MY DASH IS CRACKING IN TWO PLACES ABOVE MY AIRBAGS. THE CRACKS ARE CAUSING MY DASH TO BULGE. IT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT NUMEROUS 2007 TAHOE'S AND YUKON'S ALL HAVE DASH CRACKS IN THE SAME AREAS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY HELP. I AM WORRIED IT WILL AFFECT MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND A TRUCK CUT ME OFF. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID CRASHING BY PUMPING THE BRAKES. I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND SAW BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK. AS I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME, I CRAWLED HOME USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ,FROM FRONT TO BACK, WERE RUSTED AND ROTTED. I PAID A MECHANIC SHOP TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINES. IN ALL OF MY YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE LINES ROT OUT AFTER ONLY NINE YEARS AND 40,000 MILES. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BY CHEVY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LINES. A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. AND TO THINK THAT JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK! *TR

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY
5/31/2011 DRIVER DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED, DOOR WOULD AND ALARM WOULD NOT SET. FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. REAR LEFT AND FRONT RIGHT FAILED WITHIN A YEAR. BOTH WERE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE OUT OF WARRANTY AT 45000 MILES, APPROX. OCTOBER 23 2012, REAR RIGHT LOCK ACTUATOR FAILED. NOT SURE HOW LONG IT WAS NOT WORKING, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND DRIVEN WITH THE DOOR UNLOCKED, UNKNOWN TO ME. I FIND THIS TO BE A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION, AND WITH THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE I'M SURPRISED NO INJURIES HAVE BEEN REPORTED. THEFTS, KIDS OPENING MOVING VEHICLE DOOR, CARJACKING ARE ALL THINGS THAT COME TO MIND. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND NOT ISOLATED TO JUST A FEW VEHICLES. *TR

TWO CRACKS LOCATED ON THE DASH. ONE IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE DRIVER SIDE "HUMP" AND THE OTHER IS LOCATED ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND CONNECTS FROM THE AIRBAG TO THE VENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THESE WILL EFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IF A CRASH OCCURS. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE ON THE 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOES. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT DECREASE SPEED, AND BUT WOULD REGISTER AN INCREASE, AND CONSEQUENTLY WOULD NOT REFLECT ACTUAL SPEED. I COULD CORRECT PROBLEM BY REPEATEDLY STARTING VEHICLE, UNTIL EVENTUALLY IT JUST WOULD NO LONGER REGISTER A CHANGE IN SPEED AT ALL. NOW I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT SPEED MY VEHICLE IS TRAVELING. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I TOOK MY TAHOE IN FOR A STATE INSPECTION AND AS THE MECHANIC PULLED THE CAR INTO THE BAY, THE BRAKE LINE FAILED. HE COULD NOT STOP THE CAR. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TWO DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS WHO TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH GM. SURE ENOUGH. I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE. SOME WERE EVEN INVOLVED IN CRASHES. I AM GRATEFUL THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. $800 LATER, I HAVE MY TAHOE BACK. WHY IS GM NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? THIS IS A RUST AND CORROSION PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LINES BEING OPEN AND EXPOSED UNDERNEATH THE CAR. (MODEL YEARS 1999-2003) IS GM WAITING FOR A FEW FATALITIES TO FINALLY DO SOMETHING???? *TR

I'M VERY UPSET I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE THAT IT ONLY LASTED A YEAR SO IF I SPENT MY MONEY FIXING THIS AGAIN HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TILL IT BRAKES AGAIN. *TR

THE DASH HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG FOR NO APPARENT REASON. I AM AFRAID IF THE BAG DEPLOYS IT WILL THROW THE PIECE AS A PROJECTILE AND HIT THE PASSENGER. MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET, GM IS SELECTIVELY ASSISTING IN REPAIR. I WAS INFORMED THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME BECAUSE I HAVE AN AFTERMARKET RADIO AND ALARM, NEITHER OF WHICH IS ANYWHERE NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TR
