2012 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Unknown Or Other Problems

Rusted Frame and body

I have been shopping for a truck for a little over a year now specifically a 2012 Chevy Silverado. To date everyone I found has frame and body rust but the frame rust is so bad that most aren’t safe to drive.

Unknown

I took my truck for a routine service with the dealership. The Service Rep told me that my truck frame was rusting out to the point where it's near unsafe to drive. He told me it'd be 15k to replace the frame. I find it incredible that a 12 year old American made vehicle can have the frame rust out so fast and to such a degree without the dealership or manufacturer knowing that there is a potential safety risk in their product.

The frame has rust holes and rusted through the bottom on the driver side.

The trailer hitch assembly has rusted to the point where it is barely being held to truck frame. It is available for inspection (I do not know how to attach photos to this notice but can e-mail if provided with your address) Have been advised by Chevrolet dealership service manager not to use the hitch under any circumstance. Do not know if any other portion of frame assembly is compromised, nor can this be determined accurately by me. But if other portions of the frame are “rusted out “ the danger is grave: the tubular structural element to which the hitch assembly is attached is the same diameter and thickness as the tubular structural supports which link the lengthwise H elements of the vehicle frame. It is therefore reasonable to conclude these structural components may lack structural integrity due to possible rust and perforations Concluding; 1. the hitch assembly is an integral part the vehicle’s structure. Failure would threaten the life of occupants as a trailer broke loose and swerved.. Others in proximity to the flailing or loose trailer would also be threatened. 2. Given the affected element is similar to other structural iparts used in the vehicle’s frame, failure of their structural integrity may cause failure of a portion of the frame, leading to additional risks to occupants, surrounding humans, vehicles and property. 3. The rusted assembly is not easily visible so that a warning to owners highlighting this potential risk to life should be sent ASAP. 4. Inspection of undercarriages of this and similar vehicles should be mandated to determine the existence of rust-damaging structural integrity. 5. Proper metallurgy/coating/reinforcement or redesign should be mandated of manufacturers.

2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup truck has very extensive frame damage for 115k miles which has caused it to be unsafe to drive and basically scrap. I am the 2nd owner of the truck. When I bought it at 70k miles it definitely had rust on the frame, but no major holes. It has now rusted through in multiple spots. Is there anything that I can do or am I pretty much out of luck?

Rotted frame after 9 years old truck

I bought this truck new and the frame is rotted. I have 93000 miles and it is garaged year round. I also purchased a rust preventive electronic device with the vehicle. I have noticed wax coating that has come off in the past and sprayed with fluid film. I just found a hole yesterday and looked further and believe after doing some research that this is a constant problem with the Silverado and GM has not been held accountable for inferior frame rails. My truck body is in excellent shape for the year. I understand I live in a state that teats their roads unnescessarily, but this is absolutely absurd. Toyota had the same issue and took care of their customers Gm should do the same.Thank you

Rear frame by the gas tank. The truck could break while hauling a load putting myself and any other motorists in danger. Widricks auto inspected the vehicle truck failed inspection due to multiple holes in the frame. No symptoms seemed present. I bought the vehicle on 3/10/20

Rotten frame. Trucks body and other components are in very good to fair condition. Found out after I bought it GMC is having major issues with frame failure and have not yet remedied the issue. I think they should be required to fix these frames or buy back the vehicles at a fair price to both parties. This is a major safety issue especially if either the owner is not aware or does not have the means to simply eat the cost of a truck that cost anywhere form 15,000 to the mid 20,000s. It is not right to the consumer to sell vehicles that can't structurally make it past 100,000 mile mark. Also I would like to report that dealers (at least the one I bought it off of) are not notifying customers of these issues and also in my case undercoating over the rotten frame to pass a basic consumers inspection. Not good for road safety and not good for the consumer.

2012 Chevy Silverado rotted frame. The contact stated that the sway bar was so rusted that it broke in half and was replaced. The front struts were also super rusted. The contact does not feel comfortable driving the vehicle until the issues are addressed.

