2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO WIT ONLY 53000 MIKE MORE LESS AND WITHIN THE PAST MONTH THE DASH HAS STARTED CRACKING ONE OF THE CRACKS IS SO CLOSE ON THE EDGE TO THE AIRBAG THAT I HAVE A FEAR THE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM MIGHT FAIL OR EVEN GET CUT ON DEPLOYMENT DUE TO A ACCIDENT AND SOME CAN GET VERY HURT DUE TO FAILURE ON DESIGN OF DASHBOARD AND DEALER WON'T EVEN COVER IT UNDER WARRANTY AND NO RECALL HAS BEEN DONE CAR IS LESS THAN 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 55000 MILES FOR THIS TO BREAK AND WITH TIME IT WILL ONLY GET WORSE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR TAILGATE LOCKED ON THE CONTACT WHILE HE ATTEMPTED TO REACH INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

OUR TAHOE ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN 3 OR 4 TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. IN EACH SITUATION PUTTING ON THE BRAKES WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS FORCED TO ENTER HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC AND GET INTO A CENTER TURN LANE JUST MISSING AN ACCIDENT. I PUT THE CHEVY TAHOE IN NEUTRAL WHICH ALLOWED THE ENGINE TO RACE TO A POINT IT COULD/WOULD HAVE BLOWN. I WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE IGNITION BUT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR AND WILL TRADE IT FOR ANOTHER BRAND. EACH OF THE TIMES THIS HAPPENED IT WAS AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS & THE SPEED CONTROL WAS NOT ON. TURNING OFF THE CHEVY TAHOE ALLOWED IT TO RESTART EACH TIME SO WE COULD GET HOME. GM LIKE ALL CAR COMPANIES DIAGNOSTIC SOFTWARE IS NOT DESIGNED TO SIGNAL THE CAUSES OF THESE INTERMITTENT TYPES OF PROBLEMS THUS THEY CAN GO ON FOR YEARS BEFORE GETTING FIXED. THIS IS THE FOURTH GM VEHICLE OVER 20 YEARS & ALL HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND UNLESS MULTIPLE PEOPLE ARE KILLED GM KEEPS DOING THE SAME POOR JOB.

I NOTICED SEVERAL TAHOE OWNERS ARE ALSO COMPLAINING ABOUT CRACKED DASHBOARD FOR THEIR VEHICLE. MY IS ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND HAVE SPREAD DOWN ABOUT 12 INCHES. I ALSO AGREE THAT IT COULD BE DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED WITH CRACKED DASH THAT CAN CAUSE PLASTIC FRAGMENTS. IN ADDITION, I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF 2011 CHEVY TAHOE WHEN IT IS WAS PRICED IN UPPER $50'SK WHEN NEW. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHERS IN THE PAST WITH NO ISSUES. THE PLASTIC MATERIAL USED FOR CONSTRUCTING THE 2011 TAHOE DASHBOARD IS TOO THIN. WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS, WHAT HAVEN'T CHEVY PUT OUT A RECALL?

THE DASH ON MY TAHOE IS CRACKING. I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND IT IS QUITE COMMON, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. I BELIEVE IT WILL SEND PIECES OF THE DASH AT THE OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE. *TR

I NOTICED ABOUT A MONTH AGO THAT MY TAHOE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED ON TWO SPOTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 14V827000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE. UPDATED 5/19/15*CN

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED ON MY 2011 TAHOE ABOUT THE TIME MY 36000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

I'M NOT SURE WHY I REC'D THE RECALL NOTICE ON THE 2011 CHEVY TAHOE. I TRADED THAT CAR IN BACK IN OCTOBER 2014. PLEASE REMOVE ME FROM YOUR MAILING FOR THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU *TR

SHORTLY AFTER BUYING MY USED TAHOE A CRACK DEVELOPED NEAR THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, FORMING A "Y" SHAPE WHICH LEAVES A SMALL, SHARP PIECE OF POTENTIAL SHRAPNEL IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY. I FEAR THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE POTENTIALLY FATAL OUTCOMES DUE TO THE LIKELIHOOD OF THE BRITTLE PLASTIC BECOMING FLYING SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT AND AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THIS IS A WELL REPORTED AND WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH ALL GMT900 VEHICLES. GM NEEDS TO RECALL THESE DASHBOARDS! *TR
