2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD. ONE NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

THE UPPER DASHBOARD ON MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE HAS NUMEROUS CRACKS AND IS LITERALLY FALLING APART. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT IT IS ALSO A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD, BECAUSE A CRACKED DASHBOARD, PARTICULARLY ONE THAT IS DAMAGED AROUND THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG, CAN YIELD FLYING PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT THAT AN ACCIDENT TRIGGERS THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. APPARENTLY THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN AND DOCUMENTED ISSUE BUT GM HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL OR OFFERED TO INVESTIGATE AT ALL ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.

DASH IS CRACKED IN TOW SEPERATE AREAS. ONE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, AND ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, IN THAT IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, FLYING DEBRIS COULD HARM MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THIS CRACKS HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OTHER THAN BEING CHEAPLY MADE AND INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NOT TOUCHED WHEN THESE CRACKS OCCURRED.

STARTED MY TAHOE TO DRIVE HOME AND I'M GOING 70 MPH DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON AND SAYS ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED PLUS IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. I WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 20 MPH IN LESS THAN 5 SECONDS AND NOW MY TAHOE IS SPUTTERING AND HAS NO POWER. THE WHOLE VEHICLE IS VIBRATING. I'VE SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND I CAN'T GET THE ERROR TO GO AWAY. SITTING AT AN IDLE MY RPMS FLUCTUATE CONSISTENTLY. UNKNOWN BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS GOING OUT ON THE ENGINE, IT WOULD BE THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF THAT WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO DROP SPEED AND SPUTTER LIKE THIS NON STOP.

MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE WAS IN MOTION ON A TOWN ROAD WHEN SEVERAL ALERTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILINK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE LOCAL DEALER USED A SCAN TOOL AND FOUND DTC # P2135 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. GM HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN #11273A THAT AUTHORIZES FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES. AFFECTED VEHICLES INCLUDE 2008 - 2011 CHEVY TAHOE'S. BUT GM SAYS MY VIN ON 2011 TAHOE IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MAJOR PART DEFECT FOR THAT SPANS MULTIPLE DECADES AND MULTIPLE GM VEHICLES THAT CAN RESULT IN THE VERY UNSAFE AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OR REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER. CLEARLY THIS PART DEFECT IS AFFECTING MORE VEHICLES THAN JUST THOSE SELECTIVELY COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN. A CALL TO GM SERVICE RESULTED AS EXPECTED AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WITH THE TPS IS MORE PERVASIVE THAN THEY HAVE CLAIMED. THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF MY REPAIR DESPITE THE FACT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. - SEVERELY CRACKED IN 3 LOCATIONS (OTHER SMALLER CRACKS). DASHBOARD UNSTABLE WHEN DRIVING, RATTLES, VIBRATES IN CRACKED LOCATIONS.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS AND IS NOT A RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE ITS ENTIRE LIFE.

DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. ONE IS ABOUT A INCH LONG AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF PASSENGER'S AIRBAG. ANOTHER RIGHT BEHIND THE STEELING WHEEL ABOUT 4 INCHES LONG. THE DASHBOARD ARE VIBRATING WITH CLICKING NOISE.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE DRIVER INSTRUMENT PANEL ALSO BIG CRACK BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG I'M AFRAID IF DEPLOYED MAY HAVE FLYING OBJECTS

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT AND IT HAS TWO CRACKS ON THE DASH. ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER ABOVE THE ODOMETER. AS I SEARCH THE WEBSITE I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GMC YUKON, CHEVROLET TAHOE, AVALANCHE AND SUBURBAN
