Takata recall has not been completed on this vehicle while they have been doing the silverado 2500 and 3500. This issue needs to be resolved already, it has been long enough!

12/30/2017 ODI #11057501.0

Takata recall manufacturer recall number2049151 NHTSA recall number16v381 it has been nearly two years and Chevrolet still says there is no remedy for my recall, the service agents said for nobody to ride in my passenger seat due to safety reasons because of the airbag, but with a single cab truck there is no way around that. I have been repeatedly hung up on when talking to the service representatives over the phone about the issue. Two years is way to long for something that should be an easy fix for them.

Have 3 cracks in dashboard. 2 above driver side instrument cluster, and 1 on passenger side next to passenger airbag. Had piece of dash break off and fall inside dashboard assembly. Gm only wants to compensate up to 20% to have this replaced. I believe that gm should be replacing these at their cost due to the number of complaints of this happening. Feel that this could be a safety issue if I were to get into a wreck, and pieces of the dashboard break off. *js

I just bought a used 2006 silverado 1500 from a dealer. Went home with a full tank of gas, week later went to fill it up and the needle stopped halfway between 3/4 and full and it would not let me put it in. Truck had 14650 miles on it when it started and now has 16450. Still under warranty and has been to the dhop 6 times and they have replaced every part of the fuel system and still no better. The next step is to bring a gm rep in to determine what is wrong. *tr

2007 Chevy silverado, purchased in late 2006. Took vehicle to dealer where purchased could find nothing wrong. Brakes squeaking very loudly, truck is bouncing erratically and sense a steering issue. 1st dealer also told me the tires just needed to be rotated. The truck is now at another dealer and I have yet to hear the verdict. The truck makes whining noises like in old trucks when the power steering would go bad. This truck currently has 21,000 miles. *tr

2007 Chevrolet silverado TPMS (tire pressure monitor system) inoperative. The TPMS system does not relearn as outlined in the vehicle owner manual and if attempted the system is rendered inoperative. A consumer may not know the system malfunction until the first attempt to relearn, but gm supplied document id# 1883524 indicates general motors was aware of the issue on 12/28/06. Despite this information they continue to ignore this issue. It has now been one year since they have identified this issue. I also attempted the relearn procedure in a 2008 vehicle as well and it did not function either. I have made several attempts contacting gm and including the selling dealer to resolve this and no fix is available. Specifically gm business resources paulo salvador (800-231-1841 ext 11824) s
