AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AND THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES. ONE CRACK IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, DIRECTLY OVER THE AIR BAG. THE OTHER CRACK IS ABOVE THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. EVERY 2008-2013 CHEVROLET PICKUP OR SUV THAT I HAVE SEEN HAS ONE, IF NOT BOTH, OF THESE CRACKS. I FEEL THAT IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO HAVE ANY DAMAGE IN OR AROUND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM WILL NOT FIX AN ISSUE THAT IS THEIR FAULT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
THE ENGINE DIED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH. POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WERE LOST MAKING THE VEHICLE VERY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. I MANAGED TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND HAD IT TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE DIE OUT WAS FOUND TO BE AN INTERNAL FAULT IN THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE.

I AM WRITING TO YOU TODAY TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN OVER CRACKED DASHBOARDS DUE TO A FAULTY PRODUCT OF GM/CHEVROLET. I HAVE A HUGE CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD WHICH IS NOT CAUSED BY MAINTENANCE OR THE SUN. THIS VEHICLE ALSO HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT THAT COULD OF CAUSED THIS. I HAVE 3 OTHER PEOPLE AT MY WORK THAT HAS THIS SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME SPOT. YOU CAN ALSO READ ABOUT SEVERAL OTHER STORIES ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. GM REFUSES TO PUT OUT A RECALL TO FIX THEIR FAULTY PRODUCT. I FEAR THAT IN AN ACCIDENT THIS WILL CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD TO FLY ABOUT THE VEHICLE CAUSING FURTHER INJURIES TO A PASSENGER IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE
FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE ENGINE OCCURRED LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. AT ROUGHLY 88K MILES I NOTICED A SKIP IN POWER/TORQUE ESPECIALLY WHEN GOING UPHILL AT A CONSTANT SPEED, A LIGHT LOSS OF POWER WAS NOTICED VERY BRIEFLY AS IF ONE CYLINDER WAS MISSING. LESS THAN 100 MILES LATER THE "SERVICE STABILITRAK" AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD THE ENGINE CODE READ AND CYLINDER 7 WAS MISFIRING. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH 3 DAYS LEFT ON MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY (THANK GOD RIGHT?), WRONG. FOR WHATEVER REASON AN ENGINE MALFUNCTION WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. BUT THE LEAKING AND FAILING BRAKE SYSTEM WAS COVERED. ADVISED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE LIFTERS HAD FAILED WHICH COSTED ME A GRAND TO FIX LESS THAN 3 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASE. EXACTLY ONE YEAR AND ROUGHLY 20K MILES LATER THE TRUCK DEVELOPED A LOUD TICK RIGHT AFTER STARTUP. ITS NOW IDLING VERY ROUGH, RPM GAUGE DOES NOT STAY CONSISTENT AT IDLE AND AT ONE POINT DROPPED ALMOST TO 0, TRUCK ALMOST SHUT OFF AND THEN JUMPED BACK UP. AFTER SPEAKING WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ABOUT IT HE PROPOSED IT WAS THE CAM FROM HIS PERSONAL EXPERIENCE. IT SEEMS THE INCORRECT MATERIAL WAS USED ON SOME OF THE CAMS CONSTRUCTION ("SOFTER METAL"). THIS MECHANIC TOLD ME IT CAN PUT AN INDENTION IN THE CYLINDER WALL AND CAUSE THE VALVES TO MALFUNCTION, IN TURN CAUSING THE LIFTERS TO FAIL. SO IF THIS IS TRUE WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PART? EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES INCLUDING BIG COMPANIES, THEY'D BE A LOT MORE RESPECTABLE IF THEY CORRECTED THEIR MISTAKES. SO NOW MY OPTIONS ARE TO SPEND ALL THE MONEY I SAVED FOR COLLEGE, FIX MY TRUCK FOR $4,000 AND NOT GO TO SCHOOL THIS YEAR OR TRADE IT IN AND GET A FORD.
