AIR BAGS
WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE I STARTED TO HEAR THIS CRACKING SOUND IN WHICH I NOTICED THAT THE CRACK WAS COMING ACROSS MY DASHBOARD. IT STARTED ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SIDE FROM THE AIRBAG AND CAME ALL THE WAY ACROSS TO THE DRIVER SIDE AND UP TOWARDS STEERING WHEEL. NOW IT JUST FLAPS WHILE DRIVING AS IT IS OPEN AND EXPOSED AND I AM VERY CONCERNED IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG SAFETY AT THIS POINT. MY TAHOE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION MIGHT I ADD. IRONICALLY MY SISTER HAS THE EXACT SAME CAR AS ME AND SHE HAS THE EXACT SAME CRACK IN HER DASHBOARD AS WELL STARTING AND ENDING IN THE SAME PLACE.

BOTH DOOR HANDLES ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE ARE THIS SILVER PLASTIC THAT HAS BEGAN TO PEEL UP JUST ON TOP OF THE HANDLE EXACTLY WHERE YOU GRAB TO OPEN THE DOOR. MYSELF AS WELL SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE SLICED THEIR FINGER OPEN PRETTY BAD ON MY DOOR HANDLES. VERY POOR QUALITY.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE AIRBAG AREA OF THE DASHBOARD. I REPORTED THIS TO GM IN MARCH 2016 AND THEY REFUSE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. TODAY, THERE IS A NEW CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD NEAR THE DRIVERS SIDE NOW. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO MY 2007 CHEVY AVALANCHE, AND IN 2010, GM REPLACED IT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES. NOW WITH THE TAHOE, THEY REFUSE. THE VEHICLE IS PARKED UNDER A GARAGE AWNING AND WE NEVER USE ANYTHING BUT A DRY RAG TO CLEAN THE DASHBOARDS. THIS IS NO FAULT OF OURS, AND APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHEVY MANUFACTURING.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN THREE PLACES. ONE IN CORNER SURROUNDING PASSENGER AIR BAG. COULD LEAD TO IMPROPER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. OTHERS AROUND "HUMP" CORNERS ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. VERY COMMON ISSUE FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. VEHICLE GARAGE KEPT. CRACKS OCCUR IN SAME LOCATION ON HUNDREDS OF CHEVROLET VEHICLES.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. WHAT IS ALARMING IS THERE ARE CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IF IT EVER DEPLOYS I'M AFRAID THERE WILL BE EXPLODING PIECES OF THE DASH GOING EVERYWHERE. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT GETS TIGHT AND WILL NOT RELEASE UNTIL FULLY RETRACTED.

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD RUNNING PARALLEL WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR. IT EXTENDS FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE UP TO THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT ALSO SPLITS IN TWO SEPARATE AREAS OFF THE HORIZONTAL CRACK. ONE ABOUT 2 INCHES PERPENDICULAR TO THE LARGE CRACK NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE AND ANOTHER PERPENDICULAR CRACK CLOSER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT EXTENDS 1-2 INCHES AWAY FROM THE LARGER CRACK. MY CAR HAS BEEN STORED IN THE GARAGE FROM DAY ONE. I DID NOT NOTICE HOW LONG AGO THIS CRACK BEGAN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT AND VARIOUS WARNING INDICATORS RANDOMLY FLASHED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER RANDOMLY SHORTED OUT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH. ALSO, THERE WAS A DRASTIC REDUCTION IN SPEED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY EXTREME FORCE TO THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE POWER STEERING ASSIST FAILED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO COAST THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE DUE TO THE SUDDEN FAILURE. AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO REVIEW THE DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000. UPDATED 07/12/16*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED SUDDENLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER. HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO FIND A PROBLEM. UPDATED 07/19/2016. *JB
