2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Complaints

Odometer Fraud. The contact purchased a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 at an auction. The contact stated that although the odometer indicated 89,671 miles at the time of purchase, there was a mileage discrepancy discovered during the vehicle registration. The title was marked exempt; there was no official documentation verifying the actual mileage. The discrepancy was attributed to an inoperable odometer or due to the condition of the frame of the vehicle.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 equipped with Bridgestone Tires, Tire line: Dueler A/T Revo 3, Tire size: LT265/75/R16, DOT Number: 9BW8 RE3. The contact stated that the tires were purchased in California. The vehicle was driven back home to Idaho, where the TPMS alarm sounded. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for an oil change and the vehicle was inspected, and the contact was informed that the rear tire was flagged and was informed that the tire needed to be removed. The tire was not removed. The contact notified the manufacturer, and the contact was referred to a Firestone location for an inspection. The manufacturer was informed that there were no Firestone locations nearby. The manufacturer approved the contact to take the vehicle to a Commercial Tire shop for an inspection. The vehicle was taken to the Commercial Tire Shop, and the contact was informed that all four tires were dangerous and needed to be replaced. The tread on the rear passenger’s tire was worn, the sidewalls of another tire were falling apart, and the tread and sidewalls on the other tires were separating. All four tires were replaced. The manufacturer was notified that the tires were replaced, and a claim was filed. The vehicle failure mileage was 169,508.

The truck randomly shuts off whether just running or driving, the fuel pump fuse blows, as long as we switch the fuses it starts right up and runs again, sometimes it happens several times a day, other times it doesn't happen for a week or two. When driving it shuts down without warning and lose of everything.

I had my truck serviced for the airbag recall in 2021 at Clint Newell auto in Roseburg Oregon, they did not have a necessary part to complete the job at the moment and I had moved out of town by the time they got it in. I just today brought it in and they said they did the second half of the recall but the component was not communicating. I was informed they would charge me to investigate why. I am writing to complain and seek resources. I cant afford to have the airbag problem investigated especially since it is likely their fault/negligence. The airbag light remains on and it is still a danger to me, also they were super rude and disorganized. Please help

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE BY THE AIR BAG AND ANOTHER ON THE LEFT SIDE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM.

VEHICLE'S AIRBAG RECALLED IN 2016 9GM 49152). I CALLED DEALER- WIN KELLY- IN JULY, 2017 . KATHY SAID "NO UFLORIANREASONABLE DANGER' .. BE SAFE. GM SOLUTION BY AUGUST. CALLED NHTSA ON 9/12/17 TOOK COMPLAINT # 11022868. GOT A FILLED OUR COMPLAINT FORM 100148 NOTING MANUFACTURER "PARTS NOT AVAILABLE". !2/27/2020 SAME STORY.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS INCLUDING THE AIRBAG SURROUND. SHARDS OF THE DASH HAVE NOW BEGUN TO BREAK OFF - CLEAR INDICATION OF AN UNSAFE CONDITION. SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY SHARDS OF THE SHATTERING DASH COULD RUPTURE THE AIRBAG OR WORSE STRIKE AND IMPALE THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION. I AM IN THE AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE BUSINESS AND THE FAA AND NTSB WOULD NEVER ALLOW SUCH AN OBVIOUS HAZARD IN AN AIRCRAFT. MY DASH STARTED CRACKING YEARS AGO AND DESPITE STOP DRILLING THE CRACKS AS WE DO IN AIRCRAFT MAINTENANCE ON LEXAN TRANSPARENCIES THE CHEAP PLASTIC THE DASH IS MADE FROM CONTINUES TO PROPAGATE NEW AND BIGGER CRACKS. ATTEMPTS TO USE A PLASTIC WELDING REPAIR KIT ALSO FAILED. A RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION IS WAY PAST DUE.

MY DASHBOARD IS COMPLETELY BROKEN BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG ALSO COMPLETELY BROKEN BY THE DRIVERS CLUSTER EXPOSING WIRES AND OTHER MECHANICAL STUFF

THIS IS A 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO HD Z71 4X4 WELL TAKEN CARE OF. AND THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO LIMP MODE ON FAST STOPS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF A LOAD IS ON BOARD AND IT GOES INTO LIMP MODE THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS FOR ALL BEHIND THE VEHICLE AND AROUND. WHICH COULD BE A THREAT TO ALL UNEXPECTEDLY CAUSING UNDUE HARM TO OTHER WHILE IN CONTROL OF THIS VEHICLE. AND VEHICLE SENDS OUT A CODE. *TR
