2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

I HAVE 2012 CHEVY SUBURBAN 1500 LT. THE REAR TAILGATE UNLOCK AND LOCK INTERMITTENTLY CAUSING THE MANUAL LIFTGATE TO STAY AJAR OR STAY LOCK. THERE IS NO MANUAL RELEASE OR KEY ACCESS. IT ONLY UNLOCKS AND LOCK BY KEYFOB. ON ONE OCCASION, THE LIFTGATE OPENED WITHOUT NOTICED WHILE DRIVING PROMPTING THE CAR ALERT. IT WAS THEN CLOSED AND THE LIFTGATE STAYED IN THE LOCK POSITION (UNABLE TO UNLOCK WITH KEYFOB) AFTER DIAGNOSIS AT A LOCAL GMC DEALER, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE REAR LIFTGATE LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED. THE REPAIR WAS IN EXCESS OF $400.00

CRACKEDDASH CAR IS PARKED WITH SUNSHADE; FIRST CRACK AT AIR BAG APPEARED WITHIN A YEAR OF PURCHASE (WAS ON DEALER LOT WITH NO SUNSHADE FOR A YEAR - PURCHASED MARCH 2013) HOUSED IN GARAGE; SECOND CRACK AT AIR BAG APPEARED SHORTLY AFTER THAT. IT WAS JUST NOTICED (NOT SURE HOW LONG IT HAD BEEN THERE) THE LARGE CRACK AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HUMP ON DASH BOARD. MY DASH HAS SEPARATED IN THE MIDDLE FROM THE FRONT PANEL ALONG THE GLASS. IT NOW VIBRATES AND IS LOOSE. I FEAR IF I AM IN A WREAK AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS SHARDS OF DASH WILL BE THROWN INTO THE AIR AT A FORCE TO CAUSE DAMAGE NOT ONLY TO FRONT PASSENGER & DRIVER BUT TO THE SECOND AND THIRD ROW PASSENGERS. I HAVE HAD 2 PREVIOUS GM VEHICLES (TAHOE & SUBURBAN) AND NEVER HAD THE BAD QUALITY THIS 2012 HAS HAD. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE BOTH FRONT DOOR EXTERIOR HANDLES AND THE INTERIOR ONES ARE BROKEN AND NEED TO BE REPLACED.

MY 2012 SUBURBAN WHICH I BOUGHT NEW IN 2013 WITH 100 MILES, AFTER 3 YEARS STARTING GETTING CRACKS IN THE DASH. A MONTH AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY EXPIRED. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACK RUNS FROM THE AIR VENT TO THE AIRBAG DOOR AND NOW MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. A LARGER CRACK (6+INCHES) HAS APPEARED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE RUNNING FROM THE VENT TO THE TOP OF THE STEERING COLUMN, IF I CONTINUES THE DASH WILL COMPLETELY SEPARATE IN HALF EXPOSING ELECTRONICS, ETC.

TWO CRACKS DEVELOPED, ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER IS IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CRACKS ARE CONTINUING TO EXPAND.

THE ENGINE IS BURNING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. NO LEAKS VISIBLE, IN OR UNDER THE ENGINE. ON SATURDAY , I JUST ADDED 3.5 QUARTS OF OIL WITH 700 MILES LEFT BEFORE THE NEXT OIL CHANGE.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.
