2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Complaints

THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEXT TO THE AIRBAG HAS CRACKED AND APPEARS TO BE SEPARATING. THIS DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD IS DIRECTLY IN CONTACT WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT LOCATION FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER.

MY 2012 SUBURBAN HAS 90,000 MILES. I HAD THE LIFTERS AND OIL PUMP GO BAD IN OCTOBER. TWO WEEKS LATER I AM BACK IN THE SHOP BECAUSE THE WHEEL BEARING HAS GONE BAD. THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO MY DASH IS CRACKING. I HAD A 1999 SUBURBAN AND NEVER HAD THESE PROBLEMS.

MY DASH ON MY 2012 SUBURBAN STARTED CRACKING OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO. WITHIN THE PAST MONTH I HAVE NOTICED 2 MORE CRACKS IN MY DASH, ONE BEHIND MY STEERING WHEEL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH AND THE OTHER IS TO THE RIGHT OF THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE DASH. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND QUESTIONED IF A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS DEFECT SINCE THERE ARE HUNDREDS TO THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I DON'T FEEL THAT WE SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING THE DASH BOARD COVER AND SHELLING OUT OVER $900. ESPECIALLY WHEN CHEVROLET IS AWARE THAT MULTIPLE MODELS ARE HAVING THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. IT'S CLEARLY A DEFECT..

DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES: ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND SECOND ON THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. THE DASH HAS NEVER BEEN CLEANED WITH CHEMICALS NOR HAS IT BEEN STRUCK WITH ANY OBJECT.

I GOT IN MY CAR SATURDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 1 AND NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY DASH BOARD. UPON RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF HAVING THIS GET LARGER AND EXPOSING ELECTRICAL/MECHNICAL COMPONENTS AND THE SHARP EDGES OF THE CRACKED PLASTIC SHOULD AN ACCIDENT OCCUR. WHEN I CONTACTED CHEVROLET THEY EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THEY COULDN'T HELP BECAUSE I AM NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE WHICH IS REALLY IRRELEVANT WHEN YOU HAVE A WHOLE FLEET OF VEHICLES EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.

HAVE P275/55 R20 BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA TIRES WITH 25,600 MILES ON THEM, 10/32 OF TREAD LEFT AND THE DRY ROTTING IS HORRIBLE ESPECIALLY AROUND THE RIM! CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE DIRECTLY TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY ACTIVE RECALLS AND WAS BASICALLY BRUSHED OFF AS AN OZONE PROBLEM. THE LADY SAID BRIDGESTONE HAD NO RECALLS ON ANY OF THERE TIRES. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BRIDGESTONE AND CONCERNED THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY BAD BLOWOUT.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND I'M CONCERNED THIS MAY AFFECT SAFETY FEATURES SUCH AS AIRBAGS. ALSO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE (BUT MUCH WORSE) IN MY CHEVROLET AVALANCHE. THESE DASHBOARDS ARE CHEAP AND FLIMSY.

THE FRONT HAS A LARGE CRACK WHICH IS GETTING WORSE EVERY DAY. CAUSING THE DASH TO RATTLE CONSTANTLY EVENT AT SLOW SPEEDS.

THE TOP DASH BOARD IN FRONT OF DRIVER SEAT AND THE PASSENGER SEAT HAS CRACKED AND I HAVE READ THE IT COULD POSSIBLE AFFECT THE AIRBAG. THE CRACK ON THE DRIVER SIDE IS ABOUT 12 INCHES AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ABOUT 6 INCHES. THE VEHICLE WAS PARK AT MY HOUSE WHEN I NOTICES THESE CRACKS.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. I'M CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT, SHARP PLASTIC PIECES COULD BE DANGEROUS.
