2009 SILVERADO CRACKED PASSENGER SIDE DASH BOARD HAD IT REPLACED BY GMC DEALER AND IT CRACKED AGAIN SAME PLACE AS THE FIRST CRACK. TRUCK HAS LESS THEN 77 THOUSAND MILES.

THE DASH PANELS ON THE TOP OF THE DASH BOARD HAVE COMPLETELY BROKEN I FEEL THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE. PIECES OF THE DASH COULD POSSIBLY BECOME A HAZARD AND INJURE MYSELF OR MY PASSENGERS THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE AMONG MANY CHEVROLET VEHICLES

CRACKING IDENTIFIED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON THE DASH OF THE TRUCK. DISCOVERED WHEN REPLACING TRUCK WINDSHIELD. CRACKING ALSO SEEN ON OPPOSITE SIDE OF DASH.

SEVERAL CRACKS IN MY DASH (4-5). ONE IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASH IS SO BRITTLE IT CRACKS FROM JUST CLOSING THE DOOR. I'M AFRAID WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF I'M IN AN ACCIDENT AND BROKEN DASH PIECES GO FLYING THROUGHOUT THE CAB. THIS IS NO DOUBT A SAFETY CONCERN! NOT TO MENTION AN EYE SORE AND RESALE KILLER. THIS STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO AND CONTINUES TO GET WORSE.

FUEL LEAKING/SPRAYING OUT OF THE REAR AUXILIARY FUEL TANK. I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF RAW GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION I OBSERVED THE RAW FUEL WAS COMING OUT OF THE FUEL MODULE CONNECTING FUEL LINE. THE METAL FUEL LINE SITS IN A WELL OF THE REAR TANK AND WAS COMPLETELY COVERED WITH DIRT/MOISTURE/RAW FUEL. THE TANK WAS REMOVED AND WE IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE METAL PORTION OF THE FUEL MODULE METAL PIPING WAS RUSTED THRU AND THAT WAS WHERE THE RAW FUEL WAS BEING SPRAYED/POOLING IN THE WELL AREA. THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANK & MODULE CREATES A PERFECT LOCATION FOR DIRT/MOISTURE TO ACCUMULATE. ANY TYPE OF IGNITION SOURCE COULD HAVE CAUSED A CATASTROPHIC FIRE AND POSSIBLE EXPLOSION. THE REMOVED ORIGINAL FUEL MODULE WAS IN PERFECT WORKING CONDITION EXCEPT FOR THE ROTTED METAL PORTION OF THE MODULE. I REPLACED THE ROTTED FUEL MODULE WITH A NEW GM OEM FUEL MODULE. THIS NEW MODULE HAS THE SAME EXACT CONSTRUCTION AS THE ORIGINAL PART. SINCE TH

WHILE DRIVING MY 2009 SILVERADO AT 33,000 MILES I NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH. AFTER TAKING TO THE DEALERSHIP IT WAS DETERMINED THE #7 CYLINDER WAS NOT WORKING. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC THE AFM FOR THE 5.3 LITER ENGINES HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE. HALF OF THE ENGINE WAS REBUILT DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF CARBON BUILT UP INSIDE THE ENGINE. AGAIN AT 78,000 MILES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AGAIN. THIS TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 2 WEEKS TO AND DETERMINED THE ENGINE HAD EXCESSIVE CARBON BUILD UP AND A ENGINE SOAK WAS PERFORMED ALONG WITH SPLASH GUARDS ADDED TO THE VALVE COVERS TO KEEP THE ENGINE OIL FROM ESCAPING AS THE AFM WAS OPEARTIONAL. AT 98,000 MILES THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR AND THE VALVE COVER GASKET HAD TO BE REPLACED. NOW, AT 140,000 MILES THE WATER PUMP, CRANK SHAFT AND BEARINGS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOT REBUILD THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MILEAGE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL EVERY 3,0

I GOT THIS TRUCK USED AT 94K MILES ON IT. IT WAS STILL IN STANDARD WARRANTY. I GOT THE OIL CHANGED STARTED GETTING THAT CLICKING/KNOCKING NOISE. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP THAT DID THE OIL CHANGED. THEY LOOKED INTO AND TOLD ME IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVY ENGINES IS THE VALVE LIFTERS BREAK AND NEEDS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE CAMS. IF I DRIVE TOO MUCH A POSSIBILITY TO ADD SHAVINGS INTO THE MOTOR AND TEAR IT UP. QUOTES FROM 3 DIFFERENT FRIEND RECOMMEND AUTO SHOPS FROM ALL OF THEM TO GET A NEW ENGINE OR GET RID OF THE TRUCK. I AM STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON IT. SO CAN'T DO THAT. I DID TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY REFUSED TO HELP ME AT ALL. I WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD AND GOOD LUCK. THAT SUCKS! I DID MAKE A SCENE TO THEM IN FRONT OF CUSTOMERS. SINCE THEN I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH FINDING OUT THIS IS VERY MUCH A PROBLEM IN ALL CHEVY ENGINES DATING BACK TO 06.
