THIS AIR BAG RECALL STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AFTER GREATER THAN THREE YEARS. WHY ARE WE STILL ALLOWING CARS WITH TAKATA AIR BAGS TO BE SOLD IN THIS COUNTRY WHE THEY HAVE NOT RESOLVED ISSUES WITH THOUSANDS OF CARS ALREADY ON THE ROAD? ARE YOU WAITING ON A CERTAIN NUMBER OF CITIZENS TO BE INJURED BEFORE TAKING ANY FURTHER ACTION?

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES NEAR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. SAFETY CONCERN SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY CAUSING SHARDS OF DEFECTIVE DASH TO ACT AS PROJECTILES INJURING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH GM VEHICLES FROM 2007 TO 2013. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN CRACK WAS FIRST OBSERVED.

AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS PROMPTING ME TO THINK THAT THIS IS RELATED TO THE TAKATA RECALL. MY 2011 SILVERADO HAS LESS THAN 100,00 MILES. THE TRANSMISSION STARTED MAKING NOISES, THEN IT STOPPED. PRIOR TO THAT NOTHING WAS INDICATED AS GOING WRONG. ONE MONTH LATER, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT MOVE INTO GEARS. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE SERVICE THAT I AM GETTING OUT OF IT.ALSO THE INTERIOR IS DETERIORATING. MY RADIO DIALS AND HEAT/AIR CONTROL BUTTONS ARE FADED. THE STEERING WHEEL IS PEELING. I EVEN BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY. MY POWER WINDOW WENT OUT, FIXED BY WARRANTY. THIS TRUCK HAS TOO MANY DEFECTS AND I AM SEEKING SOME ANSWERS AND ASSISTING IN CORRECTING THESE PROBLEMS.

MAY 27,2011 GM ANNOUCED A RECALL OF THE PASSEGER SIDE AIR BAG ON MY TRUCK. RECALL # 16V381. NOW THE DEALER TELLS ME GM IS ASKING Y'ALL TO ALLOW THEM CANCEL THIS RECALL.

LETS GET THESE FIXED BEFORE MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ESLE GETS KILLED.

TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA NUMBER 16V381. MAY 2016. I AM TOLD THAT GM FILED A NOTICE OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY REGARDING THIS RECALL IN AUGUST 2017, ROUGHLY 17 MONTHS AGO. I BELIEVE THE NEXT STEP IS FOR NHTSA TO ACCEPT OR DENY GM'S POSITION. WHEN SHOULD NHTSA'S RESPONSE BE EXPECTED?

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
IGNITION SWITCH INTERMITTENTLY STOPS WORKING. IT WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING CITY STREETS AND AT HIGH SPEEDS AND THE LOCK BUTTONS WILL LOCK AND UNLOCK REPEATEDLY WHILE SHOWING THE TRUCK IN PARK, ALL WHILE GOING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY. IT'S TERRIFYING. SOMETIMES IT WON'T START OR DO ANYTHING. BUT IF I JIGGLE IT THEN IT WILL START. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WITH MULTIPLE DRIVERS. I HAD IT DIAGNOSED AND DID SOME QUICK ONLINE SEARCHES AND THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS.

TAKATA RECALL: THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2014-15 SILVERADO (RECAL # 14V301000). I AM HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK ABOUT A YEAR, 2ND OWNER, BOUGHT IT AT 30K MILES.ON NOV. 25 I CAME OUT TO START MY START MY TRUCK AND I IMMEDIATELY COULDN'T POWER UP STEREO AND THEN I NOTICED I HAVE NO DOOR CHIME FOR OPEN DOOR, NO CHIME FOR KEY IN IGNITION AND NO CHIME FOR MY SEATBELT. MY TURN SIGNAL INDICATOR NO LONGER LETS ME KNOW WHEN IT IS ON. MY KEY FOB WILL NOT OPERATE KEYLESS START. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE COULD EASILY BE INCLUDED IN RECALL. I'M SURE THERE WERENT MANY BECAUSE MOST DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT GIVING ANY SIGNS THAT THEY HAVE DEALT WITH THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALL GOOD FUSES IN BOTH BOXES TOO. THE 1 DEALERSHIP JUMPED RIGHT TO REPLACING STEREO FOR A $1000. NOW I JUST DONT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY NOR CAN I AFFORD TO BE COMING IN AND OUT OF DEALERSHIP TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT. SOMEBODY KNOWS WHAT IT IS AND THEIR NOT SHARING THAT INFO. CAN YOU HELP MEFIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT.I HAVE NO AUDIBLE INDICATOR LETTING ME KNOW DOOR IS OPEN WHILE KEY IS IN IGNITION AND AUDIBLE INDICATOR LETTING ME KNOW IF SEATBELT IS BUCKLED AND I AM A OVER THE ROAD CARRIER AND SPEND ALOT OF TIME IN MY TRUCK. THANK YOU

ENGINE
I WAS TRAVELING TO WORK IN THE FAST LANE OF THE FREEWAY WHEN I HEARD A FAINT SQUEALING NOISE AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY STARTED RUNNING ROUGH. I BEGAN CROSSING ALL 4 LANES AND BY THE TIME I MADE IT TO THE THE SLOW LANE THE TRUCK COMPLETELY DIED. I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY COAST OFF OF THE FREEWAY DUE TO MY QUICK REACTION AND LACK OF TRAFFIC AT THE TIME, BUT THE SITUATION WAS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SO WITH HEAVIER TRAFFIC OR A LESS AWARE DRIVER. LATER DIAGNOSIS AT THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE CP4 FUEL PUMP DISINTEGRATED INSIDE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DIESEL TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALER I LEARNED THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND THE REPAIR COMES WITH A $10,000 PRICE TAG. I WAS ALSO VERY SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM AND GM CONTINUED TO USE THEM UNTIL 2017...7 YEARS! MY TRUCK IS A 2011 WITH ONLY 54K MILES, AND THEY JUST FIXED A 2017 WITH ONLY 7K MILES! I HAVE SINCE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH FINDING HUNDREDS OF LOW MILEAGE GM DURAMAX DIESEL BETWEEN 2011-2017 WITH THE EXACT SAME FAILURE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE BOTTOM OF THE FAILURE ITSELF AND I FOUND THE FOLLOWING...THE BOSCH CP4 FUEL PUMPS THAT WERE USED IN THESE TRUCKS (ALSO FOUND IN LATE FORD AND VW DIESELS) ARE MADE IN EUROPE TO DIFFERENT SPECIFICATIONS. THE PUMPS RELY ON LUBRICANT FOUND IN DIESEL #1 TO OPERATE SMOOTHLY AND LAST A LONG TIME. HERE IN THE U.S. WE ONLY HAVE DIESEL #2 WHICH LACKS THAT LUBRICANT AND CAUSES THE INTERNAL PARTS OF THE PUMP TO DISINTEGRATE SENDING METAL SHAVINGS THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS IS WHY THE REPAIR AVERAGES $10,000 ACROSS THE COUNTRY, THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM BECOMES CONTAMINATED AND HAS TO BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. A VEHICLE SUDDENLY DIEING WITH SECONDS NOTICE ON THE FREEWAY IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY EYES. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT'S A COMMON FAILURE THAT CAN BE PREVENTED.
