I HAVE NOW HAD MY CHEVY 2013 SILVERADO IN FOR OIL CONSUMPTION TESTS FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS AND IT HAS FAILED THEM. WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IT IN I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS. WHEN IT FINALLY FAILED THEY ARE NOW SAYING THE ARE ONLY REPLACING THE HEAD GASKET AND THE ROCKER ARMS. NEITHER ONE OF THESE HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH MY TRUCK BURNING OIL. THIS IS THE SECOND VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS HAS ISSUES BURNING OIL THE FIRST ONE THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NORMAL FOR IT TO BURN OIL. THEY NEED TO DO WHAT THEY ORIGINALLY TOLD ME AND REPLACE THE PISTON RINGS. WHAT HAPPENS IF THIS ENGINE GOES WHILE I AM GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY

WAX COATING IS COMING OFF OF FRAME RUST SHOWING.

DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS HAS CAUSED SAFETY CONCERNS SUCH AS THE POSSIBILITY OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYING OR PIECES OF THE DASH COMING OUT AND INJURING SOMEONE IF IT WAS TO DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT ABOUT 5 MONTHS.

CRACKED DASH. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 30K MILES AND ALREADY HAS A CRACK

I BOUGHT THIS USED 2013 TRUCK IN LATE NOV 2015. WHEN MAKING (USUALLY) A RIGHT TURN AT LOW SPEED, ESPECIALLY FROM A STOP LIKE ENTERING TRAFFIC FROM AN INCLINED ACCESS DRIVEWAY, OCCASIONALLY (MAYBE 3 TIMES PER MONTH) THERE IS A SUDDEN AND TOTAL FAILURE OF POWER ASSIST IN STEERING, MAKING THE TURN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND UNABLE TO KEEP FROM DRIFTING OUT OF THE INTENDED LANE OF TRAVEL. COLLISIONS WERE AVOIDED SEVERAL TIMES BY (THANKFULLY) ONCOMING TRAFFIC VEERING OUT OF THE WAY. THIS SUDDEN LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL PARTICULARLY AT THIS UNEXPECTED TIME WHILE ACCELERATING TO NEGOTIATE A TRAFFIC ENTRY IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THIS ONE-TON TRUCK IS NOT LIKE A SUBCOMPACT THAT IS EASY TO TURN 90 DEGREES WITHOUT POWER STEERING, BELIEVE ME. IF MY WIFE WERE DRIVING, THE TRUCK WOULD SURELY GO COMPLETELY ACROSS ALL LANES OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. AFTER COMPLETING THE TURN, THE POWER STEERING RETURNS TO NORMAL, HOWEVER THE POWER ASSIST STEERING ON THIS 2013 TRUCK HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAR LESS EFFECTIVE THAN MY PREVIOUS IDENTICAL MODEL, BUT 8 YEARS OLDER CHEVY DIESEL ONE-TON TRUCK.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT RUNS FROM THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COVER TO THE EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD PIECE. THE DASHBOARD PIECE IS ELEVATED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE CRACK. THERE IS ALSO A SECOND CRACK FORMING ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE SAME DASHBOARD PIECE NEAR THE DRIVER INSTRUMENT PANEL HOOD.

2013 LTZ SILVERADO 47,000 MILAGE DASH CRACKED IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG AREA. FEEL COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF IN AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED CAUSING THE DASH TO THROW SHARDS OF PLASTIC IN CAB. IT CRACKED ONE DAY JUST AS I STARTED TRUCK WHILE STATIONARY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE LIFTERS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

DRIVING AT APPROX 35-40 MPH APPROACHING A HAIRPIN TURN TRIED TO BREAK AND VEHICLE DID NOT SLOW DOWN SLID THROUGH THE CORNER INTO A ROCK, PUT THE VEHICLE IS REVERSE AND PRESSED ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE RPM INCREASED ON OWN TRIED TO BREAK THE RPM DID NOT DIMINISH(FOOT OFF ACCELERATOR) BEFORE I HAD TIME TO SHUT THE TRUCK OFF I HIT A TREE BEHIND ME. IT APPEARS SOMETHING STUCK IN ACCELERATOR (MECHANICAL) OR THE COMPUTER SYSTEM( ELECTRONICS) FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT YET BEEN TESTED.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. SHOULD IT DEPLOY THERE WILL BE A PIECE AS LONG AS A BIG KNIFE THAT WILL BECOME A PROJECTILE.

ALL STABILITRAK/TRACTION CONTROL SHUT OFF. DEALER STATES CODE C0455, STEERING ANGLE SENSOR. PLEASE INVESTIGATE HOW MANY CODE C0455 HAVE BEEN LISTED FOR YEARS. SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY GM. KNOWN ISSUE NOT BEING REPAIRED CAUSING STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL TO DISENGAGE. THE NUMBERS POSTED IN FORUMS INDICATE A LARGE PROBLEM. SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I PURCHASED A NEW BLACK 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO CREW CAB IN OCTOBER 2012 FROM MARINE CHEVROLET IN JACKSONVILLE, NC WITH A 3 YR/36,000 MILE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. ON 16 MAY, 2015, I CALLED MARINE CHEVROLET'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT A 1 1/2"CRACK ABOVE THE CENTER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY TRUCK HAD 37,017 MILES AND WAS NO LONGER COVERED UNDER THE ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, I WANTED TO KNOW IF THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THE DEALERSHIP SCHEDULE A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR 8:30 AM ON 18 MAY, 2015. AFTER CONDUCTING RESEARCH OVER THE WEEKEND, I LEARNED THAT OTHER CHEVY AND GMC OWNERS OF TRUCK AND SUV MODELS BETWEEN 2007 AND 2013 REPORTED CRACKED DASHES NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS. ON 18 MAY, I BROUGHT MY TRUCK TO MARINE CHEVROLET'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO EXAMINE THE CRACK. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED, CHEVROLET WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CRACK HAPPENED LESS THAN THREE YEARS AFTER I PURCHASED THE TRUCK AND I WAS AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF THESE DASHBOARDS. THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TALKED TO HIS SERVICE MANAGER AND LATER TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD PAY THE MAJORITY OF THE MAINTENANCE COST AND THAT I WOULD ONLY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR $100. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF ONLINE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN IN FORUMS AND ONLINE NEWS ARTICLES, I FEEL GM MAY HAVE INSTALLED DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS IN 2007 - 2013 TRUCK AND SUV MODELS AND PASSED THE COST OF DEFECTIVE PARTS ONTO THE CUSTOMER. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYS WITH A CRACK DASHBOARD SURROUNDING IT, THERE COULD AN INCREASED LIKELIHOOD OF DASHBOARD SHRAPNEL FLYING INTO A PASSENGER'S FACE. I THINK NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE CRACKING DASHBOARD ISSUE IN GM'S SUVS AND PICK-UP TRUCKS FROM 2007 - 2013 AND INFLUENCE GM TO ISSUE A RECALL OR SERVICE BULLETIN TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES ADJACENT TO THE AIRBAG COVER. GM AND THE DEALER ARE WILLING TO REPLACE IT OUT OF WARRANTY BUT ARE REQUIRING ME TO COVER NEARLY HALF THE REPLACEMENT COST OF $700. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE AS AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD CREATE PLASTIC PROJECTILES IN THE CABIN THAT COULD INJURE A PASSENGER. I CAN PROVIDE A PHOTO IF REQUESTED. *TR

ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BOTH TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 33,000.
