2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN Structurebody Problems

My 2007 Suburban has extensive rust that has left the frame open and crumbling. It appears that the seals on the vehicle did not do their job. The spare tire cannot hold under it. I have never taken it into salt water nor has it had flood damage. Its main years on the road were in CT and NJ. I have never seen a vehicle with this amount of crumbling rust. I have to drive 2 hours each way to see my specialists at Shands Hospital in Gainesville every 2 - 3 months and as a female it does concern me that there is that lifter clicking as well as the oil disappears and yet there's no puddle. Also, the lighting in the cabin ac area doesn't function as well as the rear controls. In Florida my last two problems deal with my problem with heat. The a/c runs intermittently...

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

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

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.

I AM FILING THIS COMPLIANT ABOUT THE CRACKED DASH ON MY 2007 CHEVY REGENCY SUBURBAN, WHICH I PURCHASED BRAND NEW IN 2008. THIS DASH HAS BEEN CRACKED FOR OVER 7 YEARS NOW. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET THE DEALERSHIP (RELIABLE CHEVROLET) IN DALLAS, TX TO FIX THE ISSUE BUT WAS TOLD IT WOULD COST ME SOMEWHERE AROUND $1,500 TO DO SO. THERE ARE 2 CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EDGES THEN A MASSIVE HOLE OVER THE CONSOLE BECAUSE THE ENTIRE TOP OF THE CONSOLE HAS CRACKED TO INTO PIECES. LIKEWISE, THE FRONT PANEL OF THE CONSOLE, INSIDE THE VENT AREA HAS CRACKED AND FALLEN ABOUT. I AM SCARED FOR MYSELF, WIFE, KIDS AND ANY OTHER INNOCENT PASSENGER(S) ALONG FOR THE RIDE BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAGS DO DEPLOY, THERE IS A HUGE POSSIBILITY PLASTIC SHARDS WILL FLY INTO THEIR FACES CAUSING SEVERE FACIAL DAMAGE AND OR POSSIBLE DEATH.

"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 FIRST ISSUE WAS THE DASHBOARD CRAKING IN NUMEROUS SPOTS AND CHEVY DID FINALY REPLACE THE ENTIRE DASH. THE NEXT ISSUE WAS THE PAINT ON THE "WHITE EXTERIOR" BEGAIN CHIPPING OFF IN LARGE 4-7 INCH PARTS ALL OVER THE SUV. THE DEALER FORCED ME TO PAY HALF OR THE PARTIAL REPAINT .1000. :( TAKATA RECALL IS THE LATEST. I WONDER HOW AMERICA CAN BE GREAT AGAIN WITH THIS LEVEL OF QUALITY. SO SAD.

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. THE CONTACT NOTICED A THIRD CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THE CRACK MADE THE AIR COME OUT OF THE VENT HIGHER THAN THE REST OF THE DASHBOARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 137,904.

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.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES, NOTABLY AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE LARGER DASH PANEL WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER BUT HAS CRACKED AGAIN, TWICE. THE SMALLER, FORWARD DASH PANEL IS ALSO NOW CRACKED. THE DEALER HAS REFUSED ASSISTANCE. ALL CRACKS OCCURRED WHILE STATIONARY. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN VARIOUS AREAS. SPECIFIC AREA IS THE CRACKING NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. I AM SERIOUSLY WORRIED IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO HAPPEN AND THE AIRBAG WAS TO DEPLOY THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC COULD BE SENT FLYING THRU THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE

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.

WE WERE DRIVING HOME WHEN A PERSON RAN A RED LIGHT AND HIT US. WE WERE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION ABOUT 15 MILES AN HOUR AND THEY HIT THE FRONT PART OF OUR SUBURBAN. EVERYTHING WAS DAMAGED THE HOOD , AND EVERYTHING INSIDE THE HOOD SUSTAINED DAMAGE. THERE WAS A LIQUID THAT WAS LEAKING BUT I AM UNAWARE OF THE SUBSTANCE. THE PERSON THAT HIT US MUST HAVE BEEN GOING ABOUT 40-60 MILES AN HOUR. AFTER THEY FLED THE SEEN POLICE MENTIONED THAT THEIR AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED. MY CONCERN WAS WHY OUR AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AS WELL. MY DAUGHTER AND I BOTH HIT OUR HEADS ON OUR SIDE WINDOWS. MY SON HAD SLIGHT INJURY MOSTLY FROM THE SEATBELT. MY SONS DOOR HAD TO BE OPENED FROM THE POLICE OFFICER ON THE SCREEN. MY BIGGEST CONCERN WAS ABOUT THE AIRBAGS AND ALSO THE ONSTAR DID NOT WORK AS WELL....

THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES PULL OUT OF THE CAR BODY ON MY 2007 CHEVY LTZ SUBURBAN.. THE DESIGN APPEARS TO USE PLASTIC PLUGS THAT EITHER BREAK APART OR DETERIORATE, CAUSING THE DOOR HANDLES TO BREAK LOOSE WHEN GRABBED AND PULLED TO OPEN THE DOORS. MY HANDLES HAVE ALL BROKEN LOOSE AT THE FORWARD END OF THE HANDLE, WITH THE REAR END REMAINING ATTACHED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES, THE FIRST OF WHICH MAY HAVE BEEN IN 2010. I BELIEVE I INITIALLY HAD THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THE RIGHT REAR DOOR HANDLES REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (BEFORE 3 YEAR/36,000 MILES). I BELIEVE THAT A SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED TO THE FRONT RIGHT (PASSENGER) DOOR, POSSIBLY IN 2011, AND THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED IT WITHOUT CHARGE AS PART OF A GM ACKNOWLEDGED DEFECTIVE ITEM RECALL. RECENTLY, IN APRIL 2013, I AGAIN NOTICED THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE HAD BROKEN AGAIN. I JUST HAD...
