STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
THE DASH AREA AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER IS CRACKED AND WOULD BE A FLYING DEBRIS HAZARD IN AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. IN ADDITION CRACKS EXIST DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE STEERING COLUMN THAT, WHEN THE SUN HITS IT, CREATES A GLARE THAT AFFECTS VISIBILITY. BOTH OF THESE ARE SAFETY CONCERNS AND GM SAID THAT ITS NORMAL. HOW IS ANYTHING THAT CAN BECOME FLYING SHRAPNEL OR BLINDING THE DRIVER NOT A CONCERN OR NORMAL. THIS NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT. THESE CRACKS APPEARED OVER A YEAR AGO BUT THEY'VE NOW GOTTEN WORSE AND THE GLARE HAS BECOME MORE OF AN ISSUE. *TR

ENGINE
AFM SYSTEM CAUSES CYLINDERS 1 AND 7 TO FOUL THE SPARK PLUGS ACTUALLY CAUSING THE PORCELAIN TO BREAK OFF IN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER. THE AFM IS OBVIOUSLY AN ENGINEERING FAILURE AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY. PREVIOUS FIXES DO NOT WORK. MODIFYING THE VALVE COVER TO CORRECT A DESIGN FLAW IS NOT A CURE FOR THE REAL PROBLEM, WHICH IS A DESIGN FLAW. #1 AND #7 FOUL OUT DUE TO THE COLLECTION OF CARBON DEPOSIT CAUSED FROM EXCESS OIL IN THESE CHAMBERS WHICH CAUSES THE MALFUNCTION ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AND THE EVENTUAL CATALYTIC CONVERTOR FAILURE, POOR GAS MILEAGE AND POOR OVERALL PERFORMANCE, WITH EVENTUAL ENGINE FAILURE. LACK OF ACCELERATION, SLOW PERFORMANCE. FIRST NOTICED AT AROUND 30 TO 50,000 MILES AND PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE. IDLE IS POOR DUE TO FOULED AND BROKEN PLUGS IN THESE TWO CYLINDERS AND THE ECU ATTEMPTING TO CORRECT THE ERROR THE BALANCE OF ENGINE IS THROWN INTO A UNBALANCED CONDITION CAUSING THE BUILDUP OF CARBON DEPOSITS IN THE ENGINE AND CAUSING THE SENSORS TO ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. PROBLEM IS UNIVERSAL AND NOT SPECIFIC TO A FEW SELECT VEHICLES BUT TO THOSE WITH THE AFM SYSTEM AND WAS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM SEVERE ENOUGH FOR GM TO CHANGE TO THE NEWLY DEVELOPED DFM SYSTEM WITHOUT ATTEMPTING TO ACTUALLY ADDRESS THE FLAWED AFM PROBLEM.

JUST BOUGHT TRUCK FROM WYLER CHEVROLET, 1 OWNER TRADE IN. ONLY 67000 MILES. HAVE ONLY DROVE 2000 MILES IN 6 MONTHS. I PARKED IN DRIVEWAY AFTER WORK AT 6 PM, HAD FREEZING RAIN THAT NIGHT. NEXT MORNING TRUCK TURNS OVER FINE BUT DON'T START. HAS OVER 1/2 TANK OF GAS. IT SMELLED LIKE BURNING HAIRDRYER. HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY ON TRUCK, HAD TOWED TO WYLER CHEVROLET IN SPRINGFIELD OHIO.THEY FOUND THE FUSE FOR THE FUEL PUMP WAS BLOWN/BURNT/MELTED. THEY TELL ME THIS ISN'T COVERED BY WARRANTY FUEL SYSTEMS. AFTER ALL THE FUEL PUMP RECALLS FOR THESE 2013 CHEVYS, MY TRUCK MUST HAVE SOMETHING NEEDING REPAIRED ALSO. IF THIS SHORTED OUT AND CAUGHT FIRE WHILE MY FAMILY IS IN THIS TRUCK THIS WILL BE SUCH A BAD SITUATION. IT HAS BEEN SITTING AT DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR GM PAC INSPECTION FOR REPAIR. PLEASE ASSIST

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE CRACK IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BIG AND THE OTHER IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE CRACKS LEAD ME TO SUSPECT THE DASHBOARD IS EITHER BRITTLE OR UNDER STRESS. WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS? WILL THE DASHBOARD DISINTEGRATE AND CAUSE INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS BAD DASHBOARD GIVEN TODAY'S TECHNOLOGY. MY VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT SO THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT 29400 DIESEL EMISSION FLUID TANK RESERVOIR WAS CREATED. NHTSA ID NUMBER:10135147 SPECIAL COVERAGE EXTENDS TO 2013 SILVERADO 3500 MODEL, BUT NOT 2013 SILVERADO 2500 PER THE DEALER. I OWN THE 2500 WHICH IS CURRENTLY SUFFERING FROM OBD ERROR CODE P20B9. SAME CODE APPLIES TO 3500 FROM WHAT I'VE READ. THIS ERROR OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DASH THAT I HAD 100 MILES BEFORE LIMITED POWER AND SPEED WOULD BE APPLIED. FORTUNATELY I WAS 40 MILES FROM HOME. BOTH TRUCKS ARE THE SAME OTHER THAN THE 3500 HAS DUAL WHEELS ("DULLY") AND LARGER REAR AXELS FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD AT THE DEALER. OTHER SYSTEMS, INCLUDING THE DIESEL-EMISSION-REDUCTION FLUID SYSTEM (DEF). BOTH MODELS APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME SYSTEM INCLUDING THE TANK RESERVOIR AND COMPONENTS. IN FACT WHEN YOU ORDER REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR THIS ISSUE, INCREASED DEF TANK-HEATER RESISTANCE, THE PART BEING REPLACED IS THE SAME BE IT A 3500 OR 2500. CURIOUS WHY THE 3500 MODEL IS COVERED UNDER THE SPECIAL COVERAGE AND THE 2500 IS NOT? WHY 2013 2500 NOT ON LIST OF (14) PRODUCTS, IF IT'S THE SAME AS 2013 3500 WHEN BOTH MODELS: -GET THE SAME OBD CODE: P20B9 - REPLACEMENT PART (23379348) FOR 2500 PER DEALER IS FOUND ON THE NHTSA'S SPECIAL COVERAGE LIST - REPLACEMENT PART PER DEALER (23379348) IS THE SAME FOR 3500 AND 2500 PER GM SITE AND ROCKAUTO.COM THANK YOU IN ADVANCE, FIDEL
