2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Problems & Complaints

Due to General Motors AFM lifter defect and oil consumption issues that have been proven faulty, #4 AFM gave out on us in February of 2026 costing us approximately 5,000 in Engine repairs on our 2013 Chevrolet Silverado plus several tow bills and the inconvenience of not having a vehicle for weeks. GM Recently lost a class action lawsuit for this issue that they have failed to fix but the lawsuit didnt pay enough to fix the issues. GM knew about the oil consumption issues and lifter failures with these vehicles since 2007 and didnt do anything. To this day, there are still issues including on new vehicles.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while the vehicle was stopped at a traffic light or stop sign, the vehicle experienced rough idling. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact was adding engine oil every 3,000 miles. The contact stated that the engine was consuming an excessive amount of engine oil. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, no cause for the failure was found. The contact was informed by the dealer that the oil consumption was normal due to the mileage on the vehicle. A year prior to the failure, there was an abnormal grinding sound coming from the steering wheel while turning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 90,000.

The truck lost power, starred sputtering and misfiring. I shut the engine down, restarted and was able to drive it home. This same issue occurred a couple more times but each time it was restarted it drove okay. I started doing research and found a history of this same issue being reported by other owners and upon complaining to GM, nothing was done. I stopped driving the truck and it has been sitting for 3 years now. On April 22 2024 I had the truck towed to Stingray Chevrolet to have the issue checked. I was informed that the engine was would need to be replaced at a cost estimated to be 18K. I had the truck towed back to my home and it has been sitting, until I decide what I am going to do. I have continued investigating and I have found where GM acknowledged there were engine issues that dated back from 2013/2014 more than 10 years where the same problems were reported. Several law suits were found to have been filed with some wins and some losses including class action suits. I wrote GM and asked them to step up, do the right thing and replace the engine. They refused naturally so I have been waiting, contemplating my actions but the fact still remains. GM built and sold defective engines back into the early 2000's and replaced these 5.3L V8's with another engine that there are still defects being reported. I would like for GM to fully replace the engine including all components and Auxiliary devices on my truck, at no cost to me. Give it another 100K mile guarantee and compensate me for the 3 years I have not been able to use my truck.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, there was an abnormal fuel odor inside the cabin of the vehicle with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, who diagnosed that the subframe of the vehicle and the rear cross member were severely rusted, causing the fuel tank to become unsecured. The mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. Additionally, the mechanic stated that the catalytic converter was faulty and created a fire hazard. The vehicle was not repaired. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000. The VIN was not available.

Front end, yes it is available for inspection upon my request. My safety wasn’t very safe the truck felt like the front wheels and back wheels were going to come out from underneath me. Vehicle has been to many shops and I have fixed some parts myself because of prices to pay at shops. The vehicle had at least two lights on the dash about the ABS & STABILITY TRACK

pistons replaced at 40000 miles due to technical service bulletin , now Active engine management lifters failed causing complete engine replacement , due to wiped cam and lifters and metal contamination.

The frame is completely rusted My mechanic said it is paper thin and is in danger of falling GM is not offering to fix this even though it is a TSB It is very dangerous to drive

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed low speed, the vehicle made an abnormal sound, and the control arm detached from the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the subframe was corroded. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact parked and stopped driving the vehicle due to safety concerns. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 44,000.

I was sold a vehicle by a dealership with a completely unsafe frame. The frame is very rotted and has multiple holes and as well as a split open portion on the drivers side that extends down most of the frame. This issue was undisclosed by the dealer. There was also a discovery of rotted suspension components making the vehicle extremely dangerous to myself and others. Another undisclosed issue would be that this vehicles engine does not match the vin number.

Driving down the road and motor died, like when you run out of gas. Would not restart. Had it towed. Engine had to be rebuilt, cost over 5k. Was told by a mechanic who makes a living rebuilding 5.3 motors that motors with active fuel mgmt. and displacement on demand will fail unless your lucky. Valve springs bad, push rods bent, lifters, oil pump, exhaust and intake valves, VVT delete kit, DOD cam, etc….. I researched this problem and it is common and videos all over the internet. Chevy has known this for over 15 years yet still sells these and no recalls. I will NEVER BUY A CHEVY AS LONG AS I LIVE AND I TELL EVERYONE ABOUT THIS. Lucky I was on a country road or it would have been disaster if I was on the freeway. This caused me MAJOR HARDSHIP with my wife disabled and us both seniors, having to spend money we didn’t have.

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while attempting to register the vehicle, it was discovered that there was a mileage discrepancy. The vehicle was a private sale. At the time of purchase, the vehicle mileage was 135,000, and at the time of registration, it was discovered that the mileage was 190,000. The VIN was not available. Local authorities had not been contacted.

4x4 light comes on every once in a while Airbag light come on says service

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V053000 (Air Bags) and requested to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer and manufacturer were not contacted.

2013 Silverado has sustained extensive corrosion damage to frame making vehicle unusable. Obviously, extremely widespread problem that GM has acknowledged was caused by improperly treated frames in a technical service bulletin but no recall has been forced upon them like was done to Toyota years ago for the exact same malfeasance. The truck was always cared for. Severe safety hazard being caused by GM’s poor choices.

The frame on my truck will not pass inspection do to the frame being unsafe to operate. Gm knows about their failing frames but won’t acknowledge. Like decorating my frame will repair the the missing metal on my frame

FRAME RUST THROUGH

Rear wheels lock up while driving. This happened several times and to get it to move again I had to unplug battery for 10 mins. This happened while driving at all speeds and it is so unsafe to drive that I do not feel comfortable driving the vehicle for my safety and the safety of others. I had it towed to the dealership, and they said transmission needed to be replaced and it was not under warranty. I called GM and they told me they could not help and to hire an attorney over some class action lawsuit. I just want my truck fixed!

10s of thousands of these vehicles have the frame rotted thru and crack in the same location. it is unheard of that a frame would rot long before the body panels of the vehicle creating a nationwide road hazard.

2013 Silverado LT 100k miles can't inspect due to frame rot state doesn't allow frame repairing keeps saying to repair the frame. I'm in a northern state with a failed frame costing. I just purchased this vehicle for 11,500 it's worth 15k until the company's negligence to fix the frame issues. Frame swap is upwards of 10k. If the frames were properly coated they wouldn't rot. Also warranty states if you use aftermarket undercoating the warranty is void. I haul a trailer for a living to have a truck with frame rot is unsafe but I have no options. Gpm needs to starts fixing this I've seen 2018s in the junk yard for this reason

The frame of this vehicle is unsafely rusted out, this vehicle has low miles and frame should not have rusted out like it has.

See attached document for complaint.

Just bought this truck 6 months ago and found out frame is rotted out. After further research it seems this is a very common issue and may be alot of these trucks on the road with people also not knowing this issue. 100% safety issue!

Main frame rails have rusted completely through on both sides. Inside by fuel tank. Many other GM owners have reported this issue online. Truck only has 136k and will not pass inspection. Known defect for the factory undercoating was dealer fixed three times prior to the 6 year warranty being expired. It was noted and fixed on the date of purchase in 2013.

Rocker arm on left (as you are facing engine from outside vehicle) back rear left is making a cherping noise when engine gets warmed up. Dealership & 2 separate mechanics say the cam shaft and lifters need replaced, or the whole engine should be replaced. Vehicle has 162500 miles on it. Noise started about a week after my last oil change on 6/11/24.

Due to a failure to properly prepare the frame (GM Service Bulletin 19-NA-255), the frame of my 2013 Chevrolet Silverado has rusted and cracked due to the extensive rusting. I was made aware of this issue by my mechanic while repairing another unrelated issue. Had I not taken my vehicle in for service, I may not have been made aware and the damage could have gotten detrimental to safely operate. My vehicle only has 122,109 miles on it. This rusting jeopardizes the entire structure of my vehicle and all of the components attached to the frame. GM is aware that this is an issue for model years 2011-2024 and has yet to recall the vehicles to remedy the problem.

Frame rusted just about in to !!!!!

I’m not completely aware of the issue but at about 68,000 miles my GM LC9 engine has started ticking. I know GM has been sued in the past for the failure of LC9 engine and wondered if I need to join the lawsuit or if there will be a recall issued?

108k miles and complete frame rusted to the point of not being road safe

On [XXX] pursuant to an appointment, I arrived at Riverside Chevrolet Buick GMC located at 100 Hwy 411 E in Rome Ga 30161 @ [XXX], to have the recalled Takata airbag replaced in our Chevrolet Silverado 1500. At that time, the Dealer failed and refused to replace the defective airbag, without giving a sufficient reason, and I left the dealership.

The frame of my 2013 Silverado has rusted through and the car is no longer safe to drive. It has 94K miles and is otherwise in perfect condition. Last year I had the cross members of the frame replaced because they were totally rotted through. My truck was the 24th Chevy that Amherst Welding had repaired that year. I traded my 2000 Silverado in 2013 to buy my current truck, and the frame on the 2000, was totally sound, and had a lot of life left in it at over 1000K. Toyota replaced the Rusting frames on their trucks, and so should Chevy. I could provide photos if necessary ... I saw the rotted frame when the truck was on a lift.

An independent service center noted the integrity of my frame is compromised due to severe rust. The rear passenger side area of the frame near the gas tank is falling off and holes can be poked thru it. My safety is put at risk if I were to get in an accident or even minor collision. Potential for parts to abruptly break due to the rust/corrosion. No warning lamps or messages have appeared.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while in the process of trading the vehicle at a Toyota dealer, the dealer inspected the vehicle and informed the contact that the subframe was severely rusted. The Chevrolet dealer was notified of the failure and advised the contact to take the vehicle to the location for inspection. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000.

The frame needs to be fixed because when the truck was built it is something with the metal

Truck failed inspection due to cracked frame and excessive rust.

2013 Chevy Silverado undercoated every year since new..(2 owners)... and the frame is rotted. This is disgusting!!! There is a technical service bulletin for frame rust/ rot but not a full recall. Rotted frames are a SAFETY Concern!!!! You need to make GM fix this problem with a full recall!!!!!!!!!!

The frame on my truck rusted through. 52519 miles. There is no rust anywhere else on the truck. The frame could break causing an accident. Frame has been inspected by 2 different body shops. My frame has been repaired by a qualified repair shop. Needed to be replaced but was told by GM there are no new frames for this truck. Could not find a good used one either. My rusty frame was discovered by a technician at Discount Tire when having a tire rotation. As of [XXX] I had no idea the frame was rusted through. Found out after my truck was being repaired that there was a bulletin on it. I have also found out there are many GM vehicles with this problem. Bulletin #[XXX].

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V054000 (Air Bags) and would like to be removed from the recall distribution list. The local dealer was contacted. The manufacturer was not contacted.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the engine made an abnormal sound. The air bag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the alternator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,400.

I took my 2013 Silverado to my local mechanic for an airconditioning repair. While the mechanic was checking the undercarriage he discovered the frame had cracked due to corrosion on the passenger side just behind the cab. My truck has 144k miles and I am apalled that this has happened so soon. This level of corrosion seems very advanced for a 11 year old truck with below average mileage.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated during a State Inspection, the vehicle failed the inspection due to extensive corrosion on the sub frame. The contact was informed that the vehicle would not pass a safety inspection and the contact was denied an inspection sticker. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was advised that there was severe corrosion on the front-end sub frame and members and on the rear-end sub frame and members. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 74,000.

In June 2023 I was doing some minor work and inspection on my 2013 Silverado, while under the truck looking for possible issues before taking a trip to Colorado I noticed the frame had a hole in it, after further inspection of the complete frame and undercarriage I found holes all throughout the frame and also cracks in 2 locations. The truck had 85k, the body is solid, and in great condition, kept in a heated garage. In June I went to a Chevrolet dealer to have an air bag recall repair done, at that time the mechanic did a complete inspection of the undercarriage and never mentioned the safety issue with the rusting frame. I decided to go back to the dealer to question a possible frame recall, in my discussion with 3 service writers they assured me there was no recalls or safety bulletins regarding this. Being highly upset about the frame I started looking for possible issues on the frame. I found hundreds of complaints regarding rusting frames and safety incidents, and a service bulletin that came out in 2014 which has been revised to cover up to 2019 Silverados. This bulletin stated the wax protection to prevent the frame from rusting was pealing off and should be repaired, the dealers were cleaning and sealing the rust locations as the bulletin stated. My complaint is, I never received a notice of the bulletin from GM. If I did I could have tried to take precautions to help prevent the rust from spreading. The Chevy dealership said there was never any frame bulletin or recall. Now my truck is not reliable and definitely not safe! The body and mechanical parts are in great shape. It’s unbelievable that a $40,000 vehicle is unsafe to drive, 10 years old, 85k miles and now worth nothing due to the bad frame. Not sure, but if you have read some of these experiences with other owners, I think you would not want any of these on the road. GM should be held accountable for knowing the frames are failing do to a sealer that wouldn’t stay on the frames.

The frame has completely rotted through and the truck is not driveable as the mechanic has said the frame is likely to crack and that there is severe frame deterioration near the fuel tank putting it at risk of catching fire.

The frame has completely rusted out and the vehicle is no longer roadworthy. Mechanic was shocked it didn’t snap while on the road. Only has 113k miles. Apparently this is a known major issue with these vehicles and costing owners thousands of dollars due to incorrect manufacturing of the frames. Please hold the manufacturer accountable for this defect before someone does get hurt.

My dashboard is cracking and I am concerned that it may be dangerous during a collision if the the airbag deploys and creates a shrapnel situation.

Purchased the Silverado 1500 new in 2013 and was going be my last truck before I retired. Had the truck under coated/rust proofed after the purchase and had it touched up yearly. Went to have it touched up again in 2020 and the shop said they would not do it because the frame was rotting from the inside out. They said it was a GM flaw in there rust proofing system for their truck frames. I also talked to Ziebart about this and they said the same thing. Zeibart will not under coat any GM truck from 2006 to 2018 because they have seen too many frames rotting out. I only have 70,000 miles on the truck and this is totally UNACCEPTABLE. From what I have seen on the internet it also includes GM's mid sized trucks, Canyon and Colorado. I have read stories of owners having vehicle cracks rendering the vehicle dangerous. Right now there are alot of unhappy GM truck owners that are looking for a class action suit. When trucks where built right it was the bodies that rusted out and not the frames. Pictures included.

My 2013 Chevy Silverado's frame is rotten and cracked on both sides to the point where it may be unrepairable. I originally pulled the bed and dropped the fuel tank due to a broken cross member. That is when I found that all three cross members under the bed were completely rotten out and both the main frame rails were cracked. The driver side has a crack over 6 feet long and has began rotting at the crack. The passenger has a crack about 3 foot long. It is clear that the crack on the driver side has been there for years while the dealership continued to inspect the truck. I have driven this truck over 20,000 miles from coast to coast this year and the body is rot free. This broken frame could have caused a catastrophic accident had it let loose on the interstate. I have done my research and found hundreds, possibly thousands of individuals on different forums and other websites that have similar experiences. And in fact was told by a salesperson at the local dealership that they continue to see these same issues in the 2019 and even 2020 models. This is horrible, Chevrolet knows they have a problem and has not taken any recourse to fix the problem. My truck is currently sitting in my driveway with the bed and gas tank removed and the frame is able to be easily inspected.

The frame on my vehicle is cracked and rotted through. It failed an inspection on 12/01/2023 at Memorial Highway Chevrolet 1 Chevy Dr, Winder,Pa 15963 tel. No. 814-467-2220. The service tech told me the frames on this model traps water. I was referred to another garage for a possible repair. This truck is ten years old with 120k miles on it. It has always been service at a Chevy dealership. I am filing this complaint because GM refuses to do anything about a problem they caused. If this vehicle or others like are involved in collisions this defect can cause serious injury or death. How many vehicles are on the highways operating in this condition? How many are running around in states where they do not conduct safety inspections? Please help!

