2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 body complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 19 of 19, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Entire frame of the truck is rusting away. Some areas is surface rust after the undercoating has just slow peaked away. There is some areas that the rust is so bad I am worried that it will soon or later give and break. I have looked into this online and there is thousands and thousands of complaints out there but gm is not doing anything about this issue.. I finally got a notice after 7 years of complaining about my transmission lines leaking at the crimp.. This is a very well know issue on many of the gm vehicles and has caused many accidents in the past. I would like to seen gm forced to pressed to do something about this because it is a safety factor that could cause a bad accident.
The dash is cracking on all 2007 up models of silverado and tahoe. I had sliced my finger when reaching for my phone is how I found out. The issue is the sharp edges are right next to air bag. So now I am worried that if I do get into accident either the air bag will get punctured and or shards of razor sharp dash are you to cut me and possibly be very severe. Please just do a google search online and you will find thousands of these type issues with the dash. Please help the dealer is not doing anything for many people and now my wife is worried to even drive in truck that I cannot replace at this time.
My dashboard cracked at the corner of the air bag and appears there may be an issue with flying projectiles of plastic if the air ever deploys.
Chrome plating/paint on interior door handle lacerated left hand.

Bought 2500 hd crew cab silverado, 2008. Researched known problems online with door actuators. Apparently they begin to fail with less than 5000 miles on certain trucks. I see this as a safety hazard and a security problem. In case of a crash the locks on the rear doors will not work and must be unlocked manually which may be impossible depending on the damage, the manual locks are on the farthest point back from the driver which makes them very hard to reach from the front of the truck. They also do not lock when the key fob or electric lock button is pushed in the truck, must be locked manually. This problem is extremely well known and gm refuses to recall this item even though it is a clear safety risk. If I have a fire or an accident I would not be able to get my daughter out of the back of the truck and gm would be getting one hell of a lawsuit. Likewise if anything gets stolen out of my truck due to the locks not working I will also be starting a lawsuit against gm. Every manufacturer wants to get ever penny they can out of people without taking responsibility for hiring the lowest bidder for crucial parts on their vehicles and then refuses to stand behind them. Some people I have talked to have replaced these door actuators 4+ times all the way around their vehicle. Unacceptable.
