problem #19

Aug 082016

Tahoe

  • miles
Dash board is cracked over the instrument cluster. I am concerned the airbag will shred pieces of the dashboard into my truck cabin causing serious injury or death. The plastic used for this dash is very flimsy, thin, and cheap, yet the cost to replace and repair is over 1,000! ridiculous. At almost 50,000 dollars new, Chevrolet should take care of their customers investment, and NHTSA should ensure our safety with this defective product. My 2013 Chevy Tahoe has only 50,000 miles and is garage kept. I use a reflector in the windshield daily when at work.

Dash is cracking around passenger airbag. Vehicle is garage kept and a sun visor used when parked in the sun.

The crack seems cosmetic but given the location, I am concerned about the integrity of the air bag assembly

On Monday 05/25/15 my husband noticed a small crack in the dash on the drivers side. I have watched in the past couple days it grow in size and have taken pictures to document it too. I am upset as this is a new car I purchased used from a GM dealer. I have read that another crack is soon to be expected on the passenger side by airbag and causing it to possible deploy or deemed unusable. I have 2 small children and no safety is a concern. This issue needs to be resolved quickly.

I was driving up a grade during a snow storm and when I tried to select 4WD I had to take my eyes off the road to find the 4WD control knob, which is hidden behind the steering wheel. I consider this a serious problem because I nearly wrecked while trying to locate the 4WD control knob. I blame this on faulty engineering by GM!
