Summary

I purchased my Suburban used in July 2018. In 2019 I realized the pretensioner for the driver's seatbelt doesn't work. I have asked my dealership if they could ask Chevy to pay for this repair, but they said they have to wait for the official recall. In my research, I have learned of other Chevy vehicles (Traverse & Malibu) in 2011 with the same problem. I have not contacted Chevrolet directly with this problem (yet). The flexible steel steel cable that connects the seatbelt to the front outboard seating positions may fatigue and separate over time.

Summary

The dash has broken apart on the top in front of the driver. It constantly vibrates and makes a loud distracting noise. There is no way to stop this noise and it causes the driver to constantly hold the broken part down with their hand taking their attention off the road. Our Chevrolet dealer inspected it and said they've had lots of similar complaints. He also said it would cost us $2,000 to fix the problem.

Summary

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.

Summary

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. PLEASE RESPOND QUICKLY IF I SHOULD NOT. THANK YOU, [XXX] REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC

ENGINE LIGHT ON-DIAGNOSIS P0455. LAST 2YRS TOOK TO MANY REPAIR SHOPS. REPLACED, GAS CAP, PURGE VALVE, CANISTER VALVE, CHARCOAL CANISTER. TOOK TO CHEVY. THEY REPLACED PURGE VALVE BECAUSE THEY SAID OTHER MECHANICS USED NON CHEVY PARTS. ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. CHEVY DID SMOKE TEST AND SWORE IT WAS THE FUEL SENSOR COST $1200+. ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON AFTER A WEEK. ANOTHER SMOKE TEST AND NOW PRESSURE TEST BLEW A SMALL SECTION OF FUEL TANK WHERE IT NOW LEAKS. CHEVY SAID THE SEAL MOST LIKELY NOT SEATED PROPERLY AND I NEED A NEW FUEL TANK ABOUT $1000. BUT THEY CAN'T GUARANTEE THIS IS THE CAUSE OF THE ENGINE LIGHT. I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER $1000 ESPECIALLY IF THIS DOESNT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. ALREADY SPENT THOUSANDS FIXING DIFFERENT PARTS. VEHICLE GETS ABOUT 12MPG AND HAS IN THE PAST LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AS IF NOT ENOUGH FUEL IS GETTING THROUGH BUT THAT HASNT HAPPENED IN SOME TIME. WONDER IF ANYONE ELSE HAVING THIS P0455 ISSUE?

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.

Summary

DRIVING WITH A TRAVEL TRAILER IN TOW IN I-81 IN NY ON 6/15/16 WE SUDDENLY HAD EXTREME SWAY. MY CAR/TRAILER HAD VERY GOOD HITCH/ANTI-SWAY DEVICES. WITHOUT MUCH NOTICE, I LOST CONTROL. I BELIEVE THE FRAME SUPPORTING THE HITCH RECEIVER FAILED CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF OUR TOW VEHICLE AND OUR AIRSTREAM 25 FOOT TRAVEL TRAILER. I AM A VERY EXPERIENCED DRIVER WITH THIS COMBINATION OF TOW VEHICLE, TRAVEL TRAILER, AND HITCH CONFIGURATION. THE ONSET AND MAGNITUDE OF THE SWAY (VIOLENT) CAUSED ME TO LOSE CONTROL AS WE WERE GOING 65 MPH ON THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I HAVE TOWED THIS SAME CONFIGURATION FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF MILES WITH NO INSTANCES OF PROBLEMS. SOMETHING DRASTIC HAPPENED! I WAS PASSING A SLOW MOVING CAR , SO WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE HEADING SOUTH WHEN I STARTED TO SWAY. I REACHED FOR THE BRAKE CONTROLLER IN AN ATTEMPT TO APPLY THE TRAILER BRAKES. THE SWAY DRASTICALLY ACCELERATED TO THE EXTENT I WAS UNABLE TO REACH THE BRAKE CONTROLLER DUE TO THE VIOLENT MOTION. WITHIN A FEW SECONDS, MY VEHICLE CAME TO REST AGAINST THE GUARDRAIL ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY (HEADING NORTH) WITH THE TRAILER JACKNIFED/PERPENDICULAR TO THE GUARDRAIL SUCH THAT I WAS BLOCKING BOTH LANES OF THE HIGHWAY. I EXAMINED THE HITCH AND TRAILER COUPLING AND ALL SEEMED NORMAL EXCEPT FOR DAMAGE FROM THE CRASH. THE HITCH FRAME OF THE SUBURBAN WAS TORN AND TOTALLY RIPPED FROM THE VEHICLE ON ONE SIDE.

