"TAKATA INFLATORS" AND DASHBOARD CRACKS. I HAVE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2008 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WHICH GM IS FULLY AWARE OF, AND AVOIDS THE TOPIC WITH EVERY CALL PLACED WITH THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. NOW THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATORS TO RUPTURE ALONG WITH FRAGMENTED DASHBOARD PARTS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE PRIMARY CRACK(S) ARE LOCATED RIGHT AT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LOCATION. I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH ABOUT THE SAFETY CONCERNS I HAVE AND THE LACK OF ATTENTION THAT GM HAS GIVEN REGARDING THE CRACKS AND NOW THE AIRBAGS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM CAUSED THE ENGINE TO QUIT GOING DOWN THE HI WAY SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS VERY DANGEROUS SOME OF THE TIMES AND LEFT US STRANDED SOMETIMES. GM ACTS LIKE THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG BUT THERE IS AMPLE INFO ON THE INTERNET AND EVEN A FIX BUT IT DISABLE THE ATS, IT TURNS OFF THE FUEL TO THE INJECTORS KILLING THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. WE HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT RESTART.

WHEELS
HAVE P275/55 R20 BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA TIRES WITH 25,600 MILES ON THEM, 10/32 OF TREAD LEFT AND THE DRY ROTTING IS HORRIBLE ESPECIALLY AROUND THE RIM! CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE DIRECTLY TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY ACTIVE RECALLS AND WAS BASICALLY BRUSHED OFF AS AN OZONE PROBLEM. THE LADY SAID BRIDGESTONE HAD NO RECALLS ON ANY OF THERE TIRES. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BRIDGESTONE AND CONCERNED THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY BAD BLOWOUT.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2005 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 4X4 FLEX FUEL, 5.3L. THIS VEHICLE'S INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOES NOT WORK. TACHOMETER PEGS AND STICKS. THE SPEEDOMETER IS STUCK AT ZERO. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT GENERAL MOTORS/GM SHOULD DO A FREE RECALL FOR AS MANY OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS. MY ABS SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF NUMEROUS TIMES A DAY, AND CLUSTER STATES SERVICE AIR BAG. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD ALSO FIX THIS FOR FREE UNDER A RECALL AS OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. MY THIRD MAJOR COMPLAINT, IS THE VEHICLE STARTING PROBLEM/HARD START. IT TAKES TWO TURNS OF THE ENGINE FOR THE VEHICLE TO TURN ON AND STAY RUNNING. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ON VARIOUS SEARCH ENGINES, FORUMS, AND INCLUDING RECALL.GOV. GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD ADDRESS THIS ISSUES AS WELL UNDER A RECALL. GM INSTALLED FAULTY FUEL PUMPS OR FUEL PUMPS WITH FAULTY COMPONENTS IN THEM. A VEHICLE SHOULD START WITH ONE TRY. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO GET THE FUEL PRESSURE GOING IN THE ON POSITION, OR CRANK IT TWICE FOR MY TRUCK TO START.

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" AIRBAG HAS CLEARLY DEPLOYED WITHIN THE DASHBOARD OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE ENTIRE DASH ALL AROUND THE AIRBAG IS CRACKED AND BROKEN. THE AIRBAG IS SOFT IN THE AREA WHERE THERE SHOULD BE AN AIRBAG. GM IS REFUSING THAT THIS IS AN AIRBAG ISSUE BASED OFF OF PICTURES AND IS REFUSING TO INVESTIGATE FURTHER SAYING THAT IS JUST A BROKEN DASH AND I ASKED FOR AN INSPECTION WHICH THEY DENIED. I WANT TO ENSURE MY SAFETY AND PASSENGERS SAFETY SO THEREFORE WILL DISABLE THE FRONT AIRBAG AS IT MAY NOT ENGAGE OR MAY SENDS SHARDS OF PLASTIC INTO THE FACE OF MY PASSENGER IF IT IS EVER DEPLOYED.

ALTHOUGH GM SAYS THAT THE TRUCK IS SAFE, I FEEL THAT DRIVING A POTENTIALLY LETHAL TRUCK WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS, WHOSE CONDITION IS MADE MUCH WORSE BECAUSE OF THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY OF SW FLORIDA, I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE AT ALL.

MY 2008 SUBURBAN ABOUT 1 YEAR AGO DEVELOPED 2 CRACKS ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDE AND ONE ON THE LEFT SIDE BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOY'S IN AN ACCIDENT, MY ENTIRE DASH BOARD WILL BECOME SMALL PROJECTILES CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF OR ONE OF MY KIDS. THERE ARE ALREADY CLASS ACTION SUITS ON THESE AND SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE WHO HAVE COMPLAIN. I'M ASKING FOR THE NHTSA TO FORCE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OVER THIS. THERE IS NO REASON TO RISKS ONE'S LIFE BECAUSE A MULITA-BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY WHO KNOWS THEY HAVE AN ISSUE WON'T TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. THIS IS AMERICA, NOT SOME 3RD WORLD COUNTRY WITH NO REGULATIONS SO I ASK YOU PERFORM YOUR DUTIES AND FORCE A RECALL BY GM. THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH ADMITTED THERE IS AN ISSUE BY OFFERING CUSTOMERS TO FIX IT FOR FREE UP TO $1000.00 WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED.

DASHBOARD CRACK APPEARED AT AROUND 68,000 MILES. NO COLLISIONS OR ANY OTHER OBVIOUS CAUSE. I BELIEVE GM HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE THAT HAS PLAGUED OTHER GM VEHICLES AND I BELIEVE GM KNOWS IT IS FAULTY BECAUSE THEY OFFERED TO FIX IT AT HALF PRICE. I FULLY EXPECT TO SEE MORE CRACKS SHOW UP AND I'M CONCERNED THAT AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT MAY CAUSE THE BRITTLE DASH TO EXOLODE.I REFUSED THE REPAIR BECAUSE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND THERE IS NO EVIDENCE GM REPAIRS FIX THE PROBLEM LONG TERM. THIS VEHICLE WAS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED BY A GM DEALER WHEN I PURCHASED IT.

VEHICLE DASH CRACHED WHILE DRIVING, MAKING QUITE A LOUD NOISE LIKE A POP. THEN THE DASH CRACKED ACROSS THE RIGHT SIDE. PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2008 SUBURBAN WITH A LOT MORE CRACKING THAN THIS ONE BUT THIS ONE JUST STARTED. THE 2008 SUBURBAN ACTUALLY BROKE INTO CHIPS AND WOULD BLOW ACROSS A PERSONS FACE WHILE DRIVING. I REPAIRED IT THROUGH A PAINT AND BODY SHOP AT COST OF NEARLY $1,350.00 DOLLARS. THESE DASH PROBLEMS ARE IN MOST OF SUBURBANS AND TAHOES AND A VERY SERIOUS DANGER TO PEOPLE DRIVING THESE VEHICLES AND G.M. HAS NOT STEPPED UP AND RECALLED/REPAIRED THEM. WHEN SOMEONE GETS A SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSE AN EYE THEN MAYBE THEY WILL REPAIR THEM BUT THIS WILL NOT RETURN AN EYE, ARM, LEG OR LIFE DUE TO THIS NOT REPAIRING THEM.
