TWO DASHBOARD CRACKS ON 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE, 1 OF WHICH IS DIRECTLY GOING TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. IF THIS AIRBAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED, IT WILL SEND THE PIECES OF THIS DASH FLYING THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE IDENTICAL CRACKS ON THESE GENERATION VEHICLES WITH NO SUPPORT FROM GM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

AIR BAGS
I WAS TRAVELING AT ABOUT 50 MPH ON AN ASPHALT ROAD, AND FOR NO REASON AT ALL, MY SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS SUDDENLY DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON AT ALL.. THE ROAD HAD NO POTHOLES, AND MY VEHICLE HAD NOT VEERED FROM THE ROAD. I COULD NOT SEE THE CURB BECAUSE ONCE INFLATED, THE AIRBAGS WOULD NOT DEFLATE AND IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT MANEUVER MY VEHICLE OUT OF TRAFFIC AS I COULD NOT SEE FROM ANY OF MY SIDE WINDOWS. I ENDED UP HITTING THE CURB AT ABOUT 40 MPH, AND FLATTENED BOTH PASSENGER TIRES AND SEVERELY DENTING BOTH RIMS AS WELL. HAD A MORE UNEXPERIENCED DRIVER LIKE MY DAUGHTER BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME, THIS MALFUNCTION COULD HAVE EASILY COST US WITH HER LIFE. I WAS ON A SMOOTH ROAD, TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, IN VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC. THERE WAS NO REASON WHATSOEVER FOR THESE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY! I SPOKE WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND AFTER GIVING MY VIN, THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS, BUT THAT IT WASN'T TECHNICALLY A RECALL YET, BECAUSE THEY HAVE YET TO FIND A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, WHEN I SPEAK TO CORPORATE, THEY COMPLETELY DENIED ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ANYONE EVER HAVING SUCH A PROBLEM. YET WHEN I LOOK ONLINE AT TAHOE FORUMS, THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT THAT I SEE ON EVERY SINGLE SITE, IS THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS DEPLOY FOR NO REASON AT ALL...

A/C CONDENSER FAILED ON A 2 YEAR OLD CHEVROLET TAHOE. PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AS SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD 1-2 WEEKS FOR THEM TO GET THE PART BUT IT HAS NOW BEEN 2 MONTHS WITH NO ETA AVAILABLE. HEAT INDEX HAS NOW REACHED 105-110 MULTIPLE DAYS IN HOUSTON AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO A/C IN THIS CONDITION. CHEVROLET CUSTOMER CARE HAS BEEN CONTACTED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WILL NOT PROVIDE RENTAL CAR, COMPENSATION, OR ANY SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROBLEM.

AC WENT OUT IN MID-MAY. DEALERSHIP STATES IT'S A CONDENSER ISSUE. NATIONAL BACK ORDER BECAUSE SO MANY HAVE HAD SAME ISSUES. BAD WELD ON PART AND OEM IS NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. BEEN WAITING FOR ALMOST 2 MONTHS FOR PART TO COME IN. VEHICLE OUT OF WARRANTY, GM RECOGNIZES ISSUE WITH PART BUT WILL NOT ISSUE RECALL. I DRIVE A TON FOR WORK (IN A SUIT) AND HAVE MY 3 YEAR OLD SON RIDING AT ALL OTHER TIMES. GM WILL NOT OFFER COURTESY VEHICLE AND WANTS TO STICK ME WITH $1200 BILL. THEY KNOW THERE'S A PROBLEM AND WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

