2007 Chevrolet Tahoe Structure

MY TAHOE HAS MANY CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT IS SHOWING ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS. THE CRACKS BEEN THERE FOR A WHILE AND I TAKE REALLY GOOD CAR OF MY CAR. I AM AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS FLYING OBJECTS COULD INJURE ME MORE. I JUST NOTICED THAT IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHEVY TAHOES. PLEASE HELP US TAHOE OWNERS. THANK YOU! *TR

TWO LARGE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD AND NOW A 1' BY 1.5" HOLE ADJACENT TO THE AIRBAG. THE DASH IS CRUMBLING. THIS IS NOT A RESULT OF LOAD BEARING OR MOVEMENT OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS BRITTLE PLASTIC.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED BADLY AROUND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND PASSANGER SIDE AIRBAG DOOR ON TOP OF DASH. MY CAR HAS HAD 2 DIFFERENT DASHBOARD AND THEY HAVE BOTH CRACKED IN THE EXACT SME SPOTS. BOTH DASHBOARDS CRACKED OVERNIGHT WILL SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY IN THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD FRACTURED ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE DASHBOARD IN THE VEHICLE'S YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL; HOWEVER, THERE WAS NO RECALL TO ADDRESS THE FAILURE AND THE DASHBOARD WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING APART ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. PARTS OF PLASTIC ARE FALLING BEHIND/UNDER THE DASH DOWN WHERE THE AIRBAGS ARE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS DEPLOYING AIRBAGS WILL MOST DEFINITELY CAUSE PARTS OF THE DASH TO PROPEL THROUGH THE CAB CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY, OR BE PUNCTURED THEMSELVES UPON DEPLOYMENT AND PROVE USELESS. MY TAHOE IS IMPECCABLY MAINTAINED AND OTHERWISE LOOKS MOSTLY NEW ON THE INTERIOR. VERY DISTURBED UPON SEARCHING THE INTERNET TO SEE HOW WIDESPREAD THE PROBLEM IS AND NO FIX/RECALL OFFERED BY GM. DEALER QUOTED REPAIR IN EXCESS OF $1,000 TO CORRECT THIS VERY APPARENT MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN FIRST OBSERVED. WORSENS OVER TIME JUST SITTING STILL.

CRACKED DASH.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG. I NOTICED THIS DEFECT APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO. I KEEP IT IN THE GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME, OUT OF THE SUN.

MY DASH KEEPS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THESE CRACKS MAY CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASH TO BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME SINCE 2009. GM IS REFUSING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

CRACKED DASH, POTENT HAZARD OF PLASTIC DASH PIECES BECOMING AIRBORNE SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF CRASH WITH AIR BAGS DEPLOY. 2007 TAHOE DASH HAD SMALL 6 INCH CRACK AT THE 2 O CLOCK POSITION ON DRIVERS SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND SMALL 1 INCH CRACK ON RIGHT SIDE OF PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. AFTER 25 MPH HEAD ON CRASH AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY BUT ADDITIONAL CRACKS HAVE APPEARED. NOW 10 X WORST. PICS WILL SHOW. DEALER DOESN'T WANT TO REPLACE NOR INSURANCE COMPANY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AUTOMATIC LIFTGATE ON THE VEHICLE FAILED TO REMAIN OPEN WHEN PROMPTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 170,000.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN 5 PLACES. DASH BROKE IN HALF AND BOUNCES AROUND WHILE DRIVING. THE BROKEN PIECES ARE FALLING DOWN INTO THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES. THEY CONTINUE TO GET WORSE OVER TIME. IT IS CLEAR THE CRACKS OCCURRED IN NARROW, WEAK AREAS. 2 CRACKS IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND 2 CRACKS IN THE 1" AREA IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. WITH THE DASH FRACTURING AROUND THE AIRBAG, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY.

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.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 SPOTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THAT THE ONE CRACK THAT LEADS TO THE AIR BAG COVER...THAT COULD POTENTIALLY OPEN HITTING MY SON IN THE FACE CAUSING BODILY HARM. WHEN I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP (BRYAN CHEVROLET) FOR REPLACEMENT...I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY MY WARRANTY. HOWEVER, IF I WANTED REPLACED IT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE ($1000.00). BOTTOM LINE, I GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM, NOW THAT ONE CRACK HAS GROWN TO TWO CRACKS...AND THE OTHER CRACK IS ON THE LEFT CORNER OF THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I FIND IT APPALLING THAT SO MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED ON VARIOUS WEBSITES AND STILL GM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND MUCH LESS REPLACE ALL THESE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARDS. I AGREE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT FILED TO MAKE ALL AFFECTED PARTIES WHOLE IN A RETROACTIVE MANNER. THE GROSS AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS CLEARLY INDICATE THAT HIS NOT A FRIVOLOUS COMPLAINT AND GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD EXHIBITED EXCESSIVE CRACKS AND SOME AREAS COLLAPSED. THE PASSENGER SIDE TOP SURFACE CRACKS EXTENDED TO THE AIR BAG HOUSING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLE HAVE BROKEN ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS 2010, 2011, 2013, 2015. REPLACEMENT DOOR HANDLE ALSO BROKE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE IN PARK, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THERE WERE MULTIPLE FRACTURES ACROSS THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIR BAGS WERE LOCATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

SO FAR, 3 OF THE 4 EXTERIOR DOOR HANDLES HAVE BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THESE ARE CHEAPLY MADE PLASTIC, NOT DESIGNED TO HANDLE THE FORCE OF SIMPLY OPENING A DOOR. THIS CAR IS OTHERWISE IN GREAT CONDITION, HAS VERY LOW MILEAGE, AND IS USUALLY ONLY DRIVEN WITH ONE OCCUPANT. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOORS HAVE NOT BEEN OPENED VERY OFTEN FOR A CAR WITH MILEAGE IN THE LOW 40'S. THIS WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO SMALL CHILDREN OR PEOPLE WITH THIN FINGERS AS IT WOULD BE QUITE EASY TO GET A FINGER CAUGHT BETWEEN THE BROKEN DOOR HANDLE AND THE BODY OF THE CAR. THE HANDLES DO NOT LOOK BROKEN. THE ACT OF OPENING THE DOOR CAUSES THE HANDLE TO PULL AWAY FROM THE BODY OF THE DOOR. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. A DEALER TOLD ME TODAY THAT THEY REPLACED 8 HANDLES FOR 1 CUSTOMER. THAT'S AT A PRICE BETWEEN $250 AND $300 PER HANDLE. I WAS GOING TO BEGIN LOOKING FOR A NEW CAR TODAY. IF THIS IS HOW CHEVROLET STANDS BEHIND IT'S VEHICLES, THEY WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN MY SEARCH. *TR
