2012 Chevrolet Silverado Complaint Log

JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD ONE DAY AND THE ABS, TRACTION CONTROL, AND STABLITRAK TURNED OFF. LIGHTS CAME ON, ON THE DASH SAYING SERVICE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON AND THE LIGHTS TURNED OFF AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE, BUT WITHIN 30 MINUTES IT COMES BACK ON. USUALLY COMES ON WHEN NORMAL BRAKING (NOT HARD) YOU CAN FEEL THE ABS LOCK UP AND THE LIGHTS COME ON SAYING TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF AND ABS IS OFF. SOME DAYS THE LIGHTS COME ON AS SOON AS YOU START THE TRUCK IN THE MORNING AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T COME ON AT ALL. NEVER HAD THE TRUCK OFF ROAD, ON ROAD USE ONLY, TRUCK IS STOCK AND HAS NOT BEEN LIFTED YET. I WASH THE TRUCK EVERY 2 WEEKS, AND THE TRUCK ONLY HAD ABOUT 38XXX MILES ON IT WHEN THIS HAPPENED AND STILL IS HAPPENING. THE DATE REPORTED WAS AN ESTIMATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR A COUPLE MONTHS

SEVERELY CRACKED DASH. COULD SHATTER IN A CRASH AND SEND SHROUDS OF PLASTIC THROUGH OUT THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT.

GOT TRUCK 1-25-16 WITH 49066 MILES NOW 9-12-2018 HAS 94000 USE'S OIL BETWEEN CHANGES. I ALWAYS CHANGE WHEN OIL LIFE MONITOR SAYS 10% LIFE LEFT USE AC DELCO DEXOS OIL DOESN'T LEAK OR SMOKE . I TRADED IN A 1999 SILVERADO WITH 201000 MILES IT USED NO OIL.GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AS I HEAR IT HAPPENS TO FAR TO MANY TRUCKS WITH THE 5.3 ENGINE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE IDLED ROUGHLY AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER (PUNENTE HILLS CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 17300 E GALE AVE CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA 91748 888-202-3593) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE COVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,099.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKING BY THE AIR BAG AND ABOVE THE GAUGE CLUSTER, IF AIR BAG COMES OUT AFRAID FOR FAMILY FOR FLYING PLASTIC PIECES NOTICED ONE WHILE GETTING IN TRUCK ONLY HAS 49,000 MILES ON IT AIR BAG LEFT FORWARD CORNER BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEAR NOW NOTICED RIGHT SIDE CORNER AND THE ABOVE THE DASH LAST WEEKEND 5/20/17

DASHBOARD SEVERLY CRACKED GM WILL NOT FIX

DASH IS CRACKED IN MANY PLACES. VEHICLE HAS 113K MILES WAS BOUGHT THAT WAY IN MAY OF 17 WITH DASH CRACKED AT 104K MILES

I HEARD A VIBRATION NOISE COMING FROM MY DASHBOARD FOR OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKING FROM THE FORWARD END RUNNING AFT TOWARD THE STEERING WHEEL. I RESEARCH THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND LEARNED THIS MAY BE A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIR BAG IS INFLATED. I HEARD THE VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I STOPPED I NOTICED THE CRACKING PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD ON PASSENGERS SIDE HAS TWO CRACKS ABOVE THE AIRBAG.

THE SILVERADO DASH MELTS AND CRACKS. ON THEIR SITE THERE IS A STATEMENT THAT THE CRACKS CAN BREAK LOOSE AND CAUSE INJURIES BUT THE RECALL WAS DISCONTINUED. THE PASSENGER SEAT LEAKS FUEL AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THAT. VEHICLES ARE VERY NOISY, WE HAVE TO TALK LOUD OR TURN THE RADIO UP TO HEAR. I MOTION AND STATIONARY. PURCHASED NEW IN 2012. THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES AND THE DEALER AND THE COMPANY'S HEADQUARTERS STATED THEY ARE KNOWN ISSUES BUT THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS AND WOULD NOT REPLACE OR GIVE ANY DISCOUNT IN FIXING THE DEFECTS. I HAVE TALKED TO THE HEADQUARTERS DOWN TO THE LOCAL DEALERS AND NO RESOLUTION.

