ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILTRAK,ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND THE VEHICLE POWERS DOWN AND BARELY MOVES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, MOSTLY DURING COLD WEATHER, ALTHOUGH IT HAS HAPPENED IN WARM WEATHER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE TRYING TO MANEUVER OUT OF TRAFFIC. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND WHEN CHECKED OVER THEY REPORTED THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY AFTER SITTING THERE ALL NIGHT. THIS IS DANGEROUS! I HAVE READ MANY INSTANCES OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS. PLEASE CHECK INTO THIS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 TIMES, THE LATEST AROUND JANUARY OF 2019.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY, SEAT BELTS
WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE ROAD AT ~45 MPH,I STRUCK A DEER ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. THE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT DID NOT COME OUT OF THE CENTER STEERING. AIR BAG DUST WAS COMING OUT OF THE BACK OF THE STEERING WHEEL, NO AIR BAG. I WAS VERY CONFUSED. THE FRONT BUMPER WAS PUSHED IN ~2.5 INCHES. I AM FORTUNATE THAT I DID NOT HIT ANOTHER CAR, SINCE THE AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONED ON DEPLOYMENT.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECAL I CALLED A CHEVROLET DEALER TO SEE WHEN THE AIRBAGS WOULD BE FIXED. I WAS BASICALLY TOLD NEVER. " WE WILL NEVER HAVE THE REPAIR PARTS. I DRIVE THIS TRUCK EVERY DAY AND WONDER WHY MY GOVERNMENT DOES NOT MAKE GM REPAIR THESE HORRIBLE AIRBAGS. IT WAS ALMOST AS IF THE SERVICE MANAGER WAS LAUGHING AT ME FOR WANTING THE REPAIR, STATED IT IS JUST A FEW PELLETS AND PROBABLY WANT HURT YOU THE DRIVER BUT MIGHT THE PASSAGE "WHO KNOWS"! I WANT THIS REPAIRED AND WANT TO KNOW WHY 8 YEARS LATER THAT I CANNOT GET IT REPAIRED?

TAKATA RECALL I WAS NOTIFIED IN JULY OF 2016 THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS IN CERTAIN GM 2011 MODEL YEAR SILVERADOS. THE INFO I'M GETTING WHEN I SEARCH THE DATABASE FOR RECALLS IS AS FOLLOWS: RECALL STATUS: INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. GM IS WORKING QUICKLY TO FINALIZE THE NECESSARY REPAIR PROCEDURES AND/OR OBTAIN PARTS. YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED VIA WRITTEN COMMUNICATION WHEN THE REPAIR PROCEDURE OR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. YOU CAN ALSO CHECK BACK AT THIS WEBSITE OR WITH YOUR PREFERRED CERTIFIED SERVICE DEALER. IT'S BEEN OVER THREE YEARS AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED AND GM HAS NOT BEEN MADE TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT TO TEST THE SAFETY OF THE AIR BAGS. WHY HASN'T THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION FORCED GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION?

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT THIS FROM NEW IN 2011 AND THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT GENERAL MOTORS WOULD RATHER LAWYER-UP THAN TO HAVE TO REPLACE AIRBAGS. I PERSONALLY AM POINTING THE FINGER AT NHTSA AND HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY INJURIES OR DEATHS AS A RESULT FROM A FAULTY AIRBAG DUE TO FACT THAT THEY WILL NOT ENFORCE GM TO REPLACE THEM. WHAT GOOD IS NHTSA IF GM CAN BULLY THEM AND REFUSE TO COMPLY. AS I HAVE SAID, I PERSONALLY AM HOLDING NHTSA ACCOUNTABLE FOR AND INJURIES OR DEATHS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL.
