TAKATA RECALL TRUCK WAS SOLD BY AUTONATION WITH ACTIVE RECALL FOR PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL ON DECEMBER 16 2015 THAT NEITHER GENERAL MOTORS THAT SAYS YOU CAN NOT BUY VEHICLES WITH RECALLS AND AUTONATION THAT WILL NOT RELEASE TRUCK TO ME THAT I PAID FOR AND SIGNED ALL PAPERS. RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THIS TRUCK JUNE 2015 SO IT HAS BEEN 11MONTHS IN A FEW DAYS AND THREE AND HALF SINCE I BOUGHT /PAID FOR VEHICLE. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THIS PART? WHAT IF MY VEHICLE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WOULD I HAVE MY TRUCK REPAIRED OR HAVE TO WAIT TILL THEY HAVE REMEDY AVAILABLE AS WHEY KEEP STATING REASON I CAN NOT HAVE MY TRUCK NO PART/REMEDY AVAILABLE. LAWS NEED UPDATED TO MAKE MANUFACTURES QUICKLY FIX THESE RECALLS. RECALLS THAT AS GM STATES IS A LIABLITY OR SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE DEATHS SHOULD HAVE A LIMITED AT MOST OF SIX MONTHS, NOT ALMOST A YEAR OR LONGER. WE COULD BUY OTHER 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO WITH RECALLS AND DRIVE THEM OFF THE LOTS OF A NUMBER OF DEALERSHIPS WITH NO PROBLEMS.

"TAKATA RECALL" IT HAS BEEN OVER 8 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THIS. AS OF TODAY THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION FROM GM. THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE CONSIDERING "IT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO RESOLVE THIS SITUATION IN SOME FASHION SO I AM NOT RISKING THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE WAITING.

I HAVE A 2008 SILVERADO 2500HD WITH 48,000 MILES ON IT AND JUST NOTICED TWO CRACKS HAVE FORMED ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. EVEN THOUGH THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED I FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY CHEVROLET AT NO CHARGE. THE VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN STORED SUN PROTECTED EXCEPT WHEN TRAVELING. AT THAT TIME A DASH SCREEN IS USED FOR SUN PROTECTION. I CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IMMEDIATELY AND THEY HAD ME TAKE MY VEHICLE TO A CHEVROLET DEALER FOR EXAMINATION. I HAD MY VEHICLE EXAMINED AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON MARCH 21, 2016. THEY EXAMINED THE VEHICLE, TOOK PHOTOS AND TOLD ME THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITH THE DECISION. THEY DID SO LATER THAT DAY BUT THE DECISION WAS TO REPLACE THE DASH WHICH WOULD BE $1000.00 OF WHICH GM WOULD BE WILLING TO PICK UP HALF, SO MY OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE WOULD BE $500.00. I REFUSED THIS OFFER AND TOLD THE DEALER I WOULD BE CONTACTING THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO DISPUTE ME HAVING TO PAY $500.00 OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO CORRECT A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I CONTACTED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER IMMEDIATELY VIA PHONE AND ASKED THAT THE ISSUE BE ELEVATED TO THE APPROPRIATE PERSON. I PROVIDED THE REPRESENTATIVE ALL THE INFORMATION SHE REQUESTED FROM ME AND SHE ASSURED ME THAT SHE WOULD ELEVATE THE ISSUE TO THE SENIOR MANAGER IN MY AREA AND THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITHIN 48 HOURS WITH A DECISION. AS OF THIS WRITING I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE.

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LIKE MANY OTHERS I HAVE A CRACKED DASHBOARD. ONE OF THEM IS A SMALL CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER MUCH LARGER ONE IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE GAUGES. I'VE ALWAYS KEPT MY DASHBOARD COVERED WHEN IT WAS PARKED WITH A COVER THAT GOES ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND USED A PRODUCT PROTECT AND KEEP THE DASHBOARD NEW. TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM IMPROPERLY PLACED SCREWS AND CLASPS OR POSSIBLY AN INFERIOR MATERIAL FOR THE DASHBOARD.

"TAKATA RECALL"I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2015. STILL NO REMEDY YET IS UNACCEPTABLE! WHAT IS GM WAITING ON? I SUGGEST THEY BE ORDERED TO STOP PRODUCING CARS UNTIL THEY FIX THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE ROAD ALREADY. PERHAPS THAT WOULD GET THEM TO PRODUCE A REMEDY FOR THIS LIFE THREATENING SAFETY PROBLEM!

MY 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO'S DASH IS CRACKING PREMATURELY. I HAVE A LOW MILEAGE, WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE THAT HAS 2 LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASH FROM I ASSUME IS PLASTIC DETERIORATION. I FEEL THIS TYPE OF DEFECT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN IN A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE AND GM KNOWS THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALER BUT GM ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECTIVE MATERIAL.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEED DOOR LOCKS WILL ACTUATE BACK AND FORTH WITH ALL DASH LIGHTS FLASHING. EVENTUALLY CAR LOSES ALL POWER, ENGINE DIES, AND HAVE TO PULP TO SIDE OF INTERSTATE WITHOUT POWER BRAKES OR PROPULSION. I WAS PERSONALLY ALMOST REAR ENDED BY A SEMI AT APPROX 60 MPH. FURTHERMORE, IT IS KNOW THAT ALL DOOR PANELS IN THIS VEHICLE RETAIN MOISTURE. THIS HAS KILLED ALL SPEAKERS AND I GUESS IT COULD BE A POTENTIAL CAUSE OF THE AFORE MENTIONED PROBLEM.
