A police report was filed, but the report number was not provided to the contact. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. After the incident occurred, the contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V050000 (Air Bags).

Took my SUV for an airbag recall and when it was completed my truck AirBag light was left on. My truck did not have that light on when I arrived at the location. Dealer mentioned not knowing what to do about it. I made a complaint and nothing was done by the dealer.

The dash board in the vehicle is cracked and none is able to fix problems. The engine misfire and to figure out the problem cost lost of money. The lifters goes bad on vehicle. Suspension works always need.

I have a 2008 Suburban. Beginning in August, there was an accident on the highway and traffic was backed up. I was idling, waiting for the traffic to move, like every other car on the hightway and the suburban just shut off and said "Stablitrak off." It happened numerous times after this, just when idling. I took to the dealership I bought it at. They charged a ton to fix something but it didn't' take care of the problem. It's gotten so much worse. I took back a few months ago and they fixed it again, but didn't charge us this time. Now it's so much worse. Anytime I'm iding, just picking my daughter up at school or just stopped at a red light, a warning comes across, "service stabilitrak" or "stablitrak off." and the car immediately shuts off. It usually restarts in 5 minutes or so and I can usually make it to my destination as long as I don't idle again. Monday I was picking up my daughter and it stalled in the parking lot at her high school with tons of cars behind me- I waited, restarted it as I have done in the past. But then, going down this steep high school hill, the car shut off, lost steering and brakes wouldn't even work. I had teen drivers ahead of me that I nearly crashed into, teens in my car. This is not ok. We took it back to the dealership and now they say it's an electrical problem. I've read a ton online forums that this is something that happens with a lot of other people. I'm afraid to drive my car. I'm also not sure what to get fixed because these other people have spent tons of money, just like me with no results.

IT'S BEEN OVER 4 YEARS SINCE RECEIVING THIS RECALL FOR AIRBAGS THAT CAN KILL ME INSTEAD OF PROTECT ME IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS IS MORE THAN ENOUGH TIME TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE BUT IT'S BEING IGNORED UNTIL EVERYONE EITHER FORGETS OR MORE PEOPLE DIE.

THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL THAT HAS BEEN OPEN NOW FOR 4 YEARS, AND GM STILL DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY FOR IT. IT SEEMS EXCESSIVE THAT GM HAS NOT YET FOUND ANY KIND OF SOLUTION WHEN OTHER CAR MAKERS WITH THE SAME TAKATA RECALLS MADE REMEDIES NEARLY AS SOON AS THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. *TR

THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CHEVY SUBURBAN WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS. I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR A LONG WHILE ON WHEN THERE WILL BE A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL AND EVERYTIME I CHECK THERE IS NOTHING NEW STATED. THIS DEFECT DEALS WITH THE AIR BAG. A FUNCTION OF THE CAR THAT DEALS WITH SAFETY. I THINK IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG WITH THERE BEING NO INFORMATION PUT OUT ON HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. PEOPLE HAVE SPENT THEIR HARD EARN MONEY ON THE PURCHASE OF AN EXPENSIVE PRODUCT AND THE PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE DUE TO THE MANUFACTURE. THEIR IS A BIG CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD THAT ALSO LOOKS TERRIBLE. PLEASE GET ON THIS COMPANY ABOUT NOT TAKING THE TIME TO DO WHAT'S RIGHT BY THEIR CUSTOMERS.

STABILIZER BAR BUSHING BROKE LOOSE FOR THE FRAME MOUNT CAUSING STABILIZER BAR TO HANG ON ONE SIDE(PASSENGER). HAVE TO HAVE IT WELDED AND FABRICATED TO REPAIR THE ISSUE.THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I HEARD A NOISE THEN I RAN OVER SOMETHING WHICH WAS THE BUSHING AN CLAMP.

DRIVING WHEN YOU REACH ABOUT 30-35 MPH ALL THE LOCKS START CYCLING UP AND DOWN, ALL THE GAUGES GO HAYWIRE, THERE IS A THROTTLE IN THE ENGINE. WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF SOMETIMES IT STARTS BACK UP AND RUNS FINE AND SOMETIMES IT WON'T DO ANYTHING LIKE THE BATTERY IS DEAD AND THEN A FEW MINUTES LATER IT COMES BACK ON AND STARTS BACK UP. THE LAST INCIDENT WAS 01/09/20 BUT THIS STARTED IN 12/2019. THE VEHICLE HAS A BRAND NEW ENGINE WHICH ONLY HAS ABOUT 1,000 MILES ON IT. ALSO THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

I OWN A VEHICLE WITH TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS. THEY HAVE BEEN UNDER RECALL SINCE 2017 AND THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF BECAUSE TAKATA HAS FILED BANKRUPTCY AND GM DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION OR REMEDY APPARENTLY FOR THE RECALL!!! I NEED MY VEHICLE RECALL TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY! WHO'S TO KNOW IF MY AIRBAG INFLATORS ARE COMPROMISED AND I AM ANGRY THAT GM WILL NOT STEP UP AND FIND A SOLUTION AND PAY FOR THE RECALL!! MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY IS AT RISK!! WHY HASNT THIS RECALL ON AIRBAG INFLATORS BEEN REMEDIED?? ITS BEEN 3 YEARS! IT'S RIDICULOUS AND I AM ANGRY THAT GM DOES NOT VALUE THE SAFETY OF IT'S CUSTOMERS BY ENSURING SWIFT ACTION ON RECALLS!

DASH HAS CRACKED BY AIRBAG. ENGINE JUST STOPS WHILE DRIVING AND COMES RIGHT BACK ON AFTER VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF WON'T START NEEDS TO SIT AWHILE THEN IT STARTS AND RADIO N TEMP PANEL GOES TO DEFAULT.

AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED BUT WHEN I CALLED DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO WAIT FOR A RECALL NOTICE, THAT WAS 4 YEARS AGO I'VE STILL NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE.

HAD SAFETY RECALL GM # 49152 ON AIRBAG IT IS TO LONG GM NOT REPLACED THE AIRBAG WILL SAVE MILLIONS PER YEAR TIME TO GET IT DONE

I RECEIVED A WRITTEN NOTICE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS AR RISK FOR AIR BAG FAILURE WITH ONSTRUCTIONS TO CONTACT MY DEALER TO SCHEDULE TO SCHEDULE REPAIRS. I DID AS INSTRUCTED, AND WAS ADVISED I WOULD BE CONTACTED FOR A SCHEDULED VISIT. I RECEIVED NO FOLLOW UP. I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS REQESTING REPAIRS. I AM TOLD BY MANAGERS THERE THAT "NO FIX IS AVAILABLE". I NOTE REPORTS THAT OVER 1 MILLION VEHICLES HAVE BEEN REPAIRED. IT SEEMS THAT THE GM LOCAL DEALER IS EITHER UNIMFORMED, OR DELIBERATELY MISLEADING.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE ROAD WHEN I HAD HEARD A CREAKING NOISE COMING FROM MY DASH AREA OF MY 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP, I LOOKED AT THE DASH AND DID NOT NOTICE ANYTHING LOOSE OR THAT WHAT CAUSE THIS NOISE. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE, I NOTICED THE NOISE AGAIN AND NOTICED MY DASH WAS CRACKING IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES. ONE CRACK BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE OTHER ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE GAUGE HUMP ON THE DASH.THE CRACK BY THE AIRBAG IS ABOUT AN INCH AND A HALF. AND THE ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ABOUT 3 INCHES LONG AND STILL GROWING. I TRIED TO SEAL THE CRACKS WITH SILICONE, AND THAT DID NOT WORK.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016 FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS. AS OF TODAY THE INFORMATION STILL SAYS THAT A REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. GIVEN THE AGE OF MY 2008 SUBURBAN IT IS DANGEROUS AND RIDICULOUS THAT A REPAIR IS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. GM MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR RECALLS ON ALL POTENTIALLY AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPAIRS MADE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

AIRBAG RECALL WITHOUT SOLUTION NOW FOR YEARS AND YEARS...I HAVE BEEN CHECKING THE WEBSITE ON A REGULAR BASIS OFF AND ON FOR SOMETIME NOW, STILL NOTHING AVAILABLE. CALLED LOCAL DEALER TWICE...NO RESOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL DEALER SAYS NO OUTLOOK FOR REPAIR / REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAG UNDER THE RECALL. DEALER SAYS GM HAS NO PLANS FOR REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR REGARDLESS OF RECALL NOTICE. FIRST INQUIRED 7/20/2016, THEN 3/12/2017, 9/15/2017, 3/10/2018, AND 9/15/2018 RECEIVING SAME ANSWER / RESPONSE FROM GM DEALER. DEALER SAYS GM IS INTENTIONALLY SLOW WALKING THE SOLUTION AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT HE [DEALER] CAN / WILL DO ABOUT IT.

JAN 26, 2015, 91,750 MILEAGE. SUDDEN SUSPENSION STABILIZER LIGHT, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND RUNNING ROUGH. DEALER SAID BRAKE SWITCH AND REPLACED. POSSIBLE OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUE ALSO RULED OUT. FEB. 15, 2015, 92,413 MILEAGE. SAME PROBLEM NOW DIAGNOSED AS #4 LIFTER BROKE. FIXED FOR HALF COST. LESS THAN 300 MILES LATER, MARCH 3, SAME LIFTER BROKE AGAIN. THREE DAYS LATER ON FAMILY FUNERAL OUT OF TOWN TRIP IT BROKE AGAIN, SAME #4 LIFTER. THREE TIMES IN 1000 MILES IS RIDICULOUS. FINALLY RIGHT... FOR THREE YEARS! AUG. 30, 2018, 136,000+ MILES. MULTIPLE BROKEN LIFTERS WITH CAM DAMAGE. REBUILD OR REPLACE MOTOR FOR $6500 OR MORE. REPLACED WITH FACTORY GM CRATE REMAN. FOR $7500. PLUS TAX. ALL AT MY COST! WHY IS THIS NOT A FACTORY DESIGN FLAW PROBLEM ON RECALL, AUTO WARRANTY OR EVEN COMPLETELY STOP PUTTING THIS AFM LIFTER ON THE MARKET. TO MY BEST RECOLLECTION, THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN REGULAR DAILY CITY TRAFFIC IN LITTLE TOWN FERNANDINA BEACH, FLORIDA FOR THREE OF THE FOUR TIMES IT BROKE. ONE TIME WAS HIGHHWAY TRAVEL COMING HOME FROM SARASOTA FLORIDA. NOT JUST AN ECONOMIC OR INCONVENIENCE ISSUE BUT A SERIOUS POTENTIAL FOR ACCIDENTS WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOOSES POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. COULD BE SERIOUSLY REAR ENDED OR T-BONED TRYING TO PULL OUT IN TRAFFIC. FROM THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE SO FAR AND THE BLOGS ON THIS ISSUE FOR NEARLY 10 YEARS ON LINE, ITS TIME TO GET GM TO FIX THE REAL PROBLEM OR STOP BUILDING IT AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS.

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE NOW RECEIVED THREE ANNUAL NOTICES OF THE RECALL FOR THE KILLER AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. TO DATE, I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF REPAIR PARTS BEING MADE AVAILABLE. THIS IS AN UNREASONABLE DELAY IN THE REPAIR TO MY VEHICLE PUTTING MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AT RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH. THREE YEARS IS FAR TOO LONG TO STILL NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I AM DEMADING THAT GM BE FORCED TO EITHER REPAIR THE VEHICLE NOW OR BUY IT BACK AT A FAIR MARKET VALUE IF THEY ARE UNABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS WITHIN THE NEXT 20 CALENDAR DAYS BEGINNING 09/06/2018. NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO LIVE "OR DIE" WAITING YEARS TO GET AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS RECALL COMPLETED. IT IS TIME FOR ACTION NOW. NO MORE EXCUSES.

