I AM VERY CAREFUL AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES, BUT THIS ONE HAS A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT IS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. FROM TALKING WITH A FEW PEOPLE THAT OWN THE SAME MODEL THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM GM. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY MAJOR POT HOLES OR APPLIED ANY PRESSURE WHAT SO EVER TO THE DASH. NOW IT'S SO BAD THAT IT RATTLES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WITH GM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR.

THE MAGNETIC RIDE STRUTS ON MY TAHOE LTD ARE FAILING. SEEMS TO BE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THE DISCUSSION BOARDS ARE FULL OF FAILURES BEGINNING IN THE 30,000 MILES. THEY ALSO APPEAR TO BE THE MOST EXPENSIVE STRUT ON A CHEVROLET. SAME STRUT AS A CADILLAC ESCALADE OR A GMC YUKON DENALI. WHICH APPEAR TO HAVE A HIGH FAILURE RATE. ALSO FOUND ON HIGHER END GMC AND CHEVROLET PICKUPS.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DEPRESS AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO STOP. SEEMS LIKE THE BRAKE BOOSTER IS FAILING TO APPLY PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM. HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS SO I WANTED TO DOCUMENT ONE MORE CASE TO PUSH GM FOR A RECALL. MY FAMILY ALMOST HAD A BAD CRASH THE OTHER DAY DUE TO THIS AND NOW IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. ABS IS NOT ACTIVATING TO CAUSE THIS, IT IS MORE A LACK OF BOOST IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM. WE ONLY HAVE 40,000 MILES ON OUR TRUCK.
