2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

AIR BAG LIGHTS CAME ON AND SENSORS NEED TO BE REPLACED I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS BEING IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT IS DEFECT ON GMC PART.

MY 2007 TAHOE HAS A NICE DASHBOARD COVER OVER IT. UPON REMOVAL ONE DAY, I NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS SEVERELY CRACKED. LARGE, SHARP, AND JAGGED PIECES COMPLETELY BROKE OFF. AFTER RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS DUE TO A DEFECT IN THE DASHBOARD. SINCE THE DASHBOARD HAS NEVER EXPERIENCED AN IMPACT, IT MUST BE DUE TO THE HEAT LIKE IN THE MANY OTHER CASES. HOWEVER, I LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON THE COAST SO IT IS NOT PARTICULARLY HOT HERE. IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT THESE SHARP PIECES COULD SEVERELY INJURE A PERSON OR EVENT PUNCTURE AN AIR BAG. IN THE COURSE OF REGULAR USE A PERSON COULD BE BADLY INJURED BY THESE SHARP PIECES OR THE JAGGED SHARP EDGES OF THE HOLES IN THE DASHBOARD. I HAVE CONTACTED GM/CHEVY AND THEY SAID THAT AS OF NOW THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP ME WITH THE $1,000 REPAIR, BUT THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. ALSO, IF THEY DO HELP ME THEY SAID IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "GOODWILL" AND IN DECIDING WHETHER TO HELP ME THEY WILL CONSIDER MY LOYALTY AND ASKED IF I GET MY CAR REGULARLY SERVICED AT THEIR DEALERSHIPS. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PAY THE REPAIR COST AND I AM AFRAID IF I GET IN ANY ACCIDENT THAT CAUSES THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL FURTHER SHATTER INTO SHARP PIECES AND PUNCTURE THE AIRBAGS AND/OR INJURE MY CHILDREN AND I. I ALSO FEAR SOMEONE REACHING UP ON THE DASH AND INJURING THEMSELVES. I HAVE SEVERAL GM CARS WITH MAJOR DEFECTS THAT COULD BE SAFETY ISSUES COSTING THOUSANDS TO REPAIR. GM'S DENIAL OF THESE POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARDS IS JUST AN ATTEMPT TO AVOID FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY. GM'S NEGLIGENCE IN DEALING WITH SAFETY HAZARDS HAS COST LOYAL CUSTOMERS THEIR LIVES RECENTLY. IT IS VERY DISAPPOINTING.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000. UPDATED 11/18/15*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED ACCORDING TO INTERNET RESEARCH UPDATED 1/12/2013 *JS *CN

WHILE CLEANING THE DASHBOARD I HEARD A LOUD NOISE AND NOTICED IT HAD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. ONE OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE "HUMP" AND THE OTHER AT THE AIR BAG. IT NOW HAS THREE CRACKS.

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DOOR HANDLES ON THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS AND THE REAR DRIVER SIDE DOOR WERE EXTREMELY SHARP.

THE TOP PART OF THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS ACROSS THE ENTIRE TOP SPANNING FROM DRIVER TO PASSENGER SIDE.

HI TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, I'M CONTACTING YOU GUYS IN CONCERNS OF A CRACKED DASHBOARD THAT INITIALLY STARTED AROUND MY AIRBAG AREA AND LATER ON CONTINUED CRACKING OVER MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. IN DO TIME I REALLY THINK MY DASH WILL HAVE HOLES IN IT ALLOWING ONE TO SEE ALL OF MY ELECTRICAL PARTS AND WHATSOEVER. THIS IS GOING TO IMPOSE A VEHICHLE SAFETY ISSUE DO TO IF GOD FORBID ONE GETS INTO AN ACCIDENT OF ANY TYPE AND DA AIRBAG DEPLOYS,ALL OF THAT SHARP PLASTIC WILL BE EMBEDDED INTO OUR FACES,ETC. GM NEEDS TO ISSUE AN RECALL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT CONSIDERED A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BEING THAT WHAT ACTIVITY TAKES PLACE ON MY DASHBOARDS!

CLEANING VEHICLE AND WHILE WIPING DOWN DASH NOTICED BIG CRACK IN DASH ON PASSENGER SIDE AT CORNER OF AIRBAG.

I HAVE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD AT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS FROM LACK OF QUALITY AS THE TRUCK HAS BEEN KEPT IN A GARAGE. I BELIEVE IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND RECALLED BY GM ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE.

THE VEHICLES DASH BOARD CRACKED NEAR THE AIR BAG. THERE IS SHARP PLASTIC AROUND THE AIR BAG THAT MAY CREATE A SAFETY ISSUE.