TAKATA RECALL - I'M THE OWNER OF A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 LTZ. TWO YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER SAYING THAT THE TAKATA AIR BAGS WERE SUBJECT TO RECALL DUE TO EXPLOSIVE HAZARDS, BUT SAID THAT WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE SUBURBAN AS USUAL (? - DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE?) AND THAT IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DISCONNECT THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY MIGHT KILL YOU IF THEY EXPLODED! DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? (NOT TO ME!) I AM A GRANDFATHER WITH TWO PRECIOUS GRANDCHILDREN. WE GO CAMPING WITH THEM AND MY GRANDSON WHO IS 14 AND SIX FEET TALL OFTEN SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT EVEN THOUGH WE'VE TOLD HIM TO SIT IN ONLY THE REAR SEATS ('I'M NOT A CHILD ANYMORE GRANDPA'). GM HAS PLENTY OF TIME TO REPLACE THESE AIRBAGS. WE LIVE IN INDIANA WE'RE THE SPRING SUMMER HUMIDITY IS OVER 80% ON A REGULAR DAILY BASIS. IF HUMIDITY IS THE ACCELERATOR FOR THE AIRBAGS POTENTIAL EXPLOSIVE MALFUNCTION, WE ARE DRIVING A CAR WITH BOMBS SURROUNDING US!!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE, NOR DOES MY WIFE NOR DO MY GRANDKIDS!!! WHEN CAN WE GET THESE DANGEROUS AIRBAGS REPLACED? WE PLAN TO KEEP THIS SUBURBAN FOR ANOTHER 5 YEARS BECAUSE IT'S TRADE-IN VALUE IS NIL WITH AN AIRBAG RECALL WARNING. WHEN WILL I GET MINE REPLACED!

ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE STRICTLY "SAFE TO DRIVE", IT IS NOT SAFE TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT IN, WHICH IS/WAS THE ENTIRE POINT OF HAVING AIR BAGS. IF UNABLE TO REPAIR THIS VEHICLE, THEY SHOULD PURCHASE IT.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL: I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN MY AREA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SEVERAL TIMES THAT THERE ARE NO PARTS OR RESOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. JUST RECENTLY ON 11/29/17 I VISITED CLASSIC CHEVORLET IN SUGARLAND TEXAS AND INQUIRED ABOUT GETTING THE AIRBAG SERVICED. THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT IN MY VEHICLE HAS CONSTANTLY STAYED ON FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS. WHEN I GET IN TO MY VEHICLE THE AIRBAG SERVICE LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON WHETHER IT IS IN MOTION OR PARKED. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR TO FIND OUT WHAT TAKATA WILL DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND MY FAMILY EVERY TIME WE GET INTO MY CAR. SOMEONE NEEDS TO FIND THE REMEDY FOR THIS SOON BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT OR LOSE THEIR LIVES.

CRACKED DASHBOARD IS DANGEROUS IN AN ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL - HAS NOT BEEN FULFILLED. AIRBAGS ARE STILL UNSAFE AND POTENTIALLY A HAZARD.

TAKATA RECALL MY COMPLAINT IS, THIS IS FROM MAY 2016, WHY IS THERE STILL NOT A FIX IN PLACE IF TAKATA WON'T FIX IT THEN GM SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS. IT'S NOT SAFE. MAYBE I SHOULD GET A LONER TRUCK UNTIL MINE IS FIXED. NO ONE HAS ANSWERS, CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME AN ANSWER!!

TAKATA RECALL MY AIRBAGS STILL HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED RECEIVED A LETTER BACK IN 2016

THE DASH ON MY 2008 SUBURBAN CRACKED AT AROUND 70,000 MILES, IN 2012. I REPORTED IT THEN TO BOTH MY DEALER AND GM. THEY CALLED THIS A COSMETIC ISSUE AND THAT THEY WERE CLEARLY NOT RESPONSIBLE, HOWEVER, MANY MANY OTHER SUBURBANS, TAHOES, SLIVERADOS, AND TRUCKS HAVE THE VERY SAME ISSUE AND AT EXACTLY THE SAME SPOTS AROUND THE AIRBAG. THE CRACKS ARE AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, SUCH THAT, IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, SHARP PLASTIC SHRAPNEL WOULD FLY INTO THE PASSENGER'S FACE. THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY CONCERN THAT I TAKE EXTREMELY SERIOUS, SUCH THAT THE SITUATION BECOMES GM IS LITERALLY AND DIRECTLY THREATENING THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PICTURES ARE ATTACHED WHICH SHOW THE SAFETY DEFECT ADJACENT TO THE AIRBAG. PLEASE HELP PUSH GM WITH ADDRESSING THIS SERIOUS DEFICIENCY.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED GM AND LOCAL DEALERS A FEW TIMES OVER THE LAST 15 MONTHS TO REQUEST THE AIRBAGS BE REPLACED BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT READY. GM'S LETTER SAYS THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE....IS THE VEHICLE SAFE OR NOT? IF IT IS SAFE THEN WHY ARE THE AIRBAGS BEING REPLACED?

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND IM WORRIED IT WILL AFFECT AIRBAG. IT CONTINUES TO GET LOOSER BY THE DAY.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, IF ITS DEPLOYED THE HARD PLASTIC DASH FRAGMENTS COULD BE DEADLY

I NOTICED THE DAMAGE ON YESTERDAY. THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS A CRACK FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM NEAR THE AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT HAS ALREADY CAUSED DAMAGE OR WILL EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE AIRBAG AND/OR CAUSE HARM TO A PASSENGER RIDING ON THAT SIDE. I AM SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING IT. I NOTICED IT ON YESTERDAY, SEPTEMBER 4, 2017. I HAVE READ QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS BY OTHERS INVOLVING DAMAGE WITH THE DASH AREA ON THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE.

TAMARA RECALL. VEHICLE IS TELLING ME TO SERVICE AIRBAGS.

WHILE VEHICLE IS IN FOWARD DRIVING MOTION ON STREET OR HIGHWAY(20 - 70MPH)OUT OF NO WHERE, TRUCK WILL HAVE A QUICK SECOND HALT IN ITS MOTION, AS IF SOMEONE PULLED AND RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE(SEE ATTACH RECORDING) ALL I FEEL IS A SUDDEN JERK WHICH ITS INTENSITY DEPENDS ON TRAVELING SPEED. IT STARTLES ME EVERY TIME! DURING THIS TIME, THE SPEED GAUGE DROP THEN RESUMES REGULAR SPEED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT APPEAR BUT IMMEDIATELY TURNS OFF AS DOES THE WORDS "PARK ASSIST OFF" ALSO DISPLAYS THEN IMMEDIATELY GOES AWAY. THESE SPORADIC EPISODE ARE BECOMING MORE FREQUENT AND COULD CAUSE TRAGIC ACCIDENT. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO HAVE ISSUE DIGNOSED BUT UNFORTUNATELY DOES NOT GENERATE CODES, ACCORDING TO ONSTAR. DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. HOWEVER THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR, BRAKE LAMP SWITCH, SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES, MASTER CYL AND BRAKE BOOSTER, FLUSHING AND REPLACING BRAKE FLUID FOR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS BUT IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. WHAT I HAVE NOTICE THE ISSUE BECOMES MORE FREQUENT WHEN THERE IS STUDDEN BRAKING(STOP AND GO TRAFFIC) FOLLOWED BY INCREASED ACCELERATION. IN ADDITION WHILE SITTING IDLE IN PARK FOR ABOUT 10MINS WITH A/C ON, TRUCK IDLES DOWN LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO CUT OFF(ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON THEN IMMEDIATELY OFF) BUT DOESN'T . DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THAT TOO. ALSO AFTER BRAKING FOR STOP LIGHT I SOMETIMES FEEL SEVERAL THUMPS AS THOUGH I'M NOT PUTTING ENOUGH PRESSURE ON BRAKE PEDDLE. NO MATTER HOW MUCH PRESSURE I PUT ON BRAKES THE THUMPS STILL SPORADICALLY OCCUR. SOMETIME WHEN THIS HAPPENS IT IS FOLLOWED BY THE FIRST ISSUE I MEANTIONED WHEN DRIVING IS RESUMED (HAULT,ENGINE LIGHT, PARK ASSIST OFF WARNING).

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG AND AROUND THE DEFROSTER AND MORE CRACK STARTING. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM FOR SO MANY.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 5 PLACES, WHICH IS QUITE A SAFETY CONCERN. IF AIRBAGS WERE TO GO OFF, SHARP CHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD COME FLYING. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED FIRST CRACK 5 YEARS AGO, ALL THE OTHERS HAVE COME YEARLY AFTER THAT.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES. RATTLES, MAKES A LOT OF CABIN NOISE AND IS DISTRACTING. NOT A SAFETY ISSUE PER SE. BUT DASH WAS CRACKED NOW FOR MANY YEARS. WHAT IS GM'S POSITION ON REPLACING DASHBOARD?

THE DASH PANEL IS CRACKING VERY BADLY ON THE VEHICLE. ESPECIALLY AROUND WHERE THE AIRBAG IS SUPPOSED TO DEPLOY. CONCERNED THAT SHARP EDGES ON THE CRACKED PLASTIC WILL IMPAIR THE FUNCTION OF THE AIRBAG

I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN FOR THE PAST 3.5 YEARS. THERE WAS A SMALL CRACK THAT STARTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD WHICH IS NOW A LONG CRACK SINCE IT CONTINUES TO GROW. THERE IS ALSO A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG. THESE CRACKS WERE NOT CREATED BY CONTACT WITH ANOTHER OBJECT, ACCIDENT, ITEMS LAID ON TOP OF THE DASH, OR VANDALISM. I FEAR THAT IF AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED, THE DASH WILL BREAK APART AND PIECES OF PLASTIC WILL BE PROJECTED TOWARDS THE PASSENGERS CAUSING GREAT BODILY HARM OR DEATH.

DASHBOARD CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE AT TOP LEFT CORNER OF AIRBAG AS WELL AS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BEHIND THE INSTRUMENTATION PANEL. CRACKED APPEARS OVER TIME, AT 48,000 MILES AND 62,000 MILES, GM SAID THEY WOULD PRO - RATE THE COST THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY BUT AFTER 100,000 MILES THE REPAIR WOULD BE ON ME TOTALLY.

DASHBOARD CRACKED EXPOSING ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND MAY BE DANGEROUS DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. IT CRACKED ON ITS OWN AND WAS UNTOUCHED.

AS WITH MANY SUBURBANS 2007 AND OLDER, I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD - ONE BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, THE OTHER ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I BELIEVE THIS ISSSUE IS VERY WIDE SPREAD. CAN ANYTHING BE DONE? CLEARLY ITS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

THE DASH IS CRACKING IN SEVERAL PLACES AND MOST SEVERELY AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. CRACK IS ALSO LARGE OVER THE SPEEDOMETER CLUSTER. CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED MOSTLY. CAR CURRENTLY HAS 188,00 MILES BUT CRACKS STARTED APPEARING ABOUT 60,000 MILES.

DASHBOARD OF 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN CRACKED IN 2 PLACES, INCLUDING AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND ABOVE DRIVERS SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/STEERING WHEEL. CONCERNED FOR THE PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG DURING POTENTIAL CRASH DUE TO THE CRACKED DASH THAT SURROUNDS THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF OTHER SIMILAR VEHICLES POSSESS THE SAME MANUFACTURING DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD AND ALL HAVE REPORTED LARGE CRACKS IN THE EXACT SAME AREA. *TR

THE ENGINE HAS A DESIGN FLAW AND CONSUMES OIL RAPIDLY, LOSES OIL AND DETERIORATES INTERNAL PARTS OF MOTOR CAUSING TOTAL ENGINE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR. THIS MOTOR IS CURRENTLY APART OF A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BUT THE LAWSUIT IS ONLY FOR THIS ENGINE IN THE 2010-2013 VEHICLES. THIS MOTOR HOWEVER HAS BEEN IN GM VEHICLE SINCE 2007 AND I ASSUME THAT THE COMPANY WITHHELD THIS INFORMATION FROM CONSUMERS AND PUBLIC JUST AS THEY DID IN 2010. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESIGN FLAW OF MOTOR IN ALL VEHICLES THAT INCLUDED THE ENGINE. PERSONALLY I HAD TO REPLACE MY MOTOR FOR EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION AT THE COST OF $7,712.13 WHICH INCLUDED TAXES. THEN, OF COURSE, THE MOTOR YOU PUT IN INHERENTLY HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND ITS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT FAILS DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION. THE LAWSUIT IS GOING TO BE FILED FOR 2010-2013 MODELS I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PRESSURE TO INCLUDE EARLIER MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME MOTOR.

