I HAD A SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT T ON IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICK UP TRUCK. I WENT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED.AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I FELT THAT THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. I CALLED G.M. AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AND THE SALT AIR IN MY AREA CAUSED THE CORROSION AND G.M WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE. I TOLD THE PERSON THAT I WAS TALKING TO THAT APPARENTLY G.M. M,UST BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IF THEY KNOW THAT THE SALT AIR CORRODES THE SENSORS. FURTHERMORE I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLE INFLATE WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THUS CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FILE NUMBER (71-1127296694) AND TOLD THE MATTER WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I LATER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A G.M. REP. WHO SAID HE LOOKED INTO MY COMPLAINT AND SINCE IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE G.M. WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I THEN STATED TO HIM THAT I WAS AWARE THAT CHRYSLER RECENTLY HAD A RECALL OF VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE CORRODING. I WAS TOLD THAT G.M. HAD NO SUCH RECALL. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CORRODED SENSORS COULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY THUS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SWERVE AND POTENTIALLY GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER CORP. MUST HAVE REALIZED THIS BECAUSE

RAILROAD HYRAIL VEHICLE EQUIPPED, AFTER MARKET, WITH HYRAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLIES WHICH ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE ON RAILROAD TRACKS. ONCE HYRAIL (FLANGED) WHEELS ARE RETRACTED, THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED OVER THE HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC ROADS LIKE ANY OTHER VEHICLE. ON 7/27/12 NEAR EAGLE NEST, AZ A RAILROAD EMPLOYEE WAS OPERATING VEHICLE ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS WHEN IT STRUCK A STANDING TRAIN AT 38 MPH. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND RAIL EMPLOYEE WAS KILLED. CONCERN IS THAT THE INSTALLATION OF HYRAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLIES MIGHT BE IMPACTING THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE HYRAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLIES EXTEND APPROX. ONE FOOT OF STEEL FRAMEWORK AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS. THE PLACEMENT OF THESE ASSEMBLIES MIGHT INADVERTENTLY BE AFFECTING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN CRASHES ON THE RAILROAD TRACK AND ON PUBLIC ROADS. *TR

CHEVROLET DEALER (PALM CHEVROLET OF PUNTA GORDA FLORIDA) SAID THIS WAS NORMAL WEAR & TEAR AND THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES NEEDED REPLACED DUE TO RUST. THEY CHARGED $343. FOR JUST 1 BRAKE LINE. THEY WOULD NOT HONOR A 10 YEAR 100,000 MILE WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASED WITH THE VEHICLE FOR $1,200. TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD WITH 39700 MILES ON IT. *TR

VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GARAGE OVERNIGHT,GET IN TO START ,SHIFT LEVER IN PARK,TURN ON KEY,VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION SENDS OUT A "CLUNK", AS IF TO ENGAGE AND GO FORWARD OR BACKWARD. THIS TYPE OF ACTION STARTED AROUND 8000 MILES AS A SLIGHT, "CLUNK" EXTENDING INTO 49000 MILES WITH A HARD JARRING"CLUNK". OF COURSE I TOOK IT TO DEALER IN THE COURSE OF THE WARRANTY ,HAD THEM NOTE AND RECORD DEFECT,HOWEVER DEALER COULD NOT GET VEHICLE TO PERFORM THIS OPERATION WHILE IN THEIR POSSESSION WHICH EXTENDED OVER NIGHT AND SOMETIMES 2 NIGHTS. WHILE THE VEHICLE DOES NOT DO THIS ON A REGULAR BASIS,IT IS NOTABLY GETTING A HARDER SOUNDING, MORE PRONOUNCED "CLUNK". THE SHIFTING NOISE OF THE TRANSMISSION IS BECOMING EVIDENT, THAT IS IN LOW SPEED THERE IS MORE ROUGH CLUNKING AS THE TRANSMISSION GOES THROUGH IT'S GEARS. *TR

DRIVERS SIDE DOOR CAUGHT ON FIRE WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND RUNNING. BURNED WIRE AND SMOKE EVIDENT. *TR

THE DASH BOARD CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I WOULD THINK THIS WOULD AFFECT HOW THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. GM WILL NOT REPLACE THE DASH, ONLY COVER HALF THE EXPENSE. THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE AS THEY HAVE ADDED REINFORCEMENTS IN THE AREA OF THE DASH THE CRACKS. *TR

AFTER BUYING MY TRUCK I NOTICED A "TICK" NOISE FROM THE EXHAUST ON MY TRUCK. AFTER TAKING MY TRUCK TO THE SHOP I WAS TOLD THAT MY EXHAUST BOLTS INTO THE ENGINE WERE BROKEN.

I AM GETTING A NOTICEABLE VIBRATION IN THE DRIVE TRAIN AT ABOUT 45 MPH. IT FINALLY SUBSIDES AT AROUND 55 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE OIL LEVEL CHECKED IN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE REAR END OIL CHECKED. ALL IS OK IN THOSE AREAS. CONTACTED A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND EXPLAINED THE SITUATION ON THE PHONE AND I WAS TOLD THAT IS WAS NORMAL FOR THAT MAKE, MODEL AND DRIVE TRAIN. ALSO HAD THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING LOOSE THAT MIGHT CAUSE THE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AND ALL IS OK. NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. JUST STARTED. CHEVROLET WON'T BOTHER WITH IT.

ABS SENSOR READS INCORRECTLY AND TRIGGERS THE ABS SYSTEM TO KICK IN EVERY TIME THE BRAKES ARE USED, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO RUMBLE AND GIVING THE SENSATION OF BRAKE FAILURE WHEN THE PEDAL GOES SOFT UNDER YOUR FOOT. THIS IS WORSE WHEN TURNING LEFT. EXTRA DISTANCE IS REQUIRED FOR BRAKING AT ALL TIMES. ABS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AT RANDOM TIMES FOR NO APPARENT REASON.

ON 10/18/2010 RETURNING HOME FROM VACATION, MY RIGHT FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY SUFFERED SEVERE INTERNAL FAILURE. THE DEALER IN SOUTH CAROLINA REPAIRED MY VEHICLE, AND COVERED THE EXPENSE OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THEY ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND RESURFACED THE ROTORS WHICH WERE DAMAGED TO THE SEVERE INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLY. I CAN UNDERSTAND THE MALFUNCTION OF THE PART, IT HAPPENS. BUT, ON 12/17/2010 THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY SUFFERED INTERNAL FAILURE, AGAIN THE DEALER COVERED THE EXPENSE OF THE REPLACEMENT PART AND LABOR UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. I BELIEVE THEIR MUST BE A PROBLEM FOR BOTH FRONT WHEEL HUB ASSEMBLIES TO FAIL, I ONLY HAVE UNDER 30,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THANK YOU.
