2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES (JOINT NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG & SEVERAL PLACES ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL ON DRIVER SIDE). WE'RE CONCERNED THAT A FRONT END IMPACT ACCIDENT COULD CAUSE A PIECE TO SHEAR OFF AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO EITHER THE AIRBAGS OR THE PASSANGERS THAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT. DASHBOARD HAS ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE AT OUR EXPENSE. VEHICLE HAS MOSTLY BEEN GARAGE KEPT.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS IS NO RESOLUTION AND IT EFFECTS THE RESALE VALUE AS WELL. I'M DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT IS DEEMED AS POSSIBLY UNSAFE AND GM HAS NO SOLUTION. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR PUNITIVE DAMAGES. I HAVE TRIED TO TRADE MY VEHICLE AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THEY CAN NOT RESELL MY VEHICLE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED FOR THE SECOND TIME SINCE 2011. IT WAS REPLACED BY GENERAL MOTORS AT ED MORSE SAWGRASS CHEVROLET IN SUNRISE, FL IN APRIL OF 2014 DUE TO A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH DEFECTIVE MATERIAL CAUSING THE DASHBOARDS TO CRACK OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG. NOW THE NEW DASHBOARD THAT WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE IN 2014 IS CRACKING IN THE SAME PLACE AS THE ORIGINAL DASHBOARD. I CONTACTED GENERAL MOTORS AND ED MORSE SAWGRASS CHEVROLET AND THEY HAVE ACKNOWLEDGED THE DEFECT, BUT REFUSE TO FIX THE PROBLEM STATING IT IS NOT A SAFETY HAZARD, WHICH IS NOT TRUE. WITH THE DASHBOARD CRACKING, IT IS CAUSING SHARP LOOSE PIECES OF PLASTIC THAT CAN IMPALE THE OCCUPANTS IN A SUDDEN STOP AND/OR COLLISION. THE PROBLEM IS NOT CAUSED DUE TO WEATHER EXPOSURE BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT WITH ONLY 48,000 MILES. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD AND LAWSUITS ARE PENDING THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES DUE TO THE PROBLEM. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN 4 SEPARATE PLACES. ONE CRACK IS AT THE AIR BAG, COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE ISSUES WITH AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT OR DEBRIS FROM DASH BREAKING OFF IF AIR BAG DEPLOYED.

DASH BOARD CRACK. THE DEALER REPAIRED IT SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN AND COME LOOSE FROM THE PANEL UNDER THE WINDSHEILD.

MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ IS GARAGE KEPT. THE DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING IN MARCH 2017 FROM UNKNOWN INJURY/ACCIDENT AND HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. NOW, WHILE DRIVING, THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD MAKES NOISE AND "FLAPS" REPEATEDLY. WHEN THIS BEGAN, MY CAR HAD APPROXIMATELY 79,000 MILES AND NOW MY CAR IN AUGUST 2017 HAS 85,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V868000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING); 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. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 12/13/2017 *LN *TR

GOT INTO MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ ON A SPRING AFTERNOON, STARTED THE TRUCK, PUT MY TRUCK IN DRIVE, STARTED MOVING AND HEARD A VIBRATING NOISE. LOOKED AROUND MY DASH AND NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. WHICH HAS NOW TURNED INTO 2 CRACKS ON MY DASH. HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN SO FAST? NOW I AM READING ONLINE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CERTAIN MODELS. WHY ISN'T THIS BEING HANDLED BY GM? NICE TRUCK WHEN I FIRST GOT IT BUT NOW I AM THINKING ABOUT TRADING IN FOR ANYTHING BUT THIS. I'VE HAD THE TRUCK 4 YEARS AND HAVE A CRACKED DASH AND SMELLS OF MOLD THAT MY CAR DEALER CAN'T FIND THE CAUSE OF. I AM DISAPPOINTED IN YOU GM.

DASH HAS CRACKED IN (2) PLACES THAT COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUES WITH AIR BAGS IF BAGS WERE NEEDED TO DEPLOY. VEHICLE HAS 38K MILES AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGE KEPT, SO SUNLIGHT DAMAGE AND ARMOR ALL PROTECTANT ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
