2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I PURCHASED A 2009 CHEVY TAHOE USED AND A KNEW ABOUT THE CRACKING DASHES SO I MADE SURE THE ONE I PURCHASED DIDN'T HAVE ANY CRACKS. I THOUGHT MAYBE THEY HAD RESOLVED THE ISSUE. WELL, AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE OTHER DAY I LOOKED OVER AD NOTICED AND CRACK IN MY DASH RIGHT AT THE AIRBAG. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AS I HAVE 3 KIDS THAT RIDE IN THAT CAR AND IF THE AIRBAG GOES OFF I'M AFRAID THE PLASTIC WILL ACT LIKE SHRAPNEL AND REALLY HURT SOMEONE. GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS AND I CONTACTED THEM ABOUT IT AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MORE PEOPLE NEED TO COME FORWARD ON THIS MATTER AND GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS IT FAST BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

DASH HAS A 7 INCH CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF 2009 TAHOE AND I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY GM CAN PUT THE REPLACEMENT OF TAKATA AIR BAGS OFF AND PUT MY FAMILY IN DANGER. I UNDERSTAND OTHER CAR MANUFACTURES HAVE ALREADY STARTED REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS. DON'T THEY KNOW THERE IS A DANGER. THE STATEMENT FROM GM TO ME IS IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR. IF SO WHY DO THEY HAVE A RECALL AT ALL?

DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS CRACK AND MAY BE HAZARDOUS IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE STATIONARY. OTHER PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THEIR TAHOE HAS THE SAME CRACK IN THE EXACT SAME PLACE

DASHBOARD CRACKS - THE VEHICLES DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL EXTENSIVE CRACKS. THIS STARTED OCCURRING IN 2011 AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE YEARS. NOW A SECTION HAS COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF. THE DEALERS REFUSE TO ADDRESS THIS.

CRACKED DASHBOARD AND SPREADING - MY 2009 DASHBOARD HAS LARGE CRACKS IN SEVERAL PLACES AND IS NOW EXPOSING THE ELECTRICAL UNDERNEATH. NOT ONLY DO I FIND THIS VERY ALARMING SEEING AS THE AIRBAGS ARE UNDERNEATH BUT THE PROBLEM IS ONLY GETTING WORSE , IN MOTION OR NOT , AND THE RATTLING SOUNDS OF ALL THE PIECES HAVE BECOME SUPER ANNOYING. GM THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED! TAKE CARE OF YOUR CUSTOMERS!!!!

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND REPOSITIONED ITSELF. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF 3 WEEKS UNTIL THE DASH REPOSITIONED ITSELF. THESE CRACKS OCCURRED IN THE NORMAL COURSE OF DRIVING AND PARKING THE VEHICLE. THIS REPOSITIONING IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE CRACKS. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG APPEARS TO BE AFFECTED BY THIS CONDITION POSING A SAFETY RISK TO ANY FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. THESE RISKS INCLUDE IMPROPER DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAG PREVENTING PROPER PASSENGER PROTECTION IN A COLLISION AND PIECES OF THE DASH BECOMING SHARP PLASTIC PROJECTILES IF THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY AND POSSIBLY DEATH.