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that upon inspection of the vehicle, he discovered severe corrosion on the suspension. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where pictures were taken of the corrosion and were sent to the manufacturer. The manufacturer informed the contact that the corrosion warranty on the vehicle had expired. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, there was an abnormal knocking sound coming from the engine compartment. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who determined that the rocker arm lifter was stuck in the open position. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 60,000.

When driving sometimes, the ABS light is illuminated along with the traction control and Stabilitrak lights. The DIC says Service Traction Control and Stabilitrak. This issue needs to be fixed immediately as this is a safety issue.

Frame severely rusted through at back of cab by gas tank. Dangerous life threatening if frame would break. On 98,000 miles on vehicle. Was taken to same dealer for all oil changes and repairs and was just told of this issue. Very upset as we have been chev owners for almost 50 years!

Frame is extremely rusted. Integrity of the frame is compromised making vehicle unsafe to drive. Vehicle is available for inspection. If the frame breaks, I and others involved in the possible resulting crash would be injured and/or killed. The independent service center inspected the frame and confirmed the damage due to the manufacturing defect. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer that sold me the vehicle: Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet, 833-699-0792, 3900 West Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43228, before they sold it to me and they claimed it passed their thorough inspection. I purchased the truck on 6/28/21, 28 months ago, and have driven it 7,044 miles. The truck has been driven 92,971 total miles. The frame should not be rusted to the extent it is now and should not have passed the dealer inspection until it was repaired. The rusted frame IS the warning prior to the failure and the rust first appeared years ago on this truck and on many other Chevrolet and GM trucks. General Motors and Mark Wahlberg Chevrolet likely know about this frame defect and should be made responsible to fix it or refund the $20,000 I paid for the truck or other agreed upon compensation.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer or an independent mechanic. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V054000 (Air Bags), but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 57,000.

I went to get a Virginia Inspection and found that the frame on both sides near the fuel tank was rusted completely through. The truck has no other rust spots anywhere.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving 40 MPH, the message "Service Air Bags" was displayed. The dealer was notified of the failure, and an appointment was scheduled for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that an unknown recall related to the failure was previously completed on the vehicle. The manufacturer referred the contact to the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that upon changing the oil, he discovered severe corrosion on the undercarriage sub frame. The contact stated that the rust was located primarily around both rear wheels. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired.

The frame under neath is rusted in two in several places and the springs are broke off I just bought a month ago and owe 19000 on this truck and it's not safe to use

rear drivers side frame near gas tank and rear cross member both rusted through.-- now it fails inspection without major repair--has under 95,000 miles on it

Throughout this truck's lifespan, it's had multiple problems with the engine and fuel system. Around 70k miles, the engine had to be completely rebuilt because of the issues with oil consumption; well known GM 5.3 liter V8 issue. The oil consumption issue then started back up around 140k miles. Once the vehicle hit 100k miles, it started throwing codes for running to lean and too rich, plus it showed the alcohol (ethanol) content at 40%. I've never used E85/20/15/10, but did use 3.5% blended fuel for the first 100K miles. Since then I've switched to 91 premium which does not contain ethanol. However, me readings continue to be over 40% ethanol. All physical parts of the system, that could lead to this issue have been replaced. Recently, my mechanic happened upon Bulletin PIP4792D, which speaks directly to the issue I among countless others are having. In contacting my local dealership and GM, both declined to help unless I paid to have them correct the software issue that is causing this problem. It seems strange to me that a company would expect a consumer to pay for an update to software, when the company is the one who is the cause for the software being bad.

I purchased this vehicle and a few days later found out the frame has practically rusted / rotted and will have to be repaired.

The frame has rusted with holes and is flaking away. The local dealer would not take the truck on trade because of the extensive rust and liability of reselling it.

2013 silverado was in for a fuel leak, which turned out to be a rusted out fuel pump and gas line. However the mechanic found that the frame on either side of the gas tank was severely rusted and recomended to NOT do the repair because the truck was now worthless and would not pass a safety inspection. The truck has only 53500 miles and has been frequently washed underneath and stored mostly inside. A frame repair shop can weld a steel cap over the frame in the affected areas at a cost of over $2000. Seems like GM should bear some responsibility for such poor quality.

Frame is rusted with holes will require expensive repairs to ensure it’s safe to drive .

2013 Chevy Silverado has the active fuel management system, which failed and caused the cylinder 1 to have a collapsed lifter. This is a known defeat of these GM V8 5.3 lilter motors. I feel GM should be required to repair these motors free of cost to the consumer.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that he noticed that the vehicle was leaking fuel. The contact stated he noticed an abnormal odor of fuel around the vehicle. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who informed him the fuel tank was leaking. Additionally, the metal connection for the fuel pump had melted. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000. The VIN was not available.

The frame is rotted and will not pass inspection truck has roughly 47800 miles undercoating for 8 years. This is a known problem due to a manufacturer issue of the frame. Vehicle should have been recalled by GM due to them knowing of this existing issue or owners should be compensates.

Stabiltrack System, Traction Control System, Reduced Engine Power. Since purchase of the vehicle, intermittent immediate failure or previously stated vehicle systems caused critical safety concerns for occupants and other drivers while operating. Vehicle looses power enters safety "Limp Mode" due to faulty engineering. Upon inspection by State Police and Fire/EMS, owners urged to contact vehicle manufacturer and NHTSA to report issue. Failure of system first happened around 140k miles on odometer. No safety or warning lamps were present prior to stated malfunction of vehicle. Malfunction appears now daily causing impaired drivability and serious safety concerns for occupants and fellow drivers. Messages on Dashboard State The Following. "Service Stabiltrack, Service Traction Control, Reduced Engine Power". NO Certain Cause OR Remedy from manufacturer.

We put our truck into a dealership recall for passenger airbag. Next day while driving truck started to buck in middle of traffic had to pull over. No reverse or forward. Waited and then the problem left. Truck is not repaired brought it to a transmission shop has Converter damage.

Takata Recall. The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V053000 (Air Bags). An unknown dealer was made aware of the issue and the contact was informed that the dealer was not responsible for any damages to the dashboard while performing the recall repair. The contact was concerned that the dashboard would be damaged during the recall repair and stated that he should not be responsible for any damages incurred by the dealer. The contact declined to allow the dealer to perform the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue but provided no assistance. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

On my 2013 Chevy Silverado with only 70000 miles I noticed a clunk noise when driving. After bringing it to the dealer I was told the frame was rusted beyond repair. It is not safe to drive at this point. The frame was treated with a wax coating by GM that basically covered the rust for years. It was only till now the wax coating is flaking off exposing holes in the frame. The rear shock mount is barely hanging on to the cross support which is crumbling away. After doing some research I found others silverado owners are experiencing the same thing. I was told by the dealer that it would cost $7000 to put a new frame on. They also told me GM doesn't make that frame anymore and they can't even find any salvage frames. I was planning on towing my travel trailer for many camping trips this year. I can't even imagine what might have happened if I'd never heard the clunk and took it out on the highway. I suspect there are numerous other drivers on the road that don't realize they have the same issue. How a 10 year old vehicle with only 70000 miles on it can have such a rusted out frame is beyond me. This is a junk frame rusted so bad it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Frame of truck is completely rusted out, truck has only 88,000 miles. The body of the truck is in perfect condition with no rust but the frame is shot! This will be over 4,500 dollars to repair, this seems to be a common issue in the Chevy and GMC trucks. I did see on a web site GM had issues on application of a wax sealer on the frames that was thought to be discoverd in 2020. I contacted Chevy at 1-800-222-1020 call center and was told at this time it is out of warranty and thank you for being a valued Chevy customer! I have never had a vehicle in my life of 63 years have a bad frame like this, my wife and I have had over 19 GM vehicles in our life but never a issue like this! These frames are worse than the Toyata Tacoma frames! 10 years old well maintained, frame is shot.

Frame beneath driver and passenger doors is rusting through at the welds. Frame is beginning to crack and I suspect it will break in half. I noticed the crack when I changed engine oil yesterday.

Frame rusted will not pass state inspection. As per my mechanic and state inspection garage truck will not pass upcoming inspection because frame is rusted with holes a danger

FRAME RUSTED OUT , BROKE AND HOLES IN IT . GM IS AWARE AND WONT REPLACE. THE TRUCK IS WORTHLESS AND I STILL OWE 19K ON IT. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE .

On two occasions the vehicle has been parked in our drive way and has rolled away approximately 15 ft until being stopping at a snowbank. There have been no warning lights that would indicate an issue prior to this happening. Searching open recalls, I found that although my specific VIN is not affected by a safety recall, there is a recall for this issue on other 2013 Chevrolet Silverado. I believe my vehicle should be included in this recall. If this were to have happened in another location, it could have resulted in a crash and major damage to bystanders or other vehicles.

The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 5 MPH and going over a speed bump, the contact heard an abnormal banging sound underneath the vehicle like the tailpipe had detached and was striking the undercarriage of the vehicle. The contact also stated that the rear-end of the vehicle was considerably lower than normal. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic who informed the contact that the undercarriage, suspension arms, braces, and frame had rusted through in many large areas, rendering the vehicle unsafe to drive. The contact stated that she contacted her insurance provider who had the vehicle towed to a collision shop. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure.

Chevrolet Silverado rusted out frame safety issue

SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND SERVICE STABILITRAK SYSTEM COMES ON DASHBOARD PERIODICALLY AFTER DRIVING FOR 30 MINUTES THEN GOES OFF.

FRAME IS STARTING TO RUST AFTER 60,000 MILES OF BEING WASHED REGULARLY. AN INVESTIGATION NEED TO BE PERFORMED TO DETERMINE IF MANY SIMILAR MODLES HAVE THIS ISSUE AND ISSUE A FREE FRAME REPLACEMENT IF ITS DETERMINED THAT THE ANTI CORROSION COATING FAILED.

My truck frame has rusted completely through. I have holes in my truck frame. I also have my rear shocks have broke free from my frame. I went back to the dealer the first week i had the truck to have my bed liner installed. At this time i pointed the rust and undercoating that was falling off. The told me they would take care of the problem. I assumed they would, my mistake. I had to go back 2 other times for warranty work on my drive train. Both times I complained about the rust. Each time I returned it was getting exponentially worse. Both times they told me Chevrolet would do nothing about it. That the rust was "normal" Now I have a truck that is not even 10 years old with my frame falling apart.

The vehicle is unsafe to operate around pedestrians and other roadside objects because of the poor visibility, especially at critical moments where visual confirmation is needed like crosswalks, intersections, and parking lots. The A pillars, side mirrors, and tall front profile, block the driver from visually confirming hazards and pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections. While driving, I made a right hand turn and attempted to park roadside. The vehicle was blocking my view of cement barriers placed in the parking space before mine, and the vehicle collided with the barriers. Also, many times I have had to stop just after entering an intersection to keep from hitting a pedestrian, because the vehicle blocked my view.

I bought a 2013 silverado truck with 30,000 miles. I paid $30,000. A year and half later the engine blew. It was 3 months after warranty and I had to pay $8000 to replace. 2 yrs later I heard a very disturbing noise. Mechanic assess and said frame is rusted through. Tubing, gas tank following off. Suspension so rusted it was a miracle it didn’t just fall apart. I again bring it to Chevy (now a 3rd owner in 5yrs) and they tell me they will give me $1000. I still own almost $6000 on the loan due to the engine. There are major issues with this truck. The wax coating they used and poor steel excelled the rust at a rapid pace. If you recoated this with rust resistive spray it would void all warranties. I am now 5 years in with a blown engine and rusted through frame. Chevy has no other solution except to add my balance of that truck into a new loan and buy another. They knew this issue and had multiple opportunities to fix and /or notify. The engine also has class action in a few states because if faulty oil consumption doing damage and blowing engines. There should be some major recalls. I see hundreds upon hundred of people complaining of the same thing. Now I’m out a truck with no value. Cannot work etc. Very financially devastating. GM is incredibly dishonest and knowingly selling defective trucks.

The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the local dealer for servicing, he was informed that the subframe of the vehicle was severely corroded and all cross members of the vehicle needed to be replaced.

2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARD TO TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER HAVING THE RECALL REPAIR PERFORMED, THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THE AIRBAG WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY POWER. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE ENGINE WIRING JUNCTION BOX NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I was told from a mechanic that the header where my spark plugs go is wrapped do to the manufacturer and is causing the spark plugs to misfire. The truck has died at a stop, is causing the truck to run horrible. I am sorry if I am not explaining it all properly. My dad bought this truck brand new in 2013 and he passed away in 2015 and I paid of the car so I could have the memory. So I have had it and been in the truck pretty much off the lot. its has only 95 thousand miles and has had this issue always, but I was always told problems with spark plugs and coils until now. please help

at least once a month gives a false trailer braking error and the truck brakes itself, dash dies, driver loses control over the vehicle. It is a risk of crashing or being hit because the truck stops itself in the middle of driving without brake lights coming on to alert other drivers. No way to overcome this - can't hit the gas pedal, etc. It seems to think that you are hauling a trailer and it thinks the trailer is swaying... problem is this truck has never towed a trailer even one time... it's completely false. But also very dangerous.

I experienced a failure of the BOSCH 4.2 fuel rail pump while driving on Interstate 65 North near Louisville KY at night and my truck had a dead pedal and was unable to accelerate any and I was in the right lane going over a bridge and two tractor trailers were in each lane behind me and having been on the bridge I was unable to leave the lane of travel until I had completely transversed the bridge I was traveling over. I did engage my emergency flashers immediately but having the trucks side by side and the truck in my lane traveling at highway speeds I was almost struck from behind as the tractor trailer applied his brakes and was able to avoid the collision luckily. I took my truck to the local dealership and was told what the issue was and I had it fixed immediately. The price of the repair was $10,362.64 give or take a few dollars. I had a warranty but that company refused to pay since it's not considered part of the engine. Dodge has issued a Recall for the exact same part as far as I am understanding but yet Chevrolet/GMC has not. Thank you very much [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I ow n a 2013 Silverado that I purchased new. I received a recall notice February 2021 which I believe is the second one. I have not been contacted and when I call Chevrolet customer assistance center, my calls are dropped after putting on hold. How long is this to take ? I don't feel safe when I have a passenger with me.

Frame already has holes from rust after only 8 years and was well kept and washed regularly. The vehicle also has about 85k miles

I was notified of the air bag recall in February 2021. To date, I have not heard anything from anyone about replacement of the passenger-side airbag. When I check the recall on line I see that the "remedy is not available". How long do I need to wait to get this resolved?

My 2013 Chevrolet Silverado frame broke when I was driving it down my road with my small kids in tow. When I got home and inspected I noticed my spare tire was not secure and corrosion in the rear of my frame. I had the frame inspected by my dealership and it was confirmed the frame was defective, severely corroded in the mid and rear section. The front was in almost new condition. The stickers still intact. They suggested I contact GM. There were no warning lamps. GM has committed to repairing the vehicle due to the wax coating defect. Now they are not cooperating due to no availability of frame. I have not had a vehicle for almost 5 months. Had I been driving at a high rate of speed when the frame broke or someone hit me there could have been an entirely different outcome as the frame has no integrity. The truck would have crumpled. There are many trucks left on the road with this HAZARDOUS issue. Please see attached photos of well cared for truck and defective frame.

