2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WHEN YOU ENGAGE THE REAR AUTO LIFT GATE (LTZ) THE DOOR GOES 3/4 THE WAY UP AND THEN BEGINS TO CLOSE ON YOU LITERALLY TRAPING YOU BETWEEN THE DOOR AND THE REAR OPENING. AT FIRST IT WOULD HAPPEN EVER SO OFTEN, NOW I MUST PUSH THE BUTTON AGAIN TO STOP THE DOOR FROM CLOSING. THIS IS A DANGER ESPECIALLY TO CHILDREN.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ALL OVER WITH A LARGE CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THERE IS NOW A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS WHICH IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE CHEAP MATERIAL CHEVROLET PUT INTO THERE VEHICLE. IF AIRBAGS DO DEPLOY, PORTIONS OF THOSE CHEAP PLASTIC DASHBOARDS CAN BE DEADLY. GENERAL MOTORS, YOU ARE ON NOTICE. YOU HAVE LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR LIFE.

THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS ALL HAS CRACKED AND BROKEN.WITH NO REASON. IT ALSO BROKEN IN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE DASH. IT SUDDENLY HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS SMALL CRACK AND VERMIN FEW WEEKS BECOME A BIG CRACK.

WHEN I BEGAN MY MONDAY MORNING, IT WAS JUST AS ANY OTHER KENTUCKY MONDAY UNTIL I UNLOCKED MY BABY (2007 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ) AND NOTICED A VERY LARGE CRACK THAT APPEARED OVERNIGHT!! NOT ONLY IS THE CRACK ABOVE MY INSTRUMENT PANEL BUT ON BOTH SIDES OF MY PASSENGER AIRBAG! I AM BEYOND SICK. I HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER CHEVY'S I HAD. AS A MATTER OF FACT, THE GREAT TRACK RECORD OF MY OTHER CHEVYS IS WHY I PLACED CONFIDENCE WHEN PURCHASING THIS, MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE MODEL! I REACHED OUT, IN PERSON TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER, AND WITH LEG PROPPED UP, TIRED AND HOT LOOK ON HIS FACE I WAS INFORMED IT WAS NOT THEIR PROBLEM, THE VEHICLE WAS OVER 5 YEARS OLD. ASKING TO SPEAK TO THE SERVICE MANAGER SEEMED TO REALLY INCONVENIENCE THIS GUY, SO AFTER A CLOSED DOOR MEETING BETWEEN MR. TOO HAPPY TO BE HERE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER, I GOT A VERY "REHEARSED" SPILL ABOUT HOW THIS IS AN OLD VEHICLE AND UNLESS GMC TELLS THEM TO FIX IT, THEY AREN'T GOING TO FIX IT! EVEN THOUGH HE ACKNOWLEDGED THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM. (FYI I NEVER LOST MY COOL AND WAS HOPING THE CORDIAL, BUSINESS MANNER I PROJECTED WOULD HAVE BEEN RECIPROCATED.....WRONG!) THIS "OLD VEHICLE" HAS BEEN HAND WASHED, GARAGE KEPT AND KID FREE SINCE IT'S ORIGINAL PURCHASE, AND MAINTAINED WELL ABOVE THE MANUFACTURED RECOMMENDATIONS I'M SURE. AFTER READING A 135 PAGE FORUM OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS I, I HAVE AN OVERWHELMING FEELING OF BEING LET DOWN BY THE BRAND THAT I HAVE PURCHASED SINCE MY FIRST CAR, A 1986 CHEVY SPECTRUM.I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF I OR A LOVED ONE IS EVER IN AN ACCIDENT AS THE DASHBOARD CRACKS INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES OF FLYING SHRAPNEL!HOW CAN THIS NOT BE A SAFETY CONCERN? WHY CAN'T THEY REPLACE IT WHEN THEY REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG COMPONENT THEY ARE CURRENTLY LOOKING INTO REPLACING? WE HAVE BEEN TROLLING OUR CHEVY DEALER FOR A NEW TRUCK FOR MY SON OR ARE WE?

THE DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS ONE OVER THE STEERING WHEEL AND ONE OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I ALSO HAVE THE LIGHT ON AND OFF SAYING (AIR BAG SERVICE REQUIRED) AND THE CRUISE CONTROL N HAS NOT BEEN WORKING NEITHER FOR LIKE 2 YEARS ALL. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND CONCERN WHEN I TRAVEL WITH MY FAMILY AND THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL VERY BAD CRACKS THAT CONTINUE TO GET WORSE. THE CRACKS ARE EXTENDING TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I FEAR IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS THE AIRBAG MAY NOT WORK PROPERLY. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE HAPPENING FOR MANY SAFETY REASONS.

DASHBOARD HAS SEVERELY CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, AMONG OTHER AREAS. DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG COULD CAUSE SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC TO BECOME PROJECTILES POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY OR DEATH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD FRACTURED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD IN THE VEHICLE'S YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RECALL TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE AND THE DASHBOARD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

I BOUGHT THIS 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE BRAND NEW AN THIS IS THE 2ND CRACK ON MY DASH NOW IT HAS A LARGE CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG . I AM AFRAID OF THIS AIRBAG BEING PUNCTURED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT . AND A PIECE OF THE DASH BREAKING OFF AND STABBING THE PASSENGER . GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS FAULTY DASH MATERIALS THAT WERE USED! THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN THAT NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED ASAP! THESE CRACKS HAPPENED WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING NORMALLY , THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

MY IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED SUV HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASH THAT I BELIEVE IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY WILL CASH SERIOUS BODILY HARM. I AM CONTINUALLY FINDING PIECES ON THE DASH ON MY FLOORBOARD NEAR THE GAS PEDALS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND FAR FORWARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. AND RECENTLY WITH THE CRACKS GETTING WORSE I HAVE NOTICED THE BROKEN PIECES ARE STARTING TO FLAP AROUND WITH THE FORCED AIR COMING THROUGH THE VENTS.
