2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ADJACENT TO CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PANEL AND ALONG TOP OF DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL. CRACKED DASH CONTINUES TO EXPAND. THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IS A SAFETY CONCERN IN THAT SHARDS OF THE PLASTIC MAY BREAK OFF DURING AN ACCIDENT AND/OR DURING DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAGS, IMPALING THE PASSENGERS. THE SAD PART OF THIS IS THAT I HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES ALSO BECAUSE THEY ALL BROKE OFF FROM THE CHEAP PLASTIC CLIP THAT HOLDS THE HANDLE IN PLACE - NO RECALL ON THAT EITHER. THIS IS INEXCUSABLE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE COST OF THE LTZ VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE DEFECTS ARE SAFETY ISSUES - MISHANDLING OF AIBAGS WHEN DEPLOYED AND SOMEONE ABLE TO ENTER YOUR VEHICLE THROUGH A BROKEN HANDLE!!!!!!!

2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. CONSUMER REQUESTS AIR BAG REPLACEMENT PARTS TO REPAIR AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL NOTICE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. UPDATED 07/19/2017*JS

SHORTLY AFTER MY 2008 WARRANTY EXPIRED I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING IN VARIOUS PLACES AND I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY OF THE PARTS IN THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP PARTS. AFTER MY LAST PART EPISODE, I DECIDED TO LOOK UP A COMMON THEME ONLINE; ONLY TO DISCOVER THERE ARE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING. HOWEVER, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IS MORE SERIOUS BECAUSE IT HOUSES THE DEFECTED TAKATA AIRBAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ON REPLACING THAT ISSUE EITHER. THE DASH BOARD FIRST CRACKED IN JULY 2011 AND ANOTHER CRACKED OCCURRED IN JULY 2017. I USE A DASH COVER TO PROTECT MY VEHICLE FROM HEAT; HOWEVER, NOTHING SEEM TO STOP THE DASH FROM CRACKING AND THE INTERIOR PARTS FROM FALLING A PART.

DASH BOARD OF CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKING IN ALL PLACES AND EXPOSING VEHICLE COMPONENTS
