2008 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

I HAVE HAD THE 4TH DOOR LOCK FAIL AGAIN AND OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL FROM GM AND THEY REFUSE TO FIX A KNOWN ISSUE. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. ONE IS LOCATED BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. ANOTHER IS LOCATED NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE ONE NEAR THE AIRBAG IS PARTICULARLY WORRISOME. IN THE EVENT THAT THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY, JAGGED PIECES OF PLASTIC COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG OR BE PROPELLED AT THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT OR CRASH. THESE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD SIMPLY APPEARED OVER TIME AND APPEAR TO BE VERY COMMON AMONG CHEVY TRUCKS IN THE MODEL YEARS OF 2007-2013. I CHECKED ONLINE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF INTERNET POSTS/FORUMS DISCUSSING THIS PROBLEM. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR FIXING THIS DEFECT.

I WAS DRIVING ON A STATE HIGHWAY AND EXPERIENCED A BLOWOUT FROM ONE OF MY HANKOOK TIRES MODEL DYNAPRO AS TIRES. SEVERE BODY DAMAGE ALL ALONG THE LEFT SIDE OF MY TRUCK WAS THE RESULT OF THIS ACCIDENT, AS I WAS PULLED INTO A CONCRETE MEDIAN BARRIER. *TR

WHEN APPLYING BRAKES GOING DOWN A MOUNTAINS, THE FRONT END STARTED SHAKING, IT SEEMED LIKE THE FRONT END WAS FALLING OUT. .I HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED OUT, THE FIRST TIME GM HAD THE ROTARS TURNED THEY SAID THEY WERE WARPED. THIS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES AND IT HAPPENS WHEN I TRAVEL TO TN OR VA OR WEST VA. THESE LAST 2 TIMES I HAD IT FIXED AT MY EXPENSE. I FINALLY HAD NEW ROTARS REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE . I MADE A TRIP TO FL . AND HAD TO GO THROUGH TN , WHICH IS UP AND DOWN MOUNTAINS. ;AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN WITH THE BRAKES. IT WAS 1 YEAR OLD THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED. IT WAS TAKEN TO GM DEALER THE FIRST 2 TIMES. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 63000 MILES ON IT. AND THE ONLY THING IN THE TRUCK IS MY WIFE AND I AND THE DOG AND OUR CLOTHES. *JS

MY TRUCK STAYED PARKED FOR 10 DAYS WHILE ON VACATION. IT WAS RUNNING FINE WHEN I PARKED IT. UPON RETURNING FROM VACATION I TRIED TO START IT AND NOTHING! IT WONT EVEN TRY TO TURN OVER.

BOTH AIR BAG SENSORS UNDERNEATH THE RADIATOR HAVE DETERIORATED AND CRACKED IN HALF. *TR

MY GAUGES ARE GOING HAYWIRE...WHILE I'M RIDING ON THE ROAD...MY TRUCK DONT START SOMETIMES AND ALSO MY ALARM DONT WORK...

MAJOR CRACK ON INTERIOR DASHBOARD. COMPANY (GM) REFUSES TO ISSUE RECALL.

DASH STARTING CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG THREE YEARS AGO AND IS NOW CRACKING IN TWO MORE PLACES ABOVE THE RADIO. GM REFUSES TO MAKE ANY EFFORT TO HELP WITH THE OUTRAGEOUS COST OF REPAIRING THIS DEFECT. I HAVE GREAT CONCERNS ABOUT SHARDS OF PLASTIC FLYING IN CAB FROM THE RECALLED TOKATA AIR BAGS THAT ARE IN THIS VEHICLE THAT I AM STILL WAITING ON GM TO COME UP WITH A REPLACEMENT FOR.

THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. WHEN I TAKE THE TRUCK TO CHEVY DEALER THEY SAY THERE IS NO SOLUTION TO FIX PROBLEM AND OUT OF LUCK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN MOMENTARILY AND CAME BACK. THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD WENT DARK, HEADLIGHTS TURNED OFF, DOOR LOCKS CYCLED UP AND DOWN, AND RADIO TURNED OFF AND BACK ON. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS BATTERY CABLES NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AS THERE WAS HIGH RESISTANCE. SEARCHING ONLINE FOR SIMILAR STATEMENTS SHOWS THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS IT COULD CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WORKING WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE ON THIS, THEY WILL NOT PAY FOR THE REPAIRS WHICH TOTALED $478.95. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD FAIL AFTER LESS THAN 5 YEARS. PLEASE SEE THESE LINKS FOR OTHERS COMPLAINING OF SAME ISSUE.

