Summary

For the last few months, my Silverado 1500 Hybrid has been experiencing "bump jerk" phenomenon related to the Hybrid mode auto stop mode and the auxiliary transmission pump intermittently not operating correctly. This issue is intermittent. Sometimes in autostop, the truck behaves normally in Hybrid mode. However, when the auxiliary transmission pump is not operating correctly in auto stop mode and below 25 mph, the truck is at risk of not moving forward in proportion to throttle response as well as rolling backward if my foot is let off the brake while in traffic. After some research, this issue is described in PIP4751G.

Summary

I was driving on the road. The road naturally turned to the left, and when I turned the steering wheel, the truck did not turn. I hit three parked cars. The steering column steering shaft disconnected from the back of the steering wheel. There was no warning signs prior to the accident. I contacted GM. They sent out a adjuster. And denied my claim but did not give me a reason why. My safety was at risk because I lost my steering. The steering wheel turned but the steering shaft became disconnected from the back of the steering wheel and there was no steering. This is a huge safety concern. If this happens to other people. Some one will get killed. I have pictures of the defective part.

Summary

I was driving my 2009 Chevy Silverado from my Driveway onto our small main street. I was in the truck for less then 2 minutes when i heard a loud explosion and a jolt , as if i had been crashed into. My seat belt retracted pressing against my chest. i got out but there were no cars in sight. I walked around the truck to look for damage or if something like rear end locked or dropped. To my Surprise Everything looked fine. I was really shook up and Shaking. It was loud and really forced seat belt tight against me. I slowly started to drive off but my seat belt was stuck in the retracted position. I kept trying to free it up, but it was jammed. I did do a Internet search and found similar occurrences of seat belt malfunction. So to my best guess, the seat belt fired off and prematurely locked in tight position.

Summary

I have had the Tire Pressure indicator that tells the tire pressure of all four tire replaced several times. John L Sullivan Chevrolet in Roseville California keeps telling me that they are wearing out do to use. But the truck only has 70K in mileage and I they malfunction all the time. I get readings of 99 lbs of air pressure. Then the same tire will say 0 lbs of pressure. And it will say 7, then 29 then 18 lbs of air pressure in a distance of 2 blocks traveled. This is a malfunction due to faulty parts in the GM tire pressure reading system and they need to fix it. If I take it to the Chevy dealer, they want to charge me $209 to per tire to replace them and then they still do not work after they replace them Still get crazy tire pressure readings and it warnings flashing on my instrument panel that are distracting and dangerous. It does not flashes every 5 seconds that I have a tire pressure issue and it needs to get resolved. But Chevrolet will not do anything but charge money of there problem with their truck part that is malfunctioning.

MY FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE PN20759945 SHORTED. RECALL BULLETIN 14515 COVERS MY MODEL YEAR AND PART NUMBER. HOWEVER, GM CLAIMS MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BY THIS. THIS IS THE SAME PART AND SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL BULLETIN, AND IMO IT SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM. FCPM'S ARE POORLY DESIGNED AND POORLY PLACED AND FAIL ON MANY MANY GM MODELS OVER A NUMBER OF YEARS. THIS IS AN ITEM THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE ALL VEHICLES WITH THAT PART NUMBER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE MOUNTED EXTERNALLY AND EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRONMENT SUCH AS ON ALL CHEVY SLIVERADOS AND RELATED TRUCKS. THE FAULT IN MY CASE WAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND NOT A CRANK NO START. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO GM FOR DIAGNOSIS. THEY SAID THE FCPM NEEDS REPLACED AS IT SHOWS AND INTERNAL FAULT. THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE PART AND SERVICE,WHICH SHOULD BE COVERED BY GM UNDER THE BULLETIN IMO.

ENGINE DOESN'T START. RARE AND INTERMITTENT. NO CLICKS OR ATTEMPT TO START, LIGHTS ARE ON AND GO OFF WHEN KEY TURNED TO START. NOTHING APPEARS TO HELP IE MOVING DRIVE SELECTOR, ENGAGING/RELEASING E-BRAKE, STEPPING ON BRAKE PEDAL, OPENING/CLOSING HOOD ETC WAIT SOME UNKNOWN PERIOD OF TIME, MORE THAN 10 MINUTES AND IT STARTS AS THOUGH NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. I'VE LOOKED INTO IT ONLINE ENOUGH TO KNOW OTHERS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS BUT HAVEN'T FOUND A SOLUTION. MAYBE NOT BE AS SAFETY RELATED AS IS NEEDED BUT I CAN THINK OF A FEW SCENARIOS THAT COULD BE DANGEROUS. THANKS

ON MARCH 21, 2018, AT OR CLOSE TO 1:45 PM, WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEGAN ILLUMINATING AND PRODUCING AUDITABLE ALARMS. THE MESSAGE CENTER INDICATED TO 'CHECK OIL PRESSURE.' DURING THIS FAILURE, I LOST ALL MOTIVE POWER AND HAD TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF OF THE HIGHWAY'S TRAFFIC AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE FOLLOWING ME, ONE OF WHICH CAME VERY CLOSE TO REAR-ENDING ME. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY IN WHICH THEY HAD INDICATED THAT THIS WAS SOMETHING THEY HAD REPLACED, ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE ON AT LEAST FOUR PREVIOUS OCCASIONS. THE REPAIR FACILITY HAS INDICATED THAT IT WAS DUE TO AN 'OIL PUMP FAILURE' THAT IS LOCATED INSIDE THE ENGINE. THE MILEAGE IS 112,651; I SURE WOULD NOT EXPECT SUCH A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE THAT ENDANGERED OTHER MOTORISTS AND MYSELF. THERE WAS NOT ANY WARNING OF THIS FAILURE; THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD NOT BEEN ILLUMINATED BEFORE THIS FAILURE.

