General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Avalanche, Silverado HD, Silverado LD, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra LD, Sierra HD, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the "Start" position.
If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ignition lock housing, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 12, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC).

I OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. MY DASH BEGAN TO CRACK COMPLETELY FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER. I CALLED THE DEALER TODAY, GEORGE CHEVROLET IN BELLFLOWER CA, AND I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER JOSE. OF COURSE MY TAHOE IS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA RECALL AND NO PARTS FOR IT ARE AVAILABLE YET. I DID ASK HIM ABOUT THE RECALL AND THEN I EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM WITH MY DASH. IT IS SO BADLY CRACKED NOW IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT SECURE AT ALL AS THE CRACKS HAVE MADE THE ENTIRE DASH LOOSE. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL AND I AM NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY SO NOTHING COULD BE DONE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE TAHOE AND HAVE TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2011. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE SO I HOPE SOMEONE WILL REVIEW AND CONSIDER A RECALL. THE CRACKING BEGAN AT ABOUT 22K MILES. I AM UNABLE TO SELECT THE BUTTON BELOW, BUT PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP IF THERE IS A RECALL.

STABILITRAK AND ABS LIGHT COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, THE DOOR LOCKS GO CRAZY, RADIO GOES IN AND OUT AND YOU LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. ENGINE ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO DIE OUT. THE FIRST TIME I HAD IT TAKEN IN, THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR SO I PAID $600 TO HAVE IT FIXED. 6 MONTHS LATER IT STARTED DOING THE SAME THING SO THE SAME SENSOR WAS REPLACED AGAIN. ONE MONTH LATER MY TAHOE IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AND NOW THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S A SHORT. I DON'T THINK THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON AND THEY ARE JUST TRYING DIFFERENT THINGS TO SEE IF IT WORKS, SO NOW I AM OUT OF POCKET OVER $1000 FOR THEM TO KEEP GUESSING WHAT GOING ON.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ALONG THE AIRBAG DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLORE THE CRACK IS COMPLETE ACROSS THE NARROW DASH. IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HIGHLY UNSAFE CONDITION REQUIRING PROPER REPAIR. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN GARAGE UNLESS TRAVELING THEREFORE FEEL THIS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

THE DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON DRIVER SIDE ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL, I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, OF PIECES FLYING FROM DASH IN CASE OF A FRONTAL COLLISION. GM NEEDS TO RECALL DUE TO PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AFTER 30 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE POWER ISSUES CAUSING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. EXAMPLE, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70MPH THE ISSUES WOULD HAPPEN WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES OR TURNING ON A BLINKER, THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOOKS CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD CREATE A STARTLING POP IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE SPEAKERS, THE RADIO CUT OFF AND RESTARTED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE THEN STARTED TO STUTTER LOOSING POWER. STABILITRACK AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER SAFELY PULLED OVER, CUT VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE, NO ISSUES OR POWER PROBLEMS. PROBLEM WOULD THEN RANDOMLY HAPPEN. RANDOM NO POWER ISSUES - LIKE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. TESTED BATTER - IT WAS OK. PROBLEM BECAME SPORADIC AND RANDOM. DTC SHOWED RANDOM ISSUES WITH ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (C0710 -STEERING POSITION SENSOR), PARK ASSIST MODULE (U0073, B1325 - DEVICE POWER 1 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION) AND PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (B1000- ECU MALFUNCTION) IDENTIFIED GROUNDS TO BE VERY BAD CONDITION AT BATTERY NEGATIVE TO ENGINE AND FRAME, AND DRIVER SIDE UNDER BODY GROUND AT THE FRAME.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO (USED, BUT IN GREAT CONDITION) - WITHIN A MONTH MY DASH HAD CRACKED. NOTHING THAT I DID AT ALL! MY NORMAL DRIVING EVERYDAY KEEPS ME WITH 20-30 MILES MAXIMUM, ON VERY WELL MADE ROADS (NOTHING EXTREME). I PAID TO GET IT FIXED (THE FIRST TIME) AND NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I PAID TO GET IT FIXED, THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T INSTALL THE DASH CORRECTLY AND THEN SAID THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT IT WAS MESSED UP AND DEMANDED THAT I PAY FOR IT. I REFUSED AND SAID THAT I WAS DONE WITH IT. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ABOVE MY AIRBAGS, AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 YEARS THAT MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED.

CRACKED DASH - THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKING HAPPENED INSIDE ON THE DASH. IT HAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES: (2) ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND (2) AT THE AIR BAG. WHEN DRIVING, I NOTICE THERE IS NO SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE OF DASH, IT BOUNCES AND MAKES THE CRACKS WORSE. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET TAHOE AND RESEARCHED ONLINE FOR SAME MAKE AND MODEL ABOUT RECALLS AND THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THE CRACKS IN THE DASH. THERE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, BUT AGAIN NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. CRACKING AT AIRBAG IS HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A RECALL DUE TO THE CRACKS AT THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.
