    When traveling above 30 mph then decelerating, once the car gets to around 15-20 mph it jumps forward. It's similar to when you drive a stickshift and take your foot off the clutch and the car jumps forward as if it might stall. It doesn't happen regularly. If i decelerate very quickly, then it does not do it. If i decelerate slowly then it does not do it. It has to be somewhere in between and the car is confused…

    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…

    The dash is cracked above the drivers instrument panel and looks as if it is separating along the seam down to the passenger airbag. There is also a crack at the passenger side airbag. Very concerned about unnecessary airbag deployment. I am uncertain of the exact date so i put when i noticed it in the date line.

    The dash around the passenger air bag has cracked and continues to spread. I fear this may be a safety issue in the event of airbag deployment with pieces of the dash becoming shapnel

    Dash cracking in multiple locations. Recently pieces began falling out around passengers side airbag. This is a safety hazard. If accident occurred pieces could become projectile objects. Over 10,500 signatures on change.org and still no results to solve the issues.

    Takata recall: on 11/14/2017 i learned that i can not sell or trade my 2098 chevy tahoe due to this recall.

    Shortly after my 2008 warranty expired i noticed that the interior dashboard began cracking in various places and i called my dealership where i purchased the vehicle but they couldn't do anything.

    Dashboard cracked above instrument panel. Vehicle was in motion on a neighborhood street. Heard popping noise that startled me while driving. Upon inspection discovered new crack in dash which was not cracked prior. We do not use cleaning solutions in our tahoe due to our daughter having respiratory issues. We only wipe with cloths. This could not have been caused by cleaning solutions due to that.