ONE AT THE REAR LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG SECTION, AND ANOTHER BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER SIDE. THE CAR IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION OTHER THAN THE DASH. ITS AN EYE-SORE TO SEE THESE CRACKS EVERY DAY. HAD THESE CRACKS BEEN THERE A YEAR AGO WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR, WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT IT.

GOT IN MY SUV THIS MORNING TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND NOTICED A HUGE CRACK MIDDLE WAY OF THE DASH COMING UP TO THE TOP HUMP WHERE CONTROLS ARE LOCATED. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WHEN PAYING OVER $30,000.00 FOR A VEHICLE, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPORTING CRACKS ON YOUR DASH. I FEEL THIS MAY CAUSE AN ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS GOING OFF AS THEY SHOULD IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY BE REPAIRED BY GM ASAP. IF THERE ARE THIS MANY ISSUES WITH ALL GM MAKES THEN THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

IN SEPTEMBER 2014, I NOTICED MY DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CRACKING. I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS A GM CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTEE IN APRIL 2013 WITH 60081 MILES ON IT. IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP IT DEVELOPED THIS CRACK WHILE STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTEE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WITH ALL MY PAPERWORK AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED, NOR WOULD THEY REPLACE IT. THIS CRACK HAS DEVELOPED DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN FROM NEGLECT, EXCESS WEAR AND TEAR, EXCESS SUNLIGHT OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN MANUFACTURE FLAW. THIS CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO SPREAD AND DUE TO THE THIN AND SHARP NATURE OF THE PLASTIC, IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THIS WOULD SPLINTER AND ACT LIKE SHRAPNEL WITHIN THE CABIN. MY FAMILY'S LIFE IS DANGER DUE TO THIS FACT AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I KNOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH EVEN 2015 MODELS. I AM ASKING FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND YOURS.

I BOUGHT A GM CERTIFIED SUBURBAN AND LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER THE DASHBOARD CRACKED BEHIND THE AIRBAG. I CALLED THE DEALER AND GM AND ALERTED THEM TO THE PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM I FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IF THAT AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT COULD SEND THAT SHARP PIECE OF BROKEN PLASTIC FLYING THROUGH MY CAR. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT AND SAID IT IS NOT A COMMON COMPLAINT PEOPLE ARE HAVING. HOWEVER, EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO WITH A SUBURBAN, TAHOE, OR PICK UP TRUCK BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2007-2013 IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE NEAR THAT AIRBAG. GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE BEFORE INNOCENT PEOPLE GET HURT.

ON 6/23/15, ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MANUFACTURER (GM) REPLACE THE DASHBOARD (THRU LOCAL DEALER - BANNER CHEVROLET, NEW ORLEANS). DEALER TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD SHARE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT? MY SHARE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $500? WHY WOULD GM SHARE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT, UNLESS THEY ARE AWARE OF A HEREDITARY ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW CAUSING THE DASHBOARDS TO CRACK ULTIMATELY INTERFERRING WITH THE PROPER DEPLOYMENT AND USE OF THE AIRBAG?

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

Summary

THIS IS BECOMING A RECURRING AND REPRODUCIBLE PROBLEM. THE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURS WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP SIGN AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE MOST RELIABLE WAY TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS. BE DRIVING ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR, UP A SLIGHT SLOPE. MOVE YOUR FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND ON TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. DEPRESS THE BRAKE LIGHTLY. JUST AS THE VEHICLE STARTS TO SLOW DOWN YOU WILL FEEL THE ACCELERATION OF THE ENGINE AS IF THE VEHICLE IS ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN THE 15 MILE PER HOUR PREVIOUS SPEED. THIS UNEXPECTED RESPONSE WILL LAST ABOUT TWO SECONDS AND THEN RETURN TO NORMAL (IDLE) CONDITION. THIS SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED BEHAVIOR IS VERY UNNERVING AND COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT IF THE ROAD CONDITIONS WERE TO BE SLIPPERY. *TR
