2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

DASHBOARD CRACKING RIGHT IN FRONT OF DRIVER ON TOP OF SPEEDOMETER. THERE ARE 2 CRACKS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY, THE SHARP BROKEN PLASTIC, CAN BECOME SHRAPNEL, AND A SECONDARY DANGER FROM PUNCTURE WOUNDS. THIS VEHICLE IS A 2011, WELL CARED FOR AND HAS LESS THAN 18K MILES

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN TWO PLACES. CRACKS ARE APPROXIMATELY 2 INCHES IN LENGTH AND HAVE SHARP EDGES. CONCERNED SHARP EDGES COULD CAUSE NEGATIVE IMPACT DURING AN IMPACT THAT CAUSES AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

CRACKING ON THE DASHBOARD OF A VERY WELL KEPT LOW MILEAGE TRUCK. WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG AS WELL AS THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLE IN GENERAL. A SUNSHADE HAS BEEN USED SINCE DAY ONE AND THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN OFF-ROAD OR IN A POSITION TO WHERE THIS SHOULD HAPPEN. GM SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE AND FIX THIS PROBLEM. NOW A $49,000 TRUCK SEEMS VERY CHEAP AND AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TREE. THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RETRACT WITHOUT WARNING AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE EXHAUST FLUID LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST HEATER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V407000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

MY TRACTION STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY CHARGED ME $100.00 TO DIAGNOSE IT AND TAPE A SENSOR. A WEEK LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN, I LOOKED THIS ISSUE UP ON THE INTERNET AND EVERYBODY IS HAVING THESE PROBLEMS. WHY IS THIS NOT A SAFETY RECALL? I HAVE LESS THAN 46,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE, I SHOULD NOT BE HAVING THIS ISSUE. GM BETTER DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.

CRACKING DASH. HAS BEEN REPLACED TWO TIMES NOW. CRACKS HAVE OCCURRED IN THE SAME PLACES BOTH TIMES AND SIMILAR TO THE THOUSANDS OF PHOTOS ONLINE WHEN SEARCHING FOR GM CRACKED DASH OR A SIMILAR VARIANT. CRACKS EXPOSE MECHANICAL PARTS UNDER THE DASH AND ARE BRITTLE BUT VERY SHARP WHEN SEPARATED FROM THE DASH. DATE ENTERED WAS TODAY BUT INSTANCES STARTED IN 2011 AND THEN APPROX 1 YEAR AFTER THE FIRST REPLACEMENT. LAST REPLACEMENT TOOK PLACE IN MARCH OF 2016.

CRACKING PLASTIC DASH ON UPPER LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. SEEMS THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE SAME ISSUE.

ONE MORNING, MY DAUGHTER AND I WAS GETTING IN THE TRUCK SO I COULD DROP HER OFF AT SCHOOL. WE GOT ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AND STARTED HEARING A RATTLE. ONCE WE MADE IT TO A STOP SIGN, I LOOKED AROUND IN THE TRUCK AND FOUND THE PROBLEM. THERE ARE 2 CRACKS GOING DOWN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GAUGE CLUSTER ON THE DASH. AS WELL AS ANOTHER CRACK ON THE LEFT BACK CORNER OF THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH. I'M VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT MY TRUCK. I KEEP IT VERY CLEAN. I'VE NEVER PLACED ANYTHING ON THE DASH/WINDOW AREA TO CAUSE THE CRACKS. THAT MORNING IT WAS COLD OUT, PROBABLY AROUND 30 DEGREES. IT WAS VERY DISCOURAGING THAT WHEN I CALLED TO ASK ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT, (DURING THAT TIME, I STILL HAD MY WARRANTY FROM WHERE I HAD BOUGHT THE VEHICLE) I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVERED, AND WOULD NEED TO BE PAID OUT OF POCKET. I WAS RAISED AS A CHEVY MAN, I BELIEVE THEY MAKE AMAZING VEHICLES. FOR THIS NOT TO ALREADY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE TO HAD FIXED DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE IS OUTRAGEOUS. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE. SINCE THE ENTIRE CENTER DASH IS WEAK FROM BEING CRACKED ON EACH SIDE, I FEEL IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO FAIL IN THE FRONT OR EVEN WORSE IS INJURE WHO IS SITTING IN THE MIDDLE SEAT IN THE BACK. (DAUGHTER SITS IN THAT SPOT DUE TO AGE.) PLEASE, DO SOMETHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT'S CLEAR THAT IT'S A PROBLEM AND IT COULD POTENTIALLY SAVE A LIFE BY BEING PROACTIVE ABOUT THE SITUATION. CHEVY HAS ALWAYS BEEN DEPENDABLE, DON'T LET YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS DOWN.

I OWN A 2011 CHECK SILVERADO I CLEAN MY TRUCK REGULARLY AN TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT I HAVE LESS THEN 50,000 MILES ON IT. I FOUND A CRACK IN MY DASH RUNNING FROM THE CORNER OF MY PASSAGE AIRBAG. I FEEL THAT IT'S A BIG SAFETY HAZARD CONSIDERING IF SOMEONE CRASHES INTO ME AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS JAGGED CHUNKS OF DASH COULD POSSIBLY IMPALE MYSELF OR MY PREGNANT WIFE. I DID SOME RESEARCH AN SEEN THAT THOUSANDS OF CHEVY MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE OF MANUFACTORER NEGLIGENCE AN I FEEL THAT THIS IS ENOUGH OF A SAFETY HAZARD TO WHERE SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS.
