MY 2011 TAHOE HAS YET ANOTHER CRACK IN THE DASH. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS CHANGED BECAUSE I HAVE LESS THAN 30000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. NOW I HAVE 60000 AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY AT 250 OF THE COST OF REPAIR! NO SIR! I'M DOING NOTHING TO MY VEHICLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING TO CHANGE IT YET AGAIN. THIS IS NOT FAR! I USED TO LOVE CHEVY BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE!

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES AND IS BECOMING A SAFETY ISSUE AS WELL AS BEING AN ANNOYANCE (EXCESSIVE RATTLING) AND AESTHETIC ISSUE. THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS BECOMING LOOSE AND UNSTABLE. WE ARE FINDING THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2007 TAHOES. GM DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE CONCERNED WITH THIS ISSUE AND HAS FAILED TO ISSUE A RECALL. WE ARE CONCERNED IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE CRACKED DASH WILL BREAK AWAY AND CAUSE PLASTIC SHRAPNEL, IMPALING THE DRIVER AND OR PASSENGER/S IN THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS CERTAINLY CREATED A SAFETY CONCERN!

THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED AT SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS IT HAPPENED SOMETIME IN SEPT'2015, EVEN THOUGH THE TAHOE ALWAYS IS PARKED IN SHADE (UNDER THE PORTE COCHERE) OR IN THE GARAGE. I HAVE CALLED GMAC AND THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $800 FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, ON CHEVY DASHBOARDS.

THIS DASH CRACK ON 2007 CHEVY TAHOE SEEMS TO BE COMMON IN THIS YEARS SUV'S AND TRUCKS. AS SEEN ON FORUMS/YOUTUBE CONCERNING THIS DASH CRACK, IT COULD BE POSSIBLE THAT IN A COLLISION, THE CRACKED PLASTIC DASH CAN ACT AS SHRAPNEL WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOY. PLEASE RUN SOME TESTS ON THIS AS I HAVE LITTLE ONES AND WOULDN'T WANT THEM IN HARMS WAY.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES. THEY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE OVER TIME. IT IS CLEAR THE CRACKS OCCURRED IN NARROW, WEAK AREAS. 2 CRACKS IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND 2 CRACKS IN THE 1" AREA IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WITH THE DASH FRACTURING AROUND THE AIRBAG, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY.

SERVICE BRAKES
IN 2011 MY ABS/BRAKE LIGHT STARTING COMING ON TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WAS TOLD HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO REPAIR. IN SEARCHING ONLINE HOW TO FIX, I SEE A RECALL WAS GIVEN TO SALT BELT STATES IN 2005. I OWN TRUCK SINCE 2002. TOLD BY GMC TODAY THE RECALL ALTHOUGH IT STATES SALT BELT STATES RECALL ONLY AFFECTED CERTAIN VIN #'S IS THIS CORRECT? FIRST OWNER LIVED IN SALT BELT STATE AND TRUCK MANUFACTURED IN SALT BELT. I SEE THERE ARE ADDITIONAL GMC PRODUCTS WITH SAME PROBLEM. WHY DON'T THEY REPAIR?

WHEN USING THE AIR CONDITIONER IT SOMETIMES BLOWS VERY HOT AIR. NOW THAT IT IS COLD OUT WHEN USING THE HEATER IT SOMETIMES BLOWS ICE COLD AIR. IF THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO STOP, TURN OFF MY VEHICLE, THEN WHEN I RESTART THE VEHICLE IT DOES THE RIGHT THING. SOME TIMES I HAVE TO DO THIS MORE THEN ONCE TO GET IT TO WORK. I GOT A RECALL NOTICE A WHILE BACK BUT THE DEALER SAID IT IS ONLY FOR WHEN IT SMELLS LIKE SMOKE. GUESS THEY WANT ME TO HAVE AN ELECTRICAL FIRE BEFORE THEY WILL FIX IT.

ENGINE
ON NOVEMBER 5, 2015, I TOOK MY 2003 TAHOE IN DUE TO THE FACT THAT AN EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT HAD SHEARED OFF DURING THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING. I BOUGHT MY TAHOE NEW AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT SERVICE AT THE MCCARTHY-MORRIS CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP ON OVERLAND PARK, KS. I REALIZE THAT OVER TIME PARTS ON A VEHICLE WILL BREAK AND AT 118,000 MILES I SHOULD EXPECT TO INCUR MAINTENANCE EXPENSES. HOWEVER, BASED ON MY RESEARCH GM USED A SUBSTANDARD BOLT AND THIS ISSUE IMPACTS MILLIONS OF GM V8 MOTORS. FROM A SAFETY PERSPECTIVE, I HAD THE REPAIR DONE BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO RISK HAVING EXHAUST FUMES ENTERING THE CAB OF MY VEHICLE. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THIS TYPE OF EXHAUST LEAK COULD HAVE EPA IMPLICATIONS AS WELL. IN ORDER TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE, THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO PULL THE HEAD BECAUSE ONE OF THE TWO BOLTS THAT SHEARED OFF WAS FLUSH WITH THE HEAD AND HAD TO BE DRILLED OUT. TOTAL COST WAS $1,381.07. THE SAD FACT IS THAT AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE BACK, IT IS RUNNING ROUGH AND CHANCE ARE I WILL HAVE TO RETURN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR ADDITIONAL REPAIRS. I CONTEND THAT WHEN MAJOR REPAIRS LIKE THIS ARE DONE, THE VEHICLE IS SELDOM THE SAME. IT TOOK 5 DAYS TO GET IT BACK DO TO THE WEEKEND. IF THE NHTSA WON'T TAKE ANY ACTIONS OVER CONCERNS ABOUT THE EXHAUST LEAK, I HOPE SOME LAW FIRM MIGHT CONSIDER STARTING A CLASS ACTION SUIT. I HAVE NO ISSUE PAYING FOR REPAIRS CAUSED BY NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR, BUT THIS APPEARS TO BE A DEFECT THAT RESULTED FROM CHEVROLET USING A SUBSTANDARD BOLT.

I BOUGHT MY 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE BRAND NEW. PEOPLE LAUGH AT ME BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS DEALT WITH THE DEALERSHIP ON EVERYTHING INCLUDING ALL OIL CHANGES. NOW I'M BEING TOLD THAT I HAVE LIFTER AND CAM PROBLEMS. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON 5 MONTHS PRIOR TO BE TOLD THIS. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON BECAUSE OF THE TPS STICKING. I'M A SINGLE MOTHER OF 2. I PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE NOT TO HAVE THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY SINCE I'VE ALWAYS TAKEN MY TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I CANT AFFORD A NEW ENGINE, MY TRUCK IS PARKED AND I HAVE TO GET RIDES TO WORK FROM CO-WORKERS. I CANT SLEEP NOR WORK.

MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE DEVELOPED CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD WITHIN THE FIRST 2 YEARS I OWNED IT. THEY STARTED AROUND 30,000 MILES. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AT THE TIME BUT WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY SINCE IT WAS COSMETIC DAMAGE. THE CRACKS ARE MUCH WORSE NOW AND ARE ON BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT SIDES INCLUDING AREAS NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE NEVER USED CLEANING PRODUCTS SUCH AS ARMOR ALL AND THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. CRACKS NEAR THE PASSENGER COULD CAUSE PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC TO BREAK OFF AND STRIKE THE PASSENGER AS A RESULT OF A COLLISION.

AIR BAGS
THE PLASTIC DASHBORD HAS CRACKS ON THE EDGE OF THE AIRBAG UNIT AND OVER THE TOP OF THE SPEEDOMETER UNIT. THERE IS ALSO MAJOR CRACKS ON 30 TO 40 PERCENT OF THE FLAT PORTION OF THE DASH.THESE CRACKS ARE SHARP AND SEVERE. THE CRACKING STARTED AND HAS EVENTUALLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME TO THE POINT OF A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED THERE IS GREAT RISK THAT THE DASH BOARD MAY COME APART AND KILL OR INJURE THE PASSENGER AND OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET IN REGARDS TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE TO FIND OUT IF A REPAIR OR RECALL IS NEEDED. AS AN ENGINEER I BELIEVE GM SHOULD MAKE THE REPAIR.

EXCESSIVE FRAME RUST, WHICH TO DATE THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES. THE RUST IS SO BAD I WILL PROBABLY STOP DRIVING, UNTIL I CAN FIND A GOOD FRAME. LARGE LAYERS ARE COMING OFF, AND CAN BE JUST CRUMBLED. THE REST OF THE TRUCK IS MINT, THE UNDER BODY STILL LOOKS NEW, THE FRAME IS OUCH!, NOT JUST LOCAL AREAS, THE WHOLE FRAME STRUCTURE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD AND FUEL LINES, FUEL PUMP ARE RUSTED TO THE POINT OF FAILING TO SUPPORT THE PRESSURES WITHIN THE SYSTEM. OBVIOUSLY, THE TYPE OF STEEL, THICKNESS OF FUEL LINE STEEL MATERIAL IS NOT MADE IN SUCH MANNER AS TO GIVE A REASONABLE SERVICE LIFE BEFORE FAILING. THIS IS A CLEAR FAILURE OF AN IMPORTANT SYSTEM WITHIN THIS VEHICLE THAT EVERYONE RELIES ON PERFORMING TO A LEVEL OF REASONABLE TRUST. THIS FAILURE IS ONLY NOTICEABLE WHEN YOU GET A GAS LEAK UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, TOO LATE AND ALREADY PUTTING OWNERS AT RISK OF FIRES OR VEHICLE DYING ON HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THIS LEAK USUALLY HAPPENS VERY CLOSE TO THE GAS TANK WHICH IS MADE OF PLASTIC, SO YOU ONLY NEED A SOURCE OF IGNITION TO CAUSE GREAT DAMAGE AND / OR LOSS OF LIFE. I NOTICED THIS FUEL LEAK ON THE ROAD, WHEN I SMELLED GAS INSIDE THE CAR SO I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO GET GAS AND CHECKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED A GAS LEAK COMING FROM WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK. ON FURTHER EXAMINATION, FOUND THAT THE GAS LEAK WAS COMING FROM THE FUEL PUMP SUPPLY LINE CONNECTIONS WHICH WERE RUSTED TO THE POINT OF LEAKING LIKE A FOUNTAIN. INSTALLED A NEW PUMP AND CONNECTIONS ONLY TO FIND OTHER STEEL LINES ALSO RUSTED AND ALSO LEAKING. PLEASE, THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO BEFORE SOME PEOPLE UNAWARE OF THESE DEFECTS PAY DEARLY FOR SOME BIG CAR MAKER LIKE GM USING INFERIOR MATERIALS SO THEY COULD RAISE THEIR PROFIT LINE, REGARDLESS OF PEOPLE SAFETY.
