2011 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

ON MARCH 17,2015 I LEFT MY HOME DRIVING MY VEHICE WITH THE SEAT BELT ON I GOT TO MY DESTINATION AND WHEN I TRIED TO FASTENED MY SEAT BELT , I HAD TO DRIVE BACK HOME UNBUCKLE, I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT THIS SAFETY CONCERN CHECKED, THEY CAME BACK AND TOLD ME THAT THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT LATCH WAS STUCK IN CLOSED POSITION, THEY NEVER SAID IT WAS DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR, THEY SAID THEY HAD TO REPLACE IT, THEY DID AND CHARGE ME FOR IT. I FILE A CLAIM WITH CHEVROLET AND 4 DAYS LATER THEY CAME BACK SAYING THAT THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SEAT BELT ISSUE THAT IT WAS WEAR AND TEAR, I MENTIONED TO THEM THAT MY TRUCK IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD,THEY SAID THAY HAD TO GO BACK AND SEE HOW THE PREVIOUS OWNER TREATED THE TRUCK AND ALSO THAT I PURCHASE A USED VEHICLE. I DISAGREE WITH EVERY SINGLE WORD THEY SAID. I THINK CHEVROLET IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY ACCESSORIES THEY INSTALL ON EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE. I THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPENED TO ME WHILE I DROVE WITHOUT A SEAT BELT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY CARS OUT THERE HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE.

2011 CHEVY TAHOE 24K MILES DASH COVER IS CRACKED. VEHICLE IS METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED AND THE DASH HAS CRACKED. WORRIED ABOUT FURTHER DEGRADATION ESPECIALLY AROUND AIR BAG AS THIS SEEMS TO BE A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE.

CRACKED DASH BY PASSENGER AIR BAG, VEHICLE ONLY HAS 23,000 MILES. CONCERNED BOUT DEBRIS OR PROJECTILES AFTER AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE NOT RUNNING. I OPENED THE LIFT GATE. IT OPENED FINE THEN WHEN I WENT TO PUT SOMETHING INTO THE CARGO AREA THE LIFT GATE STARTED SLOWLY CLOSING. I BACKED OUT FROM UNDER IT AND IT SUDDENLY CRASHED CLOSED NEARLY HITTING ME. THE STRUTS HAVE NOT WORKED SINCE. WE HAVE TO MANUALLY OPEN THE LIFT GATE AND PROP IT OPEN WITH A BROOMSTICK HANDLE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS 3 CRACKS IN IT THAT RANDOMLY SHOWED UP, 2 AT THE TOP LEFT CORNER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIR BAG AND THE OTHER THE TOP LEFT SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL

TAHOE DASH RECALL: COPY OF LETTER SENT TO GM... CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER P.O. BOX 33136 DETROIT, MI 48323-5136 ON 7/18/2011 WE PURCHASED A 2011 TAHOE (VIN #[XXX]) REPLACING OUR PREVIOUS 2003 TAHOE, BOTH PURCHASED NEW AND BOTH AT ED MORSE CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 14401 W. SUNRISE BLVD., SUNRISE, FLORIDA 33323-3202. ALTHOUGH I HAVE HAD SOME QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP COMPLAINTS, OUR TAHOE HAS BEEN A RELIABLE VEHICLE. THE SERVICE AT ED MORSE HAS ALSO BEEN OUTSTANDING. HOWEVER, I MUST REGISTER MY DISSATISFACTION WITH TWO OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE ITEMS ON THE TAHOE THAT GENERAL MOTORS HAVE NOT CONSIDERED IT IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO CONDUCT A RECALL. MY 2011 TAHOE IS FITTED WITH THE "REGIONAL VALUE PACKAGE" WHICH INCLUDED "CHROME DOOR HANDLES" WHICH IS NOTHING BUT CHROME LOOKING PLASTIC. THESE "CHROME" DOOR HANDLES HAVE CRACKED TWO TIMES AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED ON JUNE 8TH. 2013 (INVOICE #[XXX]) AND JUNE 21ST. 2014 (INVOICE # [XXX]) UNDER THE FACTORY WARRANTY. ON OCTOBER 15TH. 2013 AT 17,198 MILES, THE DASHBOARD TO MY 2011 TAHOE CRACKED. THIS WAS COVERED UNDER MY FACTORY WARRANTY. MY TAHOE IS NOW AT ED MORSE CHEVROLET GETTING THE DASHBOARD REPLACED AGAIN DUE TO IT CRACKING IN THE SAME EXACT PLACE. UNFORTUNATELY, THIS TIME I'M BEING TOLD THAT THEY WILL BE CHARGING ME A "CO-PAYMENT" OF $200 TO REPLACE THE DASH. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT BOTH THE DOOR HANDLES AND THE DASHBOARDS ON THE TAHOE AND SIMILAR MODELS HAVE A DEFECTIVE DESIGN AND INFERIOR MATERIALS. I SHOULD NOT BE