WE WERE FIRST NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL IN JULY, 2016 - 6 MONTHS HAVE GONE BY AND WE CAN'T GET ANYONE AT GM/CHEVY TO PROVIDE ANY ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THE REPAIR WILL BE DONE - AS I MENTIONED, A FULL 6 MONTHS HAS GONE BY AND WE HAVEN'T A CLUE HOW TO FIX THIS

TAKATA RECALL--IT HAS NOW BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL CAMPAIGN STARTED. MY DEALER KEEPS TELLING ME THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE. I LIVE IN THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY AREA WHICH IS THE PRIMARY DANGER AREA PROMPTING THIS RECALL. MEANWHILE, I BECAUSE OF THE DANGER I CAN NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE. WHEN IS THIS PROBLEM GOING TO GET FIXED SO I CAN TRANSPORT LOVED ONES IN THIS VEHICLE? GET CHEVROLET, GM AND TAKATA MOVING ON THIS PROBLEM.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO DISTINCT PLACES AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT IS NEXT TO THE AIR BAGS

MY VEHICLE HAS AN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUE, LIKE MANY OF THE 07-08 MODELS. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO 2 DEALERSHIPS, AND THEY REQUEST THAT WE REPLACE THE CAM AND LIFTERS. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY 2 DIFFERENT CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS THAT THIS IS A BAD DESIGN BY CHEVY, AND THEY SEE IT ALL THE TIME WITH THIS YEAR. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT EVEN SELL OUR VEHICLE ON THEIR LOT IF WE TRADED IT IN. I LIVE IN A SMALL TOWN, AND I KNOW 4 PEOPLE WHO HAD THIS SAME ISSUE, AND HAD TO BUY NEW VEHICLES BECAUSE CHEVY DID NOT OFFER A SOLUTION. THE REPAIRS COST APPROXIMATELY $5000. OUR ONLY OPTION IS TO TRADE IT IN OR PAY THE REPAIRS OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS A BAD DESIGN BY CHEVY, AND A SAFETY ISSUE. WE CANNOT DRIVE OUR VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. WHEN THE ISSUE BEGAN IN OCTOBER OF 2016 WE WERE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND IT STARTED MAKING A KNOCKING NOISE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN FOLEY ALABAMA, (SOUTHERN CHEVROLET) AND WERE TOLD BY THEM IT IS A BAD DESIGN, AND THEY HAVE SEEN MANY TRUCKS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THEY DIAGNOSED AND GAVE US THE OPTION OF REPLACING THE CAM AND LIFTERS FOR $5000. WE DID NOT DO THIS AT THE TIME, AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC WHO STATED HE HAD SEEN THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES HIMSELF. HE GAVE US A TEMPORARY FIX, AND WE DROVE THE VEHICLE HOME. WE TOOK IT TO OUR LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHO TOLD US THE EXACT SAME THING. *TR

SEATS PRODUCING EXCESSIVE LINT SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. FIRST NOTICED AT 17000 MILES. STILL HAPPENING.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES, CONCERNED IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY, MAY SEND SHARP PLASTIC THROUGHOUT CABIN

DOOR HANDLES CHROME PLATING PEELS OFF ON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES. I HAVE CUT MY FINGERS MULTIPLE TIMES OPENING THE DOOR.

INTERIOR PAINT ON RADIO BUTTONS, STEERING WHEEL BEGAN PEELING OFF SHORTLY AFTER I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE.

ENGINE MOUNTS REPEATEDLY FAIL AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES, NOW IT OCCURS 1 PER YEAR. THE ENGINE TWISTS AND CLUNKS AROUND INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

TAKATA RECALL

THE PLASTIC JACK WING NUT THAT HOLDS THE JACK STORED SECURLEY IN THE INTERIOR WHEEL WELL TWISTED OFF THE FIRST TIME IT WAS USED. THE JACK WAS THEREFOR UNACESSIBLE FOR USE. THE LUG WRENCH TWISTED APART WHEN IT WAS USED TO ATTEMPT TO LOOSEN THE LUG NUTS. THE METAL IN THE LUG WRENCH WAS VERY SOFT.

MY DASH STARTED CRACKING FOR NO REASON. I WENT OUT TODAY TO GET IN MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED A CRACK ALONG MY DASH THAT WASN'T THEIR YESTERDAY.

DASHBOARD HAS MAJOR CRACKS AROUND AIRBAGS AND ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS ARE EXPOSED TO THE SUN.

APPARENTLY THERE WAS A TECHNICAL BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THIS TRUCK. THE SPECIAL WARRANTY WAS FOR 120,000 OR YEAR 2018. IN 2015 I DISPUTED THE ENGINE FAILURE AND ALSO THE OIL CONSUMPTION AND THE#7 CYLINDER. MY TRUCK WAS AT 170,000 MILES AND GM REFUSED TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. ON AUGUST 20, 2016, MY TRUCK WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I RETURNED IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN, THIS REPAIR WAS PERFORMED LESS THAN A YEAR. I CALLED GM AGAIN AND THEY REFUSED TO MAKE THE DEALERSHIP WARRANTY THE REPAIR FROM LAST YEAR. GM KNOWS THAT THIS ENGINE IS FAULTY AND REFUSE TO RECALL THIS 5.3 ENGINE. NOW I HAVE TO PAY FOR A NEW ENGINE

MY DASH HAS CRACKED AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS MAY BE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAGS EVER DEPLOY. I DID ATTEMPT TO GLUE IT.

WE NEED THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE FIXED FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR FAMILY.

I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE SEVERAL DAYS AFTER HAVING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE CHECKED OUT AND WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A NEW ENGINE, THE TRUCK HAS A LOSS OF POWER DUE TO THE STABILIZING TRAK ISSUE. AFTER READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHEVY.

"TAKATA INFLATORS" AND DASHBOARD CRACKS. I HAVE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WHICH GM IS FULLY AWARE OF, AND AVOIDS THE TOPIC WITH EVERY CALL PLACED WITH THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. NOW THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATORS TO RUPTURE ALONG WITH FRAGMENTED DASHBOARD PARTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE PRIMARY CRACK(S) ARE LOCATED RIGHT AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LOCATION. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH ABOUT THE SAFETY CONCERNS I HAVE AND THE LACK OF ATTENTION THAT GM HAS GIVEN REGARDING THE CRACKS AND NOW THE AIRBAGS.

PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

"TAKATA RECALL" AIRBAG HAS CLEARLY DEPLOYED WITHIN THE DASHBOARD OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE ENTIRE DASH ALL AROUND THE AIRBAG IS CRACKED AND BROKEN. THE AIRBAG IS SOFT IN THE AREA WHERE THERE SHOULD BE AN AIRBAG. GM IS REFUSING THAT THIS IS AN AIRBAG ISSUE BASED OFF OF PICTURES AND IS REFUSING TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER SAYING THAT IS JUST A BROKEN DASH AND I ASKED FOR AN INSPECTION WHICH THEY DENIED. I WANT TO ENSURE MY SAFETY AND PASSENGERS SAFETY SO THEREFORE WILL DISABLE THE FRONT AIRBAG AS IT MAY NOT ENGAGE OR MAY SENDS SHARDS OF PLASTIC INTO THE FACE OF MY PASSENGER IF IT IS EVER DEPLOYED.

DASH BOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS. EVEN THOUGH A SUN BLOCKER SCREEN HAS BEEN USED. OIL HAS BEEN USED WEEKLY SO THAT IT DOES NOT DRY OUT , WHEN I WASH IT. BUT IT STARTED CRACKING MORE AND MORE. NOW THE CRACKS ARE WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE. I HAVE REPORTED IT TO THE COMPANY LAST YEAR BUT NO RESPONSE

MY 2008 SUBURBAN ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO DEVELOPED 2 CRACKS ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOY'S IN AN ACCIDENT, MY ENTIRE DASH BOARD WILL BECOME SMALL PROJECTILES CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF OR ONE OF MY KIDS. THERE ARE ALREADY CLASS ACTION SUITS ON THESE AND SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAIN. I'M ASKING FOR THE NHTSA TO FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OVER THIS. THERE IS NO REASON TO RISKS ONE'S LIFE BECAUSE A MULITA-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO KNOWS THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS AMERICA, NOT SOME 3RD WORLD COUNTRY WITH NO REGULATIONS SO I ASK YOU PERFORM YOUR DUTIES AND FORCE A RECALL BY GM. THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH ADMITTED THERE IS AN ISSUE BY OFFERING CUSTOMERS TO FIX IT FOR FREE UP TO $1000.00 WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED.

DASHBOARD HAS COMPLETELY FALLEN APART AND IT IS BROKEN INTO PIECES. IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY (WHICH AIRBAGS ARE ALSO A RECALL), THIS PIECES OF DASHBOARD CAN BE DEADLY PROJECTILES TO MY FAMILY. THE DASHBOARD STARTED COMING APART SINCE 2010. I USE MY VEHICLE DAILY.

IN 2008 IT WAS HARD FINDING A SUBURBAN AS A LOT OF DEALERSHIPS CLOSED ALREADY. SO I FOUND A DEALERSHIP IN GLENDALE CALIFORNIA. IT WAS FAR FROM WHERE I LIVED. WHEN I WAS OPENING THE SUNROOF IT STARTED GOING BACK AND FORTH. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. II HAD A LONG TRIP HOME AND I WAS HOPING THAT IT WOULD JUST RESOLVE ITSELF BUT IT NEVER DID. I HAVE TOLD CHEVROLET MANY TIMES ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL FIND MY RECORDS OF HOW MANY TIMES I HAD CALLED THEM TO RESOLVE MY PROBLEM BUT THEY NEVER EVER DID A THING ABOUT IT AND IT IS STILL HAPPENING TO THIS DAY. ALSO I HAD JUST NOTICED A FEW SHORT MONTHS AGO THAT I HAVE FINE LITTLE HAIR CRACKS SHOWING UP ALL OVER MY SUBURBAN. ON THE HOOD AND ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CAR. I WENT TO MARTIN CADILLAC IN WEST LOS ANGELES THAT SERVICES CHEVROLET SUBURBANS AND THEY HAD TOLD ME YOUR CAR WAS PROBABLY REPAINTED UN-BENOIST TO ME. I HAVE HAD OTHER CARS BEFORE THIS ONE THAT I HAVE NOW AND I HAVE NEVER EVER HAD THE FINE LINES OF THE PAINT CRACKING ALL OVER MY CAR AND I CONTACTED CHEVROLET ON THIS AS WELL AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I HAVE SEEN PAINT FADING AWAY ON CARS BUT NOT CRACKING AS MY SUBURBAN HAS ALL OVER THE CAR. IN THIS DAY AND AGE, WITH ALL THE SOPHISTICATED TECHNOLOGY AND THE WAY THINGS ARE DONE SO MUCH BETTER NOW THAN EVER BEFORE ON SOMETHINGS BUT NOT EVERYTHING AS I CAN SEE IT ON MY SUBURBAN. I CONTACTED CHEY ON THIS AS WELL AND THEY REFUSE TO GIVE ME ANY HELP ON THIS. I ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES WHEN I GOT THE SUBURBAN. AS I CAME DOWN A STEEP HILL THE BRAKES STARTED TO CAUSE THE WHOLE CAR TO WOBBLE. I KNEW IT WAS THE BRAKES. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE FOR A MOMENT THE WOBBLING STOPPED THIS WAS WHEN I HAD MY CAR FOR A FEW SHORT MONTHS. MARTIN CADILLAC'S SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE PAINT CRACKING SHOULD NOT HAPPENING MAYBE GLENDALE CALIFORNIA REPAINTED THE CAR. CHEVROLET HAS REFUSED ALL 3 CLAIMS.

