This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

My truck has roughly 26,000 miles and the airbag sensing module on it corroded due to water gathering around it in the acoustic padding. It happens because water runs down a line that enters the cab and gets absorbed by the acoustic padding. This is a known issue as there is a recall for other states. My state is not one even though Louisiana is one of the wettest states and we also use salt in the winter when the roads ice. I-??m glad I didn-??t get hurt by this since it can cause the seatbelt pretentioners to fire and/or the airbag to deploy. This is the document from GM/NHTSA. GM Bulletin [XXX] [XXX] Can you please include Louisiana in this recall since the issue is affecting us? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Driver-??s Seat belt started sporadically coming unlatched. Now the buckle won-??t go in at all. One of the seatbelts in the back is stuck in a locked position so that one is now unusable as well!
I was driving my 2009 Chevy Silverado from my Driveway onto our small main street. I was in the truck for less then 2 minutes when i heard a loud explosion and a jolt, as if i had been crashed into. My seat belt retracted pressing against my chest. i got out but there were no cars in sight. I walked around the truck to look for damage or if something like rear end locked or dropped. To my Surprise Everything looked fine. I was really shook up and Shaking. It was loud and really forced seat belt tight against me. I slowly started to drive off but my seat belt was stuck in the retracted position. I kept trying to free it up, but it was jammed. I did do a Internet search and found similar occurrences of seat belt malfunction. So to my best guess, the seat belt fired off and prematurely locked in tight position.
The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While driving at unknown speeds, the driver and passenger seat belts unlatched without warning. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer (hank graff Chevrolet davison, 800 N state rd, davison, mi 48423, 810-653-4111), but the failure could not be duplicated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 196,618.

At about 90,000 miles the cruise control stopped working and when it is warm outside the passenger's side door electrical lock will not work. It tries to push lock to unlock position, but only pushes it half way. I have read a lot about these concerns on this model vehicle. Is this 2 recalls? it should be. This is not a cheap fix.
