Example complaints

“Takata recall the dashboard has cracked in several places and over the course of a few months, has completely broken over the instrument cluster. This is a safety hazard as I am afraid other pieces will fly out in the event of an accident. My family and I have been faithful customers of GM since the 50's but I am strongly considering another brand since GM does not honor or offer to fix repeated problems by its owners.”
NHTSA complaint #11161196, filed 2018-12, 240,000 miles“There is a recall for the chrome door handles on the 2007 Chevrolet tahoe, but I am having the same problem with the chrome in my 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. The dealer says the Suburban is not part of the recall even though it is the exact same problem in almost the same car. This recall needs to be expanded. I have had two people cut their hands on my door handle, and I'm going to just sand it down myself or wrap it with duct tape.”
NHTSA complaint #10354736, filed 2010-09, 63,000 miles“I am filing this compliant about the cracked dash on my 2007 chevy regency Suburban, which I purchased brand new in 2008. This dash has been cracked for over 7 years now. I have tried several times to get the dealership (reliable Chevrolet) in dallas, tx to fix the issue but was told it would cost me somewhere around $1,500 to do so. There are 2 cracks near the passenger side airbag edges then a massive hole over the console because the entire top of the console has cracked to into pieces. Likewise, the front panel of the console, inside the vent area has cracked and fallen about. …”
NHTSA complaint #11230262, filed 2019-07, 30,000 miles“Just using the door handle to get into my Suburban on the passenger side like any reasonable person, not roughly or bearing weight, and the plastic handle broke and pulled out on one end. Same breakage occurred with rear door as well when one of my children was opening the door. Made the folks at our local Chevrolet service shop aware while having my oil changed and they quoted a price ~$245. No offer to help covering any part and this was while my full warranty was still active. The folks that work there are kind and helpful. …”
NHTSA complaint #10564169, filed 2014-02, 70,000 miles“The exterior door handles pull out of the car body on my 2007 chevy ltz Suburban.. The design appears to use plastic plugs that either break apart or deteriorate, causing the door handles to break loose when grabbed and pulled to open the doors. My handles have all broken loose at the forward end of the handle, with the rear end remaining attached. This has happened multiple times, the first of which may have been in 2010. I believe I initially had the drivers door and the right rear door handles replaced under warranty (before 3 year/36,000 miles). …”
