ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHILE DRIVING IN THE SUMMER, MY WIFE INFORMED ME THAT THE VEHICLE HAD STALLED AND ALMOST DIED--SHORTLY AFTER, THE AC WAS NOT WORKING. I LEFT WORK AND CAME TO HER--FOUND THAT THE COMPRESSOR BELT HAD SHREDDED OFF. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY REPLACED COMPRESSOR. A MONTH LATER, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE INTERSTATE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AND JERKING. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED. I TRAILERED THE VEHICLE TO OUR HOME A FEW MILES AWAY. I DID NOTICE THE LONG BOLT HOLDING THE NEW COMPRESSOR WAS LOOSE (1/4" SPACE BETWEEN BOLT HEAD AND WASHER). THE BOLT WAS TIGHTENED, BUT DID NOT APPEAR TO BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. WHEN IDLING, THE ENGINE JERKS SO HARD THAT THE ENTIRE CAR SHAKES-THE ENGINE NEARLY DIES.. FOR SOME TIME, THE VEHICLE HAS PRODUCED AN UNUSUAL PURRING/CLICKING NOISE WHILE NAVIGATING THRU A PARKING LOT OR SOMETHING AT SLOW SPEEDS--SOUNDS LIKE IN THE TRANSMISSION OR TORQUE CONVERTER? THE VEHICLE IS BEING TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP NOW FOR THEIR DIAGNOSIS.

THERE ARE CRACKS ALONG THE DASHBOARD THAT SEEM AS IF THEY WOULD CAUSE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE LAUNCHING PIECES OF THE DASH IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

IS GETTING TO A POINT THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT, I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY PLACE THEY KEPT IT FOR 8-10 THROUGH 8/17, PICK IT UP AND THE VERY NEXT DAY THE TRUCK BEGAN STALLING, DROPPED IT OFF ON A MONDAY 8/21, CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT ON FRIDAY 8/25 AND THEY SAID THEY CAN'T FIX IT BUT THEY ARE GOING TO KEEP IT OVER THE WEEKEND TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN DO. I LOVE MY TRUCK BUT AFRAID OF IT...I FEEL I AM RISKING MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THE OTHER DRIVERS WHILE I AM ON THE RODE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS STARTED CRACKING AND IT IS AT DEALER NOW AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THIS IS ONLY ONE THEY EVER HEARD OF AND THEY CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT BUT IT IS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE THAT I'VE ONLY PUT 20 SOME THOUSAND MILES ON AND IT WAS SOLD TO ME WITH FULL WARRANTY AS A NEW ONE AND AFTER LOOKING ON SEVERAL WEBSITES IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM, AFRAID IF IT KEEPS CRACKING IT MAY GET RIGHT INTO MY INSTRUMENTS AND ELECTRICAL OR WORSE CONTINUE INTO MY AIRBAG , SURELY THERE IS SOMETHING CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS AND THE DISTRACTION FROM THE DASHBOARD FLOPPING UP AND DOWN CAN LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT, IT ONLY TAKES A MOMENT FOR SOMETHING BAD TO HAPPEN. PLEASE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO INFLUENCE A DECISION ABOUT THIS, DO SO IT COULD MEAN THE DIFFERENCE IN A LIFE MAYBE

