2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

2 NOTICEABLE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD, ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG AND THE OTHER IN THE DRIVER SIDE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL

THE DASH IS CRACKED , IT IS CRACKED BY THE AIR BAG AND IF IN A ACCIDENT CAN CAUSE SRAPNAL TO FLY ALL OVER

THE DARK IN CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES INCLUDING AROUND THE AIR BAG. THE DANGER IS THE DASH ITSELF COULD BECOME PIECES OF SHRAPNEL IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS DUE TO THE TIGHT FIT OF THE DASH IN THE SPACE ALLOWED. THIS IS OUR SECOND DASH AS THE FIRST CRACKED DASH WAS ALREADY REPLACED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SLOW DOWN AND THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST T-BONED BY A TRACTOR TRAILER. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE MANEUVERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED SUCCESSFULLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY AND THE BRAKE SWITCH WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WIRING TO THE ECM CONNECTOR 2 AND WIRING HARNESS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIR FROM THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,200.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH AND APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, ANOTHER VEHICLE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS CRASHED INTO THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY WITH THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT. THE DRIVER STRUCK HER HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD AND SUSTAINED A BRUISE TO THE HEAD AND NECK PAIN. THE REAR DRIVER SEAT OCCUPANT SUFFERED FROM A HEAD CONCUSSION. ADDITIONAL MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN VARIOUS AREAS. SPECIFIC AREA IS THE CRACKING NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. I AM SERIOUSLY WORRIED IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN AND THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC COULD BE SENT FLYING THRU THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE

DASH CRACKED ON RIGHT SIDE AT AIR BAG AND ON LEFT SIDE BEHIND STEERING WHEEL. RETAINING CLIPS THAT HOLD DASH TOGETHER ARE ALSO BROKEN AND CAUSING THE DASH TO BE LOOSE AROUND AIR BAG AREA. SAME ONGOING ISSUE AS REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER OWNERS.

3 DOOR LATCHES HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO STAY SHUT. THIS CAN OBVIOUSLY BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THEY WERE TO GIVE OUT WHEN DRIVING AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD.

ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS SEVERE CRACKING AND LOOSE PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD DUE TO CRACKING. THIS SITUATION CREATES AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHICH COULD CAUSE BODILY HARM IN THE CASE OF AN ACCIDENT SPECIFICALLY IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG. THE SMALL CRACKED PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD ARE SMALL ENOUGH FOR A CHILD TO SWALLOW CREATING A CHOKING HAZARD.

I HAVE A 2007 SUBURBAN THAT HAS A CRACKED DASH ALONG THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND OVER BY THE AIR BAG... CHEVORLET WILL NOT FIX IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL AND VECHILE IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND SAYS I WILL HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED. I THINK IS A DEFECT IN YOUR DASHES AS I USE A SUN SHIELD AND IT STILL CRACKED AND I DONT HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING I FEEL IS A DEFECT IN THE WAY YOU MAKE YOU DASHES. I AM SCARED THAT IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT SOMEONE MAY GET HURT BECAUSE OF THE WAY IT IS CRACKED. I WOULD TO HAVE THIS RESOLVED AND NOT HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET AND TAKE AWAY FROM MY 5 CHILDREN TO HAVE THIS ISSUE FIXED WHEN I FEEL IT'S A DEFECT ON YA'LLS PART.
