2012 Chevrolet Suburban Problems

This is a recall took my 2012 Surburban to dealership in leavenworth, KS they had vehicle for two weeks did not fix the airbag that is under recall they stated could not get parts for it. So what is the problem with our government system in place to fix these problems but the GM dealership is not fixing the air bag nor do they call and state they have the parts in stock now???

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 21V051000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The local dealer was contacted and it was confirmed that the part was not yet available. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Vin tool confirms parts not available.

My dash on my 2012 Suburban cracked within 4 years of its manufactured date and it just keeps getting worse. If there were an accident it is so dry and cracked it will through hard plastic into the driver and passengers. I know of many other same and similar year models that have the same issue. Now that there is a passenger-side airbag recall would be the perfect time for GM to step up and fix this obvious flaw.

Dashboard is cracking. I understand the class action was dismissed. But this is so unfair that the customers have to pay to fix for problem caused by material problem.

TRANSMISSION FAILURE< 150,000 MILES!! WELL MAINTAINED. LEFT US STRANDED ON OFF RAMP I-78.!!! CRACKED DASH ELECTRICAL PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL- ENGINE IS BEING REPLACED

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THIS MOSTLY OCCURS ON SURFACE STREETS, THE STABILITRAK LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND THEN SHUT OFF. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSED AND THE LIGHTS WILL NOW COME ON AND THEN BLACK OUT THE DASHBOARD. THE CAR HAS EVEN COMPLETELY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AND THEN COME BACK ON. THIS IS QUITE TERRIFYING! THE BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED AND IS BRAND NEW. THE ONLY TIME THE CAR LOST POWER ON THE HIGHWAY WAS WHEN THE CAR WAS MOVING AT A SLOWER RATE OF BETWEEN 30-50 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE RADIO AND DASHBOARD LIGHTS BLINKED OFF AND ON AND THE DOORS LOCKED AND UNLOCKED CONTINUOUSLY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE ENGINE WAS ACTING LIKE IT WAS STALLING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO PULL THE VEHICLE OVER AND SHUT IT OFF. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, THE ENGINE REVVED HIGHLY AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL. UPON TAKING OFF, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AS IF IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

MY AUTO GEAR SHIFT DISINGAGED FROM THE TRANSMISSION THE CAR STARTED MOVING AS I WAS TRYING TO GET INTO THE DRIVER SEAT WITH DRIVER DOOR CATCHING THE TREE LIMBS AND OPENING THE DOOR AND ME HOLDING ONTO THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROOKE AND I FELL ONTO THE GROUND WHEN THE CAR STOPPED BY BACKING OVER THE CURB AND HITTING ANOTHER TREE. THERE IS A BUSHING HOLDING THE CABLE TO TRANSMISSION LEVER AND MY AUTO TRANSMISSION SHOP AND LOCAL CHEVY DEALER HAVE BOTH TOLD ME THE FAULTY CABLE CONNECTOR GETS BRITTLE AND BREAKS. NO WAY TO SAFELY DRIVE AS I CANNOT MOVE.

HAVE P275/55 R20 BRIDGESTONE DUELER H/L ALENZA TIRES WITH 25,600 MILES ON THEM, 10/32 OF TREAD LEFT AND THE DRY ROTTING IS HORRIBLE ESPECIALLY AROUND THE RIM! CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE DIRECTLY TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY ACTIVE RECALLS AND WAS BASICALLY BRUSHED OFF AS AN OZONE PROBLEM. THE LADY SAID BRIDGESTONE HAD NO RECALLS ON ANY OF THERE TIRES. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN BRIDGESTONE AND CONCERNED THIS COULD LEAD TO A VERY BAD BLOWOUT.
