DASH CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG. NOT SURE WHEN IT HAPPENED. IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM.

I BOUGHT A NEW 2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN IN NOV. 2009 AND EVENTUALLY TRADED IT IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE IN JULY 2015 AS THE CRACKED DASHBOARD CONCERNED ME. IT HAD 2 CRACKS, BOTH VERY CLOSE TO THE AIRBAGS. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, IT STARTED TO CRACK IN 2011. HOWEVER, OTHER DEFECTS FOLLOWED, SUCH AS FRONT ROW CENTER SEAT LID BREAKING, DRIVERS AND FRONT PSGR SEAT REAR POCKETS BREAKING, INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STARTED TO PEEL AND CUT MY WIFE'S FINGERS A FEW TIMES, LIFTGATE'S STRUTS FAILED IN SEPT. 2012, GOT IT REPLACED (PAID OUT OF POCKET ABOUT $200), BUT BROKE AGAIN IN DEC. 2013. ON THE EXTERIOR, THE SIDE MOLDING STARTED TO CURL UP IN 2010, VERY EMBARRASSING TO SEE.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS. FIRST CRACK APPEARED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG, NEW CRACK APPEARED ON DRIVER SIDE ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CONTACTED CHEVY, AND THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY PART OF THE REPAIR. THIS PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET (SEARCH GM CRACKED DASH).

WHEN YOU ENGAGE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, THERE IS A VERY JERKY, PUSH-PULL WHEN ACCELERATING UNTIL TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR FLASHES AND TURNS STABILITRAK OFF. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT WANT TO SMOOTHLY ACCELERATING TO A SAFE MERGE IN SPEED. I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING AND CAUSING THE SPEAKER BUILT INTO THE DASH TO RATTLE UNCONTROLLABLE - THIS IS VERY IRRITATING AND A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAUSES ME TO TAKE MY EYES/HANDS OFF THE WHEEL TO TRY AND STOP THE RATTLE!

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AFTER A FEW YEARS.. ONE OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL AND AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGERS AIR BAG.. SEE PICTURES. FROM WHAT I AM HEARING THIS IS HAPPENING A LOT. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CHEV SUB AND TAHOE BUYERS.. THIS IS NOT GOOD.

2009 THE SUBURBAN HAS A CENTER MOUNTED DASH SPEAKER. THE WEIGHT OF THIS SPEAKER, OVER TIME, HAS CAUSED THE DASH TO CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER IN THE CASE THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED AND THE DASH EXPLODES?

DASH IS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG

THE DASH HAS THREE CRACKS AND MISSING A TRIANGULAR SHAPE THAT CRACKED AND FELL THROUGH THE DASH. THE CRACKS ARE WORSENING. I WAS ADVISED SAFE LIGHT THAT PHOTOS ARE TAKEN OF DASH DAMAGE BECAUSE THESE CRACKS ARE COMMON IN THESE AREAS FOR THIS VEHICLE. ALSO, THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLES ARE PEELING OFF AND HAVE CAUSED MANY BLEEDING CUTS ON MY HANDS AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS. ALSO A KNOWN DEFECT IN THIS VEHICLE. PHOTOS INCLUDED. I AM NOT CERTAIN OF WHEN EXACTLY THE CRACKS BEGAN OR WHEN EXACTLY THE PEELING BEGAN.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN 2 PLACES OUT OF THE BLUE. ONE LOCATION IS CONSISTENT WITH MANY I HAVE SEEN SHOWN ON YOUTUBE AND IN A POTENTIAL LAWSUIT ABOUT DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS IN GM TRUCKS.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS, TO THE POINT THAT PIECES ARE GOING TO START FALLING INWARD. THE LARGEST CRACKS ARE AROUND THE DRIVER SIDE HUMP ABOVE THE CLUSTER. THIS CRACK WAS NOT DUE TO ANY NEGLECT OR BANGING. IT JUST APPEARED ONE MORNING. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. THANK YOU *TR

I WAS NOTIFIED BY THE VEHICLE THAT OIL PRESSURE IS LOW, TURN OFF IMMEDIATELY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY ADVISED ME I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. MY VEHICLE HAD 110,000 MILES, IT WAS WELL MAINTAINED, AND WAS DRIVEN CAREFULLY.

I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION BY MAIL THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THAT IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACT PER BY THE DEALER TO SCHEDULE A REPLACEMENT/ REPAIR AS IT SEEMS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS ALMOST 4 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE.

