Body problems of the 2008 Chevrolet Suburban

Earlier today, the dashboard on my Suburban spontaneously three crackswith no impact whatsoever. One of the cracks runs all the way from the windshield to the top of the dash above the steering wheel. The second crack splits off the first one and is heading toward the driver side window. This occurred while the vehicle was sitting in a parking lot, locked up and with nobody in the vehicle. Prior to this happening, there was no previous sign of cracks of any kind and the vehicle was parked in the shade under a tree for the entire day. In addition, it was a rainy overcast day and the ambient temperature was only about 70 degf.

Drivers door has had trouble closing. Hinge was stiff and creaked loudly. Several attempts just told needed greased. So we continued to grease when necessary at home. Kept greasing the hinge. Finally the door would not shut at all around 90,000 plus miles when first noticed the door issue. Had to have someone come and help close the door. The door turned out to be defective metal and near the hinge the metal has torn across and thus lowered the door to where it does not close properly. A small weld was done to hold while I pursued help through chevy to no avail as by then we were over 100,000 and told too late. I even had the body manager tell them no rust around hinge, defective metal. Now the passenger door has same issue. Windows are starting to have trouble closing since door off line.

There is a big crack spaning the length of the driver side dashboard. Startsin the corner and over the instrument panel and getting bigger.

I cut my finger on the interior passenger side door handle when exiting my vehicle last weekend. The metal lifted, making an extremely sharp edge. I emailed Chevrolet on Saturday in the early afternoon, but have not heard back from them yet. This is very dangerous, and I am not sure how to proceed. Thank you for your help!.

Door handles are all coming off on exterior of vehicle on both of the front and rear passenger doors.

The contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Suburban. The contact stated that the rear hatch lock was not operable and the vehicle was not equipped with a manual release button. The contact was concerned that it would be difficult to exit the vehicle in the event of an emergency or fire. The dealer was notified of the failure and offered no assistance. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 73,000 and the current mileage was 75,000.

All 4 automatic door locking actuators do not work. The actuators do not work when the lock/unlock button is pressed on the remote. Locks do not actuate when the car is put into park or when the speed is attained that is set in the system settings. The only way to lock/unlock the doors is to manually push or pull the door lock. You can also unlock the drivers side lock by using the key. This is unsafe.

Engine mounts repeatedly fail and have been replaced 4 times, now it occurs 1 per year. The engine twists and clunks around inside the engine compartment.

Dashboard has completely fallen apart and it is broken into pieces. If the airbags deploy (which airbags are also a recall), this pieces of dashboard can be deadly projectiles to my family. The dashboard started coming apart since 2010. I use my vehicle daily.

Left and right rear exterior door handles broken/inoperable. Those were removed and replaced at dealership, but at half price (parts and labor) since I had gone over the 36,000 mile warranty. Since that time, I have had all four mounts on exterior door handles break making it necessary to open the doors very carefully so that the handles do not break off completely so I can open the doors. Also I have had to replace the actuators on the driver's door and the left rear door. Now the locks on all four doors work only intermittently, both by remote control and by manually using the master electric locks on front doors. I believe the problems with the locks and handles could someday cause a person's death, should they ever need to exit or enter during emergency situations (just use your imagination). Gm should recall and address these problems immediately as this has been known about for years now!.
