FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK IN THE RETURN FUEL LINE LOCATED AT THE TANK. THE FUEL LINE IS MADE OF PLASTIC, IT HAS NO PROTECTION AROUND THE FUEL LINE, AND IS LOCATED WHERE NATURAL DEBRIS MAY COLLECT. IN THIS PARTICULAR INCIDENT AN ACORN BECAME LODGED NEXT TO FUEL LINE AND WORE A HOLE IN IT. THE RESULT WAS A FUEL LEAK ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING/DRIVEN, AND I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME THIS OCCURRED. THE AREA WHERE THIS FUEL LEAK OCCURS IS ALSO DIRECTLY OPPOSITE OF THE DIESEL EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH REACHES 1200 DEGREES DURING THE REGENERATION PROCESS. WHILE DRIVING WITH THIS LEAK THE WIND TURBULENCE CREATED UNDER THE VEHICLE CAUSED DIESEL FUEL TO BE DISTRIBUTED ACROSS THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUCK INCLUDING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED A FIRE. THERE HAVE BEEN VEHICLE FIRES REPORTED BUT SINCE THE LINES ARE PLASTIC ANY EVIDENCE OF THEM BEING DAMAGED IS DESTROYED AND THE TRUE CAUSE OF THE FIRE LEFT UNDETERMINED. THIS DESIGN DEFECT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT AND CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY TO PREVENT ANY FURTHER PROPERTY DAMAGE AND HARM TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AND THE DEALER CLAIMS A RODENT CHEWED THROUGH THE LINE AND CAUSED THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED KEPT AND I DO NOT LIVE ON A FARM, PLUS THERE ARE MANY OTHER ITEMS IN THE GARAGE THAT A RODENT WOULD PREFER OVER THE FUEL LINE. I HAVE A VIDEO AND THE FUEL LINE AND THE 2 ACORNS. THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED EITHER BY PUTTING A SHIELD TO STOP THE DEBRIS FROM ENTERING, MOVING THE TANK BACK 4 INCHES, AND/OR WRAPPING THE FUEL LINES WITH A PROTECTIVE COVERING.

I HAVE A CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. ONE OF WHICH IS BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, WHICH IF WAS INFLATED WOULD SEND PLASTIC DASHBOARD PIECES INTO THE PASSENGER FACE, DUE TO THE BRITTLENESS OF THE PLASTIC THAT CRACKS WHEN TOUCHED. THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE DASH, WHICH IS BRITTLE TO THE TOUCH. GM REFUSES TO FIX FOR FREE, EVEN KNOWING THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE FAULTY PLASTIC DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO GET WORSE, AS GM HAS INSTALLED THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS IN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
SERVICE STABILITRAC KEEPS COMING ON AND SOMETIMES WHEN IT COMES ON IT FLASHES AND EVERY TIME IT FLASHES IT APPLIES THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE PULLING THE TRUCK TO THE RIGHT. WHEN YOU GO TO SLOW DOWN TO PULL OVER THE ANTI LOCK BRAKES TURN ON UNTIL YOU ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPPED AND ONCE THE STABILITRAC LIGHT COMES ON STEADY AND STOPS FLASHING IT WILL NOT DO IT ANY MORE UNTIL YOU TURN THE TRUCK OFF AND RESET IT. IT MAINLY DOES IT ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS BUT IT HAS DONE IT IN TOWN ALSO. NO PATTERN TO WHEN IT DOES IT SOMETIMES I MAY DRIVE 100 MILES BEFORE IT DOES IT AND SOMETIMES IT COMES ON AS SOON AS I CUT THE TRUCK ON AND TAKE OFF. IT HAS COME ON WHEN STOPPED AND FOOT ON BRAKE GETTING READY TO LEAVE. HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY WHAT IS THE PROBLEM

TAKATA RECALL THIS VEHICLE HAS REPEATEDLY SHOWN AIRBAG REQUIRES SERVICING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE WARNING HAS BEEN LOOKED AT REPEATEDLY AND I AM TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. HOWEVER THE WARNING PERSISTS. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT A POSSIBLE RECALL BUT THAT LETTER WAS MISPLACED WHILE ASKING ABOUT THE CONSTANT WARNING. THE TAKATA SITE SAYS THE 2007-2013 CHEVY SILVERADO IS BEING RECALLED FOR THE EXPLOSIVE BAG. I AM VERY AFRAID OF AN AIRBAG PROBLEM BUT THIS WARNING STILL PERSISTS. DO I HAVE TO HAVE A DEADLY ACCIDENT WITH THE AIRBAG TO PROVE MY POINT?