Summary

THE DASHBOARD IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE CASE HOLDING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO IS CRACKED AND BROKEN IN THREE (3) DIFFERENT PLACES, INCLUDING TWO (2) CORNERS. I WAS ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN GM TRUCKS, AND THAT IT IS A STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT ACCIDENT. I WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE OUR TRUCK IS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL TO HAVE OUR AIRBAGS TURNED OFF, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DASH HOLDING THE AIRBAG IS BROKEN AND DAMAGED. THREE-WAY CHEVROLET IN BAKERSFIELD, CA REFUSES TO TURN THE AIRBAG OFF, EVEN AFTER AGREEING THE CRACKED AND BROKEN DASHBOARD POSES AN INHERENT SAFETY RISK BY COMPROMISING THE ALREADY DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

SINCE SUBMITTING MY PREVIOUS SAFETY COMPLAINT, MY "SERVICE AIRBAG SYSTEM" MESSAGE IS NOW DISPLAYED CONTINUOUSLY AND LONGER INTERMITTENTLY DISPLAYED. I HAVE ALSO RECEIVED WRITTEN CORRESPONDENCE FROM TAKATA ANNOUNCING THEIR CHAPTER 11 FILING AND CONFIRMATION THAT MY VEHICLE MAY HAVE A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG. THE NOTICE ALSO ADVISED ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH A LOCAL CAR DEALER TO GET THE DEFECT REPAIRED AT NO COST TO ME. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT ON 10-30-2017 FOR THE REPAIR WORK BUT WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE REPAIRS AS "GM HAS NOT ISSUED A FIX YET". WHAT IS TAKING GM SO LONG TO ADDRESS THIS CLEAR, WELL DOCUMENTED SAFETY THREAT? IT HAS BEEN AT LEAST A YEAR SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS ADDED TO THE RECALL. SHOULD I NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE? CAN THE AIRBAG BE DISABLED? GM IS NOT OFFERING ANY TIMEFRAME FOR RESOLUTION NOR ARE THEY PROVIDING GUIDANCE ON WHAT CAR OWNERS SHOULD DO WHILE THEY FINALIZE A SOLUTION. I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET AND DO NOT HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE FORM OF TRANSPORTATION.

I HAVE CONCERNS WITH FACIAL LACERATIONS AND CONTUSIONS IF A BAG DEPLOYS AND THIS PANEL ALONG WITH OTHER SHARP BROKEN DASH BOARD PLASTIC FRAGMENTS BECOME PROJECTILES FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER ON THE UPPER TORSO, FACE, ARMS AND POTENTIAL BLINDNESS FROM AN EYE INJURY FROM SHARP DASHBOARD PLASTIC FRAGMENTATION INTRUSION. NEWEST CRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WERE WITNESS ON A WARM DAY RECENTLY WHEN I ENTERED THE CAR I HEARD A CRACK AS I SHUT THE DRIVERS DOOR. THE AIRBAG I NOTICED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 IN THE LEFT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COVER, THE FORWARD MOST CORNER OF THE DASH THAT IS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG PLASTIC PANEL RECENTLY SHOWS SIGN OF WHITE DISCOLORATION STREAKS THROUGH THE PLASTIC AND WILL NOT CLEANUP. PLASTIC LOOK AS IF IT IS DETERIORATING AND CHANGING COLOR. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH THIS PANEL AS THIS DEPLOYS WITH AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE DRIVER AIRBAG COVER ON THE STEERING WHEEL LOOKS TO BE MADE OF THE SAME MATERIAL AND THAT FRAGMENTATION MAY OCCUR HERE AS WELL IN A AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, TRUCK HAD MASSIVE ELECTRICAL ISSUES WHICH CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO DOWNSHIFT TO 2ND GEAR. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. WHILE THIS WAS HAPPENING, THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLED ON AND OFF OVER AND OVER AS WELL AS THE DOOR CHIMES COMING ON CONSTANTLY. HVAC DEFAULTED TO FULL HEAT FROM AIR CONDITIONING MODE. STABILITRACK SYSTEMS SHOWED INOPERATIVE AS WELL AS ABS SYSTEM. THE RAPID DOWNSHIFT FROM CRUISE TO 2ND GEAR CAUSED TIRES TO LOCK UP. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL. IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WET OR SLIPPERY, I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL. THE VEHICLE ENGINE REVVED TO 4-5 THOUSAND RPM, AS IT DOWNSHIFTED AND MY SPEED DROPPED LIKE I WAS LOCKING THE BRAKES. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED AND THE DECELERATION CAME ON WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS, AS IT WAS HAPPENING WITH THE TRANSMISSION RAPID DOWNSHIFT. I CONTACTED GM VIA THEIR CHAT LINE, REFERENCE [XXX]. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS 8 YEARS OLD AND BOUGHT OVER-SEAS SO I WAS OUT OF LUCK FOR HELP WITH REPAIRS. IT IS PRESUMABLY CAUSED BY FAULTY BATTERY CABLES. THIS CONDITION IS REPORTED REPEATEDLY ON THE INTERNET I.E. YOUTUBE AMAZON ETC. THESE PARTS ARE NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR COMPONENTS AND SINCE THEY CAUSE MASSIVE SAFETY RELATED CONTROL ISSUES THEIR MANUFACTURING QUALITY IS IN QUESTION. I WANT TO REPORT THIS ISSUE TO HELP PREVENT SOMEONE ELSE POSSIBLY HAVING AN INJURY TO THEIR LOVED ONES BECAUSE OF A KNOWN CONDITION THAT COULD BE REPAIRED WITH A 125.00 PART. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER BUCKALEW CHEV IN CONROE TX. AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE BATTERY CABLES. I HAVE THAT INVOICE. I HAVE THE TRANSCRIPT FROM THE INITIAL CHAT WITH GM.

SAFETY BULLETING 14515 ' CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION ' 2007-2014. MY 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 IS HAVING A PROBLEM THAT THE ELECTRIC GOES OFF AND ON WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AFTER HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL OF THE TIME. IT SEEMS VERY DANGEROUS, SOMETIMES WHEN IT HAPPENS THE DOOR LOCKS GO UP AND DOWN. I TALKED TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER IN TEMPE, FREEWAY CHEVROLET, AND THEY STATED MY TRUCK WAS NOT PART OF THE SAFETY RECALL BULLETIN 14515 EVEN THOUGH OTHER 2009 CHEVROLETR SILVERADO 1500S WERE PART OF THE RECALL. I WOULD THINK THAT CHEVROLET WOULD BE GLAD TO FIX IT BEFORE A CRASH, SORT OF LIKE TOYOTA SHOULD OF FIXED THEIR BRAKING AND ACCELERATION PROBLEM BEFORE SO MANY CRASHES. IS IT TRUE THAT EVEN IF THE TRUCK IS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALL, WHICH IS A SAFETY RECALL, IT MAY NOT BE COVERED FOR IT IS NOT LISTED?

I HAVE READ DIFFERENT ARTICLES ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND THE DEALER TELLS THEM IT'S TOO BAD AND THEY WILL NOT WARRANT THE REPAIRS. THIS TO ME IS A VERY VERY BAD SAFETY MATTER JUST BECAUSE IF YOU ARE IN A BAD WRECK AND THE AIR BAG DOES DEPLOY THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE DASH WILL POP THE BAG IF IT DOESN'T BLOW THE DASH BOARD UP AND SEND PLASTIC PROJECTILES FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE POSSIBLY BLINDING OR KILLING YOU FROM THE SCRAPNAL PLASTIC PIECES. HAS ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DASH BOARDS BEING DEFECTIVE?

