A battery icon comes on my dash with a message about the battery charging system needs to be serviced. It does not matter if the vehicle is stationary or driving this comes on for long enough to read then goes off. The tires pressure sensor is giving a messages as well about needing servicing. The driver's seatbelt latch has stopped allowing the clip to enter I was parked at the time this happened. I have since then tried to spray white lithium to get it moving since I did not have wd40. There was no success. I still have not been able to get the airbag recall fixed.

Seat belt on driver and passenger sides will not lock any longer. They have worn out and broke. This seems very similar to the 2007 recall that happened. This is a 2008 truck.
There was an explosion and seat belts tightened up,the deployer for air bags went off, luckily the air bags didn't go off or I would have been in an accident. I complained to gm because there was a call back in 2010 of faulty sensors getting corroded because they are located in a damp area. Gm stated that they were no longer responsible because it was over five years old and over 100,000 miles. But my concern is how dangerous this is when you are just driving down the street and they go off causing a accident. I want gm to pay for repairs so that I can have seat belts again but they claim no responsibility and want me to pay $1200. 00 to $1500. 00 to have seat belts and air bags again.
The dash on my 2008 silverado is cracked. The crack is located at the airbag on the passenger side. The crack is located at the top left side of the airbag opening. I am afraid that if the airbag is deployed the cracked dash will become shrapnel and kill, or seriously injure people in the cab of the truck.

Seat belt locks up when driving on smooth roads. Does not allow driver to lean forward to look in blind spot of drivers side window. Happens on slightly bumpy roads and on smooth roads when making turns or lane changes. Happens every day and can be reproduced at any time.
