Severe frame rot on driver side beneath the cab. Just noticed it today July 13, 2026.

I noticed the gas tank was listing to one end and not level. I noticed one of the tank straps had rusted away and I took the truck to a mechanic to replace the strap. The mechanic showed me that practically the majority of the frame was rusted away. There was nothing substantial enough for the straps to attach to. Are there many cases of the frame disintegrating on this model truck. I would be satisfied if the frame was replaced as I believe the manufacturer failed in protecting these frames from rusting away. I have been looking for a frame for a reasonable price and have not found one yet. I will also need someone to remove the old one and install the new one. I have not driven the truck because I am afraid it could collapse on the road if driven.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed and stopping at a stop light, the accelerator pedal was depressed, and the accelerator pedal became stuck, and the engine unexpectedly revved to 5,000 RPM. The contact stated that the accelerator pedal failed to release. The brake pedal was depressed several times within 15 seconds, and the engine stopped revving. No warning lights were illuminated. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 146,250.

Odometer Fraud. The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While the vehicle was being registered with the Department of Motor Vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of the purchase, the mileage was approximately 141,000 and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was approximately 230,925.

Dash is cracked in several places

Rusted Frame and body

I got the code p2138 and I’ve had it inspected and throttle body and accelerator pedal assembly replaced. The problem is still not fixed. I lost power driving to work and heavy vibration and shaking. If I pull out in a turn and someone is coming up fast and this happens again it reduces my engine power and could cause a crash. Problem has been confirmed by a licensed mechanic, AutoZone, oreillys, and an independent mechanic. There was absolutely no warning this was gonna happen. It happened and I’ve spent $3,000 on replacement and labor costs trying to figure this out.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that the frame of the vehicle was significantly rusted, and the contact did not feel safe driving the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the frame was inspected. The dealer informed the contact that the frame needed to be replaced; however, the repair fee would supersede the value of the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered monetary assistance towards the purchase of a new vehicle. The contact related the failure to TSB Number: 19-NA-255. The failure mileage was approximately 139,000.

I have been shopping for a truck for a little over a year now specifically a 2012 Chevy Silverado. To date everyone I found has frame and body rust but the frame rust is so bad that most aren’t safe to drive.

I HAVE A SEVERE ENGINE STALL AT SLIGHT ACCELERATION IT FEELS LIKE THE TIRES ARE GOING TO LOCK UP OR BREAK SOMETHING IN THE DRIVE TRAIN DEALER SAYS MY COMPLAINT IS NORMAL

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while her son was driving at low speeds during snow weather, the driver-side air bag deployed on its own without a crash or impact with an object. As a result, the driver lost visibility and control of the vehicle resulting in a crashing into a telephone pole and then a ditch where it came to a stop. It was unknown if a warning light illuminated. The paramedics were called and performed a check; however, the contact's son sustained no injuries. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the residence. A dealer was not contacted. The insurance company was contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

I took my truck for a routine service with the dealership. The Service Rep told me that my truck frame was rusting out to the point where it's near unsafe to drive. He told me it'd be 15k to replace the frame. I find it incredible that a 12 year old American made vehicle can have the frame rust out so fast and to such a degree without the dealership or manufacturer knowing that there is a potential safety risk in their product.

Airbag light came on indicating an issue. Went to dealer and the codes that came up are B0030 (Passenger Instrument Panel Air Bag Deployment Loop Stage 2 Short to Ground) and B0413 (Temperature Control 1 Feed back Circuit Actuator Stuck). It cost $597.67 to have a new airbag installed. I worry others couldn't afford this and it should be covered by the mfg due to the safety risk created from the vendor creating airbags that do not last the life of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was at the Walmart Tire Center for tire replacement, the contact was informed that the tires could not be replaced. The contact was informed that the front driver's side frame was corroded and had holes. The contact was advised to stop driving the vehicle. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact was advised to bring the vehicle to the dealer for inspection. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The contact was offered a 1-10 percent discount on the purchase of another vehicle. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 181,000.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, her husband observed corrosion and holes in front of the gas tank and the frame of the vehicle. Additionally, the contact stated that while driving at approximately 45 MPH, the ABS, traction control, and steering stabilizer warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

Engine power reduced warning keeps coming on. As well as stabilitrak and traction control turns off. Code p2138 pops up. I’ve spent over $1,000 trying to get this fixed because it is unsafe to drive it like that. It will be fixed for 1 or 2 weeks and then it’s time to take it to the shop again. So many people have this issue.

The frame has rust holes and rusted through the bottom on the driver side.

i took the car to the GM dealer to fix the recalled item and was told the dashboard will crack and will need to be replaced when they pull the airbag out and i will need to pay for new dash board....i told them not to fix it....

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle decelerated without the brake pedal being depressed. In addition, the vehicle veered to the left independently. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer; however, the cause of the failure was not yet determined. The contact self-diagnosed the vehicle using a scanner the vehicle and it was determined that the front passenger’s side wheel speed sensor had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000.

The trailer hitch assembly has rusted to the point where it is barely being held to truck frame. It is available for inspection (I do not know how to attach photos to this notice but can e-mail if provided with your address) Have been advised by Chevrolet dealership service manager not to use the hitch under any circumstance. Do not know if any other portion of frame assembly is compromised, nor can this be determined accurately by me. But if other portions of the frame are “rusted out “ the danger is grave: the tubular structural element to which the hitch assembly is attached is the same diameter and thickness as the tubular structural supports which link the lengthwise H elements of the vehicle frame. It is therefore reasonable to conclude these structural components may lack structural integrity due to possible rust and perforations Concluding; 1. the hitch assembly is an integral part the vehicle’s structure. Failure would threaten the life of occupants as a trailer broke loose and swerved.. Others in proximity to the flailing or loose trailer would also be threatened. 2. Given the affected element is similar to other structural iparts used in the vehicle’s frame, failure of their structural integrity may cause failure of a portion of the frame, leading to additional risks to occupants, surrounding humans, vehicles and property. 3. The rusted assembly is not easily visible so that a warning to owners highlighting this potential risk to life should be sent ASAP. 4. Inspection of undercarriages of this and similar vehicles should be mandated to determine the existence of rust-damaging structural integrity. 5. Proper metallurgy/coating/reinforcement or redesign should be mandated of manufacturers.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, he became aware that the front and rear sub frame were extremely rusted. The contact also stated the shock tube had detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the front and rear sub frame needed to be replaced. The dealer was not contacted, and the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 72,000.

2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck has very extensive frame damage for 115k miles which has caused it to be unsafe to drive and basically scrap. I am the 2nd owner of the truck. When I bought it at 70k miles it definitely had rust on the frame, but no major holes. It has now rusted through in multiple spots. Is there anything that I can do or am I pretty much out of luck?

dealer told me that they will replace the passenger airbag but i need to sign a paper saying that if the dash board breaks while they work on it then they are not responsible and i need to pay to repair whatever damage there may be, they also said GM or Tekada would not pay to damage to dashboard because its old.....i did not let them replace airbag. my name is [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Rydell Chevrolet in Northridge CA. 818-832-1616 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Rotted frame after 9 years old truck

The body and frame are rusted so bad they wouldn't inspect it unless the y would weld on the frame only has 73000 miles

I bought this truck new and the frame is rotted. I have 93000 miles and it is garaged year round. I also purchased a rust preventive electronic device with the vehicle. I have noticed wax coating that has come off in the past and sprayed with fluid film. I just found a hole yesterday and looked further and believe after doing some research that this is a constant problem with the Silverado and GM has not been held accountable for inferior frame rails. My truck body is in excellent shape for the year. I understand I live in a state that teats their roads unnescessarily, but this is absolutely absurd. Toyota had the same issue and took care of their customers Gm should do the same.Thank you

Rear frame by the gas tank. The truck could break while hauling a load putting myself and any other motorists in danger. Widricks auto inspected the vehicle truck failed inspection due to multiple holes in the frame. No symptoms seemed present. I bought the vehicle on 3/10/20

While driving down interstate my transmission just went out down shifted almost causing someone to hit me from behind after some research I learned gmc vehicles have been having this problem for the last 10 years but yet keep using the same transmissions it's not right the money they selling these vehicles for and we the little people have to pay for them knowing the problem but not caring just one man's opinion guess that how the rich get richer

THE FRAME HAS RUSTED OUT AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. LEFT TIRE IS ALMOST SNAPPED AND YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND THROUGH THE RUST IN FRAME. HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY 2 MECHANICS. I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE BABIED THIS TRUCK SINCE THE FIRST DAY I GOT IT IN 2014. ADDITIONAL DEFECT IS THE TAILGATE WONT STATE SHUT, MUST CLOSE 3-4 TIMES FOR IT TO REMAIN CLOSED.

Rotten frame. Trucks body and other components are in very good to fair condition. Found out after I bought it GMC is having major issues with frame failure and have not yet remedied the issue. I think they should be required to fix these frames or buy back the vehicles at a fair price to both parties. This is a major safety issue especially if either the owner is not aware or does not have the means to simply eat the cost of a truck that cost anywhere form 15,000 to the mid 20,000s. It is not right to the consumer to sell vehicles that can't structurally make it past 100,000 mile mark. Also I would like to report that dealers (at least the one I bought it off of) are not notifying customers of these issues and also in my case undercoating over the rotten frame to pass a basic consumers inspection. Not good for road safety and not good for the consumer.

2012 Chevy Silverado rotted frame. The contact stated that the sway bar was so rusted that it broke in half and was replaced. The front struts were also super rusted. The contact does not feel comfortable driving the vehicle until the issues are addressed.

Had an inspection done and was told that the frame is partially rusted through. We took it to our dealership to be fixed and was told there was nothing they could do because Chevy does not want the liability of fixing rusted frames for its 2010-2013 models. I also found this to be true with local body shops in my area so basically our 11,000.00 vehicle is junk. After my research, this seems to be a common problem with Chevy and should be investigated. They should be ashamed of their business tactics by putting people's lives in jeopardy

Frame and suspension components are complete rusted and rotting off of frame. I am afraid to drive the truck in fear of it falling apart on me while on the road.

truck frame on both sides of vehicle is rusting through, requiring structural repair. Truck has been carefully maintained and the body is generally rust free. I am the original owner and am nowhere near salt water. Truck has been garage-kept since purchase. If left undetected, structural collapse could have caused injury or death. Damage was confirmed by tire shop[Discount Tire in Gaylord,MI.] on 9/7/23. No prior indication of excessive rust.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated he purchased the vehicle at a used dealer on March 13, 2023, and the anti-lock braking systems (ABS), the traction control sensor, and the brake warning light illuminated. The contact took the vehicle back to the used dealer on 3 different occasions and had the anti-lock braking systems (ABS) sensor replaced and inspected the brakes. The dealer stated no failure was found when inspecting the vehicle. The contact stated while approaching an intersection another vehicle made a left turn and intercepted in his lane on the right side, he depressed the brake pedal but failed to stop or slow down the vehicle, causing it to crash into the other vehicle. The contact stated the vehicle continued moving forward while depressing the brake pedal. The vehicle jumped a curb and crashed into a building and stopped the vehicle. The contact states the front driver side air bag deployed. The contact sustained leisure on his back muscles, had whiplash and leisure on the left side of his head and arm due to the air bag deployment. The contact stated he was taken to the hospital by ambulance to seek medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was towed to a towing lot. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 192,000.