THE DASH CRACKED NEXT TO THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER. IT DID SO COMPLETELY BY ITSELF SOMETIME BETWEEN ABOUT MAY 10 AND MAY 18 . IT WAS FINE THE LAST TIME I DUSTED THE DASH OFF AROUND MAY 10. I DISCOVERED IT A COUPLE OF DAYS A GO. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN 2OO7 TO 2O13 GM TRUCK TYPE VEHICLES. MY SON IN LAW HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2010 SILVERADO HE BOUGHT NEW. I ALSO PURCHASED MY 2009 SILVERADO NEW. I ALSO GOT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE. SEEMS THE AIRBAG PROBLEM COULD BE MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE CRACKED DASH. DON'T KNOW IF TRUCK WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I ASSUME IT MAY HAVE BEEN PARKED AS I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING ANY SORT OF CRACKING SOUND.

BUT 3X DAYS LATER THE TRUCK FAILED TO START THIS TIME WITH COMPUTER SCAN TOOL IN HAND I CHECKED THE FUEL PUMP PRESSURE, THE TRUCK HAD NO FUEL PUMP PRESSURE. I THEN WENT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND GAVE THEM THE V.I.N. # TO CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR RECALLS. ONLY RECALL WAS FOR SAFETY BELT RECALL WHICH WAS DONE IN 2009. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL RECALL FOR THE FPSM ON THIS WEBSITE. SO II INQUIRED TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT FOR THIS PART,IT WAS IN STOCK AND 183.00. I THEN PURCHASED A NEW AC DELCO MODULE ON-LINE FOR 85.00 PUT IT ON AND THEN FOUND MY LOCAL SHOP IN TOWN TO HAVE A TECH COME OUT TO RE-FLASH THE FPSM SO THE (ECU) WOULD RECOGNIZE THE NEW PART. I AM SAVING MY COPIES OF THE BILLS SO THAT WHEN SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS PART FAILING WHEN IT STOPS THE VEHICLE HOPEFULLY I CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR ANOTHER PLANNED GM PART FAILURE... SINCERELY MR.

Summary

ON THURSDSY, APRIL 27, 2017, I PARKED MY 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO AT HOME IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER WORK AND SHUT IT OFF FOR THE NIGHT. IT WAS STATIONARY AT THAT POINT. I DID NOT RESTART IT OR MOVE IT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY/EVENING. THE NEXT MORNING, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START, BUT TO NO AVAIL AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. I DETERMINED IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. I CALLED A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR TECH WHO DIAGNOSED IT ON SITE, TO BE A FAULTY CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, WHICH SENDS FUEL TO THE FUEL PUMP. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN / PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL #14515B ISSUED JANUARY 2015. IT CLEARLY STATES THAT THE 2007-2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (ALONG WITH MANY OTHER MAKES/MODELS/YEARS) MAY HAVE A CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE COULD HAVE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION (WATER, BUILD-UP CAUSING WIRE AND BOLT CORROSION). I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE FOR MY VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN, THE UNSAFE FACTOR IS THAT THE "VEHICLE COULD STALL WHILE IN MOTION AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH." WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM472842/RCRIT-14V614-0055.PDF I AM THE THIRD OWNER SO I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE DIRECTLY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MAY 24, 2016.

TAKATA RECALL DATE IS MAY 27, 2016 YET I JUST RECEIVED A LETTER IN MID AUGUST INFORMING ME THAT CHEVROLET IS FURTHER DELAYING ADDRESSING THE PROBLEM. THE DANGER OF SERIOUS INJURY AND FATALITY FROM THESE AIRBAGS IS WELL DOCUMENTED, MY TRUCK IS OVER 7 YEARS OLD IN AN EXTREMELY HOT CLIMATE (TEXAS--116 DEGREES RECENTLY) WHICH INCREASES RISK AND YET CHEVROLET IS DELAYING--DOUBTLESS IN HOPES MORE VEHICLES WILL AGE OUT AND REDUCE THEIR COSTS--DESPITE THE RISK OF DEATH OF THEIR CUSTOMERS THIS DELAY ENTAILS. PLEASE INSIST CHEVROLET QUICKLY MOVE TO ADDRESS THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL RISK IDEALLY PRIORITIZING VEHICLES THAT ARE OLDER AND IN HOTTER CLIMATES SINCE THAT SEEMS TO THE HIGHEST RISK GROUPS. I AM DISGUSTED WITH GENERAL MOTORS AND MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE A TESLA BECAUSE TESLA ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY AND ADDRESS SAFETY ISSUES WITHOUT DELAY. PLEASE AGGRESSIVELY REQUIRE THIS RECALL ON A DANGEROUS PRODUCT WHOSE MANUFACTURER (TAKATA) HAS ADMITTED THE PROBLEM. THE NECESSITY HAS BEEN CLEARLY ESTABLISHED IN OTHER CASES AND CHEVROLET'S ONLY POSSIBLE REASON FOR DELAY IS THAT THEY PRIORITIZE AVOIDING EXPENSE TO CORRECT THEIR MISTAKE OVER CUSTOMER'S LIVES.

MY DASH WAS REPLACED AT 63000 MILES BECAUSE IT CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIRBAG. NOW IT'S CRACKED AGAIN BY THE AIRBAG IN 2 PLACES THIS TIME. I TOOK IT BACK TO HENDRICK CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF THE 12 MONTHS 12000 MILE WARRANTY. I WOULD HAVE TO CALL CHEVROLET. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND TALKED TO A NICE LADY WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO A SENIOR ADVISOR WHO L EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND CONCERN OVER SAFETY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE TOOK A SECOND AND THEY HAVE DONE TESTING AND THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. THEN SHE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND CAME BACK WITH THE CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY 100 % TO FIX BECAUSE IT'S COSMETIC. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A HUGE PROBLEM EVERYWHERE. FOR MINE TO CRACK FOR THE 2ND TIME WITHIN 28000 MILES IS UNCALLED FOR. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING OR FIX THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE THERE GOING CHEAP AND TAKE A CHANCE. WE THE CUSTOMERS NEED ANY HELP WE CAN GET FOR CHEVROLET TO OWN UP TO THIS FLAW IN DESIGN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

