TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH, 1 ON TOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL & THE OTHER ALONG SIDE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG; WHICH I ASSUME IS NOT VERY SAFE IN CASE OF A SITUATION WHERE THE AIR BAG MAY BE DEPLOYED.

MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DASH. THE CRACK IS LOCATED ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, RIGHT SIDE OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHERE THE DASH PANELS MEET IN THE MIDDLE. THE VEHICLE HAS 64K MILES ON IT, HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED WITH CHEMICALS ON THE DASH, HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, AND IS GARAGE KEPT. THE DEALER HAS STATED THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY A RECALL, BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY (STILL VALID), OR THE EXTRA PROTECTION PACKAGE THAT I PURCHASED. NO OTHER OPTIONS WERE OFFERED BY THE DEALER. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE THE DASH PLASTIC IS HARD, IS CRACKING WITH SHARP EDGES, AND COULD BECOME A PROJECTILE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CRACK WAS OBSERVED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL JUST WENT TO THE FLOOR I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. I WAS FORCED TO STEER INTO THE DITCH TO AVOID A COLLISION. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED HOME I DISCOVERED A BRAKE LINE HAD POPPED DUE TO RUST. I UNDERSTAND THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES

AIR BAGS
AROUND 40,000 MILES THE DASH CRACKED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IF THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS, I'M AFRAID IT WILL SEND FRAGMENTED PIECES OF DASH INTO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE CONCERNS WHETHER THE JAGGED EDGES OF PLASTIC COULD POTENTIALLY PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG UPON DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND CAN BE FOUND WITH COMPLAINTS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. HERE IS ONE EXAMPLE: HTTPS://WWW.CONSUMERAFFAIRS.COM/AUTOMOTIVE/GM_TAHOE.HTML

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE PA TURNPIKE 3/31/16 APPRX.3:00 PM, I EXPERIENCED TOTAL TRANSMISSION FAILURE. ONLY AFTER SEEING SMOKE EMITTING FROM THE VEHICLE, WOULD THE HEAVY TRAFFIC ALLOW ME TO PULL TO THE SHOULDER. I PUT THE TRANS INTO PARK AND BACK INTO DRIVE, ALLOWING ME TO MOVE APPX 100 YARDS TO A SAFER PULL OFF. THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER AND GM HAS BEEN CONTACTED CASE # 8-1908837872. NO FURTHER CONTACT BY ME TO GM, OR FROM GM TO ME.

A CRACK HAS DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER (BRYAN CHEVROLET, METAIRIE, LA) IN 2010. THIS IS A WIDELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL GM TRUCKS AND SUV IN THIS "CLASS". THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL DUE TO POSSIBLE INJURY DUE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE TOP OF THE POLY FUEL TANK HAS A RECESS FOR THE ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY WHICH IS GASKET MOUNTED WITHIN THE TANK. THE TWO INCH FUEL LINE CONNECTORS ATOP THE PUMP ARE METAL. DUE TO THE DESIGN OF THE POLY FUEL TANK, WATER CAN COLLECT WITHIN THE RECESS AND CAUSE THE METAL LINES TO RUST-OUT AT THE CONNECTION BENDS FOR THE POLY FUEL LINES TO ENGINE. THE SMELL OF GAS STARTS OUT AS BEING SUBTLE, HOWEVER BECOME STRONGER AS THE RUST PIN HOLES GET LARGER. THE GASOLINE LEAKAGE OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION. THIS IS CAN BE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZZARD IF SOMEONE THROWS A SMOKING BUTT ON THE HIGHWAY. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS DESIGN
