2014 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

2014 CHEVROLET TAHOE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO LIFTER AND CAM REPLACEMENT. *LD *JS

I AM WRITING TO YOU ASKING FOR ASSISTANCE IN REPLACEMENT OF MY DASHBOARD . I USE THE OCTOBER DATE AS WE HAVE NOTICED THE CRACKS OVER THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS DIRECTLY ABOVE WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THERE ARE 10000 MEMBERS ON A CRACKED DASHBOARD SITE ON FACEBOOK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY GM DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THIS. I AM CONCERNED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS AND SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THEY CAN BE IMPAILEDED WITH HARD PIECES OF PLASTIC. I LOVE MY 2014 TAHOE LTZ AND HAS PLANNED ON TRADING IT IN ON A NEW TAHOE OR SUBURBAN. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WILL IMPACT MY RESALE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE AND IM OF THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GENERAL MOTORS WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THIS AND FIX IT. I AM WORKING WITH MY DEALER BUT HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I CANNOT REALLY DETERMINE WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IN MOTION ETC. I JUST BELIEVE THAT THE CRACKING HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME. I USE A SUN VISOR FOR THE MOST PART AND LIVE IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA SO IT WE DO NOT HAVE EXTREME HEAT FOR THE MOST PART.

WHILE PARKED, THE DRIVER'S FEMALE SEAT BELT BUCKLE END (PART #19121538) FREQUENTLY DOES NOT LATCH. IT USUALLY TAKES MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO LATCH. I VISITED A DEALER ON 11/5/20, TO SEE WHAT THEY WOULD DO. THEY CONTACTED GM, WHO REFUSED TO MAKE ANY REMEDY, STATING IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THIS IS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY ISSUE. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE SIGNS OF DAMAGE TO THE BUCKLE END. IT IS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE TO LATCH. ALSO. THE PARKING BRAKE FAILS TO PROPERLY SECURE THE VEHICLE, EVEN WHEN PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. PROBABLY A POOR DESIGN, EVEN WHEN ADJUSTED PROPERLY.

THE DASHBOARD IN MY VEHICLE LIKE MANY OTHER PEOPLES DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED COMPLETELY. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH ALL 2014 CHEVY TAHOE'S. I BELIEVE GM SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM FOR ME AND ALL THE OTHERS AFFECTED. THIS WILL COST ME A SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO BE FIXED AND NOTHING WAS DONE OTHER THAN ME DRIVING AND PARKING MY CAR. I READ THIS COULD AFFECT MY AIRBAGS AS WELL.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT AREAS. I SEE THAT MANY DASHBOARD BETWEEN 2013 AND 2017 CHEVY TAHOES HAVE CRACK. ONE OF THE CRACKS LEADS INTO THE COMPARTMENT THAT HOLDS THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THESE CRACKS ARE NOT FROM NEGLECT AND THESE CRABS ARE NOT FROM HEAT BECAUSE I USE SUN VISORS DAILY DUE TO THE FACT THAT I'M BLACK ON BLACK AND IT KEEPS THE CAR MUCH COOLER. I HAVE ATTACHED PICTURES AND I FEEL THAT GENERAL MOTORS SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THIS. THIS IS A $70,000 VEHICLE WHEN NEW. I CANNOT SAY EXACTLY WHEN I NOTICED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME BECAUSE IT IS FLAT ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAPPENED FIRST FIRST NOTICED PROBABLY JANUARY 2020 BUT MAY HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE THAT ???

YESTERDAY WHILE DRIVING HOME, MY DASHBOARD EXPLODED OPEN. I GUESS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS WHICH SHOULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO THE MANUFACTURER. AFTER SAFELY PULLING OVER I WAS ABLE TO SEE THAT I NOW HAVE A LARGE CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD. PARTS SHOT OUT OF THE DASH AND COULD HAVE HIT ME WHILE DRIVING. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!

