Cracked 2009 Tahoe Dash

- Gonzales, CA, USA

I purchased the gm sts2 software and program my truck and now I have no brakes, have all lights on with calibration and rams problem I-??m sure that the calibration they provided to me, costed this problem and none off the lights are turning off, the truck lost brakes I have to stand on the paddle to stop the truck. Now I have no choice to send it the GM for there mistake. I spoke to acdelco sts2 rep. And he couldn-??t figure out the problem. And the hybrid system issue also. Both front air bag impact sensors cracks in the middle turns the light on. That-??s been a fault with all gm trucks. They need to update this problem.

One evening I drove to the store and placed my truck on park for about 10 minutes without shutting the vehicle off. Once I'm back in and going in reverse I noticed that the assisted power steering wasn't working. I disconnected the battery terminals and waited but the eps never came back on. I had the vehicle toed to my nearby Chevrolet dealer whom later concluded that the steering gear and some computer module needed replaced. They billed me for approximately $2900. Now, here I am exactly one year later with the same problem! expired warranty and a huge bill of repair. I have the dealer receipts on file.

Within last 90 days dash has developed cracks around passenger side airbag compartment, which runs all the way to the bolt attachment point. Also cracked above driver instrument cluster. When turning the steering wheel (in motion or not) has a slight rubbing sound, and I am told by repair shop that it is the wound wire ignition line to the driver side airbag. I am concerned that both deficiencies in design and manufacturing, could prevent air bag deployment, or case them to go off without a front end impact to the sensors. This is a common problem with this model vehicle for several model years, and GM accepts no responsibility for defective design and manufacture, unlike Ford & Toyota. This is not a mileage issue, it is a plastic interior part, and unrelated to mileage. This vehicle is garaged and not parked in sun for long periods.
