SERVICE BRAKES
THE STEEL BRAKE LINE FROM THE ABS UNIT TO THE REAR BRAKES HAS CORRODED AND IS LEAKING FROM ABOVE THE STEEL FRAME FORWARD FROM THE LEFT REAR TIRE. FORTUNATELY THIS OCCURRED AS I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AFTER DRIVING OVER 150 MILES ROUND TRIP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN CITY TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTERIOUS, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE IF THE LINE WOULD HAVE FAILED DURING THE TRIP! AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS BRAKE LINE FAILURE LOOKS LIKE IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM!

THE PURPOSE FOR THIS COMMUNICATION IS TO LET YOU KNOW I'VE BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE DASHBOARD ON MY CAR THAT MECHANICS BELIEVE WILL EFFECT THE AIRBAG. AT THIS POINT I'M AT A BIT OF A LOSS FOR WORDS AND UNDERSTANDING WITH THIS PARTICULAR SITUATION. THE DASHBOARD HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS THROUGHOUT. THE CAR HAS 87,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN GARAGED FOR ITS ENTIRE OWNERSHIP AND WELL MAINTAINED. THE BIGGEST ISSUE SURROUNDING THE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD IS THAT THEY'VE FORMED AROUND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG, WHICH MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS HAVE TOLD ME IS A SAFETY HAZARD. THAT BEING SAID, THE DEALERSHIPS AND THE ASSOCIATE I SPOKE TO AT CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE TEAM HAS SAID THEY'VE SEEN THIS ISSUE MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY'RE SURPRISED THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL ISSUED. I HONESTLY WOULDN'T CARE ABOUT THE CRACKS IF THEY WEREN'T SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG. PICTURES OF MY CAR INCLUDED. VIN NUMBER [XXX] AFTER RESEARCHING THROUGH MULTIPLE DEALERSHIPS AND ONLINE THERE SEEMS TO BE A LARGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS WITH THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND THERE ARE CURRENT LAWSUITS PENDING AGAINST GM, PLEASE FOLLOW THE LINK: HTTP://WWW.ABCACTIONNEWS.COM/MONEY/CONSUMER/TAKING-ACTION-FOR-YOU/ANOTHER-BIG-AUTO-MAKER-GETS-HIT-WITH-A-SUIT-OVER-CRACKING-DASH-BOARDS HTTPS://WWW.CHANGE.ORG/P/RECALL-2007-2013-VEHICLES-DUE-TO-THE-SAFETY-OF-CRACKED-DASHES IF THIS ISN'T ENOUGH CONCERN ON YOUR END TO CORRECT THE ISSUE AND ISSUE A RECALL I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS.

SERVICE BRAKES
WAS AT CHEVY DEALER TO LOOK FOR A NEW CAR, WHEN LEAVING PUT FOOT ON BRAKE AND PEDEL WENT TO THE FLOOR GOT OUT AND FOUND FLUID ON GROUND UNDER DRIVER SIDE. DEALER EXAMINED AND FOUND BLOWN BRAKE LINE, AND SAID ALL LINES WERE IN BAD SHAPE AND NEED TO REPLACE AT A COST OF $4200. HAD THEM REPLACE ONLY ONES THAT WERE LEAKING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE HEARD LOTS OF PROBLEMS FROM OTHER PEOPLE. CHEVY SHOULD BE CORRECTING THESE ISSUES.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
I LIVE IN A FAIRLY ARID CLIMATE, WHERE RAIN DOESN'T OCCUR FREQUENTLY. A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AFTER MY TAHOE HAD BEEN SITTING IN THE RAIN, I NOTICED WATER DRIPPING FROM THE INSIDE DOOR PILLAR WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. I JUST ASSUMED IT WAS WATER THAN CAME IN FROM THE OUTSIDE WHEN I OPENED THE DOOR. THEN ABOUT NINE DAYS AGO, WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN, WATER BEGAN DRIPPING FROM THE TOP CENTER CONSOLE AREA, IN A STEADY STREAM. WHEN I TOOK IT INTO THE CHEVROLET DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE SEAL ON THE HI-FREQUENCY ANTENNAE (SHARK FIN ANTENNAE), OVER THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS FAULTY, AND THAT WATER WAS LEAKING IN THROUGH IT. SINCE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL FOR MY VIN, AND SINCE RAIN WAS PREDICTED TO CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL DAYS, I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY $452.32 TO HAVE A NEW ANTENNAE INSTALLED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DID WHAT THEY COULD TO DRY THE AREA OUT IN BETWEEN THE ROOF AND THE CEILING AND LEFT THE COVER OFF THE SIDE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SO IT WOULD DRY, TELLING ME TO RETURN IN A WEEK SO THEY COULD REPLACE THE COVER ON THE AIRBAG. IN ADDITION TO BEING OUT A LOT OF MONEY, I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIDE AIRBAG POSSIBLY MALFUNCTIONING AFTER BEING WET OVER A PERIOD OF TIME.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ADJACENT TO CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PANEL AND ALONG TOP OF DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. CRACKED DASH CONTINUES TO EXPAND. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT SHARDS OF THE PLASTIC MAY BREAK OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT AND/OR DURING DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS, IMPALING THE PASSENGERS. THE SAD PART OF THIS IS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ALSO BECAUSE THEY ALL BROKE OFF FROM THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS THE HANDLE IN PLACE - NO RECALL ON THAT EITHER. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COST OF THE LTZ VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE DEFECTS ARE SAFETY ISSUES - MISHANDLING OF AIBAGS WHEN DEPLOYED AND SOMEONE ABLE TO ENTER YOUR VEHICLE THROUGH A BROKEN HANDLE!!!!!!!

I HAVE A LARGE CRACK GOING DOWN THE DASHBOARD OF MY TRUCK THE STEMS DIRECTLY FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE DEALER AS WELL AS CHEVROLET REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE WOULD BE SOME SORT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MY DASH WOULD EITHER IMPROPERLY SUPPORT THE AIRBAG AT EXPLOSION OR PIECES OF SCRAP PLASTIC WOULD FLY AROUND THE CABIN
