2009 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Unknown Or Other Problems

Recently while up on the hoist the technician said the frame rust was very severe and the truck was in danger of buckling. Should it be so bad at 114,000?

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

Airbags for the steering wheel did not deploy.

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.

A SAFETY RECALL WAS ISSUED FOR THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR. RECALL SERVICE WAS PERFORMED ON 04-12-2021 AT PARKWAY CHEVROLET IN TOMBALL, TX. THE DASH WAS CRACKED AND BROKEN WHEN THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN REMOVED THE COVER FOR THE AIRBAG.

CRACKED DASHBOARD BY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED WILL IT CAUSE THE DASH TO SHATTER CAUSING MORE INJURY. I HAD THE SAME CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE ON MY 201 3 TAHOE BUT I HAVE TRADED IT IN. IT SEEMS THAT THERE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE CHEVROLET VEHICLES SIMILAR TO MINE.

Mileage: 79,000

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.

THE DASHBOARD IMMEDIATELY SURROUNDING THE CASE HOLDING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO IS CRACKED AND BROKEN IN THREE (3) DIFFERENT PLACES, INCLUDING TWO (2) CORNERS. I WAS ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE IN GM TRUCKS, AND THAT IT IS A STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUE THAT COULD CAUSE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITHOUT ACCIDENT. I WAS ADVISED THAT SINCE OUR TRUCK IS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL TO HAVE OUR AIRBAGS TURNED OFF, ESPECIALLY SINCE THE DASH HOLDING THE AIRBAG IS BROKEN AND DAMAGED. THREE-WAY CHEVROLET IN BAKERSFIELD, CA REFUSES TO TURN THE AIRBAG OFF, EVEN AFTER AGREEING THE CRACKED AND BROKEN DASHBOARD POSES AN INHERENT SAFETY RISK BY COMPROMISING THE ALREADY DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.

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

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.

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.

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.

I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THE DASH BOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. . THE DASH IS CRACKING AROUND THE PLASTIC COVER AND I KNOW OF 2 OTHER TRUCKS THAT HAVE DONE THE SAME THING? I HAVE READ DIFFERENT ARTICLES ABOUT PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND THE DEALER TELLS THEM IT'S TOO BAD AND THEY WILL NOT WARRANT THE REPAIRS. THIS TO ME IS A VERY VERY BAD SAFETY MATTER JUST BECAUSE IF YOU ARE IN A BAD WRECK AND THE AIR BAG DOES DEPLOY THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THE DASH WILL POP THE BAG IF IT DOESN'T BLOW THE DASH BOARD UP AND SEND PLASTIC PROJECTILES FLYING ALL OVER THE PLACE POSSIBLY BLINDING OR KILLING YOU FROM THE SCRAPNAL PLASTIC PIECES. HAS ANYONE ELSE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE DASH BOARDS BEING DEFECTIVE?

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.

ON THURSDSY, APRIL 27, 2017, I PARKED MY 2009 CHEVY SILVERADO AT HOME IN MY DRIVEWAY AFTER WORK AND SHUT IT OFF FOR THE NIGHT. IT WAS STATIONARY AT THAT POINT. I DID NOT RESTART IT OR MOVE IT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY/EVENING. THE NEXT MORNING, THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. IT SOUNDED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO START, BUT TO NO AVAIL AFTER SEVERAL TRIES. I DETERMINED IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL. I CALLED A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR TECH WHO DIAGNOSED IT ON SITE, TO BE A FAULTY CHASSIS ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE, WHICH SENDS FUEL TO THE FUEL PUMP. UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I FOUND A RECALL BULLETIN / PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL #14515B ISSUED JANUARY 2015. IT CLEARLY STATES THAT THE 2007-2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO (ALONG WITH MANY OTHER MAKES/MODELS/YEARS) MAY HAVE A CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE COULD HAVE INTERNAL CONTAMINATION (WATER, BUILD-UP CAUSING WIRE AND BOLT CORROSION). I BELIEVE THIS TO BE THE CASE FOR MY VEHICLE. ACCORDING TO THE BULLETIN, THE UNSAFE FACTOR IS THAT THE "VEHICLE COULD STALL WHILE IN MOTION AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A VEHICLE CRASH." WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM472842/RCRIT-14V614-0055.PDF I AM THE THIRD OWNER SO I DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE DIRECTLY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE MAY 24, 2016.

OK

THE DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND THE DOOR TRIMS ARE ALL FALLING OFF.

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.

CRACKING DASH IN CORNERS OF AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AND ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THE DASH WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM ONCE AND NOW THE REPLACEMENT DASH HAS CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOTS. I HAVE CONCERNS OF AIRBAG SAFETY.

Mileage: 70,000

TAKATA RECALL MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES NEAR THE AIRBAG. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY WARRANTY WAS UP THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH THE CRACKS BREING SO CLOSE TO WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED, BUT THEY DID NOTHING ABOUT IT.