The service stabilitrak/traction control come on (ABS) at random times when driving. The truck begins to shift hard and lose power as I am driving making it very dangerous on the road especially at close proximity to other vehicles. I have taken it in and nothing can be found or done because they can't seem to find the problem. The truck has 73,000 miles on it. I am beyond frustrated and scared to drive it on the freeway because I never know when it will come up; it has been happening once a week (sometimes two) since June 2021. I just don't understand how GM allows this to happen and not fix the problem; it is clearly a danger on the road for myself, family, and others. Please look into this as I have read so many situations of other owners of GM models dealing with this disaster!

bought this truck from Granger DCJR in Orange, tx on 7/20/21. upon further inspection of vehicle on 7/25/21 found that there are no bushings in the rear shocks and that when you steer the truck at low speeds from a stop sign the rack and pinion locks up and you can not steer the truck. the steering issue almost caused me to hit 3 cars and almost run in a ditch. dealer states that they have spent to much money on this truck and refuses to do the repairs. now im stuck with a truck that cant be driven. also this truck supposedly passed a 172 point inspection but i dont see how with these issues.

The manufacturer has known about the problem with the passenger air bag for years and waited until February 2021to issue a recall. When the manufacturer was asked on 7-22-2021 when this problem would be fixed they responded that they do not have a remedy for the problem. It seems to me that they are dragging tier feet in the hope that the problem will fix itself through attrition of the affected vehicles. unless the government pressures the manufacturer by the use of fines or sanctions, they don't have any real reason to fix this problem in a timely manner.

Airbag was repaired under Takata recall on 6/15/21, 24,122 miles on vehicle. Service airbag warning comes on the next day. Back to dealer and they said warning light is not related to what they did and just a coincidence. Hard to believe. Are there any other complaints of this happening ? Thanks

I recently purchased this Pick UP and checked on-line for any Recalls. There was one on the airbag - needs replacement of some components. As of 6/28/21, the Recall still states parts are unavailable. I need to be informed when I need to contact Service Center for Repair.

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK IT STARTED SHAKING, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS CARBON BUILD UP ON THE ENGINE. THERE IS ONLY SIXTY THOUSAND MILES ON THE VEHICLE. GMC SENT OUT A BULLETIN TO DEALERS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THE SERVICE DEPT FLUSH THE ENGINE, BUT THEY CAN NOT PROMISE ANYTHING. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I DID NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK ENOUGH, SO THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BOUGHT THE TRUCK THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS A VERY CLEAN RUNNING TRUCK, NOT AS MUCH POLLUTION. SO INSTEAD OF THE CARBON BLOWING OUT THE TAILPIPE IS IT STAYING IN THE ENGINE? I DO NOT THINK THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT ALL THIS MONEY FOR SOMETHING GMC OVER LOOKED. THIS IS A PROBLEM THEY DID NOT SEE, SO THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENSES. I MIGHT EVEN NEED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT BE SURE THE FLUSHING AND OIL CHANGE WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND IT CAN HAPPEN AGAIN.

TRUCK WAS PURCHASED CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN JUNE 2017, IN JUNE 2018 PROBLEMS AROSE INCLUDING ROUGH IDLING, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATION, AND STABILITRAK OFF MESSAGE ACTIVATION ON THE DASH READOUT. GENERAL MOTORS (GM) TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) #10-06-01-008M WAS ISSUED DECEMBER, 2014 TO ADDRESS THE REPAIR FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE ISSUE WAS MOTOR OIL REACHING THE #1 AND #7 CYLINDERS THUS FOULING THOSE TWO SPARK PLUGS.THE TRUCK WAS REPAIRED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE SAME SYMPTOMS APPEARED AGAIN IN AUGUST 2020 AND THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE SAME ISSUE (MIS-FIRE IN THE #7 CYLINDER) AS DESCRIBED IN THE TSB. SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, GM WOULD NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I CHOSE TO DEAL WITH THE SYMPTOMS MYSELF WHICH INVOLVED INSTALLING NEW SPARK PLUGS IN THE TWO CYLINDERS. IN MID-MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2021), THE SYMPTOMS APPEARED AGAIN AND AGAIN THE #1 AND #7 SPARK PLUGS WERE FOULED WITH MOTOR OIL. IN EACH CASE, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE SYMPTOMS PRESENTED. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT STABILITRAK IS DESIGNED TO HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS BY GIVING THE DRIVER BETTER CONTROL OF THE SILVERADO. IF A SERVICE STABILITRAK WARNING APPEARS, THE SILVERADO WILL NO LONGER BE ASSISTED WHEN A LOSS IN LATERAL TRACTION IS DETECTED. ADDITIONALLY, THE ROUGH IDLING AFFECTS ACCELERATION (LOSS OF POWER.)

DASH CRACKED ACROSS TOP OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ABOVE THE AIRBAG. TOOK TRUCK IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL. WENT TO PICK UP TRUCK FROM RECALL AND FOUND A BIG HOLE ABOUT 3 INCHES IN THE TOP OF MY DASH BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I WAS NOT WARNED BY SERVICE DESK OF POSSIBLE DAMAGE FORM AIR BAG REPLACEMENT NOR WAS I INFORMED BY SERVICE DESK WHEN THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. NOTHING WAS SAID WHEN I PICKED UP MY TRUCK. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DAMAGE A WAS TOLD IT WAS DUE TO UV RAYS. TRUCK HAS 60,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN KEPT IN GARAGE. THEY DID NOT EVEN CLEAN UP THE DASH WHEN THEY WERE DONE. I CAN;T DRIVE THE TRUCK WITH FAMILY MEMBERS IN IT BECAUSE I FEEL IT IS UNSAFE. WILL PROBABLY HAVE TO PUT IN A NEW DASH JUST TO BE ABLE TO TRADE IT OFF. IT IS JUST NOT RIGHT. ANOTHER ISSUE WAS WITH THE ENGINE AND WAS TURNED INTO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT HAS 36,000 MILES. THE ENGINE HAS A MISS WHEN IN PARK OR SETTING AT A LIGHT. THE RPM DROPS 150- 200 RPMS CONTINUOUSLY. AFTER THEY HAD THE TRUCK FOR 3 DAYS I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL. IT WAS THE COMPUTER ADJUSTING FOR EMISSIONS. MAYBE BUT WHY DID THEY GIVE ME A GM STORE VOUCHER FOR 500 DOLLARS? TO BUY ME OFF, SHUT ME UP. WHO KNOWS. IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT.

IMY 2013 CHEVY Z21 HAS STARTED LEAKING SROUND THE LIGHT ON TOP AND BACK LIGHT ON THE HOOD OF THE TRUCK. I NOTICED WET SPOT ON BACK PART OF HEADLINER AND SOME MOLD IN THE AREA. I HAVE FOUND WHERE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAID THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR 2013 SILVERADO, I CAN'T FOUND ANY RECALLS ON THIS. I FEEL THERE NEEDS TIO BE A RECALL FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ABOUT THIS.. MY 3 YEAR OLD SON RIDES IN THE BACKSEAT RIGHT WHERE THE LEAK IS.AND I'M AFRAID IT COULD MAKE HIM SICK

DASH CRACKED-MY DASH WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY ONCE ALREADY. IT WAS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT IS NOW CRACKED AGAIN ACROSS THE FRONT WINDOW DEFROST ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. MY TRUCK IS 7 YEARS OLD AND NOW NEEDS THE DASH REPLACED FOR A 2ND TIME. I THINK THAT IS A BIT RIDICULOUS. EVEN MORE RIDICULOUS IS THAT AFTER IT WAS REPLACED THE FIRST TIME THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME THAT THEY NEW IT WAS A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE BLACK INTERIOR VEHICLES THAT HAD THE GRAY DASH AND THAT IT WILL CRACK AGAIN. WELL ITS 5-6 YRS FROM WHEN I HAD IT REPLACED AND ITS CRACKED AGAIN.

MY STABLE LINK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT KEEP COMING ON AND OFF THEN TRUCK NOT RUNNING RIGHT AND MY STARTER/CRANKING DRAGGING REALLY HARD AND THIS IS MY 3RD STARTER IN 3YRS

LIFTER TICKING AND LIFTER COLLAPSE. STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM WORKING IMPROPERLY AND FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THE TRUCK STARTED TO HESITATE AND JERK. OIL CONSUMER IS EXCESSIVE. THIS ALL OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR OTHER 'IDIOT LIGHT' WARNINGS BEFORE THE LIFTER CLICKING STARTED OR THE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ACTED UP.

I OWN A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WITH 71,453 MILES . THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED REGULARLY AND I RECENTLY NOTICED AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. AFTER A VISIT TO MY USUAL SERVICE GARAGE AND SUBSEQUENTLY A CERTIFIED DEALER., THE PROBLEM WAS ACKNOWLEDGED. I CALLED CHEVROLET USA AND OPENED A FILE BASED ON MY INFORMATION. AT ONE POINT MY TRUCK COMPUTER WARNED TO PULL OVER AND NOT DRIVE ANY FURTHER DUE TO LOW OIL. UPON INSPECTION THERE WAS NO EXTERNAL REASON FOR THE FACT THAT THE OIL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE HAS REGULAR OIL CHANGES WITH MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC. AFTER CHECKING CHEVROLET 5.3 LITER ENGINE ISSUES I FOUND THAT A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS FILED REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE AS MINE. THE SUIT DID NOT GO ANYWHERE BUT THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE THE SAME THAT MY TRUCK IS EXPERIENCING. IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY ANY LONGER BUT HAD ONLY 71,453 MILES AT THE TIME OF ISSUE RECOGNITION. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE BASICALLY DISMISSED MY COMPLAINT SAYING THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO BECAUSE THERE'S NO RECALL OR GM BULLETIN. THE DEALER SOLUTION IS A PISTON AND RING REPLACEMENT FOR $ 6,999.95 WHICH IS BASICALLY AN ENGINE REBUILD (BUT NOT A COMPLETE ONE). IN ADDITION, THEY WILL INSTALL WHAT WAS REFERRED TO AS A BALLAST WHICH WOULD SOLVE THE CONSUMPTION ISSUE SUPPOSEDLY. IF THIS IS TRUE THEN I ASSUME THAT THERE IS AN INHERENT ISSUE. ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE IS TO CHECK YOUR OIL EVERY 1000 MILES AND IF YOU ARE LOW THEN ADD IT. NONE OF THIS MAKES SENSE WITH A VEHICLE THAT COST OVER $40,000 WITH 71,000 PLUS MILES. I AM REGISTERING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I AM FRUSTRATED AND DISAPPOINTED. THIS I AM SURE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH. THANK YOU.

IM NOT ABLE TO LET DOWN THE SPARE. THE SYSTEM DONT WORK PROPERLY ON MOST TRUCKS. THIS IS DANGEROUS WHEN ON THE INTERSTATE

TRANSMISSION HAS BAD SOLENOID IN TRANSMISSION. WHILE YRUCK WAS IN MOTION NO SIGNS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD ISSUES AND DROPPED TO LIMP MODE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. CHECK ENGINE CAME ON SHOOTING TROUBLE CODE PO796. FOUND THIS TO BE COMMON WITH MANY OTHER SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODELS, EVEN TOLD SO BY TRANSMISSION SHOP. WANTED TO REPORT THIS INCASE IT NEEDS TO BE ADDED TO POSSIBLE FUTURE RECALL

MY 2013 HAS DEVELOPED THE NOTORIOUS LIFTER TICK FROM A COLLAPSED LIFTER (THIS AFFECTS MANY 5.3L V8 ENGINES OF THIS ERA). THIS WILL LEAD TO EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING, AND CLOGGED EXHAUST SYSTEMS OVER TIME DUE TO THE OIL BURNING. THIS ALSO DAMAGES/DESTROYS THE CAM SHAFT OVER TIME AND REQUIRES FREQUENT SPARK PLUG CHANGES. I SUSPECT THIS PROBLEM STARTED AS EARLY AS 60,000 MILES (WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY) HOWEVER BECAUSE THE TRUCK WASN'T CONSUMING 1 QT / 1000 MILES GM REFUSED TO LOOK INTO THE ISSUE FURTHER. THIS IS A WELL-DOCUMENTED ISSUE ON THESE VEHICLES OVER TIME, THIS CAN LEAD TO STALLS OR BREAKDOWNS WHICH CAN BE A HAZARD. IT ALSO SERVERELY DIMINISHES THE RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AS THE REQUIRED REPAIRS ARE QUITE EXPENSIVE (ABOUT $2000 - $3500).

THE DASH CRACKED AROUND AIRBAG, COULD CAUSE PUNCTURE TO BAG WHEN DEPLOYED, CAUSING HARM. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. MILEAGE ON VEHICLE IS ONLY 36,000 MILES.

THE DRIVER DOOR HANDLE (BOTH THE INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR HANDLES) WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR WHEN STOPPED. THE REPAIR SHOP SHOWED ME A SMALL POT METAL ARM THAT BROKE INSIDE THE DOOR PANEL AND CAUSED THE PROBLEM. WHILE NOT AN ISSUE BY ITSELF, IF THE AUTO WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED THE DRIVER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE, DEPENDING ON THE FINAL RESTING POSITION. FURTHER ADDING TO THIS IS THAT THE ISSUE APPEARED FOR A DAY, THEN THE DOOR WORKED FINE FOR 2 MORE DAYS BEFORE BECOMING PERMANENTLY NON-FUNCTIONING.

I NOTICED EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST. CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER AND THEY TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR PROPER FIX. RUST WAS SUPPOSEDLY GROUND OFF AND FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE WERE UNDERCOATED. APPARENTLY THE FACTORY WAX COATING WAS NOT PROPERLY CLEANED BEFORE PAINT. I RECENTLY NOTICED THE RUST IS BACK ON THE FRAME AND FRONT STEERING PARTS. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 16,000 MILES, IS GARAGE KEPT AND HAS RARELY BEEN DRIVEN IN WINTER MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, HE NOTICED THE SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETED RUSTED. THE CONTACT CALLED LOCAL DEALER CMA'S COLONIAL CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 12420 JEFFERSON DAVIS HWY, CHESTER, VA 23831, (804) 748-6461, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE UNDERCARRIAGE SUBFRAME TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AS OF YET. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,300.

THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ABOVE THE AIRBAG.

TRUCK WAS HIT ON FRONT DRIVER SIDE BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRAME WAS BENT AND THE LEFT SIDE WAS ALSO DAMAGED. AIRBAGS WERE RELEASED. FRONT TIRES WERE DAMAGED. THIS OCCURRED ON JULY 9, 2020. INSURANCE AND REPAIR COMPANY ARE TRYING TO FIX IT WITH OTHER PARTS. I WAS IN MOTION ON A SIDE STREET AND A SPEEDING VEHICLE THAT I DID NOT SEE HIT ME.*DT*JB

ROLLED TRUCK, ONLY AIRBAG THAT WENT OFF WAS PASSENGER DOOR.

WHILE IN CALIFORNIA (FROM TEXAS) AND A/C STOPS BLOWING COLD OR WARN, JUST HOT AIR. TRIED ADDING SEALANT AND FREON THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. SINCE THEN JUST HOT AIR. DRIVING BACK FROM CA TO TX THRU THE CENTRAL VALLEY, AZ AND NM WAS NOT FUN WITH TEMPS > 90. I WAS CHECKING HERE TO SEE IF ANYONE HAS HAD SUCCESS ON GETTING GM TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT SEEMS RAMPANT WITH THIS MODEL SILVERADO/SIERRA. UPDATE FROM JUL 14, 2020 I WROTE TO GM AND RECEIVED ONE PHONE CALL WITH A NUMBER TO CALL. CALLED THE NUMBER OVER 10 TIMES, EVERY TIME I WAS DISCONNECTED WHILE GOING THROUGH THE MENU. RECEIVED A LETTER FROM CHEVROLET WITH THE SAME USELESS PHONE NUMBER. WROTE AGAIN HOPING TO GET EMAIL ADDRESS TO OPEN A DIALOG.