CHEVROLET DASHBOARD CRACKING..... NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL

EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION OF THE 5.3L ENGINE. IT 'BURNS' A QUART OF OIL BETWEEN 1100 AND1500 MILES. THE TSB ISSUED ON THE ENGINE FIXED NOTHING. CHEVY SAID THEY WON'T DO ANY MORE WHICH IS INDICATIVE OF THE CORPORATE CULTURE AT CHEVY. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM.

BEGAN NOTICING LARGE CRACKS ON DASHBOARD, WHICH HAS CAUSED THE ENTIRE FRONT INSTRUMENT PANEL TO SHIFT. PANEL NOW SAGS 1/4" LOWER ON RIGHT SIDE. CRACKS ARE ALSO SURROUNDING AIRBAG LOCATIONS. SHOULD AIRBAGS DEPLOY, THE PLASTIC COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS (IE, SHRAPNEL) ALSO, ELECTRIC LIFT-GATE HAS FAILED TWICE, FALLING WHILE I AM UNDERNEATH IT. I WAS NOT INJURED. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN BOTH INSTANCES OF THE CRACKS AND THE FAILED LIFT-GATE.

DASH HAS BEEN REPLACED IN 2010 AND IS NOW CRACKED IN SEVERAL SPOTS INCLUDING AREA AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

NTSB: 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN: CONSUMER STATED THERE WERE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. *SS

DASH BOARD CRACK OVER PASSANGER SIDE OF AUTO

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ON THE UPPER LEFT CORNER HAS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD COMPARTMENT. I NOTICED IT THIS PAST WEEKEND & IT CONCERNS ME SINCE IT IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND MANY OTHER TRUCKS BY GM HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM... GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES DUE TO THIS PROBLEM WHERE THE AIRBAG MAY BE AFFECTED.

THERE IS A BIG CRACK SPANING THE LENGTH OF THE DRIVER SIDE DASHBOARD. STARTSIN THE CORNER AND OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GETTING BIGGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK OR DRIVE, ALL FOUR DOORS FAILED TO UNLOCK AND THE KEY FOB FAILED TO UNLOCK THE DOOR. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY TRACK DISENGAGE, AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE DECELERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL SPILLED AND CAUSED THE SPARK PLUGS TO FAIL. THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AT UPPER LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LOCATION. DASHBOARD ALSO CRACKED AT TOP OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CAUSE PORTIONS OF DASHBOARD TO BREAK FREE.

I'M AM BRINGING UP A SAFETY CONCERN IN MY VEHICLE PERTAINING TO THE AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I OWN A 2008 SUBURBAN AND RECENTLY THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED RIGHT NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I HAVE CALLED THE CHEVROLET CORPORATE TO VOICE MY CONCERNS AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I AM REALLY CONCERNED IF MY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS EVER DEPLOYS IT WILL CAUSE THE DASH BOARD TO BECOME A PROJECTILE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS IS THE SECOND CHEVROLET THAT I HAVE OWNED THAT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE SAME PLACE. THE FIRST VEHICLE WAS A 07 CHEVROLET TAHOE, WHICH CHEVROLET/GM FULLY REPAIRED. I HAD TO TRADE MY 07 TAHOE BECAUSE MY FAMILY GOT BIGGER AND GOT THE SUBURBAN NOW IT HAS DONE THE SAME THING. I AM REALLY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER FAMILY'S WHO OWN A CHEVROLET WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING. THE BRAKING ABILITY SEIZED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER CONTROL MODULE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

BRAKES DO NOT CATCH EVERY TIME. HAD THEM REPLACED BUT STILL HAVE ISSUES WHERE IT SEEMS THAT WHEN YOUR PRESSING THEM TO SLOW OR STOP IT TAKES THEM A WHILE TO CATCH. SAW WHERE EARLIER MODELS HAD BRAKE LINE ISSUES.

2008 SUBURBAN 135K. VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUNNING WELL, ALL ROUTINE MAINTENANCE WAS DONE. WITHOUT ANY WARNING THE VEHICLE WAS 3 QUARTS LOW ON OIL. DEALER CHECKED ENGINE TOLD NEW ENGINE NEEDED. I WAS TOLD A COMMON PROBLEM FURTHER INVESTIGATION I NOTED FAR TO MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN ENGINE DESIGN. IT SHOULD NOT REQUIRE DEATHS BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS INVESTIGATED. LIKE SO MANY OTHERS REPAIR COST IS AN UNEXPECTED BURDEN. GM RESPONSE THE VEHICLE HIGH MILEAGE AND AGE ARE A FACTOR. THIS PROBLEM HAS AFFECTED VEHICLES WITH A RANG OF MILES. GM SHOULD RECALL THE 5.3L ENGINE AND REPAIR THE DEFECT. THE FIRST ISSUE WITH VEHICLE I WAS DRIVING ON HIGHWAY THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. GM HAS INDICATED 2 QUARTS OF OIL BEING BURNED IN 3000 MILES IS NORMAL. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER. GM SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY BAIL OUT. NO PRIOR WARNING WAS GIVEN, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR LOW OIL INDICATION , NO LEAKS.

THIS STARTED AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE AT 65 MPH. SUDDENLY MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON DASH CAME ON ALONG WITH BLINKING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. ALSO READ STABILITRAK OFF AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL IN READOUT BELOW. IMMEDIATELY MY TRUCK LOST POWER AND DECELERATED SO I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF ROAD AS TO NOT GET RAN OVER BY TRAFFIC. READ MANUAL SAID TO TURN OFF AND RESTART. DID THIS AND ALL WAS GOOD FOR ANOTHER MILE THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ON AND OFF FOR LAST 12 MILES BEFORE I COULD GET HOME. UPON TAKING IT TO DEALERSHIP TODAY THEY CAME BACK SAYING NOTHING ABOUT THESE CODES BUT THAT THERE WAS A MISFIRE CODE AND OIL LOW?? SO NOW I HAVE GOT AN OIL CHANGE AND FUEL SYSTEM CLEANING. UPON ASKING ABOUT THE INITIAL PROBLEM I WAS TOLD TO DRIVE IT TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE WITH APPARENTLY THE WHOLE TRUCK PLATFORM AT GM. THIS PROBLEM IS POSTED ALL OVER INTERNET WITH CARS EVEN SHUTTING OFF AND BRAKES LOCKING UP AND THE BIG PROBLEM IS NO DEALERSHIP KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. CHARGE PEOPLE A BUNCH OF MONEY TO FIX NUMEROUS THINGS THEY KNOW WILL NOT FIX ISSUE. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL ON 2007- AT LEAST 2010 FROM WHAT I CAN SEE FROM DATA THAT IS OUT THERE. I WILL BE SELLING MY TRUCK AFTER THIS BECAUSE I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY KIDS IN IT. I'M DIE HARD CHEVY GUY WHO HAS A 2003 SUBURBAN WITH 400000+ MILES ON IT WITH VERY LITTLE ISSUES IN ALL THESE YEARS. PLEASE MAKE GM FIX THIS PROBLEM.

FRONT AIR BAG SENSORS ALWAYS GOING BAD. SENSORS ARE ON BACKORDER; THIS TELLS ME OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM TOO. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. HAVE A 2001 FORD ESCAPE (15 YEARS OLD). HAVE NEVER REPLACED A AIRBAG SENSOR.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A SERIES OF MAJOR CRACKS FORWARD OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND A NUMBER OF CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. THE DASHBOARD SEEMS EXTREMELY BRITTLE AND IS NOW QUITE "FLIMSY" AND VIBRATES AND/OR BOUNCES UP AND DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME. WE HAVE NOT PHYSICALLY BEEN IN THE VEHICLE WHEN A CRACK FORMED OR PROPAGATED. IT APPEARS THAT THE DASHBOARD WOULD LIKELY SHATTER UPON IMPACT THUS THROWING SHRAPNEL THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND BROKEN AT PASS. AIRBAG AND CENTER OF THE DASH, AND IS REALLY BROKEN ABOVE THE CONSOLE AREA.

I HAVE SEVERAL CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK MY CAR TO DON RINGLER CHEVROLET IN TEMPLE, TX AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO AND THAT IT WAS NOT RECALLED NOR COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. MY ENTIRE DASH MOVES WHEN YOU TOUCH IT AND I'M AFRAID THAT EITHER THE AIRBAGS WILL GO OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING OR WON'T DEPLOY IF I AM IN A WRECK. THESE CRACKS HAVE INCREASED IN SIZE OVER TIME. THE SMALL ONE IS THE NEWEST CRACK THAT APPEARED OVER CHRISTMAS. I FIRST DISCOVERED THE CRACK RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL IN FEBRUARY 2010. AT THE TIME, MY CAR WAS ONLY 1 1/2 YEARS OLD. I SPECIAL ORDERED MY SUBURBAN IN THE SUMMER OF 2008.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER

TWO LARGE CRACKS IN DASH, ONE OVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER WHERE DASH MEETS AIRBAG. I NOTICED A VERY SMALL CRACK APPROX FOUR YEARS AGO AND HAS NOW GROWN SUBSTANTIALLY. RESEARCHING THIS ON THE INTERNET HAS SHOWN THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES, I AM JUST ONE MORE COMPLAINING OF A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH POSSIBLE SAFETY RAMIFICATIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, THE CONTACT'S WIFE PROCEEDED TO OPEN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE CHROME PAINT ON THE DOOR HANDLE FRACTURED AND CUT HER HAND. NO MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 137,000.......UPDATED 12/30/15 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED AN EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, THAT BROKE OFF, HAD TO BE REPLACED. THROUGH RESEACHTHE CONTACT DISCOVERED CHROME PEELING OFF OF THE INTERIOR DOOR CAUSING THE PASSENGER OR DRIVER TO CUT HIS OR HER HAND. UPDATED 2/23/2016*JS *CN

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AT THE FRONT LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT HAS ALSO CRACKED AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THESE CRACKS ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY IF I AM IN A CRASH. I AM CERTAIN THAT THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG WILL EXPAND AND CREATE SHARDS OF PLASTIC OR WORSE, PREVENT THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING PROPERLY.

MY DASHBOARD CAP IS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE JUST ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE DOME AND ALSO ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THE AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY OR THE DASH MAY BREAK FREE AND MY VISIBILITY WILL BE COMPROMISED.

THIS ENGINE IS BURNING 2-3 QUARTS OF OIL IN BETWEEN OIL CHANGES (CAR HAS LESS THAN 50,000 MILES ON IT). THIS IS THE ONLY CAR I HAVE HAD IN 30 YEARS THAT BURNS THIS MUCH OIL. I AM CONSTANTLY ADDING NEW OIL TO THIS ENGINE AND STILL HAVING TO CHANGE THE OIL REGULARLY IN ORDER TO STAY IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY DESPITE REFILLING HALF OF THE OIL WITH NEW OIL BETWEEN CHANGES.

