2007 Chevrolet Suburban body problems

Filed Apr 27, 2024 · Body, Driver assistance · FL

My 2007 Suburban has extensive rust that has left the frame open and crumbling. It appears that the seals on the vehicle did not do their job. The spare tire cannot hold under it. I have never taken it into salt water nor has it had flood damage. Its main years on the road were in CT and NJ. I have never seen a vehicle with this amount of crumbling rust. I have to drive 2 hours each way to see my specialists at Shands Hospital in Gainesville every 2 - 3 months and as a female it does concern me that there is that lifter clicking as well as the oil disappears and yet there's no puddle. Also, the lighting in the cabin ac area doesn't function as well as the rear controls. In Florida my last two problems deal with my problem with heat. The a/c runs intermittently and sometimes only blows very hot air. Also, what a big reason I purchased a Tahoe LTZ and this vehicle was because of the remote start which is not working. Is there anything that can be done. I needed a safe vehicle for my short regular trips and I've become worried and I have already had to rent a vehicle to make the trip out of fear of the cabin getting so hot. With Narcolepsy I can fall asleep without warning. Please advise. I'd love to keep the truck but not if it could mean injuring someone else or myself. Thanks in advance.

The front dash is cracking all across the the cab. The sharp points are so pointed that if the airbags are deployed it will cause cuts and possibly damage a person eyes

The dashboard is badly cracked. It will cost about $1,000 to repair which reduces the net proceeds if we sell it. We don't feel comfortable selling it without the repair and doubt anyone would want to buy it in this condition. I also feel somewhat unsafe driving it considering the airbag issues. It's gradually gotten worse, so no specific date that I can recall.

I am filing this compliant about the cracked dash on my 2007 chevy regency suburban, which I purchased brand new in 2008. This dash has been cracked for over 7 years now. I have tried several times to get the dealership (reliable chevrolet) in dallas, tx to fix the issue but was told it would cost me somewhere around $1,500 to do so. There are 2 cracks near the passenger side airbag edges then a massive hole over the console because the entire top of the console has cracked to into pieces. Likewise, the front panel of the console, inside the vent area has cracked and fallen about. I am scared for myself, wife, kids and any other innocent passenger(s) along for the ride because if the airbags do deploy, there is a huge possibility plastic shards will fly into their faces causing severe facial damage and or possible death.

"takata recall" the dashboard has cracked in several places and over the course of a few months, has completely broken over the instrument cluster. This is a safety hazard as I am afraid other pieces will fly out in the event of an accident. My family and I have been faithful customers of gm since the 50's but I am strongly considering another brand since gm does not honor or offer to fix repeated problems by its owners.

The first issue was the dashboard craking in numerous spots and chevy did finaly replace the entire dash. The next issue was the paint on the "white exterior" begain chipping off in large 4-7 inch parts all over the SUV. The dealer forced me to pay half or the partial repaint .1000. :( takata recall is the latest. I wonder how america can be great again with this level of quality. So sad.
