2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND ON THE STEERING COLUMN.

DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS. THREE AROUND THE AIRBAG BOX WHICH ARE EXTREMELY CONCERNING! I TRY TO ALWAYS HAVE MY TAHOE IN COOL PLACES TO PREVENT EXTREME TEMPERATURES AND FURTHER DAMAGE BUT STILL NOTICE THE CRACKS GROWING. I UNDERSTAND THERE HAVE BEEN MANY GM OWNERS HAVING TO DEAL WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS.THERE MUST OBVIOUSLY BE A DEFECT IN THE MATERIAL OR THE ASSEMBLY OF THIS PART. BEING BOTH A SAFETY CONCERN AND A CUSTOMER SATISFACTION ISSUE, I AM REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO OPTIONS FOR RESOLVING THIS MATTER.

APPROACHING ANY RIGHT HAND TURNS COMING DOWN IN SPEED ON A HIGHWAY EXIT THE STABILITY AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS APPEAR AND SWITCH TO OFF. FELT A JERKING FEELING WHEN I WAS STARTING TO ACCELERATE ALMOST AS IF THE ENGINE WAS STALLING IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE LIGHTS COMING ON.. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I FELT A JERKING BUT THE LIGHTS HAVE NOW COME ON A FEW TIMES USUALLY WHEN EXITING A HIGHWAY AND GO OFF ONCE THE CAR IS SHUT OFF AND COMES BACK ON.

DASHBOARD- CRUMBLING APART. TWO CRACKS, ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND A 9 INCH CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF. GARAGE PARKED WITH 26,000 MILES. VERY CHEAP MATERIAL USED IN A $65,000 DOLLAR CAR. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE IN ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED.

MY DASHBORD CRACKED AS I WAS SITTING IN IT PROGRAMMING MY BLUETOOTH TO MY PHONE. MY TAHOE IS ALWAY GARAGED KEPT AND IT ONLY HAS 26,000 MILES. IN NO WAY HAS IT BEEN EXPOSED TO EXTRAME HEAT OR SUNLIGHT. IT CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOVE THE AIRBAG. I ALSO HAVE A 2008 CHEVROLET SILVERADO THAT THE DASH IS CRACKED ON IT TOO. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I FOUND THAT THIS ISSUE IS MORE THAN JUST AN ISOLATED ISSUE, AS PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE EVERYWHERE. THIS IS A LEMON AND SHOULD BE A RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD HAD PREMATURE EXTENSIVE CRACKS THAT COULD AFFECT THE STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG COMPONENTS. THE CRACKS EXTENDED ON BOTH SIDES, BUT PRIMARILY NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE DEALER (PINKERTON CHEVROLET, 925 N ELECTRIC RD, SALEM, VA 24153, (800) 813-5960) INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND REFUSED TO ASSIST WITH THE DEALER'S REPAIR TO REPLACE THE PART. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THIS VEHICLE HAS 55,680 MILES AND THE UPPER LEFT CORNER NEXT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IS CRACKED. BECAUSE OF THIS DASH CRACK, THE AIR BAG COVER IS LIFTED. CHEVY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY. WELL, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE NOT TO MENTION THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINT OF 2007-2013 CHEVY DASHED CRACKING.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. VEHICLE WAS PARKED WHEN CRACK WAS FOUND

THE PASSENGERS SIDE FRONT DOOR HANDLE LITERALLY FELL OFF WHEN OPENING THE DOOR. WAS OUT OF WARRANTY DUE TO MILEAGE. HAD TO PAY $250 TO REPLACE. THE PASSENGER DOOR IS NOT USED DAILY, AND WAS NOT BEING PULLED HARD, WAS BEING OPENED BY A 50+ YEAR OLD WITH AVERAGE TORQUE FOR THAT AGE.

THE EXTERIOR MOLDING HAVE SEPARATED, OR STARTED TO PULL AWAY FROM THE DOORS. OUT OF WARRANTY AND PAID ALMOST $300 TO REPAIR ONE (DRIVERS DOOR) MOLDING, AND OTHERS ARE STARTING TO PULL AWAY ON OTHER DOORS.
