2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TAKATA RECALL ON CRACKED DASHBOARD: 2011 CHEVY TAHOE, 50K WHEN CRACKS WERE NOTICED. DASHBOARD CRACKED IN THREE PLACES: ALONG SIDE THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND OVER THE STEERING WHEEL OF DRIVER SIDE. MY CONCERNS IS THE ENDANGERMENT FROM FLYING SHARDS FROM THE DEFECTIVE CRACKED DASHBOARD. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE DAY ONE, WITH NORMAL DAILING COMMUTE (WORK, HOME ETC), AND WELL MAINTAIN.

STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING ALL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. STOPPED THE VEHICLE, WAITED AND RESTARTED IT. INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES BEGAN WORKING. FROM THEN ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALL GAUGES WORKED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER A FEW WEEKS GAUGES STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE, SPEED, AMOUNT OF FUEL, COULD NOT TELL IF THE TURN SIGNALS WERE WORKING, BACK UP WARNING SOUND WAS NOT WORKING, CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK. DEALER SAID THE ENTIRE GAUGE PANEL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALONG THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OVER THE DRIVER SIDE TACHOMETER. MY CONCERN IS WHEN AND IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY, THERE MIGHT POSSIBLY BE PROJECTILES FROM THIS DEFECTIVE CRACK. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE CRACK ABOVE THE TACHOMETER KEEPS GETTING LARGER. THE DASH IS CRACKED ALL OF THE TIME WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE CRACKED DASH WAS A DEFECT FOR SURE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN WE CALLED GM ASSISTANCE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE DASH. THIS IS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE DASH FIRST CRACKED BECAUSE MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND IS NOT TALL ENOUGH TO SEE OVER THE DASH IN A SEATED POSITION. I DROVE HER CAR AND NOTICED IT MARCH OF 2016, BUT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED SOONER.

THE DASH JUST RECENTLY CRACKED OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN GARAGED, I USE WINDOW COVERS, AND IT ONLY HAS 40,000. I AM 100% A GM CUSTOMER, BUT THE LACK OF QUALITY WITH RESPECT TO MATERIALS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.

ON MARCH 17,2015 I LEFT MY HOME DRIVING MY VEHICE WITH THE SEAT BELT ON I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND WHEN I TRIED TO FASTENED MY SEAT BELT , I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME UNBUCKLE, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT THIS SAFETY CONCERN CHECKED, THEY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH WAS STUCK IN CLOSED POSITION, THEY NEVER SAID IT WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT, THEY DID AND CHARGE ME FOR IT. I FILE A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET AND 4 DAYS LATER THEY CAME BACK SAYING THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SEAT BELT ISSUE THAT IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR, I MENTIONED TO THEM THAT MY TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD,THEY SAID THAY HAD TO GO BACK AND SEE HOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER TREATED THE TRUCK AND ALSO THAT I PURCHASE A USED VEHICLE. I DISAGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE WORD THEY SAID. I THINK CHEVROLET IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY ACCESSORIES THEY INSTALL ON EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE. I THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I DROVE WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CARS OUT THERE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

2011 CHEVY TAHOE 24K MILES DASH COVER IS CRACKED. VEHICLE IS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND THE DASH HAS CRACKED. WORRIED ABOUT FURTHER DEGRADATION ESPECIALLY AROUND AIR BAG AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

2011 TAHOE LTZ WITH 70,000 MILES , DASH STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE, FOUND THE DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AFTER INITIAL CRACK, THE DASH VIBRATES AND RATTLES MORE, CAUSING MORE CRACKING.

TOP OF DASHBOARD CRACKED - NO ACCIDENT INVOLVED. I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE AIRBAG WORKING PROPERLY NOW. DEALER WANTS $1,000 TO FIX IT.

CRACKED DASH BY PASSENGER AIR BAG, VEHICLE ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES. CONCERNED BOUT DEBRIS OR PROJECTILES AFTER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE NOT RUNNING. I OPENED THE LIFT GATE. IT OPENED FINE THEN WHEN I WENT TO PUT SOMETHING INTO THE CARGO AREA THE LIFT GATE STARTED SLOWLY CLOSING. I BACKED OUT FROM UNDER IT AND IT SUDDENLY CRASHED CLOSED NEARLY HITTING ME. THE STRUTS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. WE HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFT GATE AND PROP IT OPEN WITH A BROOMSTICK HANDLE.
