  • 43,000 miles
The dashboard has a crack on the passenger side where the airbag cutout is. I believe this is a major safety issue. Especially if you're in an accident and the airbag deployed there will be pictures of dash board shards fiying through the air and possibly into the occupants with force from the airbag.

Clutches in transmission where when truck in drive the truck will not go to 40 or above. The truck was moving on city street head toward 95 North. As a result of problem I had to use aaa to get back to baltimore from frederickburg va this is the second times since the vehicle has been in my name that this problem happen. The first time was July 26 2016 where the dealership repair (under warranty) this transmission problem seem very immature due age of truck and less than 65000 miles

My dash cracked straight line above and attached to airbag, wasn't there, next day it was, Nov 2016 38,000 mi. Called dealership(s) and I called GM/chev support and they said since it was no longer under warranty and there was no recall I would have to pay for it...I expressed my concerns as a huge safety issue and obvious defect.

My 2013 Chevy Silverado has an air conditioning problem. So did my old truck, a 2010, which I teased in for the 2013. I have ran across many, many complaints if this on the Chevy's on google and youtube. I only have 21,000 miles on this 2013. GM should replace the part(s) to make this right. I have no problem trading it in for another make of a different truck. I love where the highs can be 100 degrees easily, not good if the problem still exists with all the complaints! the ac blows warm. I'm not paying $1000 for the fix that should've been done by GM in the first place!! I bought this used vehicle in Nov 2017.

Dashboard crack on the left-hand side of passenger airbag. And dashboard rattles on driver-side. Very concerned if in an accident the dashboard will send projectiles because it's so close to airbag.

Silverado 1500

  • 57,000 miles
Upon wiping my dashboard with a dry cloth(never used any products to clean, or treat the dashboard area) and I do not park vechile in direct sunlight.... I noticed 4 to 5 cracks in the dashboard area of both drivers side and passengers side...most concerning... that 2 of the cracks are around the passanger air bag located on the passenger side dashboard...this is unacceptable as a consumer of GM and a Chevy Silverado who purchased a vechile thats priced above $45,000. I believe this should be taken very seriously considering the location of these cracks and should be a recall by GM considering the fact that many people are experiencing the same issues.....

  • 65,127 miles
I was driving & heard a very loud noise but didn't know what it was till I was cleaning/vacuuming my vehicle the next day. I was cleaning the vehicle & the dashboard was very dirty so I was lightly cleaning it with a rag & the rag got stuck so when I checked what it was I noticed a very big crack. It also cracked by the airbag & I honestly feel like that is a hazard. It bothers me to think I'm paying over $40K for a vehicle that I chose to defend my family & might malfunction if I'm ever in an accident.

Radio volume and turn signal sound stopped even radio on. When turned completely off, phone symbol started flashing on radio screen and stayed on. Security alerts for seat belt, door open and key in ignition also not working. Has progressively gotten worse. Vehicle was stationary when first started and problem as continued while driving. When turned off the radio display will not go off even though turned off. Dealership has no clue what's wrong. Saw online where 2014 Silverado recalled for base radio problems that are similar to this problem (14V301000).
