CHEVY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THERE BAD AFM WHICH IS CAUSING THIS ISSUE.

MY 07 CHEVY SUBURBAN HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACKS ARE NEAR THE AIR BAG AND CLOSE TO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE DASHBOARD RATTLES AND I AM CONCERNED THAT AN AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT WILL CONSIST OF SHRAPNEL FROM THE DASHBOARD AS WELL. ALSO, FURTHER CRACKING OF THE DASHBOARD COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THE DASHBOARD TO CAVE IN ALL TOGETHER WHILE DRIVING. THESE CRACKS HAVE BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS GM CUSTOMERS, SO THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY CONCERN THAT IS IN NEED OF AN INVESTIGATION AND RECALL ACTION FROM GM. THANKS
MY VEHICLE WAS HAVING TROUBLE STARTING AND IDLING ROUGH. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW FUEL PUMP AND AIR FILTER. I HAD THOSE CHANGED IN TOTAL SPENDING $1700. THREE DAYS LATER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED FLASHING IN MY CAR. I COULD FEEL THE ENGINE MISFIRING AND WAS LOSING POWER. THE OIL PRESSURE WAS FLUCTUATING RAPIDLY. I DROVE IT BACK TO MY HOME AND HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE CYLINDER 4 WAS MISFIRING CAUSED BY THE CYLINDER DEACTIVATION FAILURE WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE AUTOMATIC FUEL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM. THIS IS CAUSING THE LIFTER TO FAIL.

TAKATA RECALL: IT'S BEEN OVER 9 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE REGARDING MY SUBURBAN. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL CALLS AND STILL NO FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE EMISSION SENSOR CAUSED BY GAS TANK CAP. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM FOR ALL SUBURBANS. I ALSO EXPERIENCED A LOSS IN POWER WITH THIS VEHICLE WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. THE STABILITRQCK LIGHT CAME ON AND I WAS ABLE TO SAFELY EXIT THE HIGHWAY. COULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT IF INWAS NOT NEAR AN EXIT.
THE FIRST ISSUE WAS THE DASHBOARD CRAKING IN NUMEROUS SPOTS AND CHEVY DID FINALY REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH. THE NEXT ISSUE WAS THE PAINT ON THE "WHITE EXTERIOR" BEGAIN CHIPPING OFF IN LARGE 4-7 INCH PARTS ALL OVER THE SUV. THE DEALER FORCED ME TO PAY HALF OR THE PARTIAL REPAINT .1000. :( TAKATA RECALL IS THE LATEST. I WONDER HOW AMERICA CAN BE GREAT AGAIN WITH THIS LEVEL OF QUALITY. SO SAD.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED MY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016. I CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TODAY, 11/29/16 FOR AN UPDATE & THEY BASICALLY HAD NO NEW INFORMATION OR PARTS AVAILABILITY. WHEN CAN I REASONABLY EXPECT MORE INFORMATION RELATED TO THIS RECALL AND OR PARTS AVAILABILITY?
"TAKATA RECALL" GM TELLS ME THAT I JUST HAVE TO DRIVE MY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE UNTIL THEY COME UP WITH A REPAIR. I ALSO HAVE A CRACKED DASHBOARD WHICH I THINK HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE AIRBAG.NOT SAFE FOR MY FAMILY OF 5. I SPENT $60,000 FOR A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP!!! SUSPENSION LIGHT ON AND DEALERSHIP WONT TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG.

I HAVE SEVERAL CRACKS THROUGHOUT MY DASH AND AM CONCERNED THAT I WILL HAVE ADDITIONAL DANGEROUS SHARP PLASTIC FRAGMENTS IN ADDITION TO METAL FRAGMENTS FROM THE OPEN AIR BAG RECALL. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM GM HAS FAILED TO ADDRESS. IN ADDITION, I ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ENGINE TEMPS HEATING UP TO WHERE THE AC GOES INTO FAIL SAFE THAT GM SAYS THEY CANNOT FIX EVEN AT MY EXPENSE. AFTER ABOUT 10-15 MINUTES RUNNING IN IDLE TO LAUNCH MY BOAT I CAME BACK TO FIND MY CHILDREN DIAPHORETIC IN THEIR CAR SEATS AND HAD TO USE MY SKILLS AS A PARAMEDIC TO COOL THEM DOWN DUE TO THE EXTREME TEMPERATURE IN THE VEHICLE. I CANNOT EVEN SIT IN DRIVE FOR A FEW MINUTES PICKING UP THE CHILDREN WITHOUT THIS HAPPENING. I PUT A TEMPORARY FIX ON WITH AN AFTERMARKET ELECTRIC FAN AFTER REPLACING THE FAN CLUTCH AND WHOLE COOLING SYSTEM IN THE VEHICLE, PLUS 3 AC COMPRESSORS NOW TO BUY ME A FEW MORE MINUTES. GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I NOW ONLY USE THE VEHICLE IN THE WINTER WHEN THE CHILDREN ARE WITH ME FOR THEIR SAFETY.