I OWN A '09 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 PICKUP WITH AN INTEGRATED TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER. MY DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER GAVE ME A WARNING "SERVICE TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEM". I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ABS/STABILITY CONTROL MODULE WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY SAID IT WAS ON BACKORDER FROM GM. IT TURNS OUT THAT GM HAS NO ABS CONTROL MODULES (PART#25802684) IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY! WITH THIS MODULE BEING BAD IT CUTS POWER TO THE TRAILER BRAKES. YOU END UP WITH NO BRAKES ON ANY TRAILER YOU TOW THAT HAS ELECTRIC BRAKES. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS LUCKY THAT MY TRAILER WAS NOT CONNECTED AT THE TIME OF THE FAULT. IF I HAD BEEN TOWING MY CAMPER AND LOST BRAKING POWER TO IT, THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. GM HAS NO FIX FOR THIS. I AND EVERY OTHER OWNER (A LOT) ARE STUCK WITH NO PARTS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE INVESTIGATE WHY GM LET THEIR STOCK IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY GO TO ZERO ON SUCH A CRITICAL SAFETY RELATED PART.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, L JUST RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE OF THE DETERIORATING AIRBAG RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I'M FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR FEAR OF DASH PIECES & EARLY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED YESTERDAY & L WAS ADVISED BY PAUL, A SERVICE WRITER, THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I ASKED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TAKATA INFLATORS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED & L OR PASSENGER WAS KILLED OR HURT? MY RESPONSE WAS THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

WE HAVE A DASH CRACK FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE NOT ALL THE WAY JUST CRACKS IN DIFFERENT AREAS; HOWEVER WHAT WORRIES US THE MOST IS THE 2" CRACK AT THE LEFT HAND CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. THE SPECIFIC AREA IS TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE AIRBAG SEAM THERE IS A CRACK AND I TRULY WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND SHOOTING PLASTIC PIECES EVERYWHERE FROM THAT CRACK.

Summary

I HAVE VARIOUS CRACKS IN MY DASH. THERE IS A LARGE ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THIS ONE OCCURRED JUST THIS YEAR (2016). BUT THE OTHER IS MORE CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS UP AGAINST THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS ONE HAS EXISTED FOR SEVERAL YEARS (2014 OR EARLIER). I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM UNTIL THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL CAME UP. I AM WORRIED THAT SHOULD I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THAT THE CRACKED PLASTIC WILL BECOME LOOSE DEBRIS, AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL HARM TO ANY PASSENGERS. AN INTERESTING THING I'VE NOTICED IS A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH. THIS OCCURS AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON FOR A WHILE. WHEN I PERFORM A GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. IN FACT, THERE IS A FACEBOOK GROUP THAT HAS ABOUT 5000 MEMBERS - HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/ - THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE. I AM UPLOADING 2 PICTURES. THE IMAGE ENDING IN 27, IS THE CENTER CRACK. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IT IS SPLIT COMPLETELY FOR THE FULL DEPTH OF THAT PIECE. THE IMAGE ENDING IN 32, IS THE CRACK THAT SITS NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THESE CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING OR NOT. THEY JUST SEEMED TO APPEAR OVER TIME.

WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE EVERYTHING GOES CRAZY AT ONCE: DOORS LOCK AND UNLOCK, ENGINE CUTS AND GOES BACK ON, STABILITRAK LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF, TRANSMISSION KICKS OUT OF GEAR AND THEN DOWNSHIFTS SENDING THE ENGINE TO OVER 5,000 RPM, RADIO GOES OFF AND ON OFF AND ON. THIS EVENT LASTS FOR ABOUT 5 TO 7 SECONDS THEN EVERYTHING GOES BACK TO NORMAL. THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS VERY SIMILAR TO NHTSA ID #10871399. IT IS AN EXTREMELY SCARY EVENT AND WHEN IN TRAFFIC GOING 70 AND THE VEHICLE DOWNSHIFTS AND THE SPEED DROPS TO 50 LIKE YOU SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, BUT THE BRAKES HAVE NOT BEEN TOUCHED. IT ALMOST CAUSED ME TO BE HIT THIS MORNING. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY 2014 WITH 114,000 MILES, THIS FIRST HAPPENED IN 2014 WITH APPROX. 118,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 171,500.

Summary

THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTED HAVING ELECTRICAL TROUBLES WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. THE DOOR LOCKS WERE CYCLING RAPIDLY, THE GAUGES WERE BOUNCING ALL OVER THE DIALS, WE LOST POWER, THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH WERE FLASHING, AND THE TRANSMISSION STOPPED WORKING, AND WE WERE COASTING - ON AN INTERSTATE. WE PULLED OVER AND SHUT IT OFF FOR A FEW MOMENTS, STARTED IT UP AND TOOK OFF AGAIN, WITH NO TROUBLE. GOT HOME AND I LOOKED IT UP ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY SIMILAR/IDENTICAL STORIES. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY CHARGED US $200, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED FIXED, FOR A WHOLE TWO MONTHS, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SAID IN THEIR POSTS. IT HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 7 TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR, AND WE HAVE RESORTED TO PUSHING IN THE FUSES, WHICH WIGGLE LOOSE - AND IT SEEMS TO FIX IT, ALBEIT TEMPORARILY. UNTIL TODAY. IT STARTED HAPPENING ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN, AND WE PULLED OVER, OPENED THE HOOD, TOOK OFF THE COVER, AND PUSHED DOWN THE FUSES, BUT NONE WERE LOOSE. IT ACTED UP ABOUT 3 MORE TIMES ON THE WAY BACK HOME, AND WE HAD TO TURN AROUND TO GET THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY BEFORE IT JUST DIED ALTOGETHER. WE MISSED AN APPOINTMENT WITH A CUSTOMER (WE DO CONSTRUCTION) BECAUSE OF IT. IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE - WE'RE WORRIED ABOUT GETTING INTO AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF POWER. GM SAYS THEY'RE SYMPATHETIC, BUT THAT DOESN'T FIX IT. WE DON'T NEED SYMPATHY, WE NEED RESULTS! THEY ALSO SAY THEY'VE NOT HEARD OF THE PROBLEM - BULL----. THEY KNOW OF THE PROBLEM, THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THUS FAR, I DON'T THINK ANYONE HAS BEEN KILLED, SO THE BEAN COUNTERS AREN'T RATTLED YET. SO FAR, NO LAWSUITS THAT I KNOW OF - THEY GET TO RIDE OFF INTO THE SUNSET WITH OUR MONEY AND ALL WE GET IS A JUNK TRUCK THAT YOU CAN'T RELY UPON EVEN THOUGH IT ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES.