PURCHASED THE TRUCK IN MARCH 2013 WITH APPROX 63K MILES ON IT. IN NOVEMBER 2013, STABILITRAK WARNING CAME ON. TOOK TO CHEVY DEALER WHO REPLACED SPARK PLUG AND NEW BATTERY. IN JANUARY 2015, STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT ON AGAIN. TOOK TRUCK IMMEDIATELY TO DEALER WHO HOOKED IT UP FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT DID GET ANY RESULTS. LIGHT DID NOT COME ON AGAIN UNTIL 9/8/15 WHEN I WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. SERVICE STABILITRAK/SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL/ABS ALL LIT UP. STRANGE NOISE COMING FROM RIGHT FRONT TIRE AREA WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN TO PULL OFF THE HIGHWAY, HAD NO BRAKES. PEDAL LITERALLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY THERE WAS AN INCLINE SO MY VEHICLE SLOWED ENOUGH TO ALLOW ME TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY. PULLED OFF ONTO AN EMERGENCY AREA JUST PAST THE TOLL BOOTHS AND HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. LUCKILY, I DIDN'T HAVE MY 4 SMALL CHILDREN WITH ME LIKE I USUALLY DO. NOW THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COMPANY IS TRYING TO DENY MY CLAIM FOR REPAIRS SAYING THAT THE RUST WAS THE CAUSE. I HAD THE VEHICLE LOOKED AT BY A CERTIFIED AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIDN'T NOTICE THE RUST AND I ALSO HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED IN JULY PER MA LAW FOR SAFETY AND EMISSIONS AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF RUST EVEN THOUGH THEY DO A PRETTY THOROUGH INSPECTION YET I, THE CONSUMER, AM AT FAULT WHEN MY WHEEL RIPS APART FROM THE HUB WHILE TRAVELING 70 MPH?!? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A HUGE PROBLEM. PEOPLE IN THE NORTHEAST DRIVE SUVS -AND COME INTO CONTACT WITH SALT EVERY WINTER. ISN'T THAT THE POINT OF HAVING AN SUV?!?. NEVER AGAIN WILL I BUY A GM AND I WILL BE SURE TO TELL ANYONE AND EVERYONE I KNOW TO AVOID THEM AS WELL. SHAME ON GM FOR PUTTING CONSUMERS IN POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATIONS BECAUSE OF THE OBVIOUS USE OF INFERIOR MATERIALS. I HOPE THE NHTSA TAKES A REALLY CLOSE LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM AND FORCE GM TO ADDRESS IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD DEVELOPED TWO CRACKS. ONE WAS NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER WAS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000. MA 10/25/15

ON JULY 7TH 2015, I WENT TO MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, SUBSEQUENTLY THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACKED. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HAZARDOUS SITUATION BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG RELEASE SMALL PIECES OF THE CHEAP PLASTIC USED IN THE DASH WOULD BE PROPELLED FORTH CAUSING INJURY. I NOTIFIED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS QUOTED $1365 FOR A REPLACEMENT DASH WITH GM OFFERING A 50/50 SPLIT ON THE COST. IF YOU'RE OFFERING TO PAY PART OF THE COST IT'S BECAUSE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT THE REPLACEMENT DASHES ARE CRACKING ALSO. POOR QUALITY COMPONENTS MAKE A POOR QUALITY PRODUCT! MY 2008 SUBURBAN IS GARAGE KEPT WITH 58,600 MILES ON IT. I ONLY USE IT FOR VACATIONS.

OWN A 2008 SUBURBAN AND HAD EXACT PROBLEM FIVE (5) TIMES AND PAID TO REPAIR (5) TIMES. WE HAVE CALLED GM CONSISTENTLY RELATIVE TO PROBLEM AND WILL NOT ADMIT ISSUE. WE HAVE LEARNED OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES WITH STABILLITRAK SENSORS. THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DROPS SPEED TO 20 MILES AN HOUR DURING DRIVING. MY UNDERSTANDING, THE VEHICLE RECEIVES SENOR READING RELATIVE TO STERRING AND STABILITY (POTENTIAL FOR VEHICLE TO SPIN OUT OF CONTROL). ISSUE IS THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY DROPS SPEED WHICH CAN CAUSE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE "REAR-END" ACCIDENTS. I CALLED YOUR HOTLINE "WITHOUT RETURN CALLS"!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL CAP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EVAC SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT TAKE OWNERSHIP THAT THIS IS A A MAJOR DEFECT IN MANUFACTURING. THESE DASHBOARDS CRACKING AND NOW THE SAFETY COVER FOR MY AIR BAG IS POPPING UP. I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIRBAG WILL FALSELY DEPLOY. I HAVE FOUR KIDS THAT TAKE TURNS IN THE FRONT SEAT WERE THIS CAN BE A BIG ISSUE. NOT ONLY THAT, IF WE DO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THE DASHBOARD FRAGMENTS CAN BREAK OFF AND IMPALE SOMEONE. THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BEFORE INJURIES OCCUR. I HAVE PICTURES IF U WOULD LIKE TO SEE THEM. I EVEN HAVE A BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTEE AND THEY ARE STILL NOT FIXING THE ISSUE.

MY 2008 CHEVY SUBURBAN WITH 94,000 MILES STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. I LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO COAST IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND AFTER LETTING IT SIT FOR A SHORT TIME IT DID RESTART AGAIN BUT ONLY TO STALL AGAIN AFTER THE CAR RAN FOR ANOTHER 5 MINUTES AGAIN TRAVELING AT ABOUT 20 MPH. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR HAS FAILED. WHILE MY VIN AND YEAR IS NOT COVERED, THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL ON THIS CONDITION (GM RECALL NO. 06083.). THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE TO HAVE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO OTHER YEARS WHO EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE FOR THE SAFETY OF FAMILIES. *TR

CHROME PLATING ON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES PEELED OFF FROM THE PLASTIC BASE MATERIAL AND CAUSED FINGER INJURY . *TR

DRIVERS DOOR HAS HAD TROUBLE CLOSING. HINGE WAS STIFF AND CREAKED LOUDLY. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS JUST TOLD NEEDED GREASED. SO WE CONTINUED TO GREASE WHEN NECESSARY AT HOME. KEPT GREASING THE HINGE. FINALLY THE DOOR WOULD NOT SHUT AT ALL AROUND 90,000 PLUS MILES WHEN FIRST NOTICED THE DOOR ISSUE. HAD TO HAVE SOMEONE COME AND HELP CLOSE THE DOOR. THE DOOR TURNED OUT TO BE DEFECTIVE METAL AND NEAR THE HINGE THE METAL HAS TORN ACROSS AND THUS LOWERED THE DOOR TO WHERE IT DOES NOT CLOSE PROPERLY. A SMALL WELD WAS DONE TO HOLD WHILE I PURSUED HELP THROUGH CHEVY TO NO AVAIL AS BY THEN WE WERE OVER 100,000 AND TOLD TOO LATE. I EVEN HAD THE BODY MANAGER TELL THEM NO RUST AROUND HINGE, DEFECTIVE METAL. NOW THE PASSENGER DOOR HAS SAME ISSUE. WINDOWS ARE STARTING TO HAVE TROUBLE CLOSING SINCE DOOR OFF LINE.

THE WHEEL BEARINGS ON THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL BECAME UNSEALED. WE WERE DRIVING ON A FOUR-LANE HIGHWAY. THE ANTILOCK BREAKING AND STABILITRACK WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. WE DID NOT KNOW WHY. WE CONTINUED TO DRIVE HOME ON THE INTERSTATE WITH ABOUT 100 MILES TO GO. THE CAR STEERING BECAME INTERMITTENTLY DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. EVENTUALLY WE STOPPED WHEN THE CAR WAS PULLING DRASTICALLY TO THE RIGHT AND THE WHEEL WELL WAS SMOKING. AT THIS POINT THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL WAS POINTED TOWARD A RIGHT TURN WHILE THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL WAS POINTED DIRECTLY FORWARD. WE HAD TO BE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. AFTER NEW BEARINGS WERE INSTALLED, CALIPERS REPLACED, ETC., THE MAINTENANCE PERSON AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THERE WAS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE SAME THING WOULD HAPPEN TO THE OTHER FRONT WHEEL. NEVERTHELESS, THE SAME THING DID HAPPEN TO THE LEFT FRONT WHEEL SIX MONTHS LATER 800 MILES FROM HOME EXCEPT THE SEALED BEARINGS MADE A "CLUNK" SOUND WHEN IT HAPPENED AS WE BACKED OUT OF A PARKING LOT. WE INVESTIGATED THE LOCATION OF CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND DROVE THE CAR TO A DEALERSHIP ABOUT 30 MILES AWAY WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR

COMPLAINT TO DOCUMENT A SAFETY ISSUE ON A 2008 CHEVY SUBURBAN. SHARP EDGES ON INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES TO THE HANDS OF PASSENGERS. THE CHROME FINISH IS DELAMINATING FROM THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CAUSING SHARP KNIFE LIKE EDGES AS NOTED ON SEVERAL 2007 GM MODELS IN DEFECT INVESTIGATION REPORT EA10004. MY 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN THE PREVIOUS INVESTIGATION. SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE BEEN INJURED BY THE SHARP EDGES ON THE DOOR HANDLES IN MY 2008 SUBURBAN WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE INSIDE. THE SHARP EDGES HAVE CAUSED DEEP CUTS TO THE HANDS OF MY WIFE, AND HER MOTHER, AS WELL AS MINOR CUTS TO OTHERS. THERE IS A VERY SERIOUS POTENTIAL FOR INFECTION AND TRANSMISSION OF DISEASE BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF BLEEDING FROM THESE INJURIES. DOORS HANDLES INHERENTLY CARRY GERMS, AND BECAUSE THE INJURIES ARE CAUSED BY THESE DOOR HANDLES, THE RISK IS CONSIDERABLY HIGHER. BASED ON THE RESEARCH I HAVE PERFORMED ON THE SUBJECT, THIS IS A MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAN PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED, AND IS NOT ISOLATED TO 2007 MODELS ALONE. I HAVE FILE A COMPLAINT THE GM CUSTOMER SERVICE IN AN ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE MATTER. IF GM IS UNWILLING TO REPLACE THESE DEFECTIVE DANGEROUS HANDLES, THEN I WILL REPLACE THE HANDLES TO PREVENT FURTHER INJURIES AT MY OWN EXPENSE. *TR

DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK AT AROUND 50000 MILES. CONTACTED THE DEALER. QUOTED $1400. CONTACTED GM. WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO PAY $400 OUT OF POCKET AS A DEDUCTIBLE. I COULDN'T AFFORD IT AT THE TIME SO I HAD TO PASS. BUT I FEEL I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR A FACTORY DEFECT THAT GM CONTINUES TO IGNORE. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN AFFECTED. THIS IS UNSAFE. THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WHICH COULD CAUSE SHARDS OF PLASTIC TO AFFECT THE FRONT AND DRIVER UPON THE AIRBAG BEING DEPLOYED. *TR

DASHBOARD HAS SEVERE CRACKS IN MULTIPLE PLACES.

