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).

MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ DASHBOARD FRACTURED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE PLASTIC ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND PROGRESSIVELY RATTLED UNTIL IT SEPARATED. IT THEN CRACKED IN THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUES TO RATTLE AND THE CRACK IS GETTING LONGER. THE AREA OF THE DASH BETWEEN THESE 2 CRACKS RATTLES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I AM SEVERELY CONCERNED ABOUT SHARDS OF THE DASH BECOMING DETACHED IN A COLLISION AND INJURING ME OR AN OCCUPANT OF MY CAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG WILL BE COMPROMISED AND MAY ITSELF CAUSE THE DASH TO SHATTER AND CREATE SHARP PROJECTILES IN A COLLISION. THIS OCCURRED ORGANICALLY OVER TIME AND WAS NOT CAUSED BY A SINGLE EVENT IN TIME. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER TRUCKS WITH SAME MODEL DASH AS MINE THAT ALL HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME AREAS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT GM HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CORPORATE AND BEEN SENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE LOCAL DEALERS THAT HAVE ALL STATED THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT GM IS ADDRESSING EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ALL SEEN DOZENS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN PERFECT CONDITION AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT WILL COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND HAS LOWERED THE VALUE SHOULD I CHOOSE TO SELL THE VEHICLE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT GM REFUSES TO AND FORCE THEM TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY DASH BOARDS.

Air bags, Structure, Mar 15, 2018
I JUST BOUGHT MY USED 2011 CHEVY TAHOE. AFTER I DROVE IT HOME I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD UNDER THE WINDSHIELD KEEPS JUMPING BAD DUE TO 2 CRACKS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE DEARSHIP SAYS I BOUGHT IT AS-IS AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE SALE.

THE UPPER PART OF THE DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS AROUND THE DEFROST OUTLETS AND AIRBAG COMPARTMENT

NEXEN TIRE'S SEPARATION. I PURCHASED A SET OF (4) NEXEN TIRES. TO DATE 3 OF THE 4 HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION. NEXEN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE FIRST (2) EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALMOST BRAND NEW. LAST WEEK, A 3RD TIRE WENT BAD. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TIRE, BUT KEPT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE 4TH REMAINING TIRE WILL BLOW-OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WILL NO LONGER LET MY WIFE DRIVE MY TRUCK.

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE AIRBAG FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. I ASK ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG AND SHE SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER MORE AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN MORE CAME IN. THAT IS THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME TWO YEARS AGO. I NOW HAVE A AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. SHE TOLD ME THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN.

DASHBOARD HAS 3 CRACKS. ONE NEXT TO PASSENGER AIRBAG, ONE THAT STARTS CLOSE TO WINDSHIELD AND MOVES TOWARDS THE DASH GAUGES STRAIGHT AT THE DRIVER AND THE LAST ONE IS NEXT TO THE GAUGE CRACK BUT SMALLER. IT SEEMS THIS IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM WITH GM. IT HAS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WITH IT BEING NEXT TO AIRBAG AND IN FRONT OF DRIVER AS WELL. THESE CRACKS APPEAR BECAUSE OF THE CHEAP PLASTIC AND NOTHING ELSE.

THE CHROME PLATING HAS BEEN AGGRESSIVELY SEPARATING AND PEALING FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE WHEELS AND MOST RECENTLY 1 OF MY WHEELS ROTTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND THIS PROBLEM WAS UNAVAILABLE AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING QUALITY DEFECT.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD MAKING IT A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE EVENT OF AN AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT THERE COULD BE HAZARDOUS DEBRIS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION THE DASH RATTLES AND CAN BE VERY LOUD. SECONDARILY THERE IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE PUMP CONSTANTLY STOPS ITSELF NOT ALLOWING YOU TO PUT GAS IN THE VEHICLE. WE HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS TO SEE IF THE ISSUE IS ISOLATED AND THIS IS NOT THE CASE. NO MATTER WHICH GAS STATION YOU CHOOSE THE VEHICLE WILL STOP THE PUMP AFTER A GALLON OR TWO.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS. THE SPEAKER IN THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN SERVICED ONCE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND IS THE ONLY TIME THE DASHBOARD HAS BEEN TOUCHED. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ON MY PART TO JEOPARDIZE THE INTEGRITY OF THE DASHBOARD. AN INTERNET SEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN TAHOE'S. I HAVE RECEIVED NO REASONABLE EXPLANATION FOR THE DAMAGE ALONG WITH NO REASONABLE FIX ($1,500!!!!). I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED RELIGIOUSLY AT THE DEALERSHIP AND AT NO POINT WAS I MADE AWARE THAT THIS WAS OR COULD BECOME AN ISSUE. NOW THEY TELL ME TO FILE AN INSURANCE CLAIM!?!? DATE THIS OCCURRED IS UNKNOWN AND HAS BEEN ESTIMATED TO BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION.
