2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

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.

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

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.