I HAVE A 2012 SILVERADO THAT HAD AN ENGINE LIGHT GO ON. TOOK TO THE DEALER (CARBONE CHEVY, YORKVILLE NY) THE PROBLEM WAS AN AIR LEAK IN THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE FIX, REPLACE GAS TANK AND SENDING UNIT, $900. I ASKED ABOUT THE WARRANTY, AND I WAS TOLD PAST MILEAGE, I'M AT 39000. I DIDN'T BELIEVE THIS COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT A 4-YEAR-OLD TRUCK COULD ROT OUT SO SOON THAT THERE MUST BE A PROBLEM WITH THESE TANKS. I CALLED GM TO ASK, AND THE WOMAN COULD NOT HAVE CARED LESS JUST LISTEN TO ME COMPLAIN AND SAID SHE WOULD CALL THE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP TO CONTACT ME. THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN. ALSO SAID THAT THE CORROSION WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER TANKS AND IT'S UP TO ME TO PAY FOR THIS. I SPENT $36000 ON THIS TRUCK AND DIDN'T HAVE A SCRATCH ON IT BUT NOW FIND OUT IT IS ROTTING THROUGH LIKE A TIN CAN. MY QUESTIONS ARE; SHOULD THIS HAVE BEEN COVERED OR RECALLED? IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP?

STABILITRAC LIGHT, TRACTION CONTROL AND ALSO CRACKED DASH BOARD RIGHT BY PASSENGER AIRBAG. DASH CRACKED 2 WEEKS AFTER I BOUGHT TRUCK

LIGHTS GO DIM ON IT ALL THE TIME AND THE ELECTRIC SYSTEM IN IT IS BAD SOMETIMES THE AIR CONDITION WORKS MOST OF THE TIME IT DON'T AND THE CRUISE QUIT WORKING IN IT

MY TRUCK SHOULD HAVE NO ISSUES AS I FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE BUT IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WHERE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE WHEN MY VEHICLE DISPLAYED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, TRACTION OFF, STABILTRAC OFF, THE AIRVENTS STOPPED BLOWING COOL AIR AND RELEASED HUMIDITY, BRAKES WERE NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY (HARD TO ACTUALLY BREAK), STEERING WHEEL/POWER STEERING WAS MALFUNCTIONING MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN OR GET OUT OF TRAFFIC AND IT SEEMS THE VEHICLE JUST DECIDED TO SUDDENLY STALL WHILE IN MOTION. I WAS VERY LUCKY DUE TO SUDDEN HIGH RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH AND WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER WITHOUT GETTING ANYONE HURT. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF ONCE I GOT IN PARK AND LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, EVERYTHING WAS FINE SHOWING NO ISSUES BUT I WENT TO START THE VEHICLE AND IT DID NOT CRANK OR TRY TO TURN OVER BUT ALL ELECTRONICS/LIGHTS WERE STILL WORKING. I CHECK ALL FLUID LEVELS, ALL WAS FINE AND THEN I WENT TO TRY ONE MORE TIME TO START THE VEHICLE. TO MY SURPRISE, IT STARTED UP JUST FINE AND WITH ONLY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND NOT READING ANY OTHER MESSAGES. ALL FUNCTIONS WERE WORKING PROPERLY BUT I WAS TOO SCARED TO GO ANYWHERE WITHOUT HAVING AN IDEA WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I WENT TO THE CLOSEST TRUSTED AUTO PLACE THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO USE A SCANNER TO FIND THE TROUBLE CODES OF MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE CODE WAS FOR A MALFUNCTION WITH THE INTERNAL CONTROL MODULE (CODE: P0601). THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE IN THE LAST WEEK AND ITS VERY SCARY TO FEEL AT RISK FOR A SUDDEN MALFUNCTION TO CAUSE A CRASH. AFTER RESEARCHING, I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL BULLETIN NO: 14515B, THAT HAD COVERED PRETTY MUCH THE SAME ISSUES AND FOR MY VEHICLE'S YEAR/MODEL. MY VIN DIDN'T REGISTER FOR ANY RECALLS, I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW OTHER VEHICLES ARE GETTING QUALIFIED IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE SAME ISSUES I'M EXPERIENCING. *TR

FEW CRACKS ON DASHBOARD WORRIED ABOUT ONE CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BACK I DID CALL GM NOTHTING HAPPEN.

