2010 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

ALL OF A SUDDEN, WHILE DRIVING DOWN A SMOOTH ROAD, HEARD A LARGE POP SOUND FROM DASHBOARD. PLASTIC DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CRACK IS NOW GROWING LARGER.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN SEVERAL AREAS NEAR CORNERS AND RADIUS. CONCERNED IF AIR BAGS DEPLOY, SHARP EDGES WILL SEVERELY CUT PASSENGERS. THIS HAPPENED JUST 2 YEARS AFTER NEW PURCHASE. MAKES CAR LOOK VERY CHEAP.

DASHBOARD CRACKED. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYED THE SHRAPNEL FROM DASHBOARD WOULD INJURE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. NOTICED IT WHEN IT RATTLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THERE WAS A LARGE "POP" SOUND FROM THE DASH AND I NOTICED THAT THE DASH CRACKED AND HAS JAGGED SHARP PLASTIC EDGES.

MY SUBURBAN HAS HAD A CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT HAS GROWN INTO MANY CEASE CRACKS. I AM AFRAID THE AIRBAG WILL NOT D PLOY CORRECTLY IN A COLLISION. PLEASE HELP!

DASH IS CRACKED ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND IS SPREADING WITH SHARP EDGES THAT CAN SHATTER AND CAUSE HARM DURING A CRASH. DASH CRACKED RANDOMLY WHEN PARKED.

HEARD THE DASH START TO MAKE A NOISE, LOOKED AT IT AND THERE WAS A SMALL HAIRLINE CRACK. CAME BACK TO THE CAR ABOUT 4 HOURS LATER AND THERE WERE TWO CRACKS ABOUT THE ODOMETER. THIS CAR IS GARAGED EVERY EVENING AND IS WELL KEPT ON THE INSIDE. I HAVE BEEN A LOYAL CUSTOMER TO GM BUT AFTER THIS I DOUBT I WILL EVER BUY GM AGAIN.

SEVERAL CRACKS HAVE APPEARED IN THE DASH OF MY 2010 SUBURBAN. ONE IS ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THE OTHER IS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. AFTER THE CRACK OCCURRED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, THE SENSORS BEGAN TO MALFUNCTION. THE CRACKS APPEARED OVER TIME. WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2012 AND THERE WERE NO DEFECTS IN THE DASH. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS NOR HAS HER BEEN ANY FORCE APPLIED TO THE DASH THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE CRACKS. WE DISCOVERED THE CRACKS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH GM TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AS IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS OCCURRING IN THOUSANDS OF OTHER GM VEHICLES FROM 2007-2013. WE ARE MEMBERS OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WITH ALMOST 4000 MEMBERS ALL SHARING THE SAME PHOTOS, STORIES AND ISSUES WITH THEIR GM VEHICLES. THIS COMPLAINT IS FILED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE CRACKS ARE GETTING WORSE AND MY FEAR IS THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COULD BE DANGEROUS IF DEPLOYED. NOT TO MENTION THE MALFUNCTIONING SENSORS UNDER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WHERE THE OTHER CRACK IS LOCATED.

THE VEHICLE IS CONSUMING EXCESSIVE AMOUNTS OF ENGINE OIL AND FOULING SPARK PLUGS.

TWO YEARS AGO MY STABILITRAK FAILURE WARNING CAME UP. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T GO OVER 20 MPH. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE CORRECTED. THIS WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING, THE STABILITRAK WARNING CAME UP AND CAR POWER/ ACCELERATION WENT DOWN TO ALMOST NOTHING. CHEVY IS SAYING THEY *THINK* MY CAM SHAFT LIFTER FAILED AND IT'S ALMOST $7,000 TO FIX. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM IN THE CHEVY/GMC CARA OF THIS MANUFACTURING TIME. IT'S DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE WILL GET KILLED.
