  TAKATA RECALL... I CALLED THE DEALER ABOUT THE RECALL. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT AVAILABLE AT THE TIME, GM WILL CALL WHEN THERE IS A REPLACEMENT. WHAT DO WE DO IN THE MEAN TIME? DO WE WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THEN SUE GM? I AM CURIOUS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT A LOVED ONE GETTING HURT OR KILLED BEFORE THE AIRBAG IS REPLACED.

  My brother was putting a trailer onto my hitch and noticed that it was unstable. The factory hitch was rusted out thru the metal. Him being a mechanic he decided to put the truck up on the rack. My FRAME IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THRU!!! BECAUSE they did not rust proof it right to start. I could have been killed along with my GRANDSON whom I have custody of. No one knew my truck frame was rusted out. It's a beautifully kept truck in great condition. I was not aware of this issue of them not recalling a rustproofing error!!!! Omg. A 20k truck is worthless now. Who has to die to fix this!! There is no reason a truck frame should rust through in 10 years!!

  THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR WILL NOT ADJUST OUTWARD FAR ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE A BLIND SPOT ON THAT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. 9/22/11 TOM BANNEN CHEVROLET IN MADISON TN ATTEMPTED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE MIRROR, BUT THAT RESULTED IN NO IMPROVEMENT. 12/8/11 I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AGAIN. [XXX], THE SERVICE WRITER, SAT IN MY TRUCK, OPERATED THE MIRROR AND CONFIRMED THAT THE MIRROR WOULD NOT ADJUST OUTWARD FAR ENOUGH TO ELIMINATE A BLIND SPOT. HE SAID THAT IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT RIGHT,' AND THEY WOULD CHECK IT OUT TO SEE WHAT REPAIR IS NEEDED. BUT WHEN I PICKED UP THE TRUCK, THEY SAID IT OPERATES LIKE ALL THEIR OTHER TRUCKS AND WOULD MAKE NO IMPROVEMENT. 12/10/11 I COMPLAINED TO GM AT 866-790-5600. 12/21/11 "DISTRICT SPECIALIST" JOHN (EXTENSION 42327) SAID GM WILL NOT DO ANYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND THAT THIS IS GM'S FINAL POSITION ON THIS PROBLEM. THIS DEFECT LEAVES A BLIND SPOT IN MY VIEW, AND THAT INCREASES THE HAZARD OF MOVING LEFT TO CHANGE LANES. I AM, OF COURSE, AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS SITUATION. IT PLACES ME AT GREATER RISK THAN SHOULD BE NECESSARY WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK. PERHAPS OTHER SILVERADO OWNERS ARE SUFFERING THIS SAME INCREASED RISK. PLEASE PROMPTLY PROVIDE A SOLUTION, INSTRUCT MY DEALER ON THAT SOLUTION, AND NOTIFY ME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

  I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH A FUEL GAUGE PROBLEM. WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL, MY FUEL GAUGE LIGHT JUST COMES ON AND THE FUEL GAUGE GOES DOWN TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE THEN STALLS LOSING ALL POWER AND CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE (BRAKES, STEERING). AS I REACH THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL, I HAVE TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP BUT THE FUEL GAUGE STAYS AT EMPTY. I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT A GM DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS STATED BY THE TECH THAT VEHICLE IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. THIS WAS ALSO CONFIRMED BY GM ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. IF I RECALL, THE FUEL PUMP IS PLACED MORE TOWARD THE BACK OF TRUCK AND WHILE DRIVING DOWNHILL GAS MOVES TOWARDS FRONT OF TANK GIVING THE FUEL SENSOR A FALSE READING. I'M NO ENGINEER BUT I HAD A 2009 SILVERADO AND NEVER CAME ACROSS THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A BIG VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE THIS POSES A GREAT SAFETY RISK TO MYSELF AND FAMILY AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC. MANY TIMES WHEN THE TRUCK HAS LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING CAPABILITY, MYSELF OR MY FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE DRIVING HAVE NARROWLY AVOIDED ACCIDENTS. GM TECH AND GM CORPORATE SAID REMEDY IS TO KEEP MORE GAS IN VEHICLE. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM AS AT TIMES IN TRAVEL I MAY NOT KEEP MY TANK AS FULL AS REQUIRED BY GM.

• 12/07/2011· VISIBILITY,WHEELS

  CONDITIONS: HEAVY MISTING RAIN, 32 DEG F, LOWERING TEMPERATURE, DAYTIME. THIS IS TO REPORT A DESIGN DEFECT OF THE WINDSHIELD DEFOGGING SYSTEM. THE DEFOGGING SYSTEM OPERATED AS DESIGNED. THERE WAS NO FAILURE OF THE EQUIPMENT. WHEN THE WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER IS SELECTED THIS VEHICLES SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY SETS TO OUTSIDE AIR AND TURNS OFF THE AIRCONDITIONING COMPRESSOR AT 32 DEG F AND BELOW. ON DECEMBER 6TH WHILE DRIVING DURING MISTING RAIN AT SLIGHTLY ABOVE FREEZING WITH THE TEMPERATURE SLOWLY LOWERING I EXPERIENCED A RAPID AND SERIOUS PROBLEM CLEARING THE WINDSHIELD OF MIST ON THE INSIDE SURFACE OF THE WINDSHIELD AS WELL AS ALL OTHER GLASS SURFACES WHEN THE TEMPERATURE FELL BELOW FREEZING AND THE AIRCONDITIONING COMPRESSOR CUT OFF. DESPITE USING THE WINDSHIELD DEFOGGER AT THE MAXIMUM HEAT AND FAN SETTING I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BECAUSE I COULD NO LONGER SEE WELL ENOUGH TO DRIVE SAFELY. SELECTION OF WINDSHIELD DEFOGGING MODE ACTUALLY WORSENED THE PROBLEM INITIALLY. I BELIEVE THAT THE DESIGN OF THE SYSTEM CREATES THE POTENTIAL (AND IN THIS CASE ACTUAL) DANGER OF RAPID LOSS OF VISIBILITY TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF A LOSS OF EFFECTIVE CONTROL. *TR