WENT TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND THE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN OR THE WINDOW WOULDN'T ROLL DOWN...........SEEMS VERY UNSAFE............IN CASE OF A FIRE OR ACCIDENT I COULDN'T UNLOCK THE DOOR FOR MY PASSENGER OR ROLL DOWN THE WINDOW. *TR

MY REAR PASSENGER DOOR DOES NOT LOCK/UNLOCK. HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING 70 MPH. THIS IS ALSO A SECURITY ISSUE. I CAN LOCK THE VEHICLE WITH THE KEY FOB ONLY TO LEARN THAT THE REAR DOOR WILL NOT LOCK. IF I LOCK IT MANUALLY, THEN IT WILL NOT OPEN WITH THE KEY FOB. THIS IS A HUGE INCONVENIENCE, I HAVE TO UNLOCK IT MANUALLY. THE DEALER STATED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. INTERNET RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!!! *TR

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LIKE MANY OTHERS I HAVE A CRACKED DASHBOARD. ONE OF THEM IS A SMALL CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ANOTHER MUCH LARGER ONE IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE GAUGES. I'VE ALWAYS KEPT MY DASHBOARD COVERED WHEN IT WAS PARKED WITH A COVER THAT GOES ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD AND USED A PRODUCT PROTECT AND KEEP THE DASHBOARD NEW. TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM IMPROPERLY PLACED SCREWS AND CLASPS OR POSSIBLY AN INFERIOR MATERIAL FOR THE DASHBOARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING UPHILL AT APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE ENGINE POWER REDUCED AS THE VEHICLE DECELERATED TO 25 MPH WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF A WARNING INDICATOR. THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED UPON RESTARTING. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO HIS DESTINATION AND POWERED THE VEHICLE OFF HOWEVER, ONCE THE AUTO START SWITCH WAS ACTIVATED THE VEHICLE RESUMED NORMALLY WITH THE ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,379.

CRACK ON THE DASH FROM THE AIR BAG TO THE DEFROST VENT. *TR

EXHAUST BOLTS BROKEN THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM CAUSES EXHAUST TO LEAK AND ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

THERE WAS A VERY STRONG GASOLINE SMELL WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING. WHILE LOOKING FOR THE SOURCE, I NOTICED FUEL SPRAYING OUT UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE THAT WAS LEAKING. I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A DEIGN FLAW, A DEFECT IN THE PART OR POOR WORKMANSHIP, BUT IT COULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IF THE FUEL HAD IGNITED, WHICH WAS POSSIBLE WITH THE PRESSURE AND VOLUME OF THE LEAK. IT WAS REPLACED WITHOUT CHARGE DUE TO IT BEING A "SAFETY FACTOR". THE TRUCK IS NOT DRIVEN IN EXTREME CONDITIONS. I HAD NOT RUN OVER ANYTHING, AND CANNOT THINK OF ANY REASON FOR THE FUEL LINE TO RUPTURE. *TR

CHIMES--ANY WARNING CHIMES-- CAN NOT BE HEARD AT ALL,SPEAKERS DO NOT WORK,NO WARNING CHIMES CAN BE HEARD AT ALL.KEYS LEFT IN THE IGNITION,TURN SIGNALS ON ,LIGHTS LEFT ON,SEAT BELT WARNING,DOOR OPEN,NOTHING--THEN,DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER,HOT AND DRY,THEY MAY WORK,THE RADIO MAY PLAY,WINTER TIME--NOTHING---SUMMER TIME,SPORADIC BUT FOR THE MOST PART--NOTHING. .TWO YEARS NOW.DON'T MATTER IF GOING OR SITTING STILL,ANY WHERE,JUST NOTHING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED.

WHEN THE VEHICLE TRAVELED THROUGH WATER (CAR WASH OR LARGE PUDDLES), IT AFFECTED THE AIR BAG SENSORS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000. UPDATED 05/09/17*LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN EXHAUST LEAK.

SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND OFF A FEW TIMES OVER 2 DAYS AND IS NOW ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. *TR

ENGINE LOST POWER, RATTLING BADLY. AFTER STOPPING, ENGINE WAS STILL RUNNING, BUT HAD NO POWER AND RATTLED LIKE A LIFTER BLEW. TOWED TO DEALER, WHERE THEY DETERMINED THAT THE CAMSHAFT BLEW AND DAMAGED #7 LIFTER. THE TECH SAID IT WAS A "MATERIALS DEFECT/FAILURE". 1.5 MONTHS OUT OF POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. GM IS GIVING ME GRIEF OVER TAKING CARE OF THE $3000.00 REPAIR BILL. THEY ARE OFFERING ONLY $1800.00, BUT A MATERIALS DEFECT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF BY THE MANUFACTURER. TRUCK ONLY HAS 63000 + MILES ON IT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS THREE MAJOR CRACKS IN IT. TWO AROUND THE AIR BAG AND ONE ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN.

I PURCHASED MY 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB BACK IN 20011. IT HAD APPROX. 70,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE. A FEW MONTHS AGO I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY VEHICLE. I COULD LOCK THE DOORS BUT NOT UNLOCK THEM. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, MY DRIVERS SIDE SPEAKER WENT OUT COMPLETELY. I AM ALSO UNABLE TO MOVE THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE MIRRORS IN ALL DIRECTIONS WHEN THEY NEED TO BE ADJUSTED. MY CRUISE CONTROL ALSO HAS RECENTLY STARTED WORKING OFF AND ON. MY PASSENGER SIDE SPEAKER HAS JUST RECENTLY STARTED GOING IN AND OUT. MY LEFT TURN SIGNAL WORKS BUT DOESN'T MAKE ANY NOISE WHEN IT IS TURNED ON. *TR
