| Description of the problem | 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. |
