I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT NEAR THE AIRBAG AND ONE IN ONE THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINANTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT PUZZLES ME WHY CHEVY WOULD NOT DO A RECALL. MY 2011 IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF SO IT IS NOT NEGLECT ON MY PART.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AND 2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND SUBURBAN VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A BASE RADIO AND AN INTERNAL AMPLIFIER. THE RADIOS IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE, AND AS A RESULT, THERE WOULD BE NO AUDIBLE CHIME TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER IF THE DOOR IS OPENED WITH THE KEY IN THE IGNITION OR NO AUDIBLE SEAT BELT WARNING INDICATING THE SEAT BELTS WERE NOT BUCKLED. AS SUCH, THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NUMBERS 114, "THEFT PROTECTION AND ROLLAWAY PREVENTION," AND 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION."

SERVICE BRAKES
LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AT SLOW SPEEDS GOING FORWARD OR IN REVERSE. THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES VERY HARD TO DEPRESS AND MEANWHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL MOVING. ALSO THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO DEPRESS WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE IN THE MORNINGS WITH THE ELECTRONIC START BUTTON. I ALMOST HIT A PARKED CAR ON A PARKING LOT WHEN BACKING INTO A SPACE WITH A CAR IN THE SPOT BEHIND ME. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN APPROACHING A RED LIGHT TRAFFIC SIGNAL. I FIRST NOTICED THIS APPROX. A YEAR AGO, BUT THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A TEMP. FLUKE OF SOME KIND, BUT IT HAPPENED SPORADICALLY SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THEN. WHEN THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AT THE MALL ON 2/16/19, THAT WAS THE FINAL STRAW.... BETTER REPORT THIS BEFORE SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAPPENS.

THE DASH IS CRACKED ABOVE THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LOOKS AS IF IT IS SEPARATING ALONG THE SEAM DOWN TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE IS ALSO A CRACK AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT UNNECESSARY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE EXACT DATE SO I PUT WHEN I NOTICED IT IN THE DATE LINE.

TAKATA RECALL GM SUBMITTED TO NHTSA A PETITION FOR INCONSEQUENTIALITY AND NHTSA GRANTED GM UNTIL AUGUST 2017 TO COMPLETE ITS INVESTIGATION AND SUBMIT ALL DATA SUPPORTING THE PETITION. IT IS NOW BEEN17 MONTHS AND NO NOTICE OF THE DECISION HAS BEEN MADE PUBLIC. CERTIFIED SERVICE DEALERS I HAVE CONTACTED KEEP USING THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO TELL ME THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG AT THIS TIME. WHEN IS THE NHTSA GOING TO ISSUE A DECISION SO THAT I CAN GET MY CAR REPAIRED?

SERVICE BRAKES
VACUUM PUMP: BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY STIFF AND HARD TO BRAKE WHEN TRAVELING AT SLOW SPEEDS, BUT IT IS VERY SPORADIC. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO APPLY EXTRA FORCE TO THE BRAKES TO TRY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN AUGUST 2016 AND EXPERIENCED THIS A FEW MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY TAHOE IN EARLY 2017. THE DEALEARSHIP SAID THEY WERE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUES OR RECALLS AT THE TIME I CALLED. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE MY TAHOE, BUT WITH CAUTION AT SLOWER SPEEDS SINCE I DID NOT KNOW IF OR WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. I ULTIMATELY DECIDED TO BRING MY TAHOE IN FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AFTER IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND BEGAN HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY. I EXPERIENCED THE SAME STIFF BRAKE ISSUE AT THE CAR WASH RECENTLY ON 02/16/19 AND WHEN PARALLEL PARKING A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, ALMOST RESULTING IN ACCIDENTS IN BOTH CASES. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP ON 02/18/19 FOR AN ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING RECALL (UNREALTED TO THIS ISSUE) AND THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT WHEN I MENTIONED IT TO THEM. AFTER THE DIAGNOSIS IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE VACUUM PUMP WAS FAULTY AND IT WAS REPLACED.

I HAVE A CRACKED DASH NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, I'VE CONTACTED SEVERAL ENTITIES ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD IT COULDN'T BE REPAIRED DUE TO PROXIMITY TO THE AIR BAG, I THEN SEARCHED ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST GM DUE TO FAULTY INTERIOR DASH, IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, UTMOST DEFINITELY NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED.
