2013 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE IDLING ON THE HIGHWAY, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE NECK, BACK, HEAD, AND MOUTH THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO TRAPP CADILLAC CHEVROLET (200 S HOLLYWOOD RD, HOUMA, LA 70360 (985) 200-3937), BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

THE CHEAP, WEAK, PLASTIC PARTS INSIDE OF THE HANDLES IN THE DRIVER SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE ARMRESTS HAVE BROKEN AND ONLY THE FLIMSY RUBBERY HANDLE REMAINS BUT THE INSIDE STRUCTURES HAVE BROKEN TO BITS AND FALLEN OUT.

WITHOUT ANY IMPACT OR ANY OTHER STRESS WHATSOEVER, A CRACK HAS APPEARED AT THE FRONT LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND EXTENDS DIAGONALLY TOWARD THE WINDSHIELD FOR SEVERAL INCHES.

DASH CRACK IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, COULD CAUSE PLASTIC PROJECTILES DURING AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT.

ENGINE DIED ON HIGHWAY LOST ALL POWER AND NO STEERING. WAS TOLD BY DEALER IT WAS A BAD NEG BATTERY CABLE. IT IS SHOCKING THAT A BAD BATTERY CABLE CAN CAUSE A DEADLY SITUATION. CERTAINLY SOMEONE WILL DIE FROM THIS DEFECT IF THEY HAVENT ALREADY. DEALER CLAIMED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND IT HAPPENED ONLY A FEW MILES AFTER I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. ERROR CODE WAS P0601. THEY HAVE THE CAR FOR REPAIR AGAIN, BUT I REFUSE TO EVERY DRIVE THE DEATH TRAP. I HAVE HAD 20 SUBURBANS AND I HOPE THIS IS AN ISOLATED DEFECT NOT ONE THAT AFFECTS ALL SUBURBANS. THIS DEFECT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. SOMEONE WILL CERTAINLY DIE FROM THIS DEFECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS RANDOMLY FLASH OFF AND ON AND THE TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LIGHTS WOULD NOT OPERATE. AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HAMPTON CHEVROLET LOCATED IN HAMPTON VIRGINIA WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

IN LESS THAN A MONTH MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. I AM CONCERNED WHAT IMPACT THESE CRACKS WOULD HAVE WITH THE PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF MY VEHICLE AIRBAGS.

2013 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAVE AN ELECTRICAL AND TRANSMISSION CLUNKING PROBLEM FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, AND GMC DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. KRYSTAL DEALERSHIP IN BROOKLYN, NY AND MANFREDI DEALERSHIP IN STATEN ISLAND, NY, HAVE NO CUSTOMER SERVICE WHAT'S SO EVER

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND BY THE AIRBAG. UPON GOING ON THE INTERNET, I HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CRACKS I HAVE IN THE SAME PLACES.

MY VEHICLE'S DASH HAS DEVELOPED TWO CRACKS ON TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE DRIVER'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CONSISTENT WITH THE MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS. LEADS TO THE FAILURE OF THE DASH COMPROMISING THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS SHOULD AIRBAGS DEPLOY. IN AN ACCIDENT, PLASTIC SHARDS ARE MORE LIKELY TO INJURE PASSENGERS. IN NO WAY CAN THIS BE EXPECTED TO BE NORMAL AND IT CONCERNS ME THAT OUR SAFETY COULD BE COMPROMISED. THIS SAME ISSUE HAS HAPPENED ON MY 2010 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN TOO.
