I PURCHASED MY TAHOE A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND IT ALREADY HAD A CRACKED DASH, BUT WAS MINOR. ONE SMALL CRACK BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND ONE IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL. SINCE THEN, IT HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE. THE CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG EXTENDS FROM THE AIRBAG PANEL TO THE EDGE OF THE DASH WHERE IT JOINS TO THE FRONT SECTION OF THE DASH. THE DRIVER SIDE CRACK EXTENDS FROM THE SAME EDGE, UP TOWARDS THE STEERING WHEEL, ALMOST TO THE EDGE CLOSEST TO THE STEERING WHEEL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN UTAH. IT WAS OWNED BY SOMEONE WHO LIVED IN THE NORTHEAST, THEN MOVED TO UTAH, AND THEN I MOVED TO KENTUCKY ABOUT 6 MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. THE PROBLEM HAS STARTED AND CONTINUES DESPITE THE LOCATION, OR THE TEMPERATURE. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE DUE TO NOT BEING SUPPORTED FROM THE UNDERSIDE.

THE 2ND ROW DVD SCREEN WENT BLACK. I PAID TOO MUCH MONEY AND CONTINUOUSLY DRIVE GMC VEHICLES TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM I HARDLY USE IT AN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO LOTS OF PEOPLE. IF YOUR PAYING THIS MUCH FOR A CAR, TRUCK, ETC IT SHOULD BE WORTH IT NOT A PIECE OF JUNK.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I 2019 AROUND MARCH TO MAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHEVROLET PLACE IN CLAXTON, GA DUE TO MY BRAKES NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND SHOWING "BRAKE ASSIST" MESSAGE. THEY HAD MY CAR IN THEIR SHOP FIVE TIMES FOR THIS MATTER. FIRST THREE TIMES THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING, FOURTH TIME THEY REPLACED THE WRONG PART AND COST ME ALMOST $500. FIFTH TIME THEY REPLACED IN UNDER THE RECALL THAT WAS OUT THEN. NOW, FEB 2020 MY CAR HAS BRAKE ISSUES AGAIN. THIS TIME MY CAR IS SHOWING "STABILITRAK" AND "BRAKE ASSIST". THEY ARE WANTING TO REPAIR A HUB, A MODULE AND STRUTS AND SAYING THAT THIS IS ALSO DUE TO A "SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM". MY STRUTS WERE RELATED LAST YEAR BEFORE THE PREVIOUS BRAKE REPAIR. I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND SEEN THAT MANY VEHICLES FROM MANY YEAR MAKES HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES WITH THEIR VEHICLE AND GM IS AVOIDING THE ISSUE. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN THIS CAR AND ONE WAS IN THE CAR WITH ME WHEN MY BRAKES DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY THIS PAST ISSUE. MY CAR WAS NOW BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR BRAKE ISSUES 6 TIMES AND THIS SIDE DETECTION ISSUE I THINK NEEDS TONE LOOKED INTO FURTHER BEING SO MANY CUSTOMERS ARE HAVING ISSUES WITH THIS.

I NEED MY CRACKED DASH REPLACED OR FIXED. IT JUST CRACKED ONE DAY. NO ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING IT WAS PARKED AND CRACKED. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY DASH. WE HAVE AN 2004 TAHOE AND DASH HAS NEVER DONE THIS. FROM WHAT I'VE READ GM PURCHASED SOME DASH FROM ANOTHER COMPANY BUT REALIZED THEY WERE PROBLEMS AND WENT BACK TO ORIGINAL COMPANY. SO THEY NEED TO STEP UP AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM . . THE CRACK IS ON THR DRIVERS SIDE AND GROWING.

SUSPENSION
HAVE A 2015 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ WITH ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIDING SUPER ROUGH, FELT LIKE IT HAD NO SHOCKS WHEN GOING OVER BUMPS OR POTHOLES. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THEIR MECHANIC SAID IT LOOKED LIKE BOTH REAR SHOCKS WERE LEAKING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I DD NOT BELIEVE THEM AS THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 35,000 MILES ON IT. TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED CHEVY DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THE SAME THING. OF COURSE, THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. COME TO FIND OUT, AFTER LOOKING AT SEVERAL FORUMS, THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE MAGNETIC RIDE SUSPENSION IN THE HIGH TRIM PACKAGE TAHOES AND YUKONS AND YET GM WILL NOT COVER THEM UNDER WARRANTY.

