2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

2012 TAHOE DASHBOARD CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME APPARENTLY DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL. DASHBOARD WAS REPLACED LESS THAN ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASING IT AND 2 YEARS LATER IT CRACKED AGAIN. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND CRACKS APPEARED FOR NO KNOWN REASON. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS OF GM VEHICLES AND GM HAS NOT HAD A RECALL. SINCE THE AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED IN THE DASH, THERE COULD BE A POTENTIAL HAZARD IF AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP, GM IS STILL USING THE SAME MATERIAL AND OWNERS HAVE TO PAY FOR PART OR ALL OF THE REPLACEMENT AFTER ORIGINAL 3-YEAR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY. IF IT CRACKS AGAIN AFTER ONE YEAR OF INSTALLATION, WE ARE LOOKING AT ANOTHER REPAIR BILL!

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN DASH. PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED WITH CRACKS ALREADY PRESENT. ONE CRACK GREW AND OPENED INTO A HOLE IN FRONT OF STEERING WHEEL.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. PLEASE HELP, MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN THE MIDDLE CORNER BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I PUT THE SCREEN UP IN MY WINDSHIELD WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED IN ORDER TO PROTECT IT FROM THE SUN AND THEN ONE DAY WHILE I WAS DRIVING I HEARD A POP AND THE DASH HAD A BIG CRACK ALL THE WAY THROUGH IT. *TR

DASH BOARD CRACKED IN 2 PLACES OVER THE LAST WEEK. FIRST CRACK OCCURRED OVER THE GAUGE CLUSTERS, AND THE SECOND CRACK OCCURRED OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD A CRACK THAT SPREAD TO THE AIR BAG AREA. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

OUR 2012 LTZ TAHOE ONLY HAS 64,768 MILES ON IT AND IS GARAGE KEPT. WE ALSO KEEP A SUNSCREEN IN THE WINDOW WHEN IT IS SITTING OUTSIDE. WE HAVE STARTED NOTICING CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD IN 2 DIFFERENT PLACES. WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALER AND THEY SAID WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR REPLACEMENT. AROUND $1000.00. I DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT SHOULD BE RECALLED SEEING AS THOUGH THE INTERNET IS FLOODED WITH PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO FEEL THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE IT IS AROUND THE AIRBAGS!

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES ON MY 2012 TAHOE WITH A MANUFACTURE DATE OF 9/2011. THE DASH CRACKS ARE LOCATED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AT THE LOCATION OF THE AIRBAG AND ON THE DASH ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS IS THE LARGEST CRACK AT 6 INCHES IN THE SHAPE OF A "V". THIS CRACK HAS GROWN OVER TIME. THE DEALER HAS INDICATED THERE IS NO FIX OTHER THAN REPLACING THE DASH. DUE TO PROXIMITY TO THE AIRBAG I AM CONCERNED THAT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE DASH MIGHT BE DISLODGED AND BECOME A HAZARD. THE INITIAL CRACK HAPPENED AT APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES. IT HAS GROWN WORSE. THE CAR NOW HAS 90,000 MILES ON IT.

DASH CRACK.AS I WAS CLEANING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT A CRACK HAD FORMED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG

DASHBOARD CRACKING FROM PASSENGER AIR BAG DOOR TO WINDSHIELD DEFROST VENT. CONTACTED DEALER - BUTCH DAVIS CHEVROLET IN RIPLEY, MS SALESPERSON ADVISED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH NO SOLUTION. THE DEALER REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE AND ADVISED FILING A COMPLAINT WITH CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE BUT THAT TO HIS KNOWLEDGE, THIS ISSUE IS WIDE SPREAD AND NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET.

DASHBOARD BROKE INTO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG APERTURE WHILE THE CAR WAS SITTING IN MY GARAGE AND HAD LESS THAN 75,000 MILES. I WENT TO CHEVROLET SERVICE CENTER IN DALLAS, TX ON EAST I-35 CONCERNED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF ADDITIONAL INJURY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED SINCE THE DASH IS ALREADY BROKEN AND PROBABLY WILL FURTHER DISINTEGRATE IF A COLLISION CAUSES AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
