2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Chevy has poor quality frames trucks with less then 70k miles on them are unsafe to drive it is a 2009 been garage kept and well taking care of there are tons of these trucks not road worty because of frame me and most people still owe money on these trucks and get no compensation for them Ford Toyota make frame replacement panels while Chevy has no one my truck has 69k on it and truck looks amazing till you look at the frame even the new trucks how can a dealer charge so much money for a truck and by the time it's paid off it's unsafe it's gonna cost me several thousands of dollars and hopefully be able to fix there poor quality issue if not I'm stuck paying 10,000 dollars to pay off truck or my credit is no good and can't get another vehicle I love paycheck to paycheck and just purchased this truck used 12 months ago the frame is solid on outside but it rotten from inside out just like ever other Chevy sad for a truck with such low miles below is a image of how nice truck is and taking care of again this has 69,000miles on it now I can't get it to pass inspection

Excessive rust 2009 Chevy Silverado with 69k miles on it truck has always been garage kept and meticulously taking care of frame is rusted truck is junk still owe money on it Chevy needs to do something major problem here

On or around the end of September of 2022. My 2009 Chevrolet Duramax began to act up . Showing a trouble code of U0101… TCM could not communicate with the Rest of the vehicle. Contacted all the local auto parts stores. Nobody could get this part. Finally contacted the dealer. No luck , this part is on national back order. Contacted GM , they have no idea when this part is going to be available. After months of research I have found there is 1,000s of trucks parked awaiting for this one part. Ironically if you read some of the stories. Regardless of what year the truck is or how many miles is on it. They have all went out around the same time… odd my truck has been parked awaiting this part for 7 months. I’ve continued to make payments on this undriveable vehicle. Not only am I making payments on the truck I cannot pull my trailer for my lawn care business. Gm is costing us money everyday. Something has to change ASAP.

My 2009 Silverado has a very rusted frame. I have replaced bedsides and rocker panels due to excessive rust. Now the frame has holes in it. I'm not sure when it becomes a critical safety incident, but it is bad. It is ridiculous that I have owned this truck since 2012 when it had 42,000 miles on it. This frame is terrible for a well-taken care of truck.

Service Trailer Brake System. Defective wiring harness

The dash is cracked. There was a lawsuit against GM about this issue, and im filling a complaint also. This can cause a safety issue by the broken dash could possibly puncture the airbag.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 4 SPOTS AND DEFROST CENTER DASH VENT BROKEN. HAPPENED OVER THE FIRST 4-5 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP.

WHEN REPLACING THE FUEL PUMP THE MECHANIC NOTED THAT THE FRAME HAD SERIOUS RUST CORROSION AND ALSO THE BRAKE LINES HAD SERIOUS RUST ISSUES.

DASH COVER KEEPS CRACKING I'VE TALKED TO OTHERS SILVERADO TRUCK OWNERS AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THE TRUCK IS NOT IN MOTION WHEN THIS HAPPENS . IT'S AN ON GOING OCCURRENCE

THE DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS THROUGHOUT

I CAME BACK FROM WORK AND THE DASH IS CRACKED. DOORS WERE LOCKED. *TR

DASH BOARD CRACKED AS APPARENTLY MANY OTHERS HAVE. NOT THAT MANY MILES ON IT

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

4X4 TRANSFER CASE ENCODER MOTOR FAILS AND CAUSES YOUR SERVICE 4X4 LIGHT TO COME ON AND YOU CANT SELECT 4X4 ON YOUR VEHICLE.

MUSTY ODOR FROM AIR CONDTIONING SYSTEM MAY CAUSE REACTION TO MOLD OR MILDEW.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKIED, BREAKING, AND DETERIORATING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IN VARIOUS OTHER AREAS ALONG THE DASH. IN THE EVENT OF A FRONT END COLLISION, PIECES OF THE FRACTURED DASH COULD BECOME POTENTIAL PROJECTILES CAUSING FURTHER INJURIES.

ELECTRONIC DEVICE BELOW DRIVERS SEAT CORRODED DUE TO ACOUSTICAL PAD RETAINING MOISTURE. AIR BAG LIGHT AND INSTRUMENT SAFETY ISSUE. ALREADY RECALL ON CERTAIN VIN, HOWEVER MY TRUCK VIN NOT LISTED.

OUTSIDE CHROME DOOR HANDLES (3 OF FOUR) ARE EXTREMELY LOOSE AND FALLING OFF. ONE DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY IN ADDITION, THE BROKEN HANDLES DO NOT FASTEN SECURELY

DASH IS CRACKED OVER PASSENGER AIR BAG ,ALSO CRACKED IN CENTER OF DASH, AND CRACKED ON DRIVER SIDE.

THIS IS AN AIRBAG CONCERN, THERE IS CRACKING IN THE DASH BOARD NEAR THE PASENGER AIRBAG. THIS STARTED TWO MONTHS AGO, BUT THE CRACK KEEPS DEVOLPING. I HAVE ALSO HEARD OTHER CASES OF 2007-2013 GM VEHICLES. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS AFFECTS THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A CONCERN BECAUSE I HAVE HEARD OTHER COMPLAINTS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN IT STARTED. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE OF THE WEAK PLASTIC.

DASHBOARD CRACK IN SEVERAL PLACES/INCLUDING AROUND AIR BAGS/THERE IS A RECALL ON AIR BAGS BUT A PERMANENT FIX HAS NOT BEEN FOUND. WHEN A FIX IS FOUND MY VEHICLE CAN NOT BE WORK ON AS IS BECAUSE THE CRACKS AROUND THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. CANNOT RIDE ANY ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

OK

THE DASH CRACKED NEXT TO THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER. IT DID SO COMPLETELY BY ITSELF SOMETIME BETWEEN ABOUT MAY 10 AND MAY 18 . IT WAS FINE THE LAST TIME I DUSTED THE DASH OFF AROUND MAY 10. I DISCOVERED IT A COUPLE OF DAYS A GO. I HAVE FOUND THAT IT SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN 2OO7 TO 2O13 GM TRUCK TYPE VEHICLES. MY SON IN LAW HAD SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2010 SILVERADO HE BOUGHT NEW. I ALSO PURCHASED MY 2009 SILVERADO NEW. I ALSO GOT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE. SEEMS THE AIRBAG PROBLEM COULD BE MORE DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF THE CRACKED DASH. DON'T KNOW IF TRUCK WAS STATIONARY OR MOVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I ASSUME IT MAY HAVE BEEN PARKED AS I DON'T REMEMBER HEARING ANY SORT OF CRACKING SOUND.

TOP OF DASH COVER HAS CRACKED AROUND AIR BAG AND BOTTOM CORNER OF DRIVERS SIDE APPEARED MAYBE A YEAR AFTER PURCHASED NEW. NOT AWARE EXACTLY WHEN IT HAPPENED BUT HAS STEADILY GOTTEN WORSE.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AND CONTINUES TO CRACK. IT RATTLES HORRIBLY AND THE MAJOR CONCERN IS THAT IF THE AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED, SHARP HARD PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL BE SHOT THROUGHOUT THE TRUCK INTERIOR OR THE CRACKED DASH COULD PUNCTURE THE AIR BAG MAKING THE AIR BAG USELESS.