TAKATA RECALL - I CONTACTED LEGACY CHEVROLET WHICH IS MY LOCAL DEALER. SHE SAID ME AND EVERYONE ELSE HAS NOT HAD THEIR AIRBAGS REPLACED BECAUSE THE DEALER HASN'T BEEN SENT ANY PARTS FOR ANYONE. SUGGESTED I CALL GM DIRECTLY MYSELF TO ASK WHY PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

DASH IS CRACKED. AFRAIDBOF SPLINTERING DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

DASH AROUND AIRBAG IS CRACKED ALONG WITH ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. IT APPEARS IT IS IDENTICAL TO ALL OTHER DASH CRACKS IN BOTH LOCATION AND TYPE ON 07-13 TAHOES/SUBURBANS/AVALANCHES. OBLIVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT COUPLED WITH THE TAKATA RECALL COULD CREATE AN EXPLODING DASH WITH EXTRA BRITTLE SHRAPNEL.

I BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY DASH CRACKED AND SPREAD ACROSS THE FRONT

DASH HAS RECENTLY CRACKED AROUND AIR BAG AND ABOVE GAGES. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID TOO BAD. WE CAN REPLACE FOR $2000.00.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000.

MY 2009 SUBURBAN HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASH THAT CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. I ALSO HAVE NEW CRACKS THAT GO FROM THE NATURAL DASH SEAM TO THE AIRBAG COVER/ENCASING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS PRESENTS THE QUESTION: IF THE AIRBAG NEEDS TO DEPLOY, WHAT HAPPENS IF THE BROKEN DASH PUNCTURES IT AND IT DOESN'T PERFORM AT ALL -OR- WHAT IF THE CRACKED DASH BECOMES SHRAPNEL AND HARMS THE PASSENGERS? IT WAS CLEARLY AN UNFINISHED DESIGN SINCE THE UNDERSIDE OF THE DASH IS COMPLETELY HOLLOW, IT FLAPS UP AND DOWN ONCE CRACKED. IT'S NO WONDER THEY HAVE CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS, THEY HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO SUPPORT UNDER THERE. THESE VEHICLES ARE MADE TO TOW, GET THROUGH ALL SORTS OF WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS, AND HAUL A LARGE GROUP. BUT THE DASH CAN'T WITHSTAND IT? PROBLEMATIC.

CRACKING DASHBOARD. 2ND CRACKING DASHBOARD

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND HAS SHARP EDGES ALONG THE CRACKS. I'M AFRAID IN AN IMPACT THOSE SHARP PIECES WILL BE FLYING AT ME AND MY PASSENGERS OR COMPLETELY IMPEDE THE AIRBAGS FROM INFLATING AS THEY SHOULD. IT STARTED WITH ONE CRACK, NOW CRACKED ON SEVERAL PLACES, IT SEEMS THE MORE I DRIVE IT ON CITY ROADS THE WORSE IT GETS. THE DASH MIGHT JUST FALL ONTO MY LAP ONE DAY.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH RIGHT IN THE CORNER OF WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS PIECES OFM THE DASH MAY COME OFF WITH IT. GM DENIES THERES A PROBLEM AND WONT RECALL.

THE DASH IS SEVERELY CRACKED IN 3 PLACES WITH THE LARGEST CRACK ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AREA.

DASH ON SUBURBAN HAS DEVELOPED MULTIPLE CRACKS THAT COULD POSE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT AN AIRBAG MAY FIRE.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY VEHICLE STARTED CRACKING AND JUST GETS WORSE YEAR AFTER YEAR

AS I'M SLOWING DOWN MY CAR SHOOTS OUT ALMOST INTO TRAFFIC. IT WORE DOWN BOTH MY FRONT AND REAR BREAK PADS. ALSO BURNS OIL. I HAVE TO ADD A FULL BOTTLE O OIL EVERY COUPLE O WEEKS. HAS SMOKED FROM EXHAUST REAL BAD ONE TIME BEFORE I KNEW TO ADD OIL. NOW SINCE YESTERDAY JULY 13, 2015 IT SAYS TO SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL IS OFF.

