DASH BEGAN TO CRACK AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOOR. IF AIRBAG WAS TO GO OFF, DASH PIECES WOULD GO TOWARDS OCCUPANTS. CALLED GM, SAID NO RECALLS AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE OUT OF POCKET. SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. NUMEROUS OTHER SIMILAR MODELS AFFECTED.

WITHIN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK I BEGAN NOTICING RUST EVERYWHERE ON THE FRAME AND UNDERBODY. EACH YEAR THE RUST PROGRESSED GETTING MORE SEVERE. YEAR 3 I HAD MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE AND A RECALL AT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP. I SPOKE IN DETAIL WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT HOW BAD THE RUST ON THE UNDERBODY COMPONENTS AND FRAME WHERE AND CHECK FOR ANY RECALLS / BULLETINS. WELL LIKE THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OTHER 07-14 SILVERADO OWNERS I WAS TOLD IT WASN'T COVERED AND TO "SALT AWAY" OR OTHER MEASURES TO KEEP THE TRUCK FREE OF SALT DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. WHAT? YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING I THOUGHT. I EVEN SHOWED THE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS THAT COULD BE FOUND ACROSS THE INTERNET. UNFORTUNATELY HE WAS AWARE OF THE RUST PROBLEM, BUT HIS HANDS WERE TIED, AS GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE OR EXCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE OBVIOUS DEFECT IN THEIR STEEL FRAMES AND METAL. UNLESS GM POSTS A RECALL OR BULLETIN REGARDING THE RUST ISSUE THE DEALERSHIPS HANDS ARE TIED. NOW AT YEAR 8 MY TRUCK LOOKS AS NEW AS THE DAY I BOUGHT IT WITH ONLY 68,000 MILES. SO AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LOOK UNDERNEATH! JUST 3 MONTHS AGO I HAD MY TRUCK IN TO HAVE MY BRAKES DONE. THE SAME SERVICE MANAGER WHOM I KNOW PERSONALLY CALLED TO INFORM ME MY TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICK-UP AND ASKED ME IF I ROUTINELY DRIVE MY TRUCK ON THE BEACH DUE TO HOW BAD THE RUST HAD ADVANCED ON THE FRAME AND ENTIRE UNDERBODY!! WHICH OF COURSE I DO NOT! SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! AS I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW TRUCK AT TODAYS PRICES. NOR SHOULD I HAVE TO AFTER TAKING GREAT "SHOWROOM" CARE OF MY TRUCK. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY LEAD TO FRAMES AND/OR UNDERBODY COMPONENTS FAILING DURING OPERATION, CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR EVEN WORSE, DEATH.

MY FAMILY WAS INVOLVED WITH A COLLISION WITH A GUARDRAIL AT 45 DEGREES ANGLE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT. DRIVERS BAG DID NOT DEPLOY, PASSENGERS AIRBAG SMOKED BUT DID NOT DEPLOY. THANK GOD FOR SEATBELTS. THE COLLISION WAS AT 65 MPG

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WILL ALERT "STABILITRACK OFF" AND THEN MOMENTS LATER "ENGINE POWER REDUCED". YOU ARE THEN FORCED TO IMMEDIATELY PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE VEHICLE FOR AT LEAST 1 MINUTE BEFORE TURNING IT BACK ON. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON ROADS WHERE IT IS DANGEROUS TO PULL OVER PUTTING MYSELF AND OTHERS AT RISK FOR AN ACCIDENT. THE TRANSMISSION HAS BEEN REPLACED AND NO OTHER AUTO SHOP HAS AN ANSWER FOR ME AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE. THE COMPUTER HAS BEEN RESET MULTIPLE TIMES AND SOMETIMES THIS WILL HELP THE ISSUE NOT HAPPEN FOR A LONG LENGTH OF TIME BUT THE ISSUE ALWAYS COMES BACK. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF REVIEWS OF OTHER OWNERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, THE CONCLUSION IS NO ONE HAS THE SAME FIX AND THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME THERE IS NO FIX.

TAKATA RECALL: UPON RECEIPT OF THE RECALL NOTICE, I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING GM ABOUT THIS. THE STANDARD ANSWER I HAVE BEEN GIVEN EACH TIME IS THAT A 'REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE' ALONG WITH 'LACK OF AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT PARTS'. NOW THE CALL CENTER TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE REPLACING THE AIRBAGS BUT DUE TO THE NUMBER OF AFFECTED VEHICLES THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE A VERY LONG TIME AND I CANNOT JUST GO TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE REPAIR AND THAT I MUST WAIT FOR THE LETTER TO COME IN THE MAIL TO GET THE AIRBAGS REPLACED. I PLAN TO CALL MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. IF THE VIN SHOWS NEEDING REPLACEMENT, ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT OF A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING DEVICE. THERE NHTSA SHOULDN'T ALLOW ANY "PETITION OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY" WHEN IT COMES TO LIFE SAVING DECISIONS, TELL THE OEM TO REPLACE 100%, NO EXCEPTIONS.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A LETTER FOR REPAIR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE AND I AM GETTING CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY REPORTED. I DO NOT KNOW WHY IS TAKING TOO LONG TO FIX THE PROBLEM , I HAVE BEEN WORRIED THAT THE AIR BAG MIGHT EXPLODE BECAUSE OF WEATHER HEAT WE ARE HAVING IN MY AREA. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN THE PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED. THANKS.
