FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FIRST THE FUEL GAUGE STOPPED WORKING ON AND OFF WOULD GO TO E WHEN ON FULL TANK. THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DAYS LATER. THEN VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING WHILE DRIVING, AND WOULD SHUT OFF. ENGINE WOULD START AND DRIVE AGAIN, THEN STOP RUNNING AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON HWY, THEN ON CITY STREETS. VEHICLE IS IN GM SHOP NOW, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE PART.

MY DASH CRACKED OUT OF THE BLUE ONE DAY ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. IT STARTED OUT AS TWO SMALL CRACKS ON EACH SIDE OF THE TOP CENTER VENT BY THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE THE 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ VERSION WITH A SPEAKER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THE SPEAKER DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY SUPPORT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER AND THE DASH CRACKS HAVE NOW GROWN TOWARDS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO BY THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACKS ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CENTER SPEAKER AND NOW THE SPEAKER JUST CONSTANTLY FLOPS UP AND DOWN WITH NORMAL DRIVING. THE FLOPPING SPEAKER WITH NO (SUPPORT) IS CAUSING THE CRACK TO GET WORSE AND WORSE. THE CRACKS ARE SPIDER WEBBING NOW AND GETTING MUCH LONGER EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT TO WORK. WHILE RESEARCHING WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT MULTIPLE GM MODEL VEHICLES HAVING CRACKED DASH BOARDS BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2007 AND 2014. THE DASH COVER OPTION BEING SUGGESTED TO HIDE THE CRACKS IS IN NO WAY A SAFE AND RELIABLE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT INTERFERES WITH THE MANUFACTURERS AIRBAG SAFETY DESIGN AND AND SPECIFIED ASSURED CLEARANCE FOR DEPLOYMENT. THE COVERS DO NOT ADHERE TO THE RATED SPECIFICATION OF THE AIR BAG. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WORKED IN A PLANT WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE MANUFACTURED KNOWS HOW PRECISE AND SPECIFIC THESE STRICT GUIDELINES AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE HELD TO.

DASH CRACKED ON MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAGS IN ABOUT THE YEAR OF 2013. IF THE AIRBAGS SHOULD DEPLOY, THE DASH WOULD MOST LIKELY SEND SHARDS OF THE DASH FLYING. THE DASH CRACKED AND SPLIT AROUND THE AIRBAG WITHOUT ANY ANYTHING SETTING ON THE DASH. THE TAHOE HAS BEEN LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA.

VEHICLE DASHBOARD HAS BEGAN TO CRACK IN MULTIPLE AREAS IF THE DASH. MAINLY ON THE PORTION AROUND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND ONE AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE OFTEN AND IT HAS TINT TO REDUCE HEAT INSIDE AND I USE A WINDOW SCREEN TO KEEP DIRECT SUNLIGHT OFF THE DASH ALONG WITH CONDITIONER TO KEEP THE PALSTICS FROM CRACKING.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE
THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 2 AREAS. ONE AT THE AIRBAG AND OVER THE SPEED ODOMETER GAGE AREA. I ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL DASH-KNEE BOLSTER BECAUSE IT BECAME LOOSE AND BROKE INTO HUNDRED PIECES WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PRESS IT BACK INTO PLACE. BAD MATERIAL - TOO BRITTLE

