Takata inflators: My 2006 Chevy 3500 driver side airbag deployed overnight while the truck was locked, not running, and had no keys in it in my driveway. This is unacceptable! the truck was not in an accident. Thankfully I wasn't driving down the road when it deployed, or I could have been killed. 2006 should be included in the recall. My truck was manufactured 5/2006 and the recall includes trucks made 12/2006 and newer. What can be done by Chevy to pay for my repair? additionally, the night before the air bag deployed on its own the passenger side rear window fell into the door. Again it was parked in the driveway locked not running, keys not in it!

In attempting to purchase a 4X4, lwb, 2006 Chevy Silverado-hd truck from bartow Chevrolet, they refused to furnish me with written proof that the recalls listed for this vehicle were not in the lot of recalls listed on the internet. Further, the GM supplier discount office and the Chevrolet marketing department also refused to furnish this written proof. Bartow Chevrolet told me that since I requested this written proof, I couldn't trust them and since I couldn't trust, they were not going to sell the truck to me; because I, as the consumer, wanted written proof that this vehicle was safe to drive and would not cause harm or death to me or anyone else in this vehicle. To me, it was a fair consumer request to ask bartow Chevrolet to provide written proof that this was a safe vehicle to drive, that all of the recalls had been fixed, and that anyone driving or riding in this vehicle would also be reassured of being safe from bodily harm and/or death.

Consumer was sold a 2006 Silverado with engine damages. ***** when the consumer contacted the dealership to tell them what he had discovered wit the engine cowling, they had advised him it was squirrel damage. Even though the dealer acknowledged the problem, they refused to give the consumer another vehicle. The consumer and his family had become sick. They believed it was from the bacteria coming from the venting system. The front tires were out of round and the rims were bent.

: the contact stated upon inspection, it was noticed, the under hood shield was ripped and the intake manifold was scratched. The tread was separating from the passenger front tire in chunks. The dealership determined the under hood damage was caused by a squirrel. Although the dealer was alerted no additional inspections have been made. The manufacturer has been alerted.
