2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DIGITAL INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) LOCATED IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER (IPC) HAS STOPPED WORKING. HOWEVER, ALL OF THE NON-DIGITAL GAUGES SUCH AS SPEEDOMETER, FUEL, ETC STILL WORK PROPERLY. ALL OF THE DIGITAL DISPLAYED INFO SUCH AS ODOMETER, GEAR SELECT, MPG, TIRE PSI, ETC, IS NO LONGER VISISBLE. THIS DEFECT/MALFUNCTION OCCURRED UNEXPECTEDLY ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO. THE DEFECT/MALFUNCTION OCCURED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED (NOT MOVING) IN MY DRIVEWAY. I SIMPLY GOT IN AND TURNED THE KEY ON TO START THE ENGINE, AND THE DIC WAS NOTICEABLY BLANK. I LOOKED ON-LINE AND CALLED SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS FOR INFO REGARDING REPAIRS,, AND I QUICKLY LEARNED THAT THIS EXACT DEFECT/MALFUNCTION IS EXTREMELY COMMON AMONG 2007-2016 CHEVROLET AND GMC VEHICLES. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE BY ISSUING A RECALL. ALSO, FOR NO REASON AND WITHOUT ANY CAUSE, MY DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS ALSO A VERY COMMON DEFECT WITH MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL. IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY, WOULD THEY DEPLOY PROPERLY? AND EVEN IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY PROPERLY, IM AFRAID SHARDS OF THE PLASTIC FROM DASHBOARD WILL SHOOT ALL OVER THE CAR RESULTING IN INJURY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A SECOND VEHICLE. DURING THE CRASH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE BACK, SHOULDERS, ARMS, LEFT LEG, AND KNEE. THE PASSENGER SUFFERED INJURIES TO BOTH KNEES. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS RECEIVED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

IT'S ACTUALLY THE VERY COMMON DASHBOARD CRACKS, WHICH INEVITABLY WILL EFFECT MY AIRBAG IN THE EVENT ON AN ACCIDENT. AFTER AN ACCIDENT HAPPENS, IT'LL BE TOO LATE. I PURCHASED A USED 2007 TAHOE WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY IN 2010. I'VE HAD THE VERY CRACKED DASH REPLACED 4 TIMES BY CHEVY WHILE UNDER WARRANTY - WITH THEM FIGHTING IT. IF POSSIBLE, I THINK THE VERY QUALITY OF THE PLASTIC DECREASED SINCE PROBLEMS AROSE ORIGINALLY. MY DASH IS NOW CRACKED WORSE THAN ALL OTHERS PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED BY CHEVY, ALLOWING ME TO SEE THE THICKNESS QUITE CLEARLY, AND IT APPEARS MUCH MUCH MUCH THINNER THAN THE ORIGINAL DASH. NO MATTER WHAT, THIS IS WRONG AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. NOT ONLY CAN THIS EFFECT MY AIRBAGS, BUT THE SHARP EDGES AND NATURE OF THE PLASTIC ALLOWS FOR IT TO BECOME DEADLY PROJECTILES. A $40,000+ VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE THESE ISSUE. NOR SHOULD A $5 VEHICLE FOR THAT MATTER. CHEVY IS JEOPARDIZING THE LIVES OF NUMEROUS CUSTOMERS ALL IN THE HOPES OF SAVING MONEY - NOT LIVES!! PLEASE SEND CHEVY AN UNMISSABLE MESSAGE AND FORCE A RECALL. THIS WILL ONLY WORSEN AND INCREASE WITH TIME. DUE TO THE EXTREMELY POPULAR PROBLEM, THERE IS NO WAY CHEVY WILL BE ABLE TO DENY KNOWLEDGE AFTER SOMEONE IS KILLED. A LIFE WILL BE LOST DUE TO THIS. IT'S JUST A MATTER OF WHEN AND HOW MANY. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO GIVE EXACT DATES AS TO WHEN EACH DASH WAS REPLACED OVER THE LAST 6 YEARS, BUT I'M ON MY 5TH DASH AND I'M NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER. MY CURRENT AND 5TH DASH HAS 3 CRACKS THAT GET CAUGHT IN THE WIND AND LIFT WHEN THE WINDOWS OR SUNROOF ARE OPEN. PRETTY CRAZY. PRETTY DANGEROUS. AND CHEVY HAS KNOWN ALL THESE YEARS!! SHAMEFUL. AND YOU ALLOW IT.

DASHBOARD CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND ANOTHER LARGER CRACK BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. PLASTIC SHARDS WILL FLY THROUGH THE AIR IF IN A CRASH OR IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED.
