OUR 2007 CHEVY TAHOE WAS PARKED/STATIONARY, ENGINE ON, CAR IN PARK WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE ON, AND PARKED ON A DIRT DRIVEWAY. I GOT INTO THE DRIVER SIDE AND SHUT THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WHEN THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS IN THE FRONT ROW, SECOND ROW, AND THIRD ROW ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE DEPLOYED. THE SEAT BELTS FOR THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT PASSENGER LOCKED UP AND ARE UNABLE TO UNLOCK AND ARE NOT USABLE.

I HAVE AN AIRBAG FAILURE ON MY DASHBOARD, THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. ON SATURDAY 11/21/2020 THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR KEPT SAYING DOOR WAS OPEN WHEN IT WAS ENTIRELY CLOSED. LATER ON THAT MORNING, THE PASSENGER SEAT HAD COLD AC WHILE THE REST OF THE CAR WAS THROWING HOT AIR ON IT'S OWN. BECAUSE THE CAR KEPT SAYING THE PASSENGER DOOR WAS OPEN, INSIDE LIGHTS DID NOT TURNED ON. REPLACED THE DOOR MODULE AND ISSUE NOT FIXED. BATTERY DRAINS AT LEAST TWICE A DAY. HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT STILL GOES OFF RANDOMLY WHILE DRIVING AND FIX ITSELF. THIS CAR IT'S USED ONLY TO DRIVE LESS THAN 10 MILES PER WEEK. IT IS SO ANNOYING WIHT THIS ISSUE JUST TO GET IT OUT AND BACK HOME. I REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, OIL PRESSURE SENSOR, PASANGER DOOR SENSOR, AC FILTERS ALL THIS IN LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND IT'S ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

CRACKED DASH
THE O2 SENSOR CAN LOSE FROM ITS HOUSING. I HAD NEVER DONE ANY REPAIRS TO THIS O2 SENSOR. WHICH IT IS LOCATED AT POSITION BANK 1 SENSOR 2. THE SENSOR CONNECTION CAME LOSE FROM WHERE IT IS HELD ON TO THE FRAME. IT CAUSED THE WIRING TO GET SLACK AND WRAP AROUND THE DRIVE SHAFT. THIS HAPPENED AS I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I STARTED TO HEAR A NOISE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. AS I LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE SUV I SEEN THE O2 SENSOR WAS CAUGHT ON THE SHAFT. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST A ONCE TIME INCIDENT THAT HAD OCCURRED TO ME. BUT AS I WENT TO THE SALVAGE YARD TO GET A HARNESS. THEY TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE MODEL TRUCKS.

THE AIR BAG
THE DASH DEVELOPED A CRACK AT THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THIS CRACK JUST SIMPLY "APPEARED".
DASH BOARD HAS A HUGE CRACK
MANUFACTURER RECALL NUMBER2049152 / NHTSA RECALL NUMBER16V383 THIS IS FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS ISSUE THAT NEVER BIN FIXED. ALSO CRACKED DASH COVER THAT NEVER BIN ADDRESSED AS RECALL.
MY AIRBAG ALERT LIGHT WILL NOT GO OUT VIA THE DASHBOARD. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THERE IS NHTSA RECALL (16V383) DUE TO THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS WHICH CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME. THIS CAN CAUSE THE INFLATORS TO RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES.
AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHING
DASHBOARD CRACK JUST ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG THAT CAN CAUSE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT TO BREAK OFF THE DASH AND EITHER INJURE PASSENGER OR DEFLATE AIR BAG UPON DEPLOYMENT
DASH BOARD HAS EXTREME CRACKING ... IF ACCIDENT SHOULD HAPPEN, HEAVEN FORBID, FLYING PROJECTILES FROM PLASTIC DASH BOARD COULD CAUSE BODILY INJURY

IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT MY 2007 TAHOE STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS. THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO TO PROTECT MY FAMILY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT BESIDES PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND SELL THIS ONE. THEY SHOULD HAVE THE REMEDY AVAILABLE BY NOW! IT'S ALMOST 2021!
I NEED THE RECALL WORK DONE AND IT SAYS REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR YESTERDAY. I FEEL IN DANGER.

