STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES. ONE LOCATION IS RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE OTHER IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD RESULT IN PLASTIC BREAKING FREE AND BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES WITHIN THE CABIN. LIKE MANY OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME ISSUE, THE VEHICLE IS WELL MAINTAINED, GARAGE KEPT, AND IN GOOD WORKING ORDER. THE WAY THAT GM DESIGNED THE DASHBOARDS AND THE MATERIALS USED FOR THE DASHBOARDS ARE THE REASON FOR THIS ISSUE.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO SEPARATE AREAS. ONE ABOVE THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I CALLED TWO DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS, NEITHER OF WHICH WILLING TO CORRECT OR REPORT TO GM. ENTIRE REPAIR WOULD BE AT OWNER EXPENSE. DASH HAS HAD VERY LITTLE SUNLIGHT EXPOSURE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DASHBOARD RECENTLY CRACKED ON ITS OWN IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS CONSOLE. IT SEEMS AS IF THIS IS SOME SORT OF DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS. IT SPLIT ALL THE WAY THROUGH. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE PIECES NEXT TO THE AIRBAG MAY BECOME PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO EVER BE DEPLOYED. GM AND CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS REFUSE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AFTER NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES
HARD METAL BRAKE LINE FAILURE DURING EMERGENCY, HIGH PEDAL PRESSURE, STOP. NO INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO AVOID ENTERING AN INTERSECTION, AS THE LEAD CAR. BRAKING WAS FIRM, BEFORE PEDAL DESCENDED STEADILY TOWARD THE FLOOR. PUMPING PROVIDED SOME FRICTION, BUT WAS UNABLE TO RESTORE A MINORITY OF THE SYSTEM'S CAPACITY. THE FAILURE WAS A HOLE DEVELOPED IN THE LINE, ALONG ITS PATH TO THE PASSENGER FRONT BRAKE CALIPER. THE BRAKE LINES SHOWED ALARMING CORROSION LEVELS, WHICH WHILE POTENTIALLY UNDERSTANDABLE FOR A 13 YEAR OLD NORTHEAST OUTDOOR WINTER TRUCK, WAS A SYMPTOM OF CATASTROPHIC POTENTIAL. *JS

STEERING
POWER STEERING CONSISTENTLY CUTS OUT WHEN TURNING *RIGHT* AND ENGINE IS COLD. ALSO EXPERIENCED SAME ISSUE WHEN ENGINE IS WARM BUT DE-ACCELERATING (SLOWING DOWN) AND TURNING RIGHT. THIS FORCES VEHICLE INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT TURN. HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN ALL TYPES OF TRAFFIC. THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE. LOCAL DEALER SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY PROBLEMS FITTING THIS DESCRIPTION. HOWEVER, MULTIPLE CHEVY BLOGS ARE FULL OF SIMILAR REPORTS AND ALL STATE CHEVY IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. (??)

THERE ARE SEVERAL HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE DASH BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS VEHICLE HAS 48,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PASSENGER INJURIES NOT TO FORGET THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR $53,000 AND EVIDENTLY HAS CHEAP AND POOR QUALITY MATERIALS . I HAVE REPLACED 2 DOOR HANDLES THAT BECAME SO LOOSE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE BOLTS MISSING. A GM PRODUCT MADE IN AMERICA WITH THIS POOR QUALITY! MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IS NEXT!

ENGINE
I AM ONE OF MILLIONS OF 1999-2007 CHEVROLET V8 TRUCK ENGINE OWNERS, WHO IS TOLD BY THEIR GM MECHANIC THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT(S) HAS BROKEN, LEADING TO EXPENSES RANGING FROM $500 TO $1,500. GM BUILT THE ENGINES WITH SUBSTANDARD BOLTS THAT DO NOT LAST IN COMPARISON TO THE REST OF THE ENGINE AND VEHICLE. ONE OR MORE WILL BREAK, WHICH CAUSES AN EXHAUST LEAK AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND THEREFORE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF SERVICE AS IT CANNOT PASS STATE EMISSIONS TESTS. ADDITIONALLY, SOME OF THE EXHAUST LEAKS ARE NEAR OTHER SENSORS WHICH CAN CAUSE FAULTY READINGS OR UNSAFE CONDITIONS. THOSE WHO ATTEMPT TO SELF-FIX THIS GM-CAUSED PROBLEM FACE UNSAFE CONDITIONS, AS THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO GET TO, REQUIRE A WELDER TO FIX, MAY DAMAGE SURROUNDING EQUIPMENT, ETC. THE NEED FOR A RECALL IS WELL-KNOWN AND VERY LARGE, AND IT IS TIME FOR A RECALL ON THESE, SIMILAR AS HAVE FORD AND TOYOTA HAD RECALLS ON SIMILAR ISSUES. GM SURVIVED DUE TO A BAILOUT FROM TAXPAYERS (MANY OF THEM THEIR OWN CUSTOMERS); IT IS TIME FOR GM TO PERFORM RESPONSIBLY TO A NEEDED RECALL. IN THE PICTURE, THE BROKEN-OFF BOLT HEAD IS EVIDENCED A FEW INCHES TO THE LEFT OF THE RUSTY ONE THAT STILL EXISTS, WHERE THERE IS AN EMPTY HOLE (THE BOLT REMAINS STUCK INSIDE THE ENGINE, AND REQUIRES BORING OUT OR WELDING SOMETHING ON IN ORDER TO BACK IT OUT).
