This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
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.
The dash has developed 2 cracks similar to that reported by other owners. The first crack is in the upper left corner of the passenger air bag. The second crack is from the lower left of the speaker. If in an accident, dash pieces could break off and become flying projectiles.
Dashnoard is cracking for no reason at all. They all have this issue. Poorly made. In a airbag deployment it can shatter and you will have shards of plastic flying everywhere. The issue happens over time. Some sooner then others.
On my vehicle brake oil was leaking my mechanic find that master cylinder leak. After changing the master cylinder when I start driving my brakes got locked. I park the car when it's cool down brake released but same thing happened when I start driving. So my mechanic changed the brake booster but now strange thing happening that brake pedal goes all the way down to floor and it's barely brakes. Just left the SUV on a chevorellet dealer ship see what they will say. But this is definitelya safety issue because there is no way brake should go all the way to floor and barely brake.
2011 Chevy Suburban with @110,000 needs lifters replaced. Seems to be a common complaint with Chevy and GMC owners. Consistent problem with these cars/SUV/trucks. While driving on I95 stop car message came on.
In early 2018, we noticed a very small crack in the dashboard just above the steering column cowling and discussed same with our dealership. We were told they'd called GM and then advised us that we'd need to pay $800 and they'd pick up the rest. Knowing this was not our fault and had to be a defect, we refused and have been trying to get the problem resolved. Since that time, the crack has now run to be several inches long. The defective dashboard is a safety risk. GM has knowledge of the defective dashboards and has done nothing to resolve the issue. GM had defrauded their customers with unfair and deceptive conduct and has continued to sell/replace defective products.
While driving on the freeway at about 60 mph, my Suburban started to stall without warning, no lights appeared on my dash. Locks, radio and front lights started to go off and on and a complete loss of acceleration happened. When completely stopped the issue resolved. Still no indicators of anything wrong on my dash, proceeded to move the car out of the freeway and the same thing happened. Minutes later the car acted normal again. This could cause an accident.
The dashboard on my vehicle is cracking in two different places. One area is right in front of the drivers seat and the other is in front of the passengers seat where the front airbag is located. I just noticed this problem on November 18, 2018.
Vehicle shuts down while driving and while parked. All electronics shut down, unable to activate hazard lights. Previously payed to fix ABS light/sensor. Dash cracked driver side and passenger side. Has happened multiple times prior.
The dashboard is cracked above the instrument cluster/steering wheel - this poses a safety hazard with the airbags and potential debris in the event of an accident - heard a noise and noticed the crack on 11/9/2018.
Cracked dashboard. The dashboard is cracked on the passenger side from the airbag towards the windshield and on the drivers side started at the seam and is creeping toward the steering wheel above the speedometer.
While in park in our driveway, engine turned off, and keys in my hand the Suburban rolled backwards down our driveway, knocking me down and rolling over my leg where it then stopped in the middle of the street. 911 was called and I was transported from the scene to the hospital where I was admitted. We are highly concerned about this incident
Dashboard is all cracked around side airbag and may affect deployment. Dash is also cracked at on driver side. Cracks just appeared no accident, regular around town driving.
Dashboard has cracked around the air bag area. I am concerned that if in an accident, this could affect air bag performance or dashboard could come apart easier on impact and cause bodily harm.
