2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW FROM CREWS CHEVROET IN NORTH CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 12000 MILES. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO FOR NO APPARENT REASON I DISCOVERED A CRACK IN THE DASH NEAR THE PASSANGER AIR BAG. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CREWS CHEVROLET AND THE SERVICE PERSON STATED IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE SUN. I PURCHASED GM'S MAJOR GUARD EXTENDED PROTECTION AND EVENTHOUGH THE DASH IS NOT LISTED UNDER ITEMS NOT COVERED I WAS TOLD THE DASH IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I HAVE CONTACTED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED AGAIN ON 27 MAY 2017. THIS IS DEFINATELY A PRODUCT DEFECT OR MATERIAL DEFECT. I HAVE READ ON THE INTERNET ALL THE OTHER CRACKED DASH ISSUES WITH GM/CHEVROLET. AT WHAT POINT IS GM/CHEVROLET GOING TO ADMIT THIS IS A DEFECT AND CUSTOMERS WILL SEE A RECALL? THIS CRACK RUNS RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSANGER AIRBAG AND I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE LOCATION OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 83,000. UPDATED 07/11/17*LJ *AS

PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BETWEEN THE AIRBAG COVER AND THE FRONT OF THE DASHBOARD TOP PANEL. IT TURNS OUT THIS IS A PROBLEM OTHERS HAVE NOTICED ON THESE MODELS AS WELL. MY CONCERN IS THE PROXIMITY TO THE AIRBAG. OTHER OWNERS HAVE POSTED PHOTOS OF LARGER CRACKS AND HOLES IN THE DASHBOARD IN THIS LOCATION. I DON'T WANT IT TO CAUSE AN ISSUE WITH AIRBAG FUNCTIONALITY WERE THERE TO BE AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT EVENT. I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG THIS HAD BEEN CRACKED BUT IT WAS FIRST NOTICED BY MY WIFE ON 5/13/2017.

THE DASH ON MY 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 HAS CRACKED JUST ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. TO ME THIS POSES A SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THERE BE A COLLISION CAUSING THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY WHERE THE CRACK MAY PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, BEING PARKED JUST IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE WHEN THE CRACK OCCURRED.

THE DASH CRACKED ON MY 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 ON THE CORNER THAT SURROUNDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED STATIONARY OVER NIGHT.

THE DASH CRACKED AND GETTING WORSE ON THIS 40,000.00 TRUCK.THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT FROM MY INTERNET SEARCH.IT ONLY HAS 70,000 MILES,THE SUN CRACKED IT AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM COULD BE EFFECTED LATER.REDICULOUS,NEVER HAD A NEWER MODEL CRACK LIKE THIS,VERY CHEAP!THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY I THINK WHEN WIFE SPOTTED IT.THEY SHOULD FIX THIS MESS.

THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A LARGE SHARP CRACK IN IT ABOUT 9 INCHES LONG. THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT AND HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED. IT JUST APPEARED ONE DAY.

DASH CRACKED FROM CORNER OF PASSENGER AIR BAG TO CORNER OF DEFROST VENT. CONCERNED IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS DASH FRAGMENTS MAY CAUSE BODILY HARM. NOT SURE IF CRACKED FORMED DURING MOTION OR SITTING STATIONARY.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD .ONE CRACK IS DIRECTLY OVER MY INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND THE SECOND IS ON PASSENGER SIDE OFF THE LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG. THIS 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LTZ C1500 HAS ONLY 47,414 MILES ON IT. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT BY MANUFACTURER. I BABY THIS TRUCK AND KEEP IT COVERED UNDER MY CARPORT AT MY HOME. I DRIVE A COMPANY TRUCK ON WEEK DAYS AND MY TRUCK ON WEEKENDS. THESE TWO CRACKS HAPPENED WHILE TRUCK WAS SITTING STATIONARY UNDER MY CARPORT. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ,AND WILL MANUFACTURER REPLACE AT NO COST TO ME.

MY TRUCK HAS BEEN CONSUMING EXCESSIVE OIL. I HAVE USED THE SYNTHETIC OIL THAT IS SPECIFIED AND CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 5000 MILES. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY HAVE IDENTIFIED PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE BUT MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. I HAD TO SPEND ANOTHER $2,000 FOR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO COVER THE FUTURE FIXES THEY DESCRIBED. THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WHEN IT WAS IDENTIFIED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE NEVER BEEN TOLD OF THE ISSUE UNTIL I COMPLAINED TO A CHEVY DEALER. THEY KNOW IT EXISTS YET THEY TRY TO FIX IT WITH A BAND-AIDE TYPE SOLUTION. IN THE END I HAD TO SPEND $2,000 TO COVER A PROBLEM THEY KNEW EXISTED YET DID NOT LET ME KNOW SO I COULD BRING IT IN BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. NOW I AM TOLD I HAVE TO ENDURE AN OIL CONSUMPTION TEST REQUIRING ME TO DRIVE 45 MINUTES TO THE DEALER, WAIT FOR MY TEST AND RETURN AGAIN. THEN THEY EXPERIMENT WITH THREE DIFFERENT THINGS THAT MIGHT FIX IT BEFORE THEY REPLACE THE ENGINE COSTING ME TIME, MONEY AND INCONVENIENCE. AS I TYPE THIS I HAVE TO ENDURE THE CHEVY TRUCK COMMERCIAL THAT SAYS THEY ARE THE BEST BUILT, LONGEST LASTING TRUCK. I AM DISAPPOINTED AND FRUSTRATED. I SHOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS PROBLEM LONG AGO.
