Been getting notification post cards about this airbag recall and called my dealer in June 2023 about getting the work done, and have not heard back from them to schedule anything. 11 months later I talked to them, and they say the part is hard to get, and they are waiting on the parts. Now I am 14 months past the time I called to schedule repairs and still no parts. I don't think this is being handled in a timely manner. Still driving around with a recalled airbag.

Our truck 7 pin female hitch plug caught fire and caught our trailer on fire. There is a recall for the 2009 Chevy 2500's but the recall is not on our VIN Number. We would like to report this just in case it is happening to other 2009 Chevy 2500 trucks. ,

Crash

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS WIRING HARNESS RUB THROUGH BEHIND THE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD,RIGHT SIDE OF DASHBOARD CRACKING ABOVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHICH WAS REPORTED AND NOTHING DONE AS REPLIES ,I SEE THIS AS A DANGER TO ME AND PASSENGERS AS IT MAY BLOW UP AND HURT OR KILL OCCUPANTS AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE A FIRE HAZARD AS PERSONAL SAFETY .

WENT TO THE STORE AND SAW MY DASH HAD A CRACK IN IT. IT WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY LOCKED. NOBODY HAD ACCESS TO IT.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG. MINE CRACKED JUST SITTING. THIS SEAMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITHIN THE GM COMMUNITY. THESE DASHES ARE CRACKING AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED SHOULD THE VEHICLE GET INTO AN IMPACT AND NOT ONLY THE AIRBAG DEPLOY BUT PLASTIC SHARDS PROJECT AHEAD OF THE AIRBAG.

LOSS IN FUEL TANK PRESSURE. STRUCTURAL STRESSING CAUSING LEAKS AT TANK, FUEL PUMP MODULE CONNECTOR AND FUEL SUPPLY HOSE. DTC CODES P0446 / P0451. EVAP LEAK LOCATED IN TOP TANK PORT AND ASSOCIATED DIRECT CONNECTION SECONDARY CRACKING OF THE PLASTIC FUEL SUPPLY LINE AT TANK TOP. TANK CRACKED AT PORT. CRACKING DUE TO STRESS FROM NORMAL DRIVING VIBRATIONS AS THESE ARES ARE PROTECTED FROM ROAD HAZARDS.RESULTING GAS LEAK WILL COVER TANK AND METAL SHROUD. FIRE HAZARD FROM LEAKING GAS.

PLASTIC DASH HAS CRACKED 1ST BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, THEN THE MIDDLE, AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE GLUED THE DASH TRYING TO STOP THE RATTLING. I FIRST NOTICED IT ABOUT A YEAR AGO , NOT SURE IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. IT HAS REDUCED THE COSMETIC VALUE OF MY TRUCK, AND IF I GET IN A WRECK IT COULD POSSIBLY SEND SHARDS OF PLASTIC INTO EYES, AND OR BODY CAUSING BODILY HARM.

CRACK IN THE DASH NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONCERNS THAT IT MAY HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND SAFETY. APPEARS TO BE DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW, AS THERE IS NO SUPPORT AND CHEAP MATERIALS.

NOT ALL OF THE GAUGE LIGHTS WORK ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SOME WORK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND OTHERS DON'T WORK AT ALL. CHECKED FUSES AND EVERYTHING ELSE I COULD AND ALL IS WELL. HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CLUSTER. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER CHEVROLET'S HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEM. GAUGES WORK FINE ITS THE LIGHTS THAT DON'T WORK.
