STRUCTURE:BODY, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WINDOW BECAME INOPERABLE, FOLLOWED BY THE ENTIRE DOOR (IT WON'T OPEN AT ALL). THEN, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN FROM THE INSIDE, FOLLOWED BY THE DRIVER DOOR AND RECENTLY THE PASSENGER DOOR. THE DRIVER DOOR, FRONT AND REAR PASSENGER DOORS CAN ONLY BE OPENED BY ROLLING THE WINDOW DOWN AND OPENING THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE HANDLE. WE NOTICED THAT AROUND THE SAME TIME THE DOORS WENT OUT, SO DID THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS (REPLACING THE BULBS AND HOUSING UNITS DON'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE). THE BACK BRAKE LIGHT PANELS ARE INTERMITTENT AND SEEM TO WORK ON OCCASION (IF WE HIT A BUMP OR SOMETHING). THIS IS A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AND I'M AFRAID WE WILL HAVE TO JUNK OUR TRUCK DUE TO IT. ARE THERE ANY OTHER TAHOE OWNERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES? ANY RECALLS RELATED TO THESE ISSUES? THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR RELATED ISSUES TO ME... *TR

THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER FROM THE AIR BAG HAD A CRACK SHOW UP ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A SMOOTH ROADWAY WHEN A LOUD POP OCCURRED AND THE CRACKED APPEARED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE DASH, DUE TO THE WARRANTY NOT COVERING THE ISSUE. I DO NOT UNDERSTANDING AFTER RESEARCHING WHY CHEVROLET HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE DUE TO SO MANY VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME DEFECT. FOR AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE THAT IT IS, I WOULD EXPECT A BETTER QUALITY OF PRODUCT. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER TAHOE. *TR

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD. ONE IS HUGE OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE CONTROL CLUSTER AND THE SECOND, I BELIEVE, POSES A BIG SAFETY CONCERN. THE SECOND CRACK IS AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WITH THIS DEFECT AND IF IT DOES THE SHARP EDGES/SHARDS OF THE DASH WILL EITHER INJURE THE PASSENGER AND/OR OTHERS IN THE CAR, OR RIP THE AIRBAG MAKING IT USELESS. AIRBAGS ARE A LEGAL REQUIREMENT. I HAVE BEEN ON MANY FORUMS AND PAGES REGARDING THE CHEVY TAHOE AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WITH THIS VERY SAME PROBLEM. I REALLY BELIEVE GM/CHEVY SHOULD ORDER A RECALL. I ALSO HAVE A MINOR CLAIM ABOUT THE RUBBER ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE PAINT ON THE STEREO/CLIMATE CONTROL BUTTONS. ALL OF WHICH IS PEELING OFF. I HAVE ALSO SEE HUNDREDS OF WRITINGS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE STEERING WHEEL AND STEREO/CLIMATE CONTROL. AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTED ON THE NEW ITEMS. I PAID WAY TO MUCH FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE DOING THIS. I ALSO HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF GETTING A NEW CAR; HOWEVER, AS THEY PROBLEM PERSIST, ESPECIALLY THE SAFETY ISSUES. I JUST MAY BE FORCED TO . *TR
