DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS STARTED WHEN THE TRUCK HAD 40,000 MILES ON IT, IT NOW HAS 60.000. IF I WOULD HAVE AN ACCIDENT WOULD THE DASH FLY TO PIECES AND INJURY OCCUPANTS?

ON OUR 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 LT 4X4 Z71, THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED SO BADLY WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS, THAT IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, PLASTIC SHRAPNEL IS GOING TO GO FLYING, WHICH COULD INJURE OR POSSIBLY KILL SOMEONE. ON THE FLIPSIDE; THE AIRBAG MAY NOT EVEN DEPLOY DUE TO THE DAMAGED DASHBOARD. IN EITHER CASE, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE, DESPITE NOW THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS TAHOES, SUBURBANS, AND (ALL CHEVY & GMC TRUCKS & SUV'S 2007 AND NEWER) HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS TO CHEVY AND GM, AND THEM BEING EXTREMELY RUDE AND IN DENIAL; THE BEST THEY CAN DO IS TO REPLACE THE DASH FOR A PRICE OF $200-500, WHICH WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR, AS GM SHOULD STAND BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES AFTER CHARGING THE PRICES THEY DO. IN THE MEANTIME, WE DON'T FEEL SAFE EVEN DRIVING OUR TRUCK DOWN THE STREET. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND NEEDS TO BE AN URGENT RECALL, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED! THERE ARE MESSAGE BOARDS, FACEBOOK PAGES, AND TWITTER ACCOUNTS ALL SET UP JUST FOR FRUSTRATED CHEVY & GMC CUSTOMERS HAVING THE CRACKED DASHBOARD AND AIRBAG ISSUE, SO PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM, NHTSA. SINCE GM REFUSES TO HELP IT'S THOUSANDS OF SCARED CUSTOMERS, WE PRAY YOU WILL HELP TO STOP THIS MADNESS. *TR

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LINES 2008 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH ALLISON TRANSMISSION. FACTORY TRANSMISSION LINES LEAK AND MUST BE REPLACED. WHEN THE WEATHER TURNS COLD, THE LINES/CRIMPS HOLDING THE RUBBER HOSE TO THE PIPES FAIL AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID IS LOST, SOMETIMES IN CATASTROPHIC MANNER, CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE PROPULSION. REPORTS OF FAILURE ARE EXTREMELY COMMON, AND IT IS NOT UNUSUAL, THAT THE LINES MAY HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES WITHIN THE 1ST 50,000 MILES. GM HAS ISSUED 'NEW, UPDATED' PARTS, BUT THEY ARE NO BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL PARTS. THE NEW PART NUMBERS ARE 20759971, 20759972, 20759973. WILE REPAIR IS COVERED ON THE 36K BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, THERE IS NO COVERAGE ON THE 100K WARRANTY. GM SHOULD REPLACE THE LINES FREE OF CHARGE FOR THE 1ST 100K MILES WITH A HOSE THAT WILL NOT FAIL. CONSUMERS CAN TAKE THE ORIGINAL GM LINE TO A HYDRAULIC SHOP, HAVE THE RUBBER PORTION OF THE LINES REPLACED WITH STANDARD HYDRAULIC HOSE SUITABLE FOR ATF FLUID AND THERE ARE NO FURTHER FAILURES. IF CONSUMERS CAN FIX THE LINES, PERHAPS GM CAN FIND A SOLUTION. *TR

POWER DOOR LOCKS ON DRIVERS SIDE HAVE STOPPED WORKING. THERE ARE 1,000'S OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS. *TR

I HAVE OWNED MY 2008 SUBURBAN FOR 6 YEARS. THE DASH BOARD IS COMPLETELY BROKEN IN DIFFERENT PARTS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW A BRAND NEW VEHICLE AT 5 YEARS CAN POSSIBLE HAVE THE DASH BOARD BREAK LIKE THAT. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED CHEVROLET BUT WAS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED AS TO HOW THE DASH BOARD IS BROKEN THE WAY IT IS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEEK HELP REPLACING IT SINCE I PLAN TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE FOR A LONG TIME. MY TEENAGE GIRLS WILL BE GETTING THERE VEHICLE IN A YEAR I HAVE TOLD MY HUSBAND THERE IS NO WAY I WILL EVERY BUY CHEVROLET AGAIN. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF EXPLANATION FOR THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, ALMA CARDENAS. *TR

I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO GET MY AIRBAG REPLACED FOR MANY YEARS! EVERY TIME I CHECK I AM TOLD NO PARTS AVAILABLE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 25,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 28,000. *TR

BOTH DRIVERS DOOR AND PASSENGER DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING. THEY DON'T WORK WITH KEY FOB, THEY DON'T LOCK OR UNLOCK WHEN THE TRUCK IS PUT IN DRIVE OR WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED OFF AND THEY DON'T WORK WITH THE LOCK SWITCH ON THE DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SEEMS THE 2008 IS A BAD YEAR FOR THESE ACTUATORS AND GM SHOULD RECALL. THEY KNOW THEY WERE BAD. *TR

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND BREAKING APART SURROUNDING AIRBAG. COULD CAUSE PLASTIC SHRAPNEL BEING THROWN IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY TRUCK WAS PARKED WITH ME AND MY WIFE SITTING IN IT. IT WAS CRUNK AND WHEN IT HAPPENED IT WAS VERY VIOLENT CAUSING US TO WORRY THAT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY AND CAUSE INJURY TO SOMEONE.