CRACK DASH THE TRUCK IS GARAGE SENSE I BROUGHT IT NEW IT HAS ONLY 21000 MILES IT NEVER BEEN OUTSIDE AS FAR JUST SETTING THE CRACK SEEMS TO BE GETTING BIGGER . THE TRUCK AS NEVER BEEN ANY ACCIDENTS .

CRACKED DASH ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE AND AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. DUE TO EITHER CHEAP MATERIAL OR DEFECT IN MATERIAL. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKS APPEARED ON BOTH SIDES. GARAGE TEMPERATURE WAS 76 DEGREES THE DAY CRACKS HAPPENED.

THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR STABILITY AND TRACTION HAVE COME ON. THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING BADLY AND PIECES ARE FALLING OFF. *TR

CRACKED DASH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE BRAKES. THE STABILI TRAK SYSTEM ON WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AS WELL AS ANOTHER UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AMIGO CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 1900 S 2ND ST, GALLUP, NM 87301, (505) 726-4329, WHERE THE BRAKE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF EXACTLY WHAT REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 88,000. *BF CONSUMER STATES THAT SOUND IS HEARD WHEN BRAKES ARE PRESSED. CONSUMER SAYS WHEN ENGINE IS STARTED SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND STAGILITRACK LIGHTS COME ON DASHBOARD. CONSUMER SAYS THAT THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE ROTATION OR ALIGNMENT AND AXLE BOOTS OR JOINTS FROM TIRE ROTATION. CONSUMER REPORTED ISSUE TO DEALER ON 06/02/20 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPAIRS. *DL

THE DASH AREA AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER IS CRACKED AND WOULD BE A FLYING DEBRIS HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. IN ADDITION CRACKS EXIST DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STEERING COLUMN THAT, WHEN THE SUN HITS IT, CREATES A GLARE THAT AFFECTS VISIBILITY. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY CONCERNS AND GM SAID THAT ITS NORMAL. HOW IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BECOME FLYING SHRAPNEL OR BLINDING THE DRIVER NOT A CONCERN OR NORMAL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THESE CRACKS APPEARED OVER A YEAR AGO BUT THEY'VE NOW GOTTEN WORSE AND THE GLARE HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE. *TR

THE DASHBOARD IN MY PICKUP HAS CRACKED FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER AND I AM AFRAID THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THAT THERE WILL BE AIRBORNE PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT WILL BECOME A HAZARD. *TR

THE DASH SURROUNDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS CRACKING IN THE UPPER CORNERS. ALSO IT'S CRACKING IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER SIDE. AN ACCIDENT COULD LEAD TO PIECES OF THE DASH BREAKING AND CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. *TR

DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 DIFFERENT SPOTS. *TR

AFM SYSTEM CAUSES CYLINDERS 1 AND 7 TO FOUL THE SPARK PLUGS ACTUALLY CAUSING THE PORCELAIN TO BREAK OFF IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THE AFM IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING FAILURE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. PREVIOUS FIXES DO NOT WORK. MODIFYING THE VALVE COVER TO CORRECT A DESIGN FLAW IS NOT A CURE FOR THE REAL PROBLEM, WHICH IS A DESIGN FLAW. #1 AND #7 FOUL OUT DUE TO THE COLLECTION OF CARBON DEPOSIT CAUSED FROM EXCESS OIL IN THESE CHAMBERS WHICH CAUSES THE MALFUNCTION ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE EVENTUAL CATALYTIC CONVERTOR FAILURE, POOR GAS MILEAGE AND POOR OVERALL PERFORMANCE, WITH EVENTUAL ENGINE FAILURE. LACK OF ACCELERATION, SLOW PERFORMANCE. FIRST NOTICED AT AROUND 30 TO 50,000 MILES AND PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE. IDLE IS POOR DUE TO FOULED AND BROKEN PLUGS IN THESE TWO CYLINDERS AND THE ECU ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THE ERROR THE BALANCE OF ENGINE IS THROWN INTO A UNBALANCED CONDITION CAUSING THE BUILDUP OF CARBON DEPOSITS IN THE ENGINE AND CAUSING THE SENSORS TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS UNIVERSAL AND NOT SPECIFIC TO A FEW SELECT VEHICLES BUT TO THOSE WITH THE AFM SYSTEM AND WAS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM SEVERE ENOUGH FOR GM TO CHANGE TO THE NEWLY DEVELOPED DFM SYSTEM WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO ACTUALLY ADDRESS THE FLAWED AFM PROBLEM.

CRACKED DASH. LIFTER FROM 8 TO 4 CYLINDER BREAK DOWN. 4000 FIX

I HAVE 2 LARGE CRACKS ON MY DASH PANEL. ONE IS NEAR THE DASH MOUNTED AIR BAG, AND THE SECOND IS RUNNING ABOVE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THESE CRACKS DEVELOPED OVER TIME. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. CHEVROLET REFUSED TO COVER THE ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY, EVEN AFTER I SHOWED THEM HOW WIDE SPREAD THIS ISSUE IS AMONG CHEVROLET VEHICLES.

THE DASH BOARD HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND THE AC CONTROL BUTTONS HAVE WORN OFF.

PAINT HAS PEELED OFF ABOVE THE WINDSHIELD, PAINT LOOKS VERY THIN AND BRITTLE. DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM WORRIED THAT IF THE AIRBAG EVERY WENT OFF THE PIECE OF PLASTIC WILL BE SHOT OFF AND BE A PIECE OF SHRAPNEL IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES INCLUDING AROUND THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THE CRACKING HAPPENED SPONTANEOUSLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE.

LIGHT BULB GOES ONUT, IN FRONT HEADLIGHTS AFTER REPLACING IT. REPLACE IT 3 TIMES AND IT CONTINUES TO GO OUT.

VEHICLE DASH CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. TOOK VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP ADVISED NOT UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR RECALLS. WORRIED IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION PIECES MAY BECOME FLYING OBJECTS IN THE EVENT OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

DASH CRACKED APPROXIMATELY 3'. VERY LOW MILES, VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED.

THE DASH ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL CRACKED ON 12/4/2019, NOW MAKING A RATTLING NOISE. THE CRACK NOW IS GOING TO EXPAND DUE TO VIBRATION AND IT COULD EFFECT THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DOWN THE LINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG AND SERVICE AIR BAG INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 85,000.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED ON 2 CORNERS NEAR THE AIR BAG

MY DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE STEERING COLUMN.

THE DASH IN MY 2013 SILVERADO IS CRACKING, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IF I WAS TO BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH DEPLOYED AIRBAGS.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING LEADING TO RISK OF FLYING PLASTIC SHARDS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED. THIS IS A DESIGN DEFECT ON CHEVY TRUCKS OF THIS MODEL YEAR AND SIMILAR DESIGN MODEL YEARS.

THE VEHICLE'S FRAME IS RUSTING OUT AND BREAKING AT THE REAR END OF THE TRUCK.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES, POTENTIALLY REPRESENTING A SAFETY THREAT IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG DEPLOYS.

I HAVE A CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. ONE OF WHICH IS BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHICH IF WAS INFLATED WOULD SEND PLASTIC DASHBOARD PIECES INTO THE PASSENGER FACE, DUE TO THE BRITTLENESS OF THE PLASTIC THAT CRACKS WHEN TOUCHED. THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE DASH, WHICH IS BRITTLE TO THE TOUCH. GM REFUSES TO FIX FOR FREE, EVEN KNOWING THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FAULTY PLASTIC DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO GET WORSE, AS GM HAS INSTALLED THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS IN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES.

FINDING HIGH LEVEL OF SURFACE RUST ON SILVERADO FRAME

I HAVE FOUND CRACKS IN THE DASH DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO THE SUPPORT BRACES FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, IN CASE OF DEPLOYMENT THE SHARDS OF BROKEN PLASTIC CAN IMPALE INTO AN INDIVIDUAL CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH

TAKATA RECALL THIS VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY SHOWN AIRBAG REQUIRES SERVICING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE WARNING HAS BEEN LOOKED AT REPEATEDLY AND I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. HOWEVER THE WARNING PERSISTS. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL BUT THAT LETTER WAS MISPLACED WHILE ASKING ABOUT THE CONSTANT WARNING. THE TAKATA SITE SAYS THE 2007-2013 CHEVY SILVERADO IS BEING RECALLED FOR THE EXPLOSIVE BAG. I AM VERY AFRAID OF AN AIRBAG PROBLEM BUT THIS WARNING STILL PERSISTS. DO I HAVE TO HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH THE AIRBAG TO PROVE MY POINT?

PAINT PEELING OFF VEHICLE.

CRACK IN DASH FROM AIRBAG TO DEFROST VENT

THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE GAUGE CLUSTER IS CRACKING.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIRBAG CUTOUT IS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED THERE WILL BE PICTURES OF DASH BOARD SHARDS FIYING THROUGH THE AIR AND POSSIBLY INTO THE OCCUPANTS WITH FORCE FROM THE AIRBAG.

PAINT IS CHIPPING AND PEELING ALONG UPPER WINDSHIELD. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ROCKS OR HAIL OR ANY OTHER REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. A FLAKE CAME OFF ONE DAY AND AS TIME WENT BY I BEGAN TO NOTICE MORE AREAS. UPON A GOOGLE SEARCH OF CHEVY FORUMS I FIND THAT THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE, RIGHT DOWN TO THE SPECIFIC YEAR/MAKE/MODEL AND AREA OF DAMAGE.

TWICE I HAVE ENCOUNTERED UN-COMMANDED RAPID ACCELERATION WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE ACCELERATION BACK UNDER CONTROL BY PRESSING AND HOLDING THE BRAKES. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE SAME LOCATION, I'M GUESSING IT IS SOME SORT OF RADIO SIGNAL INTERFERENCE.

CLUTCHES IN TRANSMISSION WHERE WHEN TRUCK IN DRIVE THE TRUCK WILL NOT GO TO 40 OR ABOVE. THE TRUCK WAS MOVING ON CITY STREET HEAD TOWARD 95 NORTH. AS A RESULT OF PROBLEM I HAD TO USE AAA TO GET BACK TO BALTIMORE FROM FREDERICKBURG VA THIS IS THE SECOND TIMES SINCE THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN MY NAME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAPPEN.

DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IN THE BEND FROM FLAT TO UPRISING. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

SAFETY BELTS ARE NOT LOCKING WHEN BREAKS ARE APPLY ON A STOP LIGHT, OR DURING A SUDDEN STOP. ALL FOUR SAFETY BELTS ARE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. BEING THIS A SAFETY ISSUE, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THERE IS A RECALL TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

RIGHT REAR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CAME LOOSE, RARELY USE BACK DOORS WENT TO OPEN ONE DAY AND IT WAS LOOSE. THEN THE DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE BROKE A FEW MONTHS LATER.

MY DASH CRACKED STRAIGHT LINE ABOVE AND ATTACHED TO AIRBAG, WASN'T THERE, NEXT DAY IT WAS,NOV 2016 38,000 MI. CALLED DEALERSHIP(S) AND I CALLED GM/CHEV SUPPORT AND THEY SAID SINCE IT WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALL I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT...I EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS AS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND OBVIOUS DEFECT.

CRACKED DASHBOARD AROUND AIR BAG.

TWO CRACKS APPEARED ON DASHBOARD NEAR AIR BAG.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE DASHBOARD CRACKED ON TOP BY AIR BAG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED FOR THE SECOND TIME.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CALLED AND STATED THAT THE REPAIRS WOULD BE THE CONTACT'S RESPONSIBILITY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19,787.

DASH AND AIRBAG SUPPORT SYSTEM CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS. POSING A SAFETY RISK

THE WIPES STARRED WHILE DRIVING GOING SLOW AND WOULD JUST STOP. WHICH AFTER TALKING TO CAR SPECIALIST WAS TOLD IT WAS TGE MOTOR HAD HONE BAD. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 90K ON IT SHOULD THIS HAPPEN SO SOON? THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO SUDDENLY HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING OR INDICATION THE MOTOR WAS GOING BAD. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON HIGHWAY AND IN CITY A 30 TO 40 MINUTES AWAY FROM HOME.

PAINT HAS CONTINUED TO CHIP OFF THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE IN LARGE SECTIONS. THE BODY SHOPS HAVE COMMENTED THAT THEY HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS ISSUES INVOLVING CHEVROLET PAINT. CHEVROLET KNOWS THE PRIMER UNDER THE PAINT IS DEFECTIVE. CHEVROLET HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE.

CRACK DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I OWN THIS TRUCK FROM DAY 1 AND ALWAYS HAD TINTED WINDOW AND USE WINDSHIELD SUN SHADE.

I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY DASH, I PUT A BLANKET OVER IT AND A SUN VISOR TO PROTECT IT FROM THE SUN. YET, IT STILL MANAGED TO GET A CRACK. I BELIEVE IT MIGHT BE DUE TO GM USING CHEAP MATERIAL OR OVER TIGHTENING THE DASH. THIS HAD TO HAPPEN ON A VERY HOT DAY WHEN MY TRUCK WAS PARKED.

MY 2013 CHEVY SILVERADO HAS AN AIR CONDITIONING PROBLEM. SO DID MY OLD TRUCK, A 2010, WHICH I TEASED IN FOR THE 2013. I HAVE RAN ACROSS MANY, MANY COMPLAINTS IF THIS ON THE CHEVY'S ON GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE. I ONLY HAVE 21,000 MILES ON THIS 2013. GM SHOULD REPLACE THE PART(S) TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. I HAVE NO PROBLEM TRADING IT IN FOR ANOTHER MAKE OF A DIFFERENT TRUCK. I LOVE WHERE THE HIGHS CAN BE 100 DEGREES EASILY, NOT GOOD IF THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS! THE AC BLOWS WARM. I'M NOT PAYING $1000.00 FOR THE FIX THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE BY GM IN THE FIRST PLACE!! I BOUGHT THIS USED VEHICLE IN NOV 2017.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS OFF AND ON,TRACTION AND STABILITY GOES OFF THEN BACK ON ,ENGINE RUNS AND IDLES ROUGH AND SOMETIMES SHIFTS HARD.THIS HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING AND SITTING STILL (FOR THE LIGHTS AND ROUGH IDLE) NOT THE HARD SHIFTING. WHILE SEARCHING ON INTERNET ,FOUND IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 5.3L CHEVY/GMC ENGINE.

DASH BOARD CRACKED UPPER LEFT CORNER OVER AIRBAG

ENGINE USES 3 QUARTS OIL BETWEEN REQUIRED OIL CHANGES. #2 PROBLEM 4WD SWITCH IF I USE AUTO 4WD . 4WD DOES NOT ENGAGE AND WONT SWITCH OUT OF AUTO .I WAS TOLD AT DEALER SHIP JUST DON'T USE AUTO 4WD IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PROBLEM

DASHBOARD CRACK ON THE LEFT-HAND SIDE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG. AND DASHBOARD RATTLES ON DRIVER-SIDE. VERY CONCERNED IF IN AN ACCIDENT THE DASHBOARD WILL SEND PROJECTILES BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE TO AIRBAG.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE DASH IS CRACKED ON THE WINDSHIELD SIDE AROUND THE AIR BAG AND MAY CAUSE THE AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. ALSO HAS TWO CRACKS ON BOTH SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WIITCH LEAVING IT MORE REASON TO DEPLOY.

WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS, USUALLY DURING A PARKING LOT MANEUVER TYPE CONDITION... MY TRUCK'S ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SEEMS TO SHUT DOWN SEVERAL TIMES FOR LIKE A SECOND OR TWO AT A TIME. BUT IT HAPPENS RAPIDLY. LLKE 4 TO 5 TIMES WITHIN 10 SECONDS. DUE TO THE ELECTRONIC STEERING NOT OPERATING WHEN IT DOES THIS, IT WILL BOUNCE THE STEERING SPORADICALLY WHEN IT CUTS ON/OFF AND KIND OF SCARE YOU. AT THE SAME TIME THE SAD LIGHTS FLICKER AND THE DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK RAPIDLY. EVEN AS A VETERAN DRIVER, IT ALL HAPPENS SO FAST THAT YOU CANNOT REGAIN CONTROL EASILY. WHEN I STOP, TURN THE TRUCK OFF THEN RESTART IT, IT'S BEEN OK. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED 3 TIMES. BUT IT CLEARLY SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE IGNITION SYSTEM SHUTTING ON/OFF REALLY FAST.

CRACKED DASHBOARD NEAR AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG AND WIRES WERE NOT EXPOSED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

AFTER TAKING A 780 MILE ROUND TRIP TO MISSOURI FROM TEXAS, WHEN FILLING UP I NOTICED THAT THE PAINT HAD PEELED OFF IN LARGE CHUNKS AT THE HOOD AND ROOF. HAS SEVERAL SMALL AREAS THAT THE PAINT IS CHIPPING. IT LOOKS AS IF THE PAINT WILL NOT ADHERE TO THE BODY ANYMORE.

TAKATA RECALL.MY PROBLEM IS I GET A WARNING ON THE DASH. SAYS CHECK AIRBAG. IS THAT BAD

DEALERSHIP DOES NOT HAVE NEW AIR BAGS TO REPLACE DUE TO TAKATA HAS NOT COME UP WITH A RESOLUTION.

GOT IN MY TRUCK ONE MORNING AND NOTICED TWO LARGE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. VEHICLE HAD BEEN STATIONARY AND IN THE GARAGE THE NIGHT PRIOR. ONE RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE, RUNNING ALL THE WAY TO THE WINDSHIELD. THE OTHER IS ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT COULD SEND PLASTIC SHARDS FLYING, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY.

UPON WIPING MY DASHBOARD WITH A DRY CLOTH(NEVER USED ANY PRODUCTS TO CLEAN, OR TREAT THE DASHBOARD AREA) AND I DO NOT PARK VECHILE IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT .... I NOTICED 4 TO 5 CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AREA OF BOTH DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGERS SIDE...MOST CONCERNING... THAT 2 OF THE CRACKS ARE AROUND THE PASSANGER AIR BAG LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD...THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER OF GM AND A CHEVY SILVERADO WHO PURCHASED A VECHILE THATS PRICED ABOVE $45,000. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN VERY SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE LOCATION OF THESE CRACKS AND SHOULD BE A RECALL BY GM CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES.....

WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WE HEARD A POPPING NOISE FROM FRONT OF CABIN . THEN SAW TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER ON DRIVER SIDE AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

2013 CHEVROLET 1500 SILVERADO DASH CRACKED ABOVE PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD CAUSE FLYING SHARP PLASTIC PIECES IF DEPLOYED

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BIG CITY AUTO (4910 LIMA RD, FORT WAYNE, IN 46808). THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO GO TO SUMMIT CITY CHEVROLET (5200 ILLINOIS RD, FORT WAYNE, IN 46804).

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 133,000.

THE DASH BOARD CRACKED RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON TH PASSENGER SIDE IN THE DRIVEWAY PARK OUTSIDE THE HOUSE

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALL ARROUND AIRBAG, IF AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WOULD SPRAY PLASTIC PARTS ALL OVER VEHICLE, IT IS A PART DEFECT AND CHEVROLET KNOWS THIS, THEY WILL DO NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS , THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE ON FACEBOOK SHOWING 1000S OF PICTURES , PLEASE HELP, THIS VEHICLE IS NOT THAT OLD AND THE CRACKS STARTED TO APPEAR AT JUST 37,000 MILES,ALSO IF YOU DECIDE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND PAY FOR IT YOURSELF , THEY WILL NOT GUARANTEE THE NEW FACTORY DASH WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN, THIS JUST PROVES THAT THEY KNOW IT IS MADE DEFECTIVE, HOPEFULLY SOMETHING WILL BE DONE ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SPRAYED WITH FLYING DEFECTIVE PARTS ARROUND THE AIRBAG

CRACKED DASH BOARD

I WAS DRIVING & HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS TILL I WAS CLEANING/VACUUMING MY VEHICLE THE NEXT DAY. I WAS CLEANING THE VEHICLE & THE DASHBOARD WAS VERY DIRTY SO I WAS LIGHTLY CLEANING IT WITH A RAG & THE RAG GOT STUCK SO WHEN I CHECKED WHAT IT WAS I NOTICED A VERY BIG CRACK. IT ALSO CRACKED BY THE AIRBAG & I HONESTLY FEEL LIKE THAT IS A HAZARD. IT BOTHERS ME TO THINK I'M PAYING OVER $40K FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CHOSE TO DEFEND MY FAMILY & MIGHT MALFUNCTION IF I'M EVER IN AN ACCIDENT.

RADIO VOLUME AND TURN SIGNAL SOUND STOPPED EVEN RADIO ON. WHEN TURNED COMPLETELY OFF, PHONE SYMBOL STARTED FLASHING ON RADIO SCREEN AND STAYED ON. SECURITY ALERTS FOR SEAT BELT, DOOR OPEN AND KEY IN IGNITION ALSO NOT WORKING. HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN FIRST STARTED AND PROBLEM AS CONTINUED WHILE DRIVING. WHEN TURNED OFF THE RADIO DISPLAY WILL NOT GO OFF EVEN THOUGH TURNED OFF. DEALERSHIP HAS NO CLUE WHAT'S WRONG. SAW ONLINE WHERE 2014 SILVERADO RECALLED FOR BASE RADIO PROBLEMS THAT ARE SIMILAR TO THIS PROBLEM (14V301000).

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 SPOTS. MY TRUCK IS ALWAYS PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE AND IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT ALSO HAS A RATTLE IN THE DASH.

DASHBOARD HAS STARTED CRACKING AROUND MY PASSENGER AIRBAG, LEAVING SHARP EDGES THAT I FEEL MAY DAMAGE THE AIRBAG UPON DEPLOYMENT.

BACKUP LIGHTS WERE STUCK ON. HAD TRUCK RUNNING AND PUT TRUCK IN REVERSE. THE FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE HOOD STARTING BURNING. THE TRUCK KEPT RUNNING EVEN AFTER TURNING OFF THE SWITCH AND REMOVING THE KEY. HAD TO ACTUALLY PULL THE FUSE BLOCK OUT OF THE TRUCK TO GET IT TO TURN OFF AND STOP IT FROM BURNING. SITTING AT LOCAL DEALERSHIP NOW WAITING TO HEAR FROM THEM. SHOULD HAVE TAKEN PICTURES.

WIPERS RUN VERY SLOWLY AND SOMETIMES STOP. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN IT'S RAINING AND HAS CAUSED ME TO STOP DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWO OTHER TIMES. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. I'VE READ THIS MAY MAKE THE WIPER MOTOR WORK HARDER WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE.

MY DASH HAS CRACK IN IT ,ON TOP OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG( THAT SHOULD AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE! THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE!!!

PAINT IS PEELING ON ROOF. HAS BEEN FOR WELL OVER A YEAR. GM DEALER SAID IT WAS FROM A STONE BRUISE, AND I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY PERIOD. PEELING ABOVE WINDSHIELD IS FROM DRIVERS SIDE ALL THE WAY TO PASSENGER'S SIDE. HOOD IS NOW STARTING TO PEEL.

HUGE CRACK ON THE DASH POSSIBLY AFFECTING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. CRACK WAS THERE WHEN I GOT IN THE TRUCK IN THE MORNING.

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG IS CRACKED. UNKNOWN WHEN IT CRACKED.

CRACKED DASH. COMMON ISSUE WITH 2007-2013 FROM A QUICK SEARCH ONLINE. CRACKED RIGHT AT AIR BAG SO WORRIED IF AIR BAG WERE TO COME OUT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD DEFLATE AIR BAG OR HURT PASSENGERS.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM CREWS CHEVROET IN NORTH CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 12000 MILES. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON I DISCOVERED A CRACK IN THE DASH NEAR THE PASSANGER AIR BAG. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CREWS CHEVROLET AND THE SERVICE PERSON STATED IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE SUN. I PURCHASED GM'S MAJOR GUARD EXTENDED PROTECTION AND EVENTHOUGH THE DASH IS NOT LISTED UNDER ITEMS NOT COVERED I WAS TOLD THE DASH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AGAIN ON 27 MAY 2017. THIS IS DEFINATELY A PRODUCT DEFECT OR MATERIAL DEFECT. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ALL THE OTHER CRACKED DASH ISSUES WITH GM/CHEVROLET. AT WHAT POINT IS GM/CHEVROLET GOING TO ADMIT THIS IS A DEFECT AND CUSTOMERS WILL SEE A RECALL? THIS CRACK RUNS RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSANGER AIRBAG AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE LOCATION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000. UPDATED 07/11/17*LJ *AS

PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BETWEEN THE AIRBAG COVER AND THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD TOP PANEL. IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM OTHERS HAVE NOTICED ON THESE MODELS AS WELL. MY CONCERN IS THE PROXIMITY TO THE AIRBAG. OTHER OWNERS HAVE POSTED PHOTOS OF LARGER CRACKS AND HOLES IN THE DASHBOARD IN THIS LOCATION. I DON'T WANT IT TO CAUSE AN ISSUE WITH AIRBAG FUNCTIONALITY WERE THERE TO BE AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENT. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS HAD BEEN CRACKED BUT IT WAS FIRST NOTICED BY MY WIFE ON 5/13/2017.

THE DASH ON MY 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HAS CRACKED JUST ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. TO ME THIS POSES A SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THERE BE A COLLISION CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY WHERE THE CRACK MAY PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, BEING PARKED JUST IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHEN THE CRACK OCCURRED.

CRACKED DASHBOARD WITH ONLY 50K MILES ON THE TRUCK.

THE DASH CRACKED AND GETTING WORSE ON THIS 40,000.00 TRUCK.THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT FROM MY INTERNET SEARCH.IT ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES,THE SUN CRACKED IT AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD BE EFFECTED LATER.REDICULOUS,NEVER HAD A NEWER MODEL CRACK LIKE THIS,VERY CHEAP!THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY I THINK WHEN WIFE SPOTTED IT.THEY SHOULD FIX THIS MESS.

THE DASH CRACKED ON MY 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 ON THE CORNER THAT SURROUNDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED STATIONARY OVER NIGHT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE SHARP CRACK IN IT ABOUT 9 INCHES LONG. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. IT JUST APPEARED ONE DAY.

CRACKING DASHBOARD BY AIR BAG

DASH CRACKED FROM CORNER OF PASSENGER AIR BAG TO CORNER OF DEFROST VENT. CONCERNED IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS DASH FRAGMENTS MAY CAUSE BODILY HARM. NOT SURE IF CRACKED FORMED DURING MOTION OR SITTING STATIONARY.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD .ONE CRACK IS DIRECTLY OVER MY INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE SECOND IS ON PASSENGER SIDE OFF THE LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG. THIS 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LTZ C1500 HAS ONLY 47,414 MILES ON IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT BY MANUFACTURER. I BABY THIS TRUCK AND KEEP IT COVERED UNDER MY CARPORT AT MY HOME. I DRIVE A COMPANY TRUCK ON WEEK DAYS AND MY TRUCK ON WEEKENDS. THESE TWO CRACKS HAPPENED WHILE TRUCK WAS SITTING STATIONARY UNDER MY CARPORT. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ,AND WILL MANUFACTURER REPLACE AT NO COST TO ME.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL. I HAVE USED THE SYNTHETIC OIL THAT IS SPECIFIED AND CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 5000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE BUT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I HAD TO SPEND ANOTHER $2,000 FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE FUTURE FIXES THEY DESCRIBED. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS IDENTIFIED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD OF THE ISSUE UNTIL I COMPLAINED TO A CHEVY DEALER. THEY KNOW IT EXISTS YET THEY TRY TO FIX IT WITH A BAND-AIDE TYPE SOLUTION. IN THE END I HAD TO SPEND $2,000 TO COVER A PROBLEM THEY KNEW EXISTED YET DID NOT LET ME KNOW SO I COULD BRING IT IN BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW I AM TOLD I HAVE TO ENDURE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REQUIRING ME TO DRIVE 45 MINUTES TO THE DEALER, WAIT FOR MY TEST AND RETURN AGAIN. THEN THEY EXPERIMENT WITH THREE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MIGHT FIX IT BEFORE THEY REPLACE THE ENGINE COSTING ME TIME, MONEY AND INCONVENIENCE. AS I TYPE THIS I HAVE TO ENDURE THE CHEVY TRUCK COMMERCIAL THAT SAYS THEY ARE THE BEST BUILT, LONGEST LASTING TRUCK. I AM DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM LONG AGO.

I WENT TO OPEN MY DRIVERS SIDE DOOR INSIDE AND THE HANDLE SNAPPED OFF IN MY HAND ,I CALLED MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER MY WARRANTY, I TOOK MY TRUCK TO A BODY SHOP WHERE THE OWNER TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PURCHASE THE WHOLE INTERIOR DOOR PANEL OF A LIST PRICE OF 430 DOLLARS , HE CALLED A GM DEALER TO ORDER THE PANEL, AND WE WERE BOTH TOLD THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK IT IS A DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING , AND HE TOLD ME TO CONTACT GM AND THEY WOULD HELP ME OUT WITH THIS ISSUE , I DID E-MAIL CHEVROLET , AND ON 12-31-2016, RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A VERY NICE WOMAN WHO TOLD ME I AM COVERED UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT I PURCHASE FOR THIS REPAIR , AND THAT I WOULD BE HEARING BACK FROM THEM ON 1-3-2016, WELL I SURE DID HEAR BACK ONLY INSTEAD OF A REPUTABLE HONEST AND CARING COMPANY , THAT ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THE CUSTOMER AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE CUSTOMER ACTUALLY WANT TO PURCHASE MORE GM PRODUCTS, I GOT THE GOON SQUAD , HIRED THUGS, WHO JOB IT IS TO TRY AND DENY ALL LEGITIMATE CLAIMS , IS IT GM POLICY TO TELL A CUSTOMER THEY ARE COVERED , AND THEN ONLY TO HAVE SOME IDIOT TO TRY AND TAKE THAT AWAY ??? , THIS GENIUS TRIES TO TELL ME BECAUSE A NON GM SHOP MADE THE REPAIR , THEY WILL NOT COVER THE WARRANTY, WELL GENIUS !!! HOW CAN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHEN THEY SAID NO!!!, AND I AM A REASONABLE MAN , WHO WOULD LIKE TO KEEP PURCHASING GM PRODUCTS , WELL SIRS GIVE ME A REASON THAT I WOULD WANT TO, AND I AM NOT ASKING FOR THE COST OF THE LABOR, I AM ASKING FOR THE COST OF A DEFECTED DOOR HANDLE PANEL, THAT I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT ON LINE , PLEASE GOOGLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS TRUCK, I AM WAITIN TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU , THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME , AND I AM HOPING YOU WILL DO THE RIGHT THING ? *TR

DASH BOARD STARTED CRACKING AROUND FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. 26,400 MILES PURCHASED AUGUST 2013

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE IMPACT SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000. ...UPDATED 05/11/17 *BF *CN

DATE COMPLAINT FILED: 06/21/2016DATE OF INCIDENT: 05/07/2015COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS , UNKNOWN OR OTHERNHTSA ID NUMBER: 10875605CONSUMER LOCATION: SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY ALL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPLAINT EXPAND DETAILS CLOSE HELP 0 AVAILABLE DOCUMENTS CRASH:NO FIRE:NO NUMBER OF INJURIES:0 NUMBER OF DEATHS:0 MANUFACTURER: GENERAL MOTORS LLC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): 1GNSKBE03DR... SUMMARY: THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DECREASING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASH AND INCREASING THE RISK OF PLASTIC SHARDS BEING EJECTED AT THE PASSENGER DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECT AFFECTING MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS THAT SHARE THE SAME DASHBOARD DESIGN. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFUSES TO VOLUNTARILY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

BOUGHT TRUCK USED WITH 22000 MILES ON IT AND WENT TO CHECK SPARE TIRE AREA AND FOUND THE FRAME HAD A LOT OF RUST WHERE THE UNDERCOAT HAD PEALED OFF. WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST THEM ABOUT $1000 TO REPAIR AND WOULD COST ME $350 DUE TO THE WARRANTY WAS PAST THE 3 YEARS.

