UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2014 CHEVY TAHOE WITH RIGHT AT 40,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. SHORTLY AFTER I NOTICED THE DASH HAD CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE BY THE TOP AIR VENT. THE CRACK HAS GOTTEN EVEN BIGGER IN THE FOLLOWING WEEKS. I ALSO HAVE A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO AND THE DASH IS CRACKED ON IT AS WELL. I KNOW SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE WITH POOR QUALITY GM PARTS. MY TAHOE IS AN LTZ AND EXPECT QUALITY WHEN BUYING SUCH. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE TAHOE FROM AND WAS INFORMED THEY DO NOT FIX THESE UNLESS I WANT TO PAY FOR IT ALL OUT OF MY POCKET. THIS IS A GM QUALITY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED BY GM NOT THE CONSUMER.

WITH LESS THAN 15K MILES, ORIGINAL SYMPTOMS REMAIN AND ECHO THOSE OF SEVERAL OTHER USERS IN THE SAME AGENCY (EVEN IN COOLER WEATHER).
