2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

I HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO GET THE TAKATA AIR BAG REPLACED IN MY VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER REFUSES TO DO IT.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND HAVE SEEN NOTICES REGARDING PROBLEMS WITH THE TYPE OF AIR BAGS IT HAS FOR YEARS BUT UNABLE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM ADDRESSED. OTHERS I KNOW WITH THE SAME AIRBAGS HAVE HAD THEM SUCCESSFULLY REPLACED BY THE DEALER OF THEIR VEHICLES, SUCH AS HONDA AND NISSAN, ETC. IT MAKES NO SENSE THAT AN AMERICAN MANUFACTURER KEEPS OBTAINING EXCEPTIONS AND WAIVERS TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM VERY CONCERNED AS I LIVE IN A HIGH HEAT, HIGH HUMIDITY AREA, FLORIDA, WHICH IS SAID TO EXACERBATE THE PROBLEM. IT IMPERATIVE THE AIRBAGS BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE ADVISE REGARDING HOW THIS CAN BE ACHIEVED. *TR

DASHBOARD PRESENTS MULTIPLE CRACKS BY AIRBAG IN PASSENGER SIDE AND BY THE IDLE AREA. LINES ARE SIMILAR TO MANY REPORTED IN 2018 LAWSUIT. CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY IN CASE AIRBAG BREAKS FRAGILE DASHBOARD AND THIS INJURES MY FAMILY. *TR

FREQUENTLY WHEN DRIVING TRUCK WILL DO SOME OR ALL OF THE FOLLOWING THINGS, DOOR LOCKS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING, DASH LIGHTS FLASHING, STEREO COMING ON AND OFF, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL TURNS OFF, ALL LIGHTS, EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR, TURN OFF AND ON SOMETIMES STAYING OFF LONG ENOUGH AT NIGHT WILL SCARE YOU, TRUCK SPEEDS UP BUT THEN SOMETIMES LOSING POWER. ALL OF THOSE THINGS HAPPEN WHEN THE TRUCK IS IN MOTION. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY EVERY DAY WHICH IS BAD WHEN TRUCK DOES THESE THINGS. NOT A SAFE SITUATION FOR ME. THEN SOMETIMES WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF YOU HEAR A LOUD CLICKING NOISE. IF YOU DO NOTHING BATTERY WILL BE DEAD WHEN YOU TRY TO START IT NEXT TIME. I CAN GET IT TO STOP THE CLICKING BY RAISING HOOD I AND TAPPING ON POSITIVE BATTERY CAN I LET OR THE MEGA FUSE THAT IS ON THE FIREWALL. CHEVROLET HAS RECALLED THE 2008 TRUCKS FOR SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THIS. I *TR

THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED AND COULD HURT SOMEONE IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY. THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 2009 SILVERADO. ALSO, THE LIFTERS ARE VERY BAD AND WILL STOP WORKING IF THE AFM ISN'T TURNED OFF. I THOUGHT MY ENGIE WAS DEAD WHEN GOING 70 AND THE LIFTER GO OUT. LOST ALL POWER AND HAD TO TOW IT TO A SHOP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE.

I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAVE A RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG IN MY 2009 SILVERADO 1500 AS OF MAY 27, 2016. AS OF YET GM IS SAYING NO REMEDY BUT IN THE MEANTIME I AM DRIVING AN UNSAFE TRUCK BECAUSE I LIVE IN FLORIDA IN HOT HUMID WEATHER AND THAT IS THE FACTOR THAT EFFECTS THE AIRBAGS! THIS IS A ONE OWNER VEHICLE THAT I PURCHASED AS NEW AND I BELIEVE $ YEARS IS LONG ENOUGH TO FIND A REMEDY! *TR

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED THE ROBBINS CHEVROLET 18611 EASTEX FWY, HUMBLE, TX 77338, (281) 973-7523) AND IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

GOT A SAFETY RECALL IN JULY OF 2016 ABOUT THE TAKATA AIR BAGS.AS OF THIS DATE 03/14/2020 NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PART.

THE WARNING SCREEN SHOWS: ENGINE HOT/ AC TURNED OFF, I HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR. IT WAS THE TEST DETECTED. IT WORKED ABOUT 3 MONTHS. LATER A TECH. TOLL ME, JUST RESET THE SYSTEM BY DISCONNECTING A BATTERY POLE, WORKS FOR A WHILE. 2 WEEKS AGO I REPLACED AGAIN THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR, AND AND THE THERMOSTAT. I WORKED FOR 12 DAYS , AND NOW I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT, EVEN WHEN I RESET THE IT IT WORKS FOR NOT MORE THAN 10 MINUTES, AND THE " ENGINE HOT/ AC OFF SHOWS AGAIN.

THIS IS A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE CRACKS ON MY DASH AROUND THE AIR BAG. OVER THE PAST MONTH THEY HAVE GROWN AND GOTTEN WORSE, ONE IS HUGE (ABOUT 7 INCHES LONG) AND THERE'S TWO MORE PIECES IN THE CORNER ABOUT TO FALL OUT AND ONE NEAR THE RADIO. I WOULD JUST LIKE GM TO PUT A NEW DASH IN FOR FREE SO I CAN COVER IT WITH A CARPET DASH AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT. THANKS
