2013 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

HAVE REPLACED CALIPERS 3 TIMES SINCE AUGUST 2018. STARTED WITH SQUEALING OF BRAKES AND THEN TAKING TO MECHANIC TO FIND THAT CALIPER WAS "FROZEN" AND EATING UP THE BRAKE PADS. THE ABS PUMP IS NOT RELEASING APPROPRIATELY AND CAUSING THE BRAKES TO REMAIN IN A BRAKING MODE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS NOT BOTH SIDES AT THE SAME TIME. IT HAS ALTERNATED SIDES SO THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS RULED OUT AS AN ISSUE. INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS ENDS WERE REPLACED FIRST, AND THEN THE FIRST SET OF CALIPERS. THEN BRAKE HOSES, PADS AND ROTORS WERE ALSO REPLACED. AT THAT POINT, THE SQUEALING HAPPENED AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS OF DRIVING AND WE FOUND IT WAS A CALIPER STICKING. THINKING THAT IT WAS A FAULTY REPLACEMENT, IT WAS REPLACED AND DID FINE. TWO WEEKS LATER THE SAME HAPPENED WITH THE OTHER SIDE. THIS HAS HAPPENED ANOTHER TIME SINCE THE FIRST SET WAS REPLACED. AT THIS POINT MY MECHANIC HAD FIGURED OUT THAT THE ABS PUMP WAS WHAT WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND BECAUSE IT WAS SOMEWHAT INTERMITTENT, IT DIDN'T TRIGGER A CODE IN THE VEHICLE. HE WAS ABLE TO DO TESTING THAT SHOWED FAILURE ON THE SIDE THE CALIPER WAS NOT RELEASING ON AND THEN AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, IT RELEASED, HE RETESTED AND IT PASSED. HE CALLED HIS OEM SUPPLIER WHO THEN TOLD HIM THIS WAS A "KNOWN ISSUE" AND THAT THERE WERE ONLY 5 OF THE PUMPS AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE AND ALL WERE SPOKEN FOR. ABOUT A WEEK LATER, THE REP LET HIM KNOW THAT THE PART WAS IN PRODUCTION WITH A SHIP DATE OF DEC. 3RD 2018.

THERE IS A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON MY 2013 SUBURBAN LTZ. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIRBAD WAS TO DEPLOY, PIECES OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES. THE DASH MAKES AN AWFUL RATTLE AND IS DISTRACTING TO DRIVER SAFETY. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED FOR REPAIR BY CHEVROLET.

DASHBOARD HAS A HUGE CRACK IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SEAT AREA. CAR WAS STATIONERY WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK APPROXIMATELY 2-3 INCHES IN LENGTH. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT OR COLLISION. THE CRACK STARTED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO AND HAS SLOWLY INCREASED IN LENGTH. MY CONCERN IS IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THIS AREA MIGHT SPLINTER AND CAUSE INJURIES.

PAINT FLAKES LEAVING VEHICLE LOOKING CHEAP TRANSMISSION BURNT IN 5 YRS EVEN THOUGH PROPER PRECAUTIONS WAS TAKEN TO ENSURE NO FAILURE DOOR TRIMMING MADE OUT OF PLASTIC HANDLE FOR USING FOR IN AND OUT UNMOVEABLE UNTIL REPAIRS TO TRANSMISSION IS DONE

DASHBOARD ADJACENT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG CRACKED SPONTANEOUSLY WHILE PARKED AT MY HOUSE. INTEGRITY OF DASHBOARD, WERE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY, IS NOW QUESTIONABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, REAR ACCESS HATCH KEEPS OPENING BY ITSELF. RELEASES WHEN PARKED OR ON START UP OF VEHICLE. AFTER CLOSING MANUALLY IT OPENS ON ITS OWN REPEATEDLY. KEY DOESNT HAVE TO BE IN IGNITION FOR THE HATCH TO OPEN ON ITS OWN

LARGE CRACKS IN DASH PANEL IN FRONT OF STEERING COLUMN AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS DEVELOPED OVER NIGHT. SEPARATED SECTION APPEARS TO VIBRATE WITHOUT SUPPORT OF UNDERLYING BRACKET.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED RIGHT NEXT TO AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. UNKNOWN WHEN IT OCCURRED (AKA WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY). IT OCCURRED IN THE LAST WEEK. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS SHARDS OF PLASTIC MAY BECOME SHRAPNEL. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 39K MILES ON IT

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE 200 MILES FROM HOME, THE TRANSMISSION CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. WITHIN 25 MILES OF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE. TOTALLY STRANDED IN PLACE IN MIDDLE OF HIGHWAY. NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAILURE OF CLUTCH PLATES IN THE TRANSMISSION. THIS 2013 SUBURBAN ONLY HAD 90,456 MILES ON IT. DEALER CHARGED $4,260 TO REPAIR TRANSMISSION. GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE WOULD PROVIDE NO COST SHARE.
