Earlier today, the dashboard on my suburban spontaneously three crackswith no impact whatsoever. One of the cracks runs all the way from the windshield to the top of the dash above the steering wheel. The second crack splits off the first one and is heading toward the driver side window. This occurred while the vehicle was sitting in a parking lot, locked up and with nobody in the vehicle. Prior to this happening, there was no previous sign of cracks of any kind and the vehicle was parked in the shade under a tree for the entire day. In addition, it was a rainy overcast day and the ambient temperature was only about 70 degf.

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.

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.

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.
