THE DASH PANELS ON THE TOP OF THE DASH BOARD HAVE COMPLETELY BROKEN I FEEL THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. PIECES OF THE DASH COULD POSSIBLY BECOME A HAZARD AND INJURE MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY CHEVROLET VEHICLES

CRACKING IDENTIFIED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE DASH OF THE TRUCK. DISCOVERED WHEN REPLACING TRUCK WINDSHIELD. CRACKING ALSO SEEN ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF DASH.

#09184 AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND MESSAGE SERVICE AIRBAGS IS ON.

MAJOR OIL CONSUMPTION BURNED 4QTS BETWEEN OIL CHANGES TRUCK HAS THE 5.3L V8 NOT TO IMPRESSED DUE TO THE FACT IT ONLY HAS 75000 MILES ON IT

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 SILVERADO AT 33,000 MILES I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE #7 CYLINDER WAS NOT WORKING. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE AFM FOR THE 5.3 LITER ENGINES HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. HALF OF THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CARBON BUILT UP INSIDE THE ENGINE. AGAIN AT 78,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS TO AND DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP AND A ENGINE SOAK WAS PERFORMED ALONG WITH SPLASH GUARDS ADDED TO THE VALVE COVERS TO KEEP THE ENGINE OIL FROM ESCAPING AS THE AFM WAS OPEARTIONAL. AT 98,000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, AT 140,000 MILES THE WATER PUMP, CRANK SHAFT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REBUILD THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MILEAGE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3,000 MILES AND STARTED USING FULL SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL SINCE MY ENGINE ISSUES AT 33,000 MILES. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE WITH THE AFM AND CONTINUES TO DO NOTHING. I CONTACT GM CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY STATED THAT MY TRUCK HASN'T BEEN SEEN AT A DEALERSHIP IN OVER A YEAR, THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE COST OF REPLACING THE ENGINE. BUT, THEY WILL GIVE ME A $1,000 CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW VEHILCE. INSTEAD OF FIXING THE PROBLEM, GM JUST TURNS THERE HEADS ON THE ENGINE PROBLEMS AND EXPECTS YOU TO PAY FOR A NEW GM VEHICLE. GM STAND BEHIND YOUR PRODUCT!!!!

PURCHASED USED VEHICLE FROM DEALER (DANIELS CHEVROLET, BUICK, GMC TRUCKS, INC. SWAINSBORO, GA) AND AFTER SALE DISCOVERED EMISSION SYSTEM WAS DISABLED AND DPF (DIESEL PARTICULATE FILTER) HAD BEEN PHYSICALLY REMOVED; PROBABLY BY PREVIOUS OWNER.

FUEL LEAKING/SPRAYING OUT OF THE REAR AUXILIARY FUEL TANK. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I OBSERVED THE RAW FUEL WAS COMING OUT OF THE FUEL MODULE CONNECTING FUEL LINE. THE METAL FUEL LINE SITS IN A WELL OF THE REAR TANK AND WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH DIRT/MOISTURE/RAW FUEL. THE TANK WAS REMOVED AND WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE METAL PORTION OF THE FUEL MODULE METAL PIPING WAS RUSTED THRU AND THAT WAS WHERE THE RAW FUEL WAS BEING SPRAYED/POOLING IN THE WELL AREA. THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK & MODULE CREATES A PERFECT LOCATION FOR DIRT/MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE. ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FIRE AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. THE REMOVED ORIGINAL FUEL MODULE WAS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE ROTTED METAL PORTION OF THE MODULE. I REPLACED THE ROTTED FUEL MODULE WITH A NEW GM OEM FUEL MODULE. THIS NEW MODULE HAS THE SAME EXACT CONSTRUCTION AS THE ORIGINAL PART. SINCE THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY TO CLEAN OR KEEP CLEAN THE WELL AREA OF THE TANK, I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE NEW OEM PART WILL DETERIORATE IN THE SAME MANNER. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 34000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE CONDITION OCCURRED. SINCE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THE NEW MODULE COSTS FOR LABOR AND PARTS WAS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00. IN CONCLUSION I THINK THIS MATTER SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER BECAUSE IT IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY HAZARD INVOLVING RAW FUEL BEING EJECTED FROM THE FUEL TANK UNDER PRESSURE WHILE THE PUMP IS RUNNING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

WAS TOLD BY DEALER THAT IMPACT SENSOR WAS BAD. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT. HERE THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. SOUNDS LIKE GM IS USING A DEFECTIVE PART. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 20,000 MILES. COSTING ME $330 FOR REPAIR. CAN YOU CHECK INTO THIS ?

