TAKATA RECALL. I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY 2015 THAT A SAFETY RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN MY TRUCK. I HAVE TRIED (3) TIMES SINCE THEM TO HAVE MY CHEVROLET DEALER REPAIR THIS. BUT AS OF 02/18/2016, I AM STILL BEING TOLD THAT "THE TYPE OF REPAIR NEEDED FOR THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED. WE WILL NOTIFY YOU WHEN IT HAS". I FIND THIS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, AS I NEED MY VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT MYSELF AND MY FAMILY, YET WE ARE AT CONSTANT RISK FOR A DEFECTIVE PART THAT COULD SEVERELY INJURE US OR CAUSE DEATH. CAN YOU DO ANYTHING TO EXPEDITE THIS REPAIR? THANK YOU.

AIR BAGS, SERVICE BRAKES
THE DAY AFTER I BOUGHT THIS TRUCK, WHILE STARTING TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AT MY MECHANIC'S SHOP, MY FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED, GOT OUT AND FOUND A LARGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. THEY TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE SHOP AND FOUND ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE BADLY RUSTED AND 1 HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. DURING THE REPLACEMENT PROCESS THEY ALSO FOUND THE FUEL LINE WAS RUSTED SO I HAD IT REPLACED AS WELL. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE SERVICE AIRBAG WARNING STARTED COMING ON WHEN DRIVING THE TRUCK. TRANSPORT CANADA HAS A RECALL FOR THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM AS FOLLOWS FROM THEIR WEB SITE: TRANSPORT CANADA RECALL # 2014510 RECALL DATE2014/11/07 NOTIFICATION TYPESAFETY TC SYSTEMAIRBAG MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER19270B CATEGORYLIGHT TRUCK & VAN RECALL DETAILS ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SENSING AND DIAGNOSTIC MODULE (SDM) MAY CORRODE DUE TO A SIGNIFICANT QUANTITY OF SNOW AND/OR WATER CONTAINING ROAD SALT OR OTHER CONTAMINANTS ENTERING THE VEHICLE AND SATURATING THE ACOUSTICAL PADDING BENEATH THE FLOOR CARPET. IF SUFFICIENT MOISTURE COLLECTS AND IS RETAINED IN THE PADDING, IT MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE CORROSION UNDER THE MODULE; COMPROMISING THE MODULE SEAL AND ALLOWING WATER INTRUSION AND SYSTEM MALFUNCTION. THIS MAY RESULT IN ILLUMINATION OF THE AIRBAG READINESS LIGHT ALONG WITH A "SERVICE AIRBAG" MESSAGE ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER AND, IN CERTAIN INSTANCES, MAY CAUSE INADVERTENT DEPLOYMENT OF THE SEATBELT PRETENSIONER AND/OR AIRBAGS. INADVERTENT AIRBAG AND/OR PRETENSIONER DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. CORRECTION: DEALERS WILL REMOVE THE ACOUSTICAL PAD ABOVE THE SDM, INSPECT, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE SDM.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
VEHICLE, WHICH I HAD JUST BOUGHT USED FROM A DEALERSHIP, DIED WHILE IN MOTION REPEATEDLY ON BOTH A HIGHWAY AND ON A STREET AFTER BEING DRIVEN FOR A PERIOD OF TIME. DID NOT OCCUR DURING TEST DRIVES OR DURING INSPECTION. INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS, GAUGES AND DOOR LOCKS OPERATED ERRATICALLY BEFORE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED. WOULD NOT PROMPTLY RESTART. TOOK SEVERAL ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT STARTED. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAD VEHICLE FOR OVER A DAY AND COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. MY SEARCH ON GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE INDICATES THAT THERE IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CORROSION OF THE BATTERY CABLES, - JUST "GOOGLE" 2007 SILVERADO ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND YOU WILL SEE WHAT I MEAN. WHY THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP COULD NOT OR WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE THIS I DON'T KNOW. I REPLACED ALL THE NECESSARY BATTERY CABLES AND THE PROBLEM HAS NOT REOCCURRED. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON FAULT THAT CHEVY SHOULD BE WELL AWARE OF AND THE FIX READILY AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECAL: I WAS NOTIFIED IN JUNE OF 2015 THAT THE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED. IT IS NOW 2016 AND A "FIX" HAS STILL NOT BEEN MADE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. THIS FAR EXCEEDS THE REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME IT SHOULD TAKE TO COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO SOMETHING THAT CAN KILL YOU.

SERVICE BRAKES
WAS DRIVING WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE SLOWED HOWEVER DID NOT STOP. AFTER THIS THE BRAKE PEDAL DID NOT FEEL RIGHT. UPON INSPECTING THE BRAKES MYSELF I DETERMINED THAT A BRAKE LINE FAILED. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHERE HE PROCEEDED TO TELL ME THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS AND THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED. THE LINES ARE STEEL AND RUST. THE BILL WOULD BE APPROX. $1,000.00 TO REPAIR!!! IT'S A NICE TRUCK HOWEVER I MAY NOT PURCHASE ANOTHER GM VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE AND GM NOT STANDING BEHIND IT AND RECALLING THESE TO HAVE THE LINES REPLACED WITH STAINLESS.

DASHBOARD CRACKS IN THREE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. AS KNOWN BY MANY OTHER OWNERS IN THE SAME LOCATIONS. I AM AFRAID IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIRBAGS WOULD CAUSE DASHBOARD TO COME APART FLYING INTO THE CABIN CAUSING BODILY INJURY TO PASSENGERS.
