MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED MORE AND MORE OVER THE YEARS. AT THIS POINT PIECES HAVE ACTUALLY BROKEN OFF. THIS VEHICLE WAS TOO EXPENSIVE TO HAVE CHEAPLY MADE PARTS INSTALLED. *TR

I'M VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAD MY PASSENGER AIRBAG INSPECTED BECAUSE THE LIGHT IS ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED AND THAT THERE IS A VERY HIGH CHANCE THAT IT WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY UPON IMPACT. I HAVE TO PAY OUT MY POCKET OR RIDE AROUND WITH A NON OPERATIONAL AIRBAG BECAUSE IT'S TAKING YEARS FOR A RESOLUTION TO BE FOUND. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS INCLUDING 3 CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH I BELIEVE LEADS TO A SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD THE BAG DEPLOY. IF DEPLOYED, THE SHATTERED PLASTIC WOULD BE SENT AS PROJECTILES THROUGH THE CAR RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. ALSO, IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, THE PLASTIC SHARDS COULD CUT THE AIRBAGS RENDERING THEM INEFFECTIVE. I'M ASKING FOR THIS TO BE REPORTED TO GENERAL MOTORS AS A SEVER SAFETY CONCERN AND ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS SERIOUS INJURY. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE A 1996 CHEVY TAHOE WHICH I HAVE BEEN THE ORIGINAL OWNER SINCE NEW. I RECENTLY HAD MAINTENANCE PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE AND HAD THE SHOP CHECK THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG BECAUSE THE CHECK AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT WAS COMING ON DURING THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. THE REPAIR SHOP INDICATED TO ME THAT THE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BUT THE SENSOR WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE EVEN AFTER A STATES WIDE SEARCH WAS PERFORMED. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS ONLY TO FIND OUT THE PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED AND NO REPLACEMENT PART IS AVAILABLE. THE PART NUMBER FROM GM IS #16162465 AND THERE IS NO AFTER MARKET PARTS. IS GENERAL MOTORS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR A REPLACEMENT PART FOR THIS REQUIRED SAFETY ITEM OR WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST I DO TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM? *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKS ABOVE THE AIRBAG AREA AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT COWLING. THE CRACK HAS SLOWLY BEEN INCREASING AND NOW IT IS SO BAD THAT IT WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT POSSIBLY FROM OVER-TIGHTENING BOLTS. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2016 TAHOE WHEN IT BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE TRACTION LIGHT CAME ON THEN THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO LOOSE POWER. I PULLED OVER AND PARKED THE VEHICLE AND IT SHUT OFF. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CRANK THE VEHICLE UP AGAIN IT MADE A VERY LOUD SOUND AND DIED. AFTER HAVING IT TOWED TO A LOCAL SHOP IT WAS FOUND THAT THE VALUE SPRING IN THE #2 CYLINDER WAS BROKEN AND THE PUSH ROD WAS BENT. AT THE TIME THE VEHICLE HAD 75,200 MILES ON IT. NOW, I AM EXPERIENCING A CHUGGING FEELING WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE. PRETTY SURE I HAVE ANOTHER SPRING THAT'S ABOUT TO BREAK. *TR

THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE LIFTERS WERE BAD AND THAT THE CAM SHAFT ROD IS BENT. THIS IS A $60,000 VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 3 YEARS OLD AND THEY ARE EXPECTING ME TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I HAVE AN OPEN RECALL (N192268490) ON MY SUV THAT KNOWINGLY DOES HAVE ISSUES WHEN I AM DRIVING AND THE BREAKS WILL NOT STOP MY VEHICLE PROPERLY. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO THE LOCAL CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENTS AND I OPENED A CASE NUMBER WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE, THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED AND STILL REMAINS A DRIVING ISSUE AND SAFETY CONCERN. SINCE DECEMBER 2019, I HAVE TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO THE 2 LOCAL CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS AND SERVICE DEPARTMENTS ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. BOTH LOCATIONS TOLD ME THE SOFTWARE IS NOT UPDATED PROPERLY THEREFORE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT EXCEPT RECALL. AFTER MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO GET THE RECALL FIXED AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL, I CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY AND A CASE NUMBER WAS ISSUED (SERVICE REQUEST NUMBER: 9-5847462774). I COMMUNICATED FREQUENTLY WITH CHEVROLET ON RESOLVING THE RECALL ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. THE END RESULT, I WAS TOLD BY CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT THE ISSUE IS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED AND THE RECALL COULD NOT BE COMPLETED DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE THAT CHEVROLET NEEDED AND THEY WERE UNCERTAIN IF/WHEN THE SOFTWARE UPDATE WOULD BE AVAILABLE. SINCE THE CASE WITH CHEVROLET HAS BEEN OPENED, I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV TO ANOTHER CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON 2 OTHER OCCASIONS AND THE RECALL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I HAVE TAKEN MY SUV IN FOR THIS RECALL, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AGAIN VIA EMAIL AND I HAVE GOTTEN NO REPLY BACK OR RETURN PHONE CALL. IS THIS HOW A PERSON, WITH A FAMILY, THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL ON A VEHICLE SHOULD BE TREATED? ESPECIALLY, WHEN THE VACUUM LINE FOR THE BRAKES IN MY CHEVROLET TAHOE KNOWINGLY DO NOT SEAL AND THE BRAKES DO NOT OPERATE AS INTENDED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND EXTENDED TO THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THE POWERED SIDE MIRRORS WERE INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MIRRORS WERE ONLY ADJUSTABLE MANUALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE NHTSA FOR ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