I OWN A 2018 CHEVROLET TAHOE PREMIERE WITH THE RST 6.2L PERFORMANCE PACKAGE. THIS VEHICLE HAS THE OPTIONAL PERFORMANCE FRONT BRAKE UPGRADE SYSTEM. I RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING RECALL: GM PROGRAM # N182155600, CUSTOMER SATISFACTION PROGRAM #18119 - SPARE TIRE DOES NOT FIT OVER PERFORMANCE FRONT BRAKE KIT. THE VEHICLE HAS A 17 INCH SPARE TIRE WHICH WILL NOT FIT OVER THE FRONT BRAKES WHEN EQUIPPED WITH THE PERFORMANCE BRAKE KIT. THE SOLUTION PROPOSED BY CHEVROLET FOR A FLAT FRONT TIRE IS A DUAL TIRE CHANGE (REPLACE A REAR TIRE WITH THE SPARE AND MOVE THE REAR TIRE TO THE FRONT). THE CHEVROLET DEALER IS TO PRINT AND INSTALL AN INSERT TO THE OWNER'S MANUAL DESCRIBING THIS DUAL TIRE CHANGE. THIS SOLUTION COMPROMISES SAFETY, ESPECIALLY IF THE DUAL TIRE CHANGE HAS TO OCCUR ON THE SIDE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY. IT DOES NOT MEET MY EXPECTATIONS FOR A PREMIUM SUV. CHEVROLET SHOULD PROVIDE A SPARE TIRE (FREE OF CHARGE) THAT WILL FIT OVER THE PERFORMANCE FRONT BRAKE KIT. AN APPROPRIATE SPARE TIRE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE FRONT BRAKE UPGRADE OPTION. I CALLED THE CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER REGARDING THIS ISSUE. THEIR REPRESENTATIVE WAS RUDE AND NO HELP AT ALL. HIS ONLY REPLY WAS THAT I NEEDED TO TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH MY CHEVROLET DEALER. SO I DID THAT AND THE DEALER CHECKED WITH THEIR CHAIN-OF-COMMAND WITHIN CHEVROLET. THEIR ZONE REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING ELSE THEY COULD DO OTHER THAN PROVIDE THE OWNER'S MANUAL INSERT. MY COMPLAINT IS NOT WITH THE DEALER. I DO NOT EXPECT THEM TO PROVIDE AN APPROPRIATE SPARE TIRE AT THEIR COST. A RIM AND TIRE FOR THIS VEHICLE (THAT WILL FIT OVER THE PERFORMANCE FRONT BRAKE KIT) IS VERY EXPENSIVE. MY COMPLAINT IS AGAINST GM AND CHEVROLET CORPORATE REGARDING THEIR UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE TO THIS PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE DESIGN OF THE BACK PASSENGER DOORS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE SHAPE OF THE DOOR IS IN A POINT AND NOT ROUNDED, IT IS NOT COVERED IN PLASTIC OR RUBBER. MY 3 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE OVER THE WEEKEND AND STARTED TO RUN TOWARDS THE SIDEWALK AND STRUCK HER FOREHEAD ON THE POINTED END OF THE DOOR CAUSING A DEEP GASH THAT BLEED PROFUSELY.... SHE HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE ER FOR SUTURING. VERY POOR DESIGN FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS TYPICALLY PURCHASED BY FAMILIES WITH KIDS.

*TAKATA RECALL* I HAVE BEEN NOTICING A LOT OF DIFFERENT ISSUES WITH MY 2017 TAHOE PREMIER. THE ENGINE BLOCK IS A DEEP RUST COLOR. ENGINE IS EXTREMELY HOT EVEN HOURS LATER AFTER PARKING. THERE IS A THICK BLACK SLUDGE THAT IS ON NEARLY EVERY PART UNDER THE TRUCK. I STARTED HEARING A TICKING NOISE THAT SPED UP AS MY DRIVING SPEED INCREASES. THIS ISSUE OCCURS OFTEN BUT NOT DAILY. AS WELL AS WHEN TURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY IT MAKES A HIGH PITCHED POPPING NOISE ( THE SOUND IS SIMILAR TO A SMALL ROCK BEING FLUNG ONTO THE ALUMINUM WHEEL) I ALSO HEAR GRINDING NOISES WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN. METAL AGAINST METAL IS AS BEST AS I CAN DESCRIBE IT. I DECIDED TO LOOK UNDER THE HOOD AND CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL AND IT APPEARS FINE. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK OTHER LEVELS ASIDE FROM THE WINDSHIELD FLUID SO I WILL BE FORCED TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. WHILE I WAS UNDER MY TRUCK I NOTICED HOW THERE WAS A LOT OF RUSTED PARTS. THE (IF I AM CORRECT) EXHAUST HOUSING LOOKED NEARLY BURNED AND THE PRODUCT STICKER THAT IS ON THERE IS 100% BITES. AS IF SOMEONE PUT A LIGHTER TO IT. NOT SURE WHAT ALL THE GUNK IS THAT IS CAKED ON EVERYTHING BELOW THE TRUCK BUT IT CAN'T BE A GOOD THING FOR SURE. ALSO, I FOUND A BOLT WEDGED BETWEEN AN AREA. WHY IS THERE A BOLT AND WHERE DID IT COME FROM? DOES THIS MEAN I HAVE MISSING PARTS ON MY ENGINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE? MY TRUCK RUNS SO HOT BUT NO LIGHTS HAVE COME ON. THIS EVENING AFTER SEEING WHAT I DID MADE ME FEAR THE THOUGHT OF DRIVING MY TRUCK THAT I PAY A HEFTY PAYMENT ON. IT HAS 12,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE HAD IT ONE YEAR AND AWAYS GET MY SERVICES DONE ON TIME WITH OIL CHANGES AND SO FORTH. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS ISSUE OR BETTER YET ISSUES. WHO'S GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AND HO LONG BEFORE SOMEONE RECALLS MY TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE !?

I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN MY DASH ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER A YEAR AGO. IT HAS NOW GROWN TO SEVERAL CRACKS ABOVE BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAG. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY VEHICLE, EVEN PURCHASED THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND THE POOR QUALITY OF THE DASH COULD PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING CORRECTLY.
