I PURCHASED MY CHEVROLET TAHOE IN MARCH OF 2014. I NOTICED TWO CRACKS IN THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD SHORTLY THEREAFTER NEAR THE AIRBAG LOCATION. I AM VERY SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AS THESE CRACKS ARE ONLY GOING TO GROW AND IMPACT THE ENTIRE DASH MEMBRANE THAT HOUSES THE MAJOR CONTROL SYSTEMS OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

AIR BAGS, STRUCTURE:BODY
MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CRACK APPEARED RIGHT AT 42,000 MILES, AND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CRACK HAPPENED AT 51,000 MILES. MY CHEVY DEALER SAYS IT IS "COSMETIC" SO THEY WILL NOT COVER ANY OF THE REPAIRS, EVEN THOUGH I AM STILL UNDER THE "CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED" WARRANTY. BUT IT'S GOING TO BE MORE THAN COSMETIC IF THAT AIR BAG EVER GOES OFF. IT IS GOING TO SEND PLASTIC SHRAPNEL EVERY WHERE. THE DEALER QUOTED ME $900 TO REPLACE THE DASH, AND SAYS THEY WOULD BE PUTTING THE SAME DASH BACK IN, SO IT WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY JUST CRACK AGAIN. I AM ON A FACE BOOK PAGE (GM YUKON AND TAHOE CRACKED DASH) WITH 576 MEMBERS THAT HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

I HAVE A CRACK IN THE CORNER OF MY AIRBAG. AFTER RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT CRACKS IN THEIR DASHBOARDS EITHER ON THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG OR STEERING COLUMN. THERE HAS ALSO BEEN A FACEBOOK PAGE STARTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GM YUKON AND TAHOE CRACKED DASHBOARDS. LOOKING AT ALL THE PICTURES POSTED THERE IS A BIT SHOCKING. YOU CAN NOT TELL ONE PICTURE FROM ANOTHER BECAUSE THEY ALL ARE CRACKED IN THE SAME SPOT. AFTER CONTACTING GM I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE MANY COMPLAINTS DAILY BUT GM WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL IN THE DASHBOARDS. MY CONCERN ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, IS IF THIS COULD SOME HOW AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE AIRBAG. I CURRENTLY DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN MY FRONT SEAT OUT IF FEAR OF THE AIRBAG. *JS

I HAVE READ THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DASHBOARD BEING CRACKED. MINE HAS DONE THE SAME AND I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAD TOLD ME NO BECAUSE IT DID NOT COME FROM THE FACTORY LIKE THAT. I'M THINKING WELL NO [XXX], HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE/POWERTRAIN ISSUE/ENGINE ISSUE/ ETC IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE ISSUE. ANYWAY I AM TRYING TO CONTACT CHEVROLET TO FIX THE ISSUE AND/OR PUT OUT A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY OLDEST SON BOUGHT A 2010 TAHOE. I LOVED IT AND APPARENTLY MADE A MISTAKE WHEN I TRADED IN MY TOYOTA FOR A 2010 TAHOE. LAST YEAR OUR YOUNGEST SON AND HIS WIFE ALSO PURCHASED A TAHOE (2011). ALL THREE HAVE DASHBOARDS THAT ARE NOW CRACKING. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT IN THE PRODUCT. IS GM GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM? FROM WHAT I AM READING IT APPEARS TO BE A NATIONWIDE ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES. THE CRACK IN MY DASH IS RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THIS VEHICLE,WHILE DRIVING,SUDDENLY THE RADIO GOES OFF,THE WARNING LIGHTS COME UP, THE ALARM GOES OFF,AND THE LOCKS START CYCLING, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE GOES OFF, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE JUST JERKS.WHEN THE ENGINE CUTS OFF,ALL THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM GOES DEAD,I HAVE TO WAIT FROM 1 TO 15 MINUTES FOR THE SYSTEM COME BACK ON. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ON SERVICE FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM: THE FIRST TIME, THEY DIDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS.THE SECOND TIME, THEY SAID THAT THE SECURITY ALARM WAS THE PROBLEM,IT WAS REMOVED. THE THIRD TIME THEY SAID THAT THE MECHANIC FORGOT TO CONNECT SOME WIRES FROM THE ALARM,AND ALSO PUT SOME GREASE ON THE CONNECTORS.THE FOURTH TIME THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS: FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AND LEAKING BATTERY.THE FIFTH TIME THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS: COINS INSIDE THE RADIO MAKING A SHORT, THEY REMOVED THE RADIO. NOW, I'M DRIVING WITHOUT RADIO AND IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME.TODAY,(LIKE MANY OTHER TIMES) I ALMOST HAVE AN ACCIDENT, THE WARNING LIGHTS CAME UP, THE NEEDLES ON THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY, THE ENGINE JOLTED AND THE CAR CAME TO A TOTAL STOP.A CAR ALMOST REAR ENDS US, I WAS HONKED AT BY EVERYONE, AND I TRIED TO TURN ON MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS TO WARN OTHERS BUT THEY DIDN'T RESPOND, THERE WAS NO POWER. HERE WE WERE COMPLETELY STUNNED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PRESENTING A CLEAR DANGER TO THE DRIVERS AROUND AND THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND.A FEW MINUTES LATER,WHICH FELT A LOT LONGER,THE CAR CAME BACK TO LIFE AND WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE OFF.EVERY TIME IT IS A DIFFERENT STORY AND THE DIAGNOSTIC ALWAYS SEEMS TO CHANGE.THE MECHANICS CAN'T PINPOINT THE ERROR SO THEY ARE SIMPLY GUESSING. I ASK GM TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CAR.I AM FRIGHTENED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I'M RISKING MY OWN LIFE AND THE LIFE OF MY FAMILY AND OTHERS. UNFORTUNATELY,I NEED TRANSPORTATION AND I HAVE NO CHOICE TO KEEP DRIVING A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. *TR

AS I WAS RIDING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I HEARD A LOAD POP OR CRACKING SOUND. I LOOKED AROUND THE VEHICLE AND COULDN'T FIND WHERE IT CAME FROM. WHEN I GOT HOME I INSPECTED IT A BIT FURTHER AND FOUND THAT THE DASH HAD CRACKED RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EYES. A FEW WEEKS LATER THE SAME SOUND OCCURRED AND I NOTICED A CRACK BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. ALTHOUGH IT WASN'T BIG I WAS CONCERNED. JUST A FEW DAYS AFTER THAT....ANOTHER POP. THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAD EXTENDED IN LENGTH. I HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT CHEVROLET REGARDING THE ISSUE BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A LONG HOLD TIME. THE REASON THAT THIS CONCERNS ME NOW IS THAT IN NOVEMBER I WAS T-BONED AT AN INTERSECTION AND PUSHED INTO A CURB ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND MUCH TO MY SURPRISE THE AIR BAD DID NOT DEPLOY. NOW I WONDER IF IT HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND IF THE CRACK WAS THE CAUSE. CONSIDERING THE AGE, THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND THE FACT THAT WE TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF OUR $30,000 INVESTMENT YOU WOULD THINK THAT CHEVY WOULD STEP UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. *TR
