THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COVER TO THE AIR VENT UNDER THE WINDSHIELD. THE CRACK WAS NOT VISIBLE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED IN MAY 2018 BUT HAS SINCE APPEARED AND GROWN AS OF JULY 2018 DURING REGULAR CITY DRIVING. WE HAVE CONCERNS THE CRACK MAY INTERFERE WITH NORMAL DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG OR CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASH TO BECOME PROJECTED THROUGH THE CABIN UPON AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I DO NOT KNOW IT THE CRACK STARTING WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I KNOW IT HAPPENED IN MAY 2018. IT IS CRACKING MORE EVERYDAY. THIS IS MY DREAM CAR AND I THINK IT'S A SHAME TO PAY THIS KIND OT MONEY FOR SUCH A EXPENSIVE CAR AND IT STARTS FALLING APART. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NOTHING BUT CHEVY BUYERS WE HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF BLAZERS AND TAHOE AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM . MY HUSBAND'S TAHOE IS A 2004 . LOOKS GREAT. ALSO ON THE 2013 TAHOE THE DOOR PULL IS BROKE AND THE DEALER SAID I HAD TO BUY THE HOLD DOOR PANEL THST WOULD BE OVER $500. I ONLY NEED THE THE PULL HANDLE NOT THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL. THIS IS NONSENSE. IS CHEVROLET GETTING CHEAP ON THEIR QUALLTY . THIS WILL MAKE BE LOOK INTO OTHER VEHICLES (FORD, TOYOTA, JEEP , ETC. ## VIN PASSED ## CHEVY TAHOE 2013 ##

TAKATA RECALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I HAD TO SLOW DOWN AS I PRESSED ON THE BREAK THE BREAK PADDLE BECAME HARD TO PRESS DOWN AND THE VEHICLE IS DOES NOT WANT TO SLOW DOWN OR STOP IN A TIMELY MANNER WHICH IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE. THE. BREAK ASSISTANCE COMES ON THE DRIVE DASHBOARD. I BELIEVE IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AFTER 30 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE POWER ISSUES CAUSING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. EXAMPLE, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70MPH THE ISSUES WOULD HAPPEN WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES OR TURNING ON A BLINKER, THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOOKS CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD CREATE A STARTLING POP IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE SPEAKERS, THE RADIO CUT OFF AND RESTARTED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE THEN STARTED TO STUTTER LOOSING POWER. STABILITRACK AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER SAFELY PULLED OVER, CUT VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE, NO ISSUES OR POWER PROBLEMS. PROBLEM WOULD THEN RANDOMLY HAPPEN. RANDOM NO POWER ISSUES - LIKE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. TESTED BATTER - IT WAS OK. PROBLEM BECAME SPORADIC AND RANDOM. DTC SHOWED RANDOM ISSUES WITH ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (C0710 -STEERING POSITION SENSOR), PARK ASSIST MODULE (U0073, B1325 - DEVICE POWER 1 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION) AND PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (B1000- ECU MALFUNCTION) IDENTIFIED GROUNDS TO BE VERY BAD CONDITION AT BATTERY NEGATIVE TO ENGINE AND FRAME, AND DRIVER SIDE UNDER BODY GROUND AT THE FRAME.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO (USED, BUT IN GREAT CONDITION) - WITHIN A MONTH MY DASH HAD CRACKED. NOTHING THAT I DID AT ALL! MY NORMAL DRIVING EVERYDAY KEEPS ME WITH 20-30 MILES MAXIMUM, ON VERY WELL MADE ROADS (NOTHING EXTREME). I PAID TO GET IT FIXED (THE FIRST TIME) AND NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I PAID TO GET IT FIXED, THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T INSTALL THE DASH CORRECTLY AND THEN SAID THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT IT WAS MESSED UP AND DEMANDED THAT I PAY FOR IT. I REFUSED AND SAID THAT I WAS DONE WITH IT. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ABOVE MY AIRBAGS, AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 YEARS THAT MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED.

