2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS, ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE INJURY IF THE AIR BAG IS INFLATED. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS. THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS FAILED.

I HAVE A 2012 TAHOE THAT HAS AN CRAKING ISSUE WITH THE DASH BOARD. ONE MONTH AGO IN AUGUST,2016 I WAS DRIVING AND OUT OF THE BLUE A 1 1/2 INCH CRACK SUDDENLY APPEARED FROM THE DASH AREA INTO SIDE PASSENGER AIR BAG AREA. TODAY IS SEPTEMBER 2016 AND I WENT OUT TO MY CAR THIS MORNING TO LEAVE AND NOTICED WHILE I WAS STARTING MY CAR THAT THERE WAS A NOW A 4 INCH CRACK JUST ABOVE THE COUNSEL AREA IN THE DASH. MY VEHICLE JUST HIT 40 THOUSAND MILES AND THIS IS JUST UNEXCEPTABLE FOR CHEVY TO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE 2007 IN MANY OF THERE VEHICLES MAINLY THE TAHOE. MY VEHICLE IS VERY WELL MAINTAINED AND STILL LOOKS AS IT DID THE DAY I BOUGHT IT AND THE CRACKS IN THE DASH ARE TO ME A HAZARD ESPECIALLY THE ONE AROUND THE AIR BAG.

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN DASHBOARD ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND WE HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OUR MODEL. WE FEEL THAT IN A COLLISION THE DASH COULD SPLINTER AND SHARP EDGES COULD CAUSE INJURIES TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THE MANUFACTURER BELIEVES THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. HOWEVER, HOW CAN THEY ACCOUNT FOR AN INFINITE NUMBER OF VARIABLES IN AN ACCIDENT? WE WERE OFFERED A DISCOUNT FOR A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP, YET THE AMOUNT WAS STILL NEAR $600. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE SHOULDN'T INCUR ANY COSTS!

DASH CRACKED FROM CORNER OF PASSENGER SIDE DEFROST VENT TO AIRBAG, AND AGAIN FROM THE DEFROST VENT TO OVER DOME OVER DRIVER CLUSTER AND ANY THING WET CAN GET INTO COMPONENTS OF THE SPEEDOMETER AND REST OF STUFF IN THERE. TRUCKS NEVER BEEN KEPT IN SUN, AND HAD ONE DEALERSHIP ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT ITS A DEFECT IN PRODUCT NOT CAUSED BY ELEMENTS OR LACK OF CARE, OR ANYTHING DONE TO IT. ITS PARKED MOST TIMES AND IT'S GETTING WORSE, IM HANDICAPPED AND VEHICLE ONLY USED WHEN IM DRIVING OR IN IT. I'M NOT HAPPY ABOUT THIS BC IT'S NOT LIKE THIS WAS A CHEAP VEHICLE AND IM ON FIXED INCOME, AND PAID CASH AND EXTENDED WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER COSMETIC. ITS ALMOST SPLITTING AT TOP NOW ON DRIVER SIDE TO GO AROUND THE FRONT OF DASH. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY AND ALTERNATER ONLY AT 50K MILES AND WARNING LIGHT NEVER CAME ON, NOTICED DIMMING OF LIGHTS WHEN APPLYING BRAKE PEDAL AND WHILE DRIVING THE VOLTAGE GAUGE KEPT GOING TO 0 AND BACK TO 14 BACK AND FORTH, GOT TO DEALER AND AGAIN TRIED SENDING ME HOME BUT FINALLY TESTED ORIGINAL ALTENATER AND IT WASN'T WORKING SO REPLACED AND COST ME $100 BUT STILL NO WARNING OR ENGINE LIGHT AND THEN DEALER HAD TO TOW MY VEHICLE AGAIN BC SYSTEM NO UPDATED FOUND PROBLEM BY ANOTHER DEALER, UNDER COATING COMING OFF AND RUST ON TOP BY RACK ON ROOF ON EACH SIDE. THIS WAS A $68K VEHICLE AND BECAUSE OF DEFECTS AND NOT A RECALL WE'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR HALF COST, DEALERS WANT OVER $500 FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A DESIGN OR PRODUCT OF POOR QUALITY, THIS IS HOW CHEVY/ GM BUYERS ARE TREATED WHEN BUYING ONE OF THE TOP LUXURY VEHICLES. WHAT COMPANY DOES THIS, I PAID CASH FOR THIS DREAM VEHICLE AND THE PRODUCT IS ALL OVER INTERNET AND LAWSUITS BC OF PRODUCT DEFECT, CHEAP PRODUCTS USED BUT SOLD AS TOP OF LINE. WOW.

THERE ARE 2 CRACKS ON THE CENTER DASH ON EITHER SIDE OF THE RADIO SPEAKER. THEY APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND ARE GETTING WORSE.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH BOARD RIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THRU SOME RESEARCH I CAME ACROSS A PENDING CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS ISSUE AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF GM CUSTOMERS. THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY 35,000 MILES ON IT.

2 CRACKS AROUND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DASH BOARD. HAPPENED WITHIN THE PAST MONTH.

I HAVE A CRACK ON THE DASH AND IT IS NEAR TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG LID. IN CASE OF A CRASH THIS IS A RISK. I AM RESIDENTE OF COSTA RICA. AND THE CAR WAS IMPORTED TO COSTA RICA. A CONTACT PHONE IN COSTA RICA IS: + (506) 8701-2196

CPSC: STOCK INTERIORS; 2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE: CONSUMER STATED THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE NOT CLEAR ON HOW TO INSTALL AUTOMOBILE CARPET. *SS THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FROM A FLEET DISTRIBUTOR, THAT CAME FROM THE FACTORY WITH ONLY RUBBER FLOOR MATS.

DASH CRACKING NEAR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ON DRIVER'S SIDE AND NEAR AIR BAG ON PASSENGER SIDE. I'VE CALLED GM AND DEALERSHIPS. THEY SAID THERE'S NO RECALL. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I DON'T WANT THE AIRBAG EXPLODING WHILE MY 1 YEAR OLD GRANDBABY IS IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME. THERE'S SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLAINED OF THE SAME ISSUES ONLINE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!
