2011 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED IN NOVEMBER 2015. THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. IT CURRENTLY HAS NOT GOTTEN WORSE. IN THE LAST TWO DAYS A NEW LARGER CRACK SEEMS TO BE PROGRESSING ON THE HUMP OF DASH ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. AFTER RESEARCHING IT SEEMS THIS IS A CONSISTENT ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL FOR YEARS 2007-2011. MY COWORKER HAS A 2007 AND HAS SUFFERED WITH SAME PROBLEMS. ANOTHER COWORKER WHO OWNS A TOYOTA RECEIVED OFFICIAL INFORMATION TELLING HER THAT THERE ARE ISSUES RELATING TO CRACKING DASHBOARDS AND IF IT IS NEAR THE AIRBAG THE AIRBAG CAN SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY AND NOT TO LET PEOPLE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT. IF THIS IS THE SAME FOR THE TAHOE I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS WHO RIDE WITH ME. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS APART OF AIRBAG RECALL AND IS WAITING TO BE FIXED. THE CRACK WAS NOTICED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. EARLIER IN THE WEEK WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I HEARD A CRACKING SOUND BUT DID NOT SEE ANYTHING OBVIOUS AT THE TIME.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ON MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE AND I SEE THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE NEVER BEEN IN ACCIDENT ONLY HAS 39,000 MILES AND HAS 3 CRACKS SPIDERING OFF ONE ANOTHER ON DRIVER SIDE DASH BOARD

2011 TAHOE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED, BY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, POTENTIALLY CAUSING A DANGEROUS CONDITION.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY. DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO SPOTS OVER TIME. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. FIRST CRACK WAS NOTED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL OF THE VEHICLE'S GAUGES THAT ARE USED TO DETERMINE SPEED, RPMS, ETC. SECOND WAS NOTED ADJACENT TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IF THE VEHICLE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG RENDERING THE AIRBAG UNUSABLE AND ALLOWING FOR MORE BODILY HARM AND POSSIBLY FATALITY. ALSO, IF THE VEHICLE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY WITHOUT BEING PUNCTURED, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD THEN BECOME SHRAPNEL CAUSING MORE BODILY HARM AND POSSIBLY FATALITY TO ANYONE THAT IS A PASSENGER IN THE VEHICLE. I URGE THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND RESEARCH IT HEAVILY. CHEVROLET AND GM ARE AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES OF THE '07-'11 MODELS, YET REFUSE TO TAKE ANY CORRECTIVE ACTION. I OBTAINED A REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM A CERTIFIED CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP FOR $761.63.

VEHICLE HAS A CRACKED DASH NEXT TO THE PASS ANGER SIDE AIR BAG

I HAVE A CRACK IN MY DASH THAT IS NEAR THE TOP LEFT HAND CORNER OF MY AIRBAG PANEL. ALSO, THERE IS ANOTHER CRACK THAT GOES OVER THE TOP OF MY INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE CRACKS APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY KIND OF WRECK. THE CRACKS WERE POINTED OUT TO ME WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE APPX. SIX MONTHS AGO. I AM TRYING TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE AND I AM GETTING $1,000 HIT ON THE TRADE-IN AMOUNT OFFERED. THE MORE I INVESTIGATE IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL????????????????

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES DRIVER AND PASSENGER AND GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO PAY FOR IT!! THIS SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL AND THE NHTSA HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THIS COULD BE LIFE THREATENING!I

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED ON BOTH SIDES DRIVER AND PASSENGER AND GENERAL MOTORS REFUSES TO PAY FOR IT!! THIS SHOULD REQUIRE A RECALL AND THE NHTSA HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THIS COULD BE LIFE THREATENING!!!! I GUESS YOU GUYS AREN'T DOING YOUR JOBS THAT THE AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE PAYING FOR!!

NOTICED LARGE CRACKED ON DASH BOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND AROUND AIRBAG. DUE TO THE LOCATION OF CRACK AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND DASH SHOULD BE REPLACED.

THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK WHICH IS NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY MY LOCAL CHEVY DEALER. THE PROPELLANT IN SOME TYPES OF TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATORS CAN DEGRADE OVER TIME, ESPECIALLY AFTER LONG TERM EXPOSURE IN HOT AND HUMID REGIONS. IF THE PROPELLANT DEGRADES TO A CERTAIN LEVEL, THE INFLATORS MAY RUPTURE DURING DEPLOYMENT, CAUSING SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES. I HAVE A THREE YEAR OLD SON AND AM IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO HAVE ANOTHER CHILD. IF I DO GET PREGNANT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS I COULD BE KILLED ALONG WITH MY UNBORN CHILD. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND FAMILY.

