2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DEALERSHIPS DON'T HAVE THE AIRBAGS FOR REPLACEMENT DUE TO THE COMPANY TAKATA DOES NOT HAVE A RESOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL. NHTSA EXPIRATION DATE ON GM'S FILING OF INCONSEQUENTIALITY HAS PASSED WITHOUT FURTHER INFORMATION BEING PROVIDED TO OWNERS. UNABLE TO GET REPLACEMENT SCHEDULED THROUGH ANY DEALERSHIP. UNABLE TO GET AMPLIFYING INFORMATION. GM SAYS IT IS SAFE, BUT THE RECALL IS STILL OUTSTANDING WITHOUT RESOLUTION.

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2011 VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE VERY HIGH HUMIDITY OF CENTRAL FLORIDA ITS ENTIRE LIFE. NHTSA AND GM SAID THERE WOULD BE A DECISION BY AUGUST 2017. I CALLED MY CHEVROLET DEALER TODAY (10/19/2017) AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO RECALL AND A REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE. I FEEL VERY VULNERABLE CONTINUING TO OPERATE THIS VEHICLE IN A VERY HOT AND HUMID ENVIRONMENT. WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A DECISION AND REMEDY?

I HAVE A LARGE CRACK GOING DOWN THE DASHBOARD OF MY TRUCK THE STEMS DIRECTLY FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED BOTH THE DEALER AS WELL AS CHEVROLET REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION. I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THERE WOULD BE SOME SORT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED, MY DASH WOULD EITHER IMPROPERLY SUPPORT THE AIRBAG AT EXPLOSION OR PIECES OF SCRAP PLASTIC WOULD FLY AROUND THE CABIN

RECENTLY, I HAVE NOTICED A RATTLE COMING FROM THE DASH AREA. I NOTICED THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASH TO THE UPPER LEFT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH AIRBAG. THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER PLACE ON THE DASH THAT HAS CRACKED AND CAUSES A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. I CANNOT PINPOINT EXACTLY WHEN THE CRACKED HAPPENED. BUT, AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND OUT THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON DEFECT IN CERTAIN GMC VEHICLES FOR YEARS 2007-2014. I PERSONALLY KNOW TWO PEOPLE THAT OWN GMC/CHEVY SUVS THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT CRACK ON THE TOP AREA OF THE DASH. I AM MAINLY CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT MY AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY, THERE COULD BE SHRAPNEL BECAUSE OF THE LOCATION AND SEVERITY OF THE CRACK. ALSO, THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THIS CRACK WOULD AT ALL INTERFERE WITH THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER (LONE STAR CHEVROLET OF HOUSTON, TEXAS) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE ENTIRE DASH IN MY 2011 CHEV TAHOE IS IN DISINTEGRATION. DURING THE LAST THREE MONTHS IT IS CRACKING INTO MANY PIECES. I UNDERSTAND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM AND IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL OWNERS UNTIL 2016. WHAT IS GM DOING ABOUT THIS FACTORY DEFECT IN MATERIALS?? THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND IS GETTING WORSE AND CRACKING ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASH. MY SON HAS SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS 2012 GMC YUKON. GM WANTED $2000.00 TO REPLACE DASH UNIT. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM IF DASH COMES APART WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

WE HAVE A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET GM TO FIX THE CRACK AND THE 1ST OPTION FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS TO REFER US TO A MAN THAT COULD FILL IT IN CAN PAINT IT TO MATCH. A 3 YEAR OLD CHILD USING SILLY PUDDY COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB AND THE CRACK WAS STILL THERE. OUR NEXT TRY WAS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND REFERRED US TO A COMPANY DOWN THE STREET TO REPAIR IT. THAT COMPANY WAS A CAR ACCESSORY STORE THAT SAID THEY DIDN'T DO THAT TYPE OF WORK. THEN I EMAILED GM BECAUSE MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL GM MODELS. SO I EMAIL GM, WHO FIRST TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER I EXPLAINED I WAS A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR SOME 30+ YEARS AND WHEN I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, WE ALSO BOUGHT A SILVERADO PICKUP AT THE SAME TIME. THEN I WAS REFERRED TO SOMEONE ELSE AND OVER A PERIOD OF 3 WEEKS, I FINALLY GO TO SPEAK WITH A PERSON WHO INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM GET AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. THEY FIGURED THE COST AT $800.00 AND TOLD US WE HAD TO PAY $500.00 AND THEY WOULD COVER $300.00. I CAN'T SEE WHY WE MUST PAY FOR A DESIGN DEFECT THAT WE COULD NOT HAVE PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO KEEP IT IN GOOD CONDITION. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR FLAWS IN THE DESIGN OF ANY CAR THAT'S BEING SOLD?

THE DASH BOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS IN IT. WHEN ASKED A DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID THIS WAS VERY COMMON FOR CHEVYS. IT'S INTERESTING THAT THIS INFORMATION IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, WHY WOULD CHEVROLET COMPROMISE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. ALSO THE SIDE TRIM IS FALLING OFF

MY FRONT DASH BOARD CRACKED. IT WAS NOT MOVING. NOTHING HAS BEEN SET ON THE DASH. I NOTICED ONE AFTERNOON, THE FRONT CRACKED.
