I AM AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS FLYING OBJECTS COULD INJURE ME MORE. I JUST NOTICED THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHEVY TAHOES. PLEASE HELP US TAHOE OWNERS. THANK YOU! *TR

I CAME OUT TO START MY CAR ONE DAY AND NOTICED THAT MY DASH BOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. IT SEEMS LIKE IT HAPPENED OVER NIGHT THERES A HUGE CRACK SPLITTING INTO ANOTHER ONE ABOVE MY STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE CREASE OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WHICH IS CAUSING IT TO LIFT AND LOOKS LIKE IT COULD SET OFF THE AIRBAG UNEXPECTEDLY. VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY AS I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE CAR ON A DAILY BASIS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
130,000 MILES ON THIS 2007 TAHOE. HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY AND WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A HIGH TRAFFIC STREET (SPEED LIMIT IS 55) WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, ENGINE STABILIZING, BRAKE LIGHT TURNED ON, TRACK CONTROL STABILIZING, EVERY LIGHT/SENSOR TURNED ON AS MY CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON AND WAS SHAKING BUT I COULD NOT DRIVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON JUST SO I CAN TRY TO GET BACK TO WORK. TAKING IT TO THE SHOP AFTER WORK TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. IT STARTED WITH CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT IS NOW CRACKING FORWARD OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.THIS IS ALSO OCCURRING ON MY 2008 CHEV SILVERADO, BUT MUCH WORSE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF INVOLVED IN A CRASH AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. I CONTACTED GM/CHEVROLET AND THEY WILL REPLACE THE DASH FOR $305. THE QUESTION IS, WHY ARE THE DASHES CRACKING AT ALL !

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT EXTENDS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT COULD PROPEL PLASTIC MATERIAL INTO THE CABIN AND AT THE PASSENGERS.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER, AIR BAGS
THREE LARGE (AND GROWING) CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. ONE AROUND THE HOUSING OF THE AIRBAG. THE OTHER TWO ARE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. VERY CONCERNED THAT IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS, DASH MATERIAL FROM BROKEN PIECE MAY BECOME A PROJECTILE OR PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG NOT ALLOWING IT TO WORK. I SEE GM SAYS IT IS A KNOW DESIGN DEFECT BUT THERE IS NO RECALL. CHEVROLET DEALER TOLD ME IT IS #1 REPAIRED ITEM ON TAHOE.

2007 CHEVY TAHOE, DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE CRACK IS IN THE LEFT CORNER AT THE AIRBAG (COMPLETE CRACK TOP TO BOTTOM). THE SECOND IS AT THE LEFT SIDE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL (WITHIN 1 INCH BEING COMPLETELY CRACKED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM). THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE MATERIALS NOT ANY INCIDENT THAT CAUSED THIS TO CRACK. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS AND ALL DASH CRACKS ARE BASICALLY IN THE SAME AREA. VERY MUCH A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IF A CRASH OCCURRED. POSSIBLY COULD CAUSE SHATTERING OF THE DASH PIECES AND CAUSE INJURIES OR POSSIBLY INTERFERE WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY , WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE TO PASS VEHICLE USING MEDIUM TO MEDIUM HEAVY ACCELERATION, INSTEAD OF TRANSMISSION KICKING DOWN TO PASSING GEAR, IT HANGS UP INTO NEUTRAL AND ENGINE REVS UP TO AND PASS REDLINE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO RELEASE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. AFTER LETTING OFF ACCELERATOR WHEN THE ENGINE WINDS DOWN TO AROUND 3500 REVS IT SEVERELY ENGAGES INTO GEAR WITH A LOUD BANG AND JOLTS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES AND IS GOING IN TO DEALERSHIP IN 4 DAYS. VEHICLE HAS 4473 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE ALSO HAS SEVERAL OTHER SEVERE ELECTRICAL ISSUES BUT AFTER EXHAUSTIVE PROCEDURE TO HAVE GM REPLACE OR BUY BACK VEHICLE THEY HAVE REFUSED. THIS IS MY FOURTH TAHOE AND WILL BE MY LAST. A LOYAL TAHOE OWNER FOR A LONG TIME AND THE NEW ONE IS THE WORSE. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR A VEHICLE OF OVER $77,000 AND LESS THAN 5000 MILES ON IT.
