NHTSA Complaint #10542054 — 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE

THERE ARE DASHBOARD CRACKS IN MY 2007 CHEVY TAHOE. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS 2? LONG, NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF ITS AN ANOMALY. IT ISN'T. I AM A MEMBER OF A FACEBOOK GROUP WHO CURRENTLY HAS 250 MEMBERS AND HAVE THE EXACT SAME DEFECT. IT APPEARS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME LOCATION AMONG HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS. I AM WORRIED THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE DASH IS A HAZARD IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. I CAN IMAGINE SHARDS OF PLASTIC CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY TO THE PASSENGER. THE COST TO REPLACE THE DASH IS BETWEEN $1,000-$1,500. THERE ARE MEMBERS OF THE FACEBOOK GROUP WHO HAVE HAD 3 DASHES REPLACED BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO FIX THE DEFECT. PLEASE REFER TO THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO WHERE IT SHOWS THE CRACKS ON SEVERAL GMC AND CHEVY AUTOS. HTTP://WWW.YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=3IKSCKLF7G8 PLEASE SEE THE FACEBOOK GROUP FOR MORE CONFIRMATION AND INFORMATION ON THE DEFECT. HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/251892298253/ CURRENTLY THE NHTSA HAS 98 COMPLAINTS FILED ONLINE RELATING TO THE DASH CRACKS, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO INITIATE AN INVESTIGATION. HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/OWNERS/SEARCHVEHICLES ALSO MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME UP AND THEY TELL ME THEY CANT FIND THE PROBLEM AND I ASKED IF THE CRACK IN THE DASH ON AIR BAG AFFECTS THAT AND THEY ALSO REPLIED THEY DID NOT KNOW THAT THE CODE JUST SAYS SOMEWHERE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND NOW I WILL HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SOMETHING BRAKES. *JB