DASH IS CRACKING ALL OVER NEAR AIRBAG 3GCPCSE02CG139623

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN CERTAIN AREAS, INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND THE MIDDLE SECTION IS FLIMSY AND ABLE TO BE PULLED UP OR PUSHED DOWN.

DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND WHEN I CAME OUT I NOTICED THE CRACK IN THE DASH.

I WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK ON 10/15/2016 TO NOTICE A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD BETWEEN THE AIRBAG AND THE VENT. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO STARTING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY TRUCK FROM. I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON TO ONLY BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I CAN HOWEVER PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A NEW DASHBOARD INSTALLED. NOW I FIND THIS AGGRAVATING AS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID NOR WAS THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS SIMPLY BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY!!! I THEN CALLED A BODY SHOP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO, IT WAS THEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR CHEVY AND THAT THIS CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO SPIDER OUT AND EVENTUALLY SPREAD!!!!! THEY CAN FIX IT BUT UNLESS I REPLACE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT!!!! BUT AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY POCKET. I THEN RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF EXACTLY HOW MANY CASES THERE ARE OUT THERE INVOLVING DASHBOARD CRACKS, COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVY FOR THIS EXACT REASON. IF CHEVY HAS THIS MANY COMPLAINTS AND IS AWARE OF THE DASHBOARD CRACKING WHY AREN'T THEY TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND OFFER A RESOLUTION! THIS CONCERNS ME AS THIS IS NEAR THE AIRBAG, COULD THIS CAUSE HARM TO THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY???????????

MY AIR BAD LIGHT IS ON AND MY HORN DOES NOT WORK. I CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY TRUCK. SHE THEN TOLD ME I HAD TO TAKE MY TRUCK IN TO SEE IF IT HAS A RECALL. I ASK HER WHICH IS IT, IS THERE A RECALL OR NOT? SHE SAID NO RECALL BUT I HAD TO GO INTO SERVICE TO SEE IF THERE IS A RECALL. THERE EITHER IS IT ISN'T. I FEEL GM IS TRYING TO COVER THIER BUTTS. SEEMS TO ME THAT THEY KNOW OF A PROBLEM BUT DON'T WANT TO GO PUBLIC WITH IT. I'M A 100% DISABLED VETERAN. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW 5 YEARS AGO, I ONLY HAVE 55K MILES ON MY TRUCK. I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK ESPECIALLY IF GM KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT REFUSES TO OWN UP TO THIER MISTAKE.

MY 2012 1500 SILVERADO'S, DASH HAS CRACKED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE, PURCHASED LATE 2012 ONLY 40 K MILES, NO ACCIDENTS OR REASONS FOR CRACKS OTHER THAN FAULTY MATERIAL USE FOR DASH.

MY VEHICLE IS JUST OVER THREE YEARS OLD, JUST OUT OF THE WARRANTY AND ONLY HAS 26,500 MILES. THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS CRACKED, EVEN THOUGH THE WINDOWS ARE TINTED AND I HAVE USED A SUN SHIELD AT ALL TIMES SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS I CONSIDER A HAZARD AS IT IS DIRECTLY WHERE ALL MAJOR COMPONENTS OF THE VEHICLE ARE LOCATED INCLUDING AIRBAGS AND SUCH. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME 1300 PLUS LABOR AS IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME AS I BELIEVE THIS CAN BE A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I NOTICED THE CRACK WHEN I WALKED PAST THE VEHICLE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

DASH CRACKED BEHIND INSTRUMENT PANEL AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. CONCERNED ABOUT SHRAPNEL SHOULD AIR BAGS DEPLOY....THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FROM 2007-2013.

THE DASH IS CRACKING NEAR THE AIR BAG. THERE IS A CONCERN OF A SAFETY HAZARD AND THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE OF FAULTY DASH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE REDUCE ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP SHATTERED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 140,000.

