AS TO DATE,DECEMBER OF 2012, THERE ARE OVER 212 COMPLAINTS TO NHTSA ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE 2007 SILVERADO PICKUP,BE IT 1/2 TON OR ANY OTHER. WHY HASN'T THE ABOVE ADMINISTRATION DONE SOMETHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM? MY OWN PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE IS ON THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS AS I HAVE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA, BUT TO NO AVAIL.THE GM MANUFACTURES HAVE SOLD THE CONSUMER A BILL OF GOODS. FROM READING THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS IT LEADS ONE TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE CONSUMER HAS PURCHASED A PILE OF JUNK.THE QUALITY OF THE VEHICLES ARE BASED ON THE QUALITY OF PARTS PUT INTO THE VEHICLE WHEN IT IS PUT TOGETHER. THE AUTO COMPANIES ARE GETTING AWAY WITH HIGHWAY ROBBERY, WHEN THEY PURCHASE LOW QUALITY PARTS, PASSING THE PROBLEMS ONTO THE CONSUMER, AND NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR WORKMANSHIP.WE AS CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED FROM SHODDY WORKMANSHIP,AND AS I SEE IT,WE ARE NOT GETTING OUR MONEYS WORTH. WHEN IS THE ADMINISTRATION GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS FILED? *TR

EQUIPMENT, AIR BAGS
I HAD A SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT T ON IN MY 2007 CHEVROLET SILVERADO PICK UP TRUCK. I WENT TO A DEALER TO HAVE IT SERVICED.AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RIGHT FRONT IMPACT SENSOR WAS CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I FELT THAT THIS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD COVER THE COST OF REPAIR. I CALLED G.M. AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE AND THE SALT AIR IN MY AREA CAUSED THE CORROSION AND G.M WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE. I TOLD THE PERSON THAT I WAS TALKING TO THAT APPARENTLY G.M. M,UST BE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM IF THEY KNOW THAT THE SALT AIR CORRODES THE SENSORS. FURTHERMORE I MENTIONED THE FACT THAT SINCE THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLE INFLATE WHILE DRIVING AND POSSIBLY CAUSE THE DRIVER TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD OR INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THUS CAUSING DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FILE NUMBER (71-1127296694) AND TOLD THE MATTER WOULD BE INVESTIGATED. I LATER RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM A G.M. REP. WHO SAID HE LOOKED INTO MY COMPLAINT AND SINCE IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE G.M. WAS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I THEN STATED TO HIM THAT I WAS AWARE THAT CHRYSLER RECENTLY HAD A RECALL OF VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE AIRBAG SENSORS WERE CORRODING. I WAS TOLD THAT G.M. HAD NO SUCH RECALL. MY ARGUMENT IS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE CORRODED SENSORS COULD MALFUNCTION AND CAUSE THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY THUS CAUSING THE DRIVER TO SWERVE AND POTENTIALLY GET INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER CORP. MUST HAVE REALIZED THIS BECAUSE THEY HAD A RECALL. G.M.DOES NOT SEEM TO CARE AND IS APPARENTLY WAITING UNTIL THERE ARE SERIOUS ACCIDENTS AND THEY ARE FORCED TO RECALL VEHICLES.I ALSO WONDER IF G.M. AND CHRYSLER USE THE SAME VENDOR TO PURCHASE THE SENSORS. MOST LIKELY THEY DO AS THERE ARE PROBABLY NOT MANY COMPANY'S THAT MANUFACTURE THEM. I FEEL THIS IS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SITUATION PLUS THE FACT THAT ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURER RECOGNIZED THE PROBLEM PERHAPS YOUR AGENCY SHOULD INVESTIGATE. *TR

AIR BAGS
RAILROAD HYRAIL VEHICLE EQUIPPED, AFTER MARKET, WITH HYRAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLIES WHICH ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO OPERATE ON RAILROAD TRACKS. ONCE HYRAIL (FLANGED) WHEELS ARE RETRACTED, THE VEHICLE IS OPERATED OVER THE HIGHWAYS AND PUBLIC ROADS LIKE ANY OTHER VEHICLE. ON 7/27/12 NEAR EAGLE NEST, AZ A RAILROAD EMPLOYEE WAS OPERATING VEHICLE ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS WHEN IT STRUCK A STANDING TRAIN AT 38 MPH. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND RAIL EMPLOYEE WAS KILLED. CONCERN IS THAT THE INSTALLATION OF HYRAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLIES MIGHT BE IMPACTING THE AIRBAG SENSOR. THE HYRAIL WHEEL ASSEMBLIES EXTEND APPROX. ONE FOOT OF STEEL FRAMEWORK AHEAD OF THE FRONT AND REAR BUMPERS. THE PLACEMENT OF THESE ASSEMBLIES MIGHT INADVERTENTLY BE AFFECTING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IN CRASHES ON THE RAILROAD TRACK AND ON PUBLIC ROADS. *TR

ENGINE
TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT A EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT WAS BROKEN. VEHICLE WARRANTY HAD JUST EXPIRED AND REPAIR WOULD BE ABOUT 900.00. I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR GM PRODUCT. THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL. THIS BEING AN EMISSIONS ISSUE WILL CAUSE MY VEHICLE TO FAIL THE EMISSIONS TEST AND COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE EXHAUST IN THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. *TR
