ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
ON AN EXIT RAMP GETTING READY TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE CUTS OFF. I WAS ABLE TO STOP. TURNED THE KEY REPEATEDLY, AND THOUGH THE RADIO AND DASH LIGHTS CAME ON THE ENGINE WOULD NOT TURN OVER. I HAD THE TAHOE IN "PARK" MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE. NOTHING. SHIFTED IT TO NEUTRAL AND TRIED: NOTHING. MOVD THE COLUMN UP AND DOWN: NOTHING. POUNDED ON THE COLUMN: AMEN IT STARTED. DROVE TO MECHANIC: COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. NO DATA IN COMPUTER INDICATING ANY PROBLEM. 6 WEEKS GO BY AND TAHOE WILL NOT START IN MY DRIVEWAY. GO THOUGH THE SAME LITANY AGAIN. FINALLY STARTED. MY WIFE TAKES MY TAHOE TO LOWE'S IN JANUARY CAR WILL NOT START. SHE TRIED SO MANY TIMES SHE DRAINED THE BATTERY. I HOOKED UP THE JUMPER CABLES AND IT STARTED IMMEDIATELY. I TAKE IT TO MECHANIC AND HE "THINKS" IT'S PART OF THE IGNITION MODULE, BUT DOESN'T KNOW FOR SURE. THE PART ALONE IS $250. I DECLINE TO SPEND MONEY ON A MAYBE. THEN FOR 4 MONTHS NO PROBLEMS. MAY 31ST 2015, TAHOE WILL NOT START. IT STARTED FINE MAY 29TH. NOT ONLY WOULD IT NOT START, BUT THE BATTERY WAS DEAD. RADIO WAS OUT OF SEQUENCE BY 8 HOURS. CHARGED THE BATTERY AND TAHOE STILL WOULD NOT START. HAD A FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC COME OVER TO LOOK AT IT AND HERE'S THE PART THE REALLY TICKS ME OFF. I GET IN AND WITHOUT ANY FUSS THE DARN THING STARTED, TURNED IT OFF AND IT STARTED, DID THIS 20 TIMES, IT STARTED EVERY TIME. I WOULD CONCLUDE THAT IT WAS THE STARTER, EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT TWO TIMES IT SHUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. WE OWN THREE TAHOE'S. 2002, 2003, AND 2004. I DON'T HAVE THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 2002, AND 2003 TAHOE'S. IS THIS AN IGNITION PROBLEM OTHER'S HAVE EXPERIENCED. DOES IT HAVE ANY CONNECTION TO THE OTHER CHEVROLET IGNITION PROBLEMS. I HAVE TWO YOUNG SON'S AND WILL NOT DRIVE THIS TAHOE, WITH THEM IN IT.

SEATS
THE REAR SEAT RELEASE CABLE IS FAULTY AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE BACK COMPARTMENT (AFTER THE DOOR HATCH WAS CLOSED). THIS IS HAZARDOUS BECAUSE THE THIRD ROW SEATING AREA IS BACK THERE, AND WITHOUT A MEANS OF EASY RELEASE A PASSENGER MIGHT BE TRAPPED IN AN EMERGENCY.

HI TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'M CONTACTING YOU GUYS IN CONCERNS OF A CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT INITIALLY STARTED AROUND MY AIRBAG AREA AND LATER ON CONTINUED CRACKING OVER MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN DO TIME I REALLY THINK MY DASH WILL HAVE HOLES IN IT ALLOWING ONE TO SEE ALL OF MY ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WHATSOEVER. THIS IS GOING TO IMPOSE A VEHICHLE SAFETY ISSUE DO TO IF GOD FORBID ONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT OF ANY TYPE AND DA AIRBAG DEPLOYS,ALL OF THAT SHARP PLASTIC WILL BE EMBEDDED INTO OUR FACES,ETC. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE AN RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BEING THAT WHAT ACTIVITY TAKES PLACE ON MY DASHBOARDS!

I HAVE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FROM LACK OF QUALITY AS THE TRUCK HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED BY GM ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
THERE ARE VERY LARGE CRACKS ON MY DASH BOARD, THE WORST ONE BEING AROUND THE AIRBAG PLASTIC COVER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH! YOU CAN SEE UNDER THE COVER SHOWING ALL OF THE COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH! THE CRACK THAT IS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE IS ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN RUNNING FROM THE DEFROSTER TO THE TOP BY THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYS, ETC! I FEEL AS IF THESE CRACKS, SPECIFICALLY THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD! WITHOUT CRASHING, THERE IS NO WAY OF TELLING IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WILL DEFLATE PROPERLY DUE TO THIS! I FEEL THAT TO FIND THIS OUT, IT SHOULD BE AT NO ONES EXPENSE! I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT & A CLAIM WITH GM A FEW MONTHS AGO ONLY TO BE TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT GM CONTACTED ON MY BEHALF THAT THE RESPONSIBILITY IS MINE IF I WANTED THIS PROBLEM TO BE FIXED! THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT IT WOULD COST $850 TO $1000 TO HAVE THE DASH REPLACED! THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID THAT THEY ARE VERY AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM IN THE TAHOES BECAUSE THEY HAVE REPLACED SOME DASHES! GM IS NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR FAULTY EQUIPMENT & REFUSE TO ISSUE A RECALL! THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER CUSTOMERS WHO I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT ARE ALSO FACING THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR TRUCKS & SUVS! PLEASE DO THE RIGHT THING & ISSUE A RECALL ON THESE FAULTY & CHEAP MADE DASH BOARDS! THANK YOU! *TR

DASHBOARD JUST CRACKED IN FRONT OF CONSOLE/STEERING WHEEL. THIS IS SIMILAR TO A PROBLEM I HAD WITH A 2001 CHEVY TAHOE I OWNED PREVIOUSLY TO THIS. THAT INCIDENT HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY, THIS TIME IT HAPPENED AFTER WARRANTY HAD ENDED.