DASHBOARD CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG AND OVER THE TOP OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS IS UNSAFE BECAUSE IN THE EVENT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYING, SHARDS OF CRACKED DASH CAN BECOME PROJECTILES. MANY COMPLAINTS ON INTERNET ABOUT SAME ISSUE, NO RESOLUTION FROM GM.

ON 1-24-16 I WENT TO GET IN MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE DASH WAS CRACKED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANELS. 1-27-16 I NOW NOTICE A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BY THE AIR BAG. I AM WORRIED IF IN AN ACCIDENT THE CRACKED DASH IS GOING TO CAUSE MORE INJURIES. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER WHO PRETTY MUCH BLEW ME OFF. I ALSO EMAILED GM AND THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT MY LOCAL DEALER NO ONE WANTS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM AND I AM SURE I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE FOR NO REASON.

I HAVE A 2011 TAHOE WHICH I PURCHASED NEW. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN PARKED IN A COVERED PARKING GARAGE DURING THE DAY AND IN MY COVERED CARPORT IN THE EVENINGS. IT HAS 58,000. MILES AND WHILE CLEANING THE TRUCK I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE APPROXIMATELY 3.5 INCHES LONG AND ANOTHER CRACK ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE, IN THE CORNER OF WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THESE CRACKS COULD JEOPARDIZE THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIRBAGS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO INCURE THE COST OF REPLACEMENT. THIS TRUCK IS STILL IN ABSOLUTE PERFECT CONDITION OTHERWISE.

HI I CURRENTLY OWN A 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LT MODEL WITH 78,547 MILE ON IT AND THE DASH IS CRARCKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND WHICH I THINK MIGHT COMPRIMISE THE AIRBAG ON DEPLOYMENT WHICH WOULD PUT MY CHILDREN AND PASSENGERS AT RISK OF A FATALITY IN THE EVENT THAT AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND GM SHOULD RECALL THIS PROBLEM ITS NOT JUST MINE BUT MOST ALL GM MODELS 07-13 ARE AFFECTED BY THIS AND WE AS THE CUSTOMERS ARE CONCERNED WITH OUR PASSENGERS SAFETY AND WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RECALLED BEFORE SOMETHING FATAL DOES OCCUR THANKS .

MY DASH HAS CRACKED AND I'M WORRIED THAT IF I'M EVER IN AN ACCIDENT THAT I MAY BE INJURED IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY AND SEND PIECES OF THE DASH AT ME. SEEMS TO BE A BIG PROBLEM WITH GM SUV'S AND TRUCKS. THERE IS EVEN A FACEBOOK PAGE WITH A COUPLE THOUSAND MEMBERS: HTTPS://WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/GROUPS/GMDASHCRACK/

I WAS WIPING DUST OFF THE DASHBOARD AND SAW A SMALL CRACK ON THE CORNER OF THE DASH THAT MEETS THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT AS WELL AS A CRACK ON THE SAME DASH PANEL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE WAS ONLY THREE YEARS OLD BUT A FEW HUNDRED MILES PAST WARRANTY. I IMMEDIATELY REPORTED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THEY HAD RECEIVED NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A REPLACEMENT. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT SEVERAL OF THOSE THAT HAD THEIR DASH REPLACED WERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. AFTER SEEING THE SAME TYPE OF COMPLAINT FROM OTHER OWNERS AND THE CRACKS ON MY DASH CONTINUING TO SPREAD, I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT. MY CONCERN IS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THESE CRACKS CAUSING THE AIR BAGS TO MALFUNCTION AND INFLATE WHILE DRIVING CAUSING INJURY. EVERY PERSON I KNOW THAT HAS THIS VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM REQUESTING THAT YOU INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE. I BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AND A REPLACEMENT WITH A DASH THAT IS MADE OF A MORE DURABLE, SAFER MATERIAL.

WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE I10 SEPT 2015, NOTICED A SMALL CRACK DEVELOPED ON DASH OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HUMP. INITIAL CRACK WAS APPROXIMATELY 3" AND HAS CONTINUED TO CRACK AND EXTEND TOWARD THE DRIVER POSITION. DASH CRACK IS NOW 7". CONCERNED THE SHARP PLASTIC DASH COULD CAUSE ADDITIONAL INJURY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE HAS 68,000 MILES.

ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN MY DASHBOARD RIGHT ABOVE THE LEFT SIDE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL COVER.

MY DASH HAS A LARGE CRACK JUST ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

DASHBOARD CRACKING OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL AND CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG.

MY DASHBOARD STARTING CRACKING ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. YOU CAN HEAR IT CRACKING AS YOU ARE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUES TO CRACK DEPENDING ON HOT AND COLD TEMPS.

REPLACED CRACKED DASHBOARD IN 2013 AND NOW THE NEW ONE IS CRACKING. VEHICLE IS PARKED IN GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME.

FRONT DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK AND INTO REVERSE INDEPENDENTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ROLL BACKWARDS AND CRASH INTO A WOODED LOT. THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR WAS DAMAGED DUE TO THE IMPACT. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED MINOR INJURIES BUT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THERE ARE SEVERAL HAIRLINE CRACKS IN THE DASH BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN AND AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THIS VEHICLE HAS 48,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT PASSENGER INJURIES NOT TO FORGET THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR $53,000 AND EVIDENTLY HAS CHEAP AND POOR QUALITY MATERIALS . I HAVE REPLACED 2 DOOR HANDLES THAT BECAME SO LOOSE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WERE BOLTS MISSING. A GM PRODUCT MADE IN AMERICA WITH THIS POOR QUALITY! MAKES ME WONDER WHAT IS NEXT!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING, A CRACK WAS NOTICED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY AND THAT THE AIR BAGS COULD INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,340.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD CRACKED NEAR THE AIR BAGS. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAGS MIGHT INADVERTENTLY DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

DASH IS CRACKING AROUND PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. CONCERNED THAT IF AIRBAGS WENT OFF DASH PIECES WOULD IMPALE DRIVER AND/OR PASSENGERS.

CAME OUT TO TAKE THE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND THERE WAS A CRACK IN MY DASH NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. CRACK APPEARED OVER NIGHT, CAR WAS PARKED IN OCEANSIDE CA. CONCERN FOR PASSENGER AND FLYING DEBRIS OR IF AIRBAG WILL EVEN WORK PROPERLY. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM.

MY 2011 TAHOE HAS YET ANOTHER CRACK IN THE DASH. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS CHANGED BECAUSE I HAVE LESS THAN 30000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. NOW I HAVE 60000 AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. THIS TIME THEY ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO PAY AT 250 OF THE COST OF REPAIR! NO SIR! I'M DOING NOTHING TO MY VEHICLE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING TO CHANGE IT YET AGAIN. THIS IS NOT FAR! I USED TO LOVE CHEVY BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE!

THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED AT SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING WHERE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS IT HAPPENED SOMETIME IN SEPT'2015, EVEN THOUGH THE TAHOE ALWAYS IS PARKED IN SHADE (UNDER THE PORTE COCHERE) OR IN THE GARAGE. I HAVE CALLED GMAC AND THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO PAY OUT OF POCKET $800 FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AS THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT, ON CHEVY DASHBOARDS.

THREE DASH BOARD CRACKS APPEARED ON THE DASH OVERNIGHT. ONE CRACK NEAR DRIVERS DASH AREA UNDER WINDSHIELD, TWO OTHERS ON PASSENGER SIDE OF DASH BY THE AIRBAG. CONCERNED THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT OR CAUSE PROPER OPERATION ISSUES. THIS TAHOE WAS PERFECTLY FINE, CAME OUT TO CAR OVERNIGHT AND NOTICED THE CRACKS.

