I contacted Don Mealey Chevrolet in Clairmont Fl and was informed by them they can do air bag recall. But I must sign a waver if the dash crackes in the process they are not responsible for damages and I will have to pay for dash if I want it fixed. Why would I be responsible if this is a recall.I contacted Chevrolet and was informed its a case by case thing and they will not guarantee dash being fixed. Why would I want to chance this.

I wanted to express a concern regarding my vehicle. There are several wires exposed on my dashboard where multiple cracks have developed over time. I have been hesitant to bring the vehicle in for the airbag recall replacement because I am concerned that the existing damage to the dashboard could worsen during the repair process. My primary worry is that additional cracking could expose more wiring to heat, which may increase the risk of electrical issues, wire corrosion, or even a potential fire hazard. I would appreciate any guidance on how this situation could be addressed safely while completing the necessary recall work. Thank you for your time and assistance. I look forward to your advice on the best next steps.

The dashboard has cracked and split around the passenger side airbag. The sharp edges of the plastic could be a hazard in an accident. The edges are very sharp.

I PURCHASED MY 2010 IN 2011 AND THE DASH CRACKED IN 2012. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER TWICE AND CHEVY WILL STILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR ITS POOR QUALITY AND MANUFACTURING. A VEHICLE THAT IS ONLY TWO YEARS OLD AND HAD NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT SHOULD NOT HAVE COSMETIC DAMAGE. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURERS PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY THE COMPANY. MY TRUCK WAS WORTH 48,000 AT THE TIME AND I SHOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR A REPAIR CAUSED BY POOR QUALITY OF THEIR MATERIALS. NOW MY VEHICLE IS 9 YEARS OLD AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN MY SON WAS DRIVING.... THERE WAS NO WRECK OR IMPACT WITH ANYTHING AND THEY DEPLOYED. THE QUALITY USED BY CHEVY IS TERRIBLE AND I DO NOT PLAN ON PURCHASING ANYTHING ELSE FROM A COMPANY THAT SELLS OVER PRICED VEHICLES WITH CHEAP AND FAULTY PARTS THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR.

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2010 TAHOE HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS AND IS BROKEN ALL OVER FROM NO FAULT OF MY OWN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE FOR MANY PEOPLE WITH GM VEHICLES OF THIS NATURE AND THE COMPANY WON'T HELP ME REPAIR OR REPLACE MY DASH. I'M SCARED THAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT THAT THE AIRBAGS WONT DEPLOY OR IF THEY DO, IT WILL BE WITH THOUSANDS OF DANGEROUS BROKEN PLASTIC CHARDS! I AM SEEKING HELP IN THIS MATTER SO THAT THE COMPANY CAN UNDERSTAND THAT THEIR PRODUCT HAS FAULTS AND IS PUTTING CONSUMERS IN RISK OF SERIOUS HARM AND INJURY.

TAKATA RECALL HAS BEEN AN ONGOING, UNRESOLVABLE ISSUE SINCE IT BEGAN. THE DEALER HAS NO INSIGHT AS TO WHEN, IF EVER, IT WILL BE FIXED. THEY SAY TO KEEP WATCHING THE NHTSA/GM BOARDS FOR UPDATES. OTHER ISSUE IS THE DASHBOARD & ITS CRACKING. I HAD FILED WITH THE NHTSA IN 2017 WITH THE ORIGINAL CRACK THAT HAPPENED BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG (YOUR TRACKING NUMBER ASSIGNED BY NHTSA FOR THIS ISSUE IS 10939141), BUT AM ADDING THIS SITE NOW. ADDITIONALLY, THE DASH HAS CRACKED BEHIND THE DRIVER'S "POD", CONNECTIONS HAVE LET LOOSE FOR THE MIDDLE PORTION OF THE DASH ALLOWING IT TO FLAP OVER BUMPS & THE LATEST IS THE NEW METALLIC RATTLE THAT HAS BEGUN SOMEWHERE BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/DASH AREA. I HAVEN'T HAD ANY CRACKING OFF OF SHARDS, BUT AS THE TRUCK WAS REGULARLY GARAGED, PARKED IN A PARKING GARAGE AT WORK, & NOW IN A CARPORT, IT'S FRUSTRATING TO HAVE THINGS OCCUR WITHOUT THE BLAZING SUN TO CONTRIBUTE. UNLIKE OTHERS, I HAVEN'T HAD MAJOR CUTS OR FLYING PIECES, JUST SMALL CUTS TO FINGERS WHEN I FORGETFULLY AM WIPING DOWN THE DASH. I'VE SPOKEN WITH THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AS THINGS HAVE PROGRESSED ON THE DASH & INITIALLY THEY SAID IT WAS UNFORTUNATE & TO WATCH THE ORIGINAL ONE (PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA), BUT AS THERE ARE NOW MORE ISSUES WITH THE DASH, THEY SAY TO TAKE IT UP WITH GM DIRECTLY. I HAVEN'T STARTED THAT PROCESS YET, BUT AS THE AIRBAGS & THE DASH ARE A NEVER-ENDING ISSUE, I WILL MAKE AN ATTEMPT TO START.

