2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, 70000 MILES WHEN NOTICED. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. THE CRACK TODAY IS ON THE DASH AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG

TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN STARTING UP AND TRANSMISSION IS COLD. THIS IS ESPECIALLY FREQUENT WHEN GOING UP A GRADE NO MATTER HOW SLIGHT. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT IT CHIRPS THE TIRES. BASICALLY THE VEHICLE STOPS UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGES. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS HESITATION IS DANGEROUS AND CAUSES AN ISSUE WITH DURABILITY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THIS ISSUE IS NORMAL OPERATION. HOWEVER, MY SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET SHOW THAT MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ISOLATED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS FRACTURED ALONG THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONTAL AIR BAG HOUSING. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH NECESSITATING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,000.

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DROP INTO REDUCED POWER MODE CAUSING A JARRING MOTION AS IT DROPS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF SPEED,ALMOST CAUSING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, TRACTION CONTROL TURNS OFF, STABILLITRACK TURNS OFF, AND ENGINE GOES INTO LIMP MODE AND STARTS SHAKING AND JARRING. THE SAME 2 CODES CONTINUE TO COME UP IN DIAGNOSIS. P2135 AND P2176. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THREE MECHANICS 1 OF THEM BEING CHEVY ITS SELF. WITH NO SOLUTION FOUND. I HAVE HAD THE ACCELERATION PEDAL REPLACED, THE WIRING REPLACED, THE IGNITION SWITCH AND RELAY REPLACED HAD THE THROTTLE BODY CONNECTOR REPLACED, THE THROTTLE BODY AND GASKET REPLACED 3 TIMES. I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING RECOMMENDED BY ALL SHOPS INCLUDING CHEVY. PLEASE HELP AS THE TRUCK HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP MORE THEN IT HAS BEEN ON THE ROAD AND I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AS THE TRUCK IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL WHEN THE ISSUE HAPPENS.

WE PURCHASED A USED 2013 TAHOE ON 5/25/2017 AND THE DASH IS CRACKED. WE HEAR THAT THIS HAPPENS A LOT, SO WE WANTED YOU TO KNOW. IT MIGHT BECOME A DRIVING HAZARD, WHEN THE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYED.

DASHBOARD CRACKED OVER PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS WAS NOT THERE YESTERDAY AND HAPPENED WHILE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE. NOTICED THIS AT 7AM ARRIVING TO WORK.

THE REAR DEFROSTER TAB HAS POPPED OFF THE REAR WINDOW, THIS RENDERS THE REAR DEFROSTER UNUSABLE, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE NOT BEING ABLE TO SEE OUT THE REAR WINDOW. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS PREVALENT IN CHEVY TAHOES AND SUBURBANS AS WELL AS GMC YUKONS. A SIMPLE SEARCH REVEALS THOUSANDS OF PAGES ON THE INTERNET COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND GM NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
