Takata inflators ... Still no repair info. Also, as noted in many other complaints, my passenger side airbag/dash cover has a huge crack all the way across. Needs to be fixed. Also - we have electrical issue after electrical issue. When will they address these issues?

Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 63 of 63, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Takata recall info received, but chevy won't fix it. Another issue is cracked dashboard in several places. I am concerned with its integrity.
Ladies and gentlemen: I have contacted gm/chevrolet and they are telling me this is not a valid recall any longer. Please let me know if need to call/contact someone else. Thank you,[xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
It's been 4 months. Pats still not available.
I noticed last year that my driver side dash had a crack between the windshield and the steering wheel and at first was shocked as I thought I was seeing things but infact it was cracked. I contacted my car detailer and asked if he noticed it and he told me he sees this in many suburban's and escalades that he details and thought I was aware of it and would contact the dealership! I contacted the dealership that said it was not common and asked if I use a sun shade being that it's so hot in south florida & I told them I always do and I have a 1996 isuzu trooper and I don't have any cracks in my dash. The dealership said there was nothing they could do. I recently recieved a recall letter stating my vehicle had an airbag recall and when I went online to check the status I saw all these complaints about owners of chevy suburban's with dashboards cracking. I was on lunch break today and when I got in my truck I wanted to take a closer look at the airbag compartment and to my disbelief, the passanger side dash also had a crack in it now and in the exact same spot as all the other complaints just above the passanger side airbag compartment and same area on the drivers side. Being that both suburban's & escalades are manufactured by gm, I now know there's a serious problem and gm needs to take responsibility for this defect for the amount of money these vehicles cost!!! ( $72,000.00 was what my southern comfort custom suburban cost me.) so gm what are you going to do about these ongoing issues with cracking dasboards/airbags??? This is just the begining of my fight on this problem that should not have happened. And I see I'm just one of many complaints with this problem.
Takata recall. I received a recall notice last week, months after it's issue. I have been told there is no remedy as yet. I feel that if this is not corrected soon, then a buyback is in order. How can we drive a vehicle that is dangerous?
Vehicle in motion, turning from a stop in the city when all side airbags deployed. Insurance determined it was not a collision. Gm is investigating our claim.
Dashboard is cracked at passenger airbag and over steering wheel.
My dash started to crack about 2 months after I bought it. It started with a small crack near the airbag; but has now has expanded causing the airbag cover to lift. The dash is now cracked on both driver and the passenger side. I bought the vehicle 3 years ago and have spoke with the service department on numerous occasions in regards to fixing the problem as it seems to be progressing over the years; but each time I have been told that the manufacturer is only willing to cover a percentage.
The dark in cracking in multiple places including around the air bag. The danger is the dash itself could become pieces of shrapnel in an accident where the airbag would deploy. The cracks occurred while driving and we have been told it is due to the tight fit of the dash in the space allowed. This is our second dash as the first cracked dash was already replaced.
My two children and I where coming home from a wrestling tournament traveling on a highway doing about 65 MPH. They were in the back seat. We all had seat belts on. I had a epileptic seizure and they said my foot hit the throttle so we might have be going faster when we hit. I last recall doing the speed limit. I went to the left and missed a power pole but hit the railroad tracks(these tracks are banked up on dirt and rock). Which caused the suburban to some how roll 4 to 5 times down the tracks.we ended up on the other side of the tracks on our rims. Every tire was blown. Every window was shattered except the front it had a hole in a center of it which a railroad tie came thru. There are impressions of the railroad road tracks on the suburban . The driver side of the suburban is smash down to the driver head rest . I ended up with a broken neck. Thank goodness my kids seats were reclined in the back or their necks would have broke. Not one part of this suburban is not smashed. Everything flew out of it when we rolled. My son had to crawl out the window and search on the ground to find cell phones that flew out of the suburban when we wrecked to call 911. The side air bags failed my family. I always felt safe with them. But we rolled and they did not work. Even the front airbag didn't go off when I first hit the tracks. Besides my broken neck it all turned out good. I will never buy a chevy again. Our insurance company said our suburban is totaled. Only thing worth anything is maybe the seats. Everything thing else is scrap metal. If you'd like to see pictures your welcome to contact us. But please check into these suburbans. If we wouldn't have had seatbelts we would all be dead. My husband went and bought a 2015 ford . I will never put my trust in a chevy again. Or airbags. I'm wondering if they just put a airbag sticker in them to make us feel safe. Thank you
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet suburban 1500. While driving approximately 10 MPH, the driver and passenger side curtain air bags inadvertently deployed. The contact sustained lacerations on the nose, but medical attention was not required. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 88,000.