MY EMGINE HAD JUST A LITTLE OVER 100000 MILES ON IT AND I ALMOST GOT KILLED ON THE INTERSTATE. FIRST I SAW SMOKE COMING FROM BELOW AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS COMING FROM THE TRUCK NEXT TO MINE. THEN I FELT A STOPPING FEELING IN MY TAHOE. I MOVED QUICKLY TO THE SERVICE LANE AND GOT IT IMMEDIATELY TO MY MECHANIC. I HAVE RECORDS OF REGULAR SERVICES TO MY VEHICLE. I HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR $7239.49. I HAD MY ATTORNEY LOOK INTO IT AND MY YEAR PLUS A FEW OTHER YEARS HAD THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THE DEALER NEVER RECALLED IT.

SERVICE BRAKES
IN SEPTEMBER OF 2019, GMC ISSUED A RECALL FOR SEVERAL GMC VEHICLES REGARDING "SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:VACUUM". AS SUCH, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP PER THE INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED BY GMC. HOWEVER, SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE OUT OF A CROWED PARKING LOT, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. PLACING THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL ALONG PLUS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WAS REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE WAS AN EXTREMELY CLOSE CALL TO THE SAFETY OF THE SURROUNDING BYSTANDERS IN THE PARKING LOT. UPON DISCUSSIONS WITH BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC, IT WAS REPORTED THAT THE CURRENT RECALL ONLY REPROGRAMS THE COMPONENTS (REFERENCE THE LETTER ISSUED BY GMC AND THE NHTSA'S WEB SITE FOR THIS RECALL). IT WAS FURTHER COMMENTED BY BOTH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP AND CUSTOMER SERVICE AT GMC, THAT THIS WILL NOT ADDRESS ALL VEHICLES IDENTIFIED IN THIS RECALL, MEANING MORE ACTION MAY BE REQUIRED TO FIX THE UNDERLINING ISSUE. IN THIS CASE, SEVERAL COMPONENTS WERE NEEDED TO BE PHYSICAL REPLACED, NAMELY THE VACUUM PUMP. IN ADDITION, IT WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BY BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND GMC THAT A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE OF THESE VEHICLES IDENTIFIED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL WILL EXPERIENCE SIMILAR ISSUES (BRAKES FAILING TO STOP THE VEHICLE). DURING THE CALL TO GMC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (866.790.5600), THE SENIOR MANAGER REFUSED TO TAKE THE ADVICE TO INFORM ALL CUSTOMERS/CONSUMERS OF THIS DANGEROUS ONGOING RISK. EVEN THOUGH IT'S A KNOWN FAILURE, GMC HAS YET TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL NOTIFICATION TO CONSUMERS THAT THE CURRENT RECALL MAY FAIL TO ADDRESS THE UNDERLINING SAFETY FAILURE TO THE BRAKING SYSTEM. GMC SHOULD ISSUE A NEW RECALL TO ADVICE THE REPLACEMENT OF THE PHYSICAL COMPONENTS OF THE VACUUM BRAKE ASSISTANCE SYSTEM BY ALL EFFECTED VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY. OTHERWISE, THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE PARTS UNLESS THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCES AN ACTUAL FAILURE.