I HAVE NOTICED OVER THE LAST FEW OIL CHANGES AT EVERY 3000 MILES. THERE SEEMS TO BE AN EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL CONSUMPTION WITH THIS MOTOR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT CONSUMES A QUART EVERY 1000 MILES. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKS ON THE MOTOR OR ANY WHERE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. ALSO I HAVE NOTICED THAT AT A COLD START UP THERE IS A "PUFF" OF BLACK SMOKE THAT COMES OUT OF THE TAIL PIPE. THIS ALSO CAN BE CONFIRMED BY LOOKING AT THE TIP OF THE TAIL PIPE AND THE REAR BODY PANEL BEHIND THE TAIL PIPE WERE BLACK SOOT HAS FORMED.

MY 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN BEGAN STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AFTER IT HAD RAINED HEAVILY THE DAY PRIOR. THE SHOP DISCOVERED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS, BUT GM INFORMED ME THAT IT EXCLUDED MY VIN #. THE PROBLEM WITH THE MODULE WAS EXACTLY WHAT IS LISTED IN THE RECALL AND WAS NOT RELATED TO "WEAR AND TEAR" AS SUGGESTED BY RANDY WITH GM (SENIOR ADVISOR), BUT A FAULTY SEAL INTENDED TO PREVENT WATER INFILTRATION. I AM REQUESTING A RECALL THAT INCLUDES MY VIN...I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS CAN HAPPEN ON THE EXACT YEAR AND CAR LISTED IN THE RECALL, YET BE EXCLUDED. I HAVE FOUND ADDITIONAL 2009 CHEVY OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE THROUGH ONLINE BLOGS THAT ALSO WERE DENIED THIS RECALL.

MY CARS ENGINE SUDDENLY LOST POWER WHILE IT WAS ON. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT BOTH CAME ON. I HAD TO PULL OVER. CAR RESET ITSELF AFTER I SHUT IT OFF FOR FEW MINUTES. IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I TOOK IT TO DEALER AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT THEY ARE AWARE THAT IT SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE, THEY SAY ITS NOT A RECALL ISSUE. APPARENTLY AN OIL SENSOR GOES BAD AND DESPITE THE GAUGE SHOWING ITS OK, THE ENGINE IS OPERATING WITH NO OIL. I CHANGE THEN OIL EVERY 3000-3500 MILES SO IT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE. *TR

MY 2009 SUBURBAN HAS A CRACK IN THE DASH RIGHT NEAR THE AIRBAGS. IT IS ABOUT 1 1/2" IN LENGTH. I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL CRACK WORSE AND CAUSE MY AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY WHEN NOT NECESSARY OR FAIL TO DEPLOY WHEN NEEDED. *TR

ACCELERATING IN TRAFFIC ON A THREE LANE ROAD. AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND ACCELERATION LOCKED UP. I COULD BARELY TURN THE WHEEL AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS UNRESPONSIVE. I COULD NOT ACCELERATE AT ALL. I WAS ABLE TO MUSCLE THE CAR INTO A PARKING LOT AND JAM ON THE BREAKS TO COAST TO A STOP. THE POWER WAS STILL ON THE CAR, BUT THE AC WAS NOT BLOWING AS HARD. AFTER A RESTART, IT WORKED NORMALLY. *TR

VEHICLE DRIVER SIDE BACK DOOR WOULD NOT UNLOCK USING REMOTE CONTROL. COST OVER $300.00 TO HAVE CHEVROLET DEALER FIX. NOW IN FEB 2014 WITH 7600 MILES IT STARTED NOT WORKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BACK DOOR STOP WORKING WITH REMOTE CONTROL. ALL OTHER LOCKS WOULD OPEN BUT NOT THE REAR DOOR AT THAT TIME. IT APPEARS THEIR ARE ISSUES WITH THESE DOOR LOCKS. THE DOOR LOCKS WILL ONLY OPEN MANUALLY WHEN THEY FAIL WHICH IS A PAIN DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FAILED TO UNLOCK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE DOOR WOULD ONLY UNLOCK MANUALLY FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 76,000.

NO OIL PRESSURE LIGHT DISPLAY. SHUT OFF ENGINE I HAD TO ADD OIL. I BELIEVE I HAVE THE SAME OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM MANY OTHERS HAVE BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT. I'VE HAD TO ADD OIL TO MY SUBURBAN EVER SINCE I BOUGHT IT IN 2009. I HAVE TO ADD OIL EVERY 1000 MILES. EVEN IF I'VE HAD AN OIL CHANGE. I CARRY EXTRA OIL WITH FOR FEAR OF THE NO OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMING ON. MY MOST CURRENT PROBLEM WAS WITH OIL STILL AT 40%. *TR

