2000 Chevrolet Tahoe Other Problems

Your dashboard is cracking and breaking apart into sharp pieces, affecting the instrument panel, air conditioning, heater, and radio controls. The area above the steering wheel is in the worst condition, and the passenger side is also cracked. You're concerned that in an accident, these sharp pieces could injure passengers. Fixing this will likely require replacing the entire dashboard assembly.

THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE "REAR WINDOW/DOOR HINGE" OF MY TAHOE. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR 2003 MODELS WHICH USE THE IDENTICAL HINGE. MY 2000 TAHOE HAS TH ESAME FAULTY HINGE CHEVROLET/GM USED FOR THE REAR WINDOW AND IT IS BROKEN ON THE TOP RIGHT. MY REAR WINDOW IS HANGING ON ONE SIDE AND WATER COMING IN. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE WINDOW RIGHT NOW IS THE LEFT FAULTY HINGE ! I CALLED GM MANY TIMES TO MAKE POINT THAT THE FAULTY HINGE THEY USED ON REAR WINDOWS IN 2003 IS THE SAME HINGE I GOT ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS FAULTY ALSO. SERVICE CONFIRMS IT BUT CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL GM SAYS GO FIX IT. I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A HANGING REAR WINDOW BECAUSE OF FAULTY GM HINGE. GM KNOWS THE HINGES ARE FAULTY BUT ONLY AGREEING TO FIX 2003 MODELS. I HAVE BEEN EMAILING, CALLING GM AND TALKING TO MY LOCAL SERVICE ALSO, JUST TO CHANGE THE FAULTY HINGE THEY PUT ON MY VEHICLE, I NEDD TO BUY A WHOLE REAR WINDOW COSTING $1,000. OUTRAGED !