Had an inspection done and was told that the frame is partially rusted through. We took it to our dealership to be fixed and was told there was nothing they could do because Chevy does not want the liability of fixing rusted frames for its 2010-2013 models. I also found this to be true with local body shops in my area so basically our 11,000.00 vehicle is junk. After my research, this seems to be a common problem with Chevy and should be investigated. They should be ashamed of their business tactics by putting people's lives in jeopardy

truck frame on both sides of vehicle is rusting through, requiring structural repair. Truck has been carefully maintained and the body is generally rust free. I am the original owner and am nowhere near salt water. Truck has been garage-kept since purchase. If left undetected, structural collapse could have caused injury or death. Damage was confirmed by tire shop[Discount Tire in Gaylord,MI.] on 9/7/23. No prior indication of excessive rust.

THE FRAME IS RUSTING OUT. THE REAR SHOCK MOUNT IS RUSTED ON BOTHE SHOCKS. THE MAIN FRAME RAIL IS RUSTED AND HAS HOLES IN THE FRAME. BEFORE LONG THIS WILL CAUSE A PROBLEM IF THE FRAME GIVES WAY. THE REAR WHEEL WELLS ARE ALSO RUSTED ABOVE THE TIRES ON BOTH SIDE. IT WAS INSPECTED BY A BODY REPAIR AND SAID FRAME WILL NEED REPLACED ALONG WITH TWO BED PANELS

December 2022, General Motors-Onstar system was deactivated in million of vehicles across America. This system was sold as a MAIN SAFETY and SECURITY system, integrated in millions of General Motor products was advertised as next generation Safety. This system allowed active subscribers the peace of mind that in the event of an emergency, they had us covered. motor vehicle collision detection for the event that you crashed, they could send first responders. If the vehicle was stolen, they had safe methods to locate and disable the vehicle. If you locked your keys in the vehicle with your child or pet, they could unlock it for you. In 2015 Canada "sunsetted" their 2G network which in turn would have disable Onstar for millions of Canadian vehicle owners across Canada. General Motors-Onstar offered FREE HARDWARE UPGRADES to keep Onstar active for whomever wanted and chose to keep the Onstar system working for them. Please refer to https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/SB-10089229-2280.pdf and https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10166666-9999.pdf. What about the vehicles sold in America? What about the people who purchased General Motor products for the specific reason of Onstar peace of mind? The people who want the system to function as it should? What if I do not have my cell phone with me in a remote location and I crash my truck at 70 mph? No Onstar to alert first responders. What if I accidentally lock my grandchild and keys in my car? Must i now break a window instead of calling Onstar and asking for an emergency unlock? And a very important one for me as many others. What if my vehicle gets stolen. Now there is no way to locate it. There is no way for Onstar to SAFELY shut it down so it could be recovered. I paid yearly for Onstar services for that exact peace of mind as did MANY OTHERS. There is even a petition where people are saying that if given the choice, they, like myself, would gladly pay to have the system upgraded like they did for Canada.

Dash Board of my vehicle has cracked around the area of my air bag. Worried that my air bag will not work properly if ever in an accident. No dash board should crack! Either the material's used when made were not as durable as they should be. Truck has been maintained in excellent condition since it was bought from dealership. No inspection, no safety lights on, no warning lights on. As being the original owner and seeing this worries me and my safety. NO DASHBOARD SHOULD NEVER CRACK/SPLIT.

Cracks in dash around passenger side airbag. Concern is that if airbag deploys that the dash components around the airbag will become dangerous projectiles.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2012 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN THERE SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THE CRACK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASHBOARD JUST APPEARED FROM NORMAL CITY STREET AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. I AM CONCERNED IT COULD BE A PROBLEM IF I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE SILVERADO DASH MELTS AND CRACKS. ON THEIR SITE THERE IS A STATEMENT THAT THE CRACKS CAN BREAK LOOSE AND CAUSE INJURIES BUT THE RECALL WAS DISCONTINUED. THE PASSENGER SEAT LEAKS FUEL AND THEY REFUSED TO CORRECT THAT. VEHICLES ARE VERY NOISY, WE HAVE TO TALK LOUD OR TURN THE RADIO UP TO HEAR. I MOTION AND STATIONARY. PURCHASED NEW IN 2012. THESE ARE KNOWN ISSUES AND THE DEALER AND THE COMPANY'S HEADQUARTERS STATED THEY ARE KNOWN ISSUES BUT THERE ARE NOT ANY RECALLS AND WOULD NOT REPLACE OR GIVE ANY DISCOUNT IN FIXING THE DEFECTS.

DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS IN CERTAIN AREAS, INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND THE MIDDLE SECTION IS FLIMSY AND ABLE TO BE PULLED UP OR PUSHED DOWN.

