AS WITH MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE IF THERE IS EVER AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURS AND THE AIR BAG WILL NEED TO DEPLOY. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 30 DAYS AGO AND NOW HAVE A CRACK IN THE DASH. BY READINGUP ON THIS, THERE IS SO MANY COMPLAINTS. I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST A 2004 TAHOE WITH NO,COMPLAINTS.I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD GET OFF THERE POCKET BOOKS AND RECALL THIS. THIS TAHOE ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES. PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. COME ON GM DO THE RIGHT THING. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND I LOOSE AN EYE OR SUFFER FACIAL DAMAGE DUE TO FLYING DEBRIS FROM A CRACKED DASH THAT WILL BE ON YOU. I ALSO HAVE A CAMRY. THEY RECALLED THERE DASH JUST BECAUSE ITS STICKY. STEP UP MADE IN THE USA. PLEASE. AFTER PAYING $29000. FOR A CAR THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS CAR WAS SITTING STILL WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

POWER TRAIN
TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN STARTING UP AND TRANSMISSION IS COLD. THIS IS ESPECIALLY FREQUENT WHEN GOING UP A GRADE NO MATTER HOW SLIGHT. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT IT CHIRPS THE TIRES. BASICALLY THE VEHICLE STOPS UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGES. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS HESITATION IS DANGEROUS AND CAUSES AN ISSUE WITH DURABILITY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THIS ISSUE IS NORMAL OPERATION. HOWEVER, MY SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET SHOW THAT MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ISOLATED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

THE REAR DEFROSTER TAB HAS POPPED OFF THE REAR WINDOW, THIS RENDERS THE REAR DEFROSTER UNUSABLE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS PREVALENT IN CHEVY TAHOES AND SUBURBANS AS WELL AS GMC YUKONS. A SIMPLE SEARCH REVEALS THOUSANDS OF PAGES ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND GM NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THIS STARTED AS A SMALL PROBLEM A YEAR AGO WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1600 TO GET IT REPLACED. THE FOUR CRACKS CONTINUE TO GET BIGGER AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR MANUFACTURER WILL RECOGNIZE IT FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN COSMETIC DAMAGE I NEED TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS DAMAGE. I CAN HEAR THE CRACK CONTINUE TO GET BIGGER BOTH WHEN IT'S PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IN ALL CONDITIONS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE HAD AN APPARENT POWER FAILURE WHILE DRIVING AND THE LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF, THE LOCKS WERE GOING UP & DOWN AND THE ENGINE WAS DYING AND LURCHING PRETTY VIOLENTLY. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE HIGHWAY. I GOT OFF THE ROAD AND SHUT IT OFF. THEN IT WAS COMPLETELY DEAD (EXCEPT FOR A CLICKING IN THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR). COULDN'T GET ANYTHING TO COME ON. THEN (FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON) I MOVED THE POWER SEAT SWITCH, AND EVERYTHING CAME ON. THEN IT STARTED FINE AND RAN ALL THE WAY HOME. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP THE NEXT DAY AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT (OF COURSE). THEY SAID IF THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIX IT. I CHECKED CABLES AND PULLED ON THINGS, I COULDN'T GET IT TO HAPPEN AGAIN EITHER. A COUPLE WEEKS LATER, I TRIED TO LOCK IT WITH MY REMOTE ONE DAY AND IT WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING (DEAD AGAIN) EXCEPT FOR THE CLICKING SOUND IN THE DOOR AGAIN. I MOVED THE SEAT BUTTON AND IT CAME BACK TO LIFE... WHAT IS GOING ON? I'VE SEEN POSTINGS ABOUT THIS AS FAR BACK AS 2007, BUT NO-ONE HAS DEFINITE FIX.THIS IS SCARY! NOW THIS IS THE INTERESTING PART.. I DID A CARFAX ON IT, AND I SAW WHERE THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN TAKEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES (IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME) AND THE SERVICE WAS LISTED AS A "DRIVABILITY TEST". I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT, AND THE GUY SAID "YEAH I REMEMBER THAT VEHICLE". AND HE TOLD ME THEY HAD REPLACED SEVERAL MODULES, THE BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES ETC, BUT APPARENTLY IT KEPT ON DOING IT, SO THEY JUST SOLD IT. SO IF THIS PROBLEM WAS PRESENT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL IN WARRANTY, SHOULDN'T THEY STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT?
