I BOUGHT A NEW 2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN IN NOV. 2009 AND EVENTUALLY TRADED IT IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE IN JULY 2015 AS THE CRACKED DASHBOARD CONCERNED ME. IT HAD 2 CRACKS, BOTH VERY CLOSE TO THE AIRBAGS. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE, IT STARTED TO CRACK IN 2011. HOWEVER, OTHER DEFECTS FOLLOWED, SUCH AS FRONT ROW CENTER SEAT LID BREAKING, DRIVERS AND FRONT PSGR SEAT REAR POCKETS BREAKING, INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE STARTED TO PEEL AND CUT MY WIFE'S FINGERS A FEW TIMES, LIFTGATE'S STRUTS FAILED IN SEPT. 2012, GOT IT REPLACED (PAID OUT OF POCKET ABOUT $200), BUT BROKE AGAIN IN DEC. 2013. ON THE EXTERIOR, THE SIDE MOLDING STARTED TO CURL UP IN 2010, VERY EMBARRASSING TO SEE.

WHEN YOU ENGAGE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, THERE IS A VERY JERKY, PUSH-PULL WHEN ACCELERATING UNTIL TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR FLASHES AND TURNS STABILITRAK OFF.

I ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING AND CAUSING THE SPEAKER BUILT INTO THE DASH TO RATTLE UNCONTROLLABLE - THIS IS VERY IRRITATING AND A SAFETY ISSUE AS IT CAUSES ME TO TAKE MY EYES/HANDS OFF THE WHEEL TO TRY AND STOP THE RATTLE!

2009 THE SUBURBAN HAS A CENTER MOUNTED DASH SPEAKER. THE WEIGHT OF THIS SPEAKER, OVER TIME, HAS CAUSED THE DASH TO CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE PASSENGER IN THE CASE THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED AND THE DASH EXPLODES?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

OUR ACTUATORS FAILED ON 3 OF MY DOORS OF MY 2009 CHEVY SUBURBAN. IF YOU USE THE REMOTE ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR DOOR LOCKS AND/OR UNLOCKS. IF YOU USE THE UNLOCK/LOCK POWER BUTTON ONLY THE DRIVERS SIDE REAR WORKS. YOU MUST USE THE KEY TO UNLOCK THE DRIVERS DOOR AND YOU MUST EITHER OPEN THE WINDOW TO MANUALLY UNLOCK THE OTHER DOORS OR REACH ACROSS THE CAR TO UNLOCK THE PASSENGER SIDE LOCKS. WE CONTACTED GM AND THEY SENT US TO HAVE A DIAGNOSIS DONE WHICH COST US $99. THEY ESTIMATED THE COST TO BE $900 AND TOLD US WE WERE RESPONSIBLE BECAUSE OUR WARRANTY ENDED AT 36,000 MILES. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN. IN AN ACCIDENT I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO GET TO ANY PASSENGERS INCLUDING MY CHILDREN NOR COULD EMERGENCY PERSONNEL. I COULD EASILY BE CAR JACKED OR HAVE MY BELONGINGS STOLEN DUE TO THE LOCKS NOT WORKING. IF MY SMALL CHILD CHOKED OR HAD A MEDICAL EMERGENCY I COULD NOT REACH THEM. I WATCH STORIES EVERY DAY ON THE NEWS OF AWFUL PEOPLE TAKING OR ASSAULTING WOMEN BY BREAKING INTO THEIR CARS AND HIDING IN THE BACK SEATS. THIS CAR COST WELL OVER $50,000 AND THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL. THERE WILL BE A TRAGEDY IF THIS IS NOT FIXED.