WITHIN THE LAST THREE MONTHS OUR TRUCK WHICH HOLDS 6 QUARTS OF OIL HAS BURNED OFF 4 QUARTS, 6 MONTHS AGO THIS PROBLEM DID NOT EXIST

Nov 23, 2017

THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF. WHEN ACCELERATING AFTER A STOP OR SLOWING DOWN, THERE IS A "PAUSE" IN ACCELERATION. I HIT THE GAS AND THE VEHICLE SLOWS DOWN SIGNIFICANTLY BEFORE IT JERKS FORWARD AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN I'M MAKING A LEFT TURN AND HIT THE GAS IT WILL SLOW DOWN AND THEN SHOOT FORWARD REALLY QUICKLY. SOMETIMES THE FORWARD JERK IS SO POWERFUL IT WILL MAKE THE TIRES SQUALL AS IF I'M PURPOSEFULLY TRYING TO "BURN OUT." THIS HAPPENS WHEN I STOP AT LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, WHEN I'M REVERSING OUT OF A DRIVE WAY, AS I MAKE LEFT TURNS AND THERE'S A SPEEDING VEHICLE COMING AT ME AND THE TAHOE DECIDES TO DECELERATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD...DRIVING CONDITIONS DON'T MATTER, WHETHER ON A HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET, DOESN'T MATTER. IT HAPPENS ALL. THE. TIME. I'M AFRAID IT WILL JUST STALL WHILE I'M MAKING A TURN AND I'LL BE T-BONED BY AN 18 WHEELER! I'M AFRAID TO GO ANYWHERE WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE!

We purchased a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe from a dealership in Wisconsin in 2022. In 2023, the vehicle’s transmission failed completely at only 128,000 miles. After researching the issue, I discovered that the 6L80E transmission installed in this model year has a long history of mechanical failures, particularly involving the torque converter and internal clutch packs. Numerous consumer complaints report identical failures, and GM has issued multiple service bulletins acknowledging related issues but has not initiated a recall. The repair shop diagnosed the problem as a failed torque converter and damaged internal clutch packs. There were no warning signs, one day the transmission functioned normally, and the next day it failed completely. This failure caused significant financial hardship. I paid over $5,000 for a full transmission rebuild using my credit card, resulting in ongoing interest charges and credit impact. I had to perform balance transfers to manage the debt and ease the financial burden. Given the widespread nature of this issue and GM’s acknowledgment of mechanical defects in the 6L80E transmission, I am requesting that GM reimburse repair costs and that regulators investigate the 6L80E’s reliability and safety to determine whether a recall or class action remedy is warranted.

2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD DRIVE BUT IN A JERKING MOTION. WE HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AS A ENGINE CONTROL MODULE DTC P2135, THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER DISPLAYED AND THE TRACTION OFF ALSO DISPLAYED. THE MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO CLEAN OUT THE THROTTLE BODY TO REMOVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I THEN CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET/GM SERVICE CENTER IN EAST HARTFORD, CT AND THEY SAID THAT THE ITEM IS COVERED UNDER A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT #11273 FOR A PERIOD OF 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES BUT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO UNTIL THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. HE INFORMED ME THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN, THOUGH. I THEN CALLED CORPORATE GM AND THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO EXCEPT WAIT FOR THE ISSUE TO ARISE. THE MANAGER TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE SPEED WOULD REDUCE TO 50MPH BUT IT ISN'T A SAFETY CONCERN. IF THIS CAR IS TRAVELING AT 65-70MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND REDUCES SPEED TO 50MPH WITH NO BRAKE LIGHT HOW IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE??? NEEDLESS TO SAY, THEY SAID THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THEY COULD DO SO NOW I HAVE TO HAVE MY WIFE AND 2 KIDS DRIVE AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT WE KNOW HAS AN ISSUE BUT CANNOT NOT GET IT FIXED PROPERLY UNTIL IT OCCURS AGAIN. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AS A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. CASE #[XXX].

ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 2011, AS I MOVED OVER TO PASS A CAR ON THE LEFT ON A 2-LANE HIGHWAY, THE ACCELERATOR IN MY 2010 CHEVROLET TAHOE BEGAN ACCELERATING AT A VERY FAST RATE ON ITS OWN AND "STUCK" . I HIT THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES, BUT IT DID NOT "UNSTICK" AND KEPT ACCELERATING. I AM NOT CERTAIN TO WHAT EXACT SPEED THE CAR REACHED DURING THIS TIME, BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS IN EXCESS OF 80 MPH. SHIFTING THE CAR TO NEUTRAL BACKED IT OFF. AFTER PUTTING IT BACK IN DRIVE AND PUNCHING THE ACCELERATOR 3-4 TIMES WITH MY FOOT, THE CAR "UNSTUCK" AND SPEED REDUCED; NOT CERTAIN IF MY ACTION "UNSTUCK" IT BUT AT THIS POINT THE SPEED REDUCED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED AND IT WAS AN EXTREMELY UNSAFE SITUATION. VAN HORN CHEVROLET IN PLYMOUTH, WISCONSIN, CONFIRMED A DAY LATER THAT DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED A FAULT CODE AND THE SENSOR WAS FAULTY, AND THE SENSOR WAS SUBSEQUENTLY REPLACED. THE REPAIR INVOICE STATES "REPLACED ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR."

WE HAVE A 2010 TAHOE. 3 YEARS AGO WE REPLACED THE BATTERY. AFTER THAT THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN HAVING THE FOLLOWING ISSUES. 1. EVERY 3-4 MONTHS THE CAR DIES WHILE DRIVING. DOOR LOCKS, LIGHTS, RADIO, ETC TURN ON AND OFF RAPIDLY WHILE DRIVING. LOSS OF POWER, STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKES BECOMES STIFFI. IT HAS DONE IT AT LEAST 3 TIMES WHILE DRIVING 70 MILES PER HOUR ON THE INTERSTATE. I AM SHOCKED THAT WE DIDN'T CRASHED. OTHER TIMES WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING 15-40 MPH. 2. BATTERY DIES WHEN CAR IS PARKED. 3. KEY REMOTE SOMETIMES WORK AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. WE BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE LOCATION WHERE THE NEW BATTERY WAS INSTALLED AND THEY INSTALLED A NEW ONE. ISSUES CONTINUE SO WE STARTED TO DO RESEARCH. WE FOUND OUT THAT SOME CHEVROLET VEHICLES HAVE ISSUES OF COMPATIBILITY WITH THE NEGATIVE CABLE OF AFTER-MARKET BATTERIES SO WE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP IN ELDERSBURG MD. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND COULD NOT RECREATE THE ISSUE EVEN THOUGH WE TOLD THEM WHAT WE HAD FOUND IN OUR RESEARCH. WE PAID SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR LABOR AND WHATEVER THEY SAID THEY DID.... WE ARE STILL HAVING THE ISSUES. TODAY IT DID IT AGAIN. MY HUSBAND SAID TO PULL OVER, TURN THE CAR OFF AND WIGGLE THE NEGATIVE CABLE. I GO TO WORK JUST TO FIND THE CAR DEAD AFTER 2 HOURS LATER. WE READ SOMEWHERE THAT THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT DOCUMENTED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. IF YOU KNOW IF ANYONE AT CHEVROLET THAT CARES OR KNOW OF SOMEONE THAT CAN ACTUALLY FIX THIS PROBLEM I WOULD APPRECIATE THE INFO. THANK YOU!

