GM RECALL NUMBER: 16145 INDICATES ENGINE COOLING FAN FIRE IS POSSIBLE AND VEHICLES SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TO IDLE. OUR DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED IN NOVEMBER BUT PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE CORRECTION. THIS POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS MANY OF THESE TAHOES AFFECTED AND 3 OF THEM ARE K-9 VEHICLES THAT REQUIRE LONG PERIODS OF IDLING TO KEEP THE K-9 COOL. (I AM SURE THIS IS THE CASE FOR POLICE DEPTS. ACROSS THE US) I HAVE CALLED GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REQUESTING MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE RECALL PARTS PRODUCTION OR IF THERE IS ANYTHING THEY CAN DO FOR OUR K-9 VEHICLES SPECIFICALLY BEFORE THE WEATHER GETS WARMER AND I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY ASSISTANCE. I WAS TOLD THAT I SHOULD CONTINUE TO CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR INFORMATION. THEY GAVE ME A REFERENCE NUMBER TO MY CASE 8-2851903801. *THIS IS THE VIN I USED WHEN CONTACTING GM, NOTE WE HAVE OTHER VEHICLES WE WANT FIXED QUICKLY ALSO. WE HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE YET BUT THIS KNOWN PROBLEM PUTS LAW ENFORCEMENT AT RISK OF LONG RESPONSE TIME AND A SERVICE ANIMAL AT RISK FOR FATALITY OR HARM.

STEERING
I AM HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY STEERING WHEEL. IT STARTED OFF AS A FAIR CLICK WHEN TURNING LEFT. WITH TIME IT FOR PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AFTER 3 DAYS THEY STATED MY STEERING BEARING WAS BAD AND REPLACED IT. NO SOONER AFTER PICKING UP MY CAR (STILL IN THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT) I NOTICE THE SAME CLICKING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEEL. IT'S NOW BEEN 3 WHOLE DAYS AND NO ONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CAN FIND THE ISSUE. THEY DO ADMIT TO HEARING AND FEELING THE CLICKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL BUT REASSURE ME THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND I CAN COME PICK UP MY CAR AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE PROBLEM. I FEEL IT IS AN UNSAFE VEHICLE FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY TO BE IN. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADVISE ME WHAT TO DO. I REFUSE TO PICK UP MY CAR UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMPLETELY TAKEN CARE OF.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THIS STARTED AS A SMALL PROBLEM A YEAR AGO WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1600 TO GET IT REPLACED. THE FOUR CRACKS CONTINUE TO GET BIGGER AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR MANUFACTURER WILL RECOGNIZE IT FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN COSMETIC DAMAGE I NEED TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS DAMAGE. I CAN HEAR THE CRACK CONTINUE TO GET BIGGER BOTH WHEN IT'S PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN ALL CONDITIONS.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS FRACTURES OVER THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG AS WELL AS ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE FRACTURES ARE EMITTING A LOUD RATTLE FROM WITHIN THE DASHBOARD PREVENTING ADEQUATE CONCENTRATION WHILE DRIVING. THE FEAR OF A COLLISION RESULTING IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS ONE THING BUT I ALSO FEAR THAT THE FRACTURES IN THE DASHBOARD SHOWS THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD HAS FAILED AND PRESENTS A STRONG AND VALID POSSIBLY OF SAID FRACTURES SPLINTERING OFF AND BECOMING SHRAPNEL IN A COLLISION CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS A WIDELY KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE CHEVROLET TAHOE. I AM REQUESTING A FORMAL INVESTIGATION INTO THE FAILED INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD ON THE CHEVROLET TAHOE, YEARS 2007-2013