Summary

FUEL LEAKING/SPRAYING OUT OF THE REAR AUXILIARY FUEL TANK. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I OBSERVED THE RAW FUEL WAS COMING OUT OF THE FUEL MODULE CONNECTING FUEL LINE. THE METAL FUEL LINE SITS IN A WELL OF THE REAR TANK AND WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH DIRT/MOISTURE/RAW FUEL. THE TANK WAS REMOVED AND WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE METAL PORTION OF THE FUEL MODULE METAL PIPING WAS RUSTED THRU AND THAT WAS WHERE THE RAW FUEL WAS BEING SPRAYED/POOLING IN THE WELL AREA. THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK & MODULE CREATES A PERFECT LOCATION FOR DIRT/MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE. ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FIRE AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. THE REMOVED ORIGINAL FUEL MODULE WAS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE ROTTED METAL PORTION OF THE MODULE. I REPLACED THE ROTTED FUEL MODULE WITH A NEW GM OEM FUEL MODULE. THIS NEW MODULE HAS THE SAME EXACT CONSTRUCTION AS THE ORIGINAL PART. SINCE THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO CLEAN OR KEEP CLEAN THE WELL AREA OF THE TANK, I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE NEW OEM PART WILL DETERIORATE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 34000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE CONDITION OCCURRED. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE NEW MODULE COSTS FOR LABOR AND PARTS WAS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00. IN CONCLUSION I THINK THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVING RAW FUEL BEING EJECTED FROM THE FUEL TANK UNDER PRESSURE WHILE THE PUMP IS RUNNING.

Summary

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 SILVERADO AT 33,000 MILES I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE #7 CYLINDER WAS NOT WORKING. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE AFM FOR THE 5.3 LITER ENGINES HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. HALF OF THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CARBON BUILT UP INSIDE THE ENGINE. AGAIN AT 78,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS TO AND DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP AND A ENGINE SOAK WAS PERFORMED ALONG WITH SPLASH GUARDS ADDED TO THE VALVE COVERS TO KEEP THE ENGINE OIL FROM ESCAPING AS THE AFM WAS OPEARTIONAL. AT 98,000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, AT 140,000 MILES THE WATER PUMP, CRANK SHAFT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REBUILD THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MILEAGE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND STARTED USING FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL SINCE MY ENGINE ISSUES AT 33,000 MILES. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE AFM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING. I CONTACT GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY STATED THAT MY TRUCK HASN'T BEEN SEEN AT A DEALERSHIP IN OVER A YEAR, THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINE. BUT, THEY WILL GIVE ME A $1,000 CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW VEHILCE. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, GM JUST TURNS THERE HEADS ON THE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND EXPECTS YOU TO PAY FOR A NEW GM VEHICLE. GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT!!!!

I GOT THIS TRUCK USED AT 94K MILES ON IT. IT WAS STILL IN STANDARD WARRANTY. I GOT THE OIL CHANGED STARTED GETTING THAT CLICKING/KNOCKING NOISE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THAT DID THE OIL CHANGED. THEY LOOKED INTO AND TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY ENGINES IS THE VALVE LIFTERS BREAK AND NEEDS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CAMS. IF I DRIVE TOO MUCH A POSSIBILITY TO ADD SHAVINGS INTO THE MOTOR AND TEAR IT UP. QUOTES FROM 3 DIFFERENT FRIEND RECOMMEND AUTO SHOPS FROM ALL OF THEM TO GET A NEW ENGINE OR GET RID OF THE TRUCK. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT. SO CAN'T DO THAT. I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME AT ALL. I WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND GOOD LUCK. THAT SUCKS! I DID MAKE A SCENE TO THEM IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS. SINCE THEN I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH FINDING OUT THIS IS VERY MUCH A PROBLEM IN ALL CHEVY ENGINES DATING BACK TO 06. THE AFM, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. AT ONE POINT CHEVY DID DO A RECALL FOR A YEAR IN 07-08. FOR THIS PROBLEM. BUT NOT FOR ANY OTHER YEARS I CAN FIND. IF THEY KNEW/KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM WHY NOT SOLVE IT? I HAVE TO FIX THIS TRUCK ITS MY DAILY DRIVER AND WORK VEHICLE. TOTAL HATING CHEVY RIGHT NOW AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY LOVE! I AM A SINGLE MOM AND I KNOW HAVE TO COME UP WITH A NEW ENGINE ABOUT 3,500 THEN ADD LABOR AND SUPPLIES ABOUT 6K TOTAL. NOT HAVE AND VERY STRESSED OUT.

Summary

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE DASH READOUT GAVE A LOW OIL PRESSURE WARNING. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND REPLACED IT AT A COST OF APPROXIMATELY $450.00. FIVE MONTHS LATER THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY TOWING A HORSE TRAILER. I AGAIN HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED INTO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THE OIL WAS LOW AND DID AN OIL CHANGE. THE WARNING LIGHT WAS OFF WHEN WE GOT THE TRUCK BACK. THE LATEST INCIDENT HAPPENED ON 4/18/2015. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO AN AUTO PARTS STORE WHERE THEY READ THE FAULT CODE. THE CODE IS P0521 - OIL PRESSURE SENSOR OR OIL LOW. I CHECKED THE OIL IT WAS NEARLY FULL BUT I ADDED A LITTLE ANYWAY. THE LIGHT STAYED ON. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE DEALER. THE LIGHT WENT OFF THE DAY BEFORE OUR APPOINTMENT. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME THAT THE TRUCK PROBABLY NEEDS AN OIL PUMP AND A VALVE COVER AND IT WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $1075.00 TO FIX. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF OWNER COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES DOCUMENTING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING. THERE APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE DESIGN OF THE OIL SYSTEM IN THESE VEHICLES. MY TRUCK JUST WENT OUT OF WARRANTY IN DECEMBER 2014. THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR EVEN THOUGH I HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR REPAIRS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THIS APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS PRODUCT DEFECT AND GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL. *TR

Summary

LOCKS STARTED LOCKING/UNLOCKING. GEAR INDICATOR WAS GOING FROM DRIVE TO PARK. HEAT CAME ON BY ITSELF AND FAN WENT FROM HIGH TO LOW. SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM 70MPH TO 55 MPH WITH LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF. AFTER PULLING OFF I-75 AND GETTING TO A SAFE STOPPING AREA THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FELT EXTREMELY HOT: ESPECIALLY THE BATTERY. AFTER 10 MINUTES, THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO START AND CONTINUE THE REST OF THE TRIP. AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS CHEVY FORUMS AND CAR MESSAGE BOARDS. REPLACING THE MEGA FUSE AND BATTERY CABLES APPEARS TO SOLVE THE MAJORITY OF THE ISSUES AS IT DID IN MY CASE. THE DEFECTIVE MEGA FUSE AND BATTERY CABLES CAUSED THE EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE THROUGH THE CABLES, CAUSING EXTREME HEAT WHICH RESULTED IN SCORCH MARKS ON THE TERMINAL ENDS OF THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE INSULATION OF THE CABLES CHANGING COLOR AS WELL AS THE ABOVE ISSUES. I AM VERY GRATEFUL THAT AN ELECTRICAL FIRE DIDN'T HAPPEN WHICH I BELIEVE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN THE CASE. *TR

IT HAS BEEN FINE UNTIL RECENTLY, WHEN IT CAME ON AGAIN AND MY BRAKE LIGHTS WERE STICKING ON, SO I REPLACED THE BRAKE SWITCH AGAIN. SO, FAR IT'S STAYED OFF. MY CONCERN IS THAT MY TRUCK MY START HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AS OUR OTHER GM VEHICLE, WHICH ALSO INVOLVES THE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL/REDUCED POWER LIGHTS COMING ON. REDUCED POWER IS DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING, ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ GM FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING AS FAR BACK AS 6 YEARS, AND GM STILL HAS NOT FIGURED OUT HOW TO FIX IT.

