2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASH AROUND AIRBAGS AND STEERING COLUMN IS CRACKED. NOTICED ONE ABOUT A YEAR AGO BUT IT HAS GROWN MUCH BIGGER AND NOW A BIGGER CRACK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (NOTICED TODAY). CONCERNED IF IN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THE CRACKED DASH WILL SPLINTER INTO FLYING PLASTIC SHARDS. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION OF CHEVY TAHOE. HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I'VE SEEN A LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING DOWN A GRAVEL ROAD AND IT JUST CRACKED.

CONTACTED GM UPON PURCHASE OF USED VEHICLE IN JUNE 2016 TO CONFIRM AIRBAG RECALL. GM RESPONSE WAS THAT VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BUT REPLACEMENT PARTS UNAVAILABLE AND VEHICLE SAFE TO DRIVE. CONTACTED GM AGAIN IN JANUARY 2018 TO CHECK ON REPLACEMENT PARTS; PARTS REMAIN UNAVAILABLE.

2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ - THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. INCLUDING NEAR BOTH AIRBAGS. IT NOT ONLY MAKES FOR AN EXTREMELY NOISY AND ANNOYING RIDE, IT ALSO POSES A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS AND PARTS OF THE DASH ARE THROWN IN THE DIRECTION OF PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ DASHBOARD FRACTURED COMPLETELY THROUGH THE PLASTIC ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND PROGRESSIVELY RATTLED UNTIL IT SEPARATED. IT THEN CRACKED IN THE AREA IN FRONT OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CONTINUES TO RATTLE AND THE CRACK IS GETTING LONGER. THE AREA OF THE DASH BETWEEN THESE 2 CRACKS RATTLES VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND I AM SEVERELY CONCERNED ABOUT SHARDS OF THE DASH BECOMING DETACHED IN A COLLISION AND INJURING ME OR AN OCCUPANT OF MY CAR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG WILL BE COMPROMISED AND MAY ITSELF CAUSE THE DASH TO SHATTER AND CREATE SHARP PROJECTILES IN A COLLISION. THIS OCCURRED ORGANICALLY OVER TIME AND WAS NOT CAUSED BY A SINGLE EVENT IN TIME. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF OTHER TRUCKS WITH SAME MODEL DASH AS MINE THAT ALL HAVE THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME AREAS. THIS IS AN OBVIOUS DEFECT THAT GM HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS. I HAVE CONTACTED GM CORPORATE AND BEEN SENT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. I HAVE CONTACTED MULTIPLE LOCAL DEALERS THAT HAVE ALL STATED THIS IS NOT AN ISSUE THAT GM IS ADDRESSING EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE ALL SEEN DOZENS OF VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUES. MY VEHICLE IS OTHERWISE IN PERFECT CONDITION AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS DEFECT WILL COMPROMISE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND HAS LOWERED THE VALUE SHOULD I CHOOSE TO SELL THE VEHICLE. I HOPE THAT THE NHTSA CAN ACKNOWLEDGE WHAT GM REFUSES TO AND FORCE THEM TO REPLACE THESE FAULTY DASH BOARDS.

DASH BOARD HAD DEVELOPED CRACKS IN IT. IT IS VERY LOOSE AND RATTLES. CRACKS ARE OVER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND BETWEEN THE WINDSHIELD AND THE AIR BAG.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, OUR CAR IS ON THEIR LIST BUT THEY ARE NOT RELEASING THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG AT THIS TIME, DESPITE THE DANGER IT POSES MY FAMILY

TAKATA RECALL MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS CHEVY HAS NOT PROVIDED THE DEALERS WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS

I JUST BOUGHT MY USED 2011 CHEVY TAHOE. AFTER I DROVE IT HOME I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD UNDER THE WINDSHIELD KEEPS JUMPING BAD DUE TO 2 CRACKS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE DEARSHIP SAYS I BOUGHT IT AS-IS AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE SALE.

THE UPPER PART OF THE DASH HAS SEVERAL CRACKS AROUND THE DEFROST OUTLETS AND AIRBAG COMPARTMENT
