DEFECTIVE CRACKED DASHBOARD. THE CRACK CONTINUES TO EXTEND AND IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD POTENTIALLY PUNCTURE THE AIR BAG, GREATLY COMPROMISING SAFETY. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRITTLE DASHBOARD COULD BECOME SHARP FLYING PIECES IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET IN MAY 2018 TO REPORT THE CRACK AND WAS GIVEN A QUOTE FOR ALMOST $2000.00 TO REPLACE THE DASHBOARD. PLENTY OF DATA SHOWS THAT THE DEFECT OF GM DASHBOARDS CRACKING IS WIDESPREAD, HOWEVER, GM FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR FAULT AND RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. I AM CONTACTING YOU AS A CONCERNED OWNER AND LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND THAT OF MY FAMILY. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED BY GM OR THE GM DEALERSHIP THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, THEY ALL HAVE TURN A BLIND EYE TO THE ISSUE. I HOPE THIS MESSAGE DOES NOT FALL IN DEAF EARS AND YOU CAN ASSIST ME IN SOLVING THIS HAZARDOUS SITUATION I AM IN DUE TO GM LACK OF CONCERN FOR SAFETY.

AIR BAGS
MY VEHICLE HAS HAD AN AIRBAG RECALL FOR 2 YEARS. CHEVROLET REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR IS AN ISSUE. THEY KEEP SAYING THE AIRBAG IS SAFE. YET MY VEHICLE REMAINS ON A LIST FOR RECALL. AT WHAT POINT ARE THEY GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO HONOR THE RECALL? OTHER CAR MAKERS HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED AN ISSUE AND FIXED THE RECALL. WHEN YOU ASK THE CHEVROLET SPOKESPERSON IF THEY WOULD PUT A LOVED ONE IN THE SEAT WITH THE AIRBAG RECALL THEY SIMPLY STATE THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. THEY REFUSE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. HOW CAN A NATIONAL RECALL BE ISSUED BUT A COMPANY SUCH AS GM NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THE ISSUE AND LET THIS LINGER FOR YEARS.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE LINES HAVE RUSTED THROUGH AND CAUSED AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION. WHILE ON A FAMILY VACATION TO THE OUTER BANKS THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND A REPAIR SHOP TO LOOK OVER THE BRAKE SYSTEM AFTER REFILLING THE MASTER CYLINDER WITH BRAKE FLUID. THE REPAIR SHOP FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE BRAKES AND SAID SOMEONE PROBABLY FORGOT TO BLEED THE BRAKES AFTER SERVICING THEM. SINCE IT WAS A RECENTLY PURCHASED VEHICLE AND WE DIDN'T KNOW THE HISTORY OF WORK PERFORMED WE THOUGHT THIS WAS POSSIBLY THE ISSUE. AFTER DRIVING ANOTHER 50 MILES OR SO THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN FOR THE SECOND TIME. THIS TIME MY FAMILY AND I WERE ON THE WAY TO THE STATE FAIR. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND ONE LINE TO BE COMPLETELY RUPTURED AND ALL OTHERS TO BE SEVERELY RUSTED. I NOW PLAN TO REPLACE ALL BRAKE LINES BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS USED AGAIN. I OWN MUCH OLDER VEHICLES WITH BRAKE LINES IN PERFECT SHAPE. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT CHEVROLET BRAKE LINES USED IN THIS MODEL AND YEAR HAVE HAD ABNORMALLY HIGH BRAKE LINE CORROSION AND FAILURE COMPARED TO OTHER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED DURING THE SAME TIME PERIOD. I AM WONDERING WHY THIS ISSUE HASN'T BEEN BROUGHT TO THE PUBLICS ATTENTION AND WHY NO RECALL? THE BRAKE LINES WERE OBVIOUSLY MANUFACTURED WITH INFERIOR MATERIALS OR WORKMANSHIP OR BOTH. THANKS

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE FUEL CONTROL MODULE ON THE 2009 GMC TAHOE HAS MALFUNCTIONED FOUR TIMES SINCE WE PURCHASED THE TAHO, IT HAS FAILED AS WE ARE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY COMPROMISING OUR SAFETY, IT FAILS WITHOUT WARNING, GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND HAS ONLY RECALLED THE EARLY MANUFACTURED VEHICLES, 27000 TO BE EXACT, HAVE TRIED TO TELL GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THE LAST TIME IT FAILED WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY ABOUT 65-70 MILES AN HOUR WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT, AND THE FUEL SYSTEM JUST SHUT DOWN...THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MANUFACTURED PART THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE WATERPROOF, BUT THE SEAL FAILS AND SHORTS OUT THE FUEL SYSTEM. THIS IS THE RECALL ON THE EARLY PART OF THE YEAR VEHICLES: GM IS RECALLING 27,188 MY 2009 CADILLAC ESCALADE, ESCALADE HYBRID, ESCALADE ESV, AND ESCALADE EXT; CHEVROLET AVALANCHE, SUBURBAN, TAHOE, TAHOE HYBRID, AND COLORADO; AND GMC YUKON, YUKON HYBRID, YUKON XL, AND CANYON VEHICLES. THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULES MAY HAVE A CONDITION IN WHICH AN ADHESIVE SEPARATION OF THE ROOM TEMPERATURE VULCANIZING (RTV) SEAL BETWEEN THE SEAL AND THE HOUSING MAY ALLOW WATER TO SEEP INTO THE MODULE.

SERVICE BRAKES
BRAKE VACUUM PUMP LOSES PRESSURE WHEN BRAKES PRESSED REPETITIVELY. WHILE IN TRAFFIC I REAR ENDED ANOTHER MOTORIST DUE TO BRAKE PRESSURE LOSS. CAUSING DAMAGE TO BOTH VEHICLES. NO INJURIES DUE TO LOW SPEED BUT EVEN AT HIGH SPEEDS BRAKE PRESSURE IS LOST, IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS DEPRESSED REPEATEDLY YOU LOSE ALL BRAKE ASSIST. VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR RECALL REGARDING ABS SOFTWARE UPDATE BUT BRAKES STILL FEEL HORRIBLE. TSB WAS ISSUED TO VEHICLES UNDER 72000 BUT ONLY BEGAN THIS YEAR. CURRENT TSB DOES NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. I CONTACT THE GM REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT COVER MY VEHICLE ONE MAKE EXCEPTIONS.THIS NEEDS TO BE A FULL RECALL OF THE VACCUM PUMP, VACUUM LINE AND MASTER CYLINDER LIKE STATED IN THE TSB. SOMEONE CAN DIE FROM THIS ISSUE IF GOING DOWN HILL AT SPEED.