The dashes of all gm trucks and suvs are cracking, badly. They're designed poorly and crack right around the passenger airbag deployment section. In the event of air bag deployment, it will send jagged plastic shards towards the occupants. This is completely unsafe and a serious hazard but gm refuses to correct the issue even though it has been acknowledged, hence I am filing this complaint. If you simply google gm cracked dash and enjoy all the posts and videos from frustrated americans. I have 4 daughters and it not right to have to worry about one of the being injured but a faulty dash please help. Thank you.
Dash cracking around passenger airbag. Suspect deployment could send shoot plastic at driver and passenger.
The door handles have cut three members of my family because the metal is peeling off of the plastic. Seat belts are falling apart and at least 3 of them do not latch at all. This is very dangerous. There definitely should be a recall especially for the seat belts. Air bag light is constantly on and the dealer of course wants to "fix" it and states that if there is a crash that it may not work properly.........this after I had the top half of the engine rebuilt due to oil consumption problem. Then there is the tire pressure monitor which apparently has issues after having new tires put on my car. Nothing but problems with this hunk of junk. Will never buy another chevy vehicle.
While driving vehicle, heard a loud noise-- thought initially a rock had hit windshield. When stopped vehicle, noticed that the dash had cracked at both front edges of airbag on passenger side of dash. Went to local chevy dealership shortly afterwards, was told no warranty as vehicle past 36k mileage limit. I inquired as to safety of these cracks, asking what might happen if airbag deployed and "pieces of dash were projected at passengers". Dealer indicated nothing they could do.
The plastic on the dash around the air bag has cracked. I am afraid to have anyone sit in the front passenger seat. If the airbag deploys the dash is going to break apart.
Dash cracked in three places, two around passenger airbag cover, one directly over steering wheel.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet suburban. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag was fractured and the cracked. The vehicle was taken to the dealer yet vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and they stated they would return the contacts call. The contact had not received a return call. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 56,800.
Air bag sensors in my chevy 2007 surb. Kept going bad and need to be replaced.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet suburban 1500. The contact stated that the stabilitrack warning light continued to illuminate on the instrument panel. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. While driving 40 MPH, all six side curtain air bags deployed without impact or rollover. She was unable to see out any of the windows and the passenger compartment became filled with smoke from the air bag debris. The contact was injured. The dealer found no failures with the vehicle. The insurance company sent a crash team to investigate the failure and they stated that although there was no recall, the air bag sensors were too sensitive and would activate without warning. They also stated that they observed several similar instances with the same model vehicle. The failure and current mileages were 24,000.
The sensor for the passenger side airbag on our 2007 chevrolet suburban does not function properly with a small adult weighing between 105 and 115 pounds sitting in the seat. The airbag continually switches back and forth from on to off on a trip. My wife will try to find a position where the airbag is on, only to notice several minutes later it is again off.
Car is 2007 chevrolet suburban - 2 months old. Check engine and check air bag lights came on. Then, next day car would not start and was jumped easily. After 2 days at dealership service dept., decided it was the cdm. 15 days later cdm came in but, service techs found 4-5 wires "burnt up". Wiring harness is broken. After 6 days wiring harness is in and being replaced currently. Dealership is not sure this will solve the problem.
