2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

WAS DRIVING VEHICLE AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT. WHILE AT LIGHT FELT ENGINE SHUT DOWN AND SHOWED "SERVICE STABILITRAK AND SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL." TURNED OFF IGNITION AND STARTED VEHICLE AGAIN BUT WITH TROUBLE. BOTH LIGHTS STAY ON AND VEHICLE WAS OPERABLE WITH REDUCED ENGINE SPEED. THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND LUCKILY IT HASN'T BEEN WHILE DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR DEATH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH, THE REAR PASSENGER GRABBED THE SEAT BELT CAUSING IT TO TWIST AROUND THE PASSENGER'S NECK. THE SEAT BELT WAS UNABLE TO RETRACT. THE SEAT BELT HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED MINOR SCRATCHES TO THE NECK THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

DASHBOARD CRACKED THROUGH TO THE AIRBAG CAVITY, ALSO ON TOP OF MAIN GAUGE DISPLAY. IT IS BEGINNING TO FORK IN TWO DIRECTIONS. *TR

THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER FROM THE AIR BAG HAD A CRACK SHOW UP ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A SMOOTH ROADWAY WHEN A LOUD POP OCCURRED AND THE CRACKED APPEARED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE DASH, DUE TO THE WARRANTY NOT COVERING THE ISSUE. I DO NOT UNDERSTANDING AFTER RESEARCHING WHY CHEVROLET HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE DUE TO SO MANY VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME DEFECT. FOR AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE THAT IT IS, I WOULD EXPECT A BETTER QUALITY OF PRODUCT. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER TAHOE. *TR

I TOOK MY TAHOE TO HERNDON CHEVROLET TO BE DETAILED. WITHIN 24 HRS AFTER THE DETAILING, THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASH TOUCHING THE AIRBAG AND TO OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE AND THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME DIFFICULT TO TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE RACK AND PINION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,595. UPDATED 10/29/14*LJ UPDATED 4/22/2015 *JS

DASH BOARD IS CRACKING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT HAS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AS WELL AS AROUND THE AREA WHERE THE AIR BAG IS KEPT. MY FEAR IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE CRACKS THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLY DEPLOY WITH NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE ACCIDENT OR TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS ON THE GM MODEL 2007 - 2014 TAHOES, YUKONS AND TRUCKS THAT THE DASHBOARDS ARE CRACKING IN THE SAME AREAS ON ALL OF THE VEHICLES AROUND THE AIR BAG. *TR

DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LOUD POP, THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL CRACKED AND THE DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG CRACKED. *JS

I OWN A 2011 TAHOE THAT HAS BEEN KEPT IN THE GARAGE AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. I HAVE 2 CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD; ONE ON THE UPPER LEFT-HAND SIDE OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE OTHER RIGHT BEHIND MY STEERING WHEEL. THIS CRACK IS ACTUALLY BRANCHING INTO TWO CRACKS NOW. I HAVE SOME SERIOUS CONCERNS REGARDING THE SAFETY OF MY VEHICLE IN THE EVENT I AM IN A COLLISION AND MY AIRBAGS NEED TO BE DEPLOYED. THIS CRACKED DASH SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE IN TAHOES FROM AT LEAST 2007 AND NEWER AND I AM CONCERNED THAT GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO RECALL THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HOW FAR BACK IT APPEARS TO BE AFFECTING VEHICLES. MY CONCERN IS THE POSSIBILITY OF LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND/OR SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC FLYING THROUGH THE AIR IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION CAUSING INJURY TO PASSENGERS OR, IN THE EVENT MY AIRBAGS DO DEPLOY, A COMPROMISE TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THEIR DEPLOYMENT DUE TO PUNCTURE. IT IS APPARENT THE DASH IS DEFECTIVE BY THE NUMBER OF SIMILAR ISSUES REPORTED BY CUSTOMERS. IT IS APPARENT THAT THE DASH IS ALREADY COMPROMISED DUE TO THESE CRACKS AND GM NEEDS TO CONSIDER THE SAFETY ISSUES POSED WITH THIS DEFECT. *TR

TRAVELING WEST ON I-10 FROM HOUSTON TO CALIFORNIA. ABOUT 15 MILES OUT OF VAN HORN TX GOING TO EL PASO THE CAR SHUT DOWN. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON THE DASHBOARD AND I COULD NOT STEER THE CAR. WE GOT OVER TO THE SHOULDER (IT WAS A STRUGGLE). THE CAR WAS DEAD. WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING. CALLED FOR HELP. ABOUT 15-20 MIN. LATER TRIED TO START THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WORKED. WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING WRONG. DROVE TO EL PASO AND FOUND OUT THAT THE SENSORS FROM THE GAS TANK TO THE ENGINE WERE NOT WORKING PROPERLY (FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR). IT SHOULD READ ABOUT 50-60 PSI AND WE WERE READING ABOUT 43 PSI. IN SHORT THE COMPUTER TOLD MY ENGINE "WE ARE OUT OF GAS." SO THAT IS WHY IT JUST SHUT DOWN, EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT EMPTY. I NOTICED THAT THERE IS ALREADY A SIMILAR RECALL ALREADY ON CHEVY CARS/TRUCKS LIKE THE TRAILBLAZER. I THINK THIS MAY BE A PROBLEM ON MORE MODELS THAN WHAT IS BEING REPORTED! *TR
