2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

DASH SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, WHICH CAUSES DISTRACTING SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. I FIND MYSELF TAKING MY EYES OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO PUT MY HAND ON THE SOURCE OF HE SQUEAKING CRACK IN THE PLASTIC.

DASH CRACK WITHOIT WARNING ABOVE GAUGE CLUSTER ON DRIVER'S SIDE. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. VEHICLE SPENDS A FEW DAYS A WEEK OUTSIDE DURING THE DAY. FIRST SIGN OF A CRACK APPEARED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE DURING A WORK DAY. HIGH TEMP FOR THE DAY WAS APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREES.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AS SHOWN ON THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. ONE CRACK IS NEAR THE HOUSING FOR THE AIRBAG, AND THE OTHER IS FORMING ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACKS RESULT IN THE DASHBOARD SHACKING ON ANY UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, SO EVENTUALLY THE SMALLER CRACK WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVY DUE TO A SAFETY HAZARD FROM THIS DEFECTIVE PART. REPLACEMENT OR REPAIRS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE $1200-$2000. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF NORMAL DRIVING.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE DASHBOARD ALSO HAS NUMEROUS OTHER CRACKS. THE CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PICTURES RELATING TO THIS ISSUE CIRCULATING ONLINE. I ALSO PURCHASED THE BEST WARRANTY GM OFFERS, INCLUDING THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, BUT THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE DASHBOARD AS I WAS TOLD.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE WHILE OPENING GLASS HATCH. SOLDERED JOINT BROKE AWAY FROM GLASS. SEEMS AS IF THE ELECTRICAL WIRE IS TOO SHORT OR UNDER TOO MUCH TENSION. BACK GLASS WILL NO LONGER DEFROST LIMITING VISIBILITY. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

CRACKING OF THE DASHBOARD IN MULTIPLE AREAS. DRIVER SIDE, CENTER SPEAKER AND IN FROM OF PASSENGER AIRBAG. *TR

CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED AT THE CENTER AND PASSENGER SIDE AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD AND APPEAR TO BE GROWING AS THE DASH COOLS AND WARMS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO NOTICING THE CRACKS. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACK, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, IS AT THE RIGHT REAR CORNER OF THE AIRBAG CONTAINMENT AREA ON THE DASH. THIS CRACK IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING AS IT LOOKS TO BE UNDER PRESSURE AND BULGING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS THE AIRBAG GOING OFF PREMATURELY WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS INCLUDING 3 CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH I BELIEVE LEADS TO A SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD THE BAG DEPLOY. IF DEPLOYED, THE SHATTERED PLASTIC WOULD BE SENT AS PROJECTILES THROUGH THE CAR RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. ALSO, IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, THE PLASTIC SHARDS COULD CUT THE AIRBAGS RENDERING THEM INEFFECTIVE. I'M ASKING FOR THIS TO BE REPORTED TO GENERAL MOTORS AS A SEVER SAFETY CONCERN AND ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS SERIOUS INJURY. THANK YOU. *TR

I TOOK MY TAHOE IN FOR REPAIRS AT AL SIERRA CHEVROLET TO GET AN 02 OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED. UPON RECEIVING MY TAHOE BACK FROM REPAIRS I NOTICED THAT MY DASH BOARD HAD CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. *TR

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES AS OF THE LAST 2 WEEKS. IN GOOGLING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS THERE WAS A LAW SUIT AGAINST GM ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART IN THE VEHICLE. HTTPS://WWW.CARPARTS.COM/BLOG/THE-LATEST-ON-THE-GM-CRACKED-DASH-ISSUE/ I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH RECTIFYING THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE DEFECTIVE PART.