THE BRAKES ON THIS SILVERADO DO NOT RELEASE. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN THEN THEY WILL "POP" AND BECOME FREE ALL AT ONCE LUNGING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. YOU THEN HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE AGAIN DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF THROTTLE APPLIED. ONCE APPLIED AGAIN THE BRAKES WILL LOCK UP AND THE PROCESS REPEATS ITSELF. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN IN TRAFFIC. IF THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 20 MPH OR UNDER WHEN FOOT IS NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR THE TRUCK WILL APPLY THE BRAKES ON ITS OWN PULSING AND SURGING. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND TRYING TO NAVIGATE THROUGH PARKING LOTS AND ROADS WITH PEDESTRIANS. *TR

ALSO THE TWO DOOR HANDLES ONE BEING THE DRIVER FRONT AND THE OTHER BEING PASSENGER FRONT THE CHROME FINISH SEEMS TO BE DEFECTIVE AND NOT STAYING ADHERED O THE HANDLE AND COME OFF IN SHARP EDGES MAKING IT EASY TO CUT YOU HAND. AS THE DEALERSHIP KNOWS THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE THEY USED ON THESE TRUCKS THE 2 ISSUES ON HERE ARE NOT JUST ON 1 VEHICLE BUT NUMEROUS SILVERADO TAHOES AND TRUCKS WITH THE SAME DASH AND HANDLES. IT SEEMS LIKE THEY POSE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE HANDLE MAY CUT YOU AND THE DASH MAY PROJECT SHARP PIECES IF JAGGED PLASTIC IF INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. MYSELF AND MANY OTHERS FEEL THAT THE GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES AND AS THE VEHICLE MANUFACTURES SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX A DEFECTIVE AND DANGEROUS PRODUCT THEY PUT OUT WITH THE FORM OF A RECALL.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY CHECKED EVERYTHING AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG. NO CODES WERE STORED. THEY INSPECTED THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK AND THE BATTERY PIN TENSION, BOTH WERE GOOD. THE VEHICLE HAS RUN FINE WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL NOVEMBER 2014, NOW IT HAS STARTED DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS IT WAS DOING IN JANUARY.

ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE FUEL GAUGE ON MY 2009 SILVERADO READ FULL, WHEN IT WAS ACTUALLY NEAR EMPTY. THE FIRST TIME WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT ON HWY 395 IN CALIFORNIA. THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE WAS OVER 100 DEGREES. I KNEW I HAD DRIVEN TOO FAR FOR THE GAUGE THE BE CORRECT. THERE ARE VERY FEW GAS STATIONS ON THAT ROAD. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ON THE SAME ROAD A YEAR LATER DRIVING THROUGH THE DESERT. I FINALLY REALIZED THE PROBLEM WAS THE HEAT, WHEN IT HAPPENED AT MY HOME TOWN IN JAMUL, CA WHEN IT WAS OVER 100 DEGREES. THE LOW FUEL WARNING NEVER CAME ON AND THE GAUGE SAID FULL. I TURNED THE TRUCK ON AND OFF AND IT STILL SAID FULL. THE GAUGE CORRECTED AFTER I ADDED FUEL. I INQUIRED AT THE DEALER IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOT. *TR

Vehicle Identification Number: 1GCEC29C19Z******
Summary

EXTREME CHATTERING OF THE REAR BRAKES UPON APPLICATION WAS OBSERVED BY THE OWNER/DRIVER, INCLUDING LOCK-UP OF THE REAR WHEELS (EVEN THOUGH ABS EQUIPPED). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AUTONATION CHEVROLET SUPERSTITION SPRINGS DEALERSHIP (6330 E. SUPERSTITION SPRINGS BLVD, MESA, ARIZONA 85206) FOR INSPECTION AND REPAIR (SELLING DEALER). THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED THE OWNER THAT BOTH REAR BRAKE SLAVE CYLINDERS HAD FAILED AND LEAKED HYDRAULIC FLUID ONTO THE LININGS. THIS LEAKAGE HAD CAUSED THE STICKING OF THE LININGS TO THE BRAKE DRUMS AND RESULTING CHATTERING/LOCKUP OF THE BRAKES. POST REPAIR, THERE HAVE BEEN NO FURTHER ISSUES IN THE LAST 3000 MILES OF USE. THE REPAIR WAS AT THE EXPENSE OF THE CUSTOMER. AS THIS OCCURRED AT 36094 MILES AND FOUR YEARS OF SERVICE IN RESIDENTIAL USE, I CONSIDER THIS A PRODUCT FAILURE DUE TO SOME FORM OF MANUFACTURING AND/OR INSTALLATION DEFECT WITH THE BRAKE SLAVE CYLINDERS. IN 40+ YEARS OF AUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIP OF MANY BRANDS WITH MILEAGES INTO THE 140K+ RANGE, I HAVE NEVER HAD A SLAVE CYLINDER FAILURE, NOR HAVE I EVER HEARD OF A DUAL FAILURE. THIS WAS THE SAME COMMENT BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER. PLEASE INVESTIGATE, OR AT A MINIMUM, ADD THIS TO YOUR WATCH LIST DATABASE. I REVIEWED THE NHTSA'S WEBSITE LIST OF DEFECTS, BUT FOUND NOTHING REGARDING THIS TYPE OF INCIDENT. THE FACT THAT IT WAS A DUAL COMPONENT FAILURE AND COULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT IF HARD BRAKING HAD BEEN REQUIRED BY THE OPERATOR, THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. I ATTEMPTED TO DO SO PERSONALLY, BUT FOUND THE EXPERIENCE UNSATISFACTORY. *TR

