The frame is severely rusting out. Was found during an oil change by a certified mechanic. This will cause serious safety concerns as the frame will break. After researching this issue online, it appears this is a common problem others are having with Chevrolet. I believe others have filled complaints and look forward to a recall to fix these vehicles.

I got a code p2138 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch. Upon doing my own research on this code I found out it is a manufacture defect. And they are aware this is caused because the manufacturer did not seal the antenna correctly so water gets in and damages wires and sensors

Rusted frame. Weekend structure. Can cause complete loss, dangerous, should be buy backs or added structure for frame damages. No protective devices, coatings, nothing to prevent rusting on frame that holds motor, transmission and over all vehicle together. This is a death sentence to owners of this truck. It cost me 2700. to have extra metal welded on the early rusted out frame to avoid disaster and accidents. This is something the manufacturer should have fixed since it is clearly a manufacturing defect. This should not have been happening at any stage of owning these trucks.

Shortly after purchasing my 2010 Silverado a small crack appeared on the dash by the corner of the passenger air bag. A month or so later another crack developed above the instrument cluster that is now (years later) I have friends with similar trucks and these cracks occurred in the identical spot on their dashs. It has to be a risk to the airbag, or in any front impact. These cracks are sharp and right in the driver and passengers face. After searching online I have discovered it is a widespread issue.

Dash began to crack around the passenger airbag door. If airbag was to go off, dash pieces would go towards occupants. Called GM, said no recalls and would have to replace out of pocket. Should be a safety recall. Numerous other similar models affected.

My dash on my 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is cracked in multiple places, including over the passenger airbag and instrument cluster. Over the instrument cluster there is now a 6 inch wide hole which leaves electrical components exposed. This is a large safety issue and I would like to have a factory replacement since this a widely known defect by GM.
