Silverado 1500 Hybrid

  • 100,000 miles
Air bag light is on. This is prompting me to think that this is related to the takata recall. My 2011 Silverado has less than 100,00 miles. The transmission started making noises, then it stopped. Prior to that nothing was indicated as going wrong. One month later, the transmission will not move into gears. I have spent thousands of dollars to purchase this vehicle brand new and I am so disappointed in the service that I am getting out of it.also the interior is deteriorating. My radio dials and heat/air control buttons are faded. The steering wheel is peeling. I even bought extended warranty. My power window went out, fixed by warranty. This truck has too many defects and I am seeking some answers and assisting in correcting these problems.

May 27,2011 GM annouced a recall of the passeger side air bag on my truck. Recall # 16V381. Now the dealer tells me GM is asking Y'all to allow them cancel this recall. Are we the consumer expected to just wait for someone to get killed when one of these defective inflators rupures?? and then GM might do something about it. GM needs to be proactive and not reactive. Lets get these fixed before my wife or someone esle gets killed.

Takata recall - NHTSA number 16V381. May 2016. I am told that GM filed a notice of inconsequentiality regarding this recall in August 2017, roughly 17 months ago. I believe the next step is for NHTSA to accept or deny GM's position. When should NHTSA's response be expected?

Takata recall. I was notified about a year and a half ago that my 2011 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 was under recall for takata airbags. I called my local Chevrolet dealer three times asking if parts are available and still no replacement airbags. I live in Alabama which is a humid climate which is more acceptable to cause air bag to be defective.

Takata airbag, still no resolution for this by GM. The dash on the pick up also have the same cracks that thousands of owners have experienced around the passenger side airbag and across the driver side as well. I have repaired it multiple times for it only to crack in new places. It began cracking with only 30,000 miles on it.

We bought the truck new. We received an airbag recall notice many years back. Still there is no fix available. I believe the recall is because people have died with these faulty airbags. What should we do ?
