2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Air Bags Problems

This is not connected with a specific crash in this vehicle. It is a defect with all vehicles with this seat. There is known common defect with the stitching on the side of the front seats covering the airbag. The stitching is designed to come apart if an airbag is deployed. The defective stitching deteriorates and falls apart. This exposes the airbag system in the seat. This occurs on all GM vehicles with the same leather seats. Models include Suburbans, Yukons, and pickup trucks. In this Suburban the stiching started to come apart about 6 years ago with a few loose threads. The entire side of the seat has now come apart. The rest of the seat is in relatively good repair without any holes, rips or torn stitching. GM claims this is cosmetic and not covered. The safety issues caused by this includes the potential deterioration of the airbag system interfering with deployment in a crash. Another safety issue is the potential for foreign objects to get lodged in this space and injuring someone if the airbag goes off. The third safety issue is the potential of a person, or child, to access the airbag and cause it to go off without warning.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact later received a recall notification for NHTSA Campaign Number: 21V050000 (Air Bags) which she associated to the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the recall repair; however, upon picking up the vehicle, the contact noticed that the air bag warning light remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer who provided the contact with a diagnostic fee. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

THIS IS A FLORIDA VEHICLE WHERE HEAT AND HUMIDITY (THE MAJOR FACTORS IDENTIFIED WITH FAILURES OF THESE AIRBAGS/INFLATORS) CAN CAUSE MY SUBURBAN TO BE A HIGH RISK TO ME AND MY FAMILY. WE SUBMITTED FOR THIS RECALL IN 2016 AND HAVE YET TO BE CONTACTED ON STATUS OR ESTIMATED TIME FOR THE PARTS/PROCEDURES TO BE READY TO COMPLETE THIS REPAIR. AS GM DISAGREES WITH THIS RECALL, THEY APPEAR TO BE STALLING IN HOPES THAT THE VEHICLES WILL JUST BE RETIRED BEFORE THEY HAVE TO REPAIR THEM. WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL PEOPLE DIE FOR THE NHTSA TO FORCE THE HAND ON GM TO IMPLEMENT THIS RECALL.

I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE GM HAS YET TO ISSUE A SOLUTION FOR THE RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. WHEN WILL GM ISSUE THE FIX, WITH ALL THESE NEW RECALLS COMING OUT ON THE TAKATA AIR BAGS I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED WITH WHY THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN ADDRESSED WITH MY VEHICLE.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE SUBMITTED TO NOTIFY ME OF THE IMPORTANT RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE. GENERAL MOTORS HAS BEEN UNABLE TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, NOR REPLACE OR FIX THE ISSUE. (ID# 16V381). MY OTHER VEHICLE, OF A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER, WAS QUICKLY CORRECTED AND MADE SAFE. IT IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE FOR GM TO LEAVE THIS ISSUE FOR SO LONG UNRESOLVED. NOTICE WAS MAILED JULY 2016, IT IS NOW NOVEMBER 2019. MORE THAN 3 YEARS FOR A REPAIR OF PROPELLANT THAT MAY DEGRADE CAUSING THE INFLATORS TO "RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THREE YEARS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR GM TO DELAY.

AIR BAG FOR THIS 2011 SUBURBAN HAS BEEN IN RECALL FOR 9 YEARS WITH "RECALL INCOMPLETE, REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE". I THINK 9 YEARS FOR A RECALL SOLUTION IS ENOUGH TIME - ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS NO WAY TO DISABLE THE AIR BAGS. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT MY RECOURSE IS WHEN A FAMILY MEMBER IS KILLED BY SHRAPNEL.

THE AIRBAGS ON MY 2011 CHEVY SUBURBAN HAVE ALMOST NEVER WORKED SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN TO MULTIPLE SHOPS FOR THE AIRBAGS AND NOT ONE HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. THEY ALL HAVE GOTTEN IT TO GO AWAY FOR A DAY OR TWO BUT NOT A SINGLE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN ABLE TO FIX IT. THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND I'M STUCK WITH IT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 60,000ISH MILES BUT HAS NO VALUE DUE TO THIS ISSUE.

IN SEPTEMBER 2014, I NOTICED MY DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CRACKING. I PURCHASED THIS CAR AS A GM CERTIFIED USED CAR WITH ORIGINAL FACTORY WARRANTEE IN APRIL 2013 WITH 60081 MILES ON IT. IN LESS THAN 5 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP IT DEVELOPED THIS CRACK WHILE STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTEE. I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER WITH ALL MY PAPERWORK AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED, NOR WOULD THEY REPLACE IT. THIS CRACK HAS DEVELOPED DUE TO NO FAULT OF MY OWN FROM NEGLECT, EXCESS WEAR AND TEAR, EXCESS SUNLIGHT OR ANYTHING OTHER THAN MANUFACTURE FLAW. THIS CRACK HAS CONTINUED TO SPREAD AND DUE TO THE THIN AND SHARP NATURE OF THE PLASTIC, IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, THIS WOULD SPLINTER AND ACT LIKE SHRAPNEL WITHIN THE CABIN. MY FAMILY'S LIFE IS DANGER DUE TO THIS FACT AND GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS IS AN ISSUE. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS AS I KNOW MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH EVEN 2015 MODELS. I AM ASKING FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND YOURS.

I BOUGHT A GM CERTIFIED SUBURBAN AND LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LATER THE DASHBOARD CRACKED BEHIND THE AIRBAG. I CALLED THE DEALER AND GM AND ALERTED THEM TO THE PROBLEM AND TOLD THEM I FELT UNSAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IF THAT AIRBAG DEPLOYS IT COULD SEND THAT SHARP PIECE OF BROKEN PLASTIC FLYING THROUGH MY CAR. THEY WILL NOT FIX THE DASHBOARD WITHOUT ME PAYING FOR IT AND SAID IT IS NOT A COMMON COMPLAINT PEOPLE ARE HAVING. HOWEVER, EVERYONE I HAVE TALKED TO WITH A SUBURBAN, TAHOE, OR PICK UP TRUCK BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2007-2013 IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CRACK IN THE SAME PLACE NEAR THAT AIRBAG.

MY 2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500 LT (IN EXCELLENT SHAPE) HAS MULTIPLE DRIVERS SIDE DASHBOARD CRACKS AND THESE CRACKS MAY AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT BY CUTTING THE AIRBAG IF DEPLOYED POSSIBLY CAUSING AIRBAG FAILURE WHEN NEEDED. ON 6/23/15, ATTEMPTED TO HAVE MANUFACTURER (GM) REPLACE THE DASHBOARD (THRU LOCAL DEALER - BANNER CHEVROLET, NEW ORLEANS). DEALER TOLD ME THAT GM WOULD SHARE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT? MY SHARE WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $500? WHY WOULD GM SHARE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT, UNLESS THEY ARE AWARE OF A HEREDITARY ENGINEERING DESIGN FLAW CAUSING THE DASHBOARDS TO CRACK ULTIMATELY INTERFERRING WITH THE PROPER DEPLOYMENT AND USE OF THE AIRBAG?
