DATE COMPLAINT FILED: 06/21/2016DATE OF INCIDENT: 05/07/2015COMPONENT(S): AIR BAGS , UNKNOWN OR OTHERNHTSA ID NUMBER: 10875605CONSUMER LOCATION: SHEPHERDSVILLE, KY ALL PRODUCTS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPLAINT EXPAND DETAILS CLOSE HELP 0 AVAILABLE DOCUMENTS CRASH:NO FIRE:NO NUMBER OF INJURIES:0 NUMBER OF DEATHS:0 MANUFACTURER: GENERAL MOTORS LLC VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NO. (VIN): 1GNSKBE03DR... SUMMARY: THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DECREASING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASH AND INCREASING THE RISK OF PLASTIC SHARDS BEING EJECTED AT THE PASSENGER DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A WELL DOCUMENTED DEFECT AFFECTING MULTIPLE MODELS AND YEARS THAT SHARE THE SAME DASHBOARD DESIGN. THE MANUFACTURER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFUSES TO VOLUNTARILY ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.

BOUGHT TRUCK USED WITH 22000 MILES ON IT AND WENT TO CHECK SPARE TIRE AREA AND FOUND THE FRAME HAD A LOT OF RUST WHERE THE UNDERCOAT HAD PEALED OFF. WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WOULD COST THEM ABOUT $1000 TO REPAIR AND WOULD COST ME $350 DUE TO THE WARRANTY WAS PAST THE 3 YEARS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A COOL MORNING (55 F) THE DRIVER SIDE DEFOGGED, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WOULD DEFOG. I TURNED THE TEMP WARMER AND THE AIRFLOW UP, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS STILL VERY SLOW TO DEFOG. THERE WAS VERY LOW AIRFLOW COMING FROM THE VENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AFTER THE TEMP/AIRFLOW WAS ADJUSTED TO A REASONABLE SETTING, THE PASSENGER SIDE SUDDENLY FOGGED UP AGAIN, IMMEDIATELY IMPEDING VISIBILITY OUT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE WINDSHIELD AND THE PASSENGER WINDOW, ALSO BLOCKING VISIBILITY OF THE PASSENGER MIRROR. WAS ADVISED BY DEALER THAT THE CAUSE WAS AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED SEAL ADJACENT TO THE HEATER CORE, BUT NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALL OR WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED, AS SUDDEN FOGGING AND LOSS OF VISIBILITY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD LIKELY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.

AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. CHEVROLET SERVICE ORIGINALLY SUSPECTED IT WAS THE AIR BAG MODULE AND WANTED TO REPLACE IT CHARGING $800.00. THEY WOULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. SINCE WE HAVE REPLACED THE AIR BAG MODULE TOOK THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN TO HAVE IT PROGRAMMED AND SERVICE STATED THAT THE NEW MODULE WOULD NOT ACCEPT PROGRAMMING AND THEY ARE STILL NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. LIGHT IS STILL ON, NO AIRBAGS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IS WRONG AND JUST WANT THE CONSUMER TO PAY FOR PARTS AND LABOR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT.

INTERIOR DASH HAS 2 CRACKS BY AIRBAG AND 1 LARGE CRACK IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LEAF SPRING FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER BECAME INOPERABLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED; HOWEVER, THE WINDSHIELD WIPER MODULE WAS REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

CRACKED DASH, THROUGH AND THROUGH, RESULTING IN A SHARP EDGE. THIS WAS A SPONTANEOUS CRACK. THERE WAS NO FORCE OR TRAUMA. IT JUST RANDOMLY APPEARED.
