TAKATA RECALL THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALONG THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OVER THE DRIVER SIDE TACHOMETER. MY CONCERN IS WHEN AND IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY, THERE MIGHT POSSIBLY BE PROJECTILES FROM THIS DEFECTIVE CRACK. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE CRACK ABOVE THE TACHOMETER KEEPS GETTING LARGER. THE DASH IS CRACKED ALL OF THE TIME WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE CRACKED DASH WAS A DEFECT FOR SURE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN WE CALLED GM ASSISTANCE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE DASH. THIS IS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE DASH FIRST CRACKED BECAUSE MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND IS NOT TALL ENOUGH TO SEE OVER THE DASH IN A SEATED POSITION. I DROVE HER CAR AND NOTICED IT MARCH OF 2016, BUT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED SOONER.

AIR BAGS
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EXPLOSIVELY INFLATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MILES PER HOUR ON AN INNER CITY STREET. NO JARRING OR COLLISION OCCURRED DIRECTLY PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. THIS APPEARS UNPROVOKED AND POSES A MAJOR SAFETY RISK TO CONSUMER. WE HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN WHO COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED IN THIS INCIDENT. THANKFULLY THEY WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE WHICH EXPLODED AND NOT THE DRIVER SIDE. ANY OF THESES SCENARIOS WOULD HAVE (AND DID) EASILY ENDANGER THE DRIVER AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS ON OR NEAR THE ROAD WHEN INCIDENT OCCURRED. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED INTO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP AND AM CURRENTLY AWAITING WORD ON WHAT EXACTLY CAUSED THE AIRBAG INFLATION.

WHEELS
ALL THE TIRE PRESSURE SENIORS ARE SAYING TO CHECK THE TIRES. THERE IS CORRECT PRESSURE IN TIRES WHEN I CHECK THEM, AND OF COURSE THE DASH MONITOR IS BLINKINGLIKE CRAZY ALL THE TIME. MY TIRE MAN SAID IT WOULD BE LOTS OF BUCKS TO REPLACE THEM. HE SAID BY LAW THEY CAN'T TAKE THEM OUT. WHAT CRAP, AND A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY. LISTEN UP GENERAL MOTORS, WE DO NOT NEED ALL THIS ELECTRONIC CRAP ON OUR CARS. WHAT A RIP OFF!!!

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE GM FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THE DANGER IS THE PLASTIC SHATTERING IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND BECAUSE OF THE MATERIAL DEFECT IN THE PLASTIC, LARGE SHARP SHARDS CAN BE SHOT INTO THE CABIN AREA IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS (SHRAPNEL).

OUT OF NOWHERE A 1 1/2 INCH WIDE PIZZA-SHAPED CRACK APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD OVER THE MAIN INSTRUMENT CONSOLE JUST OFF CENTER TOWARDS THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. WE'VE LIVED IN VERY HOT CLIMATE(VISALIA,CA) WITH EXTREMES FROM 110 DEGREES DOWN TO 32 DEGREES AND LESS AND HAVE NEVER HAD A DASHBOARD CRACK OCCUR, INCLUDING OUR PREVIOUSLY OWNED 2002 CHEVY TAHOE. IT'S NOW COVERED WITH A DASH CARPET. SURE HOPE OUR SAFETY ISN'T COMPROMISED. OUR VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

STEERING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID. WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT 10 MPH, THE POWER STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER STEERING MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V719000 (STEERING). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

A CRACK APPEARED RECENTLY ON THE DASHBOARD STARTING AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I JUST HOPE A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER IS NOT KILLED IF I EVER WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. WHY HAS GM IGNORED IT AND NOT STARTED AN INVESTIGATION?

HI, I OWN A 2007 CHEVROLET LS TAHOE AND MY CONCERN IS THAT MY FRONT DASH HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK ABOUT 8" ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENTATION CLUSTER, THE GIANT CRACK HAS STARTED TO APPEAR TO BE GAPING OPEN, AND IT'S STARTING TO SAG, AND HAS ALSO CRACKED ON THE ABOVE THE TOP DRIVER SIDE DASH AIR BAG, , AT THE TOP CENTER DASH AREA JUST ABOVE THE PASSENGER RIGHT SIDE AIR BAG , BUT IT'S 2 INDIVIDUAL CRACKS. I ALWAYS HAVE PARKED MOST OF THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME IN MY GARAGE OR I TRY TO FIND SHADED AREAS TO PARK.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY WIFE AND I BOUGHT A VEHICLE FROM CARDENAS SUPERSTORE IN PHARR, TX. WE'VE BEEN TO THEM 4 TIMES, IN WHICH THEY'VE SENT OUR TAHOE TO THE LOCAL GM/CHEVROLET DEALER IN OUR AREA. GENERALLY, WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM, STABILITRAK AND TRACTION CONTROL WILL DISABLE AND WE WILL SEE A SERIES OF WARNING LIGHTS. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT WILL GO OFF, THE AIR CONDITIONER TEMPERATURE WILL RISE TO A WARM TEMP, THE LOCKS WILL START UNLOCKING AND LOCKING RANDOMLY, HARD TRANSMISSION JERKS BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR, AND LITTLE POWER WHEN TRYING TO INCREASE SPEED. THE FIRST TIME WE WENT, THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME WE WENT, THEY CLEAN OUT ALL THE FUEL MODULES, THE THIRD TIME THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AND FINALLY, ON THE FOURTH TRY, THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUES SO THEY PUT DI-ELECTRIC GREASE ON SOME OF THE WIRING. TWO DAYS LATER IT STARTED ACTING UP AGAIN. A REASON THEY MAY HAVE TROUBLE FINDING ANY ISSUES IS THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE IS OFF FOR SOME TIME, IT WILL START UP AND RUN WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. I'VE MANAGED TO GET IT OVER TO THE LOCAL AUTOZONE WHILE ALL THE PANEL WAS GOING OFF, AND POWER LOSS, AND THEY MENTIONED A FEW POSSIBLE ISSUES. THE VEHICLES VOLTAGE REGULATOR MAY BE BAD, AS WELL AS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION FROM THE ECM AND MANY SENSORS(FUEL PUMP, TRANSMISSION, ETC...). WE ARE LUCKY THAT WE BOUGHT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE OR THIS COULD HAVE BECOME VERY COSTLY FOR US. BUT NONE THE LESS, SAFETY IS OF A CONCERN WHEN DRIVING THE TAHOE. ANY GUIDANCE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