CRACKING OF DASH AT AIRBAG

I BOUGHT A CHEVROLET TAHOE 20111, AND I NOTICED THAT THE DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL AREA. THE TRUCK HAS 58,000 ORIGINAL MILES. THE DEALER IS REFUSING TO REPLACE THE DEFECTED PART WITH OUT CHARGING. AFTER DOING SEVERAL RESEARCH ABOUT THESE VEHICLE THEY ARE MANY TRUCKS OWNER WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS POOR QUALITY PLASTIC. I NEED YOU HELP AND GUIDANCE TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM I PAID $35,000 FOR A TRUCK WITH A DEFECTED DASHBOARD. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DASHBOARD OF SUV HAS SMALL CRACK THAT IS GROWING AND STARTING TO SEPARATE THE DASH INTO TWO SECTIONS.

THE DASH IS CRACKING ON PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE. AND THE CRACKS KEEP GROWING. THE ADD WASHER FUEL LIGHT STAYS ON AND THERE IS FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR.

THE DASH ON MY VEHICLE HAS BROKEN 2X AND IS BROKEN AGAIN CAUSING THE DASH TO ALLOW AN OPENING WHERE ITEMS CAN FALL INTO THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT CAUSING THE BAG TO MALFUNCTION.

DASH CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES FORCING US TO REPLACE AT THE DEALER OVER SAFETY CONCERNS IF IN ACCIDENT. DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE AS OUT OF WARRANTY

I HAVE NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON THE DASHBOARD, ONE OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER ON THE RIGHT CORNER JUST IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT (CRACK EXTENDS OUT FROM THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT) ON MY DASHBOARD. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THE DASHBOARD WILL SPLINTER AND CAUSE SEVERE INJURY IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED. CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS. NO CHEMICAL OR CLEANER HAS EVER BEEN APPLIED TO THE DASH. IT LOOKS LIKE A STRESS CRACK OR MANUFACTURER DEFECT.

DASHBOARD HAS STARTED CRACKING CAUSING CONCERNS OVER DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY

MY TAHOE WAS PARKED WHEN I NOTICED 2 CRACKS ON THE LEFT HAND CORNER BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ON MY DASHBOARD. I ALSO HAVE A REALLY LARGE CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL . I AM CONCERNED THAT AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY CORRECTLY IF I WERE IN AN ACCIDENT.

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS IN MULTIPLE AREAS WHICH HAS CREATED A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE PLASTIC THAT IS CRACKED COULD FLY/HIT DRIVER/PASSENGER IN THE CASE OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

FRONT DASH HAS 2 CRACKS, ONE AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER IS ON THE DRIVER SIDE.

MY DASH IS CRACKING AND BREAKING AROUND MY AIRBAG. THIS SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE VERY DANGEROUS IN A CRASH. I'M WORRIED THAT EITHER THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY AS IT SHOULD OR IF IT DOES, THERE WILL BE SHARDS OF PLASTIC DASH FLYING AROUND IN THE CAB. NOTHING HAPPENED TO THE DASH, IT JUST STARTED CRACKING.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED WHERE THE AIRBAG PANEL IS. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

PLASTIC DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED SEVERAL LONG SHARP CRACKS WHICH HAVE BROKEN OFF FROM MAIN DASHBOARD. DISCONTINUED DRIVING VEHICLE DUE TO WORRY OF PLASTIC DISLODGING AND CAUSING HARM IN EVENT OF ACCIDENT OR BUMPY ROAD.

CRACK APPEARED YESTERDAY (06/21/16) IN THE DASH - AT THE UPPER LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT.

2011 CHEVY TAHOE DASH CRACK, 6/19/16, NO TRAUMA, PARKED IN CAR PORT, 64K MILES. ONCE RESEARCHED FOUND THIS TO BE A FREQUENT ISSUE WITH NO SOLUTION FROM GM/CHEVY. REQUESTING RECALL FOR DEFECTIVE DASH MATERIAL, RISK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT IF CONTINUES TO CRACK.

DASHBOARD HAS TWO MAJOR CRACKS AND THE CENTER OF THE DASH IS FFALLING IN BECAUSE OF IT.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG. AFRAID IT WILL EASILY DEPLOY. JUST NOTICED THIS 2" CRACK ABOUT A MONTH AGO. NO REASON TO HAVE CRACKED.

THE DASH IN MY VEHICLE CRACKED SIGNIFICANTLY LAST WEEK AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN, GM INDICATED THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL BUT AFTER READING INTO IT, THIS ISSUE SEEMS TO BE QUITE PREVALENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

CRACKED DASH ABOVE AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER.

DASH HAS CRACKED RIGHT ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (15 INCH CRACK) AND JUST ABOVE THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHCIH SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

DASH IS CRACKED IS SEVERAL AREAS

2 ISSUES--- 1ST--DASHBOARD HAS CRACKS IN IT, WHICH 1 CRACK IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. IT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD AND CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO EXPLODE CAUSING GREAT HARM TO A PERSON. THESE CRACKS ARE IN THE SAME POSITION AS MANY OTHER CONSUMERS WHO HAVE MADE COMPLAINTS. 2ND--ENGINE SHUTS DOWN WHILE DRIVING; NO STEERING OR BRAKE CONTROL. RADIO SHUTS OFF & ON, ALL DASH COMPONENTS FLICKER ON AND OFF, GAUGES TURN OFF, DOOR LOCKS ENGAGE & DISENGAGE. THIS HAPPENS FOR 3-10 SECONDS AND THEN WILL "RESET" AND FUNCTION NORMAL. I'VE LOOKED AT DIFFERENT FORUMS TO TRY TO FIND OUT WHAT COULD BE CAUSING THIS AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE.