WAS ADVISED OF RECALL ON DEFECTIVE AIR BAG INFLATOR AND WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID THAT SINCE NO ONE HAD BEEN KILLED IN A CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, THAT MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. WHEN I NOTED THAT THE OTHER VEHICLES IN WHICH FOLKS WERE INJURED OR DIED WERE DEAMED SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY KILLED SOMEONE, THE SIMPLY REPEATED THE STATEMENT THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE.
DASH CRACKED WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, I HAD IT REPLACED ONCE AND IT CRACKED AGAIN. IT HAS JUST GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS. IT NOW HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS ALL OVER THE DASH AND RATTLES WHEN YOU DRIVE DOWN THE STREET. NOT ONLY DOES IT POSE A SAFETY CONCERN BUT S ONE OF THE MOST ANNOYING THINGS EVER.

TAKATA RECALL CHEVROLET DEALER WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM WHICH MEANS OUR FAMILY IS DRIVING A KILLING MACHINE BECAUSE WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LEASE OR BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE. WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT RECOURSE WE HAVE?
THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. THIS IS ALARMING AS THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASH/ AIR BAG IS NOW AT RISK. SHOULD THESES AIRBAGS DEPLOY I AM AFRAID THE PLASTIC WILL HIT MYSELF OR WORSE MY WIFE AND FAMILY.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COVER FRACTURED DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL.

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN HERE PLACES AND IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT MAY RUPTURE DUE TO THE SHARP EDGES OF THE CRACK
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CHECK ENGINE, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, CHECK SUSPENSION, AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,904.
DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING FOR 2-3 YEARS. DEALER REFUSES TO DOCUMENT OR REMEDY. SAYS VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIR BAGS GO OFF OR IF A CHILD WAS TO REACH UP AND TOUCH THE CRACK. IT IS RAZOR SHARP. 3 CRACKS TOTAL. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND NOT SITTING IN THE SUN.
THE DASHBOARD ON OUR 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAS CRACKED FOR THE 2ND TIME. THE FIRST TIME THE DEALERSHIP EAGERLY REPLACED THAT DASHBOARD AFTER ABOUT 2 YRS. NOW 165,000 MILES LATER THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AGAIN (CRACKED ABOUT 2 YRS AGO) IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBLITY FOR THIS POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. I THINK IT IS SAD THAT WE COULD END UP LIKE THE AIRBAG RECALL WHERE IT IS TOO LATE BEFORE SOMETHING WILL BE DONE. WE HAVE KEPT THIS SUBURBAN BECAUSE IT RUNS GOOD AND IT HAS PROVIDED A SAFE MEANS OF TRANSPORTAION FOR OUR 3 TEENAGE BOY DRIVERS UP TO THIS POINT. IT HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS AT THIS TIME BUT WE DON'T WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT PARTS GO FLYING IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS PROBLEM AND AGREE TO FIX IT NO MATTER WHAT THE MILEAGE-IT WAS ALEADY REPLACED ONCE SO OBVIOUSLY IT'S NOT OWNER NEGLECT!
I PURCHASED MY CHEVY SUBURBAN AND NOTICE A SMALL CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD. AFTER ONLY A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASED I NOTICE THE SAME CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD EXTENDING TOWARD THE AIRBAG AND DOWN TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL . I AM CONCERN DUE TO IT MAY AFFECT THE AIRBAGS PERFORMANCE. IF SOMEONE CAN PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. I WOULD APPRECIATE IT. BEST, CARINA
CRACKED DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AT THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. FRONT IMPACT COLLISION COULD CAUSE PIECES OF DASH TO PUNCTURE AIRBAG OR INJURE PASSENGERS.
THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES, NOTABLY AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE LARGER DASH PANEL WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT HAS CRACKED AGAIN, TWICE. THE SMALLER, FORWARD DASH PANEL IS ALSO NOW CRACKED. THE DEALER HAS REFUSED ASSISTANCE. ALL CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
