2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE Complaints

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY TAHOE Z71 WITH APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF THREE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER TWO ARE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE DASH MYSELF AND PAY OUT OF POCKET.

I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN MY DASH ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER A YEAR AGO. IT HAS NOW GROWN TO SEVERAL CRACKS ABOVE BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAG. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY VEHICLE, EVEN PURCHASED THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND THE POOR QUALITY OF THE DASH COULD PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING CORRECTLY.

DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE STEERING COWLING AND NEXT TO THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL GM TRUCKS AND SUVS FROM 2007 THRU 2014. THIS MAY COMPROMISE THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING AND INJURING THE DRIVER WITH SHREDDED PIECES OF PLASTIC DASHBOARD. GM REFUSED TO PAY TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DOOR LOCKS WENT UP AND DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES, THE RADIO SCREEN TURNED OFF, AND THEN THE WHOLE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I COULDN'T TURN IT BACK ON AND HAD TO CALL TOW TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AND THERE WERE NOT MANY CARS COMING WHERE MY CAR HAD STOPPED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED ALONG THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY PROPERLY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, WHICH COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ASHEVILLE CHEVROLET (205 SMOKEY PARK HIGHWAY, ASHEVILLE, NC 28806, (828) 348-7326) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASHBOARD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I DO NOT KNOW IT THE CRACK STARTING WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I KNOW IT HAPPENED IN MAY 2018. IT IS CRACKING MORE EVERYDAY. THIS IS MY DREAM CAR AND I THINK IT'S A SHAME TO PAY THIS KIND OT MONEY FOR SUCH A EXPENSIVE CAR AND IT STARTS FALLING APART. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NOTHING BUT CHEVY BUYERS WE HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF BLAZERS AND TAHOE AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM . MY HUSBAND'S TAHOE IS A 2004 . LOOKS GREAT. ALSO ON THE 2013 TAHOE THE DOOR PULL IS BROKE AND THE DEALER SAID I HAD TO BUY THE HOLD DOOR PANEL THST WOULD BE OVER $500. I ONLY NEED THE THE PULL HANDLE NOT THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL. THIS IS NONSENSE. IS CHEVROLET GETTING CHEAP ON THEIR QUALLTY . THIS WILL MAKE BE LOOK INTO OTHER VEHICLES (FORD, TOYOTA, JEEP , ETC. ## VIN PASSED ## CHEVY TAHOE 2013 ##

DASH BOARD CRACKING, CAUSED SMALL FIBER TO GO INTO MY EYE WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH WINDOW OPEN

AFTER 50000 MILES ON VEHICLE I BEGIN TO HEAR ENGINE NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS THE VALVE LIFTERS. THIS HAPPEN AFTER A TRIP WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO HAVE IT REPAIR BUT WAS DENY REPAIR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIR WITH WARRANTY, BUT WAS ALSO DENY REPAIR.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS SIDE BELOW THE INSTRUMENT PANEL COVER. IT ALSO VIBRATES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH UP & DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING SITTING STILL OR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

DASH CRACKED FRONT PASSENGER SIDE, ABOVE AND INTO LEFT SIDE OF AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. VEHICLE HAS BEEN GARAGED OR SHADE IN WINDOW, WAS STATIONARY & UNOCCUPIED WHEN THE DASH CRACKED.