THE DASH IN MY 2012 SILVERADO TRUCK HAS CRACKED ON IT'S OWN IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT TO CONSUMERS(JUST DO A GOOGLE SEARCH) WITH A SAFETY CONCERN THAT IF THE AIR IS DEPLOYED, THE CRACKED PLASTIC COULD GET BLOWN OFF AND BECOME A DEADLY PROJECTILE.THERE IS NO ASPECT OF THIS THAT CAN OR SHOULD BE CONSIDERED SAFE.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AROUND AIR BAGS

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SEVERAL OTHER CRACKS HAVE FORMED.

AT 170208 MILES THE CAM WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IT ON A CITY STREET IT STARTED TAPPING LIFTERS, I TOOK IT DIRECTLY TO REPAIR SHOP FOR INSPECTION AND A NEW MOTOR HAS TO BE PUT IN. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE ONE YEAR AGO AT 139171 MILES WITH POWERTRAIN ASSURANCE WITH APG CORP. BUT NO ONE WANTS TO COVER IT NOW THAT IT HAS ISSUES. EVEN WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

I NOTICED YESTERDAY THAT THE SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON. DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT. GOT IN THERE THIS MORNING 7/15 AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND IT DID IT AGAIN. THIS TIME ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL WENT OUT FOR A MINUTE INCLUDING THE SPEEDOMETER. COULDNT EVEN TURN MY AC ON OR OFF. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WE GOT IT FROM AND THEY TOLD ME I WAS LOOKING AT A 2 WEEK WAIT BUT I COULD DROP IT OFF ON 7/18 AND THEY WOULD GET TO IT.

WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK THIS MORNING AND LOW AND BEHOLD, THERE WAS A 4" CRACK IN THE DASH THAT WAS NOT THERE LAST NIGHT. IT STARTS AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF THE AIRBAG AND GOES TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD. THERE IS A SMALL PIECE OF BLACK PLASTIC STICKING OUT OF THE CRACK. NOW I WONDER IF SOMEONE TOUCHES IT, THE AIR BAG WILL INFLATE. IS THIS SAFE OR NOT?

WOKE UP THIS MORNING, GOT IN MY 2012 SILVERADO, AND NOTICED A VERY LARGE CRACK IN THE DASH OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AFTER A QUICK SEARCH, I CAN SEE THIS IS A VERY FREQUENT PROBLEM.

THE DASH HAS A CRACK ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACK IS COMPLETELY THROUGH THE ENTIRE PIECE OF PLASTIC SO IT MAKES ME CONCERNED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IF IT WERE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT I AM NOT CERTAIN THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE PLASTIC FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK HAS JUST OVER 60000 MILES AND WE WERE TOLD IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY THEREFORE THE ESTIMATE TO REPAIR IS $1004

CRACKS IN DASHBOARD AROUND AIR BAG.

PASSENGER AIR BAG SENSOR DEVELOPED A SHORT WITH THE CONNECTION.

OUR DASHBOARD CRACKED AT THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN FOR US. WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. WE HAVE NEVER USED ARMOR ALL ON THE DASHBOARD.

THE DASH IS CRACKING AND CHEVY SHARED THAT IT COST 1500 TO REPLACE SO THEY WILL ALLOW ME TO PAY $600 AND THEY WILL PAY THE REST. THE TRUCK HAS 44600 MILES I HAVE NOT REPLACE THE TIRES OR BRAKES YET IT IS PARKED UNDER A TREE MOST OF THE TIME THERE IS NO REASON THAT THIS SHOULD HAPPEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER AND CURTAIN AIR BAGS ABRUPTLY DEPLOYED WHILE DRIVING 55 TO 60 MPH IN RAINY WEATHER. THE CONTACT LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO THE MEDIAN. THE CONTACT SUFFERED INJURIES TO HIS KNEES, ELBOW AND RIBS, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. UPDATED 08/02/16*LJ UPDATED 08/09/16.*JB

CRACKING DASHBOARD.

