2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

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.

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.

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

"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.

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.
