UNKNOWN OR OTHER
ON MONDAY 05/25/15 MY HUSBAND NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE WATCHED IN THE PAST COUPLE DAYS IT GROW IN SIZE AND HAVE TAKEN PICTURES TO DOCUMENT IT TOO. I AM UPSET AS THIS IS A NEW CAR I PURCHASED USED FROM A GM DEALER. I HAVE READ THAT ANOTHER CRACK IS SOON TO BE EXPECTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AIRBAG AND CAUSING IT TO POSSIBLE DEPLOY OR DEEMED UNUSABLE. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND NO SAFETY IS A CONCERN. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED QUICKLY.

SUSPENSION, STEERING
DURING PURSUIT TRAINING A 2013 TAHOE SUFFERED A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE WHEEL SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY. THIS IS THE THIRD IDENTICAL INCIDENT IN THE PAST MONTH. THE OTHER TWO VEHICLES WERE 2014 POLICE PURSUIT TAHOES. IN ALL INSTANCES THE FRONT WHEEL ASSEMBLY FAILED DURING A TURN. THE RACE OR INNER DUST COVER FOR THE WHEEL BEARING ASSEMBLY SEPARATED. THIS RESULTED IN THE BEARINGS COMING LOOSE, AND THE WHEEL SUBSEQUENTLY FOLDING UNDER. IN TWO INSTANCES THE VEHICLE WAS IN DANGER OF A ROLLOVER SITUATION. THIS OCCURRED DURING EMERGENCY VEHICLE TRAINING AT A REGIONAL ACADEMY AND THE VEHICLES BELONGED TO TWO DIFFERENT POLICE AGENCIES. THE TWO PRIOR INCIDENTS INVOLVED VEHICLES WITH UNDER 5000 MILES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OVER A PERIOD OF 2 WEEKS, ABOUT 4 TIMES, WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC INCLUDING FREEWAY. A SUDDEN LOST OF ALL POWER, DASH GOES BLANK WHILE DOOR LOCKS LOCK AND UNLOCK, IN A BLINKING SEQUENCE. THIS HAPPENS IN A TIME PERIOD UP TO 10 SECONDS, THEN THE CAR CONTINUES DRIVING WITH NO PROBLEMS OR INDICATOR WARNING LIGHTS. TOOK TO DEALER THEY TEST DROVE AND PUT ON COMPUTER, AND NOTHING HAPPENED. LEFT IT THERE 2 WEEKS NO RESULTS. IN BLOGS THERE ARE SUGGESTIONS THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS TO OTHERS, THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT COMPUTER RESETS ITSELF AND WIPES MEMORY CLEAN, BECAUSE OF POWER LOSS. THEY TO TAKE TO MECHANIC NOTHING SHOWS UP. THIS IS SIMILAR SYMPTOMS REPORTED ON RECALL #14515, BUT MY CAR IS 1 YEAR OLDER. IT INVOLVES THE CHASSIS COMPUTER. MY QUESTION HERE IS IF THE COMPUTER IS DIFFERENT FROM MY MAKE AND MODEL. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM 2 OF THE 4 TIMES THIS HAPPENED I WAS PULLING ON TO FREEWAY OR CHANGING LANES LOSING POWER. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR WITH HER 2 TWINS IN BACK SEAT. I HAVE NOW EXHAUSTED ALL I CAN FOR A REMEDY WITH GM, THE DEALER WHO CAN NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEM. STARTED A CASE FILE WITH GM # [XXX]. NO REMEDY OR RESOLUTION. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I WAS DRIVING UP A GRADE DURING A SNOW STORM AND WHEN I TRIED TO SELECT 4WD I HAD TO TAKE MY EYES OFF THE ROAD TO FIND THE 4WD CONTROL KNOB,WHICH IS HIDDEN BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE I NEARLY WRECKED WHILE TRYING TO LOCATE THE 4WD CONTROL KNOB. I BLAME THIS ON FAULTY ENGINEERING BY GM! *TR
