2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

TAKATA AIRBAG. GOT RECALL LETTER FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND CALLED GM. GM INFORMED ME THAT THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THIS AIRBAG A PROBLEM AND AT THIS TIME THEY HAVE NO PLANS TO FIX THE ISSUE! I WASN'T HAPPY WITH THEIR ANSWER SO I CALLED NHTSA FOR THEIR OPINION. I GAVE THE PERSON AT NHTSA THE RECALL NUMBER AND VIN NUMBER AND I WAS INFORMED THAT I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS FIXED.. WHO IS CORRECT IN THIS ISSUE? IS GM WAITING UNTIL UNTIL THE BODY COUNT IS SO HIGH THEY CAN'T IGNORE THE ISSUE?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE AIR BAGS; HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEGAN TO FLASH AND THE MESSAGE "SERVICE AIR BAG" CAME ON BOTH WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING, ALSO WHEN FIRST STARTING VEHICLE AND DRIVING. THE LIGHT WOULD COME OFF AND ON OR STAY ON FOR A DAY OR TWO. TOOK VEHICLE INTO AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO "READ THE MODULES". THEN TOOK VEHICLE INTO CHEVROLET DEALER REPAIR SHOP. THE FIRST TIME THEY REPAIRED THE CLOCK SPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL. AIR BAG LIGHT AND MESSAGE STAYED OFF FOR LESS THAN 24 HOURS. CURRENTLY WORKING WITH DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND FIX PROBLEM. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY OF AIR BAG AND WHETHER THEY ARE GOING TO PROTECT MY FAMILY IF NEEDED.

I ENTERED MY TRUCK AND FOUND A CRACK IN MY DASH RUNNING FROM THE VENTS ALL THE WAY OVER MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE NEXT DAY, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON TELLING ME THEY NEEDED SERVICING. YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING OVER SOME POT HOLES IN A ROAD AND A BIG CHUNK OF MY DASH CRACKED AND JUMPED OUT ONTO MY DASH. AFTER GETTING HOME, I SEE THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK ON MY DASH. BEFORE CALLING A DEALER, SEARCHED TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON. I FOUND THE CRACK AND THE SENSOR WERE RELATED AND OTHER HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND NO RECALL YET. WHAT?? THAT CHUNK THAT FLEW OUT IS AS SHARP AS A RAZOR. IT COULD HAVE CUT ME OR LANDED IN MY EYE CAUSING INJURY. HOW CAN I DRIVE THE CAR KNOWING THE WHOLE DASH COULD SHATTER AT ANY TIME? I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND FIXED BY GM!!

TAKATA RECALL SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON AND MY VEHICLE IS LISTED AS HAVING TAKATA AIRBAGS. HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT DON'T FEEL LIKE GETTING KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE CHEVY DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH CHEVY AND NOT ME SHOULD TAKE CARE OF.

THE TRUCK FRAME, BED AND CAB ARE COMPLETELY COVERED WITH RUST. UNCERTAIN HOW LONG THE FRAMED WILL BE SAFE IN ORDER TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE.