SEVERE FRAME RUST

WHILE DRIVING ON A COOL MORNING (55 F) THE DRIVER SIDE DEFOGGED, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD DEFOG. I TURNED THE TEMP WARMER AND THE AIRFLOW UP, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STILL VERY SLOW TO DEFOG. THERE WAS VERY LOW AIRFLOW COMING FROM THE VENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER THE TEMP/AIRFLOW WAS ADJUSTED TO A REASONABLE SETTING, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUDDENLY FOGGED UP AGAIN, IMMEDIATELY IMPEDING VISIBILITY OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSENGER WINDOW, ALSO BLOCKING VISIBILITY OF THE PASSENGER MIRROR. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THE CAUSE WAS AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED SEAL ADJACENT TO THE HEATER CORE, BUT NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, AS SUDDEN FOGGING AND LOSS OF VISIBILITY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD LIKELY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. CHEVROLET SERVICE ORIGINALLY SUSPECTED IT WAS THE AIR BAG MODULE AND WANTED TO REPLACE IT CHARGING $800.00. THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. SINCE WE HAVE REPLACED THE AIR BAG MODULE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN TO HAVE IT PROGRAMMED AND SERVICE STATED THAT THE NEW MODULE WOULD NOT ACCEPT PROGRAMMING AND THEY ARE STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. LIGHT IS STILL ON, NO AIRBAGS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS WRONG AND JUST WANT THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT.

INTERIOR DASH HAS 2 CRACKS BY AIRBAG AND 1 LARGE CRACK IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL.

DASH CRACKED ABOVE TOP LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAF SPRING FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED; HOWEVER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

CRACKED DASH, THROUGH AND THROUGH, RESULTING IN A SHARP EDGE. THIS WAS A SPONTANEOUS CRACK. THERE WAS NO FORCE OR TRAUMA. IT JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED.

DASH BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM AFRAID THAT THE DASH PIECES CAN BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED IN SEVERAL POSITIONS, INCLUDING OVER THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT FUNCTION AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COVER. IT APPEARS THAT IF THE AIR BAG WERE TO DEPLOY THE DASH COULD FRACTURE FURTHER AND CAUSE BODILY HARM.

THE DASH HAS A CRACK ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG

THE DASH DEVELOPED A CRACK AT THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, WHICH WAS IDENTICAL TO THE ONE THAT OCCURRED IN OUR 2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED. MILES ARE AT 32,000, BUT THE FACTORY WARRANTY RAN OUT AT THE END OF MAY AND CHEVY REFUSES TO COVER THE REPAIR AT 100%.

CRACKS IN DASHBOARD , EXPOSE AIRBAG , RECALL NEEDED , PLEASE HELP US AND MAKE A COMPLIANT.

HAS 28K MILES ON IT AND THE PAINT HAS RUNS AND CLEAR COAT PEELED. DASH IS ALSO CRACKED GIVING SERIOUS CONCERNS TO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSING FLYING DEPRIS. DEALER BASICALLY SAID YOUR SOL

ON 7/14 AM I HAD THE CHEVROLET DEALER PUT 2 NEW TIRES AND HAD AN ALIGNMENT DONE. WE LEFT ON TRIP LATER THAT DAY AND IN A HEAVY RAIN STORN NEAR JACKSONVILLE, AR, WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE TRUCK SPUN OUT OF CONTROL ON HWY 167S DUE TO SEVERE HYDROPLANING. THE NEXT DAY I LOOKED AT THE TIRES AND THEY WERE NOT THE SAME TIRES AS ON THE REAR OR AS SPECIFIED BY GM. THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN P245 AND THEY WERE MS245. I RECALL WHEN I FIRST LOOKED AT THE TRUCK WHEN WE PICKED UP AT THE CHEVROLET GARAGE THAT THEY DID NOT LOOK "NEW". THEY WERE DUSTY AND DIRTY AND DID NOT HAVE THE "NEW TIRE STIPLING" THAT I HAVE SEEN ON OTHER NEW TIRES THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. I LATER FOUND OUT BY GOODYEAR THAT THE TIRES SHOULD HAVE BEEN PUT ON THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE DONE A LOT OF DRIVING IN SNOW AND RAIN AND WHEN I NOTICE HYDROPLANING, I SLOW DOWN. BUT IN THIS ACCIDENT THERE WAS NO WARNING. WHEN I FIRST CALLED THE CHECROLET DEALER THEY SAID THAT 245 EURO TIRES WERE PUT ON MY TRUCK AND THEY WERE BETTER THAN THE P245 TIRES AND TO CONTACT THERE LAWYER. I THINK THE TIRES THEY PUT ON THAT THEY SOLD AS NEW, WERE TAKEN OFF OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND PUT ON MY TRUCK . I ASKED THEM IF THEY WOULD SHOW ME THE ORDER, BILL OF LADING, AND PACKING SLIP ANE AGAIN THEY REFERRED ME TO THEIR LAWYER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGHWAY RATE OF SPEED, THE WINDOW WIPER MOTOR FAILED AND CAUSED THE WIPERS NOT TO WORK. THE CONTACT HAD TO QUICKLY ADJUST THE WIPERS IN INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE TAKEN TO A MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO REMEDY. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND FRAME WERE SEVERELY RUSTED. THE BOLTS AND NUTS IN THE FRAME WERE ALSO CORRODED AND COULD NOT BE REMOVED. ADDITIONALLY, ALL OF THE UNDERCOATING FRACTURED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE ABNORMAL AND EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF CORROSION TO THE FRAME AND UNDERCARRIAGE AREAS WERE CONFIRMED. THE DEALER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WOULD REMOVE ALL OF THE RUST AND CORROSION AND APPLY A NEW UNDERCOATING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500.

DASHBOARD STARTING TO CRACK ON PASSENGER SIDE. 3 YEARS 7 DAYS...

CRACKED DASH. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES AND ALREADY HAS A CRACK

DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAS CAUSED SAFETY CONCERNS SUCH AS THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYING OR PIECES OF THE DASH COMING OUT AND INJURING SOMEONE IF IT WAS TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT ABOUT 5 MONTHS.

I HAVE NOW HAD MY CHEVY 2013 SILVERADO IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND IT HAS FAILED THEM. WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS. WHEN IT FINALLY FAILED THEY ARE NOW SAYING THE ARE ONLY REPLACING THE HEAD GASKET AND THE ROCKER ARMS. NEITHER ONE OF THESE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY TRUCK BURNING OIL. THIS IS THE SECOND VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS HAS ISSUES BURNING OIL THE FIRST ONE THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR IT TO BURN OIL. THEY NEED TO DO WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY TOLD ME AND REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS ENGINE GOES WHILE I AM GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY

WAX COATING IS COMING OFF OF FRAME RUST SHOWING.

I BOUGHT THIS USED 2013 TRUCK IN LATE NOV 2015. WHEN MAKING (USUALLY) A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP LIKE ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM AN INCLINED ACCESS DRIVEWAY, OCCASIONALLY (MAYBE 3 TIMES PER MONTH) THERE IS A SUDDEN AND TOTAL FAILURE OF POWER ASSIST IN STEERING, MAKING THE TURN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND UNABLE TO KEEP FROM DRIFTING OUT OF THE INTENDED LANE OF TRAVEL. COLLISIONS WERE AVOIDED SEVERAL TIMES BY (THANKFULLY) ONCOMING TRAFFIC VEERING OUT OF THE WAY. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL PARTICULARLY AT THIS UNEXPECTED TIME WHILE ACCELERATING TO NEGOTIATE A TRAFFIC ENTRY IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS ONE-TON TRUCK IS NOT LIKE A SUBCOMPACT THAT IS EASY TO TURN 90 DEGREES WITHOUT POWER STEERING, BELIEVE ME. IF MY WIFE WERE DRIVING, THE TRUCK WOULD SURELY GO COMPLETELY ACROSS ALL LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN, THE POWER STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL, HOWEVER THE POWER ASSIST STEERING ON THIS 2013 TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAR LESS EFFECTIVE THAN MY PREVIOUS IDENTICAL MODEL, BUT 8 YEARS OLDER CHEVY DIESEL ONE-TON TRUCK.

CHROME COVER OF 20" WHEEL CAME OFF AND ENTIRE WHEEL WAS REPLACED ON 1/28/2016. IT CAME OFF AGAIN ON FEB . 16., 2016 WHILE DRIVING.

2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO REAR SLIDING ELECTRIC WINDOW STUCK OPEN. THE MOTOR CAN BE HEARD WORKING, BUT THE WINDOW DOES NOT MOVE. RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN YEARS 2014, 2015, 2016, BUT NOT 2013?

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. SHOULD IT DEPLOY THERE WILL BE A PIECE AS LONG AS A BIG KNIFE THAT WILL BECOME A PROJECTILE.

ON 1/22/2016, I WAS INVOLVED IN A FRONT END COLLISION WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO A MAJOR STREET. THE VEHICLE I COLLIDED WITH APPROXIMATE SPEED WAS 35MPH WHEN THE COLLISION OCCURRED!!! THE SMELL OF GUN POWDER WAS THROUGH OUT MY VEHICLE. ALSO THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON MY DASH BOARD. NONE OF THE FACTORY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED DURING THE FRONT END COLLISION!!!

2013 LTZ SILVERADO 47,000 MILAGE DASH CRACKED IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG AREA. FEEL COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF IN AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED CAUSING THE DASH TO THROW SHARDS OF PLASTIC IN CAB. IT CRACKED ONE DAY JUST AS I STARTED TRUCK WHILE STATIONARY.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT RUNS FROM THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COVER TO THE EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD PIECE. THE DASHBOARD PIECE IS ELEVATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CRACK. THERE IS ALSO A SECOND CRACK FORMING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SAME DASHBOARD PIECE NEAR THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT PANEL HOOD.

I HAVE HAD A VIBRATION ISSUE SINCE GETTING MY SECOND SET OF REPLACEMENT RIMS. I AM ON MY THIRD SET OF WHEELS AND THE VIBRATION IS WORSE. WHILE HAVING A COMPETENT DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THE FRONT WHEELS FAKE CHROME PLASTIC CAP CAME OFF ON THE MECHANIC WHILE DRIVING IT. THE OTHER 3 ARE LOOSE. GM SAID THEY WILL REPLACE THE FRONT WHEEL BUT THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE OTHER 3 EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. THIS WOULD BE THE FOURTH SET OF WHEELS IN 28000 MILES. THE FIRST SET WAS REPLACED AT 1000 MILES. THE VIBRATION ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS IS DUE TO THE CRAPPY WHEELS. ALUMINUM WHEELS WITH A FOAM LAMINATE WITH THE FAKE CHROME PLASTIC CAP SOMEHOW ADHERED TO THE FOAM. THESE ARE 20" FAKE CHROME CLAD WHEELS. I ASKED THE DEALER TO TOW IT IN AND REPLACE THE WHEELS AGAIN. I ALSO CONTACTED GM ZONE OFFICE WITH AN EMPLOYEE GETTING BACK TO ME WITH A PREPARED STATEMENT HE DID NOT WANT TO DEVIATE FROM. I INFORMED HIM THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS I WOULD NOT WANT TO BE THE MOTORCYCLIST THAT GETS THE PART IN THE HEAD WHEN ANOTHER ONE COMES APART. I COULD NOT GET AN ANSWER FROM EITHER THE DEALER OR GM AS TO IT BEING SAFE OR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS TOLD THE OTHER 3 WHEELS ARE AT MY COST EVEN THOUGH IT IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND THE TRUCK HAS A CONTINUOUS VIBRATION ISSUE. I HAVE ATTACHED A PHOTO. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO BALANCE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHTS THAT ARE ATTACHED TO EACH WHEEL IS ABSURD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. AFTER THE IGNITION KEY WAS TURNED TO THE ON POSITION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR INTAKE HOSE NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SENSOR NEEDED TO BE RESET. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG. AN ONLINE SEARCH HAS TURNED UP HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR CRACKS, SOME MUCH WORSE, ON SIMILAR CHEVROLET AND GMC VEHICLES. MANY OWNERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT AIRBAG SAFETY WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARD. IN MY CASE, I NEVER LEAVE OR PLACE ANYTHING ON THE DASHBOARD, I.E. FEET, MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS OF WEIGHT, ETC. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED ABOUT SEP 26, 2015. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT OR ANOMALY THAT OCCURRED TO MY KNOWLEDGE THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 (NA) CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD AND BACKWARD AFTER STARTING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED IN COLD WEATHER. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SHIFT WITH AN EXTREMELY LOUD CLUNKING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12.

PURCHASED VEHICLE WITH 9000 MILES ON IT JULY OF 2014. WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS FOUND THAT THE FRAME WAX IS PEELING RESULTING IN THE FRAME RUSTING. DEALERS ARE ADVISING BECAUSE OF MILEAGE (40K) NOT THEIR ISSUE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. ONCE THE DEFROSTER WAS ACTIVATED, IT FAILED TO DEFROST THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD BLOCKING THE CONTACT'S VISIBILITY. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE FLAP WAS STUCK AND MANUALLY MOVED THE FLAPPER. THE FAILURE RECURRED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. MA 10/19/15 THE CONSUMER STATED THE PASSENGER SIDE COLD AND THE DRIVER SIDE WAS NORMAL. HOWEVER, AFTER ADJUSTING THE TEMPERATURE SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD RESUME NORMAL OPERATION AFTER 5-10 MINUTES. UPDATED 03/31/16. *JB

DRIVING AT APPROX 35-40 MPH APPROACHING A HAIRPIN TURN TRIED TO BREAK AND VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN SLID THROUGH THE CORNER INTO A ROCK, PUT THE VEHICLE IS REVERSE AND PRESSED ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE RPM INCREASED ON OWN TRIED TO BREAK THE RPM DID NOT DIMINISH(FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR) BEFORE I HAD TIME TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF I HIT A TREE BEHIND ME. IT APPEARS SOMETHING STUCK IN ACCELERATOR (MECHANICAL) OR THE COMPUTER SYSTEM( ELECTRONICS) FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN TESTED.

I NOTICED LITERALLY FROM ONE DAY TO THE NEXT THAT THE DASH BOARD IN MY 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO IS CRACKING. THE CRACK APPEARED ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BAG. I BABY THIS TRUCK IN AN ATTEMPT TO KEEP IT LOOKING NEW. I DON'T EVEN REALLY DRIVE IT AND IT IS GARAGE KEPT. I FEEL THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE CRACK BEING RIGHT THERE ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I HAVE TWO KIDS AND I DON'T EVEN LET THEN RIDE UP FRONT ANYMORE IN FEAR THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT DEPLOY AND SHARP PIECES OF THE DASH WILL FLY IN THEIR FACES.

