2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

MY 2011 TAHOE HAS YET ANOTHER CRACK IN THE DASH. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS CHANGED BECAUSE I HAVE LESS THAN 30000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. NOW I HAVE 60000 AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY AT 250 OF THE COST OF REPAIR! NO SIR! I'M DOING NOTHING TO MY VEHICLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING TO CHANGE IT YET AGAIN. THIS IS NOT FAR! I USED TO LOVE CHEVY BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE!

THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED AT SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS IT HAPPENED SOMETIME IN SEPT'2015, EVEN THOUGH THE TAHOE ALWAYS IS PARKED IN SHADE (UNDER THE PORTE COCHERE) OR IN THE GARAGE. I HAVE CALLED GMAC AND THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $800 FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, ON CHEVY DASHBOARDS.

THREE DASH BOARD CRACKS APPEARED ON THE DASH OVERNIGHT. ONE CRACK NEAR DRIVERS DASH AREA UNDER WINDSHIELD, TWO OTHERS ON PASSENGER SIDE OF DASH BY THE AIRBAG. CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR CAUSE PROPER OPERATION ISSUES. THIS TAHOE WAS PERFECTLY FINE, CAME OUT TO CAR OVERNIGHT AND NOTICED THE CRACKS.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG . IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED COULD SEND PIECES INTO PASSENGER. SEEMS IS A COMMON PROBLEM .

WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT A LUBE SHOP IN MARBLE FALLS TEXAS AND THE PERSON THAT CHANGED THE OIL TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK TUBE WAS LOOSE SO HE COULDN'T CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE LEFT THE LUBE SHOP AND WAS DRIVING DOWN 1431 IN MARBLE FALLS WHEN A GENTLEMAN STOPPED US AND TOLD US THE TAHOE WAS ON FIRE. WE POPPED THE HOOD AND INDEED THERE WERE FLAMES IN THE LOWER PART OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE CALLED THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY CAME TO OUR CALL WITHIN 10 MINUTES. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TUBES BUT MY ISSUE IS THAT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND THE WAY THE RECALL IS WRITTEN DOES NOT CONSIDER FIRE FROM THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS HAPPENED ON 10/13/2015.

WE TOOK OUR TAHOE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SECOND ROW HEADRESTS REMOVED BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUSING THE CAR SEATS FOR OUR TWINS TO NOT SET BACK AND FLUSH AGAINST THE BACK OF THE SEAT. SO NOT ONLY DOES IT CAUSE THE CAR SEAT TO SIT UP MORE VERTICAL BUT ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR SEAT CANNOT BE AS SECURELY FASTENED. THE DEALERSHIP AND LATER CUSTOMER CARE AT CORPORATE CHEVROLET SAID THAT THEY CANNOT REMOVE THOSE HEADRESTS FOR US BECAUSE OF A SAFETY CONCERN TO AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THOSE SEATS WITHOUT A HEADREST. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT AN ADULT WILL NOT BE SITTING THERE BECAUSE THE CAR SEATS ARE THERE. AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE OK WITH A SAFETY CONCERN FOR KIDS IN CAR SEATS THAT IS HAPPENING, BUT NOT FOR AN ADULT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT MAKES THE DASHBOARD FLOP, AND I'M WORRIED IT MAY AFFECT THE AIRBAGS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK, NEVER PLACE ANY ITEMS ON THE DASH, AND I USE A VISOR TO PROTECT THE DASH DURING WORK, AND THE TRUCK IS GARAGED WHEN I'M AT HOME. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL COST APPROX. $1,000 TO REPLACE! WHY WOULD I REPLACE A DEFECTIVE DASH? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!

THE DASH CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE. NO WARNING SIGNS OF IT HAPPENING AND SHARP. CAR WAS NOT RUNNING AT THE TIME IT CRACKED.MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 46,000 MILES AT THE TIME.

PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND CREATING POTENTIAL PROJECTILE PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC IN CASE OF IMPACT. CRACKING NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. CRACKS JUST SHOWED UP, THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE BEFORE THEM AND SUDDENLY THEY ARE THERE.

NOTICED MAJOR CRACK ON DASHBOARD BOTH ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THIS JUST APPPEARED CAR WAS PARKED FOR THE NIGHT WENT OUT IN THE MORNING AND NOTICED THE CRACK. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR ABUSED. THIS IS A CAR THAT HAD BEEN KEPT VERY CLEAN BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR.
