MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 SPOTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THE ONE CRACK THAT LEADS TO THE AIR BAG COVER...THAT COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN HITTING MY SON IN THE FACE CAUSING BODILY HARM. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP (BRYAN CHEVROLET) FOR REPLACEMENT...I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IF I WANTED REPLACED IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE ($1000.00). BOTTOM LINE, I GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM, NOW THAT ONE CRACK HAS GROWN TO TWO CRACKS...AND THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT SO MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND STILL GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND MUCH LESS REPLACE ALL THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. I AGREE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED TO MAKE ALL AFFECTED PARTIES WHOLE IN A RETROACTIVE MANNER. THE GROSS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS CLEARLY INDICATE THAT HIS NOT A FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINT AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
SO FAR, 3 OF THE 4 EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THESE ARE CHEAPLY MADE PLASTIC, NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE FORCE OF SIMPLY OPENING A DOOR. THIS CAR IS OTHERWISE IN GREAT CONDITION, HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE, AND IS USUALLY ONLY DRIVEN WITH ONE OCCUPANT. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS HAVE NOT BEEN OPENED VERY OFTEN FOR A CAR WITH MILEAGE IN THE LOW 40'S. THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO SMALL CHILDREN OR PEOPLE WITH THIN FINGERS AS IT WOULD BE QUITE EASY TO GET A FINGER CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE AND THE BODY OF THE CAR. THE HANDLES DO NOT LOOK BROKEN. THE ACT OF OPENING THE DOOR CAUSES THE HANDLE TO PULL AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE DOOR. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. A DEALER TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY REPLACED 8 HANDLES FOR 1 CUSTOMER. THAT'S AT A PRICE BETWEEN $250 AND $300 PER HANDLE. I WAS GOING TO BEGIN LOOKING FOR A NEW CAR TODAY. IF THIS IS HOW CHEVROLET STANDS BEHIND IT'S VEHICLES, THEY WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN MY SEARCH. *TR

I WAS OFF ROAD ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND THE CAR WOULDNT GO INTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE. IT SAID SERVICE 4 WHEEL DRIVE AND THE KNOB WILL TURN BUT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE WILL NOT ACTIVATE. NOTHING HAPPENED OTHER THAN THE CAR NOT GOING TO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WHEN THE KNOB HAS BEEN TURNED. *JS

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE
SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY USED TAHOE A CRACK DEVELOPED NEAR THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, FORMING A "Y" SHAPE WHICH LEAVES A SMALL, SHARP PIECE OF POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. I FEAR THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE POTENTIALLY FATAL OUTCOMES DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE BRITTLE PLASTIC BECOMING FLYING SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A WELL REPORTED AND WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL GMT900 VEHICLES. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE DASHBOARDS! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKE LINE ON MY 2002 CHEVY TAHOE BUSTED WHILE STOPPED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION JUNE 2014. THE BRAKE PEDDLE WAS DEPRESSED AFTER A NORMAL STOP WHEN ALL PRESSURE WENT AWAY AND I BEGAN ROLLING FORWARD INTO THE INTERSECTION BEFORE PUSHING THE BRAKE FIRMLY TO THE FLOOR TO HALT THE VEHICLE. UPON PULLING OVER I DISCOVERED A LEAK IN THE LINE MID-BODY OF THE VEHICLE AND A EMPTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I DISCOVERED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM GM REFUSES TO FIX. THE SECOND INCIDENT HAPPENED ON FEBRUARY 14TH 2015 WHEN STOPPING AT ANOTHER INTERSECTION WHICH I ALMOST WENT THROUGH. I AGAIN DISCOVERED A BREAK IN THE LINE AT ROUGHLY IN THE SAME SPOT. THE SHOP TOLD ME THE ABS HAD RUSTED THROUGH. *TR
