2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Complaints

THE DASHBOARD IS SEVERELY CRACKED IN MULTIPLE SPOTS. I FEAR IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT MY AIRBAGS WOULD BE COMPROMISED. NOT TO MENTION ONE CRACK IS ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH IS RECALLED DUE TO THE TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL THAT SEEMS TO NEVER BE RESOLVED. I AM AWARE OF MANY GMC/CHEVROLET OWNERS THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE.

AS I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE TURNS ON AND OFF WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING. ALSO THE ELECTRICAL GOES BAD IN THE CAR CAUSING THE NAVIGATION AND RADIO TONGO ON AND OFF. STABILTRAK GOES OFF ON THE VEHICLE AND THEN COMES BACK ON. TODAY AS I AM DRIVING MY CAR LOST POWER AND NOW THE SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON.

OIL BLOW BY WHEN DROPS TO 4 CYLINDERS, TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHILE UNDER WARRANTY TO PUT IN A BYPASS VALVE TO "SEE" IF WILL FIX, DIDN'T SO NEXT STEP WAS TO HAVE BOTTOM HALF OF ENGINE REBUILT WHICH I HAD TO PAY FOR OUT OF POCKET WHICH THEN IN TURN ENDED UP BLOWING UP MY WHOLE ENGINE EITHER BECAUSE THE LIFTERS GOT TO HOT & WARP(WHICH WAS THE CAUSE ORIGINALLY FOR THE OIL CONSUMPTION AS THE HEADS) OR THE FACT THAT THE DEALERSHIP SANDED THE HEADS WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED METAL SHAVINGS TO DISPERSE THROUGH THE ENGINE. EITHER WAY THE ISSUE BEGAN WHILE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AS HAD BEEN DEALING WITH DEALER FOR 2 YEARS WHEN ISSUE BEGAN TO THE DATE ENGINE BLEW. HAD DEALER PUT BACK TOGETHER TO TAKE TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR 2ND OPINION AND THEY ALSO SAID IT'S BEEN A KNOW ISSUE WITH THE SUBURBAN FROM 2007-2011 BUT IS NOT A RECALL AS OF YET - I WANT MY MONEY BACK, I SHOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THE "SEE IF THIS WORKS PART", THE BOTTOM HALF OF ENGINE TO BE REBUILT, & THEN A NEW ENGINE WHEN GM & DEALERSHIPS KNOW THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR 4 YEARS!!!! TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. I'M NOT EVEN INCLUDING ALL THE TIME & GAS TAKEN AS HAD TO TAKE VEHICLE TO DEALER TO TEST OIL LEVELS EVERY 1,000 MILES FOR 2 YEARS - AGAIN WHEN A KNOWN ISSUE. HAVE PAPERWORK FROM DEALERS ON HAND.

FUEL LEAK HAS DEVELOPED BETWEEN TWO FUEL LINES THAT HAVE BEEN RUBBING TOGETHER FROM THE DATE OF MANUFACTURE UNTIL 4/23/18. THIS LEAK DEVELOPED LESS THAN INCHES FROM THE EXHAUST SYSTEM ON THE BRADED LINE PORTION OF THE FUEL LINES NEAR THE CONNECTIONS AT THE FUEL TANK END. THE ISSUE WAS NOTICED AS I WAS DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR BUMPER TO BUMPER TRAFFIC ON 395 NORTH IN WASHINGTON DC THROUGH THE 3RD ST. TUNNEL. THE ODOR OF GASOLINE WAS DETECTED, BUT THOUGHT TO BE COMING FROM ELSEWHERE. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ANOTHER MILE BEFORE I REALIZED THE SOURCE WAS MY VEHICLE. WHEN I PARKED IT I NOTICED FUEL POOLING UNDER IT AT THE TRANSMISSION CROSS MEMBER. AFTER IT COOLED, I WENT UNDER IT AND DISCOVERED TO CAUSE OF THE LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED HOME VIA AAA. THE MILEAGE AT THE MOMENT CANNOT BE OBTAINED BECAUSE THE DASH IS DIGITAL WHICH CAUSES THE FUEL SYSTEM TO ENERGIZE AND SPRAY FUEL WHEN TURNED ON.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET ANY DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS THAT ARE BEING RECALLED.

THE DASH IS CRACKED OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH JUST ABOVE THE CENTER SPEAKER.

TAKATA RECALL: AVAILABLE ONLINE INFORMATION TELLS ME THAT AS THE AIRBAGS AGE, THEY BECOME MORE SENSITIVE TO FAILURE. ALSO, FLORIDA SEEMS TO HAVE A HIGHER FAILURE RATE THAN MOST STATES DUE TO HEAT AND HUMIDITY. I KEEP RECEIVING NOTICES IN THE MAIL TELLING ME TO GET REPAIRS, BUT ALL GM DEALERSHIPS CONTACTED HAVE INFORMED ME THAT GM IS NOT PROVIDING PARTS REPLACEMENTS.I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS CONDITION AND FEEL I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET A PROMPT REPAIR.

THE BATTERY CABLES FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLES MOTOR AND POWER TO SHUTDOWN WHILE DRIVING 70MPH WITH A WIFE AND 4 CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A LETTER 1 AND HALF YEARS AFTER THE RECALL OF MY AIRBAGS. I WENT TO WWW.AIRBAGRECALL.COM TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED, WALKED THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND IT SENT ME TO A LOCAL DEALER. CALLED THEM AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO FIX YET FOR THE AIRBAGS

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO HAVE IT FIXED BY MY DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED PARTS FROM GM
