I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (VIN [XXX]). RECENTLY I HAD AN AIR BAG SERVICE WARNING WHICH WAS DEALER DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED SENSOR AND THE UNIT REPLACED. MY REVIEW OF THE FAILED PART SHOWED THE SAME DAMAGE AS THE FAILED SENSOR I HAD REPLACED LAST YEAR. THE DAMAGE INDICATES THE SENSOR CASES WERE CRACKED OPEN BY OVER TIGHTENING OF THE MOUNTING HARDWARE (REFER TO THE ATTACHED PHOTOGRAPH). THE SENSOR IS A HIGH VALUE PART (PART PLUS INSTALLATION $ 375) THAT HAS TO HAVE A HIGH RELIABILITY. THE CORROSION PRESENT AT THE CASE FAILURE MUST HAVE CAUSED THE DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM TO SHOW A FAULT. SINCE THIS IS CRITICAL PART, AN INSTALLATION TORQUE MUST HAVE BEEN DESIGNATED AND THE TORQUE EITHER WAS WRONG OR IMPROPERLY ADJUSTED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKED/CRACKING IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. I FIRST NOTICED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, BUT DID NOT KNOW OF THIS WEBSITE OR KNOW IT TO BE A NATIONWIDE ISSUE UNTIL READ ON NEWS TO REPORT IF HAPPENING TO A VEHICLE.

I HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO QUAD CAB LT(NEW BODY) OVER THE PAST 4 YEARS MY DASH HAS SLOWLY BEGAN TO CRACK IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THE ONE PLACES THAT WORRIES ME THE MOST IS I HAVE A 4 IN CRACK RIGHT ABOUT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME TO ME BECAUSE IT MAKES ME WONDER IF THIS WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY PREMATURELY. ALSO THERE IS MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE SO BAD THAT A PIECE THE SIZE OF A HALF DOLLAR CRACK OFF AND FELL INSIDE MY DASH SOMEWHERE. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WASN'T THERE PROBLEM. SINCE MAKING THIS COMPLAINT I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH WELL OVER 1,000 OTHER GM OWNERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T JUST AFFECT THE SILVERADO. IT ALSO AFFECTS THE YUKON, AVALANCHE, SIERRA AND TAHOE. I THINK THIS PROBLEM TRULY NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. IT TRULY IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

DRIVING SLOWLY UP TO A STOP SIGN COMING OUT OF THE TARGET STORE IN SHOREVIEW, MINNESOTA. THE ABS ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM ACTIVATED AND MADE THE TRUCK DIFFICULT TO STOP. THE VEHICLE WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN BUT DID NOT COLLIDE WITH ANY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. ACCORDING TO MANY OTHER INCIDENCES DESCRIBED ONLINE, THE EXACT SAME THING IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS. IN THE NORTHERN "SALT BELT", RUST AND CORROSION GATHERS AROUND THE FRONT BRAKE SENSORS AND PULLS THEM UPWARDS SENDING THE WRONG SIGNAL TO THE COMPUTER. THERE IS ALREADY A RECALL ON SOME CHEVROLET TRUCKS PRE-2005 FOR THE VERY SAME REASON. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND PREVENTABLE IF GM WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM ONCE AND FOR ALL.
