"TAKATA RECALL". WENT TO THE WEBSITE ON THE MAILER AND FOUND THAT WE ARE ONE OF THE VEHICHLES THAT NEEDS TO HAVE THE RECALL DONE ON, CONTACTED THE CLOSEST DEALER THEY LISTED (HAPPENS TO BE THE ONE WE PURCHASED FROM) AND ERICA @ ROSSI ADVISED THAT HER COMPUTER SAYS "NO REMEDY AVAIL" AND SUGGESTED I CALL THE 888 # FOR YOU GUYS. OUR AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN LIT ON THE DASH FOR THE LAST FEW MONTHS. NOT SURE IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE RECALL OR THE SENSOR HAS GONE BAD IN THE FRONT BUMPER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
RAPID TEMPORARY LOSS OF ENGINE POWER, DOORLOCKS CYCLING REPEATEDLY, GUAGES MALFUNCTIONING, RADIO SHUTS OFF AND TURNS BACK ON WITH NO PRESET STATIONS AND SHOWING 12:00 ON THE CLOCK ,CRUISE CONTROL DISENGAGES. ONCE VEHICLE IS SHUT OFF, NO GUAGES NOR LIGHTS WORK...AS IF THERE WASN'T ANY BATTERY IN THE VEHICLE. VEHICLE WON'T START UNTIL DOME LIGHT IS RESTORED ON VIA JUMPSTARTING. CLEANING BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND NUMEROUS GROUND WIRE CONNECTIONS GIVES SHORT-LIVED RELIEF FROM SYMTOMS BUT PROBLEMS ULTIMATELY RETURN. CHEVY DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSIS SHOWS THAT GROUND WIRES HAVE HIGH RESISTANCE. ONLINE RESEARCH SHOWS THAT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER CHEVY OWNERS ARE HAVING SIMILAR TO EXACT SAME PROBLEMS, YET NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. PROBLEM WAS "FIXED" LAST YEAR AND HAS RETURNED YET AGAIN.

I HAVE A 2008 SILVERADO IN SHOWROOM CONDITION. IT HAS 109K MILES AND HAS BEEN A GREAT TRUCK. OVER THE LAST 24 MONTHS I HAVE NOTICED CRACKS APPEARING IN THE DASH. EVENTUALLY THEY GOT SO BAD THAT THEY STRETCHED ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE TOP OF MY DASH INCLUDING THE AREA AROUND THE AIR BAG. I RECEIVED AN AIRBAG RECALL AND I SHOWED THE DEALER THE CRACKING. I EXPLAINED MY CONCERN THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT WOULD CAUSE PLASTIC SHRAPNEL TO FLY INTO THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THE DEALER SAID MY TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT IT WOULD COST CLOSE TO $8000 TO COMPLETELY CHANGE THE DASH WHICH THEY TOLD ME WAS THE ONLY OPTION. I CALLED CHEVY CORPORATE AND SPOKE WITH A CHEVY REPRESENTATIVE AND GOT BASICALLY THE SAME ANSWER. I ASKED WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO WHEN AN ACCIDENT OCCURS WHERE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BY THE BROKEN PLASTIC FLYING THROUGH THE CAB. THE REPRESENTATIVE REFUSED TO ANSWER ME.