2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN USING THE BRAKE CONTROLLER, THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO BRAKES. THE CONSUMER VISITED THE DEALER TO SEE IF THE BRAKE CONTROLLER COULD BE ADJUSTED. SO THE TRAILER BRAKES WOULD START SOONER AND GET STRONGER. *JB UPDATED 09/17/15*LJ UPDATED 11/30/2017*CN

AT PARKING SPEEDS THE STEERING GETS LIKE IF POWER STEERING IS DEAD. TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP WHO NOTICED PROBLEM AND SAID IT WAS "NORMAL" . PARKING CAN BECOME A RISKY MANEUVER. PS FLUID AND BELT ARE NORMAL.

I HAVE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I'M NOT SURE WHAT STEPS I SHOULD TAKE IN RESOLVING THIS. HERE'S WHAT HAD HAPPEN: LAST SUNDAY 6-21-15, MY HUSBAND AND I WAS WORKING IN THE GARDEN AND WE HEARD A LOUD POP, APPROX. 30 FEET FROM US WAS MY TRUCK AND THE PASSENGER BACK WINDOW BOWED OUT WITH BREAKAGE OF GLASS.WE WERE IN SHOCK! NOTHING WAS AROUND THE TRUCK, BIRDS, PEOPLE, ETC.. I TOOK PICTURES BEFORE WE DID ANYTHING. I SEARCHED ON THE WEB AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM (DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES). I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THERE IS A INVESTIGATION OR RECALL ON A SITUATION LIKE THIS. IT CONCERNS ME BECAUSE IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING, MY PASSENGERS (GRAND CHILD) THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION PLUS THE INTENSE SOUND WOULD HAD CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I'M NOT SURE WHO WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? COULD YOU PLEASE SEND ME SOME FEED BACK ON WHAT I CAN AND CAN NOT DO IN RESOLVING THIS. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. SINCERELY, A CONCERN CITIZEN

ALL STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL SHUT OFF. DEALER STATES CODE C0455, STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE HOW MANY CODE C0455 HAVE BEEN LISTED FOR YEARS. SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY GM. KNOWN ISSUE NOT BEING REPAIRED CAUSING STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL TO DISENGAGE. THE NUMBERS POSTED IN FORUMS INDICATE A LARGE PROBLEM. SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I PURCHASED A NEW BLACK 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB IN OCTOBER 2012 FROM MARINE CHEVROLET IN JACKSONVILLE, NC WITH A 3 YR/36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. ON 16 MAY, 2015, I CALLED MARINE CHEVROLET'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT A 1 1/2"CRACK ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY TRUCK HAD 37,017 MILES AND WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR 8:30 AM ON 18 MAY, 2015. AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH OVER THE WEEKEND, I LEARNED THAT OTHER CHEVY AND GMC OWNERS OF TRUCK AND SUV MODELS BETWEEN 2007 AND 2013 REPORTED CRACKED DASHES NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS. ON 18 MAY, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MARINE CHEVROLET'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO EXAMINE THE CRACK. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, CHEVROLET WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CRACK HAPPENED LESS THAN THREE YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND I WAS AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF THESE DASHBOARDS. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TALKED TO HIS SERVICE MANAGER AND LATER TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD PAY THE MAJORITY OF THE MAINTENANCE COST AND THAT I WOULD ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR $100. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN IN FORUMS AND ONLINE NEWS ARTICLES, I FEEL GM MAY HAVE INSTALLED DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS IN 2007 - 2013 TRUCK AND SUV MODELS AND PASSED THE COST OF DEFECTIVE PARTS ONTO THE CUSTOMER. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS WITH A CRACK DASHBOARD SURROUNDING IT, THERE COULD AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF DASHBOARD SHRAPNEL FLYING INTO A PASSENGER'S FACE. I THINK NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE CRACKING DASHBOARD ISSUE IN GM'S SUVS AND PICK-UP TRUCKS FROM 2007 - 2013 AND INFLUENCE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

TRYING TO TURN IN DRIVEWAY AT HOME, PICKUP TRUCK SURGED AHEAD, CAUSING HEAD-ON COLLISION WITH FIRE HYDRANT, STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, SEATBELT LOCKED UP, DOORS WOULD NOT UNLOCKED. MY WIFE SUSTAINED NUMEROUS INJURIES. COMPLAINED TO INSURANCE COMPANY TO NO AVAIL. GM SHOWED UP AT MY HOUSE FOR COMPUTER ANALYSIS, PROCESS STILL ONGOING. TRUCK IN SHOP FOR SURGING WAITING ON RESULTS. MY WIFE WILL NOT OPERATE TRUCK ANYMORE. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES ADJACENT TO THE AIRBAG COVER. GM AND THE DEALER ARE WILLING TO REPLACE IT OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ARE REQUIRING ME TO COVER NEARLY HALF THE REPLACEMENT COST OF $700. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD CREATE PLASTIC PROJECTILES IN THE CABIN THAT COULD INJURE A PASSENGER. I CAN PROVIDE A PHOTO IF REQUESTED. *TR

I BROUGHT MY '13 SILVERADO IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE THE A/C WOULD NOT COME ON AND DEFOG THE WINDSHIELD IN THE RECENT SNOW STORM. THE SERVICE REP (CORRECTLY) INFORMED ME THAT THE A/C COMPRESSOR WILL NOT TURN IF THE TEMPERATURE IS BELOW 40F. SO NO FIX BY THE DEALER WAS DONE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN COLD/FREEZING WEATHER CONDITIONS WHERE THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP SEVERELY WHEN YOU GET IN THE TRUCK. THE FOGGING CONTINUES EVEN AFTER THE HEATER IS WARMED UP AND BLOWING HOT AIR OUT THE DEFROSTER DUCTS ESPECIALLY IF THE PASSENGERS ARE WET OR SNOWY WHEN THEY GET IN. I DO UNDERSTAND THAT GM IS TRYING PREVENT THE A/C EVAPORATOR FROM BEING BLOCKED BY FREEZING CONDENSATION, BUT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS SITUATION COULD BE HELPED BY RECIRCULATION OF CABIN AIR PLUS BLEEDING SOME HOT AIR FROM THE HEATER CORE BACK TO THE A/C EVAPORATOR. THIS ISSUE REALLY NEEDS TO BE FIXED SO THAT THE TRUCK IS TRULY AN "ALL WEATHER VEHICLE" IN FALLING SNOW BELOW 40. *TR

2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. *SMD THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS BENT. IT WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE VIBRATION WAS STILL PRESENT. THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED, NOTHING MORE COULD BE DONE. *JB

STALLS IN REVERSE..2013 CHEVY SILVERADO

THE 2013 SILVERADO TRUCK I OWN HAS A LOUD POPPING NOISE IN THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHEN THE TRUCK IS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS NORMAL, BUT THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT TO HIM. THIS IS CAUSING CONCERN TO ME THAT THE TRUCK MAY BE A FIRE HAZARD SINCE THE EXHAUST GETS SO HOT THAT IT POPS LOUDLY AS IT COOLS OFF. OTHER TRUCKS DO NOT MAKE THIS MUCH NOISE IF ANY. I AM GETTING MORE AFRAID THAT THE TRUCK MAY CATCH ON FIRE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT. I HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS SINCE JAN. 2014 TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. AS OF TODAY, OCT. 13, THERE IS STILL ISSUES WITH THE EXHAUST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE BECAME PREMATURELY WORN APPROXIMATELY EVERY 17,000 MILES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 9,500.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE DIMMING INTERMITTENTLY WHENEVER SOMETHING ELECTRICAL WAS BEING OPERATED. ON ONE OCCASION, THE WINDOW WAS BEING OPENED AND THE HEADLIGHTS DIMMED DOWN INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 70 MPH WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ACTIVATED, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY ACCELERATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED FIRMLY TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000.

ON THE WAY TO WORK ON MONDAY MORNING, SEPT 1ST, 2014 AS MY HUSBAND APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT HE NOTICED THE VEHICLE AT THE LIGHT BACKUP LIGHTS COME ON. HE THOUGHT THEY MAY HAVE PULLED TOO FAR UP UNDER THE STOP LIGHT AND WERE JUST GOING TO BACK UP A LITTLE BIT SO HE APPLIED HIS BRAKES. THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE PROCEEDED TO PUSH THE GAS AND SLAM IN TO THE FRONT OF MY HUSBAND'S TRUCK THEN DRIVE OFF. MY HUSBAND PROCEEDED TO THE NEARBY PILOT FUEL STOP LOOKED AROUND TO SEE IF THE OTHER VEHICLE WAS THERE THEN CALLED THE POLICE TO FILE A REPORT. AFTER THAT HE WENT ON TO WORK A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. WORKED HIS SHIFT, STOPPED AND PUT A LITTLE GAS IN HIS TRUCK AND DROVE THE 9 MILES HOME. PARKED IN THE DRIVE WENT IN THE HOUSE AND CAME BACK OUT A FEW MINUTES LATER THERE WAS SMOKE THEN FIRE COMING FROM AROUND THE FRONT TIRE OF THE TRUCK. IT SOON BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES DESPITE THE EFFORTS OF THE LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. THE TRUCK WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *TR

ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, THE RPM'S RACE WHILE SHIFTING. VEHICLE ACTS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING FROM 1-2. EARLY IN THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE I THOUGHT THIS WAS ONLY SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED THE FIRST TIME SHIFTING AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE GARAGE HOWEVER, AS THE TRUCK GETS MORE MILES ON IT, THE PROBLEM HAPPENS MORE OFTEN AND WHEN TAKING OFF FROM STOPS WHEN HOT. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT TO DEALER TO DIAGNOSE COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS A BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BUT SINCE THE TECH COULDN'T VERIFY IT, THEY DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. DEALER SAID I HAVE A GOOD POWERTRAIN WARRANTY SO IF SOMETHING BREAKS LATER I SHOULD BE COVERED. NOT ONLY IS THIS UNPROFESSIONAL AND POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY LITERALLY DID NOTHING TO ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE OR CONFIRM THE PROBLEM. THERE SEEMS TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE RELATED TO RPM RACING COMPLAINTS. *TR

VEHICLE UNEXPECTEDLY ACCELERATED AT A GRADUAL INCREASE FORM 25 TO 40 MPH ON ITS OWN ACCORD. VEHICLE DID DECELERATE ONCE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. MANUFACTURE NOTIFIED THROUGH THE VISIT TO THE DEALER ,AND. *TR

WE HAVE MANY PROBLEMS WITH OUR TRUCK. I DON'T REMEMBER ALL THE DATES SO I AM STARTING WITH THE MOST RECENT AND WILL WORK BACK. ON 7/17/14 I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY TRUCK LOCKED UP ON ME AND THE TRUCK WOULD NO LONGER ACCELERATE. I COULD NO LONGER STEER. HAD I NOT BEEN TRYING TO MAKE A LANE CHANGE WHEN IT HAPPENED, I WOULD HAVE BEEN RAN OVER BY 2 SEMIS WHO THEN HAD TO SCRAMBLE TO AVOID HITTING ME. ONE TOOK THE TURN LANE WHILE THE OTHER ALMOST RAN A CAR OFF THE ROAD TO GET AROUND ME. EVERYTHING ELSE ON THE TRUCK WAS STILL WORKING, LIGHTS, AC, RADIO, WINDOWS, EVERYTHING, JUST NOT STEERING. ONE TIME I TURNED ON MY TRUCK AND COULD NOT SWITCH THROUGH THE GEARS SO THAT I COULD DRIVE AND THE DASH HAD NO INFORMATION ON IT (NO COMPASS, TEMP READING, MILEAGE). IT WOULD MOVE THROUGH THE GEARS BUT IT WOULDN'T DRIVE. I HAD TO TURN MY TRUCK ON AND OFF 3 TIMES BEFORE I COULD DRIVE. OUR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW NO LONGER AUTO ROLLS DOWN, OUR BUMPER IS FALLING APART AND WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DRIVERS DOOR LEAKS WHEN IT RAINS, AND OUR DOOR LOCKS WILL OCCASIONALLY NOT DISENGAGE SO WHEN WE GO TO SHUT THE DOOR IT JUST BOUNCES OF THE LATCH. THIS HAS CAUSED ONE OF OUR DOORS TO COME OFF THE HINGES AND ALMOST FALL OFF OUR TRUCK. WE HAVE HAD ALL 4 DOOR LOCKS REPLACED AND THEY ARE STILL DOING IT. *TR

I WANT TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT I HAVE A VIBRATION PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK AND BELIEVE THE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GOODYEAR TIRES THE DEALER HAS CHANGED 11 TIRES AND ONE RIM ON MY TRUCK THE WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THERE IS A STRONG VIBRATION AND THE LONGER YOU DRIVE THE WORSE IT GETS I THINK BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE HEATING AND MAKING THE TIRE WEAK THERE IS ONLY ONE TIRE AVAILABLE IN THE SIZE THAT GM POSTED ON DOOR STICKER GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A LT265/60R20E I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK NEW GM SAYS VIBRATION IS NORMAL THE VIBRATION GETS TO THE POINT WHERE IT FEELS LIKE THE WHEEL WANT TO COME OFF THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUES ON LINE GM TRUCKS .COM. *TR

WHEN THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WAS PLACED IN PARK, IT WOULD ROLL ON ITS OWN EVEN WITH THE PARKING BRAKE FIRMLY APPLIED (OUR DRIVEWAY IS RATHER STEEP), AS THOUGH THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL. WE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS TO RE-ENGAGE THE TRANSMISSION TO WORK PROPERLY, HOWEVER; NOTHING CHANGED. WE REPORTED IT IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER THE FOLLOWING MONDAY, BUT, THEIR MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE UPON INSPECTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PARKING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THERE WAS A SUDDEN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURED THE VEHICLE JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 12,758 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 19,433.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH A DRUNK DRIVER CRASHED INTO THE CONTACTS VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED A BROKEN FOOT AND WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 22,000.