CRACKED DASH, RAZOR-SHARP DOOR HANDLES AND IT CUTS OUT AND SHAKES DUE TO THE STABILITRAK. *TR

TORT CONVERTER ON TRANSMISSION WAS SHOT...HAD TO REPLACE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION AT 135,000 MILES. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS USED AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF OIL. MUST ADD AT LEAST ONE QUART BETWEEN EACH 3500 MILE OIL CHANGES. NO LEAKS HAVE BEEN DETECTED AND NOTHING SEEMS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN MAY 2013 WITH 76,000 MILES AS A CERTIFIED USED VEHICLE FROM A GM DEALERSHIP IN NJ. I NOTICED ON TEST DRIVE BRAKE VIBRATION FROM THE FRONT. BEFORE I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THEY REPLACED NEW ROTORS AND CERAMIC BRAKE PADS. NOW AT 17,000 MILES LATER THERE IS VIBRATION AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN THE ROTORS ARE WARPED BUT THE PADS ARE PERFECTLY FINE. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME AND I QUOTE "IT MUST HAVE BEEN A HOT DAY AND YOU TOOK THE CAR THROUGH A CAR WASH WARPING THE ROTORS." IF GM IS MAKING THEIR ROTORS WITH NON-VIRGIN STEEL THIS CAN HAPPEN. I HAVE PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 2005 SUBURBAN WITH 100,000 MILES, THE ROTORS NEVER WARPED AND I ONLY NEEDED THEM CHANGED ONCE AT 55,000 MILES, I HAVE A LIGHT FOOT. IN 2010 I CHANGED MY 2005 SUBURBAN FOR A 2009 BUICK ENCLAVE THIS CAR WAS THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED IN THE 3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP THAT I NEEDED ROTORS TWICE, IN 3 YEARS I HAD ONLY PUT 30,000 MILES ON THE CAR, SO THAT LEAD TO THE PURCHASE OF THE 2008 SUBURBAN. I CAN'T HELP BUT BELIEVE THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG IN THE MAKING OF THEIR ROTORS, THEY CHANGED MANUFACTURER MAYBE?? WITH THIS 2008 SUBURBAN I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THEM WITH NO ANSWER OR REPLY TO THE FACT WHEN MY 12 YEAR OLD SON WHO WEIGHS 108LBS SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON ONE MINUTE AND THEN OFF THE NEXT MINUTE. SOMETIME I CAN PUT MY PURSE AND A GALLON OF MILK ON THE PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON WILL DISPLAY. YET MY 108 LB CHILD OR MY 86 LB CHILD THE AIR BAG LIGHT WILL GO FROM ON TO OFF. SO THEY ARE MY TWO SAFETY CONCERNS, THE ROTORS WARPING REPEATEDLY AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT NOT WORKING PROPERLY WHICH GM HAS REFUSED TO COMMENT ON. THANK YOU. UPDATED 1/16/15 *JS

I WAS DRIVING ON 7TH AVE AND A CAR RAN A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION. IT WAS DARK EARLY MORNING. I HIT THE CAR COMING ACROSS AND DROVE IT INTO A TREE.THE DRIVER IN THE CAMRY HAD TO BE CUT OUT OF HER CAR . MY CAR HAD THE FRONT END SEVERELY DAMAGED. ALMOST $10,000 DAMAGE TO MY CAR. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT ACTIVATE. I ASKED THE BODY SHOP DOING THE WORK AND THE STATE FARM INSURANCE CLAIMS PERSON ABOUT WHY THEY DID NOT WORK AND WAS TOLD THE ACCIDENT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN SEVERE ENOUGH OR THE ANGLE WE HIT DID NOT REQUIRE THEM TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER IN THE OTHER CAR WENT TO THE HOSPITAL. AND I HAD KNEE SURGERY. I DO NOT KNOW THE STATUS OF HER INJURIES. I WONDER WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AT SUCH A COLLISION AND IF THERE ARE OTHER SUBURBANS OUT THERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM THE OWNER JUST DOESN'T KNOW OR WON'T KNOW TIL A COLLISION. *TR

2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE DISAPPOINTMENT IN THE MANUFACTURER DUE TO NUMEROUS VEHICLE REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WOULD RUN ROUGH, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE SERVICE STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WHEN SOME OF THE CYLINDERS SHUT DOWN, THE LIFTERS WERE NOT PROPERLY LUBRICATED, CAUSING THEM TO FAIL. THE ENGINE CONSUMED LARGE AMOUNTS OF OIL. THERE WERE NOISES COMING FROM THE OIL PAN AND TRANSMISSION AREA, 3 OF THE 4 DOOR LOCKS ACTUATORS WERE REPLACED, THE REAR LIFTGATE BROKE FOR THE 4TH TIME, THE RIGHT RETRACTABLE MIRROR WAS INOPERABLE, THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKED ABOUT 505 OF THE TIME, WHICH WAS PROBABLY TIED THE THROTTLE POSITIONING SENSOR GOING BAD AS WELL. ALSO, THE VEHICLE HAD SIGNIFICANT ELECTRICAL PROBLEM, WHERE CERTAIN LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE DASHBOARD, THERE WAS AN AUDIBLE CLICKING NOISE, THAT SOUNDED LIKE A RELAY FIRING VERY QUICKLY. *JB

I CUT MY FINGER ON THE INTERIOR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR HANDLE WHEN EXITING MY VEHICLE LAST WEEKEND. THE METAL LIFTED, MAKING AN EXTREMELY SHARP EDGE. I EMAILED CHEVROLET ON SATURDAY IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON, BUT HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM YET. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP! *TR

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD ALONG THE SIDE OF THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. *TR

DOOR HANDLES ARE ALL COMING OFF ON EXTERIOR OF VEHICLE ON BOTH OF THE FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS. *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN REAR DOOR, IT WOULD NOT OPEN, DUE TO DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY GOING BAD. ONLY KNOWING THIS IS A PROBLEM AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH. NOW I DO NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH NOT BEING ABLE TO OPEN DOOR AT ALL, THE MANUAL SWITCH STILL WORKS, BUT I SYMPATHY FOR THEM THAT DON`T. I CAN JUST IMAGINE IF I HAD TO GET A CHILD OR A HANDICAPPED ADULT FROM THE BACK SEAT IN A HURRY AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN FOR ME TO DO SO. I HAVE READ ON SOME OTHER SITES THAT GM IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, AND KNOW THE PART IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE ALSO RESEARCHED ENOUGH TO KNOW THERE IS A NEW PART NUMBER FOR THE OEM PART. SO IF THEY KNOW IT IS JUNK, MAKE IT RIGHT. A HUMANS LIFE OVER A HAND FULL OF MONEY. NOT TOUGH FOR SOMEONE WITH FEELINGS TO MAKE. I HOPE THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION FINDS A WAY TO MAKE THEM TO REPAIR,REPLACE, AND IF SOMEONE HAS PAID TO FIX THEIR PROBLEM, BEFORE IT WAS RECALLED, REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

DASH CRACKED AT AIRBAG ON DASH AND ALSO ABOVE DASH CLUSTER. *TR

REAR WINDOW SPONTANEOUSLY SHATTERED WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. REAR DEFROSTERS WERE NOT ON AT THIS TIME BUT HAD BEEN ON EARLIER THAT MORNING, OUTSIDE TEMP WAS 32 DEGREES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO SHATTERED GLASS WAS SENT INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHERE CHILDREN SIT. *TR

MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE INTERIOR SILVER COATED DOOR HANDLES IN MY 2008 SUBURBAN. THE COATING HAS SPLINTERED AND IS CUTTING OUR HANDS. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE IN THE 2007 AND 2008 MODEL, WHEN I LOOK IT UP ONLINE. I'M WONDERING WHY A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED FOR SOMETHING THAT IS DANGEROUS TO ME AND MY CHILDREN? IT IS A PRODUCT THAT WAS MADE POORLY AND THEY ARE HAPPY TO CHARGE ME $200 PER DOOR TO FIX IT! IF USE BROKE A MECHANISM IN THE DOOR HANDLE THEN FINE, BUT I'VE NEVER HAD A METAL DOOR HANDLE PEEL BEFORE! I ALSO HAVE A CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD THAT IS NEAR TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, IT IS SLOWLY GROWING. I HAVE A FEELING IF IT WASN'T GARAGE KEPT THAT IT WOULD BE A LOT LARGER THAN IT HAS BECOME. *TR

MY 2008 SUBURBAN STARTED BURNING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF OIL. SEEMS LIKE I WAS CONTINUOUSLY ADDING OIL. RAISED THE ISSUE WITH THE DEALER, WHO INDICATED IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM BUT PROBABLY NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE OF FIXING IF I COULD KEEP CHECKING THE OIL. THIS ADVICE WAS ALSO BASED ON THE FACT THAT ALL MY MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THIS DEALER, SO THEY KNOW THE VEHICLE WELL. THE LAST WEEK IN JANUARY WAS VERY BUSY AND SAW ME DRIVING ABOUT 100 MILES A DAY. ON THURSDAY, ABOUT 30 MILES FROM HOME, THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS STARTING BLINKING, THE CAR LOST POWER, AND THE ENGINE BEGAN RUNNING ROUGH. THIS WAS ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY (U.S. ROUTE 50 NEAR ANNAPOLIS) DURING RUSH HOUR. THIS CREATED A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I WAS EVENTUALLY ABLE TO GET THE CAR HOME. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THE OIL WAS DRY (I HAD CHECKED IT THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND), A LIFTER HAD BROKEN, AND A PISTON HEAD WAS SCORED. THE COST OF WORK TO FIX WOULD EXCEED THE COST OF A NEW ENGINE. I NOW HAVE A NEW ENGINE, THE COST OF WHICH WAS NOT IN MY BUDGET. THIS EXPERIENCE REFLECTS WHAT HAS BEEN HAVE REPORTED FREQUENTLY ON AUTOMOBILE RELATED WEB SITES.. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW, CHEVROLET SHOULD BE COVERING AT LEAST PART OF THIS FIX. *TR

BRITAX FASTBACK CAR SEAT PUSH BUTTON LATCH STUCK. COULDN'T RELEASE EVEN WITH TWO PEOPLE TRYING TO PUSH THE RED BUTTON. FINALLY HAD TO GET SCISSORS TO CUT THE STRAP TO REMOVE THE CHILD (RELATED VEHICLE INFORMATION: MODEL YEAR=2008, MAKE=SUBURBAN, MODEL=CHEVY). *TR

THERE IS A CRACK ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD THAT HAS BECOME PROGRESSIVELY LARGER. RECENTLY A SECOND CRACK APPEARED RIGHT OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS MAY INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH 2007 AND 2008 CHEVY WITH SAME DASHBOARD (TAHOE, SUBURBAN, ET AL.) MODELS. *TR

ALL 4 AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKING ACTUATORS DO NOT WORK. THE ACTUATORS DO NOT WORK WHEN THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON IS PRESSED ON THE REMOTE. LOCKS DO NOT ACTUATE WHEN THE CAR IS PUT INTO PARK OR WHEN THE SPEED IS ATTAINED THAT IS SET IN THE SYSTEM SETTINGS. THE ONLY WAY TO LOCK/UNLOCK THE DOORS IS TO MANUALLY PUSH OR PULL THE DOOR LOCK. YOU CAN ALSO UNLOCK THE DRIVERS SIDE LOCK BY USING THE KEY. THIS IS UNSAFE. *TR

LAST YEAR 2012, THE SUBURBAN WAS BLOWING SMOKE OUT TAILPIPE, LESS THAN 100K MILES, SO DEALERSHIP INSTALLED NEW VALVE COVER WITH PROPER GROMMIT FOR PCV UNDER WARRANTY. SEPT. 2013 115K MILES, ENGINE BUCKING, DASH LIGHTS ALL ON, RUNNING ON 7 CYLINDERS, CHEVY DEALERSHIP STATES #1 SPARK PLUG "CAME OUT". AND THAT OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS BAD, BUT STILL PRESSURE, SO NOT URGENT....NOV 19, 2013 - TRUCK NOW MAKING 'BACK FIRE' NOISES AND PRESSURE SENSOR MOVING BACK AND FORTH ACROSS 40....AFRAID WILL BREAK DOWN AGAIN. ALSO, HAVE PEELING CHROME ON INSIDE DOOR HANDLES LIKE PRIOR COMPLAINT, THAT IS CUTTING HANDS/FINGERS! *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT, DOOR LOCKS, TRACTION CONTROL, RADIO, AND MANY OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS FLICKER ON AND OFF. ENGINE VIBRATES AND THEN DIES. WILL NOT START BACK UP UNTIL SOME PERIOD OF TIME GOES BY. ALWAYS DIFF AND HAPPENS IN ALL TEMPS AND DRIVING CONDITIONS. WHEN IN GARAGE ALL NIGHT WILL NOT START IN THE AM. VERY INTERMITTENT. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED WITH KIDS 5 TIMES AND HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS. *TR

OUR 2008 SUBURBAN DASH HAS STARTING CRACKING UPON FURTHER REVIEW EXACTLY WHERE MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE ISSUES. MY CONCERN IS THAT ONE AREA IS AROUND THE AIR BAGS AND AS IT CONTINUES TO DETERIORATE THERE MAY BE ISSUES WITH SAFETY DEVICE. BASED ON WHAT I HAVE SEEN ACROSS WEB IS THAT IT IS A MALFUNCTION OF THE PRODUCT. *TR

