2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE GIVEN. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

CRACKED DASH OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. VEHICLE KEPT IN IMMACULATE CONDITION BUT IT APPEARS THAT THE HEATING /COOLING CYCLE ALONG WITH SUB-PAR MATERIAL AND DESIGN MAY BE CREATING A HUGE PROBLEM FOR A GREAT MANY OF TAHOE OWNERS. THE INITIAL CRACK WAS NOTICED DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS IN NORTHERN ILLINOIS AND OVER A PERIOD OF TWO-THREE WEEKS IT PROGRESSED FROM THE SEAM BETWEEN THE TWO DASH PANELS TOWARDS THE DRIVERS POSITION. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN WRECK, ABUSED, OR TAKEN OFF ROAD. UNKNOWN EXACTLY WHEN OR WHAT CAUSED THE DASH TO START CRACKING BUT IT SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING PROBLEM WHICH CAN CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE ALONG WITH A DECREASED VALUE OF THESE VEHICLES DUE TO POOR QUALITY. LOVE THE TRUCK BUT THE QUALITY AND CUSTOMER SUPPORT ARE VERY POOR.

DASHBOARD CRACKS NEAR AIRBAG AND OVER SPEEDOMETER. I BELIEVE THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE IF AIRBAGS EMPLOY DURING ACCIDENT WITH PIECES OF DASHBOARD CAUSING INJURY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DASHBOARD JUST ABOVE WHERE MY AIRBAG IS LOCATED HAS CRACKED, I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS MAYBE TO DO WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG.

THE DASH BOARD HAS A CRACK RIGHT NEXT TO THE AIR BAG ALSO ABOVE THE GAUGES. MY WORRY IS IF THE AIR BAG GOES OFF THE PLASTIC FROM THE DASH WILL POP UP AND PUT A HOLE IN THE AIR BAG. WHICH WILL THEN DEFLATE AND NO SERVE ITS PURPOSE. OR THAT PART OF THE DASH BOARD WILL BREAK OFF FROM THE IMPACT OF THE AIR BAG AND WILL HURT SOMEONE IN THE VEHICLE. PLEASE CONTACT. ME FOR PHOTOS IT IS SAYING THEY ARE TOO LARGE TO UPLOAD. THANK YOU *TR

DASH BOARD IS CRACKING AND HAS BEEN. CALLED AND WENT INTO DEALER AND ALWAYS TOLD NO RECALL BUT CAN THEY COULD REPLACE IT FOR $1000 - 1500 DOLLARS AT MY EXPENSE. I WORRY ABOUT THE AIR BAGS WITH PARTS OF THE DASH BOARD FALLING INTO THE DASH.

MY TRUCK IS SELECTED FOR RECALL.. BUT LETTER SAYS IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE. BUT THE LETTER ALSO EXPLAINS WHAT CAN HAPPENS IF THE AIR BAGS INFLATOR MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. ALSO THE INFLATOR CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS.. WELL IT'S SUMMER TIME AND THAT CAN HAPPEN IF I HAVE AN ACCIDENT.. NEED MY TRUCK TAKEN ASAP..

CHEVY SS TAHOE PURCHASED NEW IN 2007 HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE AREA SURROUNDING THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. IT IS MY CONCERN THAT IF THIS IS DEPLOYED THERE MAY BE PORTIONS OF THIS DASH THAT WILL BE DEPLOYED WITH THE AIR BAG. IN ADDITION THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACK ABOVE THE DRIVERS STEERING COLUMN THAT HAS SPLINTERED INTO MULTIPLE CRACKS. IN SPEAKING WITH MY INSURANCE AGENCY I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL OF CHEVY TAHOE 2007. I DO NOT SEE ANY RECALLS, BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY ALONG WITH THIS RECALL OF THE AIRBAGS FOR THIS VEHICLE TYPE.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BADLY AROUND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAG DOOR ON TOP OF DASH. MY CAR HAS HAD 2 DIFFERENT DASHBOARD AND THEY HAVE BOTH CRACKED IN THE EXACT SME SPOTS. BOTH DASHBOARDS CRACKED OVERNIGHT WILL SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA.
