I OWN A 2010 CHEVY TAHOE, WHICH IS IN PRISTINE CONDITION AND TAKEN CARE OF REGULARLY. THERE IS A CRACK ON MY DASHBOARD THAT IS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY. WHEN TAKEN TO THE CHEVROLET DEALER WHERE MY VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED THEY WANT $450 TO REPAIR! THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
AT SLOW SPEEDS CAR DIES SHUTTING OFF ALL ELECTRIC POWER AND LOCKING US IN THE CAR. STEERING WHEEL JERKS AND CAR DIES. BACKED OUT INTO HIGHWAY AT NIGHT TWO NIGHTS AGO AND CAR DIED IN MIDDLE OF ROAD WITH NO LIGHTS. THERE WAS ENOUGH OF A HILL TO LET THE CAR ROLL OFF OF HIGHWAY OR MY FAMILY COULD HAVE DIED. CAR HAS AROUND 60K MILES ON IT. HAVE READ OTHER ISSUES SIMILAR TO THIS. NO EVIDENCE ON COMPUTER WHEN WE TAKE IT TO DEALER. WE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN AT LEAST FIVE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. THE LAST ONE WAS THE WORST AND MOST DANGEROUS.

I OWN A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE. LAST WEEK, I NOTICED MULTIPLE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG; THEY SEEMED TO HAVE APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT BEFOREHAND THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FROM THE LAST TIME I HAD USED IT, TO THE NEXT TIME I ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE DASHBOARD CRACKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PRESTON CHEVROLET, A NEARBY GM DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER THAT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE, ALTHOUGH HE HAD SEEN IT IN THE PAST.. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN OR PROVIDE ANY SORT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ME IN HAVING THE DEFECTIVE, DAMAGED DASHBOARD REPAIRED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT IT IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM, AND WHAT'S MORE, THAT CHEVY TAHOE'S ARE THE 'COMMON DENOMINATOR.' I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MISLEAD BY PRESTON CHEVROLET. I'VE SINCE CONTACTED GM AND I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM A "SENIOR CASE ADVISOR." I AM PRIMARILY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. IN THE EVENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION, I AM CERTAIN THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE HURTLED INTO THE AIR, BECOMING DANGEROUS PROJECTILES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR HARM, NOT TO MENTION THE POOR AESTHETIC APPEARANCE AND OVERALL DEVALUATION OF MY VEHICLE THAT THE FRACTURES HAVE CAUSED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I FEEL I AM OWED REPAIR AND/OR RESTITUTION FROM GM AS A RESULT.

AIR BAGS
DASH HAS CRACKED IN (2) PLACES THAT COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES WITH AIR BAGS IF BAGS WERE NEEDED TO DEPLOY. VEHICLE HAS 38K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT, SO SUNLIGHT DAMAGE AND ARMOR ALL PROTECTANT ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY
MY TAHOE STILL LOOKS LIKE A NEW VEHICLE AND IS PAID FOR SO I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT BUT I AM SO CONCERNED WITH THE WAY THE DASH HAS CRACKED. IT STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND IS CRACKED IN 4 DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. IN ONE SPOT YOU CAN LIFT THE DASH COMPLETELY OPEN. I HAVE 6 GRANDCHILDREN AND DO NOT LIKE HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT STRUCTURES IN MY VEHICLE POTENTIALLY INJURING THEM OR ANYONE ELSE THAT MAY GET INJURED FROM AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIR BAGS MAY BE DEPLOYED. YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE COMPANY WOULD RECALL SUCH A DEFECT BESIDES WAITING FOR A LAWSUIT FOR POSSIBLE INJURIES OR DEATH RELATED TO THIS ISSUE!!!! THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER A SHED AND DOESN'T GET DRIVEN THAT OFTEN. THE FIRST CRACKS NOTICE WERE WHEN THE CAR WAS STATIONARY!!

