2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY DURING A COLLISION OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT FROM SHARP PLASTIC EXPOSED DUE TO THE CRACKS IN THE DASH CUTTING THE AIRBAG OR SHARDS OF PLASTIC BECOMING PROJECTILES POTENTIALLY CAUSING INJURY TO OCCUPANTS. THE DASH IN THE TRUCK CRACKED OUT OF NO WHERE AND IS VERY POORLY MADE. THIS SHOULD BE REPLACED ASAP BY AUTOMAKER. *TR

THERE IS A CRACK ON MY DASH LEFT OF DRIVER HUMP AND ONE IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE FOUND THAT ALMOST ALL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN IN THEIR CHEVROLET TAHOES AND SILVERADOS AND MINE JUST HAPPENED TO HAPPEN AFTER WARRANTY. I NEED THIS FIXED. *TR

I GOT INTO MY CAR AT 1PM AND FOUND A CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ANOTHER WHERE THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY ON THE DASHBOARD. *TR

DOOR HANDLES BROKE AWAY. CHROME DOOR HANDLES ON PASSENGER SIDE (SO FAR) HAVE BROKEN, BOTH WITH THE FORWARD ATTACHMENT (SCREW). CHEVROLET HAS A TSI ON THIS. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS 2 CRACKS ON IT. ONE ON THE DRIVER SIDES, TOWARDS THE DOOR, AND ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, IN THE MIDDLE, DIRECTLY ABOVE THE AIRBAG. *TR

THE DASH CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE CORNER OF WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS. APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS AGO A LARGER CRACK APPEARED ON THE DRIVER SIDE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. GM KNOWS THIS IS A RAMPANT ISSUE BUT FAILS TO SHOW INTEGRITY AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE THOUSANDS OF CRACKED DASHES IN TAHOE, YUKON, AVALANCHE, SIERRA, AND SILVERADO TRUCKS. *TR

AT 90,000 MILES, ALL OF MY REAR BEARINGS WERE BAD AND HAD TO HAVE THEM REPLACED, BASICALLY A WHOLE NEW REAR END. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED UNDER THE 100,000 MILE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY. I HAVE ONLY TOWED A TRAILER TWICE WITH MY TAHOE, SO OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT SOMEWHERE. SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD; ONE IN THE AREA OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, AND THE OTHER ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE STEERING COLUMN. THESE BOTH OCCURRED ABOUT THE SAME TIME, AROUND 100,000 MILES. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO BE REPLACING THESE DASHBOARDS ON THEIR DIME AND NOT EXPECTING THE CUSTOMER TO FOOT THE BILL FOR THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. IT IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE. SHOULD THE AIRBAG SYSTEM HAVE TO DEPLOY, PIECES OF PLASTIC WOULD BECOME PROJECTILES THAT WOULD HARM ANYONE INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE THIRD ISSUE I HAVE, THAT BEGAN TODAY AT 109,000 MILES, ARE INVOLVING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE SPEEDOMETER DID NOT WORK, THE LIGHT THAT INDICATES WHICH GEAR YOU ARE IN DID NOT COME ON, AND THE SEAT BELT LIGHT AND AIR BAG LIGHT WERE ON EVEN THOUGH I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT. I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS, AND I'M HOPING IT IS JUST A BAD FUSE. I AM SO DICOURAGED WITH MY TAHOE LATELY. ALL OF THESE LITTLE THINGS GOING WRONG HAVE REALLY MADE ME LEARY OF BUYING ANOTHER GM PRODUCT, AND I'VE BEEN EXCITED ABOUT THE 2015 REDESIGN. NOT SO MUCH NOW. *TR

UPON PURCHASING MY 2007 TAHOE USED I NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON DASHBOARD. THE ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS CRACKED AT CORNER OF AIRBAG WHICH IS CONCERNING DUE TO AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT SHARDS OF PLASTIC COULD BE TURN ED INTO PROJECTILES. NOTICED THERE ARE MANY, MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES WITH IDENTICAL CRACKS AND LOCATIONS OF THEM. THANKS *TR

THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLE CHROME IS PEELING WHICH SEVERELY CUT MY DAUGHTERS FINGER. *TR

THE FORWARD SPRAG UNIT BROKE WHICH ENDED UP NOT ONLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME OUT OF DRIVE WHILE WE WERE DRIVING BUT ALSO CAUSED SIGNIFICANT ENOUGH DAMAGE TO THE TRANSMISSION TO REQUITE AN ENTIRE REBUILD. FAULTY TRANSMISSIONS ARE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND BECAUSE THE COMPANY REFUSES TO BACK THEIR PRODUCTS AND RECALL THE ISSUE, IT ENDS UP BECOMING A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN ON A FAMILY. THANKFULLY THERE WAS NO ONE FOLLOWING DIRECTLY BEHIND US WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. CHEVROLET NEEDS TO TAKE NOTE AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS. CONSUMERS HAVE A RIGHT TO EXPECT A QUALITY VEHICLE THAT SHOULD LAST WELL BEYOND 100K MILES WITHOUT REQUIRING THIS KIND OF MAJOR REPAIR. *TR
