THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE CRACK IS IN THE DRIVES SIDE AND ANOTHER CRACK IS IN THE AREA NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I QUESTION WHETHER THE CRACK IS GOING TO HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRBAG AND/OR POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ISSUE OR INJURY IF THE AIRBAG IF EVER DEPLOYED.

MY 2007 TAHOE HAS A NICE DASHBOARD COVER OVER IT. UPON REMOVAL ONE DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS SEVERELY CRACKED. LARGE, SHARP, AND JAGGED PIECES COMPLETELY BROKE OFF. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. SINCE THE DASHBOARD HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED AN IMPACT, IT MUST BE DUE TO THE HEAT LIKE IN THE MANY OTHER CASES. HOWEVER, I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON THE COAST SO IT IS NOT PARTICULARLY HOT HERE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THESE SHARP PIECES COULD SEVERELY INJURE A PERSON OR EVENT PUNCTURE AN AIR BAG. IN THE COURSE OF REGULAR USE A PERSON COULD BE BADLY INJURED BY THESE SHARP PIECES OR THE JAGGED SHARP EDGES OF THE HOLES IN THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM/CHEVY AND THEY SAID THAT AS OF NOW THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME WITH THE $1,000 REPAIR, BUT THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. ALSO, IF THEY DO HELP ME THEY SAID IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "GOODWILL" AND IN DECIDING WHETHER TO HELP ME THEY WILL CONSIDER MY LOYALTY AND ASKED IF I GET MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT THEIR DEALERSHIPS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE REPAIR COST AND I AM AFRAID IF I GET IN ANY ACCIDENT THAT CAUSES THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL FURTHER SHATTER INTO SHARP PIECES AND PUNCTURE THE AIRBAGS AND/OR INJURE MY CHILDREN AND I. I ALSO FEAR SOMEONE REACHING UP ON THE DASH AND INJURING THEMSELVES. I HAVE SEVERAL GM CARS WITH MAJOR DEFECTS THAT COULD BE SAFETY ISSUES COSTING THOUSANDS TO REPAIR. GM'S DENIAL OF THESE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. GM'S NEGLIGENCE IN DEALING WITH SAFETY HAZARDS HAS COST LOYAL CUSTOMERS THEIR LIVES RECENTLY. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

CRACKS HAVE FORMED IN THE DASHBOARD FOR NO REASON. IT STARTED WITH ONE CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHICH CONTINUES TO WORSEN, AND NOW ONE HAS FORMED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, WHICH HAS ME CONCERNED FOR SAFETY SHOULD THE AIRBAG NEED TO DEPLOY.

SEATS
WE TOOK OUR TAHOE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SECOND ROW HEADRESTS REMOVED BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUSING THE CAR SEATS FOR OUR TWINS TO NOT SET BACK AND FLUSH AGAINST THE BACK OF THE SEAT. SO NOT ONLY DOES IT CAUSE THE CAR SEAT TO SIT UP MORE VERTICAL BUT ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR SEAT CANNOT BE AS SECURELY FASTENED. THE DEALERSHIP AND LATER CUSTOMER CARE AT CORPORATE CHEVROLET SAID THAT THEY CANNOT REMOVE THOSE HEADRESTS FOR US BECAUSE OF A SAFETY CONCERN TO AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THOSE SEATS WITHOUT A HEADREST. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT AN ADULT WILL NOT BE SITTING THERE BECAUSE THE CAR SEATS ARE THERE. AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE OK WITH A SAFETY CONCERN FOR KIDS IN CAR SEATS THAT IS HAPPENING, BUT NOT FOR AN ADULT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT MAKES THE DASHBOARD FLOP, AND I'M WORRIED IT MAY AFFECT THE AIRBAGS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK, NEVER PLACE ANY ITEMS ON THE DASH, AND I USE A VISOR TO PROTECT THE DASH DURING WORK, AND THE TRUCK IS GARAGED WHEN I'M AT HOME. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL COST APPROX. $1,000 TO REPLACE! WHY WOULD I REPLACE A DEFECTIVE DASH? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!

THE DOOR HANDLES ON MY TAHOE HAVE BROKEN OFF AT THE POST IN THE DOOR. THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE FOR THIS MODEL ACCORDING TO THE DATA ON THE INTERNET. THE PLASTIC HANDLE EASILY BREAKS OFF FROM THE METAL POST OVER TIME. THIS IS NOT FROM EXCESSIVE USE OR FORCE THIS IS JUST A DESIGN FLAW WITH INFERIOR MATERIALS. BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE HANDLES HAVE BROKEN OFF. THE SITUATION JUST CONTUINUED TO GET WORSE OVER THE LAST YEAR. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGED 90% OF THE TIME ONLY BEING DRIVEN AS A PLEASURE VEHICLE. THE DOORS BROKE WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.
