| Description of the problem | Typical chevy tahoe dash cracking issue. It worries me that if i am in an accident that sharp pieces of plastic may cause more harm to someone inside the cabin than if it was addressed and repaired. Gm is at fault for using cheap materials and the consumer shouldn't have to pay. It isn't caused by anything that the owner of the vehicle is or isn't doing. Purely material and manufacturing defects. We pay $50k for these trucks each the least gm could do is spend the $500 if that per vehicle to replace it. |