CRACKED DASH - THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKING HAPPENED INSIDE ON THE DASH. IT HAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES: (2) ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND (2) AT THE AIR BAG. WHEN DRIVING, I NOTICE THERE IS NO SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE OF DASH, IT BOUNCES AND MAKES THE CRACKS WORSE. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET TAHOE AND RESEARCHED ONLINE FOR SAME MAKE AND MODEL ABOUT RECALLS AND THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THE CRACKS IN THE DASH. THERE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, BUT AGAIN NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. CRACKING AT AIRBAG IS HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A RECALL DUE TO THE CRACKS AT THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY 2009 HYBRID TAHOE ACCELERATES UNCONTROLLABLY ON OCCASION. THE ISSUE ARRISES COMMONLY IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WHEN THE HYBRID SYSTEM STARTS/STOPS THE GASOLINE ENGINE REGULARLY. I NOTICE IN MANY CIRCUMSTANCES WHEN SWITCHING GAS/ELECTRIC MODES THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD. THE FEELING IS THE SAME AS LETTING OUT THE CLUTCH QUICKLY ON A VEHICLE WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION. I HAVE DONE AS MUCH RESEARCH AS I CAN AND IT APPEARS THE PROBLEM POINTS TO ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP(S) AND/OR CONTROL MODULES. WHEN THE SYSTEM OPERATES ON THE GAS ENGINE, THE HYBRID TAHOE'S TRANSMISSION RELIES ON AN ENGINE DRIVEN HYDRAULIC FLUID PUMP. WHEN THE SYSTEM SWITCHES TO ELECTRIC MODE, AN AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP TURNS ON, DRIVEN BY AN INDEPENDENT ELECTRIC MOTOR. THE LURCH I DESCRIBED RESULTS FROM WHAT I BELIEVE TO BE A FAILING PUMP OR CONTROL MODULE, OR A COMBINATION OF THE BOTH WHICH ENGAGES GEARS WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. THIS LURCH IS RATHER DANGEROUS AS I HAVE HAD TO JUMP ON THE BRAKES MANY TIMES TO AVOID REAR ENDING OTHER DRIVERS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS WHO OWN, DRIVE OR HAVE DRIVEN THESE GMT900 SERIES HYBRIDS (2008-2013 CHEVY TAHOE/SILVERADO HYBRIDS, GMC YUKON HYBRIDS, CADILLAC ESCALADE HYBRIDS) ALL INDIVIDUALS HAVE DESCRIBED THE DREADED LURCH. SOME SAY REPLACING THE ELECTRIC AUXILIARY TRANSMISSION FLUID PUMP SOLVES THE PROBLEM, OTHERS STILL HAVE LURCHING ISSUES. ONE INDIVIDUAL WHO DRIVES A CADILLAC ESCALADE HYBRID CLAIMED TO HAVE ACTUALLY REAR ENDED SOMEONE DUE TO THE UNCONTROLLABLE LURCH. AS FOR MY PERSONAL CAR, THE LURCH OCCURS IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC AND OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK, SOMETIMES MORE. THANKFULLY I HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT YET, HOWEVER I FEEL ONE MAY BE IMMINENT. HERE IS A LINK TO A TAHOE/YUKON OWNERS FORM WHERE I HAVE SHARED SOME OF MY FINDINGS: HTTPS://WWW.TAHOEYUKONFORUM.COM/THREADS/HYBRID-TRANSMISSION.104102/

AIR BAGS
"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY CAR OVER TWO YEARS AGO FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS MADE BY TAKATA. WHEN I ASKED MY DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT I WAS TOLD AT THE TIME THERE WAS NOT A FIX. EVERY TIME I RETURN FOR SERVICE I ASK ABOUT THE RECALL AND I AM TOLD THE SAME THING. TWO YEARS IS TOO LONG SINCE IT COULD AFFECT MY FAMILY. I HAVE TWO KIDS AND I AM SCARED EVERY TIME WE GO IN MY CAR FOR FEAR OF THE AIR BAG EXPLODING AND KILLING MY FAMILY WITH FLYING METAL. TWO YEARS US WAY TOO LONG. REPLACE THE BAGS AND KEEP PEOPLE SAFE AND PREVENT LAWSUITS FROM HAPPENING.
