Bad engine cuts off while driving. Burn excessive oil and water. Motor makes loud noises. Brakes have to be changed every 2 months. Grinding noises when you take your feet of the gas , sounds like a 18 wheeler breaking down to stop. Now the engine won't turn over. Replaced sensors and timing but still not cranking. So now it needs a motor. Dashboard is cracked up so bad you can see inside to airbag. Which sometimes gets extremely hot.
Shortly after purchasing my vehicle the dash board cracked, today (6/27) a piece of my dashboard completely broke off while driving.

I came out of my house and got in my truck (2007 chevrolet tahoe ltz) yesterday morning (1/15/2019). After I started my truck I heard strange noises, as if something was popping/cracking. I looked around inside my truck but didn't really notice anything because I was looking in the rear, left and right out the windows. I opened the sunroof cover & didn't notice anything, until I looked down and seen two separate cracks on top of my dashboard. One long crack about 3 or 4 inches long on top of my dashboard, overtop of my gauges and another crack on the passenger side by the airbag on top of the dashboard about 1 inch and a half long. I don't know how my dashboard can just crack on its own, but I do know that it was not there days before because I had my truck detailed inside/out after being fully painted. I checked online didn't see any recalls from gm for cracked dashboards on 2007 chevrolet tahoe's but I do see a lot of random complaints were numerous people had the same issue on various of gm trucks from 2007-2014.
Dashboard major cracking by airbag and by driver side.
Takata recall on my airbags but the dealer keeps saying they will contact me to fix it because the parts haven't been approved. I don't want to be a fatality over red tape from the manufacturers. My VIN # is [xxx]. I need help. The dashboard is cracking and it s just a matter of time before the airbags deploy. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall. The dash above steering wheel has started to crack in the last year. Could this be due to the airbag?
Cracked dash above the instrument panel and around the passenger airbag. Crack occurred over night in the garage, not moving and has had no accidents, never has been off road.
I am concerned about a manufacturing defect in the dash of tahoes. I have read numerous complaints online from other chevy tahoe owners of various years with same exact issue. The dash is cracking at the airbag locations. At what point does this become a safety issue? Is it only after an injury or death occurs? There is already a recall on the taka airbag inflator but we remain on a "list" for repairs. Any safety issue should not take that long to be repaired. The cracking in the dash at the locations of the airbags should also be taken seriously!

Pass takata air bag recall with no part availability and multiple cracks in my dash
My tahoe still looks like a new vehicle and is paid for so I would like to continue to drive it but I am so concerned with the way the dash has cracked. It started about a year ago and is cracked in 4 different locations. In one spot you can lift the dash completely open. I have 6 grandchildren and do not like having to worry about structures in my vehicle potentially injuring them or anyone else that may get injured from an accident where the air bags may be deployed. You would think that the company would recall such a defect besides waiting for a lawsuit for possible injuries or death related to this issue!!!! The vehicle has been kept under a shed and doesn't get driven that often. The first cracks notice were when the car was stationary!!

Cracked dashboard even after one replacement
Two large cracks in the dashboard and now a 1' by 1.5" hole adjacent to the airbag. The dash is crumbling. This is not a result of load bearing or movement of the vehicle. It is brittle plastic.
I have two cracks, one located on the driver side dashboard and one on the passenger side above the airbag. Nothing has been done to produce such problem. I have also had to replace my heater core input valve. I have read that this has to do with the fact that the vehicle uses dex-cool. I am unsure of what to do with the fact that dex-cool has been found to eat away at hoses, o-rings, gaskets, and other parts of which dex-cool comes into contact with. I would also like to report that my oil pressure sending unit also needs to be replaced, it is no longer sending pressure readings to the dashboard. I have read that this is a very popular problem with many chevrolet vehicle.
