ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DURING THE PAST SEVEN YEARS, AT RANDOM INTERVALS RANGING FROM DAYS, MONTHS AND YEARS, MY TAHOE WILL NOT START. I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY A CHEVROLET DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT AUTOMOTIVE SHOP. THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I STOP THE VEHICLE TO GET GAS, PARK IT TO GO SHOPPING OR TO A DOCTOR'S OFFICE. I NEVER KNOW IF IT IS GOING TO START OR NOT. I FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE AND SON WHEN THEY ARE OPERATING THE TAHOE IN CASE THIS HAPPENS TO THEM. AT FIRST, I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST MY VEHICLE. BUT, RESEARCHING THE INTERNET TODAY, I FIND THAT COUNTLESS OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH A VARIETY OF GM AND GMC VEHICLES -- PRIMARILY SUVS AND PICKUP TRUCKS. THERE ARE EVEN VIDEOS BY DRIVERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE EXPERIENCED: THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START. AFTER WAITING ANYWHERE FROM 10 MINUTES TO OVER AN HOUR AND CONTINUOUSLY TRYING, THE VEHICLES WILL START LIKE NOTHING WAS WRONG. I'VE HAD AAA MECHANICS WHOM I'VE CALLED TO TOW MY TAHOE WITNESS THIS MALADY. I FIRMLY BELIEVE GM/GMC SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND REPAIR THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC HAPPENS TO SOMEONE WHO CANNOT START THEIR VEHICLE WHEN THEY ARE IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION SUCH AS AT NIGHT OR IN AN INTERSECTION.

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS, ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE INJURY IF THE AIR BAG IS INFLATED. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS. THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS FAILED.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON BOTH SIDES WHERE TOP VENT MEETS CORNERS. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT TO CAUSE THIS, AND THE CRACKS HAVE GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS. MAKES HORRIFIC SCREECHING NOISE WHEN CAR IS IN MOTION. MAKES ME WONDER IF AIR BAGS WOULD DEPLOY CORRECTLY ON PASSENGER SIDE.

WATER INFILTRATION INTO THE DRIVER/PASSENGER COMPARTMENTS SOAKING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM/HEADLINER & DRIPPING DOWN INTO THE INTERIOR ON AT LEAST TWO OCCASIONS AND VIDEO TAPED BY MY WIFE. THE 2ND OCCURRENCE WAS 'AFTER' THE VEHICLE WENT TO THE DEALER TO BE FIXED FOR THIS VERY ISSUE. THESE INSTANCES HAPPENED DURING RAIN STORMS, BELIEVE ONCE WHILE DRIVING & ONCE WHILE PARKED IN OUR DRIVEWAY. I AM UNSURE OF THE SERVICE REPAIR DATES FOR THESE INSTANCES BUT BELIEVE IT WAS IN APRIL/MAY/JUNE OF 2016, THESE SERVICE RECORDS WERE SENT TO THE MINNESOTA ATTORNEY GENERAL IN A CLAIM I FILED IN JUNE 2016, OF WHICH THAT CLAIM IS BEING ADDRESSED BY PAUL MUELLER OF THE CONSUMER SERVICES DIVISION. PREVIOUS TO MY FILING WITH THE ATTY GEN I ATTEMPTED NEGOTIATINS WITH GM, OF WHICH A GM CASE NUMBER WAS CREATED. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE NEW AND AFTER THE WATER POURING IN I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH SAFETY ISSUES AS I HAVE HAD A TAHOE BURN DUE TO WATER INFILTRATION, OF WHICH WAS DETERMINED BY STATE FARM INSURANCE. I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH SAFETY, I'M VERY CONCERNED WITH FUTURE COSTS TO FIX ANYTHING THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE CAUSED, AND, THESE INSTANCES HAVE GREATLY REDUCED RESALE VALUE OF THIS NEW VEHICLE. I WANT GM TO EITHER REPLACE THIS VEHICLE, OR, GIVE ME A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR THIS VEHICLE FOR AS LONG AS WE OWN IT.

I BOUGHT THE 2009 USED CHEVY TAHOE ON AUGUST 1ST 2015. I BEGAN TO NOTICE THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD CLOSE TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG BEGAN TO CRACK AND VIBRATE. THE VIBRATION GOT SO BAD THAT THE CRACK SPREAD AND A NEW CRACK APPEARED ON THE PLASTIC DASH ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER. BOTH CRACKS MAKE THE ENTIRE DASH RATTLE WHEN THE CAR IS DRIVEN OVER 45 MPH. I AM WORRIED THAT IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, THE PLASTIC WILL FLY INTO THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I'VE TRIED CONTACT COVERT GMC IN AUSTIN, TX WHERE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID I HAD TO SPEND $1300 TO REPLACE THIS DEFECT.
