ON MONDAY 05/25/15 MY HUSBAND NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE WATCHED IN THE PAST COUPLE DAYS IT GROW IN SIZE AND HAVE TAKEN PICTURES TO DOCUMENT IT TOO. I AM UPSET AS THIS IS A NEW CAR I PURCHASED USED FROM A GM DEALER. I HAVE READ THAT ANOTHER CRACK IS SOON TO BE EXPECTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY AIRBAG AND CAUSING IT TO POSSIBLE DEPLOY OR DEEMED UNUSABLE. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND NO SAFETY IS A CONCERN. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED QUICKLY.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR TAHOE ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN 3 OR 4 TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IN EACH SITUATION PUTTING ON THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO ENTER HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AND GET INTO A CENTER TURN LANE JUST MISSING AN ACCIDENT. I PUT THE CHEVY TAHOE IN NEUTRAL WHICH ALLOWED THE ENGINE TO RACE TO A POINT IT COULD/WOULD HAVE BLOWN. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION BUT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND WILL TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER BRAND. EACH OF THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED IT WAS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS & THE SPEED CONTROL WAS NOT ON. TURNING OFF THE CHEVY TAHOE ALLOWED IT TO RESTART EACH TIME SO WE COULD GET HOME. GM LIKE ALL CAR COMPANIES DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED TO SIGNAL THE CAUSES OF THESE INTERMITTENT TYPES OF PROBLEMS THUS THEY CAN GO ON FOR YEARS BEFORE GETTING FIXED. THIS IS THE FOURTH GM VEHICLE OVER 20 YEARS & ALL HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND UNLESS MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE KILLED GM KEEPS DOING THE SAME POOR JOB.

I WANT TO ADD TO THE KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE CRACKED DASHBOARDS ON THIS SERIES OF GM TRUCKS. I HAVE A CRACK JUST ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE SECOND CRACK IS ABOVE THE GAUGE PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. MY CONCERN IS THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I FEAR THAT IF IN A CRASH, THE PLASTIC ON THE DASH WILL FRAGMENT AND SEND SHARP PIECES FLYING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

AIR BAGS
DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN GM SILVERADOS, TAHOES, SUBURBANS, YUKONS AND AVALANCHES. AT THIS POINT THE MAIN CONCERN IS THE FACT THAT THE HIGH MAJORITY OF CRACKS ON ALL AFFECTED DASHES ARE AGAINST/NEXT TO PASSANGER AIR BAG. IF DEPLOYED DASH FRAGMENTS WILL BECOME PROJECTILES. AS TIMES GOES ON SEVERAL OTHER CRACKS HAVE APPEARED AND AT THIS TIME GM HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS

SERVICE BRAKES
ON MAY 20, 2015 OUR 2001 CHEVROLET TAHOE EXPERIENCED A HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE EXPLOSION DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION ALMOST CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT INDICATION. THE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON LONG AFTER THE FACT WHEN TESTING THE BRAKES WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.THE STEEL HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE TO THE LEFT REAR WHEEL RUPTURED TOTALLY UNEXSPECTEDLY. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RELATED PROBLEM. GENERAL MOTORS IS AWARE AND ONLY A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN HAS BEEN ISSUED, NO RECALL. THE NHTSA MUST DEMAND THAT GM RECALL THESE VEHICLES FOR REPLACEMENT OF ALL THESE INFERIOR HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINES BEFORE DEATHS AND SERIOUS INJURIES OCCUR. I AM SUBMITTING THIS FORM TO MAKE IT PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT COULD CAUSE DEATH AND SERIOUS PROPERTY DAMAGE IF NOT ADDRESSED ON ALL THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. I AM TRULY GRATEFUL THAT MY WIFE WAS NOT INJURED OR KILLED.
