  1.)WHEN WE WERE DRIVING THRU THE MOUNTAINS OUR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO GO HAYWIRE AND THE LIGHTS STARTED GOING IN AND OUT AND THE IGNITION STARTED TO ACT UP CAR TURNED OFF A FEW TIMES WE HAD TO RESTART IT WHEN WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT THEY SAID THERE WAS COINS IN THE RADIO. 2.) THE DEFROSTERS FOR THE FRONT WINDSHIELD DOESN'T DEFROST THE WINDOW AT ALL WHEN DRIVING IN COLD DAYS THE WHOLE WINDOW FOGS UP AND FREEZES MAKING VISIBILITY TO NONE AND WE HAVE TO STOP WIPE DOWN THE WIND SHIELD AND DRIVE AGAIN FOR TEN MINUTES THEN THIS PROBLEM GOES ON AND ON THE HEATER GOES ON FULL BLAST BUT NO RESULTS THAT IS A VERY UNSAFE AND UN DRIVABLE AT TIMES. COINS IN THE RADIO? I WAS ASTONISHED AND VERY UPSET HOW COULD AN INDUSTRY MAKE A VEHICLE THAT IF WATER IS SPILLED ON/OR IN THE RADIO OR COINS DROPPED IN THE CD COMPARTMENT THAT THE WHOLE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES OUT AND STARTS GOING HAYWIRE ESPECIALLY HERE IN ALASKA A LOT SNOW AND HARSH WINTER DRIVING CONDITIONS ARE NOT GREAT AND IF THE VEHICLE STALLS DO TO THE RADIO AND DEFROSTERS NOT WORKING OR SOMEONE SPILLED SOMETHING ON THE RADIO THEN THE PEOPLE AND CHILDREN WOULD FREEZE TO DEATH THEN WHO WOULD BE AT FAULT THAT MEANS THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE VEHICLE IS GONNA BE LIABLE FOR THE CONSEQUENCES THE DEFROSTERS NOT WORKING DOESN'T HELP ANY WE HAVE TO DRIVE THRU THIS WEATHER OUT HERE 9MONTHS OUT OF THE YEAR AND HAVE TO SUFFER BECAUSE OF THESE SITUATIONS THAT IS INEXCUSABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS TO PUBLIC THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND RESOLVED. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES BUT THE PROBLEM STILL CONSISTS DOING THE HORRIBLE DANGEROUS THINGS THAT THE SUBURBAN DOES WE HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN AGAIN BECAUSE THE RADIO IS ACTING UP AGAIN AND DEFROSTERS ARE ACTING UP THIS IS A DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

  THIS IS A FLORIDA VEHICLE WHERE HEAT AND HUMIDITY (THE MAJOR FACTORS IDENTIFIED WITH FAILURES OF THESE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS) CAN CAUSE MY SUBURBAN TO BE A HIGH RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. WE SUBMITTED FOR THIS RECALL IN 2016 AND HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED ON STATUS OR ESTIMATED TIME FOR THE PARTS/PROCEDURES TO BE READY TO COMPLETE THIS REPAIR. AS GM DISAGREES WITH THIS RECALL, THEY APPEAR TO BE STALLING IN HOPES THAT THE VEHICLES WILL JUST BE RETIRED BEFORE THEY HAVE TO REPAIR THEM. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE DIE FOR THE NHTSA TO FORCE THE HAND ON GM TO IMPLEMENT THIS RECALL.

• 12/22/2017· AIR BAGS

  TAKATA RECALL ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I RECEIVED A CARD INFORMING ME ABOUT THE AIR BAG INFLATORS BEING DEFECTIVE. I CALLED THE DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM AND THEY TRANSFERRED ME TO PARTS DEPARTMENT. UPON STATING THEY HAD NOT RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS, THEY ADVISED TO CALL BACK LATER. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 2 HEARS BUT THEY STATE THE PARTS HAVE NOT COME IN. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING MYSELF OR PUTTING MY FAMILY FOR TRIPS IN THE SUBURBAN WITHOUT REPLACING THE AIR BAGS.

  DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED WITHOUT ANY INTERVENING EVENT. ONE CRACK ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IS DIRECTLY ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID IF AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES OR POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG OPERATION. ANOTHER CRACK ON TOP OF DASHBOARD IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENTATION CLUSTER IS MORE THAN 5.5 TO 6 INCHES LONG.

• 12/07/2018· UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  IN EARLY 2018, WE NOTICED A VERY SMALL CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD JUST ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN COWLING AND DISCUSSED SAME WITH OUR DEALERSHIP. WE WERE TOLD THEY'D CALLED GM AND THEN ADVISED US THAT WE'D NEED TO PAY $800 AND THEY'D PICK UP THE REST. KNOWING THIS WAS NOT OUR FAULT AND HAD TO BE A DEFECT, WE REFUSED AND HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED. SINCE THAT TIME, THE CRACK HAS NOW RUN TO BE SEVERAL INCHES LONG. THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD IS A SAFETY RISK. GM HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS AND HAS DONE NOTHING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. GM HAD DEFRAUDED THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH UNFAIR AND DECEPTIVE CONDUCT AND HAS CONTINUED TO SELL/REPLACE DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS.

• 12/06/2014· AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE

  THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED MAJOR CRACKS IN TWO PLACES. ONE CRACK IS ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE OTHER CRACK IS ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN.

STILL NO INDICATORS OF ANYTHING WRONG ON MY DASH, PROCEEDED TO MOVE THE CAR OUT OF THE FREEWAY AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. MINUTES LATER THE CAR ACTED NORMAL AGAIN. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

  EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ON GM VEHICLES AND IT AFFECTS BOTH MY 2011 SUBURBAN AND 2012 SILVERADO WITH 5.3 FLEX FUEL ENGINES. THE SUBURBAN IS MORE NOTICEABLE SINCE WE USE IT FOR LONG ROAD TRIPS. THE TRUCK IS MOSTLY CITY DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS TO BE CAUSED BY THE AFM AND PCV. I WILL BE INSTALLING THE UPGRADED VALVE COVER IN HOPES OF PREVENTING A MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. IT WOULD BE NICE IF GM RECALLED THESE ENGINES WITH AN ADEQUATE FIX. I ONLY NOTICE BURNING OIL ON STARTUP COMING FROM THE EXHAUST. CURRENT MILEAGE ON THE SUBURBAN IS 104,000. I HAVE NOT TOUCHED ANYTHING IN THE ENGINE BAY OR CABLE COVERS YET.

  VERY CONCERNED THAT THE CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD STARTED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOW HAVE SPREAD ALL THE WAY ACROSS TO THE DIAL AREA. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ IT SEEMS THIS IS A HAPPENING TO A LOT OF THE GM/CHEVY VEHICLES AND IS A PROBLEM GM SHOULD REALLY ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE WHEN A AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND THE SHARP PLASTIC THE CRACKS ARE MAKING IMMEDIATELY DEFLATES THE AIRBAG AND IT IS USELESS? STEP-UP GM AND ISSUE THE RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE AND SOMEONE DIES.

  WE OWN A 2011 CHEVY SUBURBAN AND ONE DAY NOTICED TWO CRACKS ON OUR DASHBOARD. ONE CRACK LEADS STRAIGHT INTO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER CRACK IS OVER THE DASH CONSOLE ON THE DRIVER SIDE. BECAUSE OUR SUBURBAN IS OUT OF THE 36K MILE WARRANTY WE WERE REFERRED TO GM. WE CALLED GM AND WERE TOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $450.00 OUT OF OUR POCKET TO GET IT FIXED. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT EITHER 1) THE AIR BAG MAY NOT DEPLOY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT OR 2) THAT IT WILL DEPLOY ON ITS OWN WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT GM IS NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT AND REPLACE AT NO COST AS THIS IS CLEARLY EITHER A MANUFACTURER DEFECT OR A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT. *TR
