ENGINE, POWER TRAIN, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
MY STRABILITRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL BEGAN FLASHING ON AND CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. THEN IT READS, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THIS BEGAN IN NOVEMBER 201. I HAVE TAKEN IT THREE TIMES TO BE FIXED. FIRST I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, THEN A SWITCH GEAR, THEN A FUEL INDUCTION CLEANING SERVICE. IT IS STILL HAPPENING, JUST TWICE THIS WEEK. THE ENGINE SLOWING DOWN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY PROVES TO BE DEADLY. IN REVIEWING COMMENTS IN THE CHEVROLETFORUM.COM MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SAME RESULTS (A GUESSING GAME) WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL?

SEAT BELTS
ON THURSDAY MAY 19TH AT 8:35 PM, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON I-696W WHEN MY DRIVER'S SEATBELT BELT DISENGAGED AND RETRACTED ON ITS OWN. WHILE DRIVING, I IMMEDIATELY TRY TO RECONNECT THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO IN. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RECONNECT. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE BUCKLE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME IN MY GARAGE AND PRECEDED TO GET OUT, THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT COME OUT. I HAD TO STRUGGLE AND PULL ON THE SEATBELT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO PUSH THE BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTON. AFTER 10 MINUTES, I WAS FREE. THE NEXT MORNING (5/20/16) WHILE GOING TO WORK, THE SEATBELT CAME OUT AGAIN. IT WOULD GO IN AND IF I MOVED FORWARD, THE BELT WOULD DISENGAGE. MY SEATBELT CONTINUED TO SLIP OUT OF THE BUCKLE. AS OF MAY 23RD, MY SEATBELT WILL NOT EVEN GO INTO THE BUCKLE. I CANNOT ENGAGE THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT AT ALL!! THESE SEATBELTS SHOULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD LAST THE VEHICLE LIFE.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH, AT THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNED OF THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION SINCE I PURCHASED IT NOR DO I DO ANY KIND OF OFFROADING ON ROUGH TERRAIN. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING, GOT IN THE TRUCK AND THE CRACK WAS THERE. THE EVENING PRIOR, THERE WAS NO CRACK IN THE DASH. I DO NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CAUSE OF THIS CRACK. WHILE DOING RESEARCH, I NOTICED THAT OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE HAVE EXPERIENCED AIRBAG FAILURES WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS AND AT LEAST ONE FATALITY. THE CRACK TENDS TO EXPAND WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT AND CONTRACTS TO ALMOST AN UNNOTICEABLE STATE WHEN COOL.

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD RUNNING PARALLEL WITH THE FRONT WINDSHIELD OF THE CAR. IT EXTENDS FROM DRIVER SIDE TO PASSENGER SIDE UP TO THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT ALSO SPLITS IN TWO SEPARATE AREAS OFF THE HORIZONTAL CRACK. ONE ABOUT 2 INCHES PERPENDICULAR TO THE LARGE CRACK NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE AND ANOTHER PERPENDICULAR CRACK CLOSER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT EXTENDS 1-2 INCHES AWAY FROM THE LARGER CRACK. MY CAR HAS BEEN STORED IN THE GARAGE FROM DAY ONE. I DID NOT NOTICE HOW LONG AGO THIS CRACK BEGAN.

AIR BAGS
TAHOE DASH IS CRACKING IN TWO SPOTS. THE FIRST IS ON THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. A VERY DANGEROUS SPOT FOR A JAGGED EDGE TO BE NEXT TO AN AIRBAG. THE 2ND IS A MUCH LARGER CRACK IN THE DASH THAT APPEARED A YEAR LATER OVER THE INSTRUMENT HUMP. I SEE MANY CASES OF TAHOE'S AND SUBURBAN'S ONLINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN I SEE ANOTHER TAHOE IN A PARKER LOT, I ALWAYS CHECK, AND 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES THEY HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME SPOTS. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP QUOTED ME $500 TO FIX. IT'S TIME FOR CHEVROLET TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY MESSED UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKED AND MY CONCERN IS IT WILL AFFECT THE AIRBAG IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. IT STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK AND NOW IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES. THERE WAS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

I HAVE A 2007 TAHOE THAT HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT SHOULD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOY, THE DASH PIECES WILL BECOME SHRAPNEL, CAUSING AVOIDABLE INJURIES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND IT TO BE DISTURBINGLY COMMON FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND METICULOUSLY CARED FOR. WILL GM BE MADE TO STAND BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES?

MUTABLE CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. THIS IS A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH 07 TO 11 GM'S. THERE WAS NO ABUSE OR REASON FOR THE CRACKS. THE CRACKS ARE CAUSING SHARP EDGES AND POINTS THAT ARE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. AS WELL AS EXPOSING INTERNAL EQUIPMENT THAT COULD LEAD TO FAILURE INCLUDING AIR BAGS.

TYPICAL CHEVY TAHOE DASH CRACKING ISSUE. IT WORRIES ME THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THAT SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC MAY CAUSE MORE HARM TO SOMEONE INSIDE THE CABIN THAN IF IT WAS ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED. GM IS AT FAULT FOR USING CHEAP MATERIALS AND THE CONSUMER SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY. IT ISN'T CAUSED BY ANYTHING THAT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS OR ISN'T DOING. PURELY MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. WE PAY $50K FOR THESE TRUCKS EACH THE LEAST GM COULD DO IS SPEND THE $500 IF THAT PER VEHICLE TO REPLACE IT.