THE FRAME IS RUSTING OUT. THE REAR SHOCK MOUNT IS RUSTED ON BOTHE SHOCKS. THE MAIN FRAME RAIL IS RUSTED AND HAS HOLES IN THE FRAME. BEFORE LONG THIS WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM IF THE FRAME GIVES WAY. THE REAR WHEEL WELLS ARE ALSO RUSTED ABOVE THE TIRES ON BOTH SIDE. IT WAS INSPECTED BY A BODY REPAIR AND SAID FRAME WILL NEED REPLACED ALONG WITH TWO BED PANELS

December 2022, General Motors-Onstar system was deactivated in million of vehicles across America. This system was sold as a MAIN SAFETY and SECURITY system, integrated in millions of General Motor products was advertised as next generation Safety. This system allowed active subscribers the peace of mind that in the event of an emergency, they had us covered. motor vehicle collision detection for the event that you crashed, they could send first responders. If the vehicle was stolen, they had safe methods to locate and disable the vehicle. If you locked your keys in the vehicle with your child or pet, they could unlock it for you. In 2015 Canada "sunsetted" their 2G network which in turn would have disable Onstar for millions of Canadian vehicle owners across Canada. General Motors-Onstar offered FREE HARDWARE UPGRADES to keep Onstar active for whomever wanted and chose to keep the Onstar system working for them. Please refer to https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10089229-2280.pdf and https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10166666-9999.pdf. What about the vehicles sold in America? What about the people who purchased General Motor products for the specific reason of Onstar peace of mind? The people who want the system to function as it should? What if I do not have my cell phone with me in a remote location and I crash my truck at 70 mph? No Onstar to alert first responders. What if I accidentally lock my grandchild and keys in my car? Must i now break a window instead of calling Onstar and asking for an emergency unlock? And a very important one for me as many others. What if my vehicle gets stolen. Now there is no way to locate it. There is no way for Onstar to SAFELY shut it down so it could be recovered. I paid yearly for Onstar services for that exact peace of mind as did MANY OTHERS. There is even a petition where people are saying that if given the choice, they, like myself, would gladly pay to have the system upgraded like they did for Canada.

The contact owns a Safety-First car seat, Model Type: Onboard 35 LT, Model Number: IC354GAJ, Manufactured Date: March 23, 2022. The car seat was being utilized in a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that the car seat failed to fit securely into the stroller and car seat base. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The car seat was not repaired or replaced.

1. Serious frame rust found (holes punched on the inside frame rails, middle of truck). We have yet to check the rest of the truck. The truck was originally coated by ziebart ~3 times, coated with rust protective paint for maintenance (myself). The rust could not be slowed. 2. Myself including passengers could be hurt if this frame fails. Could cause accident if the failure occurs in traffic. 3. Issue confirmed by frame inspection by independent service center (Motor City Rustproofing). The application was not applied since the frame rust was discovered. 4 Not yet 5. No warning lamps, messages or other systems as of yet. 6. This vehicle is used for general cargo in the bed and hauling a 28ft. travel trailer and I'm concerned the frame will fail and cause health and safety issues. 7. Rust will occur in general, but this scenario is much more severe for an 11 year old truck and was most likely present a few years before today's inspection. 8. The truck is passed the corrosion warranty of 100K miles & May of 2018, but the severity of the rust is highly out range for this vehicle. 9. Can this be looked into as I'm now reading these trucks are severely affected for year 2009-2014. Most cases I read with sever rust are mostly parted out of junked if they cannot be safely repaired. 10. The rest of the truck is in great condition and has many more years of life and I'll like to keep it. 11. Some sample pics will be attached for has been found so far.

extensive frame corrosion, on the box frame, all the way through the frame. The Box frame corroded from the inside out.

EXCESSIVE CORROSION TO CHASSIS FRAME. INTERNET LINKS STATE THERE WAS A FRAME RECALL FOR THE 2012 CHEVY SILVERADO PICKUP BECAUSE GM DID NOT TREAT THE CHASSIS FRAME DURING MANUFACTURING.

Oil consumption on 2011 to 2014 Chevy Silverado engine related issues on the 5.3 liter v8 flex fuel engine. Vehicle produced a service engine soon light on 9/27/2022 so I took it to the local Chevy dealer mechanic. They inspect it and determine that it was a misfire in cylinder 7. They went to run it through my warranty that I purchased when I baught the vehicle 2 years ago. They advised that it would not be covered so to it being an oil consumption issue. They advised that to fix the issue permanently it would cost $3,600 to fix. Being that this is a known issue GM should be issuing a recall to correct this. I only have 60000 miles on the vehicle and the engine is basically junk without the fix. I do not have the repair invoice at the this time as it is currently in the shop with the local Chevy dealer The mechanic advised that this is a known issue with all Silverado’s between 2011 and 2014 and that GM knew this was an issue and that eventually the engine will sieze if you don’t have the pistons and rings replaced. This is a country wide problem and appears there is a possible class action lawsuit due to GM knowing this was an issue and in 2014 GM re-engineered the 5.3 vortec to correct this issue. In addition it is a known issue another problem is the rear wheel wells rusting on all Silverado’s. This should also be looked into Thank you for your time and consideration!

Crash Impact Sensor in the drivers side front door has lost communication with the vehicle's airbag computer. Vehicle information display reports the fault and illuminates the red dashboard airbag light. This condition caused by wire harness / conductor fatigue between drivers side door and vehicle body. Observed that if driver's side door moved to certain positions while open the fault would clear. Eventually these wires in the door harness failed due to normal open / close cycles with the door upon entry / exit and now have completely failed so that the dashboard airbag lamp stays illuminated at all times. I have a 2010 Toyota Venza that has a recall on the same type of issue. Why is GM not recalling vehicles for this issue? My dealer has acknowledged that they have seen this issue, but no recall has been issued so they are not able to address it as such.

Fuel line at fuel pump corroded causing fuel to leak under pressure from fuel pump. Fire hazard. Mechanic also stated during repair the truck frame cross member was rusted through in a large section approximately 2”x 24”. No warning indicated by vehicle. Chevrolet trucks should be recalled for this issue

While driving the motor completely cut off. Yes, the vehicle can be inspected. The vehicle just shut down without warning, causing the vehicle to rapidly slow down with no warning to other motorists behind me. Yes, a dealer has confirmed the problem and could not definitively determine what the problem is. they said it could be: A shielded wire, service dept. said its not available from GM and would have to purchase the entire wiring harness and install to see if it fixed the issue. They said it could be a bad power inverter, again had to install to see if it fixed the issue. Finally said it could be a bad transmission(??) The only people who has attempted to diagnose is at the GM dealer service department. Their was no warning that the vehicle was about to turn completely off prior to it doing so.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V054000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The frame of my truck is very badly rusted. Parts such as shock, body and engine mounts are very rusted and can't be as strong as necessary. Pieces of rust 1/16th thick are coming off in many places. I have not taken it to a dealership yet to see it because i have only just recently really looked at it because i was working on the trailer hitch and was under the truck for a while.

This is in regards to: Manufacturer Recall NumberN212328800 NHTSA Recall Number21V054 GM's handling of this is absolutely unacceptable. I have been waiting for parts for over a year. GM's statement is "just don't drive it" if I have a concern about me or someone dying from their defective part. For over a year this is [XXX] to put it bluntly. I just got a letter stating that parts were now available, I have called immediately and was told sorry, there aren't actually parts available now. No ETA. GM should be financially compensating me for giving me no other option to drive an unsafe vehicle for over a year and who knows how much longer. I don't have the financial means to 'just not drive my truck for over a year', or to 'go buy/lease another vehicle for this duration'. I'm livid that this problem hasn't been resolved and more needs to be done federally to put the heat to GM.

I received recall notice N212328770 by letter in July 2021. I immediately notified my local dealership and they told be they were waiting for the part. We just received a call from the dealer about a week ago and schedule to ge the recall issue repaired on Wednesday, February 9th 2022. We were given an appointment and my wife had to take the vehicle due to the me working. She arrived to have the safety defect replaced (passender air bag) and was told that when they do the replacement that if the dash cracks or is damaged they are not responsible for the damages and we would have to pay to get it fixed or replaced. This is very pooe customr service as well as causing a customer not to go through getting the recall completed. My wife called me and did not want to challenge the dealership. I told her just come home and do not let them make the repair/replacement and I would contact GM. I have had no luck doing so. This should be a no brainer. If they damage the dash or it cracks they fix it or replace it. My dash does hav 2 small cracks right where the air bag is located and from what I have read online many have stated that they too have had the same issue. This is supposedly due to the air bag issue. So now I am in a rock and hard place. I either don't get it done and risk a serious injury or death due to GM's unwillingness to take responsibility and handle in a professional manner or have them do it, damage the dash and pay lots of money to get it replaced. Can you please advise what I should do? Since I can not provide you with any personal info so you can contact me what am I to do to get this recified? A very long standing upset GM customer.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 30 MPH, the transmission disengaged upon depression of the accelerator pedal without warning. The vehicle then went into limp mode. The contact was able to slowly drive the vehicle home. The contact then took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where metal shavings were discovered in the transmission reservoir. The mechanic informed the contact that unless the transmission was replaced, the transmission would fail. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 119,000.

I have received a recall letter from General Motors regarding recall # N212328800, NHTSA campaign ID number 21V054. The letter was dated last February of 2021 and received shortly thereafter. The letter specifically states that I am to receive a second letter advising when the parts are available and requesting that I take my vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer. As of today, January 17, 2022, I have not received any such letter. I am writing to advise you of GMs totally unacceptable response to this instance of the Takata airbag recall. I have checked with Chevrolet dealers in my area and am being told that I can come to their lot and they will order the parts and THEN call me when they are ready to do the work. This response is contrary to the way the letter states that the recall will be handled and is confusing to customers. Please investigate and get GM back on track. I would also appreciate an email from someone at GM advising when the airbag parts will be available or if they are already available. I can be reached by email at [XXX]. Thank you.

Dash Board of my vehicle has cracked around the area of my air bag. Worried that my air bag will not work properly if ever in an accident. No dash board should crack! Either the material's used when made were not as durable as they should be. Truck has been maintained in excellent condition since it was bought from dealership. No inspection, no safety lights on, no warning lights on. As being the original owner and seeing this worries me and my safety. NO DASHBOARD SHOULD NEVER CRACK/SPLIT.

The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that due to the age and mileage of the vehicle; the manufacturer was not responsible for the damage to the dashboard. The contact had also signed a waiver prior to the recall repair. The failure mileage was 101,194.

Chevy refuses to replace the recalled Takata airbags currently under recall without doing a “full vehicle inspection” and providing us with a “list of repairs that must be made” before the airbag can be ordered or replaced. Note: The is nothing wrong with our truck. They say this is their standard operating procedure for this recall and it requires two full day appointments: one for the inspection and one for the recall repair. They refuse to order the replacement airbag until the inspection has been completed and any repairs Chevy deems “necessary” are complete. This seems to me to be extortion, i.e. we have to keep a defective airbag or comply with their inspection and any repair/payment for anything they deem “necessary.”

