I RECENTLY EXPERIENCED THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED BY THE GM RECALL 14515 IN MY 2009 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 1500. IN THE PAST 6 WEEKS, THE CAR HAS FAILED TO START. THE FIRST INCIDENT REQUIRED NEARLY 10 MINUTES OF STARTING THE CAR BEFORE IT WOULD START. ONCE STARTED THE CAR WAS FINE. IT WAS A COLD START - FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. ABOUT A MONTH LATER IT FAILED TO START GAIN, AFTER BEING PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY 2 HOURS. AGAIN, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THE TRUCK STARTED AND DROVE FINE AFTERWARDS. TODAY - ABOUT 2 WEEKS AFTER THE 2ND INCIDENT, THE TRUCK STALLED WHILE MY WIFE WAS AT A STOP LIGHT. IT TOOK 6-7 ATTEMPTS TO START BEFORE THE TRUCK AGAIN FIRED UP AND WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THIS CONDITION IS EXACTLY WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN GM RECALL 14515. HOWEVER, GM IS SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE (VIN: [XXX]) IS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. I THINK THAT AN ERROR AND DISAGREE WITH HOW NHTSA AND GM DETERMINED WHICH CARS ARE AFFECTED.... I AM APPALLED THAT GM IS ABLE TO GET AWAY WITH THIS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AT AROUND 50,000 MILES. THERE IS A CRACK BETWEEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER AND THE FRONT EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD AND ONE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO THE FRONT EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD. I WAS TOLD INITIALLY THAT THIS IS SIMPLY A COSMETIC ISSUE, BUT SUBSEQUENT REPORTS SUGGEST THAT THESE CRACKS MAY CAUSE THE DASHBOARD TO SPLINTER WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING PREVENTABLE HARM TO PASSENGERS.

"TAKATA RECALL" YOUR WEBSITE STATES THAT IF THE RECALL IS NOT FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER TO CONTACT YOU OR FILE A COMPLAINT. IT HAS ALMOST BEEN 3 YEARS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AND I HAVE NO IDEA OF WHEN THE FIX IS COMING. I HAVE TWO VEHICLES UNDER THIS RECALL, I AM HOPING YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SHED MORE LIGHT ON THIS SITUATION AS GM DOES NOT CARE ABOUT THE COMPLAINTS FROM ITS CUSTOMERS. I HAVE CONTACTED THEM IN THE PAST AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A ANSWER.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE. IT HAS CRACKED ALL AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT I'M VERY CONCERNED THE DASH WILL INTERFERE WITH THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM ALSO CONCERNED IT WILL BECOME LIKE PIECES OF FLYING SHRAPNEL. THE DASH IS DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD HAVE A RECALL.

ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS IN THE PAST YEAR, THE VEHICLE ENTERS WHAT APPEARS TO BE AN "ELECTRICAL SYSTEM RESET" OF SORTS. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON LONG DISTANCE TRIPS DURING OPERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WILL SUDDENLY POWER OFF AND ON REPEATEDLY, THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS WILL UNLOCK AND RELOCK, THE ENGINE WILL LOSE POWER (QUITE SCARY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS) AND THE VEHICLE MUST BE REMOVED FROM THE ROAD, POWERED DOWN, LET SIT IDLE FOR 5-10 MINUTES AND THEN CAN BE RESTARTED TO A NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION. IT IS ALMOST AS IF THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IS RESETTING ITSELF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION AND MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE (3) TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR - ALL ON LONG TRIPS - MARCH, JULY, AND NOVEMBER. THE MOST RECENT, INSTANCE OCCURRED ABOUT THREE HOURS INTO A RETURN TRIP HOME AND RECURRED AGAIN ABOUT 1-1/2 HOURS LATER (10 MINUTES FROM HOME) DURING THE SAME TRIP. BY RESTARTING/RESETTING THE VEHICLE, I WAS ABLE TO GET HOME. I TOOK TO ADVANCED AUTO AND THE DIAGNOSTIC CAME UP NEGATIVE - NO CODES, BATTERY AND STARTUP ALL GOOD. I HAVE A LARGE FAMILY AND USE THIS VEHICLE TO TRANSPORT THEM AROUND TOWN AND FOR VACATIONS AND SUCH. THIS IS QUITE A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN IT OCCURS AND I AM AFRAID IT MAY LEAVE US STRANDED AT SOME POINT IN TIME, OR WORSE.

TAKATA RECALL - I OBJECT TO GM FILING A PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY. GM'S OWN WEBSITE STATES"THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES." AS THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN LOCATED IN SOUTHEAST FLORIDA SINCE I PURCHASED IT NEW, IT HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO BOTH HEAT AND HUMIDITY NEARLY CONTINUALLY SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE. GM AND TAKATA SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO AVOID THE RESPONSIBILITY TO RESTORE MY VEHICLE TO A SAFE CONDITION.
