2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING APART ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. PARTS OF PLASTIC ARE FALLING BEHIND/UNDER THE DASH DOWN WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS DEPLOYING AIRBAGS WILL MOST DEFINITELY CAUSE PARTS OF THE DASH TO PROPEL THROUGH THE CAB CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY, OR BE PUNCTURED THEMSELVES UPON DEPLOYMENT AND PROVE USELESS. MY TAHOE IS IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED AND OTHERWISE LOOKS MOSTLY NEW ON THE INTERIOR. VERY DISTURBED UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO SEE HOW WIDESPREAD THE PROBLEM IS AND NO FIX/RECALL OFFERED BY GM. DEALER QUOTED REPAIR IN EXCESS OF $1,000 TO CORRECT THIS VERY APPARENT MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN FIRST OBSERVED. WORSENS OVER TIME JUST SITTING STILL.

AFTER BUCKLING THE SAFETY BELT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE , MY WIFE AND I TUG ON THE LATCH SEVERAL TIMES TO MAKE SURE IT IS ENGAGED. WHILE DRIVING THE SEATBELT LATCH WILL BECOME DISENGAGED BY ITS SELF. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MANY OCCASIONS AND SEAMS TO INCREASE IN FREQUENCY WHILE DRIVING ON A BUMPY ROAD. I CALLED THE 800-630-2438 FOR CHEVY RECALLS BUT THE MAN IN THE PHILIPPIANS DID NOT ACT LIKE HE WAS INTERESTED IN WHAT I HAD TO SAY. HE DID GIVE ME A CASE NUMBER OF 8-2177870626. I DID TELL HIM THAT I WOULD BE FILING A SAFETY REPORT. I WOULD GUESS THE MANUFACTURE USED CHEEP PLASTIC PARTS WHERE A STURDY METAL PART SHOULD HAVE BEEN USED. WITH THIS LATCH OPENING WHILE DRIVING THEN HOW IS IT GOING TO PROTECT THE OCCUPANTS DURING AN ACCIDENT?

MY STRABILITRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL BEGAN FLASHING ON AND CAUSED THE BRAKE LIGHTS TO TURN OFF. THEN IT READS, ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. THIS BEGAN IN NOVEMBER 201. I HAVE TAKEN IT THREE TIMES TO BE FIXED. FIRST I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE THROTTLE BODY, THEN A SWITCH GEAR, THEN A FUEL INDUCTION CLEANING SERVICE. IT IS STILL HAPPENING, JUST TWICE THIS WEEK. THE ENGINE SLOWING DOWN WHILE ON THE FREEWAY PROVES TO BE DEADLY. IN REVIEWING COMMENTS IN THE CHEVROLETFORUM.COM MANY CONSUMERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE SAME RESULTS (A GUESSING GAME) WHY ISN'T THIS A RECALL?

ON THURSDAY MAY 19TH AT 8:35 PM, WHILE I WAS DRIVING HOME ON I-696W WHEN MY DRIVER'S SEATBELT BELT DISENGAGED AND RETRACTED ON ITS OWN. WHILE DRIVING, I IMMEDIATELY TRY TO RECONNECT THE BELT INTO THE BUCKLE, BUT IT WOULD NOT GO IN. I MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO RECONNECT. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO THE BUCKLE. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME IN MY GARAGE AND PRECEDED TO GET OUT, THE SEATBELT WOULD NOT COME OUT. I HAD TO STRUGGLE AND PULL ON THE SEATBELT SEVERAL TIMES WHILE TRYING TO PUSH THE BUCKLE RELEASE BUTTON. AFTER 10 MINUTES, I WAS FREE. THE NEXT MORNING (5/20/16) WHILE GOING TO WORK, THE SEATBELT CAME OUT AGAIN. IT WOULD GO IN AND IF I MOVED FORWARD, THE BELT WOULD DISENGAGE. MY SEATBELT CONTINUED TO SLIP OUT OF THE BUCKLE. AS OF MAY 23RD, MY SEATBELT WILL NOT EVEN GO INTO THE BUCKLE. I CANNOT ENGAGE THE DRIVER'S SEATBELT AT ALL!! THESE SEATBELTS SHOULD NOT BE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD LAST THE VEHICLE LIFE.

DASHBOARD CRACKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS WITH THE CRACKING GETTING LARGER FROM ONE SIDE OF DASHBOARD TO THE OTHER.

I HAVE A 2007 TAHOE THAT HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL CRACKS IN THE DASH. ONE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND ANOTHER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT SHOULD THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOY, THE DASH PIECES WILL BECOME SHRAPNEL, CAUSING AVOIDABLE INJURIES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS AND FOUND IT TO BE DISTURBINGLY COMMON FOR THESE VEHICLES. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND METICULOUSLY CARED FOR. WILL GM BE MADE TO STAND BEHIND THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES?

MY TAHOE HAS MANY CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT IS SHOWING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE CRACKS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE AND I TAKE REALLY GOOD CAR OF MY CAR. I AM AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS FLYING OBJECTS COULD INJURE ME MORE. I JUST NOTICED THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHEVY TAHOES. PLEASE HELP US TAHOE OWNERS. THANK YOU! *TR

130,000 MILES ON THIS 2007 TAHOE. HAD JUST EXITED THE FREEWAY AND WAS GOING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A HIGH TRAFFIC STREET (SPEED LIMIT IS 55) WHEN MY CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THE ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, ENGINE STABILIZING, BRAKE LIGHT TURNED ON, TRACK CONTROL STABILIZING, EVERY LIGHT/SENSOR TURNED ON AS MY CAR WAS SHUTTING DOWN. THE ENGINE WAS STILL ON AND WAS SHAKING BUT I COULD NOT DRIVE. I TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN TURNED IT BACK ON JUST SO I CAN TRY TO GET BACK TO WORK. TAKING IT TO THE SHOP AFTER WORK TO SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD DRIVER SIDE RIGHT BY STEERING WHEEL ALSO PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIRBAG
