2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED FROM THE TOP DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. THE CRACK WAS RAPIDLY EXPANDING AND THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NELSON HALL CHEVROLET (1811 SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD, MERIDIAN, MS 39301, (601) 621-4324) WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL WAS FRACTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

REAR DEFROST WIRE CONSTANTLY SEPARATES FROM THE GLASS. WE HAVE BEEN TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES AND THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS. MANY OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE INCLUDED A BRAND NEW BACK WINDOW AND WIRING AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALER FOR DAYS AT A TIME ONLY TO BREAK AGAIN WITHIN DAYS/WEEKS OF REPAIR. THIS CREATES A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS (NOW) WHEN WE CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE BACK WINDOW. THIS CASE IS FULLY REGISTERED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WITH GM DIRECTLY, BUT NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. THE WIRE IS CURRENTLY DETACHED, IT FELL OFF AGAIN WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE LAST REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE IT IS MOVING.

DASHBOARD CRACKING CAN RESULT IN STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUES THAT CAN RESULT IN THE CREATION OF PROJECTILES IN THE INSTANCE OF A COLLISION, AIRBAGS BEING UNABLE TO PROPERLY DEPLOY, ETC. ALMOST ALL GM VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL YEAR RANGE HAVE THIS ISSUE; IS OF WIDESPREAD CONCERN. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AND AM WORRIED THAT IF I WERE EVER TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, MY SAFETY WOULD BE JEOPARDIZED.

CRACKING IN THE DASHBOARD THAT HAS CARRIED INTO THE AIRBAG SECTION OF THE DASH THAT PREVENTED DEPLOYMENT IN AN ACCIDENT ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES OF DASH

CRACK IN DASH ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONCERN DASH WOULD SHATTER IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE PUTTING THE PASSENGER AT RISK DURING AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THE CRACK RUNS DOWN TO THE AIRBAG IT COULD POSSIBLE SHATTER THE PLASTIC AND DAMAGE PASSENGERS. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THAT INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THIS UNSAFE DASH. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY TRAK LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING, COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALOT CHEVROLET TRUCKS SUV AND CARS. I HAD 2005 TAHOE PREVIOUSLY AND THE SAME PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING.

MY TRACTION AND STABILITRAK SYSTEM WILL HAVE RANDOM ALERTS THAT WILL GO ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. MY DASH HAS ALSO CRACKED BY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND NOW MAKES CRACKING NOISES AT TIMES AND NOW RATTLES WHEN DRIVING.

I OWN A 2013 CHEVY TAHOE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE DASH BOARD CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WITHIN A DAY THE CRACK MADE THE DASHBOARD DROP AND NOW HAS SPREAD WITHIN A WEEK TO ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN. AS THIS RELATES TO THE AIRBAG, I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT. I CAN PROVIDE PHOTOS IF APPROPRIATE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND IS SPREADING TOWARD THE STEERING COLUMN(ABOUT 8-10 INCH CRACK). THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WE FIRST NOTICED THE CRACK IN AUGUST/2017. WE WERE TOLD OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE BILL. WHEN WE FIRST NOTICED THE CRACK WAS ABOUT 4 INCHES. IT HAS NOW GROWN CLOSE TO 8-10 INCHES.
