I was at a stop light, and the problem happened unexpectedly when i pressed on the gas when the light turned green. My car moved forward just slightly, jerked hard to a complete stop, and it wouldn't drive anymore. I was able to get pushed to the side in neutral, but needed a tow to the dealer. The only working gears were r, 3, 2, and 1. Bringing it into the dealer, they confirmed there was a problem with the…

I have a 2007 tahoe and the dashboard is cracked in two places. One is above the stearing wheel and the other is above the glove box on the passenger side. Ive always used a windshield protector when parked outside and the truck is parked in my garage every night. This seems to be a serious problem with this make and model vehicle and chevrolet needs to correct it!

I do not feel safe driving my 2007 chevrolet tahoe as the front dashboard has split open and cracked in multiple places. They appear to be stress fractures, or weaknesses in the way the dashboard is manufactured. I have looked at the internet, and there are many others with the same issue, where their dashboards develop stress fractures and split open. The dashboard has two main problem areas; on the passenger side…

All 4 of my exterior door handles have come unattached on at least one end. This started before my warranty expired but continues to happen so i have to pay out of pocket. 2 that have been previously repaired by dealer have broken again. Dealer quotes $300+ to make this repair, absolutely ridiculous and should be covered by gm. Cant believe this has not been addressed yet as i am finding so many others with this…

The rear exterior door handles had broken off. It was originally repaired by a chevrolet dealer; however it broke again within a couple of months. It has since broken about 10 times and should be subject to a recall or a class action lawsuit. This was a $55k vehicle brand new when i purchased it in 2007. This is also a safety issue as people can break in. In addition, it's not safe for children to open the door as…
