DASH CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. CONCERNED MORE ABOUT PASSENGER SIDE DUE TO AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE IS NOT MY EVERYDAY VEHICLE WITH VERY LOW MILEAGE AND KEPT INSIDE ITS WHOLE LIFE IN AN WELL INSULATED FULLY COVERED GARAGE.

WHEN TRAVELING ABOVE 30 MPH THEN DECELERATING, ONCE THE CAR GETS TO AROUND 15-20 MPH IT JUMPS FORWARD. IT'S SIMILAR TO WHEN YOU DRIVE A STICKSHIFT AND TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE CLUTCH AND THE CAR JUMPS FORWARD AS IF IT MIGHT STALL. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN REGULARLY. IF I DECELERATE VERY QUICKLY, THEN IT DOES NOT DO IT. IF I DECELERATE SLOWLY THEN IT DOES NOT DO IT. IT HAS TO BE SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN AND THE CAR IS CONFUSED BETWEEN STAYING IN GAS MODE OR SWITCHING TO HYBRID MODE AND AUTO STOP. THE CAR THEN JUMPS FORWARD WHEN CONFUSED.

THE AIR/HEAT SYSTEM COMPLETELY QUIT WORKING. NO SHOP THAT HAS LOOKED AT IT CAN TELL WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT.

NO RESOLUTION TO CURRENT AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 16V383. GM TELLS ME IT IS SAFE AND NHTSSA SAYS I MIGHT DIE.

I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED FOR OVER 3 TO 4 YEARS NOW. THE AIRBAGS ARE EXTREMELY A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY CAN DEPLOY AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I HAVE A GRAND CHILD THAT I TRANSPORT AND I AM SCORED FOR HER SAFETY IN THAT VEHICLE. THIS IS SAD HOW LONG THIS HAS BEEN UNREMEDIED. PLEASE HELP!

IT STARTED WITH SOME LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD THEN THE BRAKES SMOKING. WHEN DRIVING IT THE BRAKES SEEMS UNSAFE TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC SAID IT'S THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR . THEY CALLED SEVERAL PLACESES INCLUDED THE DEALERSHIP AND GM DOES NOT MAKE THAT PART ANYMORE FOR THE YEAR AND MODEL. SAID IT COULD BE ORDERED ONLINE THEY TRIED IT BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME PART NEEDED. THE MECHANIC SAID IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED TO DRIVE THAT'S IT'S VERY UNSAFE TO DO SO.WE HAVE DECIDED TO PARK IT AND NOT USE IT FOR SAFETY ISSUES. *LN

MY CURRENT 2008 CHEVROLET HYBRID TAHOE, VIN# [XXX] HAS AIRBAGS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER 2049152, NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V383. THE NHTSA HAS DEEMED THESE AIRBAGS HAVE CAUSED 16 DEATHS, AND HUNDREDS OF SERIOUS INJURIES. GM/CHEVROLET HAS STATED THE AIRBAGS ARE "SAFE" DESPITE THE NHTSA RECALL. I HAVE CONTACTED THE NHTSA AND THEY STATED THAT THE AIRBAGS IN MY VEHICLE NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND IN THE INTERIM UNTIL THEY ARE REPLACED NO ONE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO POTENTIAL RISK OF DEATH FROM THE AIRBAG EXPLODING WITHOUT REASON. THIS IS AN ABSOLUTELY ABSURD, BELLIGERENT AND UNACCEPTABLE BUSINESS PRACTICE GM IS BEING ALLOWED TO ENGAGE IN.
