Failure Date: 01/05/2012

Silverado 2007 truck cracks just keep appearing in dash in airbag section for no reason. Truck is parked in garage 80 percent of time. If cracks keep appearing, what is going to keep airbag from coming out of dash for no reason? this truck is 6 years old with 62,000 miles on it very clean and the dash looks awful. Have contacted Chevrolet and they say no recalls, please tell me why?.

4 Body problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2008

I have been having a problem with exterior door handles breaking off. This has happened to me 3 times on my 2007 chev Silverado pick up truck. If you need to pull a little hard on the door handle to open the door because it has snow or ice on it (or it is just locked), it breaks off. The handles are made of plastic. My safety concern is this: if I am in an accident and unable to open the door myself, a rescue person may grab the handle a little too hard and it breaks off, thus they will be unable to get me out of the car quickly. I have ask gm if there were any recalls on this and they said no. Like I said I have replaced the handles 3 times and the truck has less than 50000 miles on it.
