2011 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

THIS RECALL CAME OUT IN MAY 2016. NOW FORD / MAZDA HAS ISSUED A DO NOT DRIVE UNTIL REPAIRED WITH REPAIRS AVAILABLE. BUT STILL NO REMEDY FROM GM FOR THIS? THEY HAVE BUILT HOW MANY MORE MODEL YEAR TRUCKS AND HOW MANY TRUCKS SINCE 2011. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND THE TEMPERATURES HERE REACH 100* IN THE SUMMERS. THERE IS NO REASON FOR A REPAIR NOT TO BE AVAILABLE FOR THIS AFTER THIS LENGTH OF TIME. HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO POSSIBLY BE KILLED BEFORE THIS IS RESOLVED. THERE NEEDS TO BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS. GM IS NOT TAKING CARE OF THEIR CONSUMERS. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS BEFORE AND NO RESPONSE OTHER THAN NO REMEDY YET. NOT ACCEPTABLE. IF AN AIRBAG CAN EXPLODE AND KILL SOMEONE THAN IT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED NOW.

THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG. THERE ARE THREE CRACKS AROUND THE AIRBAG AS OF TODAY.

TAKATA RECALL WE HAVE HAD A PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL SINCE MAY OF 2016. IT STATES THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY 2 YEARS LATER! VERY DISHEARTENING AS THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE.

RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING, WARNING BELLS & LIGHTS FLASH, MESSAGE IN DIC STATE SERVICE STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES DEAD, A/C QUITS COOLING & RADIO QUITS. IF THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE DRIVABLE. AS SOON AS YOU STOP OR ARE STOPPED WHEN IT OCCURS, THE TRANSMISSION STOPS WORKING. THE ENGINE CONTINUES TO RUN, AND CAN BE REVVED HOWEVER THE VEHICLE WILL NOT MOVE. AFTER TURNING OFF THE IGNITION, OPENING THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND WAITING A COUPLE OF MINUTES, YOU CAN RESTART THE ENGINE, THE GAUGES AND TRANSMISSION WILL ONCE AGAIN OPERATE. IT HAS NOW STARTED TO PERIODICALLY CAUSE THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT AND DRIVER'S DOOR LOCK TO NOT FUNCTION AS WELL.

TAKATA RECALL. AFTER BEING IN TOUCH ONCE AGAIN WITH CARL BLACK ORLANDO FLORIDA WE ARE STILL TOLD THAT THERE IS NO SOLUTION FOR REPLACEMENT OF TAKATA AIRBAG. WE HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT THE LAST ONE BEING 11/30/2017. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A REPLACEMENT? CARL BLACK REPRESENTATIVE TOLD US OUR VEHICLE IS "SAFE".

TAKATA RECALL - MY TRUCK'S AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED 05/27/2016 AND I HAVE TRIED TO HAVE SELMAN CHEVROLET, WHO SOLD ME THE TRUCK, CHECK AND REPLACE THE AIRBAGS BUT THEY KEEP GIVING ME A RUN AROUND AND THEY CLAIM THEY DO NOT HAVE BAGS FOR REPLACEMENT. TAKATA HAS FOUND THAT THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES AND THE BAGS MAY RUPTURE, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY. HOWEVER, I AM EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING MY TRUCK AND RISK DEATH OR INJURY! SELMAN CHEVROLET IN ORANGE, CA DOES NOT CARE AND IN EFFECT - REFUSES TO DO THE SAFETY RECALL!.

TAKATA RECALL LACK OF INFORMATION IS ASTOUNDING, WEB SITE AND PHONE NUMBER ARE A LOOP, REFER TO EACH OTHER AND OFFER NO SPECIFICS. DEALER SAYS 'PARTS NOT AVAILABLE' FOUND INFO GM WAS CONDUCTING 'STUDY' BUT NO INFO OF NHTSA ACTIONS RE THIS STUDY. I'M IN ATLANTA AND A K2500HD DON'T FIT IN A GARAGE! CAN'T GET MUCH MORE HEAT AND HUMIDITY EXPOSURE THAN HERE!

BATTERY NEEDED TO BE JUMPED OFF. JUMPED OFF BATTERY AND THEN DECIDED TO GO AND PURCHASE A NEW ONE. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH, FLAMES AND SMOKE STARTED COMING UP OVER HOOD. PULLED OVER, PARKED AND JUMPED OUT AND STARTED THROWING ITEMS OUT OF VEHICLE. CALLED 911, BUT BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED, THE TRUCK WAS TOTALLY ENGULFED. IT IS A COMPLETE LOSS.
