2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Complaints

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED TO SCHEDULE A RECALL EXCHANGE OF MY AIRBAG WITH THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT CHEVROLET HASN'T FOUND A SOLUTION / REMEDY FOR FIXING MY AIRBAG SO THIS IS WHY I AM FILING A COMPLAIN AND I RECEIVED MY NOTICE BACK IN 2016 IN THIS IS 2017 NOW AND THERE STILL ISN'T ANY TYPE OF REMEDY TO FIX THE AIRBAG FOR THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED 4 TIMES WITH NO SUCCESS IN GETTING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED BILL CRAMER CHEVROLET BUICK GMC (2251 N W 23RD ST. PANAMA CITY, FL 32405; 850-387-4532) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

UPDATED 8/7/18*JB

CONTACTED DEALER IN 2016 ABOUT TAKATA RECALL. TOLD ME THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. CONTACTED DEALER IN OCT 2017 AGAIN, TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I BELIEVE THE GENERAL MOTORS HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO ACQUIRE REPLACEMENT AIR BAG INFLATOR AND THAT THEY ARE DELIBERATELY STALLING HOPING THE PROBLEM WILL SIMPLE GO AWAY. I NEED MY TRUCK FIXED SO THAT MY WIFE CAN RIDE WITH ME ON TRIPS.

DASH COVER. FIRST OFF THE DASH IS CRACKING LIKE SO MANY OTHERS. THE PIECES ARE GETTING SHARP AS IT IS THICK PLASTIC. I CUT MY HAND ON IT JUST DUSTING IT. THE PARTS THAT ARE CRACKED ARE RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACKS HAVE GROWN THE WIDTH OF THE COVER. THESE CRACKS OCCUR FREQUENTLY IN MOTION OR NOT IN MOTION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS THE HEAT AND BUMPS BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAGS GO OFF THOSE PIECES OF THE DASH COULD FLY AND BREAK OFF LIKE NOTHING AND HURT SOMEONE EVEN WORSE IN THAT TYPE OF SITUATION. THE PHOTO PROVIDED IS JUST TWO OF THE FOUR LOCATED ON THE DASH.

WE HAVE A 2007 SUBURBAN WITH THE 5.3L ENGINE. AFTER, MUCH RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, MY WIFE AND I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE EVIDENTLY IS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE AFM LIFTERS. OUR VEHICLE DOES HAVE MILES, BUT SINCE THIS EVIDENTLY IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WE DID THINK CHEVROLET WOULD AT LEAST OFFER SOME ASSISTANCE WITH THE REPAIR. A LIFTER COLLAPSED AND THE COST TO REPLACE THE LIFTERS IS $3,500.00, PLUS TAX AT TOM GILL CHEVROLET IN FLORENCE, KY. I DON'T BLAME THE DEALER FOR THIS, BUT CHEVROLET HAS REALLY DROPPED THE BALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MANY, MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO BETTER PROTECT THE CONSUMER.

(1)TAKATA RECALL (2) DASH BOARD CRACKED AT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND BY PASSENGER AIRBAG. PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT IS A COMMON ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR/MODEL CHEVROLET AND WOULD HAVE TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM WITH A GM DEALER.
