2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MUTABLE CRACKS IN DASHBOARD. THIS IS A WELL KNOW ISSUE WITH 07 TO 11 GM'S. THERE WAS NO ABUSE OR REASON FOR THE CRACKS. THE CRACKS ARE CAUSING SHARP EDGES AND POINTS THAT ARE DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER. AS WELL AS EXPOSING INTERNAL EQUIPMENT THAT COULD LEAD TO FAILURE INCLUDING AIR BAGS.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT EXTENDS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT COULD PROPEL PLASTIC MATERIAL INTO THE CABIN AND AT THE PASSENGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT NOTICED CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD TOWARDS THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIR BAG COMPONENTS AND CRACKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE NEAR THE GAUGES. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO REPAIR SOLUTION OTHER THAN STATING TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

ALL THE TIRE PRESSURE SENIORS ARE SAYING TO CHECK THE TIRES. THERE IS CORRECT PRESSURE IN TIRES WHEN I CHECK THEM, AND OF COURSE THE DASH MONITOR IS BLINKINGLIKE CRAZY ALL THE TIME. MY TIRE MAN SAID IT WOULD BE LOTS OF BUCKS TO REPLACE THEM. HE SAID BY LAW THEY CAN'T TAKE THEM OUT. WHAT CRAP, AND A HUGE WASTE OF MONEY. LISTEN UP GENERAL MOTORS, WE DO NOT NEED ALL THIS ELECTRONIC CRAP ON OUR CARS. WHAT A RIP OFF!!!

THE TRUCK WAS HAVING DRY START UPS WINTER OR SUMMER..COULD HEAR THE LIFTERS TAPPING REALLY HARD UNTIL OIL HITS IT,,LIFTERS COLLASPED ON RIGHT SIDE NOW THE LEFT IS DOING THE SAME AND WARRANTY WONT FIX..ALSO THE LEVELING PUMP KEEPS GOING OUT AND THIS IT RHE SECOND ONE IN TWO YEARS THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED..ALSO THE DRIVER MIRROR WILL NOT ROLE IN SO WHEN I PARK NOONE WONT HIT IT..ALSO DASH IS CRAXK OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS..ALSO THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING INTO SECOND GEAR AND IT RUMBLES INSIDE WHEN IT DROPS TO 4 CYLINDER..

A CRACK APPEARED RECENTLY ON THE DASHBOARD STARTING AT THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I JUST HOPE A FRIEND OR FAMILY MEMBER IS NOT KILLED IF I EVER WERE TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS. WHY HAS GM IGNORED IT AND NOT STARTED AN INVESTIGATION?

A CRACK HAS DEVELOPED ON THE DASHBOARD BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THE DASHBOARD WAS COMPLETELY REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY BY THE DEALER (BRYAN CHEVROLET, METAIRIE, LA) IN 2010. THIS IS A WIDELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL GM TRUCKS AND SUV IN THIS "CLASS". THIS IS A DEFECT AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL DUE TO POSSIBLE INJURY DUE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG AND ON TOP OF THE ODOMETER/ SPEED AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE IF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG GOES OFF. POTENTIAL FOR IT TO SHOOT PLASTIC SHRAPNEL INTO CABIN AND IT'S OCCUPANTS. I HAVE CHILDREN AND I FEEL UNSECURED RIDING MY TRUCK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS THREE CRACKS THAT WERE GETTING LARGE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ONE OF THE CRACKS WAS LOCATED NEAR THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE A 2008 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ AND THE DOOR LOCKS JUST QUIT WORKING ONE DAY. ON ALL 4 DOORS!! THE KEY FOB WILL NOT LOCK OR UNLOCK THE DOORS NOR WILL THE LOCK OR UNLOCK BUTTON IN THE CAR WILL WORK. I FEEL THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WHAT IF YOU ARE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT WITH NO WAY TO LOCK YOUR DOORS AND SOMEONE JUMPS IN YOUR CAR WITH YOU WITH A GUN! I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN FOR ME! PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE DOOR LOCKS.
