I GOT OUT OF WORK AND THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SO IMMEDIATELY I TURNED IT OFF AND STARTED MY TRUCK AGAIN THINKING IT WAS JUST SOMETHING WEIRD THAT DIDN'T REGISTER RIGHT. IT HAS SENCE BEEN 3 DAY SO I LOOKED UP RECALLS ON MY TRUCK AND THE RECALLS WERE FOR MY 09 TRUCK BUT MY VIN DIDN'T QUITE MATCH THE "AFFECTED" VEHICLES. I WAS STATIONARY AND IT WAS SNOWING OUTSIDE. THE RECALL SAID THERE WAS AN ACOUSTIC PAD THAT PREVENTED THE SENSOR FROM WORKING CORRECTLY.

THE LOCKING MECHANISM BROKE ON ALL PASSENGER DOORS CAUSING PASSENGERS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE KEY-LESS ENTRY ONLY OPENS DRIVER AND RELEASE ON DOOR DOES SAME. DEALERSHIP STATED REQUIRED TO REPLACE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON ALL DOORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE BIG PROBLEM WITH SILVERADO TRUCKS

USING EXCESSIVE ENGINE OIL: 3 QTS. BETWEEN OIL CHANGES, DEALERSHIP SAYS ITS THE ENERGY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

CRACK IN DASH BOARD NEAT PASSENGER AIRBAG. MAY BREAK OFF DURING DEPLOYMENT AND CAUSE INJURY.

CRACKED DASHBOARD NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG. CAN PRESENT A HAZARD IF PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND THE DASHBOARD FAILS IN A WAY THAT CAN SEND BROKEN PIECES, INJURING THE PASSENGER MORE SEVERELY DURING A COLLISION.

CRACKSI N DASH AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG, CONCERNS ARE: FLYING SHRAPNEL DURING DEPLOYMENT

I HAVE COMPLAINTED OF EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION NUMEROUS TIMES TO MY DEALERSHIP SINCE DAY 1. 50K MILES THEY REPLACE THE OIL PUMP AND REBUILT THE LOWER PART OF THE MOTOR. 97K MILES I HAVE P0300 CODE WHICH IS A RAPID MISFIRE. THE TRUCK IMMEDIATELY LOST POWER AND BEGAN VIBRATING. THE #4 CYLINDER HAS NO COMPRESSION. NO WARRANTY, NOT SURE WHAT'S NEXT. NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
