2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DASH HAS CRACKED AND I FEAR THAT IN AN ACCIDENT PARTS OF THE DASH TO DEFLATE AIRBAG AND OR CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY. GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.

DASH CONTINUES TO CRACK AND RATTLE. MAKES WIFE NERVOUS WHEN DRIVING, MAKES HER FEEL IT MAY COME APART.

I'M NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE FIRST CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD APPEARED BUT I NOTICED IT ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THEN ON 05/16/17, I CRANKED THE CAR, PULLED OUT OF THE PARKING SPACE AND STARTED DOWN THE PARKING GARAGE RAMP. THAT'S WHEN I HEARD A LOUD CRACKING NOISE. SO I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH. AFTER I PULLED OUT AND STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT I LOOKED AND THE DRIVER SIDE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD A LARGE V SHAPED CRACK IN IT. BECAUSE THE DASH IS BROKEN ON BOTH SIDES IT BOUNCES UP AND DOWN VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I GOT HOME I WAS TAKEN PICTURES AND NOTICED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS ON BOTH SIDES. AT LEAST 10 CRACKS. IT LOOKS AS IF THE DASHBOARD WAS HIT BY AN EARTHQUAKE. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF GM CARS. IT DEFINITELY IS A DEFECTIVE PART BUT EVEN MORE I'M CONCERNED WITH THE FACT THAT THIS COULD CAUSE THE AIR BAGS MALFUNCTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE ENTIRE DASH WOULD EXPLODE.

CRACKING DASH BOARD, PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE AIR BAG ON UPPER LEFT SIDE. NOTICED IT WAS CRACKED AFTER MAKING SEVERAL TRIPS IN VEHICLE.

DASHBOARD CRACKED OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AT AIRBAG PANEL. CAR IS ONLY 4 YEARS OLD! THOUGH PROTECTED BY WINDSHIELD DEFLECTOR ALL THE TIME DURING SUMMER WHEN PARKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP, BUT THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL. THE MECHANIC ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FUEL PUMP, ASSOCIATED WITH THE WIRING, SEAL, WIRING HARNESS, AND FUEL SYSTEM, WAS NOT GETTING POWER. THE SPARE TIRE WAS LET DOWN TO FURTHER INSPECT THE AREA AND THE MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THE PINS WERE DISCONNECTED, AND THERE WAS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF CORROSION TO THE SEALS AND WIRING NEAR THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SEAL AND SEVEN OF THE WIRES, ASSOCIATED WITH THE WIRING HARNESS, WERE PREMATURELY CORRODED. IT WAS ALSO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 09V145000 (LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

DASHBOARD CRACK NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE CRACK APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. THERE WASN'T ANY FORCE TO CAUSE THE DAMAGE. THE CRACK WAS NOTICED WHILE I WAS PARKED, I HEARD CRACKLING SOUNDS AND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED IT. I LOOKED ONLINE FOR A RECALL AND CHEVROLET HASN'T RECALLED IT, ALTHOUGH THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THEIR DEFECT.

CRACKED DASH NEAR AIRBAG. CRACKS APPEARING ALONG DASHBOARD. IF AIRBAG DEPLOYS, SHARP PLASTIC SHARDS WILL BE PROPELLED AT HIGH SPEEDS.

EXPLODING SUNROOF WHILE DRIVING IN 34 DEGREE WEATHER AT 60 MPH, NO VEHICLES AROUND ME AND I WAS NOT GOING UNDER AN OVERPASS.

CRACK RIGHT WHERE THE AIR BAG IS ON THE DASH BOARD. THE CRACK OCCURRED WHILE IT WAS IN THE GARAGE SITTING STILL.
