STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN MY DASH BOARD RIGHT BY WHERE MY AIR BAGS ARE. ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE OTHER IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I VIEW THIS HAS A SAFETY HAZARD, IF FOR SOME REASON I AM IN A WRECK I DO NOT KNOW HOW THIS WOULD AFFECT MYSELF OR MY DAUGHTER OR EVEN IF THIS WOULD PREVENT THE AIR BAGS FROM DEPLOYING. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM THEM WHAT GM WILL DO ABOUT THIS SITUATION..REPLACE..REPAIR ETC.

SERVICE BRAKES
RUSTED BRAKE LINES RESULTING IN FAILURE OF BRAKING SYSTEM. BRAKE LINES SHOULD LAST LONGER THAN THE SERVICE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. HENCE NO BRAKE LINES SHOULD EVER BE MADE OUT OF STEEL. ESPECIALLY ON ON A SYSTEM AS CRITICAL AS THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE COSTED ME MY FAMILY. THE THE ETHICAL THING FOR ANY COMPANY TO DO. IS RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS WOULD BE AN ISSUE. WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE BRAKING SYSTEM ON A VEHICLE THAT BY ITSELF WEIGHS 5,000 POUNDS. WITHOUT A TRAILER OR ANY PAYLOAD ATTACHED TO IT.MANY OF PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN AS FORTUNATE AS MYSELF. THE VEHICLE IS. OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. TO THIS DAY.IF FAULTY IGNITION SWITCHES GET RECALLED IT'S COMMON SENSE TO RECALL A BRAKE ISSUE. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAIL WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAVE BEEN BUILDING CARS SINCE I WAS A KID.AND THIS IS A FIRST. TO SEE A BRAKE LINE BURST. BECAUSE OF THE CORROSION. IF GM DOESN'T WANT TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES. THE AT LEAST LET THE OWNERS BUY THE PARTS AND GM INSTALL THEM. AND FOR GM TO STATE THAT THIS A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME ANYBODY THOUGHT TO CHECK FOR RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES WHEN. THEY WERE CHANGING THE OIL OR DOING A TUNE UP .OR CHANGING BRAKE PADS OR TIRES. THOSE ARE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR OWNER MAINTENANCE ISSUES. MY 2004 FORD F350 HAS 220 THOUSAND MILES. RUNS GREAT TO BUT THE BRAKE LINES AREN'T ROTTING OUT OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT GM IS CLAIMING IS A EXTREMELY WEAK ARGUMENT. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

SERVICE BRAKES
WENT TO STOP AT STOP SIGN AT APPROXIMATELY 4MPH AND NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY RESISTANCE OR HESITATION. AS A RESULT OF THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION I REAR ENDED AN ELDERLY COUPLE IN A LEXUS. RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO THEIR REAR BUMPER PLASTIC COVER AND MORE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY FRONT END OF THE DEFECTIVE 200 CHEVROLET TAHOE Z71 I WAS DRIVING

AIR BAGS
THE DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. THE FIRST CRACK, EXTENDING FROM FRONT TO BACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FROM THE FRONT EDGE OF THE DASHBOARD BACK INTO THE COVER (LEFT FRONT CORNER) OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, APPEARED THE WEEK OF JUNE 29, 2015. THE SECOND CRACK BEGAN APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS LATER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF DASHBOARD. IT STARTED ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE DOME PORTION COVERING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACK PROGRESSED APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 INCHES AND SPLIT INTO A "V" SHAPE AND IS CONTINUING UP THE DOME. OUR SAFETY CONCERNS ARE TWOFOLD. FIRST, IS THE CRACK AT THE AIRBAG GOING TO INTERFERE WITH IT'S PROPER FUNCTION OR PIERCE IT UPON DEPLOYMENT. SECOND, IF WE'RE INVOLVED IN A WRECK, WILL THE SHARP POINTS OF PLASTIC DASH INVOLVED IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE CRACK CAUSE INJURIES IF THE FORCES OF A COLLISION TURN THEM INTO PROJECTILES. THIS PROBLEM WITH GM/CHEVY DASHBOARDS IS WIDESPREAD AND IT MUST BE ADDRESSED AND RECTIFIED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED DUE TO THE COMPANY'S NEGLIGENCE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MULTIPLE CRACKS ON TOP OF DASHBOARD ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES NEAR AIRBAG. IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY DUE TO A CRASH, THERE WILL BE MULTIPLE PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD BROKEN THAT COULD INHIBIT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS OR CAUSE PLASTIC PIECES TO IMPALE A PASSENGER. THE DEALERSHIP HAS DECLINED TO REPAIR UNDER A GM RECALL.

