2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 Complaints

CONSUMPTION OF OIL DUE TO THE STUCK RING AND BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE I HIT 100K MILES THE DEALER JUST GAVE ME THE RUN AROUND.

MY DASH STARTED TO CRACK ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT. IT STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG; BUT HAS NOW HAS EXPANDED CAUSING THE AIRBAG COVER TO LIFT. THE DASH IS NOW CRACKED ON BOTH DRIVER AND THE PASSENGER SIDE. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE 3 YEARS AGO AND HAVE SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS IN REGARDS TO FIXING THE PROBLEM AS IT SEEMS TO BE PROGRESSING OVER THE YEARS; BUT EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS ONLY WILLING TO COVER A PERCENTAGE.

THE DARK IN CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES INCLUDING AROUND THE AIR BAG. THE DANGER IS THE DASH ITSELF COULD BECOME PIECES OF SHRAPNEL IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY. THE CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS DUE TO THE TIGHT FIT OF THE DASH IN THE SPACE ALLOWED. THIS IS OUR SECOND DASH AS THE FIRST CRACKED DASH WAS ALREADY REPLACED.

3 DOOR LATCHES HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND WILL NOT ALLOW THE DOOR TO STAY SHUT. THIS CAN OBVIOUSLY BE VERY DANGEROUS IF THEY WERE TO GIVE OUT WHEN DRIVING AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE HEARD.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD PREMATURELY CRACKED IN THE SAME AREA TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE WHERE THEY REPLACED THE DASHBOARD, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED AND INDICATED THAT A CLIP FRACTURED AND THERE WAS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED A THIRD TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 86000 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 89000 MILES THE DASH BEGAN CRACKING. IT HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK EVER SINCE. THE FIRST ONE WAS ON THE LEFT FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. SINCE THEN I HAVE NUMEROUS CRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED AND THE DASH BREAKS FURTHER AND SENDS PROJECTILES OF THE DASH MATERIAL AIRBORNE IN A CRASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THESE MODEL VEHICLES FROM 2007 TO 2011. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND PAID FOR BY GM. SOME OF THESE CRACKS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE MOVING AND ONE EVEN HAPPENED FROM THE INTERIOR GETTING COLD INSIDE.

STEPPED ONTO THE RUNNING BOARD TO ENTER THE VEHICLE AND UPON DOING SO THE DASH CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. A FEW WEEKS AFTER THIS I NOTICED THAT THE DASH HAD CRACKED AT AN UNKNOWN TIME ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DIRECTLY NEXT TO THE AIRBAG SECTION OF THE DASH. HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND CANNOT GET A RESPONSE.

THE TRUCK USES A QUART OF OIL EVERY 1000-1500 MILES. THIS IS NOT GOOD FOR THE ENVIORNMENT OR MY WALLET.

MY TWO CHILDREN AND I WHERE COMING HOME FROM A WRESTLING TOURNAMENT TRAVELING ON A HIGHWAY DOING ABOUT 65 MPH. THEY WERE IN THE BACK SEAT. WE ALL HAD SEAT BELTS ON. I HAD A EPILEPTIC SEIZURE AND THEY SAID MY FOOT HIT THE THROTTLE SO WE MIGHT HAVE BE GOING FASTER WHEN WE HIT. I LAST RECALL DOING THE SPEED LIMIT. I WENT TO THE LEFT AND MISSED A POWER POLE BUT HIT THE RAILROAD TRACKS(THESE TRACKS ARE BANKED UP ON DIRT AND ROCK). WHICH CAUSED THE SUBURBAN TO SOME HOW ROLL 4 TO 5 TIMES DOWN THE TRACKS.WE ENDED UP ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TRACKS ON OUR RIMS. EVERY TIRE WAS BLOWN. EVERY WINDOW WAS SHATTERED EXCEPT THE FRONT IT HAD A HOLE IN A CENTER OF IT WHICH A RAILROAD TIE CAME THRU. THERE ARE IMPRESSIONS OF THE RAILROAD ROAD TRACKS ON THE SUBURBAN . THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE SUBURBAN IS SMASH DOWN TO THE DRIVER HEAD REST . I ENDED UP WITH A BROKEN NECK. THANK GOODNESS MY KIDS SEATS WERE RECLINED IN THE BACK OR THEIR NECKS WOULD HAVE BROKE. NOT ONE PART OF THIS SUBURBAN IS NOT SMASHED. EVERYTHING FLEW OUT OF IT WHEN WE ROLLED. MY SON HAD TO CRAWL OUT THE WINDOW AND SEARCH ON THE GROUND TO FIND CELL PHONES THAT FLEW OUT OF THE SUBURBAN WHEN WE WRECKED TO CALL 911. THE SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED MY FAMILY. I ALWAYS FELT SAFE WITH THEM. BUT WE ROLLED AND THEY DID NOT WORK. EVEN THE FRONT AIRBAG DIDN'T GO OFF WHEN I FIRST HIT THE TRACKS. BESIDES MY BROKEN NECK IT ALL TURNED OUT GOOD. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHEVY AGAIN. OUR INSURANCE COMPANY SAID OUR SUBURBAN IS TOTALED. ONLY THING WORTH ANYTHING IS MAYBE THE SEATS. EVERYTHING THING ELSE IS SCRAP METAL. IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE PICTURES YOUR WELCOME TO CONTACT US. BUT PLEASE CHECK INTO THESE SUBURBANS. IF WE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD SEATBELTS WE WOULD ALL BE DEAD. MY HUSBAND WENT AND BOUGHT A 2015 FORD . I WILL NEVER PUT MY TRUST IN A CHEVY AGAIN. OR AIRBAGS. I'M WONDERING IF THEY JUST PUT A AIRBAG STICKER IN THEM TO MAKE US FEEL SAFE. THANK YOU *TR

SAFE LITE AUTO GLASS PLACED POLYEURETHANE GLUE ON THE REAR WINDOW AUTO DEFROSTER METAL CONTACT TO THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CHEVY 2007 LT SUBURBAN. I HIT THE REMOTE STARTER AND ALLOWED THE CAR TO RUN FOR 9 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WILL AUTO SHUT OFF AFTER 10 MINUTES. MY DAUGHTER SMELLED SMOKE IN THE CAR SO I INSERTED MY IGNITION KEY AND I ROLLED DOWN THE WINDOWS. I THEN BACKED MY CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE, PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AND MY REAR WINDOW EXPLODED INTO PIECES OF GLASS EVERYWHERE. I CALLED THE POLICE, FILED A POLICE REPORT, FILED A CLAIM WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY (GEICO, REF CLAIM # : 0501768800101053) WHERE THE CLAIMS ADJUSTER FOUND THAT THE METAL CONTACT DID CAUSE A CHEMICAL REACTION WITH THE POLYURETHANE GLUE AS THE CAUSE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
