FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE DEVELOPED A FUEL LEAK AT THE DISCHARGE OF THE FUEL PUMP. THE LEAK OCCURRED ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK DIRECTLY BELOW THE LEFT REAR PASSENGER SEAT. THE LEAK SPRAYED FUEL ALL OVER THE GAS TANK AND BOTTOM OF THE TRUCK BODY. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ATOMIZED FUEL STARTING ON FIRE. THE DRIVER OR PASSENGERS COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY BURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE LEAK OCCURRED. I NOTICED A VERY STRONG SMELL OF FUEL, I PULLED OVER AND GAS WAS DRIPPING OFF OF THE FUEL TANK. THE FUEL LINE DEPRESSURIZED AFTER THE ENGINE WAS SHUT OFF AND CONTINUED TO SPRAY GAS FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS.

THE REAR DEFROSTER TAB HAS POPPED OFF THE REAR WINDOW, THIS RENDERS THE REAR DEFROSTER UNUSABLE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS PREVALENT IN CHEVY TAHOES AND SUBURBANS AS WELL AS GMC YUKONS. A SIMPLE SEARCH REVEALS THOUSANDS OF PAGES ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND GM NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

TAKATA RECALL - OUR VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ON 07/06/2016,WE WENT TO RENEW REGISTRATION AT DMV AND THEY WOULD NOT GIVE OF TAGS TO PLACE ON PLATE DUE TO AIRBAG RECALL. I HAD TO GET A TEMPORARY RED CARD FOR VEHICLE WHICH EVENTUALLY WOULD EXPIRE. SINCE AUGUST 2016 EVERY OTHER MONTH I CALLED PUENTE HILLS DEALER AND CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER TO GET VEHICLE SERVICED. EITHER ONE HAD INFORMATION AS WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRS. IT IS NOW 04/04/2017 AND STILL NO PARTS AND NO TAGS FOR MY VEHICLE. LAST NIGHT I GOT PULLED OVER FOR NO TAGS. I PROVIDED RECEIPT OF PAYMENT FOR REGISTRATION AND ALL DOCUMENTS ON RECALL AND TEMPORARY REGISTRATION, THE OFFICER WAS NICE ENOUGH TO LET ME GO. HE DID MENTION VEHICLE CAN BE TOWED AWAY. I CALLED PUENTE HILLS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING TO SCHEDULE SERVICE FOR RECALL AND RENE RODRIGUEZ TOLD ME PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX ANY VEHICLES ON THIS RECALL DUE TO NO PARTS SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE 07/2016. I ALSO SPOKE TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO HELP ME. THEY WOULD LIKE ME TO GET IN WRITING FROM DMV WHY I CAN NOT GET MY TAGS.

AIR BAGS, STEERING
WITHIN LAST 90 DAYS DASH HAS DEVELOPED CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, WHICH RUNS ALL THE WAY TO THE BOLT ATTACHMENT POINT. ALSO CRACKED ABOVE DRIVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL (IN MOTION OR NOT) HAS A SLIGHT RUBBING SOUND, AND I AM TOLD BY REPAIR SHOP THAT IT IS THE WOUND WIRE IGNITION LINE TO THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT BOTH DEFICIENCIES IN DESIGN AND MANUFACTURING, COULD PREVENT AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, OR CASE THEM TO GO OFF WITHOUT A FRONT END IMPACT TO THE SENSORS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MODEL YEARS, AND GM ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE, UNLIKE FORD & TOYOTA. THIS IS NOT A MILEAGE ISSUE, IT IS A PLASTIC INTERIOR PART, AND UNRELATED TO MILEAGE. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED AND NOT PARKED IN SUN FOR LONG PERIODS.
