2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 complaints

MY 2011 SILVERADO DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACE AND IM ONLY THE SECOND OWNER OF THE TRUCK. I FEEL SHARP PIECE OF PLASTIC COULD BECOME HAZARDERS DURING A CRASH.

2011 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LTE WITH 41,780 MILES AND A CRACK ON TOP OF DASH FROM VENT TO AIRBAG.

DASH CRACKING ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG. NOTHING HIT OR WAS DROPPED ON DASH, CAME OUT ONE DAY AND THERE THE CRACK WAS.

DRIVERS SIDE INSIDE HANDLE BROKE. WAS ATTEMPTING TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, WHEN THE LEVER BROKE OFF IN MY HAND. HAD TO ROLL WINDOW DOWN TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. I WOULD BE UNABLE TO EXIT THE VEHICLE QUICKLY IN AN EMERGENCY.

DASH IS CRACKING BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER AND I WORY THAT IT MAY BECOME SHRAPNEL IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGES TO SERVICE BOTH OF THESE SYSTEMS ARE IN MY INFORMATION CENTER. MY BRAKES ARE NOW DRAGGING THE ROTORS DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND A RECALL NEEDS TO BE IMPLEMENTED TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. THIS STARTED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AT THE TOP LEFT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS WAS NOTICED THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE IS VERY WELL CARED FOR.

THE FUSE RELAY BLOCK ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES NEARLY CAUGHT FIRE WHEN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AND HEATED MIRRORS WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN WITH THE KEY REMOVED. THE PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO A BAD GROUND ON CIRCUIT G200, THIS IS PART OF THE SWITCH CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS THE MIRRORS AND DEFROSTER. GM HAS DESIGNED A CIRCUIT THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO TURN ITSELF ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED! BUT EVEN WORSE GM REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE PARTS OR LABOR TO REPAIR MY TRUCK. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WHILE INITIALLY ENCOURAGING GM HAS REFUSED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. HOWARD THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT GM COULDN'T DISCLOSE TO ME THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL HELP THEY OFFERED THE DEALERSHIP, IT TURNS OUT THEY DIDN'T OFFER ANY HELP AT ALL. I'M NOT SURE I WILL BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALONG THE TOP BY THE AIRBAG. DASHBOARD ALSO HAD DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY THE BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THESE CRACKS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS.

ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE, THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE CRACK IS LOCATED NEAR THE AIRBAG AND IN THE MIDDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE HUMP.

THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE AIR BAG POSSIBLY DEPLOYING INDEPENDENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. UPDATED 06/15/16*LJ UPDATED 06/20/16.*JB

2011 CHEVY SILVERADO LT WITH A CRACKED DASH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND BY THE AIRBAG. ALWAYS HAVE A SUN SCREEN OVER DASH DURING THE DAY AND IN THE GARAGE WHEN AT HOME.

DASHBOARD AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG IS SPLITTING AS MANY OTHER ARE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE STRESS ON THE DASH FROM ABRUPT AIRBAG INFLATION, PLASTIC COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 AND THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO MY GM DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK PHOTOS AND TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BUT HAS NOT. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND GET HIM TO HELP ME WITH GETTING THIS REPAIRED THROUGH GM AND HE SHOWS NO CONCERN. VEHICLE HAS SUSTAINED TO IMPACT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND TOP LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG HAVE NOT YET GONE TO THE DEALER BUT AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS I'M WILL GET LINE WITH THE OTHER LOYAL CHEVROLET CUSTOMERS AND WAIT FOR A ANSWER

2011 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 RECALL.

MYSELF AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS DASH'S ARE CRACKING RANDOMLY IN OUR CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUPS. MINE IS CRACKED JUST TO THE UPPER LEFT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED AN ISSUE HAVE OFFERED TO PAY $590 TOWARDS THE REPAIR. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME RESULTS OR WORSE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE GM BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AS I BELIEVE THIS IS AN SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYING IN AN EMERGENCY.

AFTER THAT THE STABILITRAK AND THE ANTI SKID AND THE ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON TAKING AWAY MY ANTI LOCK BRAKES AND MAKING MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I ALSO HAUL MY HORSE SO IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO MOVE MY HORSE ANYWHERE WHEN THIS SERVICE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. IT HAS NOT COME ON WHILE HAULING ANYTHING.