STRUCTURE, AIR BAGS
THE DASHBOARD ON MY TAHOE HAS BEGAN TO CRACK. IT ORIGINALLY BEGAN TO CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HAS SPREAD UP OVER THE CONTROL PANEL. LAST WEEK I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT LEADS RIGHT TO THE AIRBAG. NOW THAT THE AIRBAG IS INVOLVED I DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. SEEING THE WIDESPREAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. $70,000 VEHICLES SHOULD NOT HAVE PLASTIC DASHBOARDS THAT CRUMBLE AWAY. UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THAT CRACK BECAME TWO CRACKS AND NOW THERE IS ONE FORMING BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS JUST UNDER 18,000 MILES AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME CRACKS. I AM WORKING WITH THE DEALER TO REPLACE THIS (AND IT WILL COST ME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR PART OF THIS) BUT HIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT AND I THINK A RECALL MIGHT BE WARRANTED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
STARTED MY VEHICLE AND LET IT WARM UP. NO ISSUES.. AFTER WAITING 5 MIN I DROVE AWAY FROM MY HOUSE AND WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF DRIVING( COULD OF BEEN LESS), ALL OF MY DASH LIGHTS FLASHED/GLITCHED,AND MY GAUGE NEEDLES GO ALL THE WAY DOWN,I LOSE ACCURACY OF SPEED, FUEL,TEMPS,ETC. MY INDICATOR( WHERE IT SHOWS MILEAGE) RESET TO "DRIVER 1" . SAME THING HAPPENS EVERYTIME, AND ITS ALWAYS RANDOM, EXCEPT THE LAST 2 DAYS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, LAST YEAR AND A CARFAX WAS DONE AND I JUST DID A VIN SEARCH AND NOTHING STATES THIS VEHICLE WAS EITHER RECALLED OR WAS THE PROBLEM ORIGINALLY FIXED WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
I WAS LOADING GROCERIES THROUGH THE OPEN LIFTGATE WINDOW. WHEN I FINISHED AND TRIED TO CLOSE THE WINDOW IT WOULDN'T CLOSE. IT WAS OFF CENTER, I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO CLOSE IT BY PUSHING UP ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE GLASS ALLOWING ME TO SECURE THE LIFTGATE GLASS. I BOUGTH THIS CAR THROUGH CARMAX IN CHARLOTTE AND NEVER RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BUT WITH RESEARCH I HAVE DISCOVERED IT TO BE A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM.

SERVICE BRAKES
I STARTED TO HAVE THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ONE OTHER LIGHT COME ON WHILE DRIVING. I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT IT WAS FOR VEHICLES IN 'SNOW-BELT STATES'. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FROM CARMAX IN CHARLOTTE NC WHICH WAS NOT ON THE LIST FOR 'SNOW-BELT STATES'. I HAVE SINCE LOST MY ABS SYSTEM. I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS NOW PART OF THE RECALL AND IS MY VEHICLE STILL ELIGBLE?

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE TWO CRACKS THAT APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON. ONE IS ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE OTHER IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE EDGE OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THE ONE BY THE AIRBAG IS THE SHAPE OF A TRIANGLE AND A WHOLE PIECE OF THE DASH FELL OFF. I BELIEVE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED IT WOULD VERY LIKELY CATCH ON THE MISSING PIECE OF DASH AND RIP. IT SEEMS THAT IT COULD ALSO CAUSE THE DASH TO CRACK FURTHER AND PIECES OF THE DASH COULD GO FLYING AT A PASSENGER IF THERE WERE AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK IT TO TWO DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERS AND NEITHER OF THEM WOULD ADMIT IT WAS DANGEROUS AND WANTED TO CHANGE OVER 800 DOLLARS TO REPAIR IT.
