2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

PAINT AROUND 3RD BRAKE LT. ON BACK OF CAB IS BUBBLING & STARTING TO CORRODE. THIS IS THE ONLY SPOT ON THE ENTIRE TRUCK WHERE THIS IS HAPPENING, IT IS PLAIN TO SEE THAT IT IS BEING CAUSED BY A DEFECT IN THE SEAL BETWEEN THE BRAKE LT. & THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. I AM NOT SURE WHEN THIS STARTED TO ERODE, BUT IN FEB. 2017 IS WHEN I TOOK MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICE IS WHEN I NOTICED HOW BAD THE PAINT WAS BUBBLING AROUND THE BRAKE LT.. FROM THE LOOKS OF THE DAMAGE & FROM WHAT THE BODY SHOP REPAIR PERSON STATED, THIS HAS BEEN ERODING FOR A MONTHS.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING DIRECTLY ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND TRAVELING TOWARDS THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND IS PROTECTED FROM HEAT BOTH AT HOME, AT WORK, AND WITH A VISOR. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT GM, THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS.

THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ON THE VEHICLE LEAKS BRAKE FLUID PAST THE REAR SEAL INTO THE VACUUM POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. THE FLUID WILL CAUSE THE DIAPHRAGM IN THE BOOSTER TO FAIL. THE ONLY WAY TO CHECK FOR A LEAK IS TO REMOVE THE VACUUM HOSE AND SEE IF IT IS WET OR TO CONTINUE TO ADD BRAKE FLUID UNTIL THE BOOSTER IS FULL OF FLUID AT WHICH A LEAK WILL BECOME VISIBLE.

MY 2010 SILVERADO 1500 DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY PARKED AT WORK. SITING OUTSIDE IN 73 DEGREE WEATHER. CAR WAS COOL ON INTERIOR AND A/C HAD BEEN USED PRIOR TO PARKING. GOT IN THE TRUCK. STARTED IT UP AND HEARD A SNAP AND THERE WAS THE CRACK.

5.3L ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION. ENGINE CONSUMES 3 TO 4 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES AND FOULS #7 SPARK PLUG CAUSING EXTREME LOSS OF POWER. OIL CONSUMPTION IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. DEALER CLAIMS IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN WARRANTY EXTENSION.

I'M WRITING ABOUT MY DASHBOARD CRACKING ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE A 2010 CHEVY CREW CAB AND I'M ON MY 3RD DASHBOARD FOR THIS TRUCK. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND ONLY HAVE 50,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK THAT IS IN LIKE NEW CONDITION. THIS IS DEFINITELY AND MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS DESIGN OF DASH AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO CHANGE OUT THE DASH AGAIN THIS WEEK BUT IT IS GOING TO COST ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR SOMETHING I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR. WHAT IS MY NEXT STEP FROM HERE?
