2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON DRIVER SIDE ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AS WELL, I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AS WELL AS MY PASSENGERS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, OF PIECES FLYING FROM DASH IN CASE OF A FRONTAL COLLISION. GM NEEDS TO RECALL DUE TO PROBLEM

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AFTER 30 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE POWER ISSUES CAUSING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. EXAMPLE, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70MPH THE ISSUES WOULD HAPPEN WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES OR TURNING ON A BLINKER, THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOOKS CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD CREATE A STARTLING POP IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE SPEAKERS, THE RADIO CUT OFF AND RESTARTED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE THEN STARTED TO STUTTER LOOSING POWER. STABILITRACK AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER SAFELY PULLED OVER, CUT VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE, NO ISSUES OR POWER PROBLEMS. PROBLEM WOULD THEN RANDOMLY HAPPEN. RANDOM NO POWER ISSUES - LIKE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. TESTED BATTER - IT WAS OK. PROBLEM BECAME SPORADIC AND RANDOM. DTC SHOWED RANDOM ISSUES WITH ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (C0710 -STEERING POSITION SENSOR), PARK ASSIST MODULE (U0073, B1325 - DEVICE POWER 1 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION) AND PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (B1000- ECU MALFUNCTION) IDENTIFIED GROUNDS TO BE VERY BAD CONDITION AT BATTERY NEGATIVE TO ENGINE AND FRAME, AND DRIVER SIDE UNDER BODY GROUND AT THE FRAME.

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO (USED, BUT IN GREAT CONDITION) - WITHIN A MONTH MY DASH HAD CRACKED. NOTHING THAT I DID AT ALL! MY NORMAL DRIVING EVERYDAY KEEPS ME WITH 20-30 MILES MAXIMUM, ON VERY WELL MADE ROADS (NOTHING EXTREME). I PAID TO GET IT FIXED (THE FIRST TIME) AND NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I PAID TO GET IT FIXED, THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T INSTALL THE DASH CORRECTLY AND THEN SAID THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT IT WAS MESSED UP AND DEMANDED THAT I PAY FOR IT. I REFUSED AND SAID THAT I WAS DONE WITH IT. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ABOVE MY AIRBAGS, AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 YEARS THAT MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED.

CRACKED DASH - THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKING HAPPENED INSIDE ON THE DASH. IT HAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES: (2) ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND (2) AT THE AIR BAG. WHEN DRIVING, I NOTICE THERE IS NO SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE OF DASH, IT BOUNCES AND MAKES THE CRACKS WORSE. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET TAHOE AND RESEARCHED ONLINE FOR SAME MAKE AND MODEL ABOUT RECALLS AND THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THE CRACKS IN THE DASH. THERE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, BUT AGAIN NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. CRACKING AT AIRBAG IS HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A RECALL DUE TO THE CRACKS AT THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

THE DASH ON MY 2011 IS CRACKING. IT STARTED OUT WITH A LITTLE CRACK AND IS SPREADING ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED ON 18 MAY 2018 AND DID NOT NOTICE THE CRACK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH MANY GM MODELS.

THE DASH IS BREAKING APART IN AT LEAST 4 PLACES. MY WIFE AND I FEAR THAT IF THE AIR BAGS ARE DEPLOYED, EITHER FROM ACCIDENT OR FAULT, THE SHRAPNEL WILL KILL US. I WILL POST PICTURES IF APPROACHED...TO LARGE FOR YOUR SPECIFICATION.