DASH HAS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG . IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED COULD SEND PIECES INTO PASSENGER. SEEMS IS A COMMON PROBLEM .

WE HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT A LUBE SHOP IN MARBLE FALLS TEXAS AND THE PERSON THAT CHANGED THE OIL TOLD US THE TRANSMISSION DIP STICK TUBE WAS LOOSE SO HE COULDN'T CHECK THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. WE LEFT THE LUBE SHOP AND WAS DRIVING DOWN 1431 IN MARBLE FALLS WHEN A GENTLEMAN STOPPED US AND TOLD US THE TAHOE WAS ON FIRE. WE POPPED THE HOOD AND INDEED THERE WERE FLAMES IN THE LOWER PART OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. WE CALLED THE POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY CAME TO OUR CALL WITHIN 10 MINUTES. IN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I SAW THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE TUBES BUT MY ISSUE IS THAT WE WERE NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND THE WAY THE RECALL IS WRITTEN DOES NOT CONSIDER FIRE FROM THE TRANSMISSION FLUID. THIS HAPPENED ON 10/13/2015.

WE TOOK OUR TAHOE INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SECOND ROW HEADRESTS REMOVED BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUSING THE CAR SEATS FOR OUR TWINS TO NOT SET BACK AND FLUSH AGAINST THE BACK OF THE SEAT. SO NOT ONLY DOES IT CAUSE THE CAR SEAT TO SIT UP MORE VERTICAL BUT ALSO A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE CAR SEAT CANNOT BE AS SECURELY FASTENED. THE DEALERSHIP AND LATER CUSTOMER CARE AT CORPORATE CHEVROLET SAID THAT THEY CANNOT REMOVE THOSE HEADRESTS FOR US BECAUSE OF A SAFETY CONCERN TO AN ADULT PASSENGER IN THOSE SEATS WITHOUT A HEADREST. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT AN ADULT WILL NOT BE SITTING THERE BECAUSE THE CAR SEATS ARE THERE. AND CONFIRMED THAT THEY WERE OK WITH A SAFETY CONCERN FOR KIDS IN CAR SEATS THAT IS HAPPENING, BUT NOT FOR AN ADULT THAT MIGHT HAPPEN.

THE DASH CRACKED ON PASSENGER SIDE. NO WARNING SIGNS OF IT HAPPENING AND SHARP. CAR WAS NOT RUNNING AT THE TIME IT CRACKED.MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 46,000 MILES AT THE TIME.

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD THAT MAKES THE DASHBOARD FLOP, AND I'M WORRIED IT MAY AFFECT THE AIRBAGS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE TRUCK HAS NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK, NEVER PLACE ANY ITEMS ON THE DASH, AND I USE A VISOR TO PROTECT THE DASH DURING WORK, AND THE TRUCK IS GARAGED WHEN I'M AT HOME. THE DEALER SAID IT WILL COST APPROX. $1,000 TO REPLACE! WHY WOULD I REPLACE A DEFECTIVE DASH? THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL!

PLASTIC DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND CREATING POTENTIAL PROJECTILE PIECES OF SHARP PLASTIC IN CASE OF IMPACT. CRACKING NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND NEAR THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. CRACKS JUST SHOWED UP, THERE WAS NOTHING VISIBLE BEFORE THEM AND SUDDENLY THEY ARE THERE.

NOTICED MAJOR CRACK ON DASHBOARD BOTH ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. THIS JUST APPPEARED CAR WAS PARKED FOR THE NIGHT WENT OUT IN THE MORNING AND NOTICED THE CRACK. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR ABUSED. THIS IS A CAR THAT HAD BEEN KEPT VERY CLEAN BOTH INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR.

THERE IS A MAJOR CRACK THAT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AT THE BASE OF THE STEERING SECTION, CLOSEST TO THE WINDSHIELD.

MY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN TWO PLACES NOW. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CRACK NEAR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WILL AFFECT IT'S EFFECTIVENESS IN A CRASH. I'VE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP & GM AND BEEN TOLD THEY WILL NOT FIX IT.