I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE 5.3 LITER ENGINE IN MY 2013 CHEVY SILVERADO. I AM ENCOUNTERING PISTON SLAP FOR UP TO 5 MINUTES WHEN STARTING VEHICLE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM MULTIPLE TIMES, AND I HAVE HAD THE PISTON SLAP NOISE DOCUMENTED AT ROY ROBINSON CHEVROLET IN MARYSVILLE WA. I AM ATTEMPTING TO GET MY DEFECTIVE ENGINE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT GM DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE. I AM CONCERNED ONE OF THE PISTONS COULD FAIL, CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE, PUTTING MYSELF OR A FAMILY MEMBER IN A FATAL SITUATION. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE DOCUMENTED. ANY ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU *TR

THE PROBLEM I HAVE BEEN HAVING HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ALMOST A YEAR. THE STEERING WHEEL SEEMS TO HAVE A "DEAD SPOT" IN IT WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED 3/4 TURN TO 1 COMPLETE TURN. YOU CAN FEEL THE SLACK IN THE STEERING BOX WHEN MAKING A TURN(LEFT OR RIGHT)THE STEERING WHEEL WILL HAVE UP TO 2 1/2 INCHES OF "FREE PLAY" WHEN TURNING(THERE IS NO "FREE PLAY" WHEN DRIVING STRAIGHT) IT HAS BEEN DOING THIS SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT THE PICKUP NEW OFF OF THE LOT. I HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT SINCE THEN AND BEEN TOLD BY GM MECHANICS THAT IT IS THE STEERING GEAR. IF YOU TIGHTEN UP THE STEERING GEAR IT WILL TAKE THE "FREE PLAY" OUT, BUT THE STEERING WILL BE MORE SENSITIVE WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. SO TIGHTENING UP THE STEERING GEAR SOLVES ONE PROBLEM BUT CAUSES PROBLEMS ELSEWHERE??? ACCORDING TO THE FEDERAL MOTOR CARRIER SAFETY ADMINISTRATION(FMCSA) SECTION 393.209 STEERING WHEEL SYSTEMS. THAT(DEPENDING ON THE SIZE OF STEERING WHEEL) THE STEERING WHEEL LASH SHALL NOT EXCEED 14 DEGREES ANGULAR ROTATION FOR MANUAL STEERING OR 30 DEGREES ANGULAR ROTATION FOR POWER STEERING SYSTEMS AT ANY GIVEN POSITION OF THE STEERING WHEEL. WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS LIKE THAT ON COMMERCIAL VEHICLES, HOW IS MY PERSONAL VEHICLE CONSIDERED "SAFE" WITH 2 1/2 INCHES OF "FREE PLAY" IN THE STEERING WHEEL??? *JS

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN 12/2013, THE RUBBER DOOR GASKETS DEVELOP A VERY STRONG CHEMICAL SMELL WHEN TRUCK SITS IN THE SUN, OR WHEN WEATHER IS WARM, WHICH IS MOST OF THE TIME HERE IN FLORIDA. IT SMELLS BAD ENOUGH TO CAUSE NAUSEA, WHICH IS A DISTRACTION WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS A REMEDY TO THIS PROBLEM. *JS

ON TUESDAY MARCH 18, 2014 I WAS DRIVING A 2013 CHEVY SILVERADO AND REAR ENDED A CHEVY TAHAO AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH WITHOUT HITTING MY BRAKES. CONDITIONS AT THE TIME WERE CLEAR AND DRY ALTHOUGH VERY WINDY. I WAS THE ONLY PASSENGER IN MY TRUCK. I WAS WEARING MY SEATBELT. I HIT THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY CHEST. THE ONSTAR SYSTEM CALLED TO SAY THEY COULD SEE I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND HELP WAS ON THE WAY. I EXCHANGED INFO WITH THE OTHER DRIVER AND RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE. THE SEATBELT WAS IN THE EXTENDED POSITION AND WOULD NOT EXTEND FURTHER OR RETRACT. ON THE DISPLAY PANEL IT HAD AN 'AIRBAG DEPLOYED' ICON AND MESSAGE 'SERVICE AIRBAG'. MY INSURANCE COMPANY GAVE ME A AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO GO TO FOR AN ESTIMATE, HOWEVER, THE SHOP TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT TOUCH THE VEHICLE UNTIL A GM REPRESENTATIVE INVESTIGATED THE SYSTEM FIRST AS THEY FELT THE SEATBELT SHOULD HAVE PREVENTED ME FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. I CALLED GM AND SPOKE WITH WALTER IN CUSTOMER SERVICE. HE ARRANGED TO HAVE A 'THIRD PARTY' INVESTIGATOR COME AND DO A INTERROGATION OF THE SYSTEM AND ARRANGED FOR A LOANER VEHICLE. RAYTHEON REPRESENTATIVE 'JEFF" CALLED ME SUNDAY MARCH 20 AND STATED HE WAS TO INTERROGATE THE SYSTEM AND WOULD CONTACT ME FROM THE AIRPORT WHEN HE GOT TO TOWN ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 23. ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 23 I CALLED JEFF TO SEE IF HE WAS IN TOWN AND HE STATED HE WAS AT THE AIRPORT 'LEAVING' TOWN, HE HAD DONE HIS INVESTIGATION AND DETERMINED EVERYTHING WORKED LIKE IT SHOULD. I ASKED HIM IF I WAS SUPPOSED TO HIT THE STEERING WHEEL AND HE STATED HE DID NOT AGREE OR DISAGREE. *TR

MY WIPER BLADE WAS DAMAGED FROM ICE AND ROAD SPRAY DURING A STORM. I TRIED TO BUY A REPLACEMENT. FOUND WIPER USES AN ODD VEHICLE SPECIFIC MOUNT. WIPER BLADE SEEMS TO BE ONLY AVAILABLE FROM CHEVY. NOT EVEN A DELCO BLADE IS AVAILABLE. THERE IS NO REASON TO USE A NEW STYLE MOUNT, THE BASIC ARM AND BLADE ARE THE SAME AS ALWAYS. NOT HAVING THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY REPLACE A DAMAGED BLADE DURING BAD WEATHER CREATES A REAL SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS WHEN CHEVY DEALERS ARE CLOSED. *TR

THE PASSENGER WINDSHIELD WIPER DOES NOT TOUCH THE WINDSHIELD TO THE EXTREME RIGHT IN THE LOWER POSITION. THIS CAUSES A STREAKED WINDSHIELD AND ICE BUILD UP IN THE WINTER. IT MAKES IT HARD TO SO A CAR APPROACHING FROM THE RIGHT IN RAIN AND ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE IN THE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE BLADE BUT THE NEW BLADE STILL DOESN'T WIPE THE FULL WINDSHIELD. I'VE CALLED GM AND THEY SIAD THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO SINCE IT MUST BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE WIPER SYSTEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE AT NIGHT IN A RAIN AND IN THE WINTER WHEN THERE IS ANY ICE OR SNOW. THERE ARE TWO WEBSITES THAT ARE GM TRUCK OWNERS AND THERE ARE SEVERAL COMMENTS VERY CLOSE TO THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING WITH MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS. *TR

UPDATED 03/11/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED BY THE TIME HIS FOOT REACHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ENGINE WAS HOLDING A CONSTANT 1400 RPM, RESULTING IN NOT ONLY TRYING TO SLOW THE MASS OF THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE AGAINST AN ENGINE LOCKED AT 1400 RPM. THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THAT HE REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR AS A TEST AND THEN POPPED THE STEERING COLUMN GEAR SHIFTER INTO NEUTRAL AND THE ENGINE GAINED ANOTHER 200 RPM FOR 3-4 SECONDS.

THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADREST SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE ARE HARD AS A ROCK. I FEEL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE OCCUPANTS HEAD HITS THE HEADREST IT WILL DEFINITELY CAUSE HARM TO THE BACK OF THE PERSONS HEAD. THERE IS NEXT TO NO CUSHIONING IN THE CENTER, THE SIDES ARE SOFT BUT NOT THE MIDDLE. I FEEL THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN JUNE 2013, I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE WHEN THE TRUCK SITS WITHOUT BEING USED FOR SEVERAL DAYS, WHEN I BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE TRANSMISSIONS SLIPS. THE TRUCK WON'T MOVE FOR A SECOND, THE ENGINE RPM'S RACE AND THEN WHEN THE TRANSMISSION CATCHES, IT WILL ACTUALLY SQUEAL THE TIRES. THEN AT TIMES IT WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS FOR THE FIRST SEVERAL TIMES I STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. THIS DOESN'T SEEM TO HAPPEN ONCE THE TRUCK HAS BEEN DRIVEN FOR A DISTANCE, AND IT DOESN'T HAPPEN EVERYTIME THE TRUCK IS USED. I'VE TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND HE SAYS THEY'VE NOT HAD ANY ISSUES WITH OTHER TRUCKS. I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO PICK UP THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HAVE HIM WITH ME WHEN I START MY TRUCK TODAY AFTER IT HAS SET FOR FOUR DAYS. I HOPE IT DOES THIS WITH HIM IN THE VEHICLE SO HE CAN FEEL WHAT'S HAPPENING. I'VE BEEN A LOYAL CHEVY OWNER FOR OVER 30 YEARS BUT I'M REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS TRUCK WHICH COSTS $45,000. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2013 SILVERADO, WHILE TAKING POSSESSION OF THE TRUCK I NOTICED THE UNDERCOATING HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE FRAME RAIL ABOVE THE RIGHT REAR TIRE AND HAD BEGUN TO RUST. I IMMEDIATELY COMPLAINED, BUT WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CONTACT GM. I IMMEDIATELY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM. THE REPAIR WAS TO SPRAY AFTER MARKET UNDER COATING FROM A SPRAY CAN ON THE ALREADY RUSTY PARTS. I COMPLAINED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS ALL THEY WERE GOING TO DO TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE IF LEFT ON THE ROAD FOR THE NEXT 10 YRS WILL END IN SOMEONE'S DEATH AS THE FRAME WILL BE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. *TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH DOWNHILL, THE GRADE BRAKE ACTIVATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS STATED THAT THE FEATURE WAS BUILT TO FUNCTION IN THE MANNER IN WHICH IT DID. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO DISABLE THE FEATURE MANUALLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000.

TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS MULTIPLE GEARS WHEN I DECELERATE. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED AT 70 MPH CAUSING A VERY HARD DECELERATION AND NEAR LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I HAVE HAD THREE OTHER LIKE INCIDENCES AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 45 AND 70 MPH. THESE HAPPENED ON DRY PAVEMENT AND I WAS ABLE TO SLOW SAFELY. HAD THIS OCCURRED ON WET OR SNOW COVERED ROADS, I HAVE NO DOUBT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT. 2 . AT TIMES WHEN I ACCELERATE THERE IS NO THROTTLE RESPONSE FOR SEVERAL SECONDS. WHEN THE ENGINE DOES RESPOND, THE TRUCK ACCELERATES AS IF I HAVE THE THROTTLE FLOORED. AGAIN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON DRY PAVEMENT. SLICK CONDITIONS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SPIN OUT. 3. VEHICLE SURGES BETWEEN 20 AND 45 MPH. ENGINE RPM CONTINUALLY JUMPS 200-300 RPM CAUSING CONSTANT SURGING. BESIDES BEING VERY ANNOYING, IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS ON ICY ROADS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME HARD TO TURN.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,289 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 11,500.

APRIL, 2013 - TRUCK WAS PARKED OUT SIDE, AND I LEFT FOR A 70 MILE TRIP EARLY IN THE MORNING, AFTER THE DEW HAD FALLEN. JUNE, 2013 - A TROPICAL STORM SWEPT THROUGH THE AREA, DUMPING TONS OF RAIN; CAUSING THE HUMIDITY TO RISE A FEW HOURS LATER AS WELL AS CAUSING EVERYTHING TO BE MOIST/WET. BOTH EVENTS WERE EITHER IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS OR IN THE EVENING AFTER THE SUN WENT DOWN, AND INVOLVE WETNESS/MOISTURE, HUMIDITY, AND THE INABILITY TO "DRY" THE WINDSHIELD. PROBLEM: THERE IS A "CONDENSATION FILM" THAT FORMS ON THE WINDSHIELD DUE TO THE OUTSIDE ELEMENTS BEING MORE MOIST AND HUMID THAN THE INSIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. USUALLY, WHEN TURNING ON THE DEFROSTER, THIS WILL "DRY" THE WINDSHIELD AND MAKE THE CONDENSATION FILM GO AWAY. HOWEVER, THE DEFROSTER ON THIS MODEL DOES NOT "DRY" THE WINDSHIELD ON THE RIGHT SIDE (PASSENGER) OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR COMING OUT OF THE DEFROSTER ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS NOT AS STRONG AS THE LEFT. THERE IS A CONSTANT CONDENSATION FILM THAT FORMS AND REMAINS. THE WIPERS WILL CLEAR THE WETNESS/MOISTURE AWAY, TEMPORARILY, BUT THE FILM REMAINS AND THE MOISTURE/WETNESS RETURNS. THIS MAKES THE VISIBILITY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TRUCK NON-EXISTENT, AND WHEN TURNING A RIGHT HAND CORNER, OR ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, YOU CAN NOT SEE OUT OF THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD. THIS IS A LIABILITY AND ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN....... CONFIRMATION/MANUFACTURER KNOWLEDGE: I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALER - TWICE - AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL" FOR THIS MODEL. I CONTACTED THE GM HOTLINE, WHO ESCALATED THE CLAIM TO THE ENGINEERING CLAIMS DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM, THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF IT, AND TOLD THE DEALER NOT TO DO ANY REPAIRS AT THIS TIME. I ALSO TALKED TO THE DEALERS HEAD MECHANIC WHO SAID THAT HE HAS SEEN THIS NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST. IS GM WAITING FOR A DEATH BEFORE FIXING? PICTURES AVAILABLE... *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED SILVERADO 3500HD TRUCK, I HAD NO IDEA IT DID NOT HAVE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM UNTIL I GOT HOME AND WAS GOING THROUGH THE VEHICLE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER. I THOUGHT ALL CONSUMER VEHICLES HAS THIS SAFETY FEATURE. AS IT TURNS OUT EVERYONE AT THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALSO SURPRISED. CHEVROLET HAS THIS LISTED AS AN OPTION FOR A 3500HD, HOWEVER THEY SAY IT IS NOT A SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION. I THINK THE NHTSA NEEDS TO REVISE THEIR TPMS TO ALL VEHICLES SOLD NOT JUST THOSE BELOW 10,000LBS. TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE FOR ALL VEHICLES, AND CAN HELP AVOID MANY MISTAKES. I APPRECIATED IT IN MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE, I WAS ALERTED TO A NAIL IN LEAK AND FOUND A NAIL, I COULD HAVE EASILY DRIVEN ON THE TIRE AND HAD IT FAIL WHILE DRIVING. NEAREST I CAN TELL, THE COMPONENTS EXCEPT FOR THE SENSORS ARE IN THE TRUCK AS IT IS THE SAME AS THE 2500HD, GM JUST REFUSES TO MAKE THE REQUIRED SOFTWARE CHANGES TO SUPPORT ADDING TPMS TO MY NEW TRUCK. I'VE GOTTEN EVERY EXCUSE UNDER THE SUN UNTIL I GOT THE ITS NOT A SUPPORTED CONFIGURATION, NOTE I WAS NOT TOLD IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE. (THOUGH SOMEONE DID, STATING THE TIRES WERE THE ISSUE, BUT THE TIRES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE THE SAME AS ON THE 2500HD). *TR

HAD VEHICLE APPROX. 2 WEEKS ON 4-10-13 WOULD NOT START FOR SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. IT STARTED I PULLED OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND IT DIED I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IMMEDIATELY. DEALER HAD IT ONE DAY SAID THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE ISSUE SO DID NOTHING. SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED WAS ABOUT 3 WEEKS AFTER THAT THIS TIME I WAS GOING ABOUT 45MPH AND WITH NO WARNING IT JUST DIED IN THE ROAD ALMOST GOT HIT BY 2 PEOPLE BEHIND ME. TOOK OVER 8 MINUTES TO GET RESTARTED DURING WHICH TIME SEVERAL MORE PEOPLE HAD TO SWERVE TO MISS ME. I DROVE ABOUT 1/2 MILE TO WORK PARKED, TRIED TO RESTART IT WOULDN'T START WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. AFTER COUPLE DAYS DEALERSHIP SAID COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I PRESSED THE ISSUE AND MADE IT CLEAR THIS WAS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND SOMEONE WAS GOING TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED. AFTER ABOUT ONE WEEK THEY SAID THE PROBLEM DUPLICATED AND THE PART I NEED IS ON BACK ORDER (A MODULE). THIS IS WHERE THE TRUCK IS NOW. AFTER 'GOOGLING' THIS ISSUE THE FIRST TIME I FOUND NOT STARTING IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PASSLOCK SYSTEM MALFUNCTION AND THE FIX IS ONE OF TWO THINGS ONE OF WHICH IS THE MODULE BEING REPLACED NOW. I RELAYED THIS INFORMATION TO THE DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME OF THE FIRST INCIDENT BUT NOTHING WAS DONE. I FEEL THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING IT HAPPENS AT SPEED WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING. HOPEFULLY THIS WILL FIX IT BUT GM MUST BE AWARE OF THIS CONSIDERING ALL THE ONLINE FORUMS PERTAINING TO THIS PRECISE ISSUE AND SHOULD BE MORE EAGER TO FIX SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED EVEN IF IT CAN'T BE DUPLICATED WHILE IN THE SHOP.
