THE DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND THE DOOR TRIMS ARE ALL FALLING OFF.

AFTER PARKING MY TRUCK IN DRIVEWAY. I CAME OUT THE NEXT MORNING TO FIND MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS UP AND THE TRUCK DEAD. THE ONLY LIGHT THAT WOULD COME ON WAS THE ENGINE LIGHT. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION, THE FUSE BOX HAD MELTED AND CAUGHT ON FIRE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I DO NOT SEE A RECALL ON GENERAL MOTORS WEBSITE.

ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION WITHOUT WARNING DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY TRUCK STARTS DINGING FOR MY ENGINE OIL PRESSURE IS LOW AND TO SHUT OFF ENGINE IMMEDIATELY. I PULL OVER AND CHECK OIL AND IT IS NOT EVEN ON THE DIPSTICK. I AM 1600 MILES INTO MY OIL CHANGE SO AS RECOMMENDED BY CHEVY I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE MY OIL BUT EVERY 5000 MILES, BUT I HAVE ALWAYS CHANGED IT EVERY 3000. SO I SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER 1400 MILES TO GO BEFORE CHANGING BUT INSTEAD IN ABOUT 3 QUARTS LOW. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME BUT I WATCH IT VERY CAREFULLY SINCE THE LAST TIME. NOW I AM WORRIED IT WILL TOTAL MY ENGINE AFTER SEEING HOW MUCH OIL IS BEING BURNED. NEVER A DROP ON THE GROUND JUST GOING SOMEWHERE IN THE ENGINE. *TR

WHILE EXITING A PARKING LOT TO TURN NORTH, THE STEERING FAILED CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO GO ACROSS ONTO THE MEDIAN BEFORE I STOPPED THE VEHICLE. THE MOTOR SHAFT OF THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING SNAPPED.

TAKATA RECALL. GM SAYS ON NHTSA WEB SITE THAT THEY CONSIDER MY TRUCK SAFE TO DRIVE ALL THEY DID WAS TURN THE AIR BAG OFF. WHICH MAKES A KEY SAFETY COMPONENT INOPERABLE THIS IS NOT EXCEPTABLE. AND THEY STILL CAN'T REPLACE THE INFLAITER, I AM FORCED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE THIS IS ALSO UNEXCEPTABLE. MY QUESTION IS - IS THIS AN EXCEPTABLE REMEDY EVEN IF TEMPORARY TO THE NHTSA. I FEEL AS THOUGH GM HAS REPLACED ONE POTENTIAL TRAGEDY WITH ANOTHER. I AM CONSIDERING CONTACTING A LAWYER. MY VEHICLE IS NOT ALWAYS STATIONARY

CRACKING DASH IN CORNERS OF AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DASH WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND NOW THE REPLACEMENT DASH HAS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOTS. I HAVE CONCERNS OF AIRBAG SAFETY.

MY DASHBOARD HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, AND MY VEHICLE STAYS IN A GARAGE WITH THE WINDOWS CRACKED TO PREVENT OVERHEATING. I HAVE HAD THESE CRACKS SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND GM WILL NOT REPLACE IT. IF I WANT IT FIXED I HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET.

MY SEATBELT WILL NOT STAY ENGAGED AT ALL TIMES.

TAKATA RECALL- DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES SURROUNDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD LESS THAN 70,000 MILES. (TRUCK NOW HAS ~109,000) ASIDE FROM THE DASH CRACKING ON A FAIRLY LOW MILEAGE AND VERY WELL KEPT AND MAINTAINED VEHICLE, THE SAFETY FEARS STEM FROM THE POSSIBILITY OF PIECES OF DASH FLYING APART AND STRIKING PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAGS ARE EVER TO DEPLOY. OR IN A SUDDEN STOP, ETC... I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CAN UPLOAD PHOTOS IF NECESSARY.

TAKATA RECALL MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES NEAR THE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS UP THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH THE CRACKS BREING SO CLOSE TO WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED, BUT THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.

THE TRUCK WAS SITTING PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND MY NEIGHBOR NOTICED THAT THE LIGHTS AND WIPERS CAME ON (TRUCK WAS NOT ON, NO KEYS WERE IN IT, NOBODY WAS IN IT OR NEAR IT!). SMOKE THEN BEGAN TO BILLOW OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND A FIRE STARTED. MY NEIGHBOR WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND PUT OUT THE FIRE. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A GARAGE WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THE FUSE PANEL CAUGHT ON FIRE. THEY CALLED GM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE PART. DEALING WITH INSURANCE NOW.

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO CRACK AROUND AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND SPLITTING ACROSS TO CENTER OF DASH. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS COULD SEND SHARP OBJECTS FLYING INTO TRUCK CAB OR POSSIBLY PUNCTURE AIRBAG AS IT DEPLOYS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.00, 2009 ##

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT AREAS, LEAVING HOLES AND SEPARATION IN THE DASHBOARD.

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. THANK YOU *TR

SAME AS MANY OTHERS.CRACK ON DASH BOARD LEFT CORNER CONNECTING TO AIR BAG. CRACK ON TOP OF DASH BOARD ABOVE GAUGES.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER DECLINED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE PER THE RECALL. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE DETAILING THE INTERIOR OF MY TRUCK, L NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH WHERE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS DEPLOY. I ONLY HAVE 69,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DELERSHIP & THE ADVISED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY & NOTHING COULD BE DONE. 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.

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.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE BY AIRBAG IN TOW PLACES AND ON DRIVER SIDE BY WINDOW VENT

THE AFM (LIFTERS) AND CAMSHAFT ALL NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES. THE TRUCK STARTED TO MAKE A KNOCKING SOUND SO I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE OIL AND DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHOWING ON DIP STICK. CHANGED OIL THAT DAY AND TWO WEEKS LATER THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCE POWER MODE. I TOOK TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR AND THEY TOLD BE IT WAS LIFTERS AND CAMSHAFT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON INTERNET IT SEEMS THAT FROM 2007-2013 5.3 ENGINES ARE HAVING OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES DUE TO AFM ACTIVE FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ON TRUCK

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLAECES

SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON THIS MORNING AFTER START UP. RESTARTED TRUCK TO SEE IF WARNING WOULD CLEAR. I STILL HAVE THE MESSAGE AND BELIEVE THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIRBAG OR THE SENSORS.

TRUCK HAD BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT. WOKE UP TO 3RD BRAKE LIGHT ON. OPENED CAB DOOR, SMELLED LIKE SMOKE AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON, WOULD NOT TURN OVER. POP HOOD AND THE FUSE BOX AND WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN ON FIRE, WERE COMPLETELY MELTED. INSURANCE COMPANY WON'T COVER BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT SUBSTANTIAL PROOF OF FIRE, AND COULD NOT FIND SOURCE. FILED A FORMAL COMPLAINT WITH GM AFTER THE DEALERSHIP TOLD US THE WIRING HARNESS HAD BEEN DISCONTINUED (ON A 7 YEAR OLD TRUCK). GM WON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND THE SOURCE, AND THEY HAVE YET TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY DISCONTINUED A PART. WE HAVE NO WAY OF FIXING THIS TRUCK.
