Takata recall , was never contacted about the recall , also wheel hub assembly I have replaced them several times and I have yet to hear from anyone about this situation I don't think I will be buying a chevy any longer because of the rust on this truck and everything else that is wrong with it
My rear corner panels have completly rusted out. This started back in 2013. I went to 2 dealerships in the albany , ny area. They also said it was a known problem. Why isnt this recalled if 2 chevrolet dealerships have said this?
Engine burns through oil and always needs additional oil between oil changes. There is no signs of an oil leak nor is there any smoke. Also the frame of the truck is comepletely rusted.
My dashboard is cracking around passenger airbag and above odometer on the driver's side, a well known issue with gm vehicles. I am waiting for the day when my airbag deploys and I or a love one gets impaled with a piece of that defective plastic. Please help with this issue before somebody gets hurt.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact noticed that the dashboard was cracking. The contact was concerned of air bag deployment due to the crack. A dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The VIN was included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v383000 (air bags). The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
Multiple cracks in the dashboard in and around the passenger airbag and drivers side. Pieces become a hazard in the event of a collision as they could become projectiles. Dash cracks lead to loss of structural integrity of the dash system which may also impede the ability of the airbag to function. This problem has been well documented and reported by multitudes of consumers throughout the nation. Gm/chevrolet refuse to acknowledge that there is a manufacturing problem and refused to provide any support when contacted via phone. The loss of structural integrity also poses a hazard as the pieces vibrate and cause a distraction for the driver. My dash board was replaced at approx. 80000 miles due to the same issue in nearly the same location. This problem should warrant a recall and/or a streamlined avenue to repair the known defect. There also should be some requirement for engineering to review the design and remedy the situation fully.
My dashboard is cracking around airbag, a well known issue with gm vehicles. I waiting for the day when my airbag deploys and I get impaled with a piece of plastic. Please help with this issue.
Dash is cracking in multiple areas especially around airbag area on passenger side. This can potentially cause issues of airbag deploys.
Dashboard has cracked making it a safety concern from the air bags. This has happened over a period of one year. Now the total dashboard has completely cracked.
Frame beaming on the 2007 x tra cab classic truck. General motors campaign #pit3009j. The problem is so bad that it shakes the seat so violently that it is a health hazard to drive around. I have been driving my truck for two years now as my daily driver. The frame shakes so bad on the freeway that it has caused me back strains and neck pain when driving for over an hour. I have been to americas tire many times thinking it was a tire problem they have rebalanced the tires and even replaced the whole set with another brand with no improvement. After my recent mri from back pain I believe that driving this truck is fully to blame for my pain. Two years before I had a clean ct scan with just a slight disc bulge, now all my discs are smashed known as schmor'ls depressions caused from the repeated up and down beating on my spine from driving this silverado for the last two years up and down the california freeways. There are times it shakes so bad I feel I am going to loose control of the truck. I want general motors to know how serious of a problem this is, more than a shake it is beating people like me to death and is a serious health risk. I feel I have no choice but to contact an attorney for help.
The paint and clear coat on the top and hood are fading.
The dash board is cracked in multiple spots and has started to crack and fall into the mechanical components underneath. Has 6 or more cracks approximately 6-12 inches. It started with one crack and has continue to have more, happens while parked and driving.
Dash is cracked in three places. In case of an airbag deployment the dash could break into many piece acting like shrapnel. This needs to be a recall as gm knows of this issue. This issue has happened while the vehicle is in motion.
Dash is cracked in 2 places. One by passenger air bag and one in middle.
Cracked dashboard
The truck frame, bed and cab are completely covered with rust. Uncertain how long the framed will be safe in order to operate the vehicle.
The dash on my 2007 chevy silverado has cracked at the corner of passenger airbag and above instrument cluster. I'm concerned that these pieces of plastic will become projectiles if the airbag deploys.

The forward dash has contyto crack and break apartvat several areas including the passenger side airbag location. This is a know problem with gm and they only offer "goodwill" assistance for customers just outside the bumper to bumper warranty. Repairs cost over 1000.00 for this issue that can sometimes have to be done multiple times. Looking to finally getting this addressed and not swept under the rug.

Driving down the road and noticed a crack all of a sudden show up on my dash near the passenger air bag. Not exactly sure what time of day it was or exactly where or when it happened.
Have 3 cracks in dashboard. 2 above driver side instrument cluster, and 1 on passenger side next to passenger airbag. Had piece of dash break off and fall inside dashboard assembly. Gm only wants to compensate up to 20% to have this replaced. I believe that gm should be replacing these at their cost due to the number of complaints of this happening. Feel that this could be a safety issue if I were to get into a wreck, and pieces of the dashboard break off.
After short(90miles)trip to see family members, I noticed a crack on the passenger side of the dash connecting the 'air bag' panel. This raises great concern about the safety of passengers should there be a minor collision and pieces of the cracked dash impaling someone. Now the dash above the instrument cluster has cracked and this is very disturbing because this is at the level of the drivers face..
Has crack on dash around air bag, concerned about safety , plastic may become attached in air bag on deployment. Has crack on driver side near VIN, plastic my come shatter and injurer driver in a collision.
The dashboard in my vehicle has cracked, right behind the airbag. If the airbag were to deploy it is very likely that a piece of the broken dashboard could become a projectile inside the vehicle causing serious injury to the occupants. This is a known issue with gm vehicles containing this dashboard, including the gmc sierra, gmc yukon, chevrolet avalanche, chevrolet tahoe, and chevrolet suburban. Detailed photos of the cracked dashboards and gm's re-design can be found here: http://tahoe-cracked-dash.webs.com/ and here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/251892298253/ gm has offered no assistance to replace the defective component despite multiple complaints.
Selected adaptive equipment and suspension and body because there is no place to add tailgate and that is where he problem is - geez - that part makes no senese at all. *tr tailgate lock on riders side of vehicle does not engage properly. It has been replaced once and greased once at butch ostelete in pascagoula, ms. I called about repair but the person on the phone said they would have to charge me to repair it. The problem is you have to stick your finger in the lock pin and slide it upward to make it engage when the tailgate is closed. This has been on going since I have on the vehicle. It is a defect that could cause someone (like me) to injure their finger in the lock or jolt a persons wrist and elbows (like me) and cause harm. This defect needs to be called to gm attention and have these issues repaired.
Both rear fenders over tires are rusting thru the metal. It is not coming from the underside but thru the metal itself. Truck is well cared for, garaged, wash regular only 80,000, this seems to be a problem only with new body style 2007 gm trucks only. At this time this time gm is not willing to fix the problem.
The dashboard has cracked running from the corner of the passenger side airbag towards the windshield. This happened when the vehicle was parked and not in use. I am very concerned that a vehicle of this age has a defect such as this in the location that it does. I fear that in the event of an accident and deployment of the airbag, the already cracked plastic of the dashboard could become a dangerous projectile.