Takata Recall. The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21V051000 (Air Bags). The contact took the vehicle to the local dealer for the recall repair. While the mechanic was inspecting the vehicle, the contact was informed that while performing the recall repair on the passenger’s side frontal air bag, there could be potential damages to the dashboard that the dealer would not be responsible for repairing, replacing, or reimbursing the contact for any damages. The contact felt that was not right and did not want the recall repair performed if neither the dealer nor the manufacturer would not repair nor reimburse the contact for damages made to the dashboard. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and agreed with the local dealer. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while starting the vehicle the air bag warning indicator light illuminated The contact called OnStar who completed diagnostic testing. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 126,625.

Electric power steering motor failed while driving. The failure happened at such a time that it did not cause loss of control or a collision. The repair has yet to be completed at a local GM dealer due to awaiting parts. The failure of the electric power steering motor while driving the vehicle poses a massive safety risk to occupants of the vehicle and others due to there not being an apparent fail safe when the part failed, the steering wheel was completely locked in position and was not able to be turned. The local GM dealer reproduced the problem and diagnosed the electric power steering motor as the culprit and determined that the entire steering rack must be replaced due to the electric motor being a non-serviceable part. To my knowledge the defective part is still in the vehicle awaiting replacement at the dealer. There were no warning signs of a steering problem prior to the steering wheel being unusable and the dash displaying “service power steering” message.

Cracks in dash around passenger side airbag. Concern is that if airbag deploys that the dash components around the airbag will become dangerous projectiles.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2012 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN THERE SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THE CRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD JUST APPEARED FROM NORMAL CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. I AM CONCERNED IT COULD BE A PROBLEM IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND IS NOISY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

MY PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS REPLACED UNDER RECALL N202324210 BY PRIORITY CHEVROLET OF CHESAPEAKE VA. I WAS REQUIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP TO SIGN ACKNOWLEDGING THAT THE GM OR THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR DASHBOARD CRACKING AS PART OF THE REPAIR. MY TRUCK IS LOW MILEAGE AND IN GREAT CONDITION SO I EXPECTED NO PROBLEMS. HOWEVER, THE DEALERSHIP TECHNICIAN DID CRACK MY DASHBOARD AND PREDICTABLY THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO TAKE ANY ACTION. I THINK IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER AND THEIR AUTHORIZED SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO DAMAGE CUSTOMER VEHICLES DURING RECALL REPAIRS. ALSO, WHILE MY CRACKS ARE FAIRLY SMALL, I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT INVISIBLE DAMAGE MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED. HOW CAN I BE CONFIDENT THAT THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT CREATE MISSILE HAZARDS? IT IS COMMON TO VIEW THE DASHBOARD AS MERELY DECORATIVE BUT I AM NOW FORCED TO CONSIDER WHAT NEW HAZARDS ARE PRESENTED BY THE DASHBOARD, BOTH FROM UNSECURED MATERIAL IN A CRASH AND MISSILE HAZARDS IN THE AREA OF THE AIRBAG, THAT WERE DIRECTLY CAUSED BY A GOVERNMENT ORDERED RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT NHTSA SHOULD ORDER REPAIR OF ALL MOUNTING EQUIPMENT AND DASHBOARD COMPONENTS AS PART OF THIS AND FUTURE AIR BAG RECALLS. THANK YOU.

I NOTIFIED GM IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 1ST ACCIDENT ABOUT THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. I SHOULD MENTIONED THAT THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT BROKE DUE THE HARSHNESS OF THE ACCIDENT. ALL THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO BUT GM NEVER ANSWERED ME NOR TOOK ANY ACTION TO INVESTIGATE THE FAILURE OF THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. TODAY, 4 MARCH, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS TAKATA HAS ADMITTED THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BAGS, EXCEPT THEY SAY IT IS ONLY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I DIDN'T EVEN THINK I HAD AIR BAGS BECAUSE THEY NEVER WORKED. THE ID NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS 21V051. I AM HOPEFUL THAT EVEN THOUGH THESE ACCIDENTS TOOK PLACE YEARS AGO, I DON'T HAVE ACTUAL DATES BECAUSE I DIDN'T THEY WERE IMPORTANT, THAT YOU, AS THE FEDERAL AGENCY RESPONSIBLE FOR OVERSEEING THE SAFETY OF CARS USING OUR HIGHWAYS, WILL INQUIRE AS TO WHY GM FAILED TO INVESTIGATE A SAFETY COMPLAINT SUBMITTED TO THEIR CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER.

I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO TEXAS EDITION ON, MAY 26, 2012, FROM CLASSIC CHEVROLET OF GRAPEVINE, TEXAS. I PAID $31,622.80 FOR THE TRUCK. I FEEL THAT A NEW VEHICLE SOLD IN AMERICA SHOULD HAVE AN IMPLIED WARRANTY ATTACHED TO IT THAT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND EXPRESS WARRANTIES WHEN IT COMES TO THE VEHICLE'S SAFETY. AFTER TWO YEARS AS AN OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE I NOTICED A STAIN ON MY REAR CARPET. THE MORE I RUBBED IT THE MORE IT SPREAD. I FIGURED THAT ONE OF MY GRAND CHILDREN PROBABLY SPILLED SOMETHING AND SO I JUST DECIDED TO TRY TO LIVE WITH IT. IN LATE 2019 I NOTICED THAT MY CARPET BEHIND MY DRIVER'S SEAT WAS WET AFTER A HEAVY RAIN. SO I TOWEL DRIED IT AND TOOK A PAPER RECEIPT FROM MY CONSOLE AND ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE HEADER PRESSURE ON THE REAR DOOR BY STRIKING THE ROCKER PANEL STRIKER. THIS YEAR I TOOK A TRIP TO KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI IN FEBRUARY. I FOUND MYSELF HAVING TO DRIVE UNDER RAINY, MISTING, WINDSHIELD, FREEZING AND FOGGING, UP. MY DEFROSTER WAS NO MATCH FOR IT BECAUSE IT NEVER WAS ABLE TO CLEAR MY WINDSHIELD SUFFICIENTLY. ON THE WAY BACK TO TEXAS I LEFT K.C. AT 4:00 AM. THE HAZARDOUS WEATHER WAS STILL PERSISTING. MY BLOOD PRESSURE AND HEARTBEAT RACED A FEW TIMES WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE AHEAD OF TRUCKS TO AVOID THE SPLASHING FROM THEIR WAKE. IN JUNE I DISCOVERED POOLING OF WATER BEHIND MY DRIVER'S SEAT. IT WAS SO RIDICULOUS I HAD TO TAKE IT TO CLASSIC. AFTER 3 HOURS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE SERVICE MANAGER RETURNED TO ME AND ESCORTED ME TO THE TECHNICIAN. THE TECH SHOWED ME THAT THE WATER WAS COMING FROM AN UNSEALED OVERLAP AT MY FIREWALL. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE LEAK'S BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME. THIS AREA AT THE TOP OF YOUR FENDER IS WHERE THE WATER IS ENTERING AND IT FILLS UP AN AREA INSIDE YOUR FINDER AND THEN IT LEAKS THROUGH YOUR FIREWALL AND RUNS DOWN YOUR ROCKER AND SETTLES AT THE BACK SEAT WELL. THAT REPORT COST ME $145.00.*DT*JB*JB

USUALLY IN THE MORNINGS BUT ALSO OTHER TIMES WHEN I START MY TRUCK UP. THE STEERING STABILIZER AND STABILITY ACT LIGHTS COME ON. SOMETIMES IT TURNS OFF AND OTHER TIMES IT STAYS ON. I SEE THAT THE 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS A RECALL ON THIS SAME ISSUE BUT MINE IS A 2012. THANK YOU

GOT TRUCK 1-25-16 WITH 49066 MILES NOW 9-12-2018 HAS 94000 USE'S OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. I ALWAYS CHANGE WHEN OIL LIFE MONITOR SAYS 10% LIFE LEFT USE AC DELCO DEXOS OIL DOESN'T LEAK OR SMOKE . I TRADED IN A 1999 SILVERADO WITH 201000 MILES IT USED NO OIL.GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS I HEAR IT HAPPENS TO FAR TO MANY TRUCKS WITH THE 5.3 ENGINE

RIGHT HEADLIGHT IS IN-OPERABLE. LIGHT BULB HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH OE BULB, LIGHT STILL DOES NOT WORK. DEALER STATED THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. DEALER ALSO STATED I WOULD NEED MULTIPLE HOURS OF DIAGNOSTIC TO DETERMINE THE ISSUE. NO ACCIDENTS, NO COLLISIONS. VEHICLE AT THIS TIME IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. MULTIPLE DEALERS IN MY AREA HAVE NOTED THIS AS AN ISSUE FOR MY MAKE AND MODEL. RIGHT LOW BEAM IS COMPLETELY IN-OPERABLE.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKING, WITHOUT INCIDENT, IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS, DECREASING VALUE AND PRESENTING SAFETY HAZARD IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS OR IF COLLISION CAUSES IT TO SPLINTER INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER THE FAILURE OCCURRED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LAFONTAINE CHEVROLET (7120 DEXTER ANN ARBOR RD, DEXTER, MI 48130, (734) 680-8850) WHERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT MOISTURE MAY HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 52,000. *TT *JB

DASHBOARD SEVERLY CRACKED GM WILL NOT FIX

THERE HAS BEEN VARIOUS OCCASIONS WHERE WE ARE DRIVING AND THE TRUCK STOPS WITH NO WARNING OR REASON, THE FIRST TIME WAS ON I-95 HIGHWAY IN PHILADELPHIA MID TRAFFIC THE TRUCK TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART FOR ABOUT 5MINUTES WE WEEE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD BLOCKING TRAFFIC, NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ANY WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THE SECOND TIME WAS JUST THIS WEEK ON THE WAY TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS TO GET THE COMPUTER READ IT TURNED OFF YET AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. BOTH MECHANICS SAID NOTHING CAN UP ON THE SCANNER WHEN CONNECTED AND THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURNED ON.

TL* THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 17V017000 (TIRES); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE TIRES TO THE LOCAL HARBOR FREIGHT STORE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE REPLACEMENT TIRES WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED.

GAS GAUGE JUMPS UP AND DOWN. WILL READ ALMOST EMPTY JUST AFTER FILLING UP OR AFTER ONLY A FEW MILES.

REVIEWED RECALL 18V295 AND MY VEHICLE HAS 1 BAD POWER WINDOW SWITCH WHICH DOES NOT WORK. COULD LIQUID HAVE CAUSED THIS SAME PROBLEM UNDER THIS RECALL? DOES NOT WORK IN ANY VEHICLE MOTION.