Summary

USED THE VEHICLE FOR VACATION IN 2011 AS IT WAS JUST 1 YEAR OLD. VERY LITTLE BRAKE PED LEFT GOING DOWN HILL. GOING DOWN HILL AND STEP ON THE BRAKE AND THERE WAS A BAD VIBRATION AND GROWLING NOISE FROM THE BRAKES. I HAD IT CHECKED AND THE DEALER GROUND THE BRAKE ROTORS. THIS NEVER SOLVED THE PROBLEM, SO THEY REPLACED THE ROTORS. THIS SOLVED THE PROBLEM FOR THE WARPED ROTORS FOR A WHILE. NOW THE PROBLEM STARTED AGAIN WITH 23000 MILES AND ONLY GROWLS AND VIBRATES WHEN GOING DOWN HILL WHERE YOU HAVE TO STEP DOWN A LITTLE HARDER. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN AND THEY SAY THE ROTORS ARE WARPED AGAIN. I REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PUT NEW BRAKE PADS ON AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. I DO NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE HARD AND ONLY ABOUT 4000 MILES PER YEAR. WHATS CAUSING THE BRAKE ROTORS TO KEEP WARPING. *TR

Summary

AFTER UNLOCKING THE MANUAL DOOR LOCK ON THE TRUCK THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR. THE LOCK WAS DISCONNECTED FROM THE INTERIOR LOCKING MECHANISM, EFFECTIVELY TRAPPING ME IN MY VEHICLE. AT THIS TIME I UNROLLED THE WINDOW AND USED THE KEY IN THE OUTSIDE DOOR TO TRY TO UNLOCK THE DOOR, BUT THE LOCK WAS JAMMED AND I WAS UNABLE TO LEAVE MY VEHICLE USING EITHER THE INSIDE OR THE OUTSIDE HANDLE OR LOCKS OR THE DRIVER DOOR. I WAS FORCED TO EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR. THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM AND SEEMS TO OCCUR MOST OFTEN AFTER RAINFALL OR A CAR WASH. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, CAR FIRE OR WATER CRASH OR OTHER EMERGENCY THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE FATAL AND SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PROTECT PEOPLE FROM BEING TRAPPED IN THEIR VEHICLES. IT IS ALSO NOTABLE THAT CONSUMER REPORTS HAS LISTED "LOCKS AND LATCHES" AS A COMMON PROBLEM AREA FOR A 2009 SILVERADO. I CONTACTED A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED FULLY COVER THE REPAIR COST, WHICH WAS WELL OVER $250 AND THEY STATED THAT THE "DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR WAS DEFECTIVE". THE CORPORATE GM PHONE CALL CENTER WAS NOT HELPFUL AND TOLD ME IT WOULD NOT BE FULLY COVERED BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS JUST OUT OF BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PROTECT CONSUMERS. *TR

MY 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WAS PARKED FOR TWO DAYS. IT WAS RUNNING PERFECTLY UP UNTIL IT WAS PARKED..AFTER TWO DAYS OF BEING PARKED IN THE RAIN,THE REAR TAIL LIGHT SUDDENLY WENT ON BY ITSELF. I OPENED THE DOOR TO THE VEHICLE TO SEE HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN AND THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LIGHT WAS ON. I PUT THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION AND IT WAS TOTALLY DEAD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND LIFTED OFF THE FUSE PANEL COVER,BECAUSE THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF BURNING. THEN,THERE WAS SMOKE. I IMMEDIATELY DISCONNECTED THE BATTERY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALER. AFTER PICKING IT UP TODAY,THEY CHARGED ME $1555 TO REPAIR,YET COULD NOT PROVIDE A LOGICAL REASON WHY THIS HAPPENED! THEY SAID"CORROSION" IN THE FUSE PANEL. HOW COULD A VEHICLE MADE IN 2009 WITH 72,000 MILES HAVE A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS WITHOUT A MAJOR ISSUE BEING WRONG? I FEAR FOR OTHER'S SAFETY,AS I BELIEVE THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE GOING ON. PER MY RESEARCH,THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN THAT EXPLAINS THE PROBLEM. PIT-5090. THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH WATER BEING ALLOWED TO ENTER THE FUSE PANEL BOX DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND THE POOR INSTALLATION FROM THE FACTORY OF A RUBBER SEAL. VERY SERIOUS ISSUE! PLEASE INVESTIGATE!!!

THE VEHICLES DAMAGE WAS ON THE FRONT END DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER CAUSING A WEDGE INTO THE RADIATOR, ENGINE AND BENT THE FRONT OF THE FRAME. THE IMPACT WAS VERY LOUD AND SOLID.

THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY WHICH AT THE SPEED OF AROUND 60 MPH AND THE PLACE THE VEHICLE WAS HIT IN, MAKES ME VERY CONCERNED ON THE SAFETY OF THIS VEHICLE. MY 5 YEAR OLD SON SAID HIS RIGHT ARM WAS HURTING AFTER THE ACCIDENT AND WITH IN THE HOUR OF HAVING THE ACCIDENT MYSELF ENDED UP IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A STIFF NECK AND A VERY SOAR AND BRUISED BACK, I WAS RELEASED WITH MINOR INJURIES AND I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF ANYTHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS SITUATION AND THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY SON. *TR

YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOORS WITH THE HANDLE FROM INSIDE THE TRUCK IF DOORS ARE LOCKED. PULLING ON HANDLE WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO UNTIL YOU USE THE UNLOCK BUTTON. IF YOU ARE IN A CRASH YOUR INSTINCT WOULD BE THE USE THE HANDLE NOT TO UNLOCK IT FIRST. *TR

Summary

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM CLASSIC CHEVROLET IN GRAPEVINE, TX IN JANUARY 2010. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS I HAD THE VEHICLE, I HAD NO PROBLEMS. STARTING IN MARCH 2010 I NOTICED THAT MY RADIO(NAVIGATION SYSTEM) WOULD SOUND LIKE IT WOULD SHORT OUT INTERMITTENTLY. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK ANYTHING OF IT. I THOUGHT THAT IT HAD TO BE THE RADIO STATION OR INTERFERENCE WITH OTHER WIRELESS SIGNALS. I NEVER REALLY THOUGHT IT WOULD BECOME A PROBLEM UNTIL RECENTLY. ON 5/5/2012, I WAS TRAVELING 70MPH AT NIGHT DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN, ALL OF A SUDDEN, MY ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMED LIKE IT WAS "RESETTING" ITSELF MULTIPLE TIMES. FROM DOOR LOCKS TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, TO NAVIGATION SYSTEM, TO EVEN HEADLIGHTS, EVERYTHING CYCLED MORE THAN 3 OR 4 TIMES IN RAPID SUCCESSION. I WAS MERELY DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, I HADN'T JUST TOUCHED ANYTHING, I WAS JUST CRUISING ALONG. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT IS APPARENT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AMONG THIS DESIGN OF THE SILVERADO. FORUM AFTER FORUM HAS OWNERS DESCRIBING THIS SAME ISSUE AND MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN THAT COULD END UP KILLING SOMEONE. HEADLIGHTS AND RUNNING LIGHTS THAT TURN OFF WITHOUT CAUSE? WHAT IF THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS AFFECTED AND IT CAUSES A PREMATURE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHILE SOMEONE IS TRAVELING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED? THIS IS NOT AND ISOLATED ISSUE AND THE GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO STEP IN TO FORCE GENERAL MOTORS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT GENERAL MOTORS MAY BE AWARE OF THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE 2011 AND 2012 SILVERADOS HAVE HAD DESIGN CHANGES MADE TO THEIR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.(I READ THIS IN FORUMS AS WELL.) *TR