OUR ACTUATORS FAILED ON 3 OF MY DOORS OF MY 2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN. IF YOU USE THE REMOTE ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR LOCKS AND/OR UNLOCKS. IF YOU USE THE UNLOCK/LOCK POWER BUTTON ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WORKS. YOU MUST USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR AND YOU MUST EITHER OPEN THE WINDOW TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE OTHER DOORS OR REACH ACROSS THE CAR TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS. WE CONTACTED GM AND THEY SENT US TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS DONE WHICH COST US $99. THEY ESTIMATED THE COST TO BE $900 AND TOLD US WE WERE RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE OUR WARRANTY ENDED AT 36,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IN AN ACCIDENT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET TO ANY PASSENGERS INCLUDING MY CHILDREN NOR COULD EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. I COULD EASILY BE CAR JACKED OR HAVE MY BELONGINGS STOLEN DUE TO THE LOCKS NOT WORKING. IF MY SMALL CHILD CHOKED OR HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY I COULD NOT REACH THEM. I WATCH STORIES EVERY DAY ON THE NEWS OF AWFUL PEOPLE TAKING OR ASSAULTING WOMEN BY BREAKING INTO THEIR CARS AND HIDING IN THE BACK SEATS. THIS CAR COST WELL OVER $50,000 AND THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THERE WILL BE A TRAGEDY IF THIS IS NOT FIXED. *TT

THE DISCOVERY OF THE DEFECT WAS ON SEPTEMBER 2012. THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DASH ABOVE THE VEHICLES INSTRUMENTATION I.E. SPEEDOMETER, OIL PRESSURE, GAS LEVEL, ETC. I REPORTED TO LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP (HENRY BROWN CHEVROLET) ABOUT THE DEFECT AND MY CONCERN FOR SAFETY. THEY SAID THERE IS NO AVAILABLE SAFETY RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THINKING THAT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED CASE I DID NOT PURSUE THE MATTER. THEN RECENTLY WHEN I SURFED THE INTERNET I CAME UPON A GROUP OF GM VEHICLE OWNER WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE AND THE SAME TYPE OF ISSUE. SO I INVESTIGATED FURTHER. GOING TO DIFFERENT WEB BLOGS, I FOUND MORE GM VEHICLE OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. EVERYBODY HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. THEY HAVE CRACKED DASH ON THEIR GM VEHICLES. SOME HAVE THE CRACKS ON BOTH SIDE WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. THE DANGER IS THAT THIS MIGHT PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG AND RENDER IT INEFFECTIVE. THE MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY BECAUSE I DON'T WANT MY VEHICLE TO FAIL ON ME AND MY FAMILY. IF FOR SOME REASON WATER GETS IN THE VEHICLES INSTRUMENTATION AND CAUSES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, ME AND MY FAMILY COULD BE IN DANGER OF A VEHICLE ACCIDENT. I AM TRYING TO BE PROACTIVE AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM RESOLVED RATHER THAN WAIT TO BE A VICTIM OF AN UNSAFE VEHICLE OR CAUSE ANOTHER DRIVER TO BE IN AN AVOIDABLE ACCIDENT. WE NEED THIS VEHICLES RECALLED SO THAT GM CAN TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX AN UNSAFE VEHICLE. *TR

PURCHASED A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN IN 2010, WITH APPROXIMATELY 26,000 MILES. IT CURRENTLY HAS 64,353 MILES AND THE ENGINE IS VIGOROUSLY CONSUMING OIL. ON JULY 10TH, 2013 I WAS ON THE PARKWAY WHEN I BEGAN TO HEAR A TICKING NOSE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, THE WARNING INDICATOR INSIDE THE CAR WENT OFF AND THE DISPLAY READ "OIL PRESSURE LOW", THE ACTUAL READER GAGE WAS MARKING NEARLY AT 0. I EXITED AT THE NEAREST EXIT, AND HAD TO REFILL THE MOTOR OIL WITH NEARLY 6 QTS. THE NEXT OIL CHANGE IS NOT DUE TIL ABOUT A MONTH FROM NOW OR ANOTHER 600 MILES. THERE AREN'T ANY VISIBLE LEAKS, THE TRUCK JUST SEEMS TO BE BURNING OIL FASTER THAN I CAN RUN IT THROUGH TO THE NEXT SCHEDULED OIL CHANGE OR THE 3,000 MILES USUALLY ALLOWED BY MOST OILS. I HAVE DONE SOME RESEARCH AND IT APPEARS THAT A GOOD AMOUNT OF THIS PARTICULAR MODEL HAVE THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW IT FALLS ON THE CONSUMER TO MAKE SUCH REPAIRS WHEN IT IS CLEARLY A MATTER THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED BY CHEVROLET. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT IT IS CERTAINLY A MATTER THAT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AS RUNNING A VEHICLE WITHOUT MOTOR OIL COULD POTENTIALLY KILL THE ENGINE, AND PERMANENTLY DISABLE A VEHICLE, OR EVEN WORSE BRING UP A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST THE MANUFACTURES. I'VE BEEN A FAITHFUL CUSTOMER OF CHEVROLET BUT THIS COULD PERHAPS BE A DEAL BREAKER FOR ME, AS IT HAS BEEN FOR MANY INDIVIDUALS WHOM HAVE TRADED OFF THEIR VEHICLES FOR SOMETHING A BIT MORE RELIABLE. *TR

