2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY DASH HAS CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES AT DIFFERENT TIMES. IT IS UNKNOWN TO ME WHAT CAUSED THE FIRST TWO CRACKS, BUT THE MOST RECENT OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE, BUT ALSO WORRIES ME THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, IT MAY AFFECT THE AIRBAGS OR EVEN PROJECT PIECES OF THE DASH TOWARDS ANYONE IN THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE YEARS AGO, RECALL #49151. I'VE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER ENOUGH TIMES THAT THEY KNOW ME AND KNOW WHY I'M CALLING AND HAVE BEEN VERY NICE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT HE NEEDS PART # 2049151 TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT HE SAYS THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. PLEASE HELP. THANKS

UPON DRIVING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL MESSAGES. THE TRUCK HAD MINIMAL POWER WHEN STEPPING ON GAS AND TRUCK WOULD JERK. WHEN IDLING ENGINE IS LOUD AND SHAKES.

THIS AIR BAG RECALL STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AFTER GREATER THAN THREE YEARS. WHY ARE WE STILL ALLOWING CARS WITH TAKATA AIR BAGS TO BE SOLD IN THIS COUNTRY WHE THEY HAVE NOT RESOLVED ISSUES WITH THOUSANDS OF CARS ALREADY ON THE ROAD? ARE YOU WAITING ON A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CITIZENS TO BE INJURED BEFORE TAKING ANY FURTHER ACTION?

STABILTRAK WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. SHORTLY THEREAFTER AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRIC POWER STEERING PROBLEM AROSE, FOUND IT DIFFICULT TO STEER VEHICLE. OBVIOUS STEERING ASSIST FAILURE DURING A DROP IN VOLTAGE, AND THEN RETURN, WHICH CREATES UNMANAGEABLE AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE, RANDOM SURGES OCCURRING. CONTACTED GM FOR POSSIBLE RECALL? NON-EXISTENT. WE ARE FACED WITH A HUGE AUTO REPAIR BILL.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS PROMPTING ME TO THINK THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL. MY 2011 SILVERADO HAS LESS THAN 100,00 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING NOISES, THEN IT STOPPED. PRIOR TO THAT NOTHING WAS INDICATED AS GOING WRONG. ONE MONTH LATER, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT MOVE INTO GEARS. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE THAT I AM GETTING OUT OF IT.ALSO THE INTERIOR IS DETERIORATING. MY RADIO DIALS AND HEAT/AIR CONTROL BUTTONS ARE FADED. THE STEERING WHEEL IS PEELING. I EVEN BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY POWER WINDOW WENT OUT, FIXED BY WARRANTY. THIS TRUCK HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS AND I AM SEEKING SOME ANSWERS AND ASSISTING IN CORRECTING THESE PROBLEMS.

MAY 27,2011 GM ANNOUCED A RECALL OF THE PASSEGER SIDE AIR BAG ON MY TRUCK. RECALL # 16V381. NOW THE DEALER TELLS ME GM IS ASKING Y'ALL TO ALLOW THEM CANCEL THIS RECALL. ARE WE THE CONSUMER EXPECTED TO JUST WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED WHEN ONE OF THESE DEFECTIVE INFLATORS RUPURES?? AND THEN GM MIGHT DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. GM NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE. LETS GET THESE FIXED BEFORE MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ESLE GETS KILLED.

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA NUMBER 16V381. MAY 2016. I AM TOLD THAT GM FILED A NOTICE OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY REGARDING THIS RECALL IN AUGUST 2017, ROUGHLY 17 MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE THE NEXT STEP IS FOR NHTSA TO ACCEPT OR DENY GM'S POSITION. WHEN SHOULD NHTSA'S RESPONSE BE EXPECTED?
