2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 UNKNOWN OR OTHER

TAKATA RECALL MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES NEAR THE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS UP THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH THE CRACKS BREING SO CLOSE TO WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED, BUT THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.

CRACKING DASH IN CORNERS OF AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DASH WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND NOW THE REPLACEMENT DASH HAS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOTS. I HAVE CONCERNS OF AIRBAG SAFETY.

MY DASH WAS REPLACED AT 63000 MILES BECAUSE IT CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIRBAG. NOW IT'S CRACKED AGAIN BY THE AIRBAG IN 2 PLACES THIS TIME. I TOOK IT BACK TO HENDRICK CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF THE 12 MONTHS 12000 MILE WARRANTY. I WOULD HAVE TO CALL CHEVROLET. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND TALKED TO A NICE LADY WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO A SENIOR ADVISOR WHO L EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND CONCERN OVER SAFETY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE TOOK A SECOND AND THEY HAVE DONE TESTING AND THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. THEN SHE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND CAME BACK WITH THE CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY 100 % TO FIX BECAUSE IT'S COSMETIC. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A HUGE PROBLEM EVERYWHERE. FOR MINE TO CRACK FOR THE 2ND TIME WITHIN 28000 MILES IS UNCALLED FOR. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING OR FIX THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE THERE GOING CHEAP AND TAKE A CHANCE. WE THE CUSTOMERS NEED ANY HELP WE CAN GET FOR CHEVROLET TO OWN UP TO THIS FLAW IN DESIGN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

"TAKATA RECALL" DASH BOARD CRACKED . MAJOR CRACKS THROUGH OUT. CONCERNS ABOUT FLYING DEBRIS IF EVER THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY.

THE DASH PANELS ON THE TOP OF THE DASH BOARD HAVE COMPLETELY BROKEN I FEEL THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. PIECES OF THE DASH COULD POSSIBLY BECOME A HAZARD AND INJURE MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY CHEVROLET VEHICLES

THE LOCKING MECHANISM BROKE ON ALL PASSENGER DOORS CAUSING PASSENGERS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE KEY-LESS ENTRY ONLY OPENS DRIVER AND RELEASE ON DOOR DOES SAME. DEALERSHIP STATED REQUIRED TO REPLACE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON ALL DOORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE BIG PROBLEM WITH SILVERADO TRUCKS

DASHBOARD IS STARTING TO CRACK AROUND AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND SPLITTING ACROSS TO CENTER OF DASH. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS COULD SEND SHARP OBJECTS FLYING INTO TRUCK CAB OR POSSIBLY PUNCTURE AIRBAG AS IT DEPLOYS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS TRUCK AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS.00, 2009 ##

A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE DETAILING THE INTERIOR OF MY TRUCK, L NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH WHERE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS DEPLOY. I ONLY HAVE 69,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DELERSHIP & THE ADVISED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY & NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, L JUST RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE OF THE DETERIORATING AIRBAG RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I'M FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR FEAR OF DASH PIECES & EARLY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED YESTERDAY & L WAS ADVISED BY PAUL, A SERVICE WRITER, THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I ASKED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TAKATA INFLATORS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED & L OR PASSENGER WAS KILLED OR HURT? MY RESPONSE WAS THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

DASH BOARD HAS CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG

CRACK DEVELOPED IN DASH AT APP 50K MILES NEXT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG. CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO EXPAND SINCE.

CRACKING IDENTIFIED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE DASH OF THE TRUCK.

MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION BURNED 4QTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES TRUCK HAS THE 5.3L V8 NOT TO IMPRESSED DUE TO THE FACT IT ONLY HAS 75000 MILES ON IT

WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IMPACT SENSOR WAS BAD. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT. HERE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE GM IS USING A DEFECTIVE PART. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. COSTING ME $330 FOR REPAIR. CAN YOU CHECK INTO THIS ?

DASHBOARD ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS CRACKED , IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS PLASTIC FROM DASHBOARD WILL BREAK& BECOME AIRBORNE---- EYE AND FACE SAFETY HAZARD. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH BETTER QUALITY MATERIAL. GUESS IT IS CHEAPER TO REPLACE AN EYE THAN A CRACKED DASHBOARD.

WALKED OUT TO MY TRUCK TODAY TO FIND THE DASH WAS CRACKED RIGHT BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHILE THIS DOES NOT BOTHER ME THE FACT THAT IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS DOES. SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC COULD EASILY FLY ABOUT THE CABIN IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE PLASTIC IS CHEAP AND THIN AND FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IT WOULD INCLUDE JUST ABOUT EVERY GM TRUCK MADE SINCE 2007.

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM AND TRACTION CONTROL SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN AND ENGINE POWER WAS SERIOUSLY REDUCED. 8BF UPDATED 04/17/14*LJ UPDATED 8/22/2017 *CN
