Dash cracking due to inferior materials. Widespread issue that GM is aware of, they will not do anything on their own. It's time a decision is made in favor of the consumers who pay so much money for these overpriced cars.

problem #129

Tahoe

  • 130,000 miles
I recently started to notice an odor coming from the air ducts, while running my air conditioner. I called up a local Chevrolet dealership, hoping they may schedule me for a servicing of my cabin air filter. I called the parts department, to which they informed me that they did, in fact, carry the parts needed (using my VIN). I scheduled my appointment but still had a few questions and asked if I may speak with a service adviser/technician (it took me a week before I was called back). I finally was able to speak with an adviser that, after speaking with one of the technicians, informed me that my vehicle does not have a cabin air filter, thus, there is no need to have it serviced. After doing some research online, I came to the conclusion that my vehicle did not have a cabin air filter installed, however, it does have the housing/slot for one. I purchased a cabin air filter and cover. The directions seemed simple enough that I did not need to take it anywhere as I am somewhat mechanically inclined. I was appalled by what I found when I removed the seal. Ten years of standing water, led to an infestation of mold and bacteria, that I and any passengers have been breathing in. Attached are pictures I took after cutting out the seal to install a cabin air filter. I would greatly appreciate any and all explanations as to why this was never addressed and what GM may recommend so that this may never happen again. I understand that my year and model of Tahoe (along with other models that do not come equipped with a cabin air filter) is not the only one with this flaw, and cannot see how anyone would continue to sit in, let alone drive in, a bacteria/disease-ridden vehicle. Email sent to Chevrolet customer assistance (to which they informed me that based on my vehicles age and mileage, that they would be unable to assist me.

Tahoe

  • 103,000 miles
I have complained to dealership over the past year that my dashboard above the instrument cluster and around the passenger side airbag has been cracking. They stated that if it begins to crack around airbag, that it could cause a safety concern. It has now cracked around the airbag and I'm concerned that this could cause a disruption in airbag/flying debris towards passenger if it were to deploy (possible severe injury or even death). The dealership stated there isn't a recall for this as it's common for this to happen in GM vehicles but that it's a known issue and that sometimes they will cover the cost.

Takata recall ad more. 2007 Chevy Tahoe LT3. First denied claim on cracked dashboard as warranty was up. Then Chevy recalls chrome interior door handles, but my Tahoe is no in the recall. My kids have cut their hands on the peeling handles I took it to GM the said too bad your mileage is to great we wont honor recall furthermore your vehicles is not listed in recall. How is it not listed when all chrome interior handled vehicles where recalled? they told me to take a hike. Now I have had a air bag recall for over a year, and a very cracked dash which GM will not fix. If the "recalled" air bags did as they have done and the state of my dash there will be significant injury to occupants. GM does not care, they have addressed the situation numerous times and nothing they are doing is correcting the issue.

Serious and extensive cracking of the dashboard above the instrument cluster and at the passenger side air bag. The crack would cause dangerous caving of the entire dashboard area in the event of a crash and could interupt the efficient deployment of the airbag system.

Tahoe

  • 30,000 miles
The 1st crack is at the upper left corner of the passenger air bag. This appeared roughly 2 years into ownership. The 2nd crack is to the left of the instrument cluster, starting at the front closest to the windshield and moving back toward the hump of the cluster closest to the driver. A 3rd crack has appeared, branching off the second crack at the instrument cluster pointing towards the drivers window. Those cracks appeared about 3 years ago.this product is defective. The vehicle has been kept under shaded carport or in warehouse most of it's life.
