2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

ELECTRONIC DEVICE BELOW DRIVERS SEAT CORRODED DUE TO ACOUSTICAL PAD RETAINING MOISTURE. AIR BAG LIGHT AND INSTRUMENT SAFETY ISSUE. ALREADY RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN, HOWEVER MY TRUCK VIN NOT LISTED.

THE ENTIRE UNDERBODY, INCLUDING ROCKERS, INNER DOOR PANEL FRAME, TAILGATE AREA, ENGINE BAY AREA, AND BRAKES, CONTROL ARMS, STRUTS IS RUSTED OVER.

CRACKED DASHBOARD BY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED WILL IT CAUSE THE DASH TO SHATTER CAUSING MORE INJURY. I HAD THE SAME CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE ON MY 201 3 TAHOE BUT I HAVE TRADED IT IN. IT SEEMS THAT THERE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CHEVROLET VEHICLES SIMILAR TO MINE.

TAKARA RECALL - I TOOK MY SILVERADO RO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP ( DAYS CHEVROLET IN ACWORTH, GA). THE TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT REPLACING THE AIRBAGS AND GAVE ME A 1800 NUMBER AND WEBSITE ABOUT THE RECALL. MEANWHILE HONDA HAS REPLACED THE AIRBAGS IN MY BROTHER AND FATHERS CARS. HOW CAN CHEVROLET REFUSE TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS WHICH COULD KILL ME OF MY PASSENGER IN A WRECK? PLEASE HELP AND MAKE GM FO THE RIGHT THING AND REPLACE MY AIRBAGS.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKIED, BREAKING, AND DETERIORATING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IN VARIOUS OTHER AREAS ALONG THE DASH. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT END COLLISION, PIECES OF THE FRACTURED DASH COULD BECOME POTENTIAL PROJECTILES CAUSING FURTHER INJURIES.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE LIFTERS IN THE 5.3 ENGINES ARE COMPLETELY TRASH. EVERYONE WHO HAS A SILVER WITH THE 5.3 HAS TO CHANGE LIFTERS OFTEN. MY LIFTERS HAS WENT OUT 2 TIMES IN THE LAST 5 MONTHS. THIS IS A BIG FLAW IN THE SILVERADO. I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 70 AN ALL OF THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE LIGHT STARTS FLASHING AND MY TRUCK STARTS TICKING AND MISSING REALLY BAD.

TAKATA INFLATOR. AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, AND THEN TRUCK WOULD NOT START. TOOK IT TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAID THE AIR BAG MODULATOR WAS CORRODED AND NEEDS REPLACED. THAT IS WHY IT WILL NOT START. THEN FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL ON AIR BAGS.