THE DOOR LOCKS INTERMITTENTLY WORK. SEEMS TO HAPPEN TO A LOT OF PEOPLE. SAFETY ISSUE. CAN'T GET IN OR OUT OF VEHICLE. WE HAD ONE FIXED AND NOW ALL OF THE DOORS ARE DOING IT. SOMETIMES THE CAR LOCKS ITSELF. *TR

THE LOCK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR STOPPED WORKING BY THE UNLOCK BUTTON OR THE AUTOMATIC ENTRY BUTTON. HAD IT REPAIRED TO THE TUNE OF $500. NOW BOTH BACK DOOR LOCKS NEED REPLACING. DANGEROUS IF KIDS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. *TR

ABOUT A YEAR AGO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WOULDN'T WORK, NOW ALL DOOR LOCKS WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK WITH REMOTE OR SWITCH. ALSO WILL NOT LOCK/UNLOCK WHEN PUT INTO GEAR OR BACK INTO PART. LOCKS MOVE SLIGHTLY WHEN YOU PUSH THE BUTTON BUT WILL NOT FULLY ENGAGE OR DISENGAGE WHEN MANUALLY PUSHED. NO RECALL DATA AVAILABLE BUT I SEE MANY COMPLAINTS. *TR

PURCHASED CAR JULY 09 BEGIN HAVING PROBLEMS IMMED WITH SEATBELT REPLACED 9/17/09, 11/ 25/09, RADIO LOCK, SOLENOID VALVE REPLACED 1/21/10, AUG OF 2010 STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH 4 WHEEL DR. CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED AT LEAST 12 TIMES SINCE THEN FOR 4 WHEEL DRIVE ISSUES. I GOT STUCK IN SNOW DEC. 2012 WITH NO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. THE TRANSFER CASE HAS BEEN REPLACED 6 TIMES SINCE START OFD PROB. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT WITH INTENTION OF NEEDING 4 WHEEL DRIVE. *TR

DOOR LOCKS NO LONGER WORKING ON DRIVER DOOR, FRONT PASSENGER, AND NOW REAR PASSENGER. DEALERSHIP SAYS ALL THREE NEED REPLACED. DRIVER DOOR WENT FIRST, THEN FRONT PASSENGER, AND THEN REAR PASSENGER. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL POSTINGS RELATED TO MULTIPLE DOOR LOCK FAILURES - NOT JUST SINGLE LOCKS, BUT MANY CASES OF 2-4 LOCKS FAILING ON A SINGLE VEHICLE. LOCKS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE (ESPECIALLY IN QUANTITIES OF 3 OR 4) AND REPRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE IF THE DOORS CANNOT BE SECURED. *TR

SUDDEN ATTENDED ACCELERATION ACCELERATED FROM 2 MPH TO 60 MPH. *TR

DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER SIDED CRACKED INTO 2 PIECES. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUES. I FOUND QUITE NUMBERS OF OWNER HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS NOT THE QUALITY YOU EXPECT FROM $50K VEHICLE, I BELIEVE IT IS DUE TO "POORLY" FINISHED JOB. GM SIMPLY REFUSES TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY AND FORCES ME TO PAY SO CALLED, "DEDUCTIBLE". I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE TAKING 4 CHILDREN TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING, THE DASH TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING AND THE ENGINE DIED. POWER STEERING AND BREAKS WERE GONE AND I WAS LEFT STRANDED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. AFTER SEVERAL FRANTIC MINUTES, I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE A DRIVE HOME. *TT
