2008 Chevrolet Tahoe UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The contact owned a 2008 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while stopped by the school to pick up one of his children, the vehicle was parked. The contact then noticed smoke emanating from the driver's front seat. The contact safely removed his occupant, who was his autistic child, seated in the front passenger seat. The vehicle was engulfed in flames.  The fire department was called, and the fire was extinguished. The contact and his children did not sustain any injuries. The vehicle was towed to a local towing yard. The insurance company was notified and towed the vehicle to a facility used by the insurance company. The insurance company declared the vehicle a total loss. The contact believes the fire to be related to an electrical failure due to the hood of the vehicle not being damaged. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 134,000.

DASH BOARD CRACKS ON THE PASSAGES SIDE BESIDE THE AIRBAG COVER. ALSO CRACKS ON THE DRIVER SIDE FROM NEAR THE WINDSHIELD RUNNING TOWARD THE ODOMETER AREA. CRACKS APPEARED OVER TIME THAT I OWNED THE VEHICLE.

DASH BOARD IS BROKEN

MY DASH HAS CRACKED WITHOUT ANY FORCE BEING APPLIED TO IT DUE TO CHEAP MATERIAL USED IN MANUFACTURING ITEM. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH MAY CAUSE PARTS OF DASH TO PROPEL TO DRIVER AND PASSENGER CAUSING INJURIES.

I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING IN MY POWER, KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF MY CRACKED DASHBOARD/PAD. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO DOZENS UPON DOZENS OF OTHER TAHOE/YUKON OWNERS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND HAVE REACHED OUT TO GM FOR FURTHER ASSISTANCE TO ONLY HAVE BEEN TURNED AWAY.

REPORTING ODOMETER FRAUD

DASHBOARD SEVERELY CRACKED

THE DASH IS CRACKED ABOVE THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL AND LOOKS AS IF IT IS SEPARATING ALONG THE SEAM DOWN TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THERE IS ALSO A CRACK AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. VERY CONCERNED ABOUT UNNECESSARY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I AM UNCERTAIN OF THE EXACT DATE SO I PUT WHEN I NOTICED IT IN THE DATE LINE.

I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNER OF MY 2008 CHEVY TAHOE, MY DASH HAS CRACKED TWICE AND REPLACED, NOW MY DASH IS CRACKED AGAIN. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN ISSUE WITH THIS SPECIFIC VEHICLE AS I AM AMONG THOUSANDS THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. I DO NOT HAVE WARRANTY ANY LONGER AND NEITHER GM NOR THE DEALERSHIP WILL FIX THIS ISSUE FOR FREE. THIS IS WRONG AND NOT A GOOD WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS IF GM IS EXPECTING THOSE SAME PEOPLE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR THEM AS THEY OBVIOUSLY DO NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. A CRACKED DASH IS NOT A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE AND SIMPLY SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. IT SHOWS THE VEHICLE WAS MADE WITH THE CHEAPEST OF PRODUCTS. IT IS ALSO SOMETHING THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BE A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE DASH SITS OVER AIR BAGS, SO IF AN ACCIDENT SHALL OCCUR AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY COULD CAUSE MORE HARM TO THE DRIVERS. I AM APPALLED THAT NO ONE WILL FIX THIS ISSUE SINCE IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. I AM VERY UPSET AT THE CUSTOMER SERVICE BY DEALERSHIPS AND GM ALTOGETHER.

WE OWN TWO CHEVY TAHOE'S AND BOTH OF THEM (2008 & 2012) HAVE CRACKING DASHBOARDS. I AM CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF THE AIRBAGS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IS A HAZARDS TO DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

DASH CRACKING IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. RECENTLY PIECES BEGAN FALLING OUT AROUND PASSENGERS SIDE AIRBAG. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF ACCIDENT OCCURRED PIECES COULD BECOME PROJECTILE OBJECTS. OVER 10,500 SIGNATURES ON CHANGE.ORG AND STILL NO RESULTS TO SOLVE THE ISSUES.

DASHBOARD ON TAHOE IS CRACKING ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

MY CONCERN WHIT THIS VEHICLE IS THE DASH IS CRACKING ON PISES IS BE READING A LOT ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND TAHOE SIERRA AND YUKON'S .ALL GMC VEHICLES I THINK THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY THIS PISES CAN FLY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS ON THE MOVE AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS...

THE DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS CRACKED AND CONTINUES TO SPREAD. I FEAR THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WITH PIECES OF THE DASH BECOMING SHAPNEL

CRACKS ON DASHBOARD BE LIVED TO BE FAULTY MATERIAL OR CRAFTSMANSHIP. FEAR OF ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG INFLATION CAUSING DASHBOARD FRAGMENTS INJURING FRONT SEAT OCCUPANTS

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACKED FROM THE DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CRACK INVOLVES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COVER.

DASHED IS CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE NEAR PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER UNDER WINDSHIELD AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

WE BOUGHT A 2008 CHEVY TAHOE & THE DASH IS CRACKED NEAR THE AIRBAG LIKE MANY OTHERS & A BRAND NEW CRACK HAS HAPPENED ABOVE THE CLUSTER AREA. WE ALSO PURCHASED THE WARRANTY WHEN WE BOUGHT IT BUT GM WILL NOT COVER IT.

SHORTLY AFTER MY 2008 WARRANTY EXPIRED I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING IN VARIOUS PLACES AND I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY OF THE PARTS IN THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP PARTS. AFTER MY LAST PART EPISODE, I DECIDED TO LOOK UP A COMMON THEME ONLINE; ONLY TO DISCOVER THERE ARE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING. HOWEVER, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IS MORE SERIOUS BECAUSE IT HOUSES THE DEFECTED TAKATA AIRBAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ON REPLACING THAT ISSUE EITHER. THE DASH BOARD FIRST CRACKED IN JULY 2011 AND ANOTHER CRACKED OCCURRED IN JULY 2017. I USE A DASH COVER TO PROTECT MY VEHICLE FROM HEAT; HOWEVER, NOTHING SEEM TO STOP THE DASH FROM CRACKING AND THE INTERIOR PARTS FROM FALLING A PART.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. NOTABLY AROUND THE AIRBAG. DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED ONCE AT MY EXPENSE AND CRACKED AGAIN 2 YEARS LATER.