THE DASH OF MY 2010 CHEVY TAHOE HAS CRACKED AT THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MY CONCERN IS FOR THE STABILITY OF THE DASH AND OF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED WILL THE DASH PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG CAUSING IT NOT TO INFLATE. THE CRACKS STAYED SMALL BUT WITH VIBRATION HAVE GROWN TO A FULL HOLE IN THE DASH ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE HAVE A 2010 TAHOE. 3 YEARS AGO WE REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THE FOLLOWING ISSUES. 1. EVERY 3-4 MONTHS THE CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING. DOOR LOCKS, LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC TURN ON AND OFF RAPIDLY WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF POWER, STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES BECOMES STIFFI. IT HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM SHOCKED THAT WE DIDN'T CRASHED. OTHER TIMES WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING 15-40 MPH. 2. BATTERY DIES WHEN CAR IS PARKED. 3. KEY REMOTE SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE LOCATION WHERE THE NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW ONE. ISSUES CONTINUE SO WE STARTED TO DO RESEARCH. WE FOUND OUT THAT SOME CHEVROLET VEHICLES HAVE ISSUES OF COMPATIBILITY WITH THE NEGATIVE CABLE OF AFTER-MARKET BATTERIES SO WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ELDERSBURG MD. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH WE TOLD THEM WHAT WE HAD FOUND IN OUR RESEARCH. WE PAID SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR LABOR AND WHATEVER THEY SAID THEY DID.... WE ARE STILL HAVING THE ISSUES. TODAY IT DID IT AGAIN. MY HUSBAND SAID TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND WIGGLE THE NEGATIVE CABLE. I GO TO WORK JUST TO FIND THE CAR DEAD AFTER 2 HOURS LATER. WE READ SOMEWHERE THAT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT DOCUMENTED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IF YOU KNOW IF ANYONE AT CHEVROLET THAT CARES OR KNOW OF SOMEONE THAT CAN ACTUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE THE INFO. THANK YOU!

STEERING
WHEN MAKING A RIGHT TURN VEHICLE LOSES POWER STEERING. DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME COMES AND GOES. IF YOU GIVE VEHICLE A LITTLE GAS IT WILL START WORKING AGAIN BUT THAT'S NOT ALWAYS AN OPTION. I NOTICE IT MOST IF MY VEHICLE IS MOVING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED OR STOPPED. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO OFFER ANY IDEAS ON FIXING IT.

THE DASH BOARD ON MY TAHOE 2000 WITH 1999 BODY STYLE IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THE PROBLEM IS IT IS IN SHARDS AND CONTINUES TO FALL APART. IT IS EFFECTING MY DASHBOARD, THE FRONT PANEL WITH GAGES, MY AIR CONDITIONER, HEATER, RADIO. I HAVE CALLED THE COMPANY AND HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LIST OF COMPANIES TO CALL BUT NO HAS THE DASH. I NOLONGER ALLOW MY GRANDCHILDREN. ELDERLY PARENTS OR ANYONE TO RIDE WITH ME. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THE SHARDS WOULD PROBABLY DISFIGURE OR KILL SOMEONE. I NEED A DASHBOARD. THE AREA OVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS IN WORST CONDITION AND THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED. PLEASE HELP ME REMAIN SAFE ON THE ROAD.

I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALERSHIP OVER THE PAST YEAR THAT MY DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG HAS BEEN CRACKING. THEY STATED THAT IF IT BEGINS TO CRACK AROUND AIRBAG, THAT IT COULD CAUSE A SAFETY CONCERN. IT HAS NOW CRACKED AROUND THE AIRBAG AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A DISRUPTION IN AIRBAG/FLYING DEBRIS TOWARDS PASSENGER IF IT WERE TO DEPLOY (POSSIBLE SEVERE INJURY OR EVEN DEATH). THE DEALERSHIP STATED THERE ISN'T A RECALL FOR THIS AS IT'S COMMON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN IN GM VEHICLES BUT THAT IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE AND THAT SOMETIMES THEY WILL COVER THE COST.

I RECENTLY STARTED TO NOTICE AN ODOR COMING FROM THE AIR DUCTS, WHILE RUNNING MY AIR CONDITIONER. I CALLED UP A LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP, HOPING THEY MAY SCHEDULE ME FOR A SERVICING OF MY CABIN AIR FILTER. I CALLED THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, TO WHICH THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID, IN FACT, CARRY THE PARTS NEEDED (USING MY VIN). I SCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT BUT STILL HAD A FEW QUESTIONS AND ASKED IF I MAY SPEAK WITH A SERVICE ADVISER/TECHNICIAN (IT TOOK ME A WEEK BEFORE I WAS CALLED BACK). I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH AN ADVISER THAT, AFTER SPEAKING WITH ONE OF THE TECHNICIANS, INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A CABIN AIR FILTER, THUS, THERE IS NO NEED TO HAVE IT SERVICED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT MY VEHICLE DID NOT HAVE A CABIN AIR FILTER INSTALLED, HOWEVER, IT DOES HAVE THE HOUSING/SLOT FOR ONE. I PURCHASED A CABIN AIR FILTER AND COVER. THE DIRECTIONS SEEMED SIMPLE ENOUGH THAT I DID NOT NEED TO TAKE IT ANYWHERE AS I AM SOMEWHAT MECHANICALLY INCLINED. I WAS APPALLED BY WHAT I FOUND WHEN I REMOVED THE SEAL. TEN YEARS OF STANDING WATER, LED TO AN INFESTATION OF MOLD AND BACTERIA, THAT I AND ANY PASSENGERS HAVE BEEN BREATHING IN. ATTACHED ARE PICTURES I TOOK AFTER CUTTING OUT THE SEAL TO INSTALL A CABIN AIR FILTER. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL EXPLANATIONS AS TO WHY THIS WAS NEVER ADDRESSED AND WHAT GM MAY RECOMMEND SO THAT THIS MAY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT MY YEAR AND MODEL OF TAHOE (ALONG WITH OTHER MODELS THAT DO NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH A CABIN AIR FILTER) IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS FLAW, AND CANNOT SEE HOW ANYONE WOULD CONTINUE TO SIT IN, LET ALONE DRIVE IN, A BACTERIA/DISEASE-RIDDEN VEHICLE. EMAIL SENT TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE (TO WHICH THEY INFORMED ME THAT BASED ON MY VEHICLES AGE AND MILEAGE, THAT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO ASSIST ME.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR STOPPED MOVING. IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION IT WAS AS IF IT WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS WAS TERRIFYING, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE CAR POPPED INTO GEAR AND SHOT FORWARD. I NOW HAVE NO REVERSE AND UNSURE WHICH GEARS MIGHT WORK, AS I IMMEDIATELY GOT IT HOME. I AM A DISABLED VETERAN ON A LIMITED INCOME AND NO AM FACING POSSIBLY HUGE EXPENSES FOR TRANSMISSION REPAIRS THAT I NOW HAVE READ HAVE BEEN COMPLAINTS ON MY CAR FOR YEARS! I CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW GM/CHEVROLET DOESN'T SEE TRANSMISSION ISSUES AS A SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS TRANSMISSION HAS HAD WAY TOO MANY COMPLAINTS. HAVING NO WARNING AND THE INABILITY TO BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR IN AN INTERSECTION COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC!! ALOS WHEN CALLING A LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY SHOULD BE BETTER INFORMED ABOUT ANY TSB'S AS TO INFORM CONSUMERS. I JUST THANK GOD MY FAMILY IS SAFE, HOWEVER AM NOW OUT OF A CAR. THANKS GENERAL MOTORS/CHEVROLET, LOOKS LIKE YOURE LOSING ANOTHER LOYAL CUSTOMER.