To Whom It May Concern, I have a 2010 Tahoe LTZ which has a cracked dashboard. I have called around to get this fixed and this is very expensive at the dealership for over $1500. I had checked around and found out that this is a common issue with certain types of GM vehicles and mine is on the list. I will like for this to be replaced by GM because because this is truly a safety issue because the cracks are on the driver side near the airbags.

The vehicle randomly loses or gains power while driving. All of the auto locks go up and down, while the cluster goes in and out with very high rpms and then completely loses power in the middle of the road. Or this happens and the steering gets very tough. It is very dangerous because there are times where it happens on the highway while doing up to 80mph. It also happens when sitting at line to pick up my child in pre-k. If it were to jump and the brakes weren’t hit fast enough it could really cause a horrible and possibly deadly situation. I have done everything that I can on my end with this truck. I recently replaced the battery and replaced the master fuse since reading it was the cause. That lasted for a week. I have read hundreds of owners with the same problems that have went to private owned mechanic shops along with gm certified mechanic shops. They have yet to find an answer to this possibly deadly malfunction. There are posts and websites all over sharing other owners with the same problems and all of their stories end the same. That gm along with any mechanic used has yet to find any results to this. I noticed that the 2015 model has a recall for this problem but doesn’t describe what is being done to fix the actual problem. It has the same engine and setup as far as I can see so I wonder why there isn’t a recall for the 2010. I have two school age children that have to be brought to and picked up from school daily. If you look up this problem online you will find endless stories and questions about the issue at hand. Most people end up spending thousands of dollars trying to fix the problem on new batteries, cables, starters, etc. However, they all end up with the problem being unresolved with all of that unnecessary debt. This is a very serious manner and I feel that it’s only a matter of time before lives are lost over this. I thank you for the opportunity to be heard and pray that a resolution comes sooner than later.

THE FRONT DASH HAS CRACKED PRETTY SIGNIFICANTLY IN 2 PLACES. THIS OCCURRED FROM THE SUN WITH NO OTHER FACTORS COMING INTO PLAY. THE DRIVER SEAT FABRIC DOES NOT STAY ATTACHED UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SEAT. APPEARS IT IS MISSING A CLIP OR A POOR DESIGN THAT DOES NOT SECURE LOWER FABRIC SECURE TO THE SEAT. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A CLICKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE WHEEL OVER. NOT SURE IF IT'S IN THE STEERING COLUMN ITSELF OR FROM ANOTHER PIECE/FABRICATION MALFUNCTION.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN THE FALL OF 2019 AT A USED CAR DEALERS LOT IN OREGON. IN THE SUMMER OF 2019 WE STARTED EXPERIENCING RANDOM NO START PROBLEMS. THE FIRST INCIDENCE WE THOUGHT IT WAS A FAULTY STARTER EVEN THOUGH WE COULD JUMP/SHORT IT ACROSS THE TERMINAL, AND START THE VEHICLE. AFTER REPLACING THE VEHICLES STARTER WITH A REMANUFACTURED NON GM STARTER, WE STARTED HAVING MORE NO START PROBLEMS. REMEDY WAS ARCING THE STARTER POSTS ACROSS ONE ANOTHER, AND THEN VEHICLE WOULD CRANK AND START. WE HAD THE VEHICLE INSPECTED BY A GM DEALER, OUR LOCAL MECHANIC, AND THEY STATED IT HAD TO BE "DEAD" IN ORDER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THEN A WEEK LATER WE HAD THE CAR GO INTO "ANTI-THEFT MODE" WHILE DRIVING, AND THE SPEED AND TRANSMISSION SLOWED THE VEHICLE NEARLY TO A STOP ,- ALL THE LIGHTS STARTED BLINKING, DIC WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING CHECK STABILITY, CHECK BLIND SIDE, CHECK 4 WHEEL DR., ECT... FORTUNATELY I WAS NOT FAR FROM HOME AND PARKED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AND SHUT IT OFF. IMMEDIATELY I TRIED TO RE-START THE VEHICLE AND WE HAD A "NO-CRANK" ISSUE AGAIN. I CHECKED AND REPLACED ALL FUSES RELATING TO THE STATER EVEN THOUGH NOT BLOWN. WE THEN HAD IT TOWED TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WHO IS ASE CERTIFIED AND HE COMPLETELY DISMANTLED THE UNDER HOOD ELECTRONIC FUSE BLOCK, AND THE COMMUNICATION FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH AND TO NO AVAIL- FOUND NO WIRING OR FUSE PROBLEMS. HE DIAGNOSED OVER 400 CONNECTIONS, AND COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING CONTRIBUTING TO THE PROBLEMS. HE STATED AS SOON AS HE UNBOLTED THE UNDER HOOD FUSE BLOCK THE CAR STARTED, BUT HE CONTINUED THE DIAGNOSTICS AS STATED ABOVE. THERE IS A THIRD FUSE BLOCK UNDER THE DASH THAT SITS BESIDE THE COMMUNICATION BLOCK, AND HAS FUSES THAT WERE CHECKED AS WELL. DURING JULY, AUGUST, OCTOBER 2019, WE HAD NUMEROUS NO START/CRANK INSTANCES. REMEDY IS A LARGE SCREWDRIVER AND ARCING THE STARTER.