POWER TRAIN
PURCHASED CAR WITH 120 MILES, ABOUT 25K MILES I NOTICED SMALL DELAY IN ACCELERATION WHEN GOING FROM COMPLETE STOP. MENTIONED TO DEALER THEY STATED ALL WAS OK. AT 50K MILES THE DELAY IN ACCELERATION WAS FAR MORE NOTICEABLE. I WOULD ACCELERATE AND RPM WOULD GO UP TO 4,5 OR6 BEFORE CAR WOULD MOVE START TO MOVE. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER, DID ROAD TEST WITH TECH AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT SOMETHING DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT STATED HE WOULD HAVE TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST LOOK IT OVER. AFTER HAVING CAR FOR 2 WEEKS WE DID ANOTHER ROAD TEST WITH MASTER TECHNICIAN AND HE STATED HARD SHIFTING WAS NORMAL ACCELERATION FOR THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF VARIABLE TRANSMISSION. HE SAID ULTIMATELY THERE ARE NO TROUBLE CODES SO CAR IS 100% FINE. AT 63,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT! I DROVE CAR ON HIGHWAY ABOUT 145 MILES WITH NO ISSUE, I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND WHEN I PRESSED ON ACCELERATOR CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. FINALLY AFTER A FEW SECONDS OF ENGINE REVVING CAR JERKED BACK AND ROLLED FORWARD SLIGHTLY. WAS ABLE TO DRIVE CAR INTO STRIP MALL PARKING LOT. TOOK BACK TO DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT BUT CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY WE STILL HAVE NO TROUBLE CODES! THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COVER BECAUSE IT IS 3,000 MILES OUT OF WARRANTY.

IN 2016 WE WERE NOTIFIED ABOUT A RECALL ON OUR 2010 CHEVY TAHOE. THE RECALL WAS FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAGS. WE WOULD RECEIVE MORE DETAILS ON HOW TO FIX THIS AND HAVE RECEIVED NOTHING TO DATE. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP A COUPLE TIMES AND THERE IS STILL NO FIX. THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHEN THAT WILL HAPPEN. IN MEANTIME, I AM TAKING CHANCES DRIVING OUR VEHICLE SHOULD A CRASH HAPPENS AND AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

AIR BAGS, ENGINE, STEERING
WHY IS NHTSA ALLOWING SALE OF MILLIONS OF DANGEROUS UNFIXABLE AIRBAG RECALLED SUVS TO BE DRIVEN WHEN THE CONSEQUENCE IS DEATH BY AN ALLOWED LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM IN A MAJORITY OF CARS ON THE ROAD. WHY IS THERE NO PROTECTION OF INNOCENT PEOPLE HERE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE REGARDLESS OF WHAT IS OR ISN'T ALLOWED. EVERY CAR WITH THIS RECALL IS A DEADLY RISK AND NHTSA IS NOT GETTING DEALERS TO STOP SELLING SUCH VEHICLES NOR ARE THEY INVESTIGATING THE MANY DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE HIDING THE ISSUES BY SAYING MULTIPLE DIFFERENT LIES IN THE DESCRIPTION AND HIDING IT IN THE CARFAX BUT KEEPING IT IN THE VIN CHECK. NHTSA HAS A DUTY TO PROTECT US ALL ESPECUU ITI ALLY NOW I'M THUS RARE INSTANCE WHERE EVERY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD IS A DEATH SENTENCE BY THE VERY SAFETY DEVICE MEANT TO PROTECT , THE AIRBAGS, WHICH IS ONE THING IF DOES NOT INFLATE, BUT IS WORSE THAT IT SHOOTS METAL SHRAPNEL WHEN AIRBAG EXPLODES INSTEAD OF INFLATED AND HAS ALREADY INJURED AND KILLED 19 PEOPLE AND NO WAY TO PREVENT EXPLOSION SINCE NO REMEDY BUT AT THE VERY LEAST, IS IT NOT BETTER TO DEACTIVATE THE POSSIBILITY OF IT EXPLODING INSTEAD OF ALLOWING IT TO BE SOLD AND HARM PEOPLE? THIS IS VERY SERIOUS AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BY ALL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT T RELATED TO VEHICLES DMV, DOT, HEALTH AND SAFETY AND FBI, BECAUSE IT IS SHOCKING THAT IT HAS GOTTEN THUS FAR ALONG WITHOUT ANY PROTECTION EXCEPT IT'S ANNOUNCEMENT THUS FAR PUTTING MILLIONS AT RISK. I THINK SOMEONE IS GETTING PAID OFF UNDER THE RUG FOR IT TO BE SUCH A HIDDEN DILEMMA. PLEASE SEND THIS ARTICLE OF CONCERN OUT TO ALL INVESTIGATIVE ENTITIES TO GET OUR KIDS AND FAMILIES PROTECTED. I HAD TO USE A VIN FROM A VEHICLE IF INTEREST FROM A SAMPLE CAR DEALERSHIP FOR THIS COMPLAINT OTHERWISE IT WOULD BE NEGLECTED FURTHER. EMAIL: [XXX].REGARDING MY CONCERNS FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE. MY NAME IS [XXX] WHICH SUV CAN BE BOUGHT? REDACTED TO PROTECT PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR
