Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought a 2006 silverado ext cab lt3 at the end of february 2006. in march headliner came down. replaced two weeks later. six weeks later headliner came down again the second time. replaced headliner one week later. two days after replacing headliner, it came down the third time. i contacted area rep to have him research the headliner issue (which i already went to two other dealerships and they are selling these trucks with the defected headliners and knowingly selling them). i waited a full month then went for another replacement which took two weeks to come in. one week later headliner coming down again the 4th time. area rep said he put in a tsb to show it is a defect that the headliners are cut too short. i checked on nhtsa and no tsb's are listed about a silverado headliner. people haven't noticed this because it isn't obvious. you have to look at the top of your open doors where the headliner meets the rubber gasket and you will see the cut of the fabric of the headline and the molded headliner piece with it. i've called area rep and it's been 3 days and no return call. i was told it has nothing to do with the factory sunroof either. if the factory knows the headliner's are defective why do they keep sending the ones that are defective instead of waiting till the right ones come out? *jb
