2008 Chevrolet Suburban UNKNOWN OR OTHER

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.

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 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.

DASH BOARD CRACK OVER PASSANGER SIDE OF AUTO

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

DASHBOARD HAS SEVERE CRACKS IN MULTIPLE PLACES.

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 . (KEYFOB REMOTE AND DRIVER DOOR NOT WORKING). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET SHOULD FIXED REGARDLESS OF WARRENTY. PLEASE PURSUE WITH GM/CHEVROLET AS THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE RESPONSE IS TO TAKE TO THE DEALER. $250/DOOR.

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. PLEASE REFERENCE THE FOLLOWING INTERNET FORUM DISCUSSIONS : HTTP://WWW.GM-TRUCKS.COM/FORUMS/INDEX.PHP?SHOWTOPIC=98284&ST=165 HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F206D4B/75#MSG75 I SUGGEST THE NHTSA LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE AND MANDATE A RECALL AND THE INSTALLATION OF A MORE RELIABLE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW I CAN BE OF FURTHER ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER.