IGNITION SWITCH IS BAD. IT LOCKS UP TO WHERE THE KEY WILL NEED TO BE TURNED AROUND AND TRIED AGAIN. WHEN TAKING KEY OUT THE KEY HOLE (AT TIMES) STAYS IN THE ON POSITION AND DINGS AS I LEAVE MAKING THE ASSESSORIES FUNCTION STAY ON. IF KEY IS BUMPED THE KEY CAN TURN OFF TRUCK MAKING ALL POWER TURN OFF.

I ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AFTER STOPPING AT THE STOP SIGN. I WAS HALFWAY THROUGH THE DIVIDED INTERSECTION THAT HAD A ROAD CLOSED SIGN FOR THE EXIT SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION AND A DO NOT ENTER SIGN FOR THE ENTRANCE SIDE. THE MEDIAN WAS OVER GROWN WITH VEGETATION SO THAT VISIBILITY WAS POOR. I STARTED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION AND ABOUT HALF WAY THROUGH A CAR ENTERING AT FAST RATE OF SPEED HIT THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK KNOCKING TO THE LEFT. THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND I WAS THROWN TO THE RIGHT AND THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL SPEED. THE TRUCK HIT A PALM TREE.

DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT GOES OUT. THE LIGHTBULB IS IN GOOD ORDER. THE PIGTAIL SHOWS SIGNS OF EXCESSIVE HEAT/SMALL FIRE, PLASTIC MELTING, CARBON IN THE METAL CONTACT ON THE LIGHTBULB AND SOCKET. THE PIGTAIL WAS REPLACED AND LASTED APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH TO SHOW THE SAME ISSUES. I AM AFRAID OF A VEHICLE FIRE. THE VEHICLE'S STABILITRACK IS UNUSABLE, THE WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE ISSUES HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND STATIONARY. THE ISSUES HAPPENED SUDDENLY DURING NORMAL CITY/HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE ISSUES ARE ONGOING AND STARTED SIX MONTHS AGO.

EXCESSIVE OIL COMSUMPTION. I CHANGE OIL AND 1000 MILES LATER MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHR COMES ON . I CHECK OIL AND IT ISN'T EVEN ON THE STICK.

I HAVE A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD JUST ABOVE THE AIRBAG. THIS IS NOT DUE TO HEAT OR SUN THIS HAPPENED DURING THE WINTER IN ALASKA

CRACKED DASH ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AT IT BAG. STARTED AT 48000 MILES. IF IN A WRECK AND AIR BAG DEPLOYS SHARDS OF DASH CAN FLY THROUGH THE AIR. THINGS CAN GET DOWN IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND CAUSE A SHORT WHICH CAN LEAD TO A FIRE. VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING IN A HEATED GARAGE AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE

DASH PAD HAS CRACKS IN IT. IF AIR BAGS WERE TO BE DEPLOYED PIECES OF DASH COULD BECOME PROJECTILES. DON'T KNOW WHEN IT CRACKED. I NOTICED IT WHEN I WAS WALKING AROUND TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. MY TRUCK SITS IN A GARAGE. IT ONLY HAS 60000 MILES ON IT AND I BOUGHT IT NEW IN 2011.

DASHBOARD CRACKED FROM PASSENGER AIRBAG TO FRONT EDGE OF PANEL. VEHICLE STATIONARY AND NOT RUNNING WHEN CRACK OCCURRED.

DASH STARTED WITH 2 INITIAL CRACKS ONE AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER AT THE BASE OF THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLOSER TO THE WINDOW. AS TIME WENT ON THE CRACK OF THE DRIVER SIDE PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE TO THE POINT NOW IT HAS TRAVELED TO END OF THE PANEL ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER CRACK HAS DEVELOPED NOW AT THE OTHER END OF THE AIR BAG.

THE COMMON DASH CRACK IN MY 2012 SILVERADO WITH ONLY 40K MILES. I HAD A SUNROOF INSTALLED TO LET THE HEAT OUT AND MY TRUCK IS CLEARLY STORED IN A GARAGE AND THE TRUCKS DASH STILL CRACKED. ITS SO BAD THE DASH RATTLES WHEN DRIVING AND IM WORRIED ABOUT THE QUALITY OF PLASTIC USED ON THE DASH THAT WHEN THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS, THAT THE DASH WILL TURN INTO SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC HEADED TOWARDS MY PASSENGERS AND I. I NEVER EXPECTED SUCK A WELL TAKEN CARE OF VEHICLE WITH SUCH LOW MILES TO HAVE A CRACKED DASH AND [XXX] SURE NOT A GM PRODUCT. TOYOTA HAD THE SAME ISSUE BUT THEY FIXED THERE ISSUE. PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

THE STEEL IN THE REAR LEAF SPRINGS SUDDENLY BROKE IN HALF (UNDER NO LOAD). IT HAPPENED TWICE - IN THE LEFT REAR LEAF SPRINGS IN ~2016 (~3 YEARS OF AGE), AND AGAIN IN THE RIGHT REAR LEAF SPRINGS LAST WEEK (2018). THIS IS NOT EVEN A MECHANICAL DEVICE - JUST A PASSIVE HEAVY GAUGE PIECE OF STEEL. THE VEHICLE IS VERY LIGHT USE, AND IN BOTH CASES THERE WAS NO PAYLOAD IN THE FLATBED. GM APPEARS TO BE USING A SUBSTANDARD GRADE OF STEEL IN CRITICAL AREAS OF THE VEHICLE. THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE DROPPED WHEN THE SPRINGS BROKE, AND I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY PROBLEM IF DRIVING AT HIGH SPEED. IN ADDITION, THE STEEL ROD THAT CONNECTS THE INNER DRIVER DOOR HANDLE TO THE DOOR LOCK, ALSO SNAPPED (SO YOU CAN NOT EXIT THE VEHICLE FROM INSIDE CONTROLS). IT APPEARS THAT GM IS USING A CHEAP SUBSTANDARD GRADE OF STEEL IN THEIR VEHICLES. ESTIMATED DATE OF FIRST EVENT BELOW. *JS

IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, MOTOR LOOSES OIL PRESSURE. OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND RELATED FILTER ALREADY CHANGED ONCE, FAILING AGAIN.

CRACKED DASHBOARD AROUND PASSANGER AIR BAG

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ARE CHEAP PLASTIC, SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE WILL BE UNABLE TO OPEN DOOR IN EMERGENCY.

MY AIR BAD LIGHT IS ON AND MY HORN DOES NOT WORK. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY TRUCK. SHE THEN TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN TO SEE IF IT HAS A RECALL. I ASK HER WHICH IS IT, IS THERE A RECALL OR NOT? SHE SAID NO RECALL BUT I HAD TO GO INTO SERVICE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. THERE EITHER IS IT ISN'T. I FEEL GM IS TRYING TO COVER THIER BUTTS. SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY KNOW OF A PROBLEM BUT DON'T WANT TO GO PUBLIC WITH IT. I'M A 100% DISABLED VETERAN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW 5 YEARS AGO, I ONLY HAVE 55K MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY IF GM KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THIER MISTAKE.

LIGHTS GO DIM ON IT ALL THE TIME AND THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IN IT IS BAD SOMETIMES THE AIR CONDITION WORKS MOST OF THE TIME IT DON'T AND THE CRUISE QUIT WORKING IN IT

TRANSMISSION---TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN ABUSED. WILL NOT GO FORWARD WENT PUT INTO DRIVE. HAS FLUID. WILL GO INTO REVERSE. PULLED OUT OF DRIVE-WAY TO GO TO THE STORE . WENT TO A STOP SIGN AND IT WOULD NOT MOVE . HAD TO PUSH IT BACK HOME. THE CONSUMER STATED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *JS

WHEN VEHICLE IS IN MOTION 5 PMH AIRBAG ON DRIVER SIDE BECOMES HOT N COOLS OFF WHEN WHEN VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF, CAN YOU FIX THIS ISSUE, IT'S DOESN'T SHOW THAT IT'S RECALL BUT I FEEL UN SAFE TO DRIVE IT, MY DEALER SAYS IT'S NOT ON YOUR RECALL LIST, PLS ADVISE ME THEY TOLD ME IT'S A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM.

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND IT BLINKS ON AND OFF EVERY TIME THE CAR IS TURN ON IN MOTION AND AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON UNTIL IT'S PARK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FOUR ALUMINUM WHEELS CRACKED. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (RANCHO MOTOR COMPANY, VICTORVILLE, CA, 760-955-8200) AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

DASH IS CRACKED WITH SHARP EDGES CLOSE TO THE DEFROSTER VENTS AND NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. CRACKED ON ITS OWN, NO ACCIDENT. TRUCK IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AROUND AIR BAGS

JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY AND THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABLITRAK TURNED OFF. LIGHTS CAME ON, ON THE DASH SAYING SERVICE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE, BUT WITHIN 30 MINUTES IT COMES BACK ON. USUALLY COMES ON WHEN NORMAL BRAKING (NOT HARD) YOU CAN FEEL THE ABS LOCK UP AND THE LIGHTS COME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND ABS IS OFF. SOME DAYS THE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS YOU START THE TRUCK IN THE MORNING AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL. NEVER HAD THE TRUCK OFF ROAD, ON ROAD USE ONLY, TRUCK IS STOCK AND HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED YET. I WASH THE TRUCK EVERY 2 WEEKS, AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAD ABOUT 38XXX MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND STILL IS HAPPENING. THE DATE REPORTED WAS AN ESTIMATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE MONTHS

CRACKED DASHBOARD AT PASSENGER AIRBAG CAUSING A POTENTIAL AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT ISSUE. I NOTICED THIS WHILE CLEANING SAID DASHBOARD. NO ITEMS WERE EVER STORED ON THE DASHBOARD. DEALERSHIP QUOTES $1250 TO REPAIR SAME.

THE DASH IS CRACKED

STABILITRAC LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ALSO CRACKED DASH BOARD RIGHT BY PASSENGER AIRBAG. DASH CRACKED 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT TRUCK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE IDLED ROUGHLY AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (PUNENTE HILLS CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 17300 E GALE AVE CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA 91748 888-202-3593) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE COVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,099.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKING BY THE AIR BAG AND ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER, IF AIR BAG COMES OUT AFRAID FOR FAMILY FOR FLYING PLASTIC PIECES NOTICED ONE WHILE GETTING IN TRUCK ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT AIR BAG LEFT FORWARD CORNER BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEAR NOW NOTICED RIGHT SIDE CORNER AND THE ABOVE THE DASH LAST WEEKEND 5/20/17

ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND ENGINE WOULD NOT BE OPERATING PROPERLY.APEARED TO BE MISFIRING. IT WAS TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES AND DIAGNOSED WITH CYLINDER MISFIRE OIL FOULED SPARK PLUG EACH TIME. PROBLEM PERSISTED UNTIL WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED IT WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE. MANUFACTURE AND DEALERSHIP WERE UNHELPFUL AND DID NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DEFECTIVE ENGINE. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT PENDING FOR THIS MODEL AND TYPE ENGINE WITH OTHERS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS.

CRACKING DASHBOARD.

