2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD EXHIBITED CRACKS THAT ORIGINATED ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

THE REAR LIFT GATE ON MY 2011 SUBURBAN HAS BEGUN TO SPONTANEOUSLY CLOSE ON ITS OWN. IT KNOCKED MY HUSBAND DOWN OVER THE WEEKEND AND CONKED ME ON THE HEAD YESTERDAY WHILE I WAS PARKED AND LOADING GROCERIES- GLAD I DIDN'T NEED STITCHES! THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I HOPE CHEVROLET WILL WORK TO RECTIFY IT. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH WILL TELL YOU THAT MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH SUBURBANS AND OTHER CHEVY MODELS.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED OVER THE STEERING WHEEL BUT MOST PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING OF THE DASH BEING CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG. GM REFUSES TO REPAIR.

THE DASH IS CRACKING BY THE AIRBAG. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED WITH MY 2006 TAHOE. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH OVER 3000 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE - IN ADDITION TO A NEWS SEGMENT THAT WAS RECENTLY COVERED. IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THE FACEBOOK PAGE IS "07-13 GM CRACKED DASH SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL TRUCKS"

DASHBOARD CRACKED WHILE PARKED AND THESE CRACKS HAVE SPREAD TO BECOME VERY LARGE OVER SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. LARGE CRACK IS ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ANOTHER IS NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE DASHBOARD IS UNSTABLE BETWEEN THESE TWO POINTS AND THIS COULD BE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AS DASH COULD CRACK OR SPLINTER IF AIRBAG DEPLOYED CAUSING INJURY TO THE PASSENGERS. DASHBOARD HAS BEEN PROTECTED IN GARAGE OR WITH SUN DEFLECTOR DURING OWNERSHIP SO DASHBOARD CRACKS WOULD BE DEFECT VS. ELEMENT RELATED.

CRACKED DASHBOARD OVER PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT AIRBAG. CRACKED DASHBOARD OVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

DASHBOARD CRACKING POTENTIALLY AFFECTING THE USE OF THE AIRBAG AND THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVERS SIDE.