THE DASHBOARD HAS TWO LONG CRACKS, ONE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. CALLED GM AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. THIS HAPPENED WHEN THE TRUCK WASN'T EVEN A FULL TWO YEARS OLD. THE TRUCK IN KEPT IN A GARAGE AND I USE SUN VISORS DURING THE DAY TO PROTECT THE DASH FROM THE SUN. THE CRACKS CONTINUE TO GROW. THIS IS A DEFECT FROM GM AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR REPLACEMENT. I AM WORRIED IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, PIECES OF THE DASH WILL FLY INTO PEOPLES FACES IN THE TRUCK OR CAUSE A DEPLOYING AIRBAG TO MALFUNCTION. THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON IN 2012 AND THE DEALER AGAIN WOULD NOT FIX IT.

OUR MECHANIC SEES THIS REGULARLY AND BELIEVES SOMEONE NEEDS TO REVIEW THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM. I HAVE 78,000 MILES ON THIS VEHICLE BUT MY SON-IN-LAW'S GMC P/U HAS 38,000 MILES AND HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. AS I UNDERSTAND THE SEAL BREAKS AND FLUID IS DRAINING INTO THE BOOT. IS THERE ANY CONCERN AT THIS TIME WITH THE BRAKE SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILING DUE TO THE PROBLEMS WITH THESE MASTER CYLINDERS?

MINE HAS DONE THE SAME AND I HAD TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TO SEE IF IT WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY HAD TOLD ME NO BECAUSE IT DID NOT COME FROM THE FACTORY LIKE THAT. I'M THINKING WELL NO [XXX], HAVE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE/POWERTRAIN ISSUE/ENGINE ISSUE/ ETC IT'S PROBABLY NOT GOING TO COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH THE ISSUE.

WE PURCHASED A NEW 2010 CHEVY TAHOE WITH A TRAILER PACKAGE. WHEN WE PLUGGED THE TRAILER PLUG IN, WE FOUND THAT THE NO ELECTRICITY WAS TRANSMITTED TO THE TRAILER LIGHTS AND BRAKES. WHEN WE BROUGHT TO VEHICLE TO A CHEVY DEALER, THEY INFORMED US THAT THE WIRES WERE NOT CONNECTED AT THE FUSE BOX. WE BELIEVE THIS IS SAFETY PROBLEM AND A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. EVEN WORSE THE DEALER CLAIMED THAT THIS SAFETY DEFECT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY BECAUSE WE DID NOT ASK FOR THE WIRES TO BE CONNECTED TO THE FUSE BOX WHEN WE BOUGHT THE CAR. WE WERE SHOCKED AT THIS CONVOLUTED ARGUMENT. THE MANUAL INDICATED THAT WE JUST AND TO PLUG THE TRAILER WIRES INTO THE TAHOE PLUG. WE ARE CONCERNED THAT THIS MANUFACTURING DEFECT COULD LEAD TO SAFETY PROBLEM IF SOMEONE JUST PLUGGED THEIR TRAILER WIRES IN AND LATER FOUND THEMSELVES WITHOUT TRAILER LIGHTS OR BRAKES. *TR