I FOUGHT GM ON THIS FOR 7 MONTHS. AND DID SO 30 DAYS FROM MY PURCHASE DATE. WHEN I SLOW DOWN MY TRUCK MAKES A HORRIBLE CLUNKING NOISE. AND WILL REV UP IN A SENSE AND PUSH YOU FORWARD. MOST OF THE TIME IT'S ONLY PROBABLY A FOOD BUT OTHER TIMES I HAS CAUSED ME TO GO THROUGH STOP SIGNS. LUCKILY NO ONE IS THERE BUT I FEAR THAT WHEN I HAVE MY FIANCE AND 3 KIDS IN THE TRUCK I MAY GET PUSHED FORWARD AND T BONED. OR I MAY GO INTO SOMEONE IN FRONT OF ME. OR INTO A FENCE. AND THEY SAY IT'S NORMAL EVERY TIME. BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE AND MY THING IS IS IF IT'S NORMAL.. THEN IT'S A SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE READ REVIEWS ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT'S NOT SAFE AND DEFINITELY NOT PRACTICAL. THEY SAY IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH MY 6 SPEED. BUT I FOUGHT GM AND HE PLACE I BOUGHT IT FROM FOR MONTHS AND MONTHS. STARTING FROM REPAIRS ON MY TRUCK THAT WAS PROMISED TO BE FIXED TO THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND THEM CLAIMING THEY FIXED IT WITH SOME SENSOR. THEN LYING SAYING THEY NEVER FIXED ANYTHING WHEN GM QUESTIONED THEM. LUCKILY I HAD SOMEONE THAT WORKED THERE THAT FELT BAD FOR ME SO HE GAVE ME ALL THE INFO I NEEDED. ALL IN ALL GM ENDED UP GIVING ME A BUMPER TO BUMPER GM WARRANTY FOR 4YRS. FOR A PROBLEM THEY CLAIM WAS NORMAL. THAT'S GENEROUS OF THEM. BUT IT'S GETTING WORSE AND I'M SCARED FOR MY FAMILIES SAFETY.

I WENT OUT TO MY TRUCK ON 10/15/2016 TO NOTICE A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD BETWEEN THE AIRBAG AND THE VENT. SINCE THEN I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS TO STARTING WITH THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT MY TRUCK FROM. I EXPLAINED TO THEM WHAT WAS GOING ON TO ONLY BE TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. I CAN HOWEVER PAY OUT OF MY POCKET FOR A NEW DASHBOARD INSTALLED. NOW I FIND THIS AGGRAVATING AS THIS IS NOT SOMETHING I DID NOR WAS THE VEHICLE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS SIMPLY BEEN SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY!!! I THEN CALLED A BODY SHOP TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO, IT WAS THEN I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR CHEVY AND THAT THIS CRACK WILL CONTINUE TO SPIDER OUT AND EVENTUALLY SPREAD!!!!! THEY CAN FIX IT BUT UNLESS I REPLACE THE WHOLE DASHBOARD THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY IT!!!! BUT AGAIN I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF MY POCKET. I THEN RESEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF EXACTLY HOW MANY CASES THERE ARE OUT THERE INVOLVING DASHBOARD CRACKS, COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS A LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVY FOR THIS EXACT REASON. IF CHEVY HAS THIS MANY COMPLAINTS AND IS AWARE OF THE DASHBOARD CRACKING WHY AREN'T THEY TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND OFFER A RESOLUTION! THIS CONCERNS ME AS THIS IS NEAR THE AIRBAG, COULD THIS CAUSE HARM TO THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGERS IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY???????????

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED RIGHT NEAR AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF CLEANER TO MAKE IT CRACK AND I ALSO USE A VISOR TO COVER WIND SHIELD. I HAD THIS TRUCK FOR A YEAR AND COUPLE MONTHS. EVERY PERSON THAT I SPEAK WITH HAD SAME PROBLEM. AND THE SAME SPOT. I WAS LITERALLY JUST ON MY WAY TO DAD'S HOUSE WITH A BIRTHDAY CAKE AND I HEARD A NOISE SO WHEN I GOT TO MY DESTINATION I LOOKED AND DIDN'T NOTICE ANYTHING SO MY BOYFRIEND LOOKED AND SAW THE CRACK.
