2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

PLASTIC DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS FROM FRONT TO BACK. ONE NEAR PASSENGER AIR BAG. IF THIS WERE TO DEPLOY IT COULD ADD ADDITIONAL DAMAGING DEBRIS. ALSO APPEARANCE IS BAD AND DEVALUES VEHICLE. HAPPENED WITHIN THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF OWNERSHIP AND CONTINUED USE OF STATIONARY, IN MOTION ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAY DRIVING.

THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS THAT COULD IMPACT THE PROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

TOOK A LEFT TURN WHILE DRIVING, HEARD A SMALL NOISE AND WITH IN ONE MINUTE OF GOING DOWN THE ROAD AFTER MY TURN, MY ENGINE WAS A ROUGH IDLE, ENGINE LIGHT BLINKING AND TRACTION CONTROL WAS BLINKING. HAD IT TOWED TO THE CLOSEST CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO FIND OUT THAT THE LIFTERS WERE BAD AND CAUSING MISFIRE. THAT'S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS ENGINE AND THE REPLACEMENT COST SHOULD NOT BE ON THE CONSUMER, THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS COSTLY REPAIR!

2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. CONSUMER WRITES REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. *LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED WITH A NEW VEHICLE DUE TO THE AIRBAG FAILURE RECALL.*JS

I CALLED MY LOCAL GLEN SMITH CHEVY DEALER TO GET MY AIR BAG REPAIRED AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THEY HAD THEM. THEY TOLD ME THEY DIDN'T HAVE THEM AND DIDN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I CALLED THE CHEVY CONSUMER NUMBER AND GOT THE SAME ANSWER. THIS IS THE SAME RUN AROUND IVE BEEN GETTING FOR SEVERAL YEARS WHILE I'M DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HURT OR KILL THE PASSENGER IN THE CAR.... WHY DID THIS GET SENT OUT IF THISDEALERS WONT REPAIR THEM?

THE DASHBOARD IS BADLY CRACKED. IT WILL COST ABOUT $1,000 TO REPAIR WHICH REDUCES THE NET PROCEEDS IF WE SELL IT. WE DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING IT WITHOUT THE REPAIR AND DOUBT ANYONE WOULD WANT TO BUY IT IN THIS CONDITION. I ALSO FEEL SOMEWHAT UNSAFE DRIVING IT CONSIDERING THE AIRBAG ISSUES. IT'S GRADUALLY GOTTEN WORSE, SO NO SPECIFIC DATE THAT I CAN RECALL.

TL* TAKATA RECALL THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 21V050000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

DASH PANEL CRACKED OVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG OPENING.

MY VEHICLE HAS NOT HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED AND I WANT TO KNOW WHEN THAT CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED NOW THAT GM HAS AGREED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE IN MOTION WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A LOUD THUMPING CRACKLING SOUND
