2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED, UNEXPECTEDLY (HAVING ONLY 76,000 MILES) ON MY TAHOE LTZ 2007. IN MY REVIEW AND RESEARCH OF THIS ISSUE I HAVE SEEN A COMMON TREND WITH GM FOR THESE MODELS. AMONG THIS TREND, AND INCIDENTALLY FROM MY RESEARCH, THEY ARE ALL CRACKING IN THE SAME SPOTS AS MINE. ABOVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG. IN LIEU OF THESE THESE DASHBOARD CRACKS, AND COMBINED WITH THE EXISTING RECALL THAT HAS NO SOLUTION FOR FIX- SURROUNDING THE TAKATA INFLATORS AMONG THE AIRBAGS, THIS BECOMES A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD THERE BE AN ACCIDENT. THE TIME TO MAKE CORRECTIONS AND FIXES, NOT AT THE OWNER'S OR PASSENGERS' EXPENSE, IS BEFORE AN ACCIDENT OCCURS. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY ADVISE OR INSIGHT SURROUNDING THIS MATTER. I DO HAVE PHOTOS ON MY PHONE FOR FUTURE DOCUMENTATION SHOULD IT BE NEEDED. YOUR ASSISTANCE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED IN THIS MATTER. PLEASE NOTE, THIS TAHOE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED. IT'S DOCUMENTED HISTORY AND APPEARANCE ATTEST TO THAT FACT.

MY DASHBOARD HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS ON AND AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT WHICH COMPROMISE SAFE AND EFFECTIVE DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG IN COLLISION.

TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM MY DEALER/VIA ONSTAR NOTIFYING ME THAT I COULD NOW SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT OF THE INFLATORS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT, BUT WHEN I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN (WHICH WAS THE MAIN REASON I SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE ONLINE) THEY SAID IT WASN'T READY FOR THE FIX AND THAT THE RECALL NUMBER WAS "NOT CORRECT, NOT IN THEIR SYSTEM". I VERIFIED THRU NHTSA RECALL INFO THAT THE RECALL NUMBER WAS IN FACT CORRECT. I FEEL DUPED INTO BRINGING MY CAR IN AND OF COURSE THEY THEN TOLD ME ALL SORTS OF ITEMS THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT (OVER AND ABOVE THE FACTORY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE, E.G., DUE TO TIME VS. MILEAGE). SO I FEEL THAT I AND ANYONE ELSE RECEIVING THESE EMAILS ARE GETTING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. I REPLIED TO THEIR EMAIL THAT I HAD SCHEDULED THE REPAIR AND NO ONE CONT

TAKATA RECALL BEEN WAITING FOR 2 YEARS FOR GM TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM! IT IS UNSAFE AND I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD HAVE TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE DUE TO IT PUTTING MYSELF AND MY WIFE'S LIFE AT RISK!

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ALL GENERAL MOTORS DEALERS IN THE RIVER PARISHES AREA. ALL TOLD ME THAT CHEVROLET GENERAL MOTORS HAVE INSTRUCTED ALL DEALERS NOT TO REPAIR ANY AIR BAGS BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT PROVEN THAT THESE AIR BAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AS TOLD. I HAVE VERY SERIOUS OSTEOPOROSIS TO THE POINT IF THESE AIR BAGS GO OFF BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT, I WILL BE CRIPPLED FOR LIFE. MY BONES WILL NOT BREAK - THEY WILL CRUSH. THIS IS A VERY CRITICAL SITUATION AND OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE TO GET THIS FIXED. ALL OTHER VEHICLE MANUFACTURERS HAVE CHANGED THEIR AIR BAGS - ONLY CHEVROLET IS REFUSING! IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE SO THAT I CAN RIDE IN PEACE AND NOT BE PUT IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION SUCH AS THIS.