DASHBOARD CRACKED IN TWO PLACES LIKE MANY OTHER 2007-2011 GM. CONCERNED OF SAFETY ISSUE IF AIRBAGS WERE TO DEPLOY.PLASTIC FROM DASH COULD INJURE OR POSSIBLY PIERCE AIRBAG RENDERING IT USELESS.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ON TAHOE. NUMEROUS PREVIOUS OWNERS HAVE FILED THE SAME COMPLAINT. GM (CHEVY) REFUSE TO RECALL THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVY TAHOE Z71. I WAS GETTING IN THE VEHICLE AND SEEN THAT THE DASH HAD A CRACK. I HADN'T HIT ANYTHING, HAD AN ACCIDENT, NOR SPEEDING PRIOR TO SEEING THIS. I SEE THAT ITS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CHEVY.

THE DASHBOARD ON MY TAHOE HAS BEGAN TO CRACK. IT ORIGINALLY BEGAN TO CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND HAS SPREAD UP OVER THE CONTROL PANEL. LAST WEEK I NOTICED A CRACK ON THE PASSENGER SIDE THAT LEADS RIGHT TO THE AIRBAG. NOW THAT THE AIRBAG IS INVOLVED I DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. SEEING THE WIDESPREAD COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS I FEEL THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. $70,000 VEHICLES SHOULD NOT HAVE PLASTIC DASHBOARDS THAT CRUMBLE AWAY. UPDATED 09/09/15*LJ

I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THAT CRACK BECAME TWO CRACKS AND NOW THERE IS ONE FORMING BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IT HAS JUST UNDER 18,000 MILES AND IS IN IMMACULATE CONDITION. AFTER INVESTIGATING THIS ONLINE IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE REPORTING THE SAME CRACKS. I AM WORKING WITH THE DEALER TO REPLACE THIS (AND IT WILL COST ME OUT OF MY OWN POCKET FOR PART OF THIS) BUT HIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT AND I THINK A RECALL MIGHT BE WARRANTED.

I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF AN AIRBAG INJURY.

I PURCHASED THE ABOVE USED VEHICLE LAST SUMMER AND THE DASH AT THAT TIME HAD TWO CRACKS ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE DASH. THE CRACKS ARE LOCATED CLOSE TO THE FRONT AIRBAGS ONE CRACK HAS NOW RAN MORE THAN HALF WAY UP OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. I HAD FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND THEN HAD SPOKE WITH AN INDIVIDUAL FROM GM THEY PAID TO HAVE THE VEHICLE INSPECTED. WELL I JUST FEEL LIKE THE CRACKS POSE A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE DASH IS THAT WEAK THAT IT HAS CRACKED THEN WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF I WAS IN ACCIDENT THE DASH GOING TO EXPLODE OR MAYBE EVEN MAKE THE AIRBAGS MALFUNCTION. GM REFUSES TO FIX THE DASH I AM SORRY THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE THIS PROBLEM HAS APPARENTLY BEEN GOING ON FOR A GOOD WHILE. WHY WOULD A COMPANY NOT WANT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM AND AVOID POSSIBLE LAWSUITS. IT'S KINDA LIKE A WELLNESS PROGRAM DO PREVENTATIVE CHECKUPS TO SAVE MONEY IN THE FUTURE. THESE VEHICLE COST WAY TO MUCH TO HAVE SUCH WEAK AND UNSUPPORTED DASHES. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS AND YET NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THIS MAKES NO SENSE TO ME AT ALL THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND THOROUGHLY EXAMINED. THIS TAHOE ALSO SEEMS TO HAVE OTHER ISSUES IT RIDES LIKE A LOG WAGON AND PUT BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT LAST AUGUST. NOW THE FRONT CAP IS PEELING OFF AND IT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TOUCHED UP IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE TOOK SOMETHING AND JUST PUT BLACK SPOTS ALL OVER THE FRONT. THE TAHOE IS NOT DRIVEN ON GRAVEL ROADS AND IS NOT MISTREATED. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL SUV'S AND THIS IS THE WORST ONE I HAVE OWNED
