I got a code p2138 Throttle/Pedal Position Sensor/Switch. Upon doing my own research on this code I found out it is a manufacture defect. And they are aware this is caused because the manufacturer did not seal the antenna correctly so water gets in and damages wires and sensors
Rusted frame. Weekend structure. Can cause complete loss, dangerous, should be buy backs or added structure for frame damages. No protective devices, coatings, nothing to prevent rusting on frame that holds motor, transmission and over all vehicle together. This is a death sentence to owners of this truck. It cost me 2700. to have extra metal welded on the early rusted out frame to avoid disaster and accidents. This is something the manufacturer should have fixed since it is clearly a manufacturing defect. This should not have been happening at any stage of owning these trucks.

Was sitting in my truck truck was off. Just heard a load cracking noise! looked and seen 2 different cracks in my dash. Driver side and passenger side of dash.
Shortly after purchasing my 2010 Silverado a small crack appeared on the dash by the corner of the passenger air bag. A month or so later another crack developed above the instrument cluster that is now (years later) I have friends with similar trucks and these cracks occurred in the identical spot on their dashs. It has to be a risk to the airbag, or in any front impact. These cracks are sharp and right in the driver and passengers face. After searching online I have discovered it is a widespread issue.
The dashboard is cracking and falling in all around the airbags and instrument cluster. If the truck is ever in a wreck the pieces can injure or cause death to the driver and passengers
Ignition ~ won't turn over. Only ignition key & fob on the key ring ~ key will not turn over, can't start car & now air bag light comes on & off intermittently.
Takata recall our door handles in our 2010 Silverado are chrome and they are peeling and have sliced open my wife's finger. These are very sharp and are peeling right at the top edge on both front doors.
Dash began to crack around the passenger airbag door. If airbag was to go off, dash pieces would go towards occupants. Called GM, said no recalls and would have to replace out of pocket. Should be a safety recall. Numerous other similar models affected.
Interior door handles peeling chrome plate. Leaves razor sharp edges that cut fingers, drawing blood when exiting the vehicle. Less than 70,000 miles of use. Similar to 2007 issues.
My dash on my 2010 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is cracked in multiple places, including over the passenger airbag and instrument cluster. Over the instrument cluster there is now a 6 inch wide hole which leaves electrical components exposed. This is a large safety issue and I would like to have a factory replacement since this a widely known defect by GM.
My 2010 Silverado 1500 dash board has cracked in two locations. The vehicle was stationary parked at work. Siting outside in 73 degree weather. Car was cool on interior and A/C had been used prior to parking. Got in the truck. Started it up and heard a snap and there was the crack.
