2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

THE DASH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVER CRACKS IN 2 DIFFERENT PLACES. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TAHOES. IT IS FORESEEABLE THAT INJURIES WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED IN THE CASE OF A FRONT-END COLLISION SHOULD THE DASH COME COMPLETELY APART AND LEAVE SHARP EDGES EXPOSED.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL. CHEVROLET DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE IT EVEN UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF I AM EVER IN A ACCIDENT THAT BAG DEPLOYS, PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD WILL BECOME PROJECTILES. I ESCALATED WITH AND GM WITH NO REPLY.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND HEARD A RATTLE COMING FROM MY DASHBOARD. THE VENT NEAR THE WINDSHIELD WAS VISIBLY VIBRATING. I THEN NOTICED A CRACK EXTENDING FROM THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COVER TO THE VENT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS ON SOME MODELS/YEAR. THIS IS MY THIRD TAHOE IN OVER 20 YEARS AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE. THE VIBRATION IS GOING TO MAKE THE CRACK WORSE AND THE DASHBOARD WILL START TO BREAK APART. I BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT IS ALSO AT RISK.

LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE, STORED IN A GARAGE AT WORK AND AT HOME. DASHBOARD CRACKED AT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS PLASTIC PARTS FROM BROKEN DASHBOARD CAN BECOME DEADLY MISSILES DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POTENTIALLY HARM OR CAUSE DEATH TO PASSENGER (MY CHILD). SPENT NEARLY $600 FOR A DASHBOARD ASSEMBLY THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER REQUIRED REPLACING.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. I THOUGHT A ROCK HAD HIT MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I SAW SOME WHITE MATERIAL WHICH LOOKED LIKE COTTON ON THE DASH. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT THE "POP"WAS MY DASHBOARD CRACKING. MY CAR IS GARAGED ACCEPT WHEN I AM AT WORK, WHICH WHEN THERE ARE SUN PROTECTORS ON MY DASHBOARD DURING THE WARM MONTHS. MY TAHOE ONLY HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT.

CRACKED DASH - DASH HAS SEPARATED/CRACKED AT AIRBAG RELEASE LOCATION AS WELL AS AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. UNKNOWN IF THIS WILL AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN SPEEDO CLUSTER. WAS TOLD TO REPORT THIS BY DEALER.

WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TAHOE STOPPED RUNNING AND STALLED OUT. TOOK TO LOCAL SHOP TO CHECK THE CHECK ENGINE CODE - FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN DASH PANEL AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME DANGEROUS SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT.

DASH HAS CRACKED OVER THE LAST YEAR AROUND THE AIRBAG AND CONCERN IS THAT PIECES COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL IN CASE OF A DEPLOYMENT.

CONCERN OF BRITTLE PLASTIC DASH PIECES CAUSING FURTHER INJURY IN A CRASH OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH GM DASHBOARDS BETWEEN 2007-2013. THIS A A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE GARAGE KEPT AND REGULARLY DETAILED WITH UV PROTECTANT. THE DASH SHOULD NOT BE THIS BRITTLE.