I OWN A 07 CHEVY TAHOE LT. I RECEIVED NOTICE IN 2016 ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. IT IS NOW 2020! I HAVE BEEN TO MY CHEVY DEALER OVER AND OVER TO HAVE THIS TAKEN CARE OF. RESPONSE IS "SORRY, WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE NO ONE KNOWS WHO IS GOING TO PAY FOR IT." I AM SICK OF THIS RUN AROUND AND TIRED OF THE EXCUSES! YOU HAVE NO PROBLEM CHARGING CONSUMERS FOR VEHICLES THAT MOST TIMES COST THE SAME AS A SMALL HOME! HOWEVER, WHEN IT COMES TO HUMAN LIVES YOU ARE WILLING TO GAMBLE WITH TIME NO MATTER WHAT THE COST, EVEN IF IT MEANS LOSS OF LIFE! WE DID NOT BUILD THE CARS! FIGURE IT OUT! SO PUT ON YOUR BIG BOY PANTS AND SOLVE THE PROBLEM YOU ALL CREATED! I WANT THE BAG REPLACED SOONER THAN LATER AND I WANT ANSWERS! MAYBE WHAT WE NEED HERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT THAT INVOLVES BOTH DEALERS AND THE TAKATA AIR BAG MAKERS!
WOW. I AM SEEING ALL MY SAME ISSUES SO THOUGHT I BETTER ENTER MY INFO AS WELL. FIRST THE HORN WAS ALL OF A SUDDEN BLARING WITHOUT ANYONE BEING IN IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT 2.5 YEARS AGO AND NOW I DO NOT HAVE A HORN, AND NONE OF THE CONTROLS WORK ON THE STEERING WHEEL INCLUDING THE RADIO AND CRUISE CONTROL (I QUESTION IF THE AIR BAG IS ACTIVE ON THE DRIVER SIDE BECAUSE OF THIS). THEN, THE REAR LIFT GATE ALL OF A SUDDEN WILL NOT OPEN (MAYBE LAST WINTER). 6 MONTHS AGO, THE INDICATORS ON THE DASH ARE OUT SO I CAN'T SEE MY ODOMETER OR ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN ACCESS ON THE DASH. RECENTLY THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW JUST RANDOMLY FELL OFF THE TRACK. RECENTLY, EVERYTHING ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR DOES NOT WORK ELECTRICALLY: POWER DOOR LOCK, AND POWER WINDOW. AND I FIND THAT GM WILL NOT ADDRESS AT A MINIMUM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUES? NOT GOOD.

THE NUMBER 1 CYLINDER KEEPS FOULING OUT SPARK PLUGS. I HAVE CHANGED PLUGS, WIRES, AND THE COIL PACK. THIS FIXES THE PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. IT RUNS POORLY, LOW IDLE, THE STABILITY TRAC COMES ON AND SAYS IT IS MALFUNCTIONING AND NEEDS TO BE SERVICED
MY COMPLAINT IS THE THE NHTSA IS NOT DOING ENOUGH TO FORCE A REMIDY ON THE MY VEHICLE'S TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEM. THRU MANY YEARS OF INVESTIGATION AND LITIGATION WITH GM, IT NOW MORE THAN EVIDENT THAT GM KNOWS THEIR AIRBAGS WILL FAIL. IT ISN'T ABOUT IF BUT WHEN AND IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE THE NHTSA TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND CONSUMER. IF YOU WANT THE PUBLIC TO THINK YOU ARE SERVING IN THEIR BEST INTEREST, THAN RESOLVE THIS WHOLE TAKATA AIRBAG PROBLEM.
DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES AND CONTINUALLY GOTTEN WORSE OVER LENGTH OF TIME.

CRACKED DASHBOARD IN MULTIPLE PLACES. VEHICLE STATIONARY. ITS A KNOWN ISSUE, UNSURE WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL YET.
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
