“The dark in cracking in multiple places including around the air bag. The danger is the dash itself could become pieces of shrapnel in an accident where the airbag would deploy. The cracks occurred while driving and we have been told it is due to the tight fit of the dash in the space allowed. This is our second dash as the first cracked dash was already replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #10854554, filed 2016-04, 65,000 miles“Contacted dealer in 2016 about takata recall. Told me the parts were not available. Contacted dealer in oct 2017 again, told the parts were still not available. I believe the general motors has had sufficient time to acquire replacement air bag inflator and that they are deliberately stalling hoping the problem will simple go away. I need my truck fixed so that my wife can ride with me on trips.”
NHTSA complaint #11034514, filed 2017-10, 167,000 miles“I noticed last year that my driver side dash had a crack between the windshield and the steering wheel and at first was shocked as I thought I was seeing things but infact it was cracked. I contacted my car detailer and asked if he noticed it and he told me he sees this in many suburban's and escalades that he details and thought I was aware of it and would contact the dealership! …”

The airbag continually switches back and forth from on to off on a trip. My wife will try to find a position where the airbag is on, only to notice several minutes later it is again off.”
NHTSA complaint #10184596, filed 2007-03, 1,000 miles“My two children and I where coming home from a wrestling tournament traveling on a highway doing about 65 MPH. They were in the back seat. We all had seat belts on. I had a epileptic seizure and they said my foot hit the throttle so we might have be going faster when we hit. I last recall doing the speed limit. I went to the left and missed a power pole but hit the railroad tracks(these tracks are banked up on dirt and rock). Which caused the suburban to some how roll 4 to 5 times down the tracks.we ended up on the other side of the tracks on our rims. Every tire was blown. …”