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES. STARTED OUT SMALL AND ARE GETTING LARGER AS TIME GOES ON. MY POWER WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS HAVE NOT WORKED ON THE VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2012

THE DRIVERS DOOR ELECTRIC LOCK STOPPED WORKING, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS THE FACTORY SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, THE TRACTION STABILITY LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH BRAKE LIGHT. THE DOOR LOCKS ACTIVATED AND ALL DASH BACKLIGHTING WENT OUT. AFTER SHUTTING OFF ENGINE, ALL ELECTRICAL POWER SHUT OFF TO INCLUDE THE CLOCK ON THE RADIO. I CHECKED BATTERY CONNECTIONS AND AFTER WIGGLING THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE, THE POWER CAME ON. THE CLOCK WAS SET TO 12:00, AND THE A/C WAS RESET TO 74. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT. AFTER SEVERAL INCIDENTS, MY TRUCK ACTUALLY STALLED IN AN INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO STOP IN THE ROAD TO ADJUST THE BATTERY CABLE. I HAVE HAD APPROXIMATELY 20 INCIDENTS OF SIMILAR NATURE, EACH TIME WITH INCREASING SYMPTOMS. AT ONE POINT, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR THE A/C OVERHEATING CAME ON. ALSO, THE BATTERY AND CABLES BECOME EXTREMELY HOT, AND STAY HOT AFTER ENGINE SHUTDOWN FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL THE CABLE IS READJUSTED. I HAVE READ SEVERAL FORUMS LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION, AND HAVE CONCLUDED THE MOST LIKELY SOURCE IS A FAILING POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE. IN THE FORUMS, IT SEEMS THAT THE CABLE WAS REDESIGNED IN 2007, AND HAS AFFECTED ALL VEHICLES THROUGH 2013. THIS POSES A THREAT TO OVERHEATING BATTERY CONNECTIONS WHICH COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, AND THREAT OF A VEHICLE COLLISION. *TR

3 OF 4 DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE FAILED. CALLED CHEVY AND HAD ME BRING TO DEALERSHIP TO HAVE TESTED AND DEALERSHIP DID CONFIRM THAT WAS ACTUATORS. CHEVY NOT WILLING TO COVER COST OF REPLACING FAULTY PARTS. I AM UNABLE TO USE DOOR LOCKS ON 3 OF MY 4 DOORS. *TR

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 10/5/12 NEAR NEWCASTLE, WY A RAILROAD EMPLOYEE WAS OPERATING VEHICLE ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS WHEN IT STRUCK STANDING EQUIPMENT AT APPROX 15 MPH. AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND RAIL EMPLOYEE WAS INJURED. 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

DASH CRACKED AT PASSENGER AIR BAG. *TR

WHILE TOWING A 5TH WHEEL TRAILER IN 98 DEGREE HEAT, THE VEHICLE WENT INTO REDUCED POWER MODE. THE VEHICLE TURBO WAS DIAGNOSED AS THE PROBLEMS WITH THE VARIABLE VANES LOCKING IN POSITION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A KNOWN CONDITION WITH THE DURAMAX LMM ENGINE. ON THE OPEN HIGHWAY PULLING A TRAILER THIS CREATES A HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER AND OTHER TRAFFIC AS THE SUDDEN LOSS OF SPEED IS UNEXPECTED. WARRANTY WAS DENIED ALTHOUGH THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. *TR

CRACKED CHEVROLET DASH FLAPS WHEN WINDOWS ROLLED DOWN CREATING VISIBLE DISTRACTION VERY SIMILAR TO ATTACHED PICTURE CHEVROLET KNOWS THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR THEIR 2007-2014 MODELS AND APPARENTLY WON'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS COMPELLED TO BY A REGULATORY BODY. IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT I WILL MAKE SURE TO ADVISE OF WHAT CAUSED THE DISTRACTION. THIS IS NOT ONLY AN EYESORE BUT IT IS ALSO INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. WHO MAKES NEW VEHICLES WITH ALL THE EMISSIONS STANDARDS AND THEN SKIMPS ON THE DASH? THIS IS SUCH A PROBLEM THERE IS A FACEBOOK GROUP WITH 6,825 MEMBERS AND YOU CAN DO FIND IT BY SEARCHING.

MY DASH HAS CRACKS IN MANY PLACES THAT STARTED WITHIN 6 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. IT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. HOWEVER WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS THEY'RE THREE LOCATED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE? IF MY AIRBAG INFLATES THE DASH COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG OR PIECES CAN BE THROWN TOWARD THE PASSENGER OR EVEN THE DRIVER. IF YOU SEARCH GM CRACKED DASH YOU WILL FIND ENDLESS ARTICLES AND VIDEOS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY TEENAGE SON WHO I WOULD DEFINITELY WANT THE AIRBAGS TO WORK PROPERLY AND NOT GET PUNCTURED WHEN INFLATED DURING A CRASH. ALSO AS STATED BY MANY OTHERS WE DON'T HAVE A $1000 + TO SPEND ON A DASH THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER CRACKED IN THE FIRST PLACE.
