What 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
The dashboard has multiple cracks back to front across its length. It could shatter in the event of an accident.
My dashboard is severely cracked, I called GM to order a new dashboard and they don't have the parts. First this shouldn't happen, GM should own up to the issue and create a part that doesn't have the issue. Second they don't even have the existing part to fix the issue. I called a local dealership (Simi Valley Chevrolet) who wouldn't even give me the part numbers as they said it was against their policy to not give out part numbers. I don't know how a consumer is supposed to fix their vehicle with manufacturer who doesn't make a part any longer and a dealer who doesn't give the information to find another one.

I am filing a complaint in regards to the chevy tahoe 2007 ltz model I own. The vehicle has been claimed by thousands of owners to have a factory bad dashboard. The dashboard is made with a very cheap and unsafe plastic. This plastic cracks due to natural causes from heat and cold. The plastic also after some time will crack and deteriorate again due to unsafe and poor plastic material. The remedy is to purchase a new dashboard panel and pay for the professional labor to install. This product cost should be shard at a bare minimum by gm due to good faith practices. I would like to have my claim reviewed and passed on to gm for the purpose of correcting this unsafe factory plastic dashboard. The airbags can create and cause a highly unsafe deployment by exploding cheap and sharp shard of plastic into the eyes and face of the passenger/driver. Gm is claiming to not have the legal requirement to repair or pay for this unsafe dashboard that should of been a recall.
The dash board is cracked in multiple areas.
I purchased my tahoe a little over a year ago, and it already had a cracked dash, but was minor. One small crack by the passenger airbag, and one in front of the steering wheel. Since then, it has progressively gotten worse. The crack near the airbag extends from the airbag panel to the edge of the dash where it joins to the front section of the dash. The driver side crack extends from the same edge, up towards the steering wheel, almost to the edge closest to the steering wheel. I purchased the vehicle in utah. It was owned by someone who lived in the northeast, then moved to utah, and then I moved to kentucky about 6 months after purchasing the vehicle. The problem has started and continues despite the location, or the temperature. It seems to be getting worse due to not being supported from the underside.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. The contact stated that the locks on the rear doors on both the driver and passenger sides were unable to be opened. The locks could only be opened when the rear windows were lowered and a person had to reach in from outside the vehicle to manually unlock the doors. Hubert vester chevrolet (3717 raleigh rd pkwy w, wilson, nc 27896, (252) 627-8085) stated that the actuator for the locks malfunctioned and needed to be replaced in order for the locks to work properly. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact researched the failure and found that it was widespread. The failure mileage was 125,000.