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH 5.3 L V8 ENGINE. USES 4 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE. STARTED AT 95352 MILES WHEN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING OIL PRESSURE WAS EXTREMELY LOW. FOUND OUT TRUCK ONLY HAD 2 QTS OF OIL LEFT IN IT. OIL LIFE READING WAS STILL AT 7%. THEN ENGINE STARTED FOULING CYLINDER ONE SPARK PLUG NOTICED BY ENGINE CODE AND SLUGGISH DRIVING. DEALER REPLACED, FOULED AGAIN. DEALER REPLACED LEFT VALVE COVER TO FIX, FOULED PLUG AGAIN. DEALER SUGGESTED PISTON RING JOB. NOT DONE DUE TO COST. NOW HAS FOULED PLUG TWO MORE TIMES AND IS STILL USING 4 QTS OIL BETWEEN 5000 MILE OIL CHANGES. ONLY 119816 MILES CURRENLY.

I HEARD A VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM MY DASHBOARD FOR OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKING FROM THE FORWARD END RUNNING AFT TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THIS MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIR BAG IS INFLATED. I HEARD THE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED I NOTICED THE CRACKING PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD ON PASSENGERS SIDE HAS TWO CRACKS ABOVE THE AIRBAG.

I HAVE A 2012 SILVERADO THAT HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT GO ON. TOOK TO THE DEALER (CARBONE CHEVY, YORKVILLE NY) THE PROBLEM WAS AN AIR LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE FIX, REPLACE GAS TANK AND SENDING UNIT, $900. I ASKED ABOUT THE WARRANTY, AND I WAS TOLD PAST MILEAGE, I'M AT 39000. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT A 4-YEAR-OLD TRUCK COULD ROT OUT SO SOON THAT THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TANKS. I CALLED GM TO ASK, AND THE WOMAN COULD NOT HAVE CARED LESS JUST LISTEN TO ME COMPLAIN AND SAID SHE WOULD CALL THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT ME. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. ALSO SAID THAT THE CORROSION WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER TANKS AND IT'S UP TO ME TO PAY FOR THIS. I SPENT $36000 ON THIS TRUCK AND DIDN'T HAVE A SCRATCH ON IT BUT NOW FIND OUT IT IS ROTTING THROUGH LIKE A TIN CAN. MY QUESTIONS ARE; SHOULD THIS HAVE BEEN COVERED OR RECALLED? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP?

THE SILVERADO DASH MELTS AND CRACKS. ON THEIR SITE THERE IS A STATEMENT THAT THE CRACKS CAN BREAK LOOSE AND CAUSE INJURIES BUT THE RECALL WAS DISCONTINUED. THE PASSENGER SEAT LEAKS FUEL AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THAT. VEHICLES ARE VERY NOISY, WE HAVE TO TALK LOUD OR TURN THE RADIO UP TO HEAR. I MOTION AND STATIONARY. PURCHASED NEW IN 2012. THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES AND THE DEALER AND THE COMPANY'S HEADQUARTERS STATED THEY ARE KNOWN ISSUES BUT THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS AND WOULD NOT REPLACE OR GIVE ANY DISCOUNT IN FIXING THE DEFECTS. I HAVE TALKED TO THE HEADQUARTERS DOWN TO THE LOCAL DEALERS AND NO RESOLUTION.

STARTED LEAKING FLUID UNDER THE FRONT OF TRUCK MECHANIC CHECKED IT OUT AND FLUID WAS COMING OUT OF STEERING FILLING BOOT FULL OF FLUID SEAL GAVE OUT RAPID STEERING SHOCK AT 46,000 MILES ON TRUCK NO WARRANTY.

DASH IS CRACKING ALL OVER NEAR AIRBAG 3GCPCSE02CG139623

DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN I CAME OUT I NOTICED THE CRACK IN THE DASH.

FEW CRACKS ON DASHBOARD WORRIED ABOUT ONE CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BACK I DID CALL GM NOTHTING HAPPEN.

DASH CRACKED BEHIND INSTRUMENT PANEL AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. CONCERNED ABOUT SHRAPNEL SHOULD AIR BAGS DEPLOY....THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FROM 2007-2013.

MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES AS I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHERE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION OFF, STABILTRAC OFF, THE AIRVENTS STOPPED BLOWING COOL AIR AND RELEASED HUMIDITY, BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY (HARD TO ACTUALLY BREAK), STEERING WHEEL/POWER STEERING WAS MALFUNCTIONING MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OR GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMS THE VEHICLE JUST DECIDED TO SUDDENLY STALL WHILE IN MOTION. I WAS VERY LUCKY DUE TO SUDDEN HIGH RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING ANYONE HURT. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE I GOT IN PARK AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, EVERYTHING WAS FINE SHOWING NO ISSUES BUT I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT CRANK OR TRY TO TURN OVER BUT ALL ELECTRONICS/LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING. I CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS, ALL WAS FINE AND THEN I WENT TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO START THE VEHICLE. TO MY SURPRISE, IT STARTED UP JUST FINE AND WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NOT READING ANY OTHER MESSAGES. ALL FUNCTIONS WERE WORKING PROPERLY BUT I WAS TOO SCARED TO GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT HAVING AN IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I WENT TO THE CLOSEST TRUSTED AUTO PLACE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO USE A SCANNER TO FIND THE TROUBLE CODES OF MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE WAS FOR A MALFUNCTION WITH THE INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE (CODE: P0601). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK AND ITS VERY SCARY TO FEEL AT RISK FOR A SUDDEN MALFUNCTION TO CAUSE A CRASH. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BULLETIN NO: 14515B, THAT HAD COVERED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ISSUES AND FOR MY VEHICLE'S YEAR/MODEL. MY VIN DIDN'T REGISTER FOR ANY RECALLS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OTHER VEHICLES ARE GETTING QUALIFIED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN CERTAIN AREAS, INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND THE MIDDLE SECTION IS FLIMSY AND ABLE TO BE PULLED UP OR PUSHED DOWN.

I FOUGHT GM ON THIS FOR 7 MONTHS. AND DID SO 30 DAYS FROM MY PURCHASE DATE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN MY TRUCK MAKES A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE. AND WILL REV UP IN A SENSE AND PUSH YOU FORWARD. MOST OF THE TIME IT'S ONLY PROBABLY A FOOD BUT OTHER TIMES I HAS CAUSED ME TO GO THROUGH STOP SIGNS. LUCKILY NO ONE IS THERE BUT I FEAR THAT WHEN I HAVE MY FIANCE AND 3 KIDS IN THE TRUCK I MAY GET PUSHED FORWARD AND T BONED. OR I MAY GO INTO SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME. OR INTO A FENCE. AND THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL EVERY TIME. BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE AND MY THING IS IS IF IT'S NORMAL.. THEN IT'S A SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE READ REVIEWS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT'S NOT SAFE AND DEFINITELY NOT PRACTICAL. THEY SAY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY 6 SPEED. BUT I FOUGHT GM AND HE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. STARTING FROM REPAIRS ON MY TRUCK THAT WAS PROMISED TO BE FIXED TO THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEM CLAIMING THEY FIXED IT WITH SOME SENSOR. THEN LYING SAYING THEY NEVER FIXED ANYTHING WHEN GM QUESTIONED THEM. LUCKILY I HAD SOMEONE THAT WORKED THERE THAT FELT BAD FOR ME SO HE GAVE ME ALL THE INFO I NEEDED. ALL IN ALL GM ENDED UP GIVING ME A BUMPER TO BUMPER GM WARRANTY FOR 4YRS. FOR A PROBLEM THEY CLAIM WAS NORMAL. THAT'S GENEROUS OF THEM. BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE AND I'M SCARED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY.

I WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK ON 10/15/2016 TO NOTICE A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD BETWEEN THE AIRBAG AND THE VENT. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO STARTING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY TRUCK FROM. I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON TO ONLY BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I CAN HOWEVER PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A NEW DASHBOARD INSTALLED. NOW I FIND THIS AGGRAVATING AS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID NOR WAS THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS SIMPLY BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY!!! I THEN CALLED A BODY SHOP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO, IT WAS THEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR CHEVY AND THAT THIS CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO SPIDER OUT AND EVENTUALLY SPREAD!!!!! THEY CAN FIX IT BUT UNLESS I REPLACE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT!!!! BUT AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY POCKET. I THEN RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF EXACTLY HOW MANY CASES THERE ARE OUT THERE INVOLVING DASHBOARD CRACKS, COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVY FOR THIS EXACT REASON. IF CHEVY HAS THIS MANY COMPLAINTS AND IS AWARE OF THE DASHBOARD CRACKING WHY AREN'T THEY TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND OFFER A RESOLUTION! THIS CONCERNS ME AS THIS IS NEAR THE AIRBAG, COULD THIS CAUSE HARM TO THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY???????????

MY 2012 1500 SILVERADO'S, DASH HAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, PURCHASED LATE 2012 ONLY 40 K MILES, NO ACCIDENTS OR REASONS FOR CRACKS OTHER THAN FAULTY MATERIAL USE FOR DASH.

CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE CORNER OF AIRBAG AND ANOTHER AT THE STEERING CONCOLE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE ENGINE SHOOK UNCONTROLLABLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER EVERY 10,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE ON A CYLINDER AND THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

MY 2012 CHEVROLET SILVADO HAS A CRACK AROUND THE AIRBAG. THERE HAS BEEN NO WRECK JUST HAPPEN. IT ALSO HAS A CRACK ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DASH.

MY VEHICLE IS JUST OVER THREE YEARS OLD, JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY AND ONLY HAS 26,500 MILES. THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS CRACKED, EVEN THOUGH THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED AND I HAVE USED A SUN SHIELD AT ALL TIMES SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS I CONSIDER A HAZARD AS IT IS DIRECTLY WHERE ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE LOCATED INCLUDING AIRBAGS AND SUCH. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME 1300 PLUS LABOR AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AS I BELIEVE THIS CAN BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I NOTICED THE CRACK WHEN I WALKED PAST THE VEHICLE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE REDUCE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SHATTERED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

DASH CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG AND DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

CRACKS ON THE DASH BOARD AROUND AIRBAG AND ALSO IN FRONT OF THE STEER WHEEL ON THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF DASH.

THE DASH IS CRACKING NEAR THE AIR BAG. THERE IS A CONCERN OF A SAFETY HAZARD AND THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF FAULTY DASH.

DASH CRACKED AT RIGHT UPPER CORNER BY PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH COULD POSSIBLY RIP AIR BAG UPON DEPLOYMENT

THE DASH IN MY 2012 SILVERADO TRUCK HAS CRACKED ON IT'S OWN IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO CONSUMERS(JUST DO A GOOGLE SEARCH) WITH A SAFETY CONCERN THAT IF THE AIR IS DEPLOYED, THE CRACKED PLASTIC COULD GET BLOWN OFF AND BECOME A DEADLY PROJECTILE.THERE IS NO ASPECT OF THIS THAT CAN OR SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SAFE.

THE DASH HAVE THREE CRACKS IN IT EVEN THOUGH I KEEP IT COVERED. I SEE THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME SITUATION AND YET CHEVROLET AND OR THE DEALERS REFUSE TO REPLACE IT. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST BETWEEN $200.00 TO $250.00 TO REPLACE IT. CHEVROLET KNOW OF THIS AND YET DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. EVEN THE DEALER STATED THE THIS IS A DEFECT.