DOOR HANDLE FAILURE THREE TIMES, WAITING FOR FOURTH TO FAIL AT ANYTIME. GM COMPLAINT DEPT REFUSES TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY. THREE DOOR LOCKS FAILED BY 39,000 MILES, LAST ONE BEING RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR. WE HAVE A 1978 CHEVY PU AND THE DOOR LOCKS NEVER FAILED! THIS IS ABSURD, A $55,000 TOP OF THE LINE LTZ MODEL SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AND GM WON'T ACKNOWLEDGE POOR QUALITY PARTS AND WORKMANSHIP! WHAT CAN A CONSUMER DO TO RECTIFY THIS SITUATION?. *JB

REAR HATCH DOOR ACTUATOR WENT OUT. THE DOOR IS IN THE LOCKED POSITION AND CANNOT BE OPENED WITH CONSOLE BUTTON, KEY FOB OR EXTERIOR HANDLE. THERE IS NO WAY TO OPEN THE REAR HATCH FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD FOR PASSENGERS RIDING IN THE 3RD SEAT. THE REAR HATCH IS NOT ACCESSIBLE FOR USE SINCE I IS IN A LOCKED POSITION AND CANNOT BE OPENED. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH GM. THEIR CS REPRESENTATIVE CONTACTED ME TO LET ME KNOW THAT MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP CAN FIX THE PROBLEM AT MY EXPENSE. TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH GM OVER THE LAST 2 YRS. AND THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL FOR THIS POTENTIALLY FATAL SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 SUBURBAN LTZ IN JULY 2011. SHORTLY AFTER WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE 3 OF THE DOORS LOCKS HAVE STOPPED FUNCTIONING COMPLETELY, THE 4TH DOOR WORKS SPORADICALLY (DRIVER SIDE, PASSENGER). THE LOCKS DO NOT WORK AT ALL WITH THE KEYLESS ENTRY NOR THE MAIN LOCK BUTTON FROM THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE LOCK ACTUATORS MALFUNCTIONING AND THAT IT IS ALSO A WELL KNOWN ISSUE FROM VARIOUS DEALERS AND PER MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET. IN ORDER TO UNLOCK THE DOORS, I MUST MANUALLY USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR THEN UNLOCK ALL THE OTHER DOORS BY HAND ONE BY ONE. THEN WE MUST LOCK ALL DOORS MANUALLY AFTER ENTERING BECAUSE THE LOCKS ALSO DO NOT LOCK AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU TAKE THE CAR OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. ALTHOUGH THE POWER LOCKS ARE A LUXURY, THIS ALSO BECOMES A SAFETY ISSUE. A VEHICLE WITH AN ORIGINAL ASKING PRICE OF OVER $55,000 SHOULD NEVER HAVE THIS ISSUE AND I'M NOT SURE WHY CHEVROLET FAILS TO TAKE ACTION FOR A CLEAR SAFETY DANGER. AS A MOTHER OF 3 CHILDREN I FIND THIS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. A CHILD COULD EASILY OPEN THE DOOR AND FALL OUT OF THE MOVING VEHICLE OR IF WE WERE INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT ANY ONE OF MY FAMILY MEMBERS (ADULT OR CHILD) COULD POTENTIALLY BE EJECTED FROM THE VEHICLE, CAUSING EITHER SERIOUS INJURY OR WORSE!! I REALIZE THE CHILD SAFETY LOCKS CAN BE ACTIVATED TO KEEP A CHILD FROM OPENING THE DOOR ACCIDENTALLY, BUT THAT WILL NOT PREVENT A CARJACKER OR ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER FROM JUMPING IN AND STEALING THE CAR OR KIDNAPPING A CHILD. IN MY OPINION, THEIR DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ISSUED FOR THIS MAJOR LOCKING MALFUNCTION BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE AND HUNDREDS OF OTHERS I HAVE RESEARCHED. *TR

BOTH DRIVER SIDE AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE CHROME PLATING ON DOOR HANDLES PEELING OFF. MY FINGER HAS BEEN CUT MULTIPLE TIMES BY THE PEELING "CHROME". THE CUT IS SIMILAR TO SEVERE PAPER CUT. MY HUSBAND HAS ALSO CUT FINGERS ON THE DOOR HANDLES. I HAVE TWO VERY SMALL CHILDREN AND WORRY ABOUT THEM CUTTING THEIR FINGERS ON IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STARTED THE IGNITION AND A TAPPING SOUND EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE RECURRED AS THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE CAM SHAFT LIFTERS WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS SCHEDUELD FOR REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

WIPERS STOPPED WORKING. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2008 CHEVY SUBURBAN LTZ ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2011. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I BEGAN TO NOTICE THAT THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE SEEMS TO BEHAVE ERRATICALLY, I LATER LEARNED THE CAR BURNED OIL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN JANUARY OF 2013 COMPLAINING OF OIL STAINS ON MY DRIVEWAY AND THAT I HAD PLACED TWO QUARTS OF OIL IN MY CAR WITHIN ONE WEEK. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED TO ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE ABOUT $4,000-$5,000 OF REPAIRS DONE TO REBUILD MY ENGINE. THEY ALSO EXPLAINED THAT THIS WAS A WARRANTY ITEM AND THAT GM WOULD COVER IT. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT GM TOLD THEM THAT I HAD TO GO THROUGH AN "OIL CONSUMPTION TEST" WHICH I DID, THEY PERFORMED AN OIL CHANGE ON JANUARY 31, 2013. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE ON FEBRUARY 19, 2013 AND THE DEALER NOTES THAT IT HAS BURNED .75 (3/4) OF A QUART OF OIL. WHEN I ASKED IF GM WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY SAID NO, THAT ANOTHER TEST WAS NEEDED. I'VE NEVER PURCHASED OR OWNED A CAR WHERE BURNING OIL IS ACCEPTABLE. I BRIEF GOOGLE SEARCH OF "SUBURBAN OIL CONSUMPTION ISSUES" RESULTS IN APPROXIMATELY 2.8 MILLION RESULTS AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PAGES DISCUSSING THIS APPARENT COMMON PROBLEM. I CALLED GM ON FEBRUARY 19, 2013 AND WAS ONLY ABLE TO SPEAK WITH [XXX] AND A SUPERVISOR IN THE PHILIPPINES WHO ASSIGNED ME A CASE NUMBER I BELIEVE THIS IS A LARGE PROBLEM AND WANT A RECALL AND FIX. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*TR

2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 5.3L AFM OIL CONSUMPTION --> EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH GM SERVICE GIVEN ME THE RUNAROUND REGARDING A POOR ENGINE DESIGN WHICH LEADS TO BAD RINGS AND HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION. BAD RINGS CAN BE VERIFIED BY DOING A COMPRESSION CHECK ON THE CYLINDER, AS OPPOSED TO CHECKING HOW MUCH OIL IS BEING USED PER MILEAGE. EXCESSIVE USAGE IS DEFINE 0.5 QUARTS PER 500 MILES. LAST THREE OIL CHANGES, I HAVE USE 6 QUARTS IN 3000 MILES. MY VEHICLE IS UNDER WARRANTY, AND THEY ARE TRYING TO DELAY THE PROBLEM UNTIL IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THERE IS NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS ONLINE. THEY SHOULD REPLACE THE PISTONS AND RINGS AND AFM LIFTERS AND ADD THE NEW OIL BAFFLE. *TR

FAILURE OF POWER ASSISTED DOOR LOCKS. DOORS WILL NOT OPEN WITH POWER SWITCH. SOLENOID HAS BURNT OUT. GM HAS RECOGNIZED PROBLEM WITH FAULTY PARTS MANUFACTURED IN CHINA. REPLACED FIRST SOLENOID THAT WAS CLOSE TO BEING UNDER WARRANTY. THE THREE OTHER UNITS THAT HAVE NOW FAILED WILL COST $90.00 EACH TO REPLACE. THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED WITH THE NTSB AND GM BUT THE REFUSE TO DO A MANUFACTURERS RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS WOULD UNLOCK INDEPENDENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED HER THAT THE FAILURE MAY BE DUE TO THE LOCK ACTUATORS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 87,000.

CRACKS ON DASHBOARD NEXT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE LEFT SIDE RUNNING ACROSS THE HUMP. ALWAYS KEPT IN COVERED GARAGE AND MAINTAINED AS PER MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED CLEANING PROCEDURES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATING WITH REDUCED POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY REPLACED THE ENGINE SEALS, CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE THROTTLE BODY. THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED AND PERSISTED. THE DEALER THEN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE ENGINE WAS NOT REPLACED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 147,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR HATCH LOCK WAS NOT OPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH A MANUAL RELEASE BUTTON. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO EXIT THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY OR FIRE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE.

DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAIL CAUSING DOORS TO REMAIN LOCKED AND INOPERABLE. SEVERAL ACCOUNTS ON THE INTERNET CLAIM MULTIPLE FAILURES AT THE SAME TIME AND OR REPLACED ACTUATORS FAILING A SECOND TIME. VEHICLE CAN NOT BE ENTERED OR EXITED EASILY IN AN EMERGENCY CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

LEFT AND RIGHT REAR EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BROKEN/INOPERABLE. THOSE WERE REMOVED AND REPLACED AT DEALERSHIP, BUT AT HALF PRICE (PARTS AND LABOR) SINCE I HAD GONE OVER THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. SINCE THAT TIME, I HAVE HAD ALL FOUR MOUNTS ON EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES BREAK MAKING IT NECESSARY TO OPEN THE DOORS VERY CAREFULLY SO THAT THE HANDLES DO NOT BREAK OFF COMPLETELY SO I CAN OPEN THE DOORS. ALSO I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE ACTUATORS ON THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND THE LEFT REAR DOOR. NOW THE LOCKS ON ALL FOUR DOORS WORK ONLY INTERMITTENTLY, BOTH BY REMOTE CONTROL AND BY MANUALLY USING THE MASTER ELECTRIC LOCKS ON FRONT DOORS. I BELIEVE THE PROBLEMS WITH THE LOCKS AND HANDLES COULD SOMEDAY CAUSE A PERSON'S DEATH, SHOULD THEY EVER NEED TO EXIT OR ENTER DURING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS (JUST USE YOUR IMAGINATION). GM SHOULD RECALL AND ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS IMMEDIATELY AS THIS HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR YEARS NOW! *TR

REAR HATCH FAILURE. ELECTRIC OPENING. OPENED 24 INCHES AND THEN CLOSED UNDER MOTOR POWER. CAUGHT DOG IN THE DOOR THOUGH NO SERIOUS HARM DONE. HOWEVER IT DID NOT REVERSE AS IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN IT COMES DOWN ON AN OBJECT LIKE A CHILD OR DOG. DEALER REPLACED STRUTS WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS FLAW. IT WAS JUST LUCKY IT ONLY CAUGHT THE DOG'S TAIL. IF IT HAD CAUGHT HER HEAD, SHE WOULD BE DEAD. *JS

CHEVROLET CAN'T FIX THE PROBLEM AND KEEPS TRYING TO BLAME IT ON AN AFTER-MARKET DVD PLAYER WE HAD PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED. THE DVD PLAYER WAS DISCONNECTED AND SUSPECTED WIRES REPAIRED BY CHEVROLET BUT THE PROBLEM KEEPS HAPPENING. THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING VERY SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE NY TIMES PUBLISHED AN ARTICLE SUMMER OF 2010 THAT YOU SHOULD READ ABOUT THIS YEAR GROUP ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PROBLEMS AND YOU, NHTSA, ARE UNDER FIRE IN IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR FAILED TO GIVE A CLEAR VIEW OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 87,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 WITH BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA TIRES, SIZE 275/55R20, DOT NUMBER: X2AEH56407. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 45 MPH WHEN THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE SLOWLY DEFLATED, CAUSING THE THREAD TO SEPARATE FROM THE TIRE. THE VEHICLE THEN ROLLED OFF THE ROAD AND FLIPPED OVER TWICE, CAUSING EXTENSIVE DAMAGES TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS KNOCKED UNCONSCIOUS AND WAS TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL. THE POLICE WAS CALLED WHO ADVISED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE TIRE WAS THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE POLICE TO AN IMPOUND LOT. THE INSURANCE COMPANY WAS NOTIFIED OF THE CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED WHO ASKED THE CONTACT TO RETURN THE TIRES BUT THE CONTACT REFUSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE OF THE TIRE AND THE VEHICLE WAS 48,000.

