general problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 - part 1

Vehicle's airbag recalled in 2016 9gm 49152). I called dealer- win kelly- in July, 2017 . Kathy said "no uflorianreasonable danger' . . Be safe. Gm solution by August. Called NHTSA on 9/12/17 took complaint # 11022868. Got a filled our complaint form 100148 noting manufacturer "parts not available". !2/27/2020 same story.

My dash has cracked in multiple locations including the airbag surround. Shards of the dash have now begun to break off - clear indication of an unsafe condition. Should the airbag deploy shards of the shattering dash could rupture the airbag or worse strike and impale the occupants of the vehicle. This is an unsafe condition. I am in the aircraft maintenance business and the faa and ntsb would never allow such an obvious hazard in an aircraft. My dash started cracking years ago and despite stop drilling the cracks as we do in aircraft maintenance on lexan transparencies the cheap plastic the dash is made from continues to propagate new and bigger cracks. Attempts to use a plastic welding repair kit also failed. A recall to address this dangerous condition is way past due.

Air bag recall and electrical issue.

My dashboard is completely broken by the passenger air bag also completely broken by the drivers cluster exposing wires and other mechanical stuff.

My dashboard has cracked around the passenger's airbag. There was no indecent that caused the crack - I just got in the truck one day and noticed a small crack. Over the past year it has progressively gotten worse to the point that I am concerned that it is a safety issue. The dashboard also has a large crack on the driver's side but my greatest concern is the danger presented by an airbag deployment that could easily send shards of sharp plastic shrapnel into the face of my passenger or that it could damage the airbag and prevent it from functioning properly. It has always been my understanding that dashboards were padded as a safety feature to protect the occupants in the event of a wreck. Somehow the safety administration has allowed gm to get away with installing dangerous, brittle, cheap plastic dashboards the are prone to cracking - a problem the manufacturer is well aware of according to my dealer. It is a failure of our consumer safety agency to allow this to continue and a recall to fix this dangerous condition is in order and should be required right away. How takata airbag manufacturer can be required to recall millions of airbag parts but gm is allowed to get away with this is inexcusable.

I have a 2008 Silverado 2500hd with 48,000 miles on it and just noticed two cracks have formed above the passenger airbag. Even though the warranty has expired I feel this is a manufacturing defect and should be replaced by Chevrolet at no charge. The vehicle has always been stored sun protected except when traveling. At that time a dash screen is used for sun protection. I contacted the Chevrolet customer assistance center immediately and they had me take my vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer for examination. I had my vehicle examined at the Chevrolet dealership on March 21, 2016. They examined the vehicle, took photos and told me they would get back to me with the decision. They did so later that day but the decision was to replace the dash which would be $1000. 00 of which gm would be willing to pick up half, so my out of pocket expense would be $500. 00. I refused this offer and told the dealer I would be contacting the Chevrolet customer assistance center to dispute me having to pay $500. 00 out of pocket expense to correct a manufacturers defect. I contacted the Chevrolet customer assistance center immediately via phone and asked that the issue be elevated to the appropriate person. I provided the representative all the information she requested from me and she assured me that she would elevate the issue to the senior manager in my area and they would get back to me within 48 hours with a decision. As of this writing I have not heard back from anyone. This is a safety issue. If the airbag on he passengers side were to deploy it would sent plastic shrapnel into the driver causing severe injury. I know this to be a fact because I worked on airbag technology back in the 80's and saw videos of what occurs upon airbag deployment when particles are sent flying. Think of a straw being driven into a tree during a tornado. Same principle.

The dash around the air bag has formed a crack and upon deployment of the air bag could result in sharp plastic breaking off and hitting passengers. Along with the sharp plastic it could result in the rupture of the airbag and could result in a passenger death. This is a common problem on gm dashes from 2007. 5-2013. Gm will not own up to the problem and it needs to be taken care of. There is a facebook page with over 6000 people with the same problem. . Read more...

Takata recall taking way too long to get repaired,. Have to be driving veh with air bag disabled which is totally unsafe for passenger if in accident. Takata and gm must be brought to task to get corrected instead of waiting until there are less vehs to repair.

I have a 2008 silverado in showroom condition. It has 109k miles and has been a great truck. Over the last 24 months I have noticed cracks appearing in the dash. Eventually they got so bad that they stretched all the way across the top of my dash including the area around the air bag. I received an airbag recall and I showed the dealer the cracking. I explained my concern that if the airbag deployed it would cause plastic shrapnel to fly into the cab of the truck. The dealer said my truck was out of warranty and that it would cost close to $8000 to completely change the dash which they told me was the only option. I called chevy corporate and spoke with a chevy representative and got basically the same answer. I asked what they were going to do when an accident occurs where someone is seriously injured or killed by the broken plastic flying through the cab. The representative refused to answer me.

Takata recall what follows is my original complaint against autonation/ general motors that as of today January 16, 2016 has not been resolved or have they delivered truck. Still can not answers from either company when they will deliver it, if part is coming, if they have the part, or if they can just replace with another part. They have not been helpful and I am still awaiting to see if they will even give me a loaner vehicle. This has taken weeks for an answer. So as you can see I have owned this vehicle for a month and have not even had at my house or driven it. Or do they have answers to when this recall will be fixed. I have filed bbb complaints against both no response from autonation and general motors only response was a jumble of fancy terms but did not addressed issue of if have part, when will get part or can they replace with another part to this complaint. No response from customer care at autonation email sent and no answers period from either company to when truck will be repaired. 2008 Chevrolet silverado on Dec. 16 2015 from auto nation Chevrolet security blvd 6633 security blvd baltimore MD . After paying for vehicle they state has recall needs fixed that was issued June 4, 2015) and that they will have it fixed by Thursday morning Dec. 17, 2015 and truck delivered . As of 1/ 2016 no truck or as to when fixed except to say it would affect something with the gm certification. They were aware of this before vehicle was sold. However they sold anyway and still have truck and my money. Status says incomplete remedy not available on gm recall center. No sure how they could sell this vehicle recall if aware of recall. General manager/saleman do not keep in touch as promised dennis and mike general manager. Get the run around with no answers and them not returning my calls. .
