TAKATA RECALL THIS RE-CALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT SINCE 2016 AND NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED, I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT SOMETIMES THE LIGHT TURNS ON AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, THIS IS REALLY CONCERNING. IF SOMETHING HAPPENS THESE PEOPLE WILL BE SUED FOR NOT FIXING THIS SERIOUS ISSUE.

WHEN LOOKING TO PURCHASE ANOTHER TAHOE I HAD SEEN A LOT OF DASH CRACKS. THE ONE I PURCHASED WHICH WILL BE 2 YEARS THIS JUNE JUST GOT A CRACK ON THE DASH NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I GOT THE LETTER RECALLING MY AIRBAG AND I HAVE HAD NO OTHER INFORMATION. I CALL THE DEALER AND THEY TELL ME I HAVE TO WAIT FOR CHEVY TO SEND ME ANOTHER LETTER SAYING I CAN GET MY TRUCK REPAIRED. MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND THAT IS HER ONLY CAR AVAILABLE TO DRIVE. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW.

THE 1ST CRACK IS AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS APPEARED ROUGHLY 2 YEARS INTO OWNERSHIP. THE 2ND CRACK IS TO THE LEFT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, STARTING AT THE FRONT CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD AND MOVING BACK TOWARD THE HUMP OF THE CLUSTER CLOSEST TO THE DRIVER. A 3RD CRACK HAS APPEARED, BRANCHING OFF THE SECOND CRACK AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER POINTING TOWARDS THE DRIVERS WINDOW. THOSE CRACKS APPEARED ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO.THIS PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN KEPT UNDER SHADED CARPORT OR IN WAREHOUSE MOST OF IT'S LIFE.

OUR 2007 CHEVY TAHOE HAD BEEN DRIVEN FOR ABOUT AN HOUR AND THEN PARKED FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO HOURS. UPON STARTING THE TAHOE WITH COLD ENGINE AND PULLING AWAY FROM THE CURB THERE WAS AN IMMEDIATE SMELL OF SOMETHING TOXIC COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS FOLLOWED BY BLACK SMOKE FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND TURNED OFF AND LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THERE WERE FLAMES EMANATING FROM UNDER THE HOOD AND WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE HOOD WAS BLOWN OPEN AND THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES.