DASH CRACKED AT RIGHT UPPER CORNER BY PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH COULD POSSIBLY RIP AIR BAG UPON DEPLOYMENT

CRACKED DASH OCCURRED WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. THE FIRST IS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG AND THE SECOND IS JUST TO THE LEFT MIDDLE OF THE DASH TOP. SEE PHOTOS. CONCERNED ABOUT LOOSE PLASTIC BREAKING AND PROPELLING IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS IN AN ACCIDENT. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE LAST YEAR AND IT WAS FINE. THE CRACKS BEGAN WITHIN THE LAST MONTH. 5/13/2016

DASH IS CRACKED AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I'M CONCERNED THAT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT MAY BE AFFECTED. ALSO, PIECES OF THE DASH MAY BECOME AIR BORN IN THE EVENT OF AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED. 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 NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CRACKED DASH ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AT IT BAG. STARTED AT 48000 MILES. IF IN A WRECK AND AIR BAG DEPLOYS SHARDS OF DASH CAN FLY THROUGH THE AIR. THINGS CAN GET DOWN IN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND CAUSE A SHORT WHICH CAN LEAD TO A FIRE. VEHICLE CAN BE SITTING IN A HEATED GARAGE AND IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND IS NOISY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT IS A DISTRACTION TO THE DRIVER.

OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE WITH 5.3 L V8 ENGINE. USES 4 QTS OF OIL BETWEEN 5000 MILE OIL CHANGE. STARTED AT 95352 MILES WHEN WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING OIL PRESSURE WAS EXTREMELY LOW. FOUND OUT TRUCK ONLY HAD 2 QTS OF OIL LEFT IN IT. OIL LIFE READING WAS STILL AT 7%. THEN ENGINE STARTED FOULING CYLINDER ONE SPARK PLUG NOTICED BY ENGINE CODE AND SLUGGISH DRIVING. DEALER REPLACED, FOULED AGAIN. DEALER REPLACED LEFT VALVE COVER TO FIX, FOULED PLUG AGAIN. DEALER SUGGESTED PISTON RING JOB. NOT DONE DUE TO COST. NOW HAS FOULED PLUG TWO MORE TIMES AND IS STILL USING 4 QTS OIL BETWEEN 5000 MILE OIL CHANGES. ONLY 119816 MILES CURRENLY.

I FOUGHT GM ON THIS FOR 7 MONTHS. AND DID SO 30 DAYS FROM MY PURCHASE DATE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN MY TRUCK MAKES A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE. AND WILL REV UP IN A SENSE AND PUSH YOU FORWARD. MOST OF THE TIME IT'S ONLY PROBABLY A FOOD BUT OTHER TIMES I HAS CAUSED ME TO GO THROUGH STOP SIGNS. LUCKILY NO ONE IS THERE BUT I FEAR THAT WHEN I HAVE MY FIANCE AND 3 KIDS IN THE TRUCK I MAY GET PUSHED FORWARD AND T BONED. OR I MAY GO INTO SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME. OR INTO A FENCE. AND THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL EVERY TIME. BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE AND MY THING IS IS IF IT'S NORMAL.. THEN IT'S A SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE READ REVIEWS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT'S NOT SAFE AND DEFINITELY NOT PRACTICAL. THEY SAY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY 6 SPEED. BUT I FOUGHT GM AND HE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. STARTING FROM REPAIRS ON MY TRUCK THAT WAS PROMISED TO BE FIXED TO THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEM CLAIMING THEY FIXED IT WITH SOME SENSOR. THEN LYING SAYING THEY NEVER FIXED ANYTHING WHEN GM QUESTIONED THEM. LUCKILY I HAD SOMEONE THAT WORKED THERE THAT FELT BAD FOR ME SO HE GAVE ME ALL THE INFO I NEEDED. ALL IN ALL GM ENDED UP GIVING ME A BUMPER TO BUMPER GM WARRANTY FOR 4YRS. FOR A PROBLEM THEY CLAIM WAS NORMAL. THAT'S GENEROUS OF THEM. BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE AND I'M SCARED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY.

FRONT SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WENT BAD

CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE CORNER OF AIRBAG AND ANOTHER AT THE STEERING CONCOLE

DASH CRACKED AT CORNER DASH ABOVE LEFT SIDE OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ONLY 35K ON VEHICLE 3.5 YEARS OLD WITH USE OF SUNSHADE HALF THE TIME
