2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASH BOARD CRACKS ON THE PASSAGES SIDE BESIDE THE AIRBAG COVER. ALSO CRACKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FROM NEAR THE WINDSHIELD RUNNING TOWARD THE ODOMETER AREA. CRACKS APPEARED OVER TIME THAT I OWNED THE VEHICLE.

NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF GAS AFTER REFUELING ONE DAY, A FEW DAYS LATER NOTICED GAS LEAKING FROM THE TANK WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY. TOOK TANK OFF AND FUEL PUMP WAS RUSTED ALMOST ALL THE WAY THROUGH. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT HE HAD THE SAME THING HAPPEN TO ANOTHER 2007 TAHOE JUST A FEW WEEKS PRIOR.

I WAS NOTIFIED JULY 2016 BY US MAIL THAT MY VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN GM RECALL 49152 FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. I HAVE NEVER RECV'D ANY FURTHER COMMUNICATION FROM GM. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA 4/10/19 (ODI #11195391). I MAILED REQUESTED DOCS TO NHTSA 5/15/19. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM ANYONE AND THE ISSUE WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED AFTER 4 YEARS OF WAITING FOR A REMEDY.

OPEN AIR BAG RECALL ON MY VEHICLE SINCE 2016! THIS IS CRAZY. WHEN WILL THIS BE RECTIFIED! NOT SAFE

IT'S BEEN OVER 4 YEARS SINCE THIS MANDATORY RECALL AND CHEVROLET STILL HAS NO FIX FOR THE AIRBAGS. HAVING A CAR THAT I SPENT SO MUCH ON AND MAINTAINING IT CAUSE I LOVE IT BUT I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT SINCE I DON'T FEEL WE AS A FAMILY IS SAFE. I WASTED OVER $40K FOR IT TO JUST BE THERE...CAUSE WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN HAPPEN WITH THAT AIRBAG.

I BOUGHT MY CHEVY TAHOE IN 2012.WHEN I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE,THIS VEHICLE HAD 20 INCH TIRES THAT CAME WITH IT.BECAUSE OF THE LARGER,LOW PROFILE TIRES,THIS HAS CAUSED A BUMPY RIDE AND HAS CAUSED MANY REPAIRS TO THE FRONT END SUSPENSION.I HAVE CHANGED THE BALL JOINTS A FEW TIMES,WHEEL HUBS,FRONT SHOCKS,STEERING COLUMN UJOINT,AND CONSTANTLY GETTING FRONT END ALIGNMENTS.WHEN I GO OVER BUMPS,MY TRUCK SHIFTS TO EITHER LEFT OR RIGHT.I DECIDED IN 2020 TO CHANGED MY TIRES TO A DIFFERENT MAKE AND MODEL THINKING THIS WOULD CORRECT PROBLEM.IT DIDNT CORRECT PROBLEM.I HAVE SPENT ALOT OF MONEY FOR NOTHING
