general problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Suburban

I took my vehicle to have to air bag repaired and it has a cracks all over the dashboard now. I contacted to representative and was informed this is a hazzard of this vehicle. It is a known issue but it has not been addressed by the GMC company. How many people have to be injured or killed before it becomes and actual safety issue? whose life is considered expendable? if it is a known issue and it has been, in good faith, brought to gmcs attention, why has it not been corrected?.

The front dash had suffered catastrophic cracking and damage from the sun and or heat. The majority of the dan is so badly cracked and faking apart, a aftermarket dash cover was purchased to cover the unsightly oem dash.

My dash is completely cracked in several places, I believe it’s a 2 piece dash the section closest to the windshield and the other half has the vents passenger airbag. There is approximately a 1 inch gap between the 2 pieces as well as multiple cracks. Also the rear sensors on the bumper I had replaced one and the part cost me $20 or less. I am disabled and was able to have a friend get under the rear of the truck and change 1 sensor. There still was a code and I had nobody around that could help me and I was due for inspection and thought I may get failed if they see a code. With that I brought my vehicle to schumacher Chevrolet in livingston NJ. So they told me I had another bad sensor and I had no way to clear the code so I had them do the repair. They told me the same part I brought for under $20 cost me there almost $300 for the sensor. . Do they have to use their parts or should they had given me the opportunity to get an aftermarket one whether they got it or I got it and then have them finish the job. Needless to say I walked out with a bill around $500. I’m permanently disabled and receive a little money from s. Security every months. That cost my 1/3 of my entire check for the month. I always thought they give you an option or aftermarket parts. I’ve had other vehicles in my life before I was disabled and always was asked. I’m really disappointed in the condition of the dash and the crazy amount for a part. Note I do have a 2008 f-series super duty truck with a little over 108,000 miles and my Suburban only has 89,000 miles yet my Ford dash doesn’t have one crack in the dash. I also had a 1999 Chevrolet tahoe and sold that in 2010 and got the new truck I mentioned but I have well over 120,000 miles on it and that didn’t have any dash cracks. That should be held accountable obviously it’s an issue with the company or how they are making the dash. My 75th anniv Suburban should not have dash issues with as much as the vehicle costs. Parts are too $$.

Truck loses power to engine while driving. I have no oil pressure no fuel no speedometer and no rooms but my battery runs on about 14. Truck will drive at speed it shutsdown at but if u stop it takes a little longer to gain speed. This has did this about 5 times in 2 weeks I had it in the shop 3 times and we are unable to figure it out. If u turn the truck up it will not start u have to unhook the battery to get power back.

Upon exiting the vehicle I was sliced by the chrome coating peeling away from inner door handle. Finger was sliced about 3/4" long and bad enough to bleed. I then took notice of other inner door handles and found passenger side front inner door handle also having the chrome coating peeling from handle. Further research found this problem on earlier gm models.