MY 2014 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS A 2 INCH CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TTHAT STARTS AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE RECTANGULAR "CUT OUT" TO THE EDGE OF THAT PIECE OF THE DASHBOARD. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE AIR BAG IF THE CAR IS IMPACTED AND DO NOT TRUST GM'S ANALYSIS OF THIS QUESTION. FROM WHAT I AM READING ON THE INTERNET, THIS PROBLEM IS HAPPENING ALL TOO OFTEN AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED BY GM. THIS PROBLEM COULD ABSOLUTELY BE A SERIOUS, LIFE THREATENING ISSUE IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT.

MY 2014 TAHOE DASH IS CRACKED BETWEEN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND THE WINDSHIELD VENT. I IS JUST HARD PLASTIC. I HAVE A SUNROOF AND KEEP IT OPEN DURING THE HOT MONTHS AND THE WINDOWS ARE CRACKED TO ALLOW THE HOT AIR TO ESCAPE. I ALSO KEEP HUGE SUN SHADES IN THE WINDSHIELD. I TRIED TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. ALL SHE COULD DO WAS TRY TO MEND THE CRACK BUT DIDN'T HAVE ANY LUCK IN FILLING THE GAP. SHE SAID SHE SEES A LOT OF THESE AND BELIEVES IT IS DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW. I BELIEVE IT TOO. MY DASH STILL MOVE UP AND DOWN WHEN DRIVING. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT GM'S EXPENSE. I HAVE ASKED MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP HOW MUCH FOR THEM TO INSTALL A NEW ONE. IT WOULD BE $ 1,500.00. I NEED SOMEONE WHO KNOWS WHAT TO DO BECAUSE IT INVOLVES THE AIRBAG. I AM A DEVOTED CHEVY OWNER AND HAVE SPENT WAY TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE CHEAP PLASTIC AS A DASHBOARD.

THIS VEHICLE ENDURED AND ACCIDENT IN 2017. STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY AND OTHER INSURANCE COMPANIES HAS RATED THIS VEHICLE AS HIGH RISK. THE SELLER, LAFONTAINE AUTOMOTIVE GROUP DIDN'T DISCLOSE THIS INFORMATION AND IT WAS MISSING ON THE CARFAX. THIS IS A MAJOR CONCERN. SWAY BARS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK WAS REPLACED WITHIN A WEEK OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE REPAIRS; IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT THEY RUN THOROUGH TEST PRIOR TO SELLING SAFE VEHICLES. THIS TYPE OF REPAIRED SERVICE WAS LIFE THREATENING. VIN# [XXX]. SALE DATE: OCTOBER 7, 2019. LAFONTAINE DEXTER 7120 DEXTER-ANN ARBOR RD. DEXTER, MICHIGAN 48130. THE VEHICLE WAS MAKING A KNOCKING SOUND BENEATH THE HOOD WHEN I TURNED CORNERS TO MY RIGHT AND LEFT. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR OVER FIVE DAYS FOR REPAIRS. I DON'T HAVE UNDER BODY PICTURES FOR THE VEHICLE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC*TR

WAS GETTING 20 TO 22 MPG ON THE HIGHWAY THEN IT SUDDENLY DROPPED TO WHERE I WOULD ONLY BE GETTING 15 TO 16 MPG. I HAVE ALSO GONE OUT AND GOTTEN GAS THE NIGHT BEFORE AND AFTER RESETING THE AVERAGE MPG I WOULD BE BACK UP TO GETTING 19 TO 20 ON CITY STREETS AND GO OUT THE FOLLOWING MORNING AND ON THE FIRST START UP AND IT WOULD DROP BACK DOWN TO 12 TO 13 ON WHILE STATIONARY AND STAY THAT WAY FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK EVEN AFTER GOING BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AT TIMES. I HAVE HAD THE EFI CLEANED AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES SINCE OWNING THE VEHICLE. SO I'M STARTING TO WONDER IF A PART OF THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT COULD POSSIBLY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY.