AFTER DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 3 HOURS THE PROBLEM BEGAN: THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLE REPEATEDLY, THE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE FLASHES, THE DRIVE POSITION FLASHES FROM PARK TO DRIVE REPEATEDLY, THE RADIO STOPS WORKING, THE VEHICLE SURGES, AND THE STABILITRAC SAYS IT NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. THIS IS THE SECOND REPORT WE HAVE FILED IN A MONTH. WE HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE FOR THIS PROBLEM IN EARLY AUGUST WHEN IT WAS JUST THE RADIO MALFUNCTIONING. THEY SAID TO REPLACE THE RADIO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED BY NHTSA ITEM NUMBER 10036550 AND SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER PIT-4730A. GM SAYS THAT BECAUSE OUR VEHICLE IS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY THAT THEY WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. *TR

I AM A MILITARY HELICOPTER TEST PILOT AND FAA LICENSED AIRCRAFT MECHANIC. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW IN 2008 AND IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND CARED FOR. WE HAD TO REPLACE A DEAD BATTERY IN JULY 2011 AND FOLLOWING THAT THE RADIO STOPPED KEEPING TIME WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTED OUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. THE DOOR LOCKS CYCLED REPEATEDLY AND THE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE FLASHED IN UNISON. ALSO FOLLOWING EACH EVENT THE RADIO CLOCK TIME AND DATE HAD RESET. IT HAS DONE THIS ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE LATE JULY. AS A PRECAUTION THE BATTERY CONNECTIONS WERE RECHECKED AND FOUND PROPERLY SECURED, ALTHOUGH THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME THE PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED IT HAS HAPPENED QUICKLY BUT THE ENGINE MOMENTARILY EXHIBITED REDUCED POWER WHEN IT HAPPENED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ALL THE ELECTRONIC DOOR LOCKS WOULD UNLOCK AND LOCK INVOLUNTARILY. IN ORDER TO PROPERLY USE THE DOOR LOCKS, THEY HAD TO BE OPERATED MANUALLY. THE FAILURE ALSO OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTICS, WHERE THE TECHNICIANS STATED THAT THE LOCK MECHANISM FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF THE REPAIRS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THE AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS DO NOT WORK ON MY 08 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN.

TO LOCK THE DOORS YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS. *TT

I OWN A 2008 CHEVY SUBURBAN AND TWO OF OUR OUTER DOOR HANDLES CAME OFF UNDER WARRANTY AND THE THIRD RIGHT AFTER NOW THE FOURTH HAS COME LOOSE. JUDGING BY MANY FORUMS FOUND ON GOOGLE THIS IS A FREQUENT PROBLEM. I FIND THIS ALSO TO BE SIGNIFICANT SAFETY PROBLEM SINCE I HAVE LITTLE CHILDREN WHO CANNOT GET OUT THE CAR BY THEMSELVES IN THIS PROBLEM HINDERS THE DOOR FORM OPENING FROM THE OUTSIDE IN AN EMERGENCY THIS COULD BECOME A LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT OF THESE CARS. I REALLY HOPE SOMEONE DOES SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

I OWN A 2008 CHEVY SUBURBAN LTZ WITH 37K MILES. THE REAR DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS FAILED AT 36K MILES. THE FAULTY DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS PREVENT LOCKING OR UNLOCKING OF THE DOORS FROM THE DRIVERS SEAT. AS I HAVE SMALL CHILDREN, I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE WITH UNLOCKED DOORS. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE I DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM TO BE WIDESPREAD ON A NUMBER OF CHEVROLET VEHICLES.

I OWN A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. OVER A 6 MONTH PERIOD, THREE (3) OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS HAVE STOPPED WORKING AND WERE REPLACED. NOW THE FOURTH ONE HAS STOPPED WORKING. GENERAL MOTORS HAS DONE NOTHING TO REMEDY THE PROBLEM AFTER MAKING THEM AWARE OF IT. THE FAILURE OF THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS IS CONSTANT. THERE WERE NO EVENTS LEADING TO THE FAILURE OTHER THAN AN INFERIOR PART. THE ONLY WAY TO UNLOCK THE REAR DOORS IS TO CRAWL OVER THE FRONT SEATS INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. IN THE EVENT OF A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT THIS WILL BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FOLLOWING REASONS. 1. THE POWER LOCKS INSIDE THE DOOR AND THE REMOTE FAIL TO UNLOCK DOORS 2. THERE ARE NO KEY HOLES ON THE REAR DOORS TO UNLOCK THEM IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH 3. THIS WILL LEAD TO ENTRAPMENT INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE IF THE DOORS ARE LOCKED IN A CRASH. *TR

WE HAVE A 2008 CHEVY SUBURBAN AND THERE SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS. FIRST THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR LOCK WENT OUT THAT WAS FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. ABOUT A MONTH THE DRIVERS SIDE DOORLOCK STOPPED WORKING. IT APPEARS TO ME THAT IT IS A DEFECT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE REPAIR WOULD REQUIRE A NEW WIRING HARNESS NOW SINCE CHEVY HAD CHANGED THE LOCKING WIRING TO AN NEW DESIGN IN 2009 AND THE 2008 WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. IT APPEARS CHEVY KNOWS THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND DOES NOT WANT TO FESS UP TO IT. THE LOCK NOT WORKING DOES CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THEY ARE AUTOMATIC AND ARE EXPECTED TO WORK FOR THAT SAFETY CONDITION. *TR

ALL DOOR ACUATORS FAULTY. DEALER REPLACED 1 REAR DOOR AT PURCHASE (USED). OVER NEXT 12 MONTHS ALL HAVE FAILED. I HAVE NO WAY TO LOCK OR UNLOCK DOORS EXCEPT MANUALLY .

RECENTLY MY BACK LEFT DOOR LOCK MESSED UP AND I TOOK IT IN AND PAID OUT OF MY POCKET TO HAVE IT FIXED DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CANNOT FIND ANY GM DEALERSHIP IN BELGIUM THAT WILL HONOR A GM WARRANTY DUE TO A FALLOUT WITH CHEVROLET. ONE MONTH AFTER I HAD THE BACK LEFT DOOR LOCK REPLACED OUT OF MY POCKET, THE FRONT LEFT WENT OUT AND WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK. THIS VEHICLE HAS 20,000 MILES ON IT AND IS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY.

HE DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL QUICKLY, THEN LET UP, BUT THE ENGINE RPM CONTINUED TO CLIMB, AS IF THE ACCELERATOR WERE FULLY DEPRESSED. UPON HEARING THE ENGINE CONTINUE TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN, AND FEELING THE VEHICLE SURGE FORWARD, THE CONSUMER APPLIED THE BRAKE WITH FULL FORCE, USING BOTH FEET AND WAS SUCCESSFUL IN BRINGING THE VEHICLE TO STOP; DISTANCE TRAVELED WAS ABOUT 40 FEET FROM THE POINT WHERE THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. ONCE STOPPED, THE CONSUMER PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK, WHERE UPON THE ENGINE ACCELERATED TO THE REV LIMIT. HE IMMEDIATELY TURNED OFF THE ENGINE USING THE IGNITION SWITCH, TO AVOID ENGINE DAMAGE. AFTER A MOMENT, HE RESTARTED THE ENGINE, WHICH RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL FOUR BRAKE ROTORS HAVE ROTTED, WHICH CAUSES THE VEHICLE NOT TO BRAKE PROPERLY. WHENEVER HE ATTEMPTS TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES BEGIN TO PULSATE AND THE VEHICLE FAILS TO STOP COMPLETELY. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON FOUR OCCASIONS. DURING THE FIRST VISIT, THE DEALER STATED THAT THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED, BUT THAT HE NEEDED TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER. THE FAILURE WORSENED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THEY NEEDED THE MANUFACTURER'S APPROVAL TO MAKE REPAIRS. DURING THE THIRD AND FOURTH VISITS, A MECHANIC TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT WAS BRAKING PROPERLY. THE CONTACT IS SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE IMPROPER BRAKING CONDITIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 12,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 18,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC LOCKS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. THE DOORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LOCK WHEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS OUT OF PARK. INSTEAD, THE CONTACT HAS TO MANUALLY LOCK THE DOORS. WHEN THE CHILD SAFETY SEAT IS IN THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE, SHE MUST CLIMB INTO THE BACK SEAT TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND GET HER CHILD. IF THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AND THE DOORS ARE UNLOCKED, THEY COULD POSSIBLY OPEN AND CAUSE THE CHILD TO FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, BUT CURRENTLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOORS ARE NOT LOCKING AND UNLOCKING PROPERLY. THE CONTACT WANTS ALL THE DOORS ON THE VEHICLE REPAIRED, BUT SHE HAS NOT YET HEARD A RESPONSE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,875.

PROBLEM: UNSTABLE & INADEQUATE JACK FOR VEHICLE. I HAD A FLAT ON MY VEHICLE AND USED THE FACTORY JACK. WHILE PULLING THE TIRE OFF THE LUGS THE VEHICLE SHIFTED AND THE JACK FELL OVER. LUCKILY THE TIRE WAS STILL WITHIN THE WHEEL-WELL AND TIRE/RIM BROKE THE FALL. EVEN THOUGH I WAS ON A FLAT LEVEL CONCRETE PARKING LOT, THE STABILITY OF THE JACK IS POOR (VERY SMALL FOOTPRINT AND TOP OF THE RAM IS ALSO SMALL). NOT VERY MUCH FRONT-BACK MOVEMENT CAUSES INSTABILITY FOR THE JACK. IN ADDITION, THE MAXIMUM JACK HEIGHT PROVIDED BARELY ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO PUT A NEW TIRE ON (20? FACTORY TIRES). THIS WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN POSSIBLE ON ANY OTHER SURFACE LIKE THE SHOULDER OF A HIGHWAY. I DO ADMIT THAT I HAD NOT PROPERLY ?CHOCKED? THE TIRES THAT ALLOWED FOR MORE MOVEMENT THAN NORMAL, BUT THE MOVEMENT THAT CAUSED THE FALL WAS NOT EXCESSIVE. I PERSONALLY ROTATE MY TIRES ON ALL FOUR OF MY VEHICLES FREQUENTLY USING A FLOOR JACK AND NEVER HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE FACTORY JACK IS UNSAFE AND UNDERSIZED FOR THIS LARGE VEHICLE (SUBURBAN). A CO-WORKER ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ACCIDENT WITH HIS TAHOE WHILE IN HIS GARAGE. *TR

REAR WIPERS ARE NOT STANDARD EQUIPMENT ON VEHICLES THAT HAVE A NEAR VERTICAL REAR WINDOW, LIKE AN SUV, WHICH GETS SOILED DURING INCLEMENT WEATHER. THAT PRACTICALLY BLOCKS REAR VISIBILITY AND CONTRIBUTES TO REAR ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS, AS WELL AS COLLISIONS WITH OTHER OBJECTS. MOST IF NOT ALL SUV'S CAN HAVE A REAR WIPER INSTALLED AS AN ACCESSORY, SO MAKING IT STANDARD WILL BE VERY EASY FOR THE MANUFACTURERS. IN FEBRUARY THE PRESIDENT SIGNED INTO LAW LEGISLATION ADDRESSING REAR ROLLOVER ACCIDENTS, AND THIS REQUIREMENT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THAT BILL. *TR