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR. I HAD TO REPLACE THE A/C COMPRESSOR ON MY 2015 TAHOE ABOUT DURING JULY 2015. MY VEHICLE HAS ABOUT 65,000 MILES. THIS WAS UNUSUAL IN THAT I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE THIS PART IN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE USING AFTER MARKET REPLACEMENT PARTS BECAUSE THE GM SUPPLY CHAIN IS OUT OF A/C COMPRESSORS BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING SO MANY OF THEM IN TAHOE/YUKONS, SILVERADO PICKUPS AND CADILLAC ESCALADES. THE PART COST ME ABOUT $1,400 TO REPLACE THE PART. I CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE I WAS BEYOND WARRANTY. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT MY SITUATION IS NOT AN ISOLATED CASE BUT PART OF LARGER SYSTEMIC ISSUE IN GM MANUFACTURING. IF GM SUPPLY CHAIN CANNOT KEEP COMPRESSORS IN STOCK BECAUSE THEY ARE REPLACING SO MANY DEFECTIVE PARTS, THIS RISES TO THE LEVEL OF BEING A RECALL.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE 2011. IT WAS REPLACED BY GENERAL MOTORS AT ED MORSE SAWGRASS CHEVROLET IN SUNRISE, FL IN APRIL OF 2014 DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE MATERIAL CAUSING THE DASHBOARDS TO CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. NOW THE NEW DASHBOARD THAT WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE IN 2014 IS CRACKING IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE ORIGINAL DASHBOARD. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND ED MORSE SAWGRASS CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECT, BUT REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM STATING IT IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING, IT IS CAUSING SHARP LOOSE PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT CAN IMPALE THE OCCUPANTS IN A SUDDEN STOP AND/OR COLLISION. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED DUE TO WEATHER EXPOSURE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND LAWSUITS ARE PENDING THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES DUE TO THE PROBLEM. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE PROBLEM IS STATED IN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PIP4568S & #10-06-01-008M THAT GM SENT OUT REGARDING AFN LIFTERS FAILING DUE TO OIL STARVATION. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND SENT OUT THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO DIAGNOSE IT AND FIX IT. HOWEVER THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM IN THE 5.3L ENGINES AND A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM! IN MY SITUATION IT CAUSED A SOAK PLUG AND THE SPARK PLUG HOUSING TO BLOW COMPLETELY OUT OF THE ENGINE! WHICH COULD HAVE INJURED SOMEONE OR CAUSED DAMAGE TO SOMETHING IF IT HAD GOTTEN OUT OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I WAS ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY GOING 50 MPH WITH HIGH TRAFFIC. AS STATED THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND GM WON'T EVEN COVER ANY PORTION OF THE COST TO FIX IT! IN MY CASE I ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 4 MONTHS AND HAD THIS HAPPEN. I AM NOW PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN BARELY DRIVE AND SHOULDNT BE DRIVING! AT ANY MOMENT THE WHOLE ENGINE COULD BLOW UP BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE IT UNTIL I HAVE THE $4000 TO FIX IT! GM SHOULD HAVE TO COVER REPAIRS OR AT LEAST A PORTION OF THE COST OF REPAIRS! I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB REGARDING THIS PROBLEM FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES EFFECTED BY PIP4568S & #10-06-01-008M. YET GM WILL NOT HELP CONSUMERS IN ANY WAY AT ALL WITH THE EXPENSIVE COST OF THIS REPAIR! WITH THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN IT SHOULD BE A RECALL! THERE COULD BE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES THAT OTHER OWNERS COULD HAVE HAD ALSO. THIS KNOWN PROBLEM ALSO EFFECTS OTHER FUNCTIONS OF THE VEHICLE SUCH AS STABILITAK SYSTEM. WHEN THIS SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING THE VEHICLE HITS BUMPS AND THROWS THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD MAKING STEERING THE VEHICLE VERY HARD TO CONTROL. THIS AN ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR.

CRACKED DASHBOARD BOUGHT MY 2013 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ. HAS ONLY 98000 MILES ON IT. JUST NOTICED A CRACK AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE DASHBOARD, RIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. TWO WEEKS LATER, ANOTHER CRACKED APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE, FROM THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD AND CONTINUED UP AND OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HUMP. BOTH CRACKS APPEARED WHILE STATIONARY. THIS VEHICLE IS PRIMARILY GARAGED AND HAS A WINDSHIELD COVER. VERY DISAPPOINTED, SINCE THE NEW RETAIL OF THIS VEHICLE IS CLOSE $50,000 BRAND NEW AND COSTS OVER $1000 TO REPLACE AT THE DEALER. NOT TO MENTION, THIS IS OUR PRIMARY FAMILY VEHICLE, WHICH MY WIFE, 7 YO, 4 YO AND 6 MONTH OLD RIDE IN ON A DAILY BASIS.
