2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

2008 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 FIRE ON 11/20/20 I WAS DRIVING 3 MILES TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE AND AS SOON AS I PULLED UP, I SMELT FIRE. I GOT OUT TO FIND OUT THAT MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT AND EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD WAS ON FIRE!! AS I STARTED TO RUN FOR HELP, I TRIPPED OVER A LARGE SIZE CURB AND LANDED ON MY FACE. MY NECK, SHOULDERS AND BACK HAVE BEEN DIFFICULT TO MOVE SINCE THIS HAPPENED. I TRIED TO LIFT THE HOOD BUT THAT WAS TOO HOT TO DO SO, I RAN INTO MY FRIENDS HOUSE SCREAMING FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!! AS I WAS RUNNING BACK TO REMOVE AS MUCH AS I COULD OUT OF THE TRUCK HER HUSBAND CAME OUT WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SHE CAME WITH THE HOSE. I NOW I CAN BARELY MOVE MY NECK, MY BACK IS IN SEVERE PAIN, AND MY RIBS HURT IMMENSELY. AS I SURVIVED THIS LIFE THREATENING ORDEAL, I STARTED DOING BACKGROUND CHECKS ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND 124 DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS GM PROBLEM. HOW IS THIS NOT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT?!!

FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE REPLACEMENT 1500/2500, SIERRA 1500/2500) WAS NEVER REPLACED BY THE DEALER, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING, ALMOST LOST CONTROL WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE ENGINE STALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE MET TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE THAT WAS SUPPOSE THE BE FIXED DURING THE RECALL. I JUST BOUGHT THIS TRUCK FROM THE CHEVY DEALER A MONTH AGO.

THIS VEHICLE HAS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL SINCE MAY 2016. MANUFACTURER RECALL # 2049151, NHTSA 16V381. THIS REPAIR IS STILL NOT COMPLETE. DEALER TELLS ME THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET AND THERE IS NO ETA FOR REPAIR PARTS. WHAT IS A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO EXPECT THAT MY VEHICLE WILL BE MADE SAFE?

THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECALL THAT IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE DEALERSHIP BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD FOR 3 YEARS THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS TO FIX IT

2008 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 FIRE ON 11/20/20 I WAS DRIVING 3 MILES TO MY FRIENDS HOUSE AND AS SOON AS I PULLED UP, I SMELT FIRE. I GOT OUT TO FIND OUT THAT MY PASSENGER HEADLIGHT AND EVERYTHING UNDER THE HOOD WAS ON FIRE!! I TRIED TO LIFT THE HOOD BUT THAT WAS TOO HOT TO DO SO, AND I RAN INTO MY GIRLFRIENDS HOUSE SCREAMING FOR A FIRE EXTINGUISHER!! AS I WAS RUNNING BACK TO REMOVE AS MUCH AS I COULD OUT OF THE TRUCK HER HUSBAND CAME OUT WITH THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER AND SHE CAME WITH THE HOSE. I HAD MY BRIEFCASE, PURSE, PORTABLE BOOM BOX AND STARTED RUNNING AS FAST AS I COULD BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BLOW UP, AND TRIPPED OVER THE CURB AND LANDED FACE FIRST IN THE DIRT. NOW I CAN BARELY MOVE MY NECK, MY BACK IS IN SEVERE PAIN, AND MY RIBS HURT IMMENSELY. AS I SURVIVED THIS LIFE THREATENING ORDEAL, I STARTED DOING BACKGROUND CHECKS ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE AND 124 DEATHS HAVE OCCURRED BECAUSE OF THIS GM PROBLEM. HOW IS THIS NOT A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT?!!

IN MY GARAGE, I RANDOMLY STARTED VEHICLE AND THE DASH INDICATOR LIGHT INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SYSTEM AND STAYS ON. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MONTHS AGO AND STILL INDICATES A PROBLEM EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND USED.

STARTED MY VEHICLE TO MOVE IT IN THE DRIVEWAY THIS PAST SATURDAY AND BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO SHIFT INTO GEAR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. NO COLLISION, ETC. THE VEHICLE WASN'T EVEN OUT OF PARK YET. SOUNDED LIKE A SHOTGUN WENT OFF IN THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS NOT LEANED FORWARD ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT GEARS OR I WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THE FULL FORCE OF THE DEPLOYMENT TO MY FACE. TOOK QUITE A HIT TO THE CHEST AND STOMACH AREA. EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THIS HAPPENED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IN TRAFFIC. UPON RESEARCH FOUND A PENDING RECALL WHICH HASN'T BEEN RESOLVED YET BY NHTSA. THIS ISSUE IS REAL AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR INJURED OTHERS IF THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING. I AM NOW STUCK WITH 2 DEPLOYED AIRBAGS AND IF I WISH TO REPAIR SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX PROBLEM. GM NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AND REPAIR. IF THE MANUFACTURER TAKATA HAS IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM PROVIDED AND UTILIZED BY GM THIS SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY GM.

WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION WHEN THE RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS WILL BE WILL BE RESOLVED

I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY 2016 OF A RECALL OF MY 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. SO FAR I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION TO RECTIFY THIS PROBLEM. HAS THE PROBLEM BEEN RESOLVED? I THINK 4-1/2 YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH.
