Our 2014 Chevrolet Suburban has been garage-kept since it was purchased new. Within a year of the factory airbag recall replacement, the dashboard began cracking in two separate areas. The cracks have continued to spread despite the vehicle being consistently garage-kept and the regular use of a windshield sunshade.

I received a safety recall for my suburban in 2021. I contacted the dealership and have been waiting for 1 year to get a call back from Chevrolet dealership so that they can proceed with the passenger airbag repair “safety recall”.

I cannot believe we don't have a repair for this yet. It is proven to be fatal, even a 2013 Chev Cruze incident caused a fatality. I want to know something about this fix and I want Chevrolet/GM to start fixing immediately. At this point, I am paying a lien on a vehicle that could be fatal and no one is talking about when it will be repaired.

We need to sell this vehicle, which our company can not do with an open recall on it - the auction company will not allow it. I called Gene Messer Chevy and spoke with Keith & was told they CAN NOT repair yet As recall was listed in Feb, this is affecting our ability to dispose of vehicle in timely manner. My company is AgriSompo North America and the vehicle is located at our Lubbock Texas office.

THIS 2014 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN WAS PURCHASED BY MY HUSBAND IN 2017. CRACKS HAVE STARTED AT BOTH TOP CORNERS OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. ACCORDING TO INFORMATION FOUND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, GM IS AWARE OF IT BUT CHOOSES TO IGNORE IT. IT SEEMS TO ME, THIS TYPE OF CRACKING COULD EFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRBAG OR CREATE A MORE DANGEROUS SITUATION IN CASE OF A WRECK.

WOULD GET INTERMITTENT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT. TOOK IT TO ONE DEALERSHIP AND FOUND NO CODES. LATER I FIGURED OUT IT WOULD ONLY BE ON WITH A PASSENGER IN THE SEAT AND TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS FOUND TO BE THE PASSENGER PRESENCE MODULE. WITH THE LIGHT ON THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. FILED THE COMPLAINT WITH GM WARRANTY DEPARTMENT AS THE TRUCK IS A 2014 MODEL AND ONLY 54,000 MILES, GM WILL NOT WARRANTY OR PAY FOR THE FIX. HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY FEATURE