AT 170208 MILES THE CAM WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IT ON A CITY STREET IT STARTED TAPPING LIFTERS, I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION AND A NEW MOTOR HAS TO BE PUT IN. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ONE YEAR AGO AT 139171 MILES WITH POWERTRAIN ASSURANCE WITH APG CORP. BUT NO ONE WANTS TO COVER IT NOW THAT IT HAS ISSUES. EVEN WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED RIGHT NEAR AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF CLEANER TO MAKE IT CRACK AND I ALSO USE A VISOR TO COVER WIND SHIELD. I HAD THIS TRUCK FOR A YEAR AND COUPLE MONTHS. EVERY PERSON THAT I SPEAK WITH HAD SAME PROBLEM. AND THE SAME SPOT. I WAS LITERALLY JUST ON MY WAY TO DAD'S HOUSE WITH A BIRTHDAY CAKE AND I HEARD A NOISE SO WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I LOOKED AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING SO MY BOYFRIEND LOOKED AND SAW THE CRACK.

THE DASH HAS A CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACK IS COMPLETELY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PIECE OF PLASTIC SO IT MAKES ME CONCERNED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF IT WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT I AM NOT CERTAIN THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE PLASTIC FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 60000 MILES AND WE WERE TOLD IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEREFORE THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IS $1004

I NOTICED YESTERDAY THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. GOT IN THERE THIS MORNING 7/15 AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT FOR A MINUTE INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. COULDNT EVEN TURN MY AC ON OR OFF. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE GOT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS LOOKING AT A 2 WEEK WAIT BUT I COULD DROP IT OFF ON 7/18 AND THEY WOULD GET TO IT.

WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK THIS MORNING AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A 4" CRACK IN THE DASH THAT WAS NOT THERE LAST NIGHT. IT STARTS AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG AND GOES TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF BLACK PLASTIC STICKING OUT OF THE CRACK. NOW I WONDER IF SOMEONE TOUCHES IT, THE AIR BAG WILL INFLATE. IS THIS SAFE OR NOT?

WOKE UP THIS MORNING, GOT IN MY 2012 SILVERADO, AND NOTICED A VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE DASH OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH, I CAN SEE THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM.

CRACKS IN DASHBOARD AROUND AIR BAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS ABRUPTLY DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING 55 TO 60 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER.

THE DASH IS CRACKING AND CHEVY SHARED THAT IT COST 1500 TO REPLACE SO THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO PAY $600 AND THEY WILL PAY THE REST. THE TRUCK HAS 44600 MILES I HAVE NOT REPLACE THE TIRES OR BRAKES YET IT IS PARKED UNDER A TREE MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN.

OUR DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR US. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WE HAVE NEVER USED ARMOR ALL ON THE DASHBOARD.

DEVELOPED CRACK ON DASH WHERE AIRBAG IS ON PASSENGER SIDE, CRACK IS ABOUT 6 INCHES LONG, WILL THIS EFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT?

DASH IS CRACKED AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ON TOP OF DASH. I'M CONCERNED THAT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT MAY BE AFFECTED. ALSO, PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME AIR BORN IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS LOCATED. IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE DANGEROUS PLASTIC SHRAPNEL TO INJURE THE PASSENGER AND/OR DRIVER

CRACKED DASH OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. THE FIRST IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG AND THE SECOND IS JUST TO THE LEFT MIDDLE OF THE DASH TOP. SEE PHOTOS. CONCERNED ABOUT LOOSE PLASTIC BREAKING AND PROPELLING IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN AN ACCIDENT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AND IT WAS FINE. THE CRACKS BEGAN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. 5/13/2016

"TAKATA RECALL", I HAVE A CRACK IN MY DASH THAT IS LOCATED RIGHT NEXT TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE MY DASH WILL CONTINUE TO CRACK THAT WILL CAUSE MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO FAIL WHEN IT WILL BE NEEDED TO PROTECT PASSENGERS THAT RIDE IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THIS TOPIC AND GENERAL MOTORS KNOWS THAT THIS IS HAPPENING AND THEY WON'T DO NOTHING TO FIX IT. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MY DRIVEWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP NOISE WHICH I NOTICE THAT MY DASH HAD CRACKED.

AT 34,162 MILES THE STEERING GEAR WAS BINDING, CREATING A SAFETY PROBLEM. A STEERING GEAR SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN 34,162 MILES.

FRONT SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WENT BAD

MY 2012 SILVERADO LS HAS 22,000 MILES. IT IS A SHAME BECAUSE IT IS A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK, BUT THE FRAME LOOKS TERRIBLE. IT IS NOT A LITTLE RUST HERE AND THERE. THE RUST IS LITERALLY ALL OVER THE FRAME. THERE IS MORE OF THE FRAME WITH RUST THAN WITHOUT. THE FRAME IS VERY EASY TO SEE. UNFORTUNATELY FOR GM, MY TRUCK IS A ROLLING BILLBOARD AND THE RUST IS GETTING WORST EVERY YEAR.

RECENTLY I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT WAS A DIRECT IMPACT. AT THE TIME OF THIS ACCIDENT THE SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK NOR DID THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY. THE SPEED FROM THIS ACCIDENT WAS BETWEEN 50-55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY. AT THE RATE OF SPEED I WAS GOING BEFORE THE ACCIDENT AND THE FACT THAT I HAD TO SLAM ON THE BREAKS TO BEGIN SLOWING DOWN ONE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THE SEAT BELT WOULD HAVE LOCKED BUT IT DID NOT AND AT THE POINT OF IMPACT I WAS VERY SURPRISED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY BUT YET THE SYSTEM INDICATED THAT IT DID AND NEEDED TO BE RESET. HOWEVER NOW THAT THE VEHICLE IS IN PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED I AM BEING TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAS TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE DRIVER SEAT BELT.

HERE IS A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ISSUES INVOLVING THE 1012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LT TEXAS EDITION AFTER THE PURCHASE DATE OF SEPTEMBER 3, 2012. FIRST, I NOTICED THAT IT HAS INCREASINGLY BECOME MORE DIFFICULT TO OPEN THE FRONT PASSENGER WINDOW FROM THE DRIVER SIDE MASTER CONTROL UNIT AROUND 2014. NOW, I HAVE TO PRESS HARD SEVERAL TIMES TO OPEN THE WINDOW. SECOND, THE OUTSIDE MOLDINGS OF THE DOOR PANELS ARE FALLING OFF STARTING IN MID-2014. THIRD, I HAVE STARTED TO HEAR POPPING NOISES COMING FROM THE BALL JOINTS WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT AT A VERY LOW SPEED STARTING THE BEGINNING OF 2014. THESE ISSUES WERE REPORTED TO THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AT THE GM HEADQUARTERS IN AUGUST 2015. ON SEPTEMBER 4, 2015, THE TRUCK WAS FINALLY DIAGNOSED BY THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT SOLD THE PICKUP. THE INVOICE DATED SEPTEMBER 4, 2015 INDICATES THE LOWER BALL JOINTS WORN WITH PLAY, DOOR MOLDINGS FALLING OFF, AND THE DRIVER'S MASTER SWITCH SHORTED.

TRUCK WAS PARKED WHEN I GOT BACK INTO IT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED

WAS DRIVING AND HEARD LOUD POP. PULLED OVER AND INSPECTED DASH AND FOUND CRACK AROUND AIRBAG AREA PASSENGER SIDE OF TRUCK.

I HAD DRIVEN BACK HOME FROM TAHOE AROUND 6:00PM AND THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED FOR 2 HOURS WHEN WE ATTEMPTED TO OPEN THE SLIDE ON THE 5TH WHEEL. I FOUND THE SLIDE ON THE TRAILER WOULD NOT OPEN DUE TO A LACK OF POWER ON THE 5TH WHEEL. AT THIS TIME THE PIGTAIL WAS STILL CONNECTED TO THE TRUCK. I DISCONNECTED THE PIGTAIL FROM THE TRUCK AND PLUGGED THE TRAILER INTO A 50 AMP PLUG AND THE SLIDE OPENED NORMALLY. I THOUGHT IT WAS STRANGE THAT THE BATTERY HAD DISCHARGED AFTER SUCH A SHORT TIME. AROUND 10:45PM MY GIRLFRIEND SCREAMED THE TRAILER WAS ON FIRE AND WHEN I REACHED THE BACKDOOR THE ENTIRE TRAILER WAS ENGULFED AND THE REAR OF THE TRUCK WAS ALREADY ON FIRE. BOTH THE VEHICLES WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED ALONG WITH A BARN THAT WAS APPROXIMATELY10 FEET AWAY SUFFERING MAJOR DAMAGE.

I WAS PULLED OVER TWICE WITH IN 30 MINS FOR HAVING A MY RIGHT PASSENGER HEADLIGHT OUT. I'VE REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT, CHECKED FUSES, RELAY AND TESTED THE SOCKET POWER AND ALL WERE FINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EQUIPPED WITH FEDERAL COURAGIA A/T MUD TRAIN TIRES, SIZE: ST 516-333/12.50 R20LP (NA). WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE BAND OF THE TIRE SEPARATED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO VIBRATE UNCONTROLLABLY AS THE TIRE BLEW OUT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONE TIRE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE WAS 60,000 AND THE TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000.

