STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
MY DASHBOARD HAD CRACKED IN 2 PLACES. ONE IS RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIRBAG AND ITS FORCING THE WHOLE DASH TO SHAKE. I'M HOPING THE CRACKS DON'T AFFECT THE AIRBAG IF IT'S EVER NEEDED. I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE TAHOE DASHBOARD CRACKING. I'M WONDERING WHY THEIR ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS PIECE DUE TO THEM ALL CRACKING BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. *TR

NOT SURE IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I HAVE HAD AREAS OF CRACKING ON THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VEHICLE HAVE THIS CONDITION WITH ONLY 45000 MILES ON IT AND THE FACT THAT IT IS GARAGED FREQUENTLY. THERE IS ALSO PEELING OF SOME TYPE OF COATING IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

THE PASSENGER DOOR HANDLE BROKE FROM THE SCREW HOUSING AND NOT THE HANDLE ITSELF. CHEVY'S RESPONSE: PULL TOO HARD ON DOOR HANDLE, $ 200 REPAIR COST TO REPLACE HANDLE. THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL STARTED CRACKING AND RUNNING TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL. CHEVY'S RESPONSE: SOME TIME THE HEAT WILL DO THAT. $ 950 REPAIR COST FOR NEW DASHBOARD. MY TAHOE IS IN TOP SHAPE, WASHED TWICE A WEEK INSIDE AND OUT AND IS GARAGED? I DON'T KNOW WHY THE SIMPLE THINGS ARE SO CHEAP? *TR

POWER TRAIN
SUPPORT BRACKET WELD TO TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK TUBE BROKE. DIPSTICK TUBE LOOSE AND ONLY HELD IN PLACE AT TRANSMISSION. CAUGHT AT A GM LUBE LOCATION IN CHARLESTON, WV DURING ROUTINE LUBE AND OIL CHANGE. THEY STATED THEY HAVE SEEN AT LEAST 6 OF THESE BREAKS IN LATE MODEL GM SUVS. IN WORST CASE TUBE COULD POP OUT OF TRANSMISSION AND LEAKING TRANSMISSION OIL COULD HIT EXHAUST AND CAUSE A FIRE. MY FIX IS A SMALL HOSE CLAMP AROUND THE BRACKET AND TUBE TO HOLD IT IN PLACE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2011, AS I MOVED OVER TO PASS A CAR ON THE LEFT ON A 2-LANE HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR IN MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE BEGAN ACCELERATING AT A VERY FAST RATE ON ITS OWN AND "STUCK" . I HIT THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT DID NOT "UNSTICK" AND KEPT ACCELERATING. I AM NOT CERTAIN TO WHAT EXACT SPEED THE CAR REACHED DURING THIS TIME, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS IN EXCESS OF 80 MPH. SHIFTING THE CAR TO NEUTRAL BACKED IT OFF. AFTER PUTTING IT BACK IN DRIVE AND PUNCHING THE ACCELERATOR 3-4 TIMES WITH MY FOOT, THE CAR "UNSTUCK" AND SPEED REDUCED; NOT CERTAIN IF MY ACTION "UNSTUCK" IT BUT AT THIS POINT THE SPEED REDUCED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED AND IT WAS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION. VAN HORN CHEVROLET IN PLYMOUTH, WISCONSIN, CONFIRMED A DAY LATER THAT DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED A FAULT CODE AND THE SENSOR WAS FAULTY, AND THE SENSOR WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED. THE REPAIR INVOICE STATES "REPLACED ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR."

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE PURCHASED A NEW 2010 CHEVY TAHOE WITH A TRAILER PACKAGE. WHEN WE PLUGGED THE TRAILER PLUG IN, WE FOUND THAT THE NO ELECTRICITY WAS TRANSMITTED TO THE TRAILER LIGHTS AND BRAKES. WHEN WE BROUGHT TO VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALER, THEY INFORMED US THAT THE WIRES WERE NOT CONNECTED AT THE FUSE BOX. WE BELIEVE THIS IS SAFETY PROBLEM AND A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. EVEN WORSE THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THIS SAFETY DEFECT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY BECAUSE WE DID NOT ASK FOR THE WIRES TO BE CONNECTED TO THE FUSE BOX WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. WE WERE SHOCKED AT THIS CONVOLUTED ARGUMENT. THE MANUAL INDICATED THAT WE JUST AND TO PLUG THE TRAILER WIRES INTO THE TAHOE PLUG. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT COULD LEAD TO SAFETY PROBLEM IF SOMEONE JUST PLUGGED THEIR TRAILER WIRES IN AND LATER FOUND THEMSELVES WITHOUT TRAILER LIGHTS OR BRAKES. *TR
