2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AT THE TOP LEFT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS WAS NOTICED THE OTHER DAY WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE IS VERY WELL CARED FOR.

THE FUSE RELAY BLOCK ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES NEARLY CAUGHT FIRE WHEN THE REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER AND HEATED MIRRORS WOULD NOT TURN OFF EVEN WITH THE KEY REMOVED. THE PROBLEM WAS TRACED TO A BAD GROUND ON CIRCUIT G200, THIS IS PART OF THE SWITCH CIRCUIT THAT CONTROLS THE MIRRORS AND DEFROSTER. GM HAS DESIGNED A CIRCUIT THAT HAS THE ABILITY TO TURN ITSELF ON EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS OFF AND THE KEY REMOVED! BUT EVEN WORSE GM REFUSES TO PAY FOR THE PARTS OR LABOR TO REPAIR MY TRUCK. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WHILE INITIALLY ENCOURAGING GM HAS REFUSED TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. HOWARD THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT GM COULDN'T DISCLOSE TO ME THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIAL HELP THEY OFFERED THE DEALERSHIP, IT TURNS OUT THEY DIDN'T OFFER ANY HELP AT ALL. I'M NOT SURE I WILL BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AFTER THIS EXPERIENCE.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ALONG THE TOP BY THE AIRBAG. DASHBOARD ALSO HAD DEVELOPED A LARGE CRACK ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BY THE BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THESE CRACKS HAVE BEEN DEVELOPING OVER THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS.

ON BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVERS SIDE, THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED. ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THE CRACK IS LOCATED NEAR THE AIRBAG AND IN THE MIDDLE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE NEAR THE HUMP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STITCHING ON THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE SEAT WAS ROTTED AND CAUSED THE AIR BAG IN THE SEAT TO BULGE OUT WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAT COVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN DUE TO THE AIR BAG POSSIBLY DEPLOYING INDEPENDENTLY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 86,000. UPDATED 06/15/16*LJ UPDATED 06/20/16.*JB

2011 CHEVY SILVERADO LT WITH A CRACKED DASH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND BY THE AIRBAG. ALWAYS HAVE A SUN SCREEN OVER DASH DURING THE DAY AND IN THE GARAGE WHEN AT HOME.

DASHBOARD AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG IS SPLITTING AS MANY OTHER ARE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE STRESS ON THE DASH FROM ABRUPT AIRBAG INFLATION, PLASTIC COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 AND THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I HAVE TAKEN THIS TO MY GM DEALER AND THE SERVICE MANAGER TOOK PHOTOS AND TOLD ME THAT HE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BUT HAS NOT. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO TRY AND GET HIM TO HELP ME WITH GETTING THIS REPAIRED THROUGH GM AND HE SHOWS NO CONCERN. VEHICLE HAS SUSTAINED TO IMPACT THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND TOP LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG HAVE NOT YET GONE TO THE DEALER BUT AFTER READING THE MANY COMPLAINTS I'M WILL GET LINE WITH THE OTHER LOYAL CHEVROLET CUSTOMERS AND WAIT FOR A ANSWER

MYSELF AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS DASH'S ARE CRACKING RANDOMLY IN OUR CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICKUPS. MINE IS CRACKED JUST TO THE UPPER LEFT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED AN ISSUE HAVE OFFERED TO PAY $590 TOWARDS THE REPAIR. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THAT AND THERE ARE SEVERAL OTHER THOUSAND PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME RESULTS OR WORSE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE GM BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS AS I BELIEVE THIS IS AN SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYING IN AN EMERGENCY. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH SEVERAL THOUSAND MEMBERS DEDICATED TO THIS MATTER IT IS NAMED "07-13 GM CRACKED DASH SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL TRUCKS"
