2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING SINCE 8/19/2016. NO ACCIDENT OR ROUGH DRIVING. ASHPALT AND CONCRETE DRIVING ONLY

ALTHOUGH GM SAYS THAT THE TRUCK IS SAFE, I FEEL THAT DRIVING A POTENTIALLY LETHAL TRUCK WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS, WHOSE CONDITION IS MADE MUCH WORSE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY OF SW FLORIDA, I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE AT ALL.

DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK BY AIRBAG AND ANOTHER IS STARTING ON TOP OF STEERING WHEEL AND IS SPREADING. NEVER USED ANY PRODUCTS ON DASH JUST DAMP CLOTH TO DUST. WORRIED IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS SHARP OBJECTS FROM DASH WILL CAUSE INJURY.

DRIVING WITH A TRAVEL TRAILER IN TOW IN I-81 IN NY ON 6/15/16 WE SUDDENLY HAD EXTREME SWAY. MY CAR/TRAILER HAD VERY GOOD HITCH/ANTI-SWAY DEVICES. WITHOUT MUCH NOTICE, I LOST CONTROL. I BELIEVE THE FRAME SUPPORTING THE HITCH RECEIVER FAILED CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF OUR TOW VEHICLE AND OUR AIRSTREAM 25 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER WITH THIS COMBINATION OF TOW VEHICLE, TRAVEL TRAILER, AND HITCH CONFIGURATION. THE ONSET AND MAGNITUDE OF THE SWAY (VIOLENT) CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL AS WE WERE GOING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TOWED THIS SAME CONFIGURATION FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES WITH NO INSTANCES OF PROBLEMS. SOMETHING DRASTIC HAPPENED! I WAS PASSING A SLOW MOVING CAR , SO WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE HEADING SOUTH WHEN I STARTED TO SWAY. I REACHED FOR THE BRAKE CONTROLLER IN AN ATTEMPT TO APPLY THE TRAILER BRAKES. THE SWAY DRASTICALLY ACCELERATED TO THE EXTENT I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE CONTROLLER DUE TO THE VIOLENT MOTION. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, MY VEHICLE CAME TO REST AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY (HEADING NORTH) WITH THE TRAILER JACKNIFED/PERPENDICULAR TO THE GUARDRAIL SUCH THAT I WAS BLOCKING BOTH LANES OF THE HIGHWAY. I EXAMINED THE HITCH AND TRAILER COUPLING AND ALL SEEMED NORMAL EXCEPT FOR DAMAGE FROM THE CRASH. THE HITCH FRAME OF THE SUBURBAN WAS TORN AND TOTALLY RIPPED FROM THE VEHICLE ON ONE SIDE.

THE DASH IS CRACKED AROUND THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE CRACKED DASH COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE AND CAUSE HARM TO OCCUPANTS.

65,000 MILES ON 2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AND THE DASH HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS. CONCERNED THAT ONE OF THE CRACKS IS NEXT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG. WORRIED ABOUT SHRAPNEL IN A COLLISION.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING, CAUSE IS UNKNOWN, THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS

MY 2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WITH ABOUT 85,000 MILES ON IT HAS RECENTLY DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE AT THE REAR LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG SECTION, AND ANOTHER BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CAR IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION OTHER THAN THE DASH. ITS AN EYE-SORE TO SEE THESE CRACKS EVERY DAY. HAD THESE CRACKS BEEN THERE A YEAR AGO WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR, WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT. ITS SAD TO SEE THAT THIS IS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM ON ALL VEHICLES OF THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR RANGE.

THE DASH IN OUR 2011 CHEVY SUBUBAN LTZ IS CRACKED AT THE AIRBAG. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A GM DEFECT THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT COULD BE DANGEROUS AND PROJECT PIECES OF THE DASH. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER.

WITHIN LESS THAT TWO YEARS THE DASH STARTED CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES. IT HAS CONTINUED UNTIL THE CRACKS HAVE SPANNED THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE DASH IN IN MULTIPLE PLACES RUNNING FROM FRONT TO REAR. WHILE DRIVING THE PIECES OF THE DASH CONTINUALLY VIBRATE AND FLEX. THE DEALER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR PROVIDE WARRANTY COVERAGE.