Summary

WARPED FRONT ROTORS BOTH WHEELS. WHILE DRIVING GOING DOWN A HILL, THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD START SHAKING. I AM A RETIRED MASTER MECHANIC WITH OVER 30 YEARS EXPERIENCE SPECIALIZING IN BRAKES. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES WITH THIS COMPLAINT. THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE COMPLAINT BECAUSE OF NOT TEST DRIVING DOWN A HILL. TEST DRIVE WAS ON A FLAT SURFACE. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHILE DRIVING DOWN A HILL. I WAS WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AFTER SO MANY SERVICE VISITS, I FINALLY CALLED GENERAL MOTORS IN DETROIT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. GENERAL MOTORS REPLACED THE ROTORS AS A GOODWILL GESTURE. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT RE-OCCURRED AFTER ROTOR REPLACEMENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE ON GRADES OR EVER SMALL SLOPES. THE VEHICLE FREE ROLLS AS FAST AS YOU WILL LET IT IN OVER DRIVE, 3RD GEAR, 1ST OR 2ND. THERE IS NO ENGINE BREAKING AT ALL. GM SAYS THIS IS PROPER OPERATION FOR THE VEHICLE, AND THERE IS NO SOFTWARE OR MECHANICAL FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2004 OF THE SAME MODEL AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY, WITH VERY EFFECTIVE SPEED CONTROL. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE, AND ACTUALLY IN MY OPINION CANNOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE CRUISE CONTROL AT ALL. MY DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THIS IS AN ONGOING COMPLAINT, THAT GM WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE AS A DEFINITE DEFECT IN DESIGN. THE SAME DAY MY VEHICLE WAS BEING EXAMINED, THE LOCAL POLICE HAD ONE OF THEIR TRUCKS OF THE SAME MODEL YEAR IN THE SHOP WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT CANNOT USE THIS OPTION ON THE VEHICLE, I CAN ONLY RIDE MY BREAKS DOWN SLOPES TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. *TR

I HAVE A 2009 SILVERADO CREW CAB THAT CAME WITH GOODYEAR EAGLE LS-2 TIRES--DOT M62A BCER. ALSO, MY SILVERADO CAME WITH A TIRE MONITORING SYSTEM. ON 1 MAY 2010 I WAS DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA OF WYLIE, TEXAS, VERY SLOWLY, PROBABLY AROUND 5 MPH BECAUSE THERE WERE CARS PARKED ON BOTH SIDES OF THE STREET AND PEOPLE STANDING BY THEIR VEHICLES TALKING. IMMEDIATELY AFTER PASSING BETWEEN THE CARS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE BACK TIRE COLLAPSED, APPARENTLY A BLOWOUT. I CALLED MY INSURANCE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE THAT CHANGED MY TIRES. I ASKED THE MAN WHO CHANGED MY TIRES IF HE HAD A COMPRESSOR ON HIS TOW TRUCK, AND HE DID. BECAUSE HE OR I NEITHER ONE COULD SEE ANY NAILS NOR ANYTHING ELSE PROTRUDING INTO THE TIRE, I ASKED HIM TO AIR THE TIRE UP.

Summary

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 CREW 4X4. I RECENTLY HAD COLLISION BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. I COLLIDED WITH A TOYOTA CAMRY BACKING OUT OF A SPACE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE AISLE. WE BASICALLY HIT REAR CORNER TO REAR CORNER. MY COMPLAINT IS THE EXTENT OF DAMAGE TO THE TRUCK ON SUCH A LOW SPEED COLLISION. VISUAL DAMAGE: RIGHT BUMPER END (3 PIECE OUTER BUMPER) IS BENT IN AND UP SLIGHTLY. REAR OF BED SIDE PANEL IS BENT IN AND UP SLIGHTLY REAR LIGHT IS CRACKED THERE IS A DENT(BUCKLE) IN THE BED SIDE PANEL ABOVE THE WHEEL WELL, ABOUT THE SIZE OF A HAND. 3 ESTIMATES: (1 DEALER, 1 PRIVATE SHOP, 1 GM PREFERRED COLLISION CENTER) PARTS NEEDED; NEW REAR BUMPER NEW BUMPER RE INFORCEMENT NEW TAIL LIGHT NEW TRUCK BED SIDE PANEL.(YES, THE WHOLE SIDE PANEL!) ESTIMATES FOR DAMAGE REPAIRS; $2600 DEALER $2600 PRIVATE $3200 GM AUTHORIZED COLLISION CENTER ABOUT 50/50 PARTS & LABOR THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE A TRAILER HITCH BRACE THAT IS MOST LIKELY BENT. DUE TO LIABILITY OF POTENTIAL FAILURE, ALL SAY IF THIS EVEN LOOKS DAMAGED, WILL REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. ADD $400. DEALER AND GM COLLISION CENTER GEN MGR SAY THE BUMPER DESIGN OF THE NEW SILVERADO BODY STYLE "SUCKS"! THE CENTER SECTION OF THE BUMPER CAN TAKE DIRECT, FLUSH IPACT JUST FINE. THE END SECTIONS WILL BE DESTROYED IN EVEN A LOW SPEED IMPACT. THE KILLER IS THE DAMAGE TO THE SIDE BED PANELS. BECAUSE THE REAR OF PANEL IS A SINGLE WALL OF SHEET METAL, UN REINFORCED, IT BUCKLES LIKE FABRIC AT EVEN THE LIGHTEST TOUCH. YOU COULD BEND IT IN BY HAND IF YOU PUSH HARD ENOUGH. SINCE THERE IS NO WAY TO PULL OUT THIS PANEL DUE TO ITS UN REINFORCED SHEET METAL DESIGN, THE MOST COST EFFECTIVE REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE PANEL. THEY SELL THE TRUCK CHEAP! THEY MAKE A FORTUNE ON REPLACEMENT PARTS BECAUSE OF THE CHEAP DESIGN QUALITY. WORD TO THE WISE: GET THE REAR BACKING SENSORS! IT WILL SAVE YOU $3000. IT WOULDN'T HELP IN MY CASE AS I STILL HAD ANOTHER MOVING VEHICLE. NO FAULT COLLISION. *TR
