This page covers 1 recall and 59 owner complaints for the 2014 Chevrolet Suburban.
For the 2014 Suburban, the loudest complaint theme centers on dashboard cracking, filed under the airbag category because the cracks often run directly across or adjacent to the passenger-side airbag panel. Owners consistently describe the dashboard splitting without any collision or obvious physical stress, cracks appear along the airbag seam, across the driver's side, and spreading over time even on well-maintained, garage-kept vehicles. The structural complaint category reflects a separate but recurring concern: highway sway or side-to-side rocking at speed that owners describe as heavy and difficult to control. Powertrain complaints are fewer in number and more varied, including isolated reports of sudden electrical dropout, lights flickering, traction control cycling on and off, before the vehicle returns to normal operation. The dashboard cracking pattern is by far the most consistent thread, with multiple owners specifically noting the cracks form around the airbag cover without any precipitating event.