WORKING IN THE YARD, I NOTICED OUT OF THE CORNER OF MY EYE THAT THERE APPEARED TO BE MOISTURE IN MY PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT. AN INSPECTION OF THE TAILLIGHT SHOWED MULTIPLE FRACTURES IN THE HOUSING ACROSS THE REAR PORTION. THESE FRACTURES ALLOW WATER TO ENTER THE UNIT. A FRACTURE ROUGHLY A QUARTER INCH UP LIMITS THE WATER ACCUMULATION. I THEN CHECKED THE DRIVER'S SIDE UNIT & NOTICED THE SAME FAILURE IS STARTING. AT THE TIME OF DISCOVERY I HAD JUST OVER 1000 ENGINE HOURS ON THE VEHICLE AND JUST OVER 126K MILES. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW & I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE ROUGHLY 38.5 MONTHS. BULBS HAVE A GREATER LIFE EXPECTANCY THAN THE TAILLIGHT ASSEMBLY DESIGNED TO PROTECT THEM AND PROMOTE SAFETY. THE DEALER SAYS THE REPLACEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLIES ARE MY ISSUE. THESE ITEMS ARE REQUIRED BY STATE AND FEDERAL LAW TO MEET CERTAIN STANDARDS. DEPENDING ON FRACTURE PLACEMENT THE BULBS MAY SHORT OUT OR FAIL DUE TO CORROSION. FAILURE OF THE ASSEMBLY CAN LEAD TO SOMEONE MISSING A TURN SIGNAL, A STOP OR NOTICE THAT YOU ARE BACKING UP. I BELIEVE THESE FAILURES INCREASE THE POSSIBILITY OF HAVING AN ACCIDENT. BASED PRIOR EXPERIENCES WITH OTHER VEHICLES I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I'M THEORIZING THAT BECAUSE THE REAR OF MY VEHICLE CATCHES THE EVENING SUN IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THESE WERE DESIGNED USING CHEAPER MATERIALS THAT POTENTIALLY DID NOT PROVIDE FOR THE ABILITY TO HOLDUP TO THE UV RAYS OF NATURAL SUNLIGHT. THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THIRD LIGHT ON THE CAB RECEIVED MORE SHADE DUE TO A NEIGHBOR'S TREE THAT WAS REMOVED LAST YEAR SO THE SUN IMPACT WOULD BE LESS. I NOTICE THERE IS ANOTHER COMPLAINT FOR THIS MODEL YEAR ABOUT A CAB PLACED REAR LIGHT ASSEMBLY ECHOING THE SAME ISSUE.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE CRACKS SURROUNDING MY PASSENGER AIRBAG IN MY 2012 SILVERADO. I BELIEVE THESE CRACKS ARE NOT ONLY A MANUFACTURER DEFECT IN DESIGN BUT ARE ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN REGARDING THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING TOO WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK/SUV. *TR

THIS INVOLVES AN OEM TIRE ON A 2012 CHEVROLET PICK UP TRUCK, SILVERADO 1500. I'M A RETIRED AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEER. TIRE IS MADE BY GENERAL TIRE, SIZE P245/75R/17, DOT P583 BN1. I AM ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY DRIVER. THIS TIRE HAS NEVER RUN OVER ANYTHING BUT ROADWAY SURFACE. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE SIDEWALL PLIES BROKE INTERNALLY CAUSING THE TIRE TO DE-BEAD. I PULLED OVER TO INSPECT. TIRE WAS SMOKING FROM THE INSIDE. IT WAS FULLY READY TO CATCH FIRE. COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SMOKE. I POURED MY ICE TEA DOWN THE INSIDE PART OF RIM AND BACKED TRUCK UP TO SLOSH ICE TEA AROUND INSIDE OF SMOKING TIRE. THERE ARE NO CUTS, STONE BRUISES, OR OTHER OUTSIDE INFLUENCES. THIS TIRE BROKE ITS SIDEWALL. YOU CAN BOTH SEE AND FEEL IT. TREAD AND CROWN AT SAME AREA ARE FINE. TIRE HAS 6/32" TREAD REMAINING. WHEN TIRE WAS REPLACED, THERE WERE HANDFULS OF SHREDDED RUBBER FOUND INSIDE THE TIRE BY TIRE SHOP. I KEPT THE TIRE IF ANY REP WANTS TO INSPECT IT. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS TIRE FAILURE COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATALITY.. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, A DRIVER CUT IN FRONT OF ME AND LITERALLY SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES. I WAS NOT AT FAULT IN THE ACCIDENT. MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AND CAUSED SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO MY HEAD. THE INJURY WAS NOT CONSISTENT WITH AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN CONJUNCTION WITH ME WEARING MY SEATBELT. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A SEVERE CONCUSSION AND MANY OTHER AILMENTS, BALANCE DYSFUNCTION, MEMORY LOSS, PARASYMPATHETIC ANOMALIES, ETC. IT SEEMS IMPOSSIBLE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD HAVE CAUSED SUCH SIGNIFICANT INJURY CONSIDERING THE LOW SPEED OF THE CRASH CORRELATED WITH PROPER SEAT BELT UTILIZATION. *TR

WITHOUT ANY IMPACT OR DAMAGE THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT HAS CRACKED AND THE DEALER WON'T WARRANTY. *TR

I HAD A TIRE BLOW OUT AND DEFLATION WITHIN 10 SECONDS ON A DIRT ROAD. I LOOSENED THE LUG NUTS WITH THE SUPPLIED TIRE IRON AND PULLED MY LOWER BACK MUSCLES (TIRE IRON TOO SHORT). THE LUG NUTS CORNERS ROUNDED OFF (NOT HARDENED STEEL AS THEY SHOULD BE), AND MOST SERIOUS, THE JACK IS A POTENTIAL KILLER. IT HAS A SMALL DIAMETER DISK (APPROX 1AND 1/2 INCH DIAMETER) ON TOP, WITH FOUR SMALL BUMPS ON IT AT 90 DEGREES FROM EACH OTHER. THE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO LOCATE THE JACK UNDER THE REAR AXLE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES INBOARD FROM THE SHOCK ABSORBER ALL BY PUSHING THE JACK WITH THE 4 FOOT LONG JACK HANDLE. VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE IT PROPERLY UNDER THE AXLE. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND GAVE UP AS I COULD NOT HOLD IT IN PLACE UNDER THE AXLE AND CRANK THE HANDLE AT THE SAME TIME. A GOOD SAMARITAN PASSERBY STOPPED AND HE TRIED TO HOLD THE JACK IN PLACE (REACHING OVER THE TOP OF THE FLAT TIRE) AS I CRANKED THE HANDLE. THE VEHICLE WENT UP AND IMMEDIATELY SLIPPED OFF THE AXLE (ON A GRAVEL ROAD). THERE IS NO WAY THAT FOUR LITTLE BUMPS ON THE TOP OF THE JACK WILL HOLD THE JACK IN PLACE UNDER THE AXLE WHILE A PERSON JACKS IT UP. IF YOU CAN KEEP IT IN PLACE AND MANAGE TO JACK THE TRUCK UP, TRY TO REMOVE THE WHEEL AND PUT THE SPARE ON WITHOUT THE JACK FLIPPING OUT OF POSITION AND THE VEHICLE CRASHING DOWN.. IT IS A POTENTIAL KILLER. I WILL NEVER USE THE TIRE JACK AGAIN.... THIS ALL WAS WITH PERFECT CONDITIONS; (EXCEPT THE GRAVEL ROAD) OFF THE HIGHWAY, PERFECT WEATHER, AND DAYLIGHT. TRY IT IN THE RAIN OR SNOW ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY IN THE DARK.... *TR

MY WIFE PARKED THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY JUST OUTSIDE OF OUR ATTACHED GARAGE. SHE LEFT THE VEHICLE RUNNING BECAUSE SHE WAS UNLOADING GROCERIES AND HAD ANOTHER ERRAND TO RUN. WHILE SHE WAS INSIDE THE HOUSE THE VEHICLE STARTED MOVING. ONE OF OUR CHILDREN THAT WAS OUTSIDE SAW THIS OCCURRING AND STARTED TO SCREAM THAT THE TRUCK WAS MOVING. MY WIFE RAN IN AN ATTEMPT TO GET IN THE VEHICLE AND STOP IT BEFORE IT HIT THE WALL. SHE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL AND THE TRUCK CRASHED INTO THE WALL THAT SEPARATES THE GARAGE AND THE FAMILY ROOM CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE WALL AND DOOR THAT LEADS INTO THE HOUSE. MY WIFE STATES THAT WHEN SHE GOT INSIDE THE TRUCK IT WAS STILL IN PARK. THE TRUCK ONLY SUFFERED A SMALL DENT. MY WIFE WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN UP. I WILL BE TAKING THE TRUCK IN ON MAY 31,2014 TO [XXX] IN MIAMISBURG, OHIO. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2012 TEXAS EDITION SILVERADO AUGUST 4, 2012 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED RESPONDING ABNORMAL IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP IT HAD 135 MILES ON IT BEFORE I BOUGHT IT I HAVE 32K MILES NOW AND NOTHING HAS CHANGE ALL THE SAME ISSUES BUT THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING WORST. MY TRANSMISSION HAS A HARD TIME SHIFTING NO MATTER WHAT, UP, DOWN, TURN, FORWARD ALL NORMAL DRIVING MANEUVERS. WHEN IT DOES TRY AND SHIFT THE ENGINE CLATTERS WHICH IS EXTREMELY RIDICULOUS I'VE HAD SEVERAL SILVERADO'S AND THE LAST ONE THAT CLATTER THIS WAY WAS A 1978 WITH PROBABLY OVER 300,000(EXPECTED). MY TRANSMISSION DOES AS STATED BY OTHERS THE COMING TO A STOP SIGN AND APPLYING THE BRAKES THE TRUCK WILL LAUNCH FORWARD UNEXPECTEDLY AND SHIFT EXTREMELY HARD THIS IS THE FIRST NEW VEHICLE I'VE EVER BOUGHT THE LAST 4 WERE ALL SILVERADO FROM 78-94 AND THEY DIDN'T DO THIS. THIS TRUCK ALSO WEARS THE OUTER EDGE OF MY TRES NO MATTER HOW MANY ALIGNMENTS AND BALANCE AND ROTATING I GET DONE. YOU MAY SAY YOUR TIRE YOUR FAULT BUT I'VE LOOKED AT OVER 40 2012 SILVERADO'S IN PARKING LOTS AND SAW THE EXACT SAME WEAR PATTERN THE OWNERS ARE PROBABLY NOT THE TYPE TO CHECK OR CARE. THE BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE $30,000 I PAID FOR THIS THING AND EXPECTED IT TO RUN FOR THE NEXT 20 YEARS BUT I'M AT LESS THAN 2 YEARS AND IT FEELS LIKE THE TRANSMISSION AND ENGINE ARE GOING TO JUMP OUT AND FLY THROUGH AN INTERSECTION LEAVING ME AT A GREEN LIGHT. IF I WERE TO LET ANY CHEVY "BIG SHOT" DRIVE THIS FOR 1 WEEK AS THEIR DAILY DRIVER (IT'S MY DAILY) THEY WOULD PROBABLY STOP DRIVING IT ON DAY 1 AND ASK ME HOW I'VE DONE IT FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS. MY REPLY WOULD BE I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO GET ANOTHER ONE AND YOU "BIG SHOT" NEED TO GET THIS FIXED. ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY (NO MONEY) OVER WORKED UNDER PAID. TOOK MY SAVINGS BOUGHT A TRUCK THAT I WAITED 23 YEARS TO BUY AND THEN THE THING IS IN WORST SHAPE THAN THE 1994 EXTENDEDCAB I HAD. *TR

PARKED FACING UPSLOPE. THE TRUCK SLIPPED OUT OF PARK GEAR AND ROLLED DOWNHILL BACKWARDS, KNOCKING OVER OWNER. FINALLY HIT A TREE AND STOPPED. INSURANCE DECLARED IT TOTALED. *TR

