LIKE MANY OTHER CHEVROLET SILVERADO OWNERS MY DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES; ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER RIGHT NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. WHAT?S THE MOST CONCERNING TO ME IS THE CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, BECAUSE IF IT EVER DEPLOYS THE SHRAPNEL FROM BROKEN DASH WILL BE DEADLY PROJECTILES THAT CAN SERIOUSLY INJURE OR KILL THE OCCUPANTS. THIS TRUCK HAS ONLY 54000 MILES. I BELIEVE GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD RECALL OR COMPENSATE THE OWNERS OF THESE DEFECTIVE TRUCKS AND SUVS. THE WAY IT HAPPENED WAS WHEN I GOT IN MY TRUCK ONE DAY I HAD A CRACK AND A WEEK OR TWO LATER, I HAD ANOTHER. ANOTHER ANNOYING PART OF IS MY TRUCK IS IT IS EQUIPPED WITH DIESEL ENGINE WITH INCREASED VIBRATION AND WHEN THE WEATHER GETS COLD THERE IS LOUD RATTLING OR RUBBING THAT RESONATES THROUGH THE WHOLE CAB BECAUSE OF THE CRACKS ON THE DASH. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY TRUCK FRAME. IT IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH IN A FEW SPOTS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE IT IS TO KEEP DRIVING. THIS IS A COMBINATION OF POOR ENGINEERING/ CHEAP STEEL FROM GM'S SIDE AND THE HIGHLY CORROSIVE CHEMICALS THAT ARE PUT ON THE ROADS IN NEW ENGLAND FROM THE DOT. GM HAS CLEARLY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM AND I AM ON MY OWN TO COVER THE COST OF A NEW FRAME OR A NEW VEHICLE.

TAKARA RECALL. A COUPLE MONTHS AGO I HAD A SERVICE LIGHT ON FOR THE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE GM CERTIFIED DEALER. THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT THEY FIGURED IT WAS THE SDM. THEIR BEST GUESS AND TO START WITH THAT. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO WORRY, IT'S NOTHING SERIOUS AS OF YET. SO THROUGHOUT THE COURSE THE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. ON SEPTEMBER 20TH AFTER DROPPING OFF MY CHILD AT DAY CARE, I WENT TO WORK EARLY FOR A MEETING. I PARKED IN MY NORMAL SPOT AND WENT IN. AFTER MY HOUR LONG MEETING MY MANAGER HAD NOTIFIED ME, THAT MY AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. IT WAS OFF, PARKED, AND AIRBAGS WENT OFF ON THEIR OWN. IF I DIDN'T HAVE THAT MEETING, THEY WOULD HAVE DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING AND WOULD'VE KILLED ME AND MY CHILD. I DO HAVE VIDEO FOOTAGE OF THEM DEPLOYING FROM MY WORKS SECURITY CAMERAS.
