  DASH CRACKING - MULTIPLE PLACES

• 12/11/2013· POWER TRAIN

  WHEN THE CAR IS COLD AND WENT ON THE FREEWAY AND AFTER ABOUT 20 TO 30 MINUTES OF DRIVING WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY, THE TRANSMISSION, MAKES A CLUNK SOUND AND DOWNSHIFTS AND JERKS THE WHOLE CAR AND IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE GOING THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD AND CAUSES WHIPLASH LIKE EFFECTS. LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU IN THE BACK WITH A BASEBALL BAT. TOOK CAR IN TO SUBARU DEALER THEY TRIED REPROGRAMMING BUT IT DID NOT WORK. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND SUBARU DOES NOT HAVE ANY ANSWERS. *TR

• 12/11/2013· POWER TRAIN

  WHILE DRIVING THE CAR WHEN IT WAS COLD, AND RUNNING FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES, WENT ON THE FREEWAY AND WHILE DE ACCELERATING, THE TRANSMISSION JERKED AND LOCK FOR A BRIEF SECOND, AND FELT LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU IN THE BACK WITH A BASEBALL BAT. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN THE CAR IS STARTED FIRST THING IN THE MORNING OR EVENING. WHEN THE CAR IS COLD. THIS GIVES A FALSE SENSE OF BREAKING WHILE EXITING A FREEWAY AS THE TRANSMISSION LOCKS AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO LOCK ALL THE GEARS AND THROW YOU INTO THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS LIKE A ROLLER COASTER RIDE AT END AND THROWING YOU FORWARD. OR LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU WITH A BASEBALL BAT. DEALER UNABLE TO FIX PROBLEM TO THE DEALER AND THEY TRIED TO REPROGRAM THE TRANSMISSION IT DID NOT WORK. STILL HAVING ISSUES AND SUBARU OF AMERICA TOLD ME, THAT THEY HAVE MANY TECHNICAL ISSUES WITH THE POWER TRAIN AND NOT SURE WHICH ISSUE THIS APPLIED TO. *TR

  WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THIS MOSTLY OCCURS ON SURFACE STREETS, THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOW COME ON AND THEN BLACK OUT THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HAS EVEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THEN COME BACK ON. THIS IS QUITE TERRIFYING! THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS BRAND NEW. THE ONLY TIME THE CAR LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A SLOWER RATE OF BETWEEN 30-50 MPH.

AFTER 3 DAYS WHILE IM DRIVING IT AT 40 M/HR IT LOOSES POWER AND CAME BACK THEN WHEN I PARKED IT WONT START AGAIN SO IT WAS TOWED GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE ON THE TRANSMISSION WHEN BACKING AND MOVING IT FORWARD. BUT AFTER 3 DAYS THEY SAID EVERYTHINGS FINE AND THEY WANT ME TO TAKE IT HOME BUT I REFUSED AND IT STAYS THERE FOR 3 WKS, THEY NEVER CALL ME FOR UPDATES, NEVER CALL ME BACK EVERYTIME I LEFT A MSG OR NOT ANSWER MY PHONE CALL AT ALL. NEVER GIVE ME A LOANER CAR WHICH IS PART OF MY WARRANTY, AND AFTER 3 WKS THEY TOLD ME TO PICK UP MY CAR BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO FIX.

• 10/13/2016· AIR BAGS,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

  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..

  2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, DASH BOARD CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG, DASH RATTLES AND VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING, CRACKS APPEARING WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSE ALL AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS THE DASHBOARD WILL BECOME FRAGMENTED AND LAUNCH PLASTIC SHRAPNEL INTO THE FACE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER, IN MY VIEW THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE DASHBOARD CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND POTENTIAL DISABILITY AND POTENTIALLY BLIND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND DRIVER. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THERE RE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES ALL WITH THE SAME RELATED PROBLEM OF CRACKING DASHBOARDS

BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE DEALERSHIP ON 9/24/12 AS TO HOW WE SHOULD SECURE THE SPARE WITHOUT CAUSING RUBBING AGAIN. THEY ADVISED THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND CALL US BACK. STILL HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. CONCERNED WITH CONTINUED RUBBING ON THE SIDE WALLS IF WE SHOULD EVER NEED TO USE THE SPARE AGAIN AS IT CAN BLOW OUT. *TR

THE OTHER 2 TIRES WERE MANUFACTURED IN 2015. THE TWO TIRES MADE IN 2013 ARE EXPERIENCING THE TREAD COMING OFF, PEELING, AND CHUNKS MISSING OUT OF THE TREAD. THESE ARE NOT IN THE MICHELIN LTX RECALL BY A FEW WEEKS. THE 2015 TIRES ARE FINE. HOW THEY ARE ALLOWED TO SELL 2 YEAR OLD TIRES AS NEW IS BEYOND ME BUT THESE OLD TIRES ARE NOT SAFE IN MY OPINION.

• 10/05/2016· STRUCTURE

  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.

  WENT TO BUY A NEW SUBURBAN, FOUND A GOOD USED ONE WITHOUT THE CRACKED DASH. WELL WITHIN 2 MONTHS WE NOW HAVE A CRACK IN OUR DASH. WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD $1500 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHEVY WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. HOW ARE THERE TONS OF OTHER BRAND VEHICLES WITHOUT THIS ISSUE? ALWAYS HAVE A SUNSHADE ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS IT ONCE A WEEK. I NOW WANT TO TRADE THIS FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM. CRACK LOOKS LIKE IT COULD INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG OPERATION. OR SEND SHARDS OF PLASTIC WHEN AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. IT HAPPENED PARKED IN OUR GARAGE OVER NIGHT.

  My dash on my 2012 Suburban cracked within 4 years of its manufactured date and it just keeps getting worse. If there were an accident it is so dry and cracked it will through hard plastic into the driver and passengers. I know of many other same and similar year models that have the same issue. Now that there is a passenger-side airbag recall would be the perfect time for GM to step up and fix this obvious flaw.

• 08/13/2015· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  WHILE JUST STARTING TO ACCELERATE, THE RADIO SHUT OFF, THE AUTOMATIC LOCKS STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN, THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK, SHUT OF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED WITHOUT ISSUE 5 MINUTES LATER. TWO DAYS LATER, THE SAME THING HAPPENED, ONLY THIS TIME, WHEN WE WENT TO RESTART THE TRUCK, IT SEEMED AS THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AS NO DOME LIGHTS WOULD COME ON AND THE FOB WOULD NOT WORK THE DOOR LOCKS. 3 HOURS LATER WHEN THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR SHOWED UP, THE TRUCK STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED 5 TIMES SINCE APRIL 6TH. THE LAST TIME, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AS I WAS CROSSING A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY. LUCKILY, WE WERE NOT HIT. SEEING MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THE SAME ISSUE MAKE ME THINK IT IS NOT UNIQUE TO MY VEHICLE. "DEAD BATTERY" THAT ISN'T DEAD... "LOCKS GOING UP AND DOWN", "SUDDEN DECELERATION". DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND BE KILLED FOR ANYONE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS ISSUE?? WHY NOT BE PROACTIVE AND START INVESTIGATION BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED??
