2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, AN ABNORMAL POPPING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT HE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN A MONTH WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE WAS FAULTY AND THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILALBLE.

THE TRACTION AND STABILITRAK CONTROLS ARE COMING ON AND STAYING WE HAVEN'T FOUND THE PROBLEM YET BUT I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON BOTH AT ONE POINT

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND AROUND AIR BAGS. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE STATED THE DASH IS A PROBLEM IN THE AVALANCHE, SILVERADO AND TAHOE YET THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE DASH.

DASH HAS SPLIT INTO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CONTAINER AND NOW INTO THE COWLING THAT COVERS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS HAS ALL HAPPENED SINCE 10-3-2015 WITH LESS THAN 80000 MILES ON CAR THAT IS GARAGED AND DASH PROTECTED FROM SUN WHEN OUT OF GARAGE. SPLITS OCCURRED OVERNIGHT IN BOTH CASES WHEN CAR WAS PARKED AND WEATHER WAS NOT EXTREME; GOT IN CAR IN A.M. AND DISCOVERED SPLIT #1 (IMAGE 1)AND SAME WITH SPLIT #2 (IMAGE 2) ON 11-16-16 THAT HAS NOW FORKED (IMAGE 3) IN THE PAST MONTH. I HAVE NEVER USED ARMOR ALL ON THE DASH. IT HAS NEVER SAT OUT IN INCLEMENT WEATHER.

DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE AIRBAG. CRACKED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

MY DOOR HANDLES ON THE INSIDE OF MY VEHICLE ARR CHROME. THE CHROME MATERIL HAS STARTED TO PEEL AWAY AND HAS CAUSED ME DEEP CUTS ON THE SIDES OF MY FINGERS AFTER OPENING THE DOOR.

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED BAIERL CHEVROLET IN WEXFORD, PENNSYLVANIA ABOUT THE RECALL. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEREFORE WILL NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO LOOK AT MY TAHOE. WHO IS RIGHT? THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE? OR BAIERL CHEVROLET? THIS NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED, AS I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING CHILDREN AROUND IN MY TAHOE.

THIS WEEK THE TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATED DRASTICALLY. MY TAHOE WAS IN THE GARAGE FOR 2 SOLID DAYS. I PULLED IT OUT THE NEXT TWO DAYS AND DROVE TO WORK LIKE ANY NORMAL DAY BUT THE TEMPERATURES WERE COLD IN THE MORNINGS AND WARMED UP THROUGH THE DAY. TODAY WE PULLED THE TAHOE OUT OF THE GARAGE, GOT IN TO GO TO CHURCH AND NOTICED THAT THE DASH HAD CRACKED IN THE UPPER CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT TOWARDS THE AIR VENT. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOY, THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BREAK AND BE IMPELLED THROUGH THE VEHICLE POSSIBLE HARMING MY FAMILY.

I CURRENTLY OWN A 2012 TAHOE THAT THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED OVER THE DRIVERS AREA AND CRACKED IN TWO PLACE ON THE PASSENGER AIRBAG CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE SHOULD THE AIRBAG DEPLOY IT COULD SERIOUSLY INJURE SOMEONE OR KILL THEM

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES, UNDER ITS OWN WEIGHT. RATTLES EXCESSIVELY,GM REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT HAS BEEN CRACKED SINCE 2014 AND HAS JUST STARTED TO RATTLE.
