2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASH IS SEVERELY CRACKED OVER STEERING COLUMN AND ALSO AROUND AIR BAG. THIS IS NOT DUE TO A CRASH OR ANY COSMETIC CHANGES TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXPOSED TO HIGH HEAT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME EITHER.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. PREMIER CHEVROLET OF BUENA PARK (6195 AUTO CENTER DR, BUENA PARK, CA) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL, URGING ME TO CONTACT A DEALERSHIP TO GET MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT REPAIR PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN ISSUED AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN REPAIR PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I NOW FACE THE POSSIBILITY OF DRIVING MY CAR 900 MILES HOME FOR CHRISTMAS WITH FAULTY AIRBAGS OR PAYING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO FLY HOME AND RENT A CAR. WHILE GOING BROKE IS NOT FUN, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE HOLIDAYS, NEITHER IS DYING BECAUSE YOUR AIRBAG DECIDES YOUR TIME ON EARTH IS UP.

I BOUGHT MY 2007 TAHOE IN 2011. THE VEHICLE HAD A SMALL CRACK BY MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I BOUGHT A SUN SHADE VISOR, BUT THAT DID NOT HELP THE PROBLEM. OVER THE PAST 6 SIX YEARS THE DASH HAS CRACKED 6-7 MORE TIMES. IT CRACKED WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON TBE HIGHWAY, IT CRACKED WHEN MY TRUCK WAS PARKED RIGHT AFTER I TURNED MY A/C ON, ON A HOT DAY. I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE IF THE FAULTY AIRBAG THAT HAS TO BE REPLACED IS DEPLOYED, SMALL SHARDS OF PLASTIC MAY BECOME PROJECTILES CAUSING GREAT BODILY HARM. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES LIKE MINE ON OUR ROADS EVERYDAY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND THE PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED.

UNDER NUMEROUS CIRCUMSTANCES, THE "SERVICE STABLILITRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL " APPEARS IN THE DASH MESSAGE CENTER ALONG WITH AUDIBLE BEEPS. SHORTLY AFTER THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE ENGINE GOES INTO LIMP MODE WITH LIMITED POWER AND SPEED. I HAVE BEEN ON INTERSTATES WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THIS BECOMES CHALLENGING TO REMEDY ASAP AND GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE ORIGINAL PART SUGGESTED WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, THIS WAS REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO GO AWAY FOR 12-16 MONTH. THE PROBLEM HAS COME BACK AND THE THROTTLE BODY IS NOT SUSPECT THIS TIME. THE DEALER BASCIALLY TROUBLE SHOOTS THE PROBLEM WITH PARTS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DRAINED AS A FAILURE PROGRESSED CONCERNING THE AIR BAGS. THE DEALERS (ROSNER CHEVROLET, 800 S HARBOR CITY BLVD, MELBOURNE, FL 32901, (321) 723-3611 AND BOB STEELE CHEVROLET, 2800 FL-520, COCOA, FL 32926, (321) 632-6700) WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED NO SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT OBTAINED AN ONSTAR REPORT TO SPECIFY THE DIAGNOSTIC FAILURE CODES THAT FLASHED EACH TIME THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AS THE ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE AND THE AIR BAG FAILURE PROGRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 218,000. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY AIR BAG AND I DO NOT WANT ANYTHING TO HAPPEN TO MY PASSENGERS. I EITHER NEED TO SELL MY VEHICLE AND TAKE A LOSS BECAUSE OF A FAULTY AIR BAG RECALL OR I NEED THIS FIXED. ITS BEEN WELL OVER A YEAR WITH NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE WAS IDENTIFIED IN THE AIRBAG RECALL 18 MONTHS AGO AND STILL NO ACTION IS AVAILABLE. ALSO, I LIVED IN HOUSTON, TX FOR 15 MONTHS WHERE THE HOT HUMID CLIMATES CREATED A HIGHER RISK OF MALFUNCTION. CHEVROLET CORPORATE OFFICES AND SEVERAL CHEVROLET DEALERS HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO MAKE THE REPAIRS, 18 MONTHS LATER. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FULLY UTILIZE MY VEHICLE (I.E. I DRIVE IT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE) OUT OF FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY PASSENGERS.