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
DASHBOARD HAS BEEN CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA, CONCERNING ME THAT IF GOD FORBID AN ACCIDENT HAPPENED AND THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED ON PASSENGER SIDE, SHARDS OF THIS CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD BE DISPERSED INTO THE AREA, CAUSING POSSIBLE LACERATION OR FATAL HARM TO PASSENGER AND DRIVER. WHEN INVESTIGATING, I FOUND THIS TO BE VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE MAKE AND MODEL, WITH MANY MANY PEOPLE( THOUSANDS OF THEM) POSTING PICTURES AND DESCRIBING THE SAME ISSUE IN "THE EXACT SAME SPOTS"!!!!. ALSO, THE CRACKS SEEM TO HAPPEN OVER THE STEERING COLUMN IN ADDITION TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, CAUSING MORE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT DRIVING COMPONENTS COULD NOW BE EXPOSED TO DAMAGING HEAT AND ICE RAYS AFFECTING DRIVING SAFETY. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO GM DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED CAR, AND THEY HAVE IGNORED ME. I HAVE ALSO CALLED CORPORATE, AND THEY HAVE ALSO OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 20,000 PEOPLE ON A WEB FORUM CALLED "CHANGE.ORG.", THAT HAVE EXPLAINED IDENTICAL CONCERNS FOR AIRBAG SAFETY WITH THESE CRACKING DASHBOARDS, AND THE PETITION HAS EVEN BEEN BROUGHT TO GM CEO ATTENTION. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILIES WELL-BEING AND LIVES, IF EVER I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THESE AIRBAGS DEPLOY. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IN THAT AREA COULD BE A POTENTIAL LETHAL WEAPON CAUSING HARM.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL. BETWEEN 2010/2011 SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS (FRONT AND BACK), DEPLOYED WHILE OPERATING VEHICLE IN OPTIMUM DRIVING CONDITIONS, AFTER A PASSING OVER A POTHOLE IN THE ROADWAY. I WAS TRAVELOING WITH MY THEN [XXX] SON AND DAUGHTER. IMEEDIATELY TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONLY TO WAIT OVER A MONTH, WITHOUT A VEHICLE, AND NEVER GIVEN THE OPTION OF A RENTAL OR LOANER VEHICLE. AS "CHEVROLET" INVESTIGATED THE ON-BOARD COMPUTER DATA, IT FALSELY READ THAT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DUE TO "ROLLOVER EVENT" DATA WAS SENT TO THE VEHICLES SRS SYSTEM. CHEVROLET THEN DEEMED THAT I WAS DRIVING OVER 95 MPH (WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO THE REV LIMITER), AND I HAD OVERSIZED WHEELS ON MY VEHICLE. WHEEL DIAMETER AND SIZE WERE NOT THE FACTOR, AS THEY WERE WITHIN 5/32" OF OEM STOCK DIMENSIONS. I WAS CHARGED FOR "TROUBLESHOOTING", AS WEWLL AS LABOR FOR THE REMOVAL OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS, AND THEY DECLINED THE CLAIM. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE HAD TO REYTURN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO AGAIN "WARRANTY" THE ECM, BCM, WINDOW REGULATOR (TWICE), AS WELL AS CHARGING SYSTEM FAULTS. MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS AGAIN DENIED SAYING IT WAS NOT WITHIN THE PARAMETERS OF THE COVERAGE. FULL EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUMPER TO BUMPER AND THIS WAS NOT COVERED? ALSO, THE DASHBOARD FRONT COWL IS CRACKED (KNOWN DEFECT, NO RECALL), CHROME PEELING OFF INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE, AS WELL AS STABILITRAK" COMPUTER ERRORS AND ISSUES (KNOWN ISSUE, NO RECALL) PARTS OF THIS DOCUMENT HAVE BEEN REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

THE LIFTGATE MALFUNCTION IS BOTH BIZARRE AND DANGEROUS. WHEN OPENED IT PROCEEDS TO DROP ABOUT A FOOT QUICKLY, ENOUGH TO CREATE SERIOUS HEAD CONTACT. IT THEN PROCEEDS TO CLOSE WITHOUT USE OF SENSORS, REPEATEDLY PINNING THE OPERATOR AGAINST THE BACK OF THE CAR. ONLY WITH STRENGTH AND AGILITY DID MY WIFE MANAGE TO SLIDE OUT THE SIDE. WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THE ONLY DAMAGE WAS A BRUISE ON HER LEG. IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE FOR AN OLDER, LESS AGILE PERSON. IT HAPPENS WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, ON OR OFF. THE DEALER PLANS TO REPLACE THE LIFTGATE ACTUATOR, BUT IT WILL BE AT OUR EXPENSE. CHEVY HAS DECLINED COVERAGE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER, WE DID NOT BUY IT FROM A CHEVY DEALER AND WE DID NOT PURCHASE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. THERE IS NO RECALL OUTSTANDING SO THEY HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO HELP US. HAD MY WIFE GONE TO A DOCTOR FOR THE BRUISE ON HER LEG CHEVY'S DECISION WOULD HAVE GONE TO A DIFFERENT SUPERVISOR, BUT WE DO NOT ACT THAT WAY. WE ARE JUST GRATEFUL THAT SHE HAD THE WHEREWITHAL TO ESCAPE FROM A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE PROBLEM, BUT IT IS NOT IN A FORMAT (IMOV) THAT CAN BE UPLOADED HERE. I WILL HOLD ON TO IT.
