| Description of the problem | I purchased the above used vehicle last summer and the dash at that time had two cracks one on each side of the dash. The cracks are located close to the front airbags one crack has now ran more than half way up over the instrument panel. I had filed a complaint with the bbb and then had spoke with an individual from gm they paid to have the vehicle inspected. Well i just feel like the cracks pose a safety hazard if the dash is that weak that it has cracked then what will happen if i was in accident the dash going to explode or maybe even make the airbags malfunction. Gm refuses to fix the dash i am sorry that is not acceptable this problem has apparently been going on for a good while. Why would a company not want to address this problem and avoid possible lawsuits. It's kinda like a wellness program do preventative checkups to save money in the future. These vehicle cost way to much to have such weak and unsupported dashes. I am not the only one who has complained about this and yet nothing is being done. This makes no sense to me at all this needs to be addressed and thoroughly examined. This tahoe also seems to have other issues it rides like a log wagon and put brand new tires on it last august. Now the front cap is peeling off and it appears to have been touched up it looks like someone took something and just put black spots all over the front. The tahoe is not driven on gravel roads and is not mistreated. I have had several suv's and this is the worst one i have owned and i am very disappointed. I will not recommend anyone to buy a suv made by gm because they do not want to take care of the problem at hand. |
