2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

EXTENSIVE CRACKS IN DASH INCLUDING AROUND AND GOING UP TO FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PLACEMENT. FEAR IS THAT IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS SHARDS OF PLASTIC DASH MAY BE DISLOGED AND BECOME PROJECTILES.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACE. THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED IN OUR 2011 CHEV. SILVERADO PICK UP.

DASH BOARD CRACK AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG. LEFT INSIDE UPPER CORNER. VEHICLE WAS PARKED AT TIME IT HAPPENED. NO CHEMICAL HAVE BEEN USED ON DASH AND NO HEAVY OBJECTS HAVE EVER BEEN PLACED ON DASHBOARD. DASHBOARD HAS BECOME VERY UNSTABLE AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG

DASH CRACK APPEARING ON TOP LEFT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA AND DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER . THE VEHICLE WAS IN A ENCLOSED GARAGES;STATIONARY AND NOT RUNNING.FIRST NOTICED ON 04-04-2016

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND APROACHING A STOP, THE VEHICLE WAS SUPPOSED TO SHIFT FROM GAS TO ELECTRIC. HOWEVER, IT INVOLUNTARILY ACCELERATED EVEN WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED. IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, IT HAD TO BE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS PREMATURE DETERIORATION ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES OF THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HANDLES WERE FRAYING WITH SHARP EDGES. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE TWO FRONT INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA10004 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGE, STRUCTURE). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,700.

STARTED WITH A #4 MISFIRE AND NO ENGINE POWER AND DEALER SAID TRUCK WAS FINE. FINALLY AFTER 4 CYLINDER MISFIRING, DEALER AGREED TRUCK HAD AN ISSUE AND IS NOW SAYING I NEED A VALVE JOB DONE FOR # 1800.00 BUT IT LOOKS LIKE I SHOULD TELL THEM THAT ITS THE LIFTERS.. 74,000 ON MY 2007 TAHOE FOR A 25,000.00 TRUCK NOT ONLY THAT BUT THEY ARE SAYING IF THAT DON'T FIX IT THEN I NEED TO PAY 3500.00 FOR A CAM SHAFT. ITS RUNNING BUT CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON.

DASHBOARD CRAKED FROM ONE END OF THE PASSENGER SIDE TO THE OTHER END OF THE DRIVERS SIDE. ITS BEING GOING ON OVER TIME, I CAN ONLY THINK IT HAPPENED WHEN IS STATIONARY. HOWEVER, IT MIGHT OF CRACKED WHEN DRIVING ASWELL.

I OWN A 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE THAT THE DASH BOARD ALL OF A SUDDEN BEGAN SHOWING CRACKS, WITHIN A PEROID OF 3 MONTHS AFTER NOTICING, THESE CRACKS HAVE TRAVELED UP THE DASH BOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AND AT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER. EVENTUALLY THE DASH WILL FALL COMPLETELY IN. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED, THE DASH IS SO BRITAL THAT FRAGMENTS OF THE DASH WILL CAUSE SEVERE CUTS, AND BODILY HARM WITH THE POSSIBILTY OF DEATH.

MY 2009 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS DEVELOPED NUMEROUS CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT IS I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ARE PIECES OF THE DASH GOING TO BE SHOT AT/INTO PASSENGER AND/OR DRIVER/ I HAVE TRIED TO GET GM/CHEVROLET TO REPLACE AND THEIR OPTION WAS FOR ME TO SPEND $800 TO REPLACE THEIR DASHBOARD THAT HAS MATERIAL DEFECTS. THAT DOES NOT SEEM ACCEPTABLE AND I AM SURE IS NOT PRACTICAL CONSIDERING I HAVE READ THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. CAN THE NHTSA HELP?
