2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD PREMATURELY CRACKED IN THE SAME AREA TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DASHBOARD, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND INDICATED THAT A CLIP FRACTURED AND THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 86000 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 89000 MILES THE DASH BEGAN CRACKING. IT HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK EVER SINCE. THE FIRST ONE WAS ON THE LEFT FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. SINCE THEN I HAVE NUMEROUS CRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED AND THE DASH BREAKS FURTHER AND SENDS PROJECTILES OF THE DASH MATERIAL AIRBORNE IN A CRASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THESE MODEL VEHICLES FROM 2007 TO 2011. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND PAID FOR BY GM. SOME OF THESE CRACKS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE MOVING AND ONE EVEN HAPPENED FROM THE INTERIOR GETTING COLD INSIDE.

THE ODOMETER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WENT OUT ON MY 2007 SUBURBAN AND THE RADIO IS CHANGING STATIONS ON ITS OWN. ALSO THE METAL TRIM ON MY DOOR HANDLES AND HEATING/AC CONTROLS IS PEELING APART AND CUTTING MY HANDS. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE BURNS OIL AND I HAVE CHECKED IT OUT BY THREE DIFFERENT DEALERS/MECHANICS AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY LEAKS. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND I BELIEVE CHEVY SHOULD REPAIR THESE ITEMS AT NO COST TO OWNERS.

THE CHROME ON THE DOOR HANDLES, ALL 4 OF THEM, ARE PEELING, WHERE THE CHROME WILL ACTUALLY SLICE YOUR SKIN ON YOUR FINGERS AND MAKE YOU BLEED.

STEPPED ONTO THE RUNNING BOARD TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AND UPON DOING SO THE DASH CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THIS I NOTICED THAT THE DASH HAD CRACKED AT AN UNKNOWN TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE AIRBAG SECTION OF THE DASH. HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CANNOT GET A RESPONSE.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN BRAND NEW IN 2007. I THINK THE MILEAGE IS SOMEWHERE AROUND 150,000 BUT NOT SURE BECAUSE THE ODOMETER CLUSTER WENT OUT ON THE VEHICLE SEVERAL YEARS AGO. ALSO, MY DOOR HANDLES ARE STARTING TO PEEL APART WHICH ARE CUTTING MY HANDS AND MY CHILDREN'S HANDS. ONE INCIDENT IT SLICED MY HAND OPEN VERY SIMILAR SEVER PAPER CUT BUT WORSE. THE HANDLES WERE ALREADY REPLACED ONCE ON MY SUBURBAN BACK IN 2009 BY GM AND AT GM'S COST. THE MAIN ISSUE ABOUT THIS EMAIL IS THE SEATBELTS AND THE DASHBOARD. THERE ARE FOUR PASSENGER SEATBELTS THAT DO NOT WORK HARDLY AT ALL. SOMETIMES THEY WILL SNAP IN/BUCKLE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF TIMES THAT THEY DO NOT. THE CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRBAG. IT REALLY CONCERNS ME AS FAR AS BEING A SAFETY ISSUE. I DO HAVE FIVE SMALL CHILDREN THAT ARE CONSTANTLY WITH ME IN MY CAR. I JUST WANT THIS DASHED FIXED AT NO CHARGE BEING THAT IT IS A DEFECT. I HAVE SIGNED A PETITION WITH THOUSANDS OF OTHER GM OWNERS WITH THE SAME EXACT ISSUE....CRACKED DASHBOARD AND MOST OF THEM IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE. . I'M JUST ASKING FOR THIS TO BE REPLACED AND CORRECTED.

THE TRUCK USES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000-1500 MILES. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIORNMENT OR MY WALLET.

CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAVE A PROBLEM WITH EXCESSIVE OIL BURNING. AND NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE REAR WINDSHIELD WIPER ACTIVATED INDEPENDENTLY AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THERE WAS A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THE FRONT AND REAR AREA OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE WIRING INTO THE FUSE BOX WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM HAD CORROSION ON THE METAL FUEL LINES, TO THE POINT THAT THEY WERE ABOUT TO FAIL, DEALER REPLACED THEM.
