2012 Chevrolet Suburban 2500

THE AIRBAG ERROR INDICATOR ON THE DASH ACTIVATES FREQUENTLY, ESPECIALLY AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HUNDRED MILES IN ONE DAY. WHEN THE ERROR MESSAGE IS ACTIVATED, THE BACKUP CAMERA IMAGE IS PIXILATED. IT DOES NOT DO IT WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN PARK. CHEVROLET SERVICE TECHNICIANS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO RECOVER THE ERROR CODE OR REPLICATE THE ERROR MESSAGE. THIS IS A CONTINUING PROBLEM.

WENT TO BUY A NEW SUBURBAN, FOUND A GOOD USED ONE WITHOUT THE CRACKED DASH. WELL WITHIN 2 MONTHS WE NOW HAVE A CRACK IN OUR DASH. WERE TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD $1500 TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT CHEVY WOULD NOT TAKE CARE OF SUCH A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THEIR VEHICLES. HOW ARE THERE TONS OF OTHER BRAND VEHICLES WITHOUT THIS ISSUE? ALWAYS HAVE A SUNSHADE ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS IT ONCE A WEEK. I NOW WANT TO TRADE THIS FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T HAVE SUCH A PROBLEM. CRACK LOOKS LIKE IT COULD INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG OPERATION. OR SEND SHARDS OF PLASTIC WHEN AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. IT HAPPENED PARKED IN OUR GARAGE OVER NIGHT.

Incident Jun 14, 2019

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HEAR A POP AND NOTICE A PIECE MISSING OUT OF MY DASH ABOVE THE AIRBAG AND THEN BEGIN TO NOTICE THE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD RUN ACROSS THE DASH TO THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE NOTICED OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT GM DASHBOARD AND BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE CRACK BEING AT THE AIRBAG AND RUNNING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE DASHBOARD. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT COULD SEND HALF OF THE DASHBOARD INTO THE FRONT SEATS OF THE VEHICLE.

Incident Mar 9, 2019

ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. A FEW DAYS LATER, A SMALL CRACK APPEARED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WITHIN JUST A FEW DAYS, THAT SMALL CRACK GREW APPROXIMATELY 6 INCHES AND IS NOW ON THE HUMP OVER THE CLUSTER.

Incident Oct 9, 2018

WHEN MY CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2012 IS LOCKED USING THE KEY FOB OR REMOTE START, A PERSON INSIDE THE CAR CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOORS OR TAILGATE FROM THE INSIDE (VIA THE DOOR UNLOCK BUTTONS NEAR THE DOOR HANDLES OR THE TAILGATE BUTTON) TO GET OUT OF THE CAR. EXAMPLE, PARENT ACCIDENTALLY LEAVES CHILD IN CAR, EXITS CAR, USES FOB TO LOCK DOORS; CHILD NOW CANNOT UNLOCK THE DOOR OR TAILGATE USING THE UNLOCK BUTTONS BY THE DOOR HANDLES NOR BY USING THE TAILGATE OPEN BUTTON. THE PERSON INSIDE THE CAR IS LOCKED INSIDE AND CANNOT EXIT IF THEY DO NOT HAVE A KEY WITH WHICH TO TURN ON THE CAR OR A FOB WITH WHICH TO UNLOCK THE CAR. WHEN THE CAR IS LOCKED WITH THE FOB A PERSON INSIDE THE CAR CANNOT GET OUT OF THE CAR USING ANY BUTTON OR HANDLE INSIDE THE CAR. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND THE IGNITION OFF. TWO ADULTS TESTED THIS MULTIPLE TIMES AND TRIED ALL POSSIBILITIES TO UNLOCK AND GET OUT OF THE CAR FROM THE INSIDE WHEN IT HAD BEEN LOCKED BY FOB OR REMOTE START. I HAVE A VIDEO DEMONSTRATING THIS WHICH I AM HAPPY TO SHARE, BUT BELIEVE THAT I CANNOT UPLOAD BELOW AS IT IS NOT ONE OF THE PERMITTED FORMATS.

THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS BRAND NEW. THE ONLY TIME THE CAR LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A SLOWER RATE OF BETWEEN 30-50 MPH.

THE DASH IS SO CRACKED THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WOULD SEND PIECES OF PLASTIC THROUGH THE AIR AND HURT/KILL SOMEONE. GM TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE DASHES USING THE INCORRECT PLASTIC MATERIAL WHICH HAS MADE THESE DASHES VERY BRITTLE.

Incident Sep 26, 2017

2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN, DASH BOARD CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG, DASH RATTLES AND VIBRATES WHILE DRIVING, CRACKS APPEARING WITHOUT APPARENT CAUSE ALL AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS THE DASHBOARD WILL BECOME FRAGMENTED AND LAUNCH PLASTIC SHRAPNEL INTO THE FACE OF THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER, IN MY VIEW THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE THE DASHBOARD CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY AND POTENTIAL DISABILITY AND POTENTIALLY BLIND THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AND DRIVER. GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS THERE RE LITERALLY THOUSANDS OF GM VEHICLES ALL WITH THE SAME RELATED PROBLEM OF CRACKING DASHBOARDS