DASHBOARD CRACKING

THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKED AND MY CONCERN IS IT WILL AFFECT THE AIRBAG IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. IT STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK AND NOW IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES. THERE WAS NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED.

THE DASHBOARD CRACKED BETWEEN THE AIR BAG AND THE DASH VENT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE SECOND CRACK, ABOVE THE DRIVER CONTROLS OCCURRED WHILE THE DEFROSTER WAS RUNNING AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 65-MPH.

TYPICAL CHEVY TAHOE DASH CRACKING ISSUE. IT WORRIES ME THAT IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT THAT SHARP PIECES OF PLASTIC MAY CAUSE MORE HARM TO SOMEONE INSIDE THE CABIN THAN IF IT WAS ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED. GM IS AT FAULT FOR USING CHEAP MATERIALS AND THE CONSUMER SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY. IT ISN'T CAUSED BY ANYTHING THAT THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE IS OR ISN'T DOING. PURELY MATERIAL AND MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. WE PAY $50K FOR THESE TRUCKS EACH THE LEAST GM COULD DO IS SPEND THE $500 IF THAT PER VEHICLE TO REPLACE IT.

A RANDOM CRACK, ABOUT 2" LONG, APPEARED IN DASH JUST ABOVE AND TO THE RIGHT OF STEERING WHEEL. FURTHER RESEARCH SHOWED THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODE DURING 2007-2011 AND GM IS AWARE BUT IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT.

DASH ON 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE HAS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEXT TO THE AIRBAG PANEL. DASH HAS ALSO CRACKED ON THE DRIVER SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER. CONCERN IS THAT IN A CAR ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY THE DASH BOARD MAY BREAK APART AND BECOME SHRAPNEL CAUSING ADDITIONAL INJURY, PERMANENT DISABILITY, OR DEATH TO THE PASSENGER.

DASH CRACKED THEN THE PIECE FELL OUT FOR NO REASON

TAKATA RECALL ON CRACKED DASHBOARD: 2011 CHEVY TAHOE, 50K WHEN CRACKS WERE NOTICED. DASHBOARD CRACKED IN THREE PLACES: ALONG SIDE THE AIRBAG ON PASSENGER SIDE AND OVER THE STEERING WHEEL OF DRIVER SIDE. MY CONCERNS IS THE ENDANGERMENT FROM FLYING SHARDS FROM THE DEFECTIVE CRACKED DASHBOARD. I AM THE FIRST AND ONLY OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE DAY ONE, WITH NORMAL DAILING COMMUTE (WORK, HOME ETC), AND WELL MAINTAIN.

STABILITY CONTROL WARNING LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING. INSTRUMENT PANEL INCLUDING ALL GAUGES STOPPED WORKING. STOPPED THE VEHICLE, WAITED AND RESTARTED IT. INSTRUMENT PANEL AND GAUGES BEGAN WORKING. FROM THEN ON INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALL GAUGES WORKED ONLY INTERMITTENTLY. AFTER A FEW WEEKS GAUGES STOPPED WORKING COMPLETELY. I WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE, SPEED, AMOUNT OF FUEL, COULD NOT TELL IF THE TURN SIGNALS WERE WORKING, BACK UP WARNING SOUND WAS NOT WORKING, CRUISE CONTROL DID NOT WORK. DEALER SAID THE ENTIRE GAUGE PANEL REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE HAS JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALONG THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND OVER THE DRIVER SIDE TACHOMETER. MY CONCERN IS WHEN AND IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY, THERE MIGHT POSSIBLY BE PROJECTILES FROM THIS DEFECTIVE CRACK. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS, THE CRACK ABOVE THE TACHOMETER KEEPS GETTING LARGER. THE DASH IS CRACKED ALL OF THE TIME WHEN STATIONARY AND MOVING. I WENT TO THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT THE CRACKED DASH WAS A DEFECT FOR SURE. HE ALSO STATED THAT THEY SEE THIS PROBLEM ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN WE CALLED GM ASSISTANCE, THEY STATED THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR IT BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THERE WERE NO RECALLS ON THE DASH. THIS IS SIMILAR TO OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET. I AM NOT SURE EXACTLY WHEN THE DASH FIRST CRACKED BECAUSE MY WIFE IS THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND IS NOT TALL ENOUGH TO SEE OVER THE DASH IN A SEATED POSITION. I DROVE HER CAR AND NOTICED IT MARCH OF 2016, BUT IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED SOONER.

THE DASH JUST RECENTLY CRACKED OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN GARAGED, I USE WINDOW COVERS, AND IT ONLY HAS 40,000. I AM 100% A GM CUSTOMER, BUT THE LACK OF QUALITY WITH RESPECT TO MATERIALS IS EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING.