SERVICE BRAKES
METAL BRAKE LINES RUSTED AND CORRODED. LINES PLACED IN AN AREA OF THE VEHICLE WHERE THEY WILL RUST AND CORRODE THEN CAUSING THEM TO BURST AT VERY UN-OPPORTUNE MOMENTS. CAUSING WRECKAGE. MY VEHICLE LOST ITS BRAKES ON A HIGHWAY WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME CAME TO A STOP TO TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY, WAITING FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE TO CLEAR. I STARTED BRAKING AND LOST MY BRAKES, SO I TOOK THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. I GOT MYSELF HOME AND LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A NUMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN ARIZONA ARE CONTINUING TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH 2012-2017 CHEVROLET TAHOE PPV'S ON HIGH TEMPERATURE DAYS. THE PROBLEM MANIFESTS ITSELF AT TEMPERATURES ABOVE 100 DEGREES, EXHIBITS LACK OF ACCELERATION PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND STALLING WHEN BOTH IN MOTION AND SITTING IDLING. THE, ISSUE, FOR THE ORO VALLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT WAS FIRST DIAGNOSED IN THE SUMMER OF 2015 AND INCLUDED VEHICLES IN OUR FLEET FROM 2012'S THROUGH 2015'S. THIS SUMMER, MORE VEHICLES EXHIBITED THE ISSUES TO INCLUDE 2016'S INCLUDING ANOTHER AGENCY'S 2017 THAT BECAME AN ITEM OF DISCUSSION AT A GM CONFERENCE ON FLEET VEHICLES HELD UP IN PHOENIX. GM SPENT APPROXIMATELY A YEAR AND A HALF TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM TO EVENTUALLY DETERMINE THAT THE FUEL PUMPS NEEDED TO BE REDESIGNED ALONG WITH A NEW HIGH PRESSURE FUEL LINE. WE HAVE HAD SOME VEHICLES RECEIVE THE NEW PUMPS, BUT NOT ALL AS THE ISSUES WENT AWAY AS THE TEMPERATURES WENT BELOW 100. AT THIS DATE WE ARE NOT SURE IF THE "FIX" IS LIMITED TO 2015'S AND 16'S AND ARE LEFT WITH POSSIBLE ISSUES WITH 2012-2014'S. AT A GM CONFERENCE ON 6/29/17, IN DISCUSSION WITH THE REGIONAL FLEET SALES REP FOR GM, WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE NO REDESIGNED FUEL PUMPS AND HIGH PRESSURES HOSES AVAILABLE IN THE U.S. AND NO TIME TABLE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF SAME. IT WAS LEARNED AT THE GM CONFERENCE THAT NUMEROUS AGENCIES ARE EXPERIENCING THE ISSUES. OUR DEPARTMENT HAS DOCUMENTATION THAT WOULD FAIRLY CLEARLY SHOW THAT THE ISSUES DESCRIBED ARE OCCURRING TO CIVILIAN CHEVROLET TAHOES ALSO. INDICATIONS ARE GM CONTINUES TO PUT OLD FUEL PUMPS ON VEHICLES PRODUCED AFTER THE REDESIGN. THE POOR ACCELERATION AND STALLING IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERN FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. GM HAS BEEN LESS THAN HELPFUL IN CORRECTING THE OVERALL PROBLEMS AND LESS THAN FORTHCOMING ABOUT THE EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALL OVER, AND THERE IS EVEN A HOLE WHERE IT CRACKED SO BAD THAT A PIECE FELL OFF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A NUMBER OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA ARE EXPERIENCING ONGOING PROBLEMS WITH 2011-2015 CHEVROLET TAHOE POLICE PURSUIT PACKAGES ON HIGH TEMPERATURE DAYS. THIS ISSUE MANIFESTS ITSELF IN TEMPERATURES ABOVE 100 DEGREES AND FREQUENTLY WHEN THE TAHOE IS ENGAGED IN A LEFT TURN MOVEMENT. THE TAHOE STUTTERS AND/OR STALLS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ACTIVATES, AND IF THE TAHOE WILL RESTART IT CONTINUOUSLY BACKFIRES, MISSES, AND WILL NOT RUN ABOVE 15MPH FOR A PERIOD. CHEVROLET HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE AND STATES THE SOLUTION IS A HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL LINE WHICH IT DOES NOT HAVE IN STOCK. AT PRESENT, THE PIMA COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT HAS AT LEAST 10 VEHICLES OUT OF SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE. ANOTHER LOCAL AGENCY, THE ORO VALLEY POLICE DEPARTMENT, HAS HALF OF ITS FLEET AFFECTED. OTHER AGENCIES EXPERIENCING THESE ISSUES INCLUDE THE PHOENIX POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE SCOTTSDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE MESA POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE MARANA POLICE DEPARTMENT, AND THE MARICOPA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE. CHEVROLET HAS BEEN SLOW TO RESPOND TO THIS ISSUE WHICH DATES TO 2011. CHEVROLET'S STRATEGY APPEARS TO BE ONE OF PACIFYING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES UNTIL THE HOT SEASON IS OVER AND THEN THE PROBLEM IS IGNORED FOR ANOTHER YEAR. THIS ISSUE IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS FACING THE RISK OF A STALLING VEHICLE WHILE TURNING LEFT IN THE FACE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE PERSONALLY EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE ON TWO OCCASIONS.