MY DASH WAS REPLACED AT 63000 MILES BECAUSE IT CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIRBAG. NOW IT'S CRACKED AGAIN BY THE AIRBAG IN 2 PLACES THIS TIME. I TOOK IT BACK TO HENDRICK CHEVROLET AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF THE 12 MONTHS 12000 MILE WARRANTY. I WOULD HAVE TO CALL CHEVROLET. I CALLED CHEVROLET AND TALKED TO A NICE LADY WHO TRANSFERRED ME TO A SENIOR ADVISOR WHO L EXPLAINED MY SITUATION AND CONCERN OVER SAFETY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. SHE TOOK A SECOND AND THEY HAVE DONE TESTING AND THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE IS WHAT I WAS TOLD. THEN SHE CHECKED TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE AND CAME BACK WITH THE CUSTOMER HAS TO PAY 100 % TO FIX BECAUSE IT'S COSMETIC. I'VE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT LOOKS LIKE A HUGE PROBLEM EVERYWHERE. FOR MINE TO CRACK FOR THE 2ND TIME WITHIN 28000 MILES IS UNCALLED FOR. WHAT'S IT GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING OR FIX THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE THERE GOING CHEAP AND TAKE A CHANCE. WE THE CUSTOMERS NEED ANY HELP WE CAN GET FOR CHEVROLET TO OWN UP TO THIS FLAW IN DESIGN AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

A FEW DAYS AGO WHILE DETAILING THE INTERIOR OF MY TRUCK, L NOTICED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH WHERE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS DEPLOY. I ONLY HAVE 69,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT. I TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL DELERSHIP & THE ADVISED IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY & NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I WOULD LIKE TO ADD, L JUST RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE OF THE DETERIORATING AIRBAG RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE. I'M FEARFUL TO DRIVE THIS TRUCK FOR FEAR OF DASH PIECES & EARLY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. DEALERSHIP WAS CONTACTED YESTERDAY & L WAS ADVISED BY PAUL, A SERVICE WRITER, THE PARTS TO REPAIR THIS RECALL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I ASKED ABOUT WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THE TAKATA INFLATORS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED & L OR PASSENGER WAS KILLED OR HURT? MY RESPONSE WAS THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE AT THIS TIME.

WE HAVE A DASH CRACK FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE NOT ALL THE WAY JUST CRACKS IN DIFFERENT AREAS; HOWEVER WHAT WORRIES US THE MOST IS THE 2" CRACK AT THE LEFT HAND CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. THE SPECIFIC AREA IS TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE AIRBAG SEAM THERE IS A CRACK AND I TRULY WORRY ABOUT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYING AND SHOOTING PLASTIC PIECES EVERYWHERE FROM THAT CRACK.

Mileage: 40,000

I HAVE VARIOUS CRACKS IN MY DASH. THERE IS A LARGE ONE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THIS ONE OCCURRED JUST THIS YEAR (2016). BUT THE OTHER IS MORE CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS UP AGAINST THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS ONE HAS EXISTED FOR SEVERAL YEARS (2014 OR EARLIER). I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT THIS BEING A PROBLEM UNTIL THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL CAME UP. I AM WORRIED THAT SHOULD I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THAT THE CRACKED PLASTIC WILL BECOME LOOSE DEBRIS, AND CAUSE ADDITIONAL HARM TO ANY PASSENGERS. AN INTERESTING THING I'VE NOTICED IS A POPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE DASH. THIS OCCURS AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING WITH THE AIR CONDITIONER ON FOR A WHILE. WHEN I PERFORM A GOOGLE SEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. IN FACT, THERE IS A FACEBOOK GROUP THAT HAS ABOUT 5000 MEMBERS - HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/ - THIS IS HOW I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS WEBSITE. I AM UPLOADING 2 PICTURES. THE IMAGE ENDING IN 27, IS THE CENTER CRACK. YOU'LL NOTICE THAT IT IS SPLIT COMPLETELY FOR THE FULL DEPTH OF THAT PIECE. THE IMAGE ENDING IN 32, IS THE CRACK THAT SITS NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I AM UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF THESE CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING OR NOT. THEY JUST SEEMED TO APPEAR OVER TIME.

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AND GETTING WORSE AS THE CRACK GROWS. THE CRACK IS BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND WILL CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY IN AN UNSAFE MANER AND ALSO CAUSE EXTRA DEBRIE TO FLY AROUND WHEN THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY DUE TO THE FAULTY DASH THAT AFFECTS 2007-2013 GM TRUCKS AND SUV'S

THE LOCKING MECHANISM BROKE ON ALL PASSENGER DOORS CAUSING PASSENGERS UNABLE TO OPEN THE DOOR. THE KEY-LESS ENTRY ONLY OPENS DRIVER AND RELEASE ON DOOR DOES SAME. DEALERSHIP STATED REQUIRED TO REPLACE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR ON ALL DOORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE BIG PROBLEM WITH SILVERADO TRUCKS

DASHBOARD ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS CRACKED , IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS PLASTIC FROM DASHBOARD WILL BREAK& BECOME AIRBORNE---- EYE AND FACE SAFETY HAZARD. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPLACED WITH BETTER QUALITY MATERIAL. GUESS IT IS CHEAPER TO REPLACE AN EYE THAN A CRACKED DASHBOARD.

Mileage: 59,500

WALKED OUT TO MY TRUCK TODAY TO FIND THE DASH WAS CRACKED RIGHT BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WHILE THIS DOES NOT BOTHER ME THE FACT THAT IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS DOES. SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC COULD EASILY FLY ABOUT THE CABIN IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURRED. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS AND RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. THE PLASTIC IS CHEAP AND THIN AND FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED IT WOULD INCLUDE JUST ABOUT EVERY GM TRUCK MADE SINCE 2007.