MY PROBLEM STARTED AROUND OCTOBER 25, 2014, A WEEK BEFORE I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.. THE BACK BRAKES STARTED TO CHATTER WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. IT WAS COMING FROM THE BACK BRAKES NOT THE FRONT.. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE INSPECTION SHOWED THE LR WHEEL CYLINDER LEAKING HEAVILY AND CONTAMINATION SHOES. RR ALSO SEEPING. NEC TO REPLACE REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS AND BLEED SYSTEM. REPLACED REAR SHOES AND CLEANED AFFECTED AREAS. RESURFACED DRUMS AND REASSEMBLED. I PAID $514.74 FOR THIS, AND WITH A REWARD CARD, I GOT $15.00 OFF, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO $499.74. I TALKED TO THE SERVICE MGR. FROM HAMILTON CHEVROLET ON 11/7/14, AND HE SAID HE WOULD SEE IF HE COULD GET ME A REFUND FOR HALF OF THE CHARGE, AND SHOULD GET THE CHECK FROM GM IN ABOUT TWO WKS. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A GM PROBLEM, AND WITH ONLY 35, 574 MILES ON MY TRUCK THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I AM A 73 YR. OLD RETIRE, AND HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR REALLY SET ME BACK. I HAVE OWNED MANY GM VEHICLES, AND HAVE NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES, AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE SERVICED REGULARLY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD LOOK INTO THIS, AND GET BACK TO ME. THANK YOU. *TR

SERVICE AIR BAG. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AND WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP CAUSING IT TO COLLIDE WITH THE BRICK BUILDING I DO NOT WHAT THE TRUCK SPEEDED UP TO BUT BOTH OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF AND I MISSED A LITTLE 5 YEAR OLD GIRL BY ABOUT 2 INCHES. *TR

I HAD CLOSED ONE OF MY DOORS ON THE DRIVER SIDE WITH PRETTY STRONG FORCE (SLAM), AND THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES. THE SEATBELT PRE-TENSIONERS ALSO LOCKED UP. THE AIRBAG NEARLY MISSED STRIKING MY PASSENGER WHO WAS SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN IT OCCURRED. *TR

THE AUTOMATIC BELT TENSIONER PULLEY IS IN THE PROCESS OF GOING OUT. THE PULLEY ITSELF IS SLOWLY SUFFERING FROM A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE WHICH IS CAUSED BY BEARING FAILURE. WITH THE CURRENT MILEAGE THE PART IN QUESTION SHOULDN'T BY ANY MEANS BE FAILING, THE TENSIONER WORKS FINE BUT THE PULLEY WOBBLES A BIT TOO MUCH. IF THE PULLEY CONTINUES TO WOBBLE MORE AND FINALLY RESULTS IN CATASTROPHIC FAILURE IT CAN SHRED THE SERPENTINE BELT WHICH WILL RENDER THE VEHICLE USELESS OR EVEN BECOME A DANGER TO ANY AND ALL OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE ESPECIALLY IF IT FAILS ON THE HIGHWAY. IF THE BELT GOES OUT IT CAN BEND OTHER PULLEYS OR SHEAR OFF PULLEYS, BOLTS, OR EVEN BEND THE HARMONIC BALANCER (ENGINE VIBRATION DAMPENER) WHICH WOULD RESULT IN A BLOWN OR SEIZED UP ENGINE. I'LL ALSO ADD THAT THE BELT COULD CAUSE A FIRE IF IT GETS WEDGE BETWEEN OTHER SPINNING PULLEYS AT THE TIME OF THE PULLEY'S BEARINGS OVERHEATING AND THE PULLEY EITHER BREAKING OFF OR CAUSING THE BELT TO SHRED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, FUEL LEAKED CONTINUOUSLY ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THEN TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE FEEDER FUEL LINE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER FUEL WAS DISPENSED INTO THE FUEL TANK TO THE FULL CAPACITY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE TRUCK I PURCHASED HAS A MAX TOWING PACKAGE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SAFELY TOW 10,600# IN CREW CAB CONFIGURATION. I HAVE A 28' PACE DAYTONA TRAILER THAT WEIGHS UNDER 8,000# AS I TOW IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE TRUCK HAS A VERY SEVERE SWAY ISSUE. IT IS FRIGHTENING TO DRIVE AS THE TRAILER STARTS SHIFTING THE REAR OF THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT WITH THE TRUCK AS YET, BUT I FEEL THE SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE IN MICHIGAN TO ASK FOR ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE. THEY SAY THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION THAT CAN HELP SOLVE MY PROBLEM. I WAS INSTRUCTED TO BRING THE TRUCK AND TRAILER TO LONE STAR CHEVROLET IN HOUSTON WHERE I PURCHASED THE TRUCK. SEVERAL VISITS THERE AND TALKING TO SEVERAL SERVICE PEOPLE HAS YIELDED NO HELP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK CAN'T PULL A TRAILER OF THAT PHYSICAL SIZE. ODDLY ENOUGH, THE 2012 MODEL TRUCK ADVERTISES A NEW SWAY CONTROL FEATURE. THIS 2013 BROCHURE EVER DEPICTS A SCENE OF THE TRAILER SWAYING AS MINE DOES, WITH A BOX TYPE TRAILER IN THE ADD. SINCE CHEVROLET CLAIMS IT HAS NO HISTORY OF THIS BEING AN ISSUE, I FELT THAT I SHOULD NOTIFY SOMEONE OF THIS UNSAFE SITUATION WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE. THANKS FOR ALLOWING ME TO SHARE MY PROBLEM WITH SOMEONE WHO MIGHT RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AND TRY TO PREVENT A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN HE PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR IT MADE A VERY LOUD CLANGING SOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS NORMAL SINCE ALL OF THE NEW GM VEHICLES MADE THAT NOISE. THE FAILURE RECURRED REPEATEDLY BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER TIME. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FRAME AND SUSPENSION HAD EXTENSIVE RUST ON IT. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE RUST WAS NOT A PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF BOTH FAILURES BUT OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

