UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I AM MAKING A COMPLAINT ON 2007 TAHOE. I HAVE HAD THE TAHOE SINCE 2010 AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE DASH EVER SINCE. I HAVE HAD A REPLACEMENT DASH INSTALLED AND TWO YEARS LATER IT CRACKED AGAIN. THIS TIME IT IS MUCH WORSE. I HAVE CRACKS ALL OVER AND EVEN CRACKS THAT BUTT UP TO THE AIRBAG BOX. I THINK THIS IS NOT SAFE SINCE PIECES OF THE DASH COULD FLY OFF IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED AND COULD SERIOUSLY CAUSE MORE DAMAGE TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. ALSO, THE CRACK COULD INTERFERE WITH THE WAY THAT THE AIRBAG COMES OUT OF THE BOX. THIS COULD CAUSE IMPROPER INFLATION OR EVEN A RIP IN THE AIRBAG. I THINK THAT THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALLED SINCE THOUSANDS OF CHEVY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE SEEN MANY PICTURES OF PEOPLES DASHES THAT HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS. PLEASE REVIEW THESE CASES AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS SIMPLE COSMETIC PIECE COULD HAVE MAJOR AFFECTS.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ENGINE
WHEN YOU PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS, THE STABILITRACK SENSORS KICKS IN FOR NO REASON AND SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE BUT AFTER A FEW MONTHS CONTINUED TO DO IT AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE TO ME. IT HAPPENS MOREOFTEN IN THE COLD

ALL AREAS OF MY PAINT IS PEELING, CRACKING AND DE LAMINATING AS OF LAST YEAR. THE CAR PRETTY MUCH SAT FOR 10 YEARS WITH ONLY 20000 MILES AND WAS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. I BOUGHT IT IN 2012 AND I'VE DRIVEN IT DAILY FOR 4 YEARS AND IT NOW HAS 64000 MILES. I JUST GOOGLED AND FOUND A RECALL ON THE CHEVY PAINT PROBLEM BUT CHEVROLET SAID THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THAT I HAD NO RECOURSE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ALTHOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS SOLD WITH THE CAPABILITY FOR DINGY TOWING USING THE OPTIONAL TRANSFER CASE AS PER THE LAST 3 GENERATIONS OF TAHOE'S, IT BECAME APPARENT A DESIGN ISSUE WAS PRESENT THE FIRST TIME I PUT THE CASE IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED OFF THE CAR. I ADVISED THE GM DEALER AND A MONTH LATER THEY CHANGED THE PROCEDURE CALLING FOR BATTERY DISCONNECTION. THIS RESULTS IN THE LOSS OF ALL INFORMATION. THE FIRST TIME I DINGY TOWED THE CAR USING GM PROCEDURES MY ONLY KEY FOB UNSYNCED WITH THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BATTERY WAS RECONNECTED. THIS LEFT ME WITH THE TRUCK IN NEUTRAL CONNECTED TO MY BUS WITH NO WAY TO DISCONNECT IT. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO BACK UP WITH THE VEHICLE CONNECTED TO THE BUS AND THERE WAS NO ROOM TO TURN AROUND. I WAS DEAD IN THE WATER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I LEFT THE DEAD KEYFOB ON THE CONSOLE AND WENT TO RETRIEVE MY PHONE TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THE VEHICLE LOCKED ITSELF WITH THE KEY FOB INSIDE. ONSTAR TRIED 4 TIMES TO UNLOCK THE VEHICLE WITHOUT SUCCESS OR RECOGNITION OF THE SIGNAL FROM ONSTAR. GM SENT EMERGENCY SERVICE 3 HOURS LATER AND THEY HAD TO BREAK INTO THE CAR TO OPEN IT. IN ORDER TO UNHOOK THE CAR I HAD TO DRAG A 14' LIMB OUT OF THE WOODS AND BLOCK UP THE BACK WHEELS AND EASE THE BUS BACK ABOUT 1" TO TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE TOWING SYSTEM. I CLEARED THE BUS OUT OF THE ROAD BUT THE VEHICLE SAT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR 3 HOURS UNTIL WE UNLOCKED IT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY TO A PET OR BABY LOCKED IN THE CAR DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY. THIS IS A GM DESIGN ISSUE AND THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY!
