2010 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

Frame under truck bed totally rusted, cracked and broken in numerous locations. Gas Tank is hanging by a rusty thread! This problem should have been a recall. My $20k truck is now worth scrap value!!

I went to get the Takata recall done. I made an appointment at the dealer, and I showed up. After spending several hours of my day, the dealer told me the airbag was on back order and they even asked me if I actually want to get it done. The dealer informed me my dash would be broken after they finished the job. I told them the airbag is dangerous and it needed to get done. They told me they would order it and call me when it arrived and that has never happened. I called the NHTSA hot line and there was no service. The fact is this should have been recalled on November 15, 2015, but the NHTSA let GM postpone the recall endangering the public for over 7 years. The fact is the NHTSA covers for GM like they did with the ignition switch, the GMT800 Brake lines and a bunch of other situations. The NHTSA reports are also full of lies and misinformation. I don’t blame GM for not doing the recall because they never planned on it. I blame the NHTSA for covering for them and helping companies like GM in hiding defects. Now even if I get the recall done the vehicle will have one of the squibs disconnected because that is part of the GM recall instructions. They actually tell the technician to cut 1/2 of the airbag wires. The fact is this will make the air bag weaker.

Frame rust on my 2010 Silverado 1500 LT. Rear cross member is rusting through, rear shock Mounts are rusting off.

General Motors USA produced several years of vehicles with a faulty transmission control module (TCM). From 2008-25 Chevrolet and GMC trucks with the 6.6L Duramax engine and Allison 1000 transmission all used the same TCM; part 24256861. This part has experienced a very high failure rate. GM has put out Service Bulletins acknowledging this issue and has not made a recall. Safety concerns with the TCM are related to overheating. I have a 2010 Chev Duramax 2500 with that TCM; on July 16, 2022 my truck was taken in for repairs due to the failure of the TCM. For 14 months the truck has been down due to no new parts available from GM and no parts being manufactured in 2022. This has been a substantial impact to me as a consumer. There is a need for new improved parts for this long-standing faulty TCM issue. The lack of recall on this TCM is subjecting consumers to risks of overheating the transmission system as well as incalculable down-time impacts related to personal and business owned trucks. This problem of the faulty TCM on my truck was confirmed by the local auto repair shop I use as well as the local Chevrolet dealership in Delta, CO. The TCM, will long known problems acknowledged by GM, needs to be on a recall for consumer protection.
