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.
Chrome peeling off of inside door handles has become hazardous, which cut 2 of my fingers. I'm now afraid to open my door w/o getting cut. Please consider this as a recall item.
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.
The dash has cracked in two places. One near the air bag and once in front of the driver. I wonder what will happen in an accident.
The dash on my 2007 suburban cracked on the driver's side in front of the instrument bezel area. This same exact crack has appeared on hundreds if not thousands of suburban, tahoe, yukon, yukon xl, and silverado trucks for this vehicle cycle. Also on other similar dash panels an additional crack has appeared by the passenger airbag. Recently gm has redesigned the dash so that it will not crack in these areas, but they have failed to issue any sort of recall to the current owners with defective dashes and fix the dash that could pose a safety risk if the vehicle is involved in an accident.
Dash cracked in three places, two around passenger airbag cover, one directly over steering wheel.
The passenger side rear door, interior door handle has peeled. My son lacerated his finger on the peeling chrome plating. This seems to be a common problem among gm owners and an obvious poor manufacture in several models with a definite need to replace all the interior handles. This is a hazard that has been brought to your attention on other models and I am unable to see a resolution. It appears all the investigations have been closed.
The chrome on both the driver and passenger side interior door handles is peeling off and cuts your fingers everytime you try to open the door.
I would like to call your attention to an accident that happened to my 17 month old granddaughter. In attempting to steady herself while walking, she accidentally touched the tire on my daughter's chevrolet suburban. Her small hand slipped through the hub cap space and came in contact with the hot brake pad, causing her to suffer 2nd degree burns on the palm of her hand. It is my belief that this must have happened to other young children. Parents with whom my daughter and I have spoken had no idea that brake pads were so accessible. I am concerned that the public is not aware of this danger and should become aware as soon as possible.

2007 chevrolet suburban, inside door handles cut hands and fingers of family members. Gm dealer will not warranty repairs to the handles and wants to charge for the defect.
Finger cut from sharp chrome pealing from inside passenger door handle on 2007 chevy suburban ltz model. Both my wife and son have received deep, painful paper type cuts from this problem. Dealer will not replace for free because out of warranty.
Purchased new and own a 2007 chevy suburban. We have cut our hands several times opening the driver side door when pulling the inside door handle inward. This has been caused by the peeling fake chrome plastic that covers the inside handle. This peeling fake chrome creates a sharp edge as it peels off that is directly positioned to rub across one's fingers as you pull the door handle in toward you to open the door.
Chrome coating on interior door handles peeled and presented a sharp edge that caused several minor cuts to fingers on various dates.
The chrome on front passenger interior door handle is peeling off, creating a sharp edge that I have cut myself on when opening the door. Other passengers have cut themselves on it as well.
Chrome on door handles razor sharp edges and cut fingers and hands!
My 5 year old son was hit on the top of his head with our automatic closing cargo door on our 2007 chevrolet suburban when the resistance mechanism failed. Instead of going back up after meeting some resistance the cargo door continued to close on his head resulting in a gash to the top of his head which resulted in 3 staples to the top of his head. I immediately notified gm and it has taken this long to get some assistance. They offered to pay his medical expenses, which were already covered with our military insurance, and 300 for his pain and suffering. We declined the 300 because gm would not take responsibility even going as afar as to say that I may have caused the damage by pulling him out from under the door. When I asked the claims lady if I should have then allowed the cargo door to keep closing on my son's head she said I don't know I wasn't there. I want to warn other parents because accidents happen and the cargo door should not require that much pressure before the resistance mechanism works---my son should not have had to require 3 staples to the top of his head!
