AIR BAGS
DASH IS CRACKING NEXT TO AIRBASE ON PASSENGER SIDE AND ADDITIONALLY NEXT TO INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. MULTIPLE CASES HAVE BEEN REPORTED OF THIS (DEALER SAID IT IS TYPICAL). SOME REPORTS ARE AT 80% OF THE DASHES CRACK IN THIS AREA. WE ARE AT 100%. MY WIFE'S 2009 CHEVY TAHOE IS CRACKED IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE. IN HER CASE, THE AIRBAG MECHANISM IS POPPING OUT OF THE DASH. SHOULD IT NEED TO DEPLOY, IT CANNOT AS DESIGNED. BOTH VEHICLES HAVE BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND NO CHEMICAL USED ON THE DASH. IN THE CASE OF THE GMC SIERRA, IT ONLY HAS 66K MILES ON IT AND HAS NEVER BEEN OFF ROAD. DEALER AND GM HAVE REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. REPAIR COST 1,200. I AM TAKING THE TAHOE IN NEXT WEEK FOR REPAIR DUE TO MY SAFETY CONCERNS FOR MY WIFE.

ENGINE
AT 80000 MY TRUCK IS GOING THROUGH 4 TO 6 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN OIL CHANGES. AS A MASTER TECHNICIAN THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE POOREST EXCUSE FOR ENGINEERING I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS WITH THIS AFM SYSTEM THEY HAVE. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE LOST AN ENGINE BY 100000 MILES. WITH TODAYS TECHNOLOGY THAT'S A BAD JOKE ON THE CONSUMER. WITH SHORTER INTERVALS AND SOME ADDITIVE'S I HAVE MANAGED TO GET TO 1 QT EVERY 1900 MILES AND THAT'S AS GOOD AS IT GETS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
MY TRUCK DIED IN TRAFFIC BUT I WAS ABLE TO GET STARTED AND HOME (2 MILES). MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND I AM READING A CODE U0191, WHICH REFERS TO THE FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE. I HAD TO PURCHASE A BATTERY BECAUSE I HAD A BATTERY DRAINING ISSUE AND WAS HAVING TO JUMP IT IF IT SAT FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. MY TRUCK WILL NOT START AT THIS TIME. AFTER DOING SOME CHECKING, BOTH MY FUEL PUMP AND FUEL FLOW MODULE FUSES ARE HOT EVEN WITH THE TRUCK IGNITION OFF. WHICH WOULD INDICATE A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM. AFTER SOME RESEARCH , I FOUND A SAFETY RECALL THAT DESCRIBES THE EXACT ISSUE BUT MY VIN DOESN'T COME UP IN THE RECALL. RECALL BULLETIN # 14515B . I GUESS WHAT I AM ASKING IS WHY WASN'T MY VEHICLE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? APPARENTLY THIS IS AFFECTING MORE VEHICLES THAT WHAT THE RECALL INCLUDED.