THIS FAULT HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE THE FIRST WEEK OF OWNING MY 2012 SILVERADO CREW CAB LT EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.3 LITER AND 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION. UPON SLOWING TO A STOP, THE TRUCK SURGES AND LUNGES FORWARD AS THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS BETWEEN GEARS, AND IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN TRAVELING UP OR DOWN HILLS. THE FAILURE MODE CAN BE TECHNICALLY DESCRIBED AS THE FOLLOWING SEQUENCE OF EVENTS: 1. SLOWING TO A STOP (COASTING), ENGINE BEGINS RIDING OUT 4TH GEAR (FOR EXAMPLE). 2. APPLY BRAKES; TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTS TO 3RD, AND ENGINE RPMS INCREASE TO COMPENSATE FOR DYNAMICS OF SHIFTING. TORQUE CONVERTER IMMEDIATELY ENGAGES THE ENGINE TO THE WHEELS. AS THE ENGINE IS AT A HIGH RPM LEVEL, AN ACCELERATING LOAD IS APPLIED TO THE WHEELS, WHILE BRAKING. 3. THIS CREATES AN UNINTENDED SURGE OF ACCELERATION, WHICH IS THEN ALSO NOTICEABLE THROUGH THE REMAINING GEARS (TRUCK SLOWS, THEN SURGES, SLOWS, THEN SURGES UNTIL COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP). I HAVE ALSO VERIFIED THAT THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT IN THE ONLINE FORUMS, AND MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS FAULT. IN FACT, ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS ACTUALLY INFORMED ME THAT MANY OF HIS CUSTOMERS GO TO AN AFTERMARKET SHIFT PROGRAM TO AVOID THE ISSUE. I HAVE TRIED THIS, AND IT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. EACH TIME THE TRANSMISSION IS EVALUATED AT THE DEALERSHIP, THE DAPS (DIGITAL PARAMETERS) ARE "RESET" (ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE SHOPS), AND THE TRUCK DRIVES FANTASTICALLY. HOWEVER, ROUGHLY 10 MILES LATER, IT IS BACK TO EXHIBITING THE EXACT SAME FAILURE MODE. DEALERSHIP HAS TROUBLESHOOT THIS FAULT EXTENSIVELY, AND HAS STATED THAT THIS MODE OF OPERATION IS "NORMAL" - I ASKED THEM TO EXPLAIN HOW FORWARD ACCELERATION DURING BRAKING WAS "NORMAL", AND OF COURSE THEY COULD NOT. *TR

EFM ISSUE: LIFE-TIME CHEVY SILVERADO OWNER, CURRENTLY OWN 2003 & 2012 1500 SILVERADO 1/2 TONS. EVER SINCE GM STARTED USING EFM CHIPS, FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON THE ENGINE WILL LOSE SEVERAL QUARTS OF OIL FOR NO REASON. WITHOUT WARNING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. PULL-OVER & CHECK THE OIL LEVEL. ON EVERY OCCASION, (SEVERAL INCIDENTS NOW), MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE OIL LEVEL BARELY REGISTERS ON THE DIP STICK. WHERE DID 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL GO? YESTERDAY THE OIL LEVEL WAS FULL, TODAY THE OIL LEVEL IS ALMOST NON-EXISTENT - WITHOUT A DROP OF OIL LEAKING ANYWHERE? I NOW HAVE TO CARRY 3-4 QUARTS OF OIL WITH ME EVERYWHERE I GO JUST IN CASE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. GM SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING AND ISSUE A RECALL. WARNING: IF YOU DRIVE A CHEVY YOU BETTER KEEP 4 QUARTS OF OIL WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES IN THE EVENT THIS HAPPENS TO YOU. NOT IMMEDIATELY PULLING-OVER & FILLING THE OIL LEVEL BACK TO PROPER LEVEL MAY DESTROY YOUR ENGINE. FIX THIS EFM ISSUE > LOSS OF OIL, AS IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS AND STILL PERSISTS AFTER 2 COMPLETE MODEL CHANGEOVERS. THIS MAJOR MALFUNCTION IS THE RESULT OF THE EFM SYSTEM DUMPING THE OIL INTO THE EXHAUST & THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER BURNING IT AWAY. THAT IS THE ONLY PLAUSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR LOSING SO MUCH OIL WITHOUT WARNING AND WITHOUT A DROP OF OIL BEING FOUND ANYWHERE OUTSIDE THE ENGINE OR UNDERNEATH THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR CHASSIS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2012 CHEVY OCTOF 2013. NOW AFTER 11000 MILES MY FRAME LOOKS LIKE A TRUCK OUT OF THE 80'S. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THERE FIX IS TO SCRAPE OFF THE RUST AND PUT THE SAME CRAP BACK ON THE FRAME. SO I KNOW THAT THIS ISSUE WILL ONLY LAST A VERY SHORT TIME. *TR

I`M DESPERATE TO FIND AN ANSWER. ITS AN EXPENSIVE TRUCK TO BE DEALING WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE, THE TRUCK DOES NOT RESPOND. THE TRUCK ACCELERATION FEELS LIKE THEIR IS A FLAT SPOT IN THE ACCELERATION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. SEVERAL OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN IN TERRIBLE T-BONE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS MALFUNCTION. BROUGHT THE TRUCK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP & THE SAID THEY REPLACED THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR & IT IS WORSE NOW. *TR

THIS TRUCK HAS CHATTERED, HOPPED, AND HAD BAD BRAKES AS SOON AS WE DROVE THE TRUCK OFF OF THE LOT.

IT HAS HAD 2 NEW WHEELS & NUMEROUS BRAKES, PADS, ROTORS, CALIPERS, DRUMS. & IT STILL VIBRATES. THE DEALERSHIP HAS EVEN PUT ANOTHER TRUCKS TIRES & RIMS ON THE TRUCK & IT STILL VIBRATES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE. WHEN I CALLED THE GM DISTRICT SPECIALIST ON 5/29/13 SHE TOLD ME THAT THE VIBRATION & HIT & MISS ACCELERATION WAS A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE TRUCK. $40,000 TRUCK & IT IS NOT A VERY GOOD RIDE. *TR

THE TRUCK STARED RUNNING ROUGH AGAIN, SO THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER ON 01/23/13. THEY REMOVED AND REPLACED A PISTON, AND REPLACED THE VALVE STEM SEALS. THE CONSUMER RETURNED TO THE DEALER AGAIN ON 01/30/13

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND THE CONTACT SUSTAINED WHIPLASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED BUT PROVIDED NO ASSISTANCE. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE FAILURE WAS UNDETERMINED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000. UPDATED 05/21/2013 *JS

WAS DRIVING UP TO THE STOP SIGN. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD. SORTA LIKE JERKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,500.

HAPPENED DRIVING HOME AFTER BUYING VEHICLE. TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD FROM A COMPLETE STOP AS 1ST GEAR WAS BEING ENGAGED. DROVE IT UNTIL BREAK IN PERIOD WAS OVER AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER WERE THE TRANSMISSION BODY AND VALVES WERE REPLACED. NOW GETTING MORE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING BETWEEN GEARS AT A SPEED OF 35-45 MPH. TRANSMISSION DISENGAGES AND I HAVE NO POWER GOING TO THE WHEELS, LIKE IT SHIFTS TO NEUTRAL FOR A 5-10 SECONDS. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF TRANSMISSION DOES NOT REENGAGE WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. YOU WILL GET REAR ENDED. *TT

I HAVE HAD A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH MY NEW 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LT (5.3 LITER ENGINE) GOING INTO "REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE" WHICH ALSO RESULTS IN THE DISABLING OF STABILITY CONTROL AND TRACTION CONTROL. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION IN THAT IT RESULTS IN A LOSS OF POWER WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE UPON THE ROADWAY. AN AUTHORIZED REPAIR FACILITY HAS REPLACED THE NUMBER ONE AND TWO THROTTLE SENSORS, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ASSEMBLY, THE THROTTLE BODY, THE ALTERNATOR, THE COMPUTER, AND A LARGE GROUND WIRE BEHIND THE DASH. A GM ENGINEER WAS FLOWN IN AND NOW THE REPAIR CENTER IS REPLACING THE ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. THE VEHICLE (WHICH WAS PURCHASED LESS THAN THREE MONTHS AGO) HAS BEEN OUT OF SERVICE FOR APPROXIMATELY 30 DAYS. IN RESEARCHING THIS MATTER I HAVE FOUND THAT CHEVY HAS HAD AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS IN VARIOUS VEHICLES IN ITS PRODUCT LINE SINCE 2003. ALTHOUGH SEVERAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN PRODUCED THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A CONSENSUS REGARDING THE CAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. ALL OF THE PARTS ASSOCIATED WITH TROUBLE CODES C0242, P2127, AND P2138 HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITHOUT RESULT. THIS CONDITION COULD RESULT IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES BEING REARENDED, OR, BECAUSE OF THE LOSS OF STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL, RESULT IN A ROLL OVER. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. *JS

THERE IS A VERY HIGH PITCH NOISE THE IS EMITTED FROM BEHIND THE DASH. THIS NOISE IS DISTRACTING TO THE POINT THAT MY WIFE CAN NOT RIDE IN THE TRUCK LET ALONE DRIVE IT. I HAVE TAKEN THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THAT GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE OF THIS NOISE AND IT IS ACCEPTABLE. *TR

SAFETY CONCERN- POTENTIAL TRAILERING ACCIDENT!!! IT APPEARS THAT CHEVROLET/GM HAS CHANGED THE WIRING IN THEIR VEHICLES SO THAT ELECTRIC TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLERS NO LONGER ILLUMINATE THE TRAILER BRAKE LIGHTS WHEN THE ELECTRIC BRAKE CONTROLLER IS OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY FROM THE VEHICLE BRAKES. ALL BRAKE LIGHTS WORK FINE WHEN THE FOOT BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT NO BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATE WHEN THE CONTROLLER OVERIDE IS APPLIED TO OPERATE THE TRAILER BRAKES INDEPENDENTLY. THERE ARE TIMES WHEN TRAILERING THAT ONE ONLY WISHES TO USE THE TRAILER BRAKES TO SETTLE DOWN SWAYING OR ON LONG DOWN HILL GRADES. 2012 VEHICLES ARE NOT WIRED SO THAT BRAKE LIGHTS ALSO WORK OFF THE CONTROLLER OVERRIDE SWITCH. I HAVE BEEN TOWING FOR OVER 26 YEARS AND BRAKE LIGHTS HAVE ALWAYS WORKED BOTH ON THE FOOT BRAKE AND CONTROLLER OVERRIDE BRAKE SWITCH. THIS IS A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. IF ONE APPLIES THE TRAILER BRAKES ALONE WITH NO BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATING, THIS COULD CAUSE ANOTHER VEHICLE TO SLAM INTO THE BACK OF THE TRAILER AND TOW VEHICLE CAUSING A CRASH. CHEVROLET STATES THEY CANNOT CONNECT THE TRAILER CONTROLLERS TO OPERATE THE BRAKE LIGHTS AS IT WOULD BACK FEED POWER INTO THE ELECTRONICS OF THE VEHICLE VOIDING ANY WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. TRAILER BRAKES LIGHTS ONLY WORK AS CONNECTED TO THE VEHICLE WIRING WHEN STEPPING ON THE FOOT BRAKE. *KB

THIS IS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH A SET OF GOODYEAR EAGLES LS-2 TIRES. WITH ONLY 1300 MILES ON THE VEHICLE, I HAVE ALREADY SLID THREE OR FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES, INCLUDING SLIDING INTO THE MEDIAN TWICE. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THESE TIRES TO STAY ON THE ROAD OR WHEN PULLING OUT OR GOING AROUND A CURVE. THESE TIRES SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. *TR