STEERING COLUMN BROKE IN PASSENGER SIDE IMPACT. FULL LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE. CAN SPIN STEERING WHEEL IN COMPLETE CIRCLE. *TR

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT TO MY VEHICLE I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE FROM A COMPANY AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS OUT OF THE VEHICLE SINCE I MADE THE PURCHASE. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE TIRES, THEN REPLACED ONE OF THE RIMS BUT THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST THEY ALSO DID A FRONT END ALIGNMENT, THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT TO NEXT TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, THERE IS A SHAKING OR VIBRATION IN THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS DRIVEN. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS WITH GM AND STILL THE MATTER HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED. *TR

WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN ON A ROAD THAT HAS AN INCLINE, WHEN REMOVING MY FOOT FROM THE BRAKE TO THE GAS PEDAL, THE TRUCK ROLLS BACKWARDS AND WILL NOT STOP AT ALL UNLESS THE BRAKE IS RE-APPLIED OR THE GAS PEDAL CAN BE PUSHED BEFORE THE VEHICLE ROLLS TOO FAR BACK. TALKED TO DEALER AND HAD VEHICLE IN TO BE CHECKED AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY TO ELIMINATE STRESS ON THE TRANSMISSION AND IT WAS MEANT TO FREE ROLL FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION AS VEHICLE COULD ROLL BACKWARDS INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE, PERSON, OR OBJECT. ON A VERY STEEP INCLINE, THE VEHICLE KEPT ON ROLLING BACKWARD FOR SEVERAL FEET AND UNLESS I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE OR GAS IT WILL CONTINUING TO ROLL BACKWARDS. *TR

SPEED CONTROL (CRUISE) DOES NOT HOLD. WHILE GOING DOWN AN INCLINE FROM THE MOUNTAINS, CRUISE CONTROL WAS SET FOR 65 MPH, AND THE VEHICLE INCREASED SPEED TO 85+ MPG BEFORE APPLYING BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND TOOK VEHICLE TO BE CHECKED IN REGARDS TO THIS INCIDENT, AND THEY STATED THAT DUE TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, NEW EMISSION STANDARDS THAT TRANSMISSION WAS MADE NOT TO HOLD SO AS NOT TO INCREASE CARBON FOOTPRINT. THIS CAUSES A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION WHEN DRIVING WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL IS ENGAGED. *TR

I OWN A CHEVROLET 2011 1/2 TON TRUCK AND I NOTICED DAYS AFTER I BOUGHT IT THAT THE RIGHT COLUMN BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSANGER WINDOW CREATES A BLIND SPOT FOR THE DRIVER THAT ALMOST COST ME AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I COULD NOT SEE A MOTOCYCLE COMING FROM MY RIGHT IN THE INTERSECTION ABOUT TO DO A LEFT TURN. *TT

I PURCHASED VEHICLE USE, WITH 384 MILES. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION BECAME VERY LOUD, WHINING, GROWLING, MAKING CLUNKING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING; DOWNSHIFTING AT TIMES PRODUCED RUNAWAY SHIFTING, CLUNKING AND SLIPPING. TOOK IT TO ONE CHEV. DEALER AND SERVICE WRITER SAID HE HAD A CHEV P.U. JUST LIKE MINE AND IT DIDN'T MAKE THOSE NOISES. WENT BACK AGAIN AND DEALER FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT APPLIED TO MY TRANSMISSION. THEY ORDERED PARTS, INSTALLED THEM, BUT NO CHANGE. WENT BACK AGAIN AND THE SERVICE SHOP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THERE WAS NOTHING MORE THEY COULD DO FOR MY P.U. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY SAID IT NEEDED FRONT AND REAR PLANETARY GEARS. PARTS WERE ORDERED AND INSTALLED, AGAIN NO CHANGE. WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY DROVE MY P.U. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY P.U. ! I SPOKE WITH A DISTRICT SPECIALIST AT G.M. AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD CONTACT THE DEALERSHIP! IT IS NOW JUNE 5, 2012 AND I AGAIN CALLED GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND THEY SAID THE WOMAN WHO HAD MY CASE NO LONGER WORKS IN THAT DEPARTMENT AND THEY WOULD ASSIGN ANOTHER SPECIALIST. SHE/HE WOULD CALL ME TODAY, MAYBE TOMORROW. I TOLD THEM ENOUGH IS ENOUGH AND I WANTED ANOTHER VEHICLE! *TR

JUST SECONDS AFTER HAVING COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS WHILE RPMS INCREASE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO OVERCOME THE BRAKE PRESSURE AND TRUCK TO MOVE FORWARD ABRUPTLY. THIS CAUSED ME TO ROLL OUT INTO THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND STRIKE A VEHICLE AS IT WAS PASSING. *TR
