE VEHICLE WOULD LURCH FORWARD WHEN BRAKING. THE ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKES SEEMED TO FUNCTION OFF OF THE VEHICLE BRAKE LIGHTS, WHICH CAUSES THE TRAILER BRAKES TO DISENGAGE EVEN WHILE APPLYING BRAKE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLES BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE BRAKING. UPDATED 07/02/09.*JB
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE REAR END OF THE VEHICLE WOULD SHAKE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE REAR DRUMS, BUT THAT DID NOT REMEDY THE FAILURE. CURRENTLY, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHILE BRAKING AND THE BRAKES ARE TURNING BLUE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES AND ROTORS, BUT THAT ALSO DID NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. A CERTIFIED BRAKE SPECIALIST STATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT FEELS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE A CRASH COULD OCCUR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 10,800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.
I HAVE TAKEN MY 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO TRUCK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIME TO THE DEALER FOR MANY DIFFERENT PROBLEMS. ONE SPECIFICALLY, BRAKES. THE BRAKES HAVE GIVEN ME A PROBLEM EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED ONCE. AFTER REPLACEMENT THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS. THE DEALER SAYS THE PROBLEM IS NORMAL. A NEW VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE SO MANY PROBLEMS. I'VE BEEN TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR ALL MY CONCERNS. NOW THEY SAY ITS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE. AFTER I'VE TAKEN IT SO MANY TIMES, NOW THEY SAY THAT'S WHAT IT IS. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS RIGHT. I HAVE ALL PAPERWORK OF ME TAKING THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR MY CONCERNS. I BELIEVE YOU WILL SEE THAT I HAVE TAKEN IT SO MANY TIMES, THAT MY CASE SHOULD BE HANDLED. I HAVE CALLED THE BANK THAT HAS THE LOAN OF THE TRUCK, AND HAVE CALLED CHEVY AND GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. NO FOLLOW UP IS ATTEMPTED FROM THE CUSTOMER SERVICES. NOW I DO NOT HAVE FAITH IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO HAVE A DEFECTIVE TRUCK. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES GRADUALLY TEND TO STOP WORKING. THE DEALER CHECKED THE BRAKES AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FINE. ANOTHER DEALER TOOK THE BRAKES APART AND FOUND THAT THEY WERE VERY WORN AND WOULD COST $800 TO REPAIR. THE CONTACT DECLINED THE REPAIR AND DROVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS RESIDENCE. THE BRAKES ARE THE ORIGINAL ONES THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT HAS A GM REPAIR ORDER. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES FOR THE BRAKES, BUT ONLY ONE MECHANIC FOUND HEAT CRACKS AND HEAT SPOTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 29,090 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR LOCK NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THIS VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH AUTO LOCKS WHICH CAN BE REMOTE OPERATED. THE DEVICE THAT MAKES THE LOCK WORK STOPPED WORKING. AS A RESULT THE DOOR DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY LOCK OR UN LOCK. ALSO WITH THE DEVICE BEING BROKE THE REMOTE LOCKS DO NOT WORK EITHER. THIS LOCK FAILURE GOING UN NOTICED CAN LEAVE THE PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. WHAT IF IT FAILED AT A PASSENGER DOOR WHERE A CHILD WAS SITTING? WHAT IF YOU LOCKED THE TRUCK, WALKED INTO THE STORE, WALKED BACK OUT TO YOUR TRUCK AND SOMEONE GOT IN WHILE YOU WERE INSIDE? WHAT IF YOU WERE AT A RED LIGHT AND SOMEONE CAME TO ATTACK YOU AND THE LOCK FAILED. THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE SEVERE CONSEQUENCES. IT GIVES YOU A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY INFORMED ME THIS ISSUE WAS COMMON AND THEY HAVE BEEN SEEING A LOT OF VEHICLES BROUGHT IN FOR WARRANTY WORK TO REPLACE THE DEFECTED PART. LUCKILY MY TRUCK WAS INSIDE THE 36K WARRANTY PERIOD SO THE REPAIR WILL BE MADE AT NO COST. HOWEVER, I HAVE SINCE EXCEEDED THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND FROM THIS POINT FORWARD IT WILL COME OUT OF MY POCKET. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHEN THE CONTACT WENT TO CHANGE HIS LICENSE PLATE, HE NOTICED THAT THE SPARE TIRE WAS A DIFFERENT SIZE THAN THE REST OF THE TIRES. HE CONSULTED THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY RECEIVED OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ISSUE, BUT COULD NOT DO ANYTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE SPARE WAS A TEMPORARY ONE AND OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE SPARE WAS A GOODYEAR WRANGLER HP TIRE, SIZE 265/70/17. THE OTHER TIRES WERE BRIDGESTONE, SIZE 265/65/18. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,465 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 2,400. UPDATED 05/06/09. *LJ UPDATED 05/07/09.*JB
WE PURCHASED TWO 2008 CHEVROLET PICK UP TRUCKS ON THE SAME DATE AND ARE EXPERIENCING A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH BRAKE ROTOR WARPING. I HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AFTER 3,000 MILES AND AGAIN AT 11,300 MILES. IT HAS HAD TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED AT 8,000 MILES. ON APRIL 14, 2009 VEHICLE #2 WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A STEEP HILL AND THE BRAKES BARELY STOPPED THE TRUCK DUE TO THE ROTORS BEING WARPED AND OVERHEATING. BOTH VEHICLES WERE TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP TODAY AND A COMPLAINT #71-716924191 WAS FILED WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE NATIONAL LINE. VEHICLE #1 WAS BEING DRIVEN DOWN A HILL LAST THURSDAY AND THAT VEHICLE BARELY STOPPED DUE TO BAD ROTORS. WE EXPRESSED TO CHEVROLET THAT THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND THEY SAID THEY WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES OF THEIR WARRANTY AND TURNED DOWN THE ROTORS AS NECESSARY AS LONG AS THERE IS STILL SERVICEABLE LIFE LEFT IN THEM. THEY WILL NOT INSTALL ANY BETTER ROTORS NOR WOULD THEY OFFER ANY OTHER SOLUTION. THE DEALER SERVICE ADVISER TOLD US THAT THEY HAVE PROBLEMS WITH ALL PICK UP TRUCK ROTORS ON VEHICLES THAT FREQUENTLY TRAVEL ON HILLS AND HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH CARS AS WELL. THESE TWO PICK-UP TRUCKS DO NOT NORMALLY TOW ANYTHING, ONLY HAVE ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE, AND USUALLY HAVE A FOUR WHEEL ATV ON THE BACK WHICH WEIGHS ABOUT 360 POUNDS WHICH IS LESS THAN TWO OF THREE PEOPLE OCCUPYING A CAB. THE VEHICLES ARE DRIVEN ON SOME FARM LANES AND GET SOME MUD ON THE WHEELS INFREQUENTLY BUT THEY SAID THIS CONTRIBUTES TO THE ROTORS OVERHEATING. PICKUP TRUCKS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DESIGNED FOR HEAVIER USE "CHEVY TOUGH IS THEIR ADVERTISING SLOGAN" AND THESE PICKUPS, DO NOT SEE MUCH HEAVY USE. WE FEEL THIS IS A CONSIDERABLE SAFETY HAZARD OF BRAKE FAILURE AND LOOKS LIKE IT WILL BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WELL AFTER THE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRES. WE LIVE IN A HILLY AREA WITH MANY STEEP ROADS AND WERE NEVER ADVISED THAT THE TRUCKS COULD NOT WITHSTAND THESE CONDITIONS. *TR
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE. THE ISSUE IS A STRUCTURALLY DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. THE WINDSHIELD STARTED CRACKING UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE MOLDING AND HAS PROGRESSED TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD. I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT NOTHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD AND THE FACT THAT THE CRACK STARTED WHEN THERE WAS NO ONE AROUND ELSE ON THE ROAD. I WENT TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REVIEWED. THE SERVICE MANAGER SIMPLY GLANCED AT THE WINDSHIELD AND CONCLUDED THAT SOMETHING HIT THE WINDSHIELD WHEN IT FACT THERE IS NOTHING TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT STATEMENT.. HE WENT ON TO SELL ME THE LINE THAT IF THERE WAS A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS THAT THE CRACK WOULD HAVE SHOWED UP BEFORE 7,500 MILES. AS A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER I KNOW THAT THIS IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT STATEMENT AND NOTHING MORE THEN AN EXCUSE TO DO NOTHING. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHENEVER THE IGNITION WAS STARTED, A SULFURIC EGG ODOR EXPELLED THROUGHOUT THE AIR VENTS. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER EXPERIENCED NAUSEA AND VOMITING DUE TO BEING EXPOSED TO THE ODOR. THEY ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING TESTED FOR THE SYMPTOMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTHORIZED DEALER ON FIFTEEN SEPARATE OCCASIONS FOR THE IDENTICAL FAILURE, BUT THERE WERE NO RESOLUTIONS. THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE AUTHORIZED DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO OTHER ALTERNATIVES TO CORRECT THE FAILURE. THE TECHNICIAN SUGGESTED THAT THE HIGH OX-FUEL MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,033. UPDATED 4/16/09 *CNN THE GAUGES WERE ACTING ERRATIC. THE DOOR LOCK MECHANISM RATTLED, THE RIGHT AND LEFT BLINKERS DIDN'T WORK. UPDATED 04/21/09.*JB
RIGHT FRONT TIRE BLEW OUT, WHEN WE WENT TO HAVE THEM REPLACED WE NOTICED A BUMP IN ALL FOUR TIRES, UPON CALLING GENERAL WE WERE TOLD TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO SEARS (AUTHORIZED DEALER) TO LOOK OVER THE TIRES, SEARS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A BELT SEPARATION IN ALL FOUR TIRES. WE WERE TOLD BY GENERAL TIRES THEY WOULD GIVE US A 60% REPLACEMENT ON ONE TIRE. WE THEN CALLED GENERAL MOTORS TO REPORT THE PROBLEM THEY TOLD US WE NEEDED TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED. AFTER LEAVING THE TRUCK ALL DAY THE SERVICE MANAGER REPORTED THAT THE REPLACED TIRE WAS NOT AN ORIGINAL TIRE (IT WAS THE ONE WE HAD FIXED DUE TO BLOW OUT) AND THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE WARRANTED. AT THIS TIME NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO FIX ANY OF THE TIRES. WE WERE TOLD BY A REPRESENTATIVE AT GENERAL MOTORS THAT THERE WERE OTHER REPORTS OF PROBLEMS WITH THESE TIRES. A SECOND REPRESENTATIVE DENIED THAT OTHER PROBLEMS HAS BEEN REPORTED. THERE IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT IN ALL FOUR TIRES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THE RISK OF A CRASH WAS INCREASED. TYPICALLY, THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART AFTER A BRIEF WAITING PERIOD. SPEED IS NOT A FACTOR WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURS. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE AND PROVIDE A SUFFICIENT REMEDY.

I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY SILVERADO EXT. CAB 4X4 LTZ AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER TRAVELING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I PROCEEDED APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 50 YARDS IN AN EFFORT TO FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. BEFORE I COULD PULL OVER THE SMOKE INCREASED AND THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BECAME FILLED WITH HEAVY SMOKE. I STOPPED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND USED ONSTAR TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE THEN EXITED THE VEHICLE AND OPENED THE HOOD TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I SAW HEAVY SMOKE AND FLASHES OF FIRE COMING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ENGINE NEAR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. THE FIRE EXTINGUISHED ITSELF SHORTLY AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF AND THE SMOKE CLEARED AND/OR STOPPED AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES. AFTER THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT CLEARED THE VEHICLE TO BE MOVED, I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND GOT TOWED BACK. AFTER A BRIEF INVESTIGATION THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT STATED THAT "A COMPONENT OF THE TRANSMISSION WAS EITHER IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY DURING ASSEMBLY OR IMMEDIATELY FAILED IN THE FIRST 30 MILES THAT THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN. THIS FAILURE RESULTED IN TRANSMISSION FLUID BEING SPRAYED DIRECTLY ONTO THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER THEREBY CAUSING THE FIRE." *TR
