2007 Chevrolet Suburban Body & Structure Problems

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

DASH HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS, NOT SURE THE DATE WHEN IT HAPPENED, I USED TODAY'S DATE, I JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE, IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TRIED TO REPAIR IT. THERE IS NO SUPPORT UNDER THE DASH. HUSBAND HAD A 2006 GMC SIERRA C2500 TRUCK VIN # [XXX] AND HIS CRACKED ALSO, WE DO NOT OWN IT ANYMORE INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

"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 CHROME ON THE DOOR HANDLES, ALL 4 OF THEM, ARE PEELING, WHERE THE CHROME WILL ACTUALLY SLICE YOUR SKIN ON YOUR FINGERS AND MAKE YOU BLEED.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN 4 OR 5 PLACES OVER A PERIOD OF TIME. THIS WAS NOT A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT. IT JUST CRACKED WITHOUT ANY STRESS ON IT.

INTERIOR CHROME DOOR HANDLES PEELING. PEELING CHROME EXTREMELY SHARP. I'VE HAD MY FINGERS PRICKED BY THE PEELING CHROME AND MY WIFE GOT A SMALL CUT ON HER FINGER FROM IT. VERY SHARP. *TR

DASH CRACKED WHILE SUBURBAN WAS SITTING STILL. *TR

THE DASH IS CRACKED IN HERE PLACES AND IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT MAY RUPTURE DUE TO THE SHARP EDGES OF THE CRACK

THE PLASTIC INSTRUMENT DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THE ONE CRACK IS LOCATED BESIDE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT APPEARS THAT IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE FOR PIECES OF THE PLASTIC DASH TO BE PROPELLED AROUND THE INTERIOR CABIN OF THE VEHICLE IF THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IN A CRASH. *TR

THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE AREAS THAT COULD IMPACT THE PROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO. IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 86000 MILES ON IT. AT APPROXIMATELY 89000 MILES THE DASH BEGAN CRACKING. IT HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK EVER SINCE. THE FIRST ONE WAS ON THE LEFT FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. SINCE THEN I HAVE NUMEROUS CRACKS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS COULD BE A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED AND THE DASH BREAKS FURTHER AND SENDS PROJECTILES OF THE DASH MATERIAL AIRBORNE IN A CRASH. THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THESE MODEL VEHICLES FROM 2007 TO 2011. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND PAID FOR BY GM. SOME OF THESE CRACKS HAVE HAPPENED WHILE MOVING AND ONE EVEN HAPPENED FROM THE INTERIOR GETTING COLD INSIDE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATELY FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

INTERIOR FRONT DOOR HANDLES PLASTIC CHROME PEELING AND CUTTING HANDS. *JS

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.

2007 CHEVY SUBURBAN WITH 5.3 AFM ENGINE. DRIVING DOWN FREEWAY AND TRACTION CONTROL, STABILINK AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON. MISFIRING REAL BAD. AFTER GETTING IT TO SHOP THEY STATED NO COMPRESSION IN 2 CYLINDERS. WHEN TOLD SERVICE MANAGER HE STATED WHAT PROBLEM WAS RIGHT AWAY. THEN CONFIRMED IT. KNEW RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE IT IS COMMON PROBLEM. STATED PROBLEM DROPPED LIFTERS WHICH DAMAGED CAMSHAFT STEMMING FROM AFM SYSTEM. WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO TEAR DOWN ENGINE TO BE EXACT BUT WILL NEED A MOTOR EITHER WAY. THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE OIL CONSUMPTION PROBLEM WITH THIS MOTOR. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING OIL CONSUMPTION FOR A LONG TIME. I WOULD BURN A QUART OF OIL DRIVING 1000 MILES ON LONG TRIPS. EVERY WEEK I'M A 1/4-1/2 QUART LOW. CHEVY SAYS THIS IS NORMAL AND DENIES THERE IS A PROBLEM BUT THIS IS FAR FROM NORMAL. THIS ALSO STEMS FROM AFM SYSTEM. AN 07 CHEVY SUBURBAN THAT HAS BEEN MAINTAINED SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 170,000 MILES AND CHEVY SHOULD STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT OF A KNOWN ISSUE. THERE HAVE BEEN FIXES BY CHEVY BUT NONE SEEM TO WORK. I NEVER FORMALLY FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVY OR DID OIL CONSUMPTION TEST( BUT THEY WOULDN'T HAVE IT IF THERE WASN'T A PROBLEM. I HAVE JUST FOLLOWED ISSUE ONLINE WAITING FOR A FIX. BUT , MOTOR DIED FIRST. ALSO VEHICLE HAS A CRACKED DASH WHICH HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE WHICH CHEVY HAS SINCE REINFORCED THE PLACES IT CRACKS INDICATING THERE WAS A FLAW IN DESIGN BUT CHEVY REFUSES TO FIX. *TR

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. *TR

DASH HAS BEEN CRACKING FOR 2-3 YEARS. DEALER REFUSES TO DOCUMENT OR REMEDY. SAYS VEHICLE IS OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIR BAGS GO OFF OR IF A CHILD WAS TO REACH UP AND TOUCH THE CRACK. IT IS RAZOR SHARP. 3 CRACKS TOTAL. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND NOT SITTING IN THE SUN.
