THE DASH CRACKED NEXT TO THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER. IT DID SO COMPLETELY BY ITSELF SOMETIME BETWEEN ABOUT MAY 10 AND MAY 18 . IT WAS FINE THE LAST TIME I DUSTED THE DASH OFF AROUND MAY 10. I DISCOVERED IT A COUPLE OF DAYS A GO. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN 2OO7 TO 2O13 GM TRUCK TYPE VEHICLES. MY SON IN LAW HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2010 SILVERADO HE BOUGHT NEW. I ALSO PURCHASED MY 2009 SILVERADO NEW. I ALSO GOT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE. SEEMS THE AIRBAG PROBLEM COULD BE MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE CRACKED DASH. DON'T KNOW IF TRUCK WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I ASSUME IT MAY HAVE BEEN PARKED AS I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING ANY SORT OF CRACKING SOUND.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY SON WHEN SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I THEN USED MY ACTRON SCAN TOOL AND PULLED 3X CODES FROM THE COMPUTER (ECU) CODES RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE , AND TRAILER BRAKE WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CLEARED THESE CODES. 2 DAYS LATER CODES REAPPEARED ALL WERE FUEL PUMP CIRCUIT LOW, FUEL PUMP MODULE AND TRAILER BRAKE CODES. CLEARED CODES THEN INSPECTED THE FPSM VISUALLY REMOVED REAR COVER AND THE FPSM WAS FULL OF WATER I THEM DRIED IT OUT FOR 2X DAYS IN THE SUN TRUCK RAN AFTER REASSEMBLY. BUT 3X DAYS LATER THE TRUCK FAILED TO START THIS TIME WITH COMPUTER SCAN TOOL IN HAND I CHECKED THE FUEL PUMP PRESSURE, THE TRUCK HAD NO FUEL PUMP PRESSURE. I THEN WENT TO MY LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND GAVE THEM THE V.I.N. # TO CHECK THE VEHICLE FOR RECALLS. ONLY RECALL WAS FOR SAFETY BELT RECALL WHICH WAS DONE IN 2009. I FOUND OUT THERE WAS A POTENTIAL RECALL FOR THE FPSM ON THIS WEBSITE. SO II INQUIRED TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT FOR THIS PART,IT WAS IN STOCK AND 183.00. I THEN PURCHASED A NEW AC DELCO MODULE ON-LINE FOR 85.00 PUT IT ON AND THEN FOUND MY LOCAL SHOP IN TOWN TO HAVE A TECH COME OUT TO RE-FLASH THE FPSM SO THE (ECU) WOULD RECOGNIZE THE NEW PART. I AM SAVING MY COPIES OF THE BILLS SO THAT WHEN SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS PART FAILING WHEN IT STOPS THE VEHICLE HOPEFULLY I CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR ANOTHER PLANNED GM PART FAILURE... SINCERELY MR. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *JB *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON THURSDSY, APRIL 27, 2017, I PARKED MY 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO AT HOME IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER WORK AND SHUT IT OFF FOR THE NIGHT. IT WAS STATIONARY AT THAT POINT. I DID NOT RESTART IT OR MOVE IT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY/EVENING. THE NEXT MORNING, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START, BUT TO NO AVAIL AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. I DETERMINED IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. I CALLED A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR TECH WHO DIAGNOSED IT ON SITE, TO BE A FAULTY CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, WHICH SENDS FUEL TO THE FUEL PUMP. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN / PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL #14515B ISSUED JANUARY 2015. IT CLEARLY STATES THAT THE 2007-2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (ALONG WITH MANY OTHER MAKES/MODELS/YEARS) MAY HAVE A CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE COULD HAVE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION (WATER, BUILD-UP CAUSING WIRE AND BOLT CORROSION). I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE FOR MY VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN, THE UNSAFE FACTOR IS THAT THE "VEHICLE COULD STALL WHILE IN MOTION AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH." WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM472842/RCRIT-14V614-0055.PDF I AM THE THIRD OWNER SO I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE DIRECTLY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MAY 24, 2016.
