2011 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Unknown Or Other Problems

Dash cracked and cruise control wont turn on when button pushed.

A leak in the AC evaporator hose is a hazard to the environment. The replacement part is not manufactured.

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 DASHBOARD CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AREA AND ABOVE THE TOP OF THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND WAS ALREADY CRACKED WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. *TR

Mileage: 99,000

A CRACK HAS FORMED ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE GAUGES AND STEERING WHEEL.

Mileage: 133,000

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.

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.

THE DASHBOARD CAP CRACKED FOR NO REASON AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THERE WILL BE PLASTIC FROM THE DASHBOARD CAP BLOWN ALL OVER THE INTERIOR OF THE CABIN DURING AN ACCIDENT.

CRACKED DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE. MY DASH IS CRACK SO BADLY, I'M AFRAID THE AIRBAG WILL COME OUT ON ITS OWN. IT IS DOWNRIGHT NEGLIGENT THAT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS TAKEN SERIOUSLY.

CRACKED DASH ON MY 2011 CHEVY SUBURBAN. THE CRACKS EXTENDED THE LENGTH OF THE DASH AND UP AND AROUND THE PASASNGER AIRBAG

Mileage: 91,000

THERE IS A RECALL WITH TAKATA AIRBAG AND CHEVROLET HAS NOT FURNISHED A REPLACE THE PART OR FIX IN A TIMELY MANNER. SECOND ISSUE IS WITH DASHBOARD CRACKING. MY SUBURBAN SITS UNDER OUR CARPORT 99% OF THE TIME, BUT YET HAS A FEW CRACKS ON THE DASH. THIRD ISSUE IS CORROSION IN THE UNDERCARRIAGE, AND I LIVE IN DEEP SOUTH TEXAS WHERE IT DOES NOT SNOW, AND THE BEACH IS 1.5 HOURS AWAY FROM WHERE I LIVE. THIS VEHICLE SITS ON JUST OVER 40K MILES.

THE DASH PANEL OF MY 2011 SUBURBAN LTZ HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS. THE CRACKS ARE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER, AND AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, FROM ONE END TO THE AIR BAG. I HAVE PAID TO HAVE THE CRACKS REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THEY CONTINUE TO CRACK, AS EVIDENCED BY THE ATTACHED PICTURES. THESE CRACKS HAVE APPEARED COMPLETELY ON THEIR OWN WITHOUT ANYTHING BEING PLACED ONTO OR HITTING THE DASH PANEL. SHOULD I BE INVOLVED AN ACCIDENT CAUSING THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY, THESE CRACKS WOULD CREATE A "SHRAPNEL EFFECT" OF THE PLASTIC PIECES BEING FORCED INTO THE PASSENGER CABIN AND POSSIBLY INTO THE FACES OF PASSENGERS.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED WITHOUT ANY INTERVENING EVENT. ONE CRACK ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASHBOARD IS DIRECTLY ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID IF AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES OR POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG OPERATION. ANOTHER CRACK ON TOP OF DASHBOARD IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ON THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENTATION CLUSTER IS MORE THAN 5.5 TO 6 INCHES LONG.

Mileage: 75,000

TOP OF DASH BOARD CRACKED AND BROKE, I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MY EFFECT THE PROPER OPERATION OF THE AIR BAGS.

CRACKED DASH AT AIRBAG AND ABOVE STEERING. DEALER WILL REPAIR VIA AN EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED WHEN THE AUTO WAS NEW.

I WAS DRIVING ON A NICELY PAVED ROAD (NO BOMBS, POTHOLES, ETC...) WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY DASHBOARD CRACKED! IT IS NOW RATTLING AND JIGGLING AND CAUSES A DISTRACTION TO MY LINE OF SIGHT AS I'M DRIVING. I WENT TO MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER MY WARRANTY AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY THE WHOLE AMOUNT OUT OF POCKET TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

THE DASH IN OUR 2011 CHEVY SUBUBAN LTZ IS CRACKED AT THE AIRBAG. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THIS IS A GM DEFECT THAT IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT COULD BE DANGEROUS AND PROJECT PIECES OF THE DASH. THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO FURTHER.

WITHIN LESS THAT TWO YEARS THE DASH STARTED CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES. IT HAS CONTINUED UNTIL THE CRACKS HAVE SPANNED THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE DASH IN IN MULTIPLE PLACES RUNNING FROM FRONT TO REAR. WHILE DRIVING THE PIECES OF THE DASH CONTINUALLY VIBRATE AND FLEX. THE DEALER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR PROVIDE WARRANTY COVERAGE.

THE DASH IS CRACKING BY THE AIRBAG. THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED WITH MY 2006 TAHOE. THERE IS A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH OVER 3000 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE - IN ADDITION TO A NEWS SEGMENT THAT WAS RECENTLY COVERED. IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. THE FACEBOOK PAGE IS "07-13 GM CRACKED DASH SAFETY HAZARD FOR ALL TRUCKS"

GOT IN MY SUV THIS MORNING TO LEAVE FOR WORK AND NOTICED A HUGE CRACK MIDDLE WAY OF THE DASH COMING UP TO THE TOP HUMP WHERE CONTROLS ARE LOCATED. AS I HAVE RESEARCHED I SEE THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE. WHEN PAYING OVER $30,000.00 FOR A VEHICLE, YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE REPORTING CRACKS ON YOUR DASH. I FEEL THIS MAY CAUSE AN ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS GOING OFF AS THEY SHOULD IF EVER IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD MOST DEFINITELY BE REPAIRED BY GM ASAP. IF THERE ARE THIS MANY ISSUES WITH ALL GM MAKES THEN THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

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. GM NEEDS TO FIX THESE BEFORE INNOCENT PEOPLE GET HURT.
