2008 Chevrolet TAHOE Structure Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Dash is cracked in three (3) locations. One location is near air bag and passenger air bag light will not engage. Dealership and gm directly have advised they will not repair. The airbag could deploy on its own, or could fail to deploy if needed, both of which are a safety issue. Dash cracks are large. Thousands of gm owners are experiencing this same issue. Electrical system has gone haywire. After three attempted repairs by a dealership, they finally replaced the negative battery cable. The vehicle would disable completely at random, requiring tows on too many occasions to recall. Electrical issues still remain. I am afraid that the vehicle will catch fire, as the electrical system appears to be engaged and operating when there is no power to the vehicle. Door handle on drivers side will not engage with automatic lock feature. Other doors lock and unlock, but drivers side will not. This is a serious safety issue, as the door has failed to open when needed in an emergency. The door handles have chrome covering coating. The coating is peeling off and is very sharp, resulting in cuts to your hands. I have attempted to file down the coating, but have finally covered it with duct tape to avoid further cuts to my hands and my passengers hands. On a cosmetic note, the coating on the steering wheel is all peeling off. All of the issues i have reported are happening to thousands of gm owners and gm has failed to accept responsibility for these issues. I have also been overcharged by an authorized gm dealership for time expended on repairs to my vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