I GOT THIS TRUCK USED AT 94K MILES ON IT. IT WAS STILL IN STANDARD WARRANTY. I GOT THE OIL CHANGED STARTED GETTING THAT CLICKING/KNOCKING NOISE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THAT DID THE OIL CHANGED. THEY LOOKED INTO AND TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY ENGINES IS THE VALVE LIFTERS BREAK AND NEEDS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CAMS. IF I DRIVE TOO MUCH A POSSIBILITY TO ADD SHAVINGS INTO THE MOTOR AND TEAR IT UP. QUOTES FROM 3 DIFFERENT FRIEND RECOMMEND AUTO SHOPS FROM ALL OF THEM TO GET A NEW ENGINE OR GET RID OF THE TRUCK. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT. SO CAN'T DO THAT. I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME AT ALL. I WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND GOOD LUCK. THAT SUCKS! I DID MAKE A SCENE TO THEM IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS. SINCE THEN I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH FINDING OUT THIS IS VERY MUCH A PROBLEM IN ALL CHEVY ENGINES DATING BACK TO 06. THE AFM, EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. AT ONE POINT CHEVY DID DO A RECALL FOR A YEAR IN 07-08. FOR THIS PROBLEM. BUT NOT FOR ANY OTHER YEARS I CAN FIND. IF THEY KNEW/KNOW OF THIS PROBLEM WHY NOT SOLVE IT? I HAVE TO FIX THIS TRUCK ITS MY DAILY DRIVER AND WORK VEHICLE. TOTAL HATING CHEVY RIGHT NOW AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY LOVE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT REDUCED ENGINE POWER WAS DISPLAYED ACROSS THE MESSAGE BOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. UPDATED 5/29/15*CN UPDATED 9/29/2017*CN

I HAVE A 2009 CHEVY PICKUP AND EVERY TIME YOU PUT THE BRAKES ON THE TAILLIGHTS COME ON BUT THEY WONT GO OFF WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE PEDEL.NOW I'V CHANGED OUT THE SWITCH UNDER THE DASH 3 TIMES STILL THEY DO THE SAME THING SO I WENT BACK TO THE OLD SWITCH. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TELL ME PLEASE I NOTICE I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS THIS PROMBLEM???????????

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ABOVE THE AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE RADIO. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 60,000 MILES AND ACCORDING TO CHEVROLET IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF I AM IN A WRECK THE DASH COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG OR EVEN ANOTHER PASSENGER.

THE BRAKE SYSTEM WENT OUT. THE DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY, BECAUSE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS THE SECOND 2009 WITH BRAKE PROBLEMS. ....UPDATED 04/02/15 *BF

LOCKS STARTED LOCKING/UNLOCKING. GEAR INDICATOR WAS GOING FROM DRIVE TO PARK. HEAT CAME ON BY ITSELF AND FAN WENT FROM HIGH TO LOW. SPEEDOMETER WENT FROM 70MPH TO 55 MPH WITH LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. HEADLIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF. AFTER PULLING OFF I-75 AND GETTING TO A SAFE STOPPING AREA THE TRUCK WOULD NOT START AFTER TURNING THE ENGINE OFF. THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FELT EXTREMELY HOT: ESPECIALLY THE BATTERY. AFTER 10 MINUTES, THE TRUCK WAS ABLE TO START AND CONTINUE THE REST OF THE TRIP. AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON VARIOUS CHEVY FORUMS AND CAR MESSAGE BOARDS. REPLACING THE MEGA FUSE AND BATTERY CABLES APPEARS TO SOLVE THE MAJORITY OF THE ISSUES AS IT DID IN MY CASE. THE DEFECTIVE MEGA FUSE AND BATTERY CABLES CAUSED THE EXCESSIVE VOLTAGE THROUGH THE CABLES, CAUSING EXTREME HEAT WHICH RESULTED IN SCORCH MARKS ON THE TERMINAL ENDS OF THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE INSULATION OF THE CABLES CHANGING COLOR AS WELL AS THE ABOVE ISSUES. I AM VERY GRATEFUL THAT AN ELECTRICAL FIRE DIDN'T HAPPEN WHICH I BELIEVE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN THE CASE. *TR
