2012 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

THE TOP DASHBOARD PIECE HAS MULTIPLE CRACKS IN IT SIMILAR TO OTHER REPORTS MADE BY CONSUMERS. ONE CRACK IS NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT, AND ANOTHER IS AT THE BASE OF THE DASHBOARD BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL. NO IMPACT OR ACCIDENT CAUSE THESE CRACKS; THEY SIMPLY APPEARED ON THE CAR AND HAVE CONTINUED TO GROW IN SIZE.

WHEN IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT THE CAR CONTINUE TO PULL AHEAD AS IF I HAD MY FOOT ON THE GAS PETAL. 2ND ITEM: DEVELOPED A CRACK ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE DASH BOARD CLOSE TO THE AIR BAG COVER. BOTH ITEMS RATTLE WHEN I'M DRIVING.

THE DASHBOARD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE ABOVE THE ODOMETER HAS CRACKED, AS WELL AS THE DASHBOARD ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE ON LEFT HAND CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE IS WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND NEVER TAKEN OFF ROAD. I NOTICED THE CRACKS WHEN I GOT INTO MY VEHICLE ONE MORNING. THE CRACKS JUST SEEMED TO APPEAR OVERNIGHT.

CRACKED DASH RIGHT WHERE THE AIRBAG IS. I PARK MY CAR IN THE GARAGE AND USE SUNSHADES WHEN NOT PARKED INSIDE. MY TAHOE IS NOT THAT OLD. I TAKE EXCELLENT CARE OF IT, AND THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR THE DASH TO CRACK. IT ALMOST SEEMS LIKE THERE MAY BE TOO MUCH PRESSURE FROM THE AIRBAG BEING INSIDE THERE CAUSING IT TO CRACK. IT'S DEFINITELY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I'M NOT SURE THE AIRBAG WILL WORK PROPERLY IF NEEDED.

DASH BOARD ON DRIVE AND PASSENGERSIDE ARE CRACK

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DASH, AT THE UPPER LEFT HAND CORNED OF THE AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN A COLLISION SINCE I PURCHASED IT NOR DO I DO ANY KIND OF OFFROADING ON ROUGH TERRAIN. VEHICLE IS ALWAYS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I WOKE UP ONE MORNING, GOT IN THE TRUCK AND THE CRACK WAS THERE. THE EVENING PRIOR, THERE WAS NO CRACK IN THE DASH. I DO NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CAUSE OF THIS CRACK. WHILE DOING RESEARCH, I NOTICED THAT OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE HAVE EXPERIENCED AIRBAG FAILURES WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS AND AT LEAST ONE FATALITY. THE CRACK TENDS TO EXPAND WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT AND CONTRACTS TO ALMOST AN UNNOTICEABLE STATE WHEN COOL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM CUTTING OUT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. FULL RESET OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM DURING DRIVING CONDITIONS. BRAKES UNRESPONSIVE, STEERING, ENGINE, DASH AND ALL OTHER ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT. VEHICLE WAS SOLD TO US THROUGH RON CATER IN ALVIN, TX WITH AN OPEN RECALL AND NOT REPAIRED BEFORE BEING DRIVEN OFF THE LOT. WILL BE TAKING IT IN ASAP.

I HAVE A 2 INCH CRACK BY MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG IN MY DASH ALSO THAT JUST KIND OF APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE AND THE CENTER OF THE WINDSHIELD PANEL OF THE DASH IS ALSO LIFTING UP. I HAVE JUST NOTICED.

TWO CRACKS IN THE DASH, 1 ON TOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL & THE OTHER ALONG SIDE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG; WHICH I ASSUME IS NOT VERY SAFE IN CASE OF A SITUATION WHERE THE AIR BAG MAY BE DEPLOYED.

TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD, ONE MAJOR CRACK ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 42K MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY TAKEN CARE OF. LARGER CRACK ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL IS SPREADING, CAN HEAR IT CRACKING WHEN DRIVING OR STARING UP THE CAR.

ONE MORNING I CAME OUT TO FIND A 1/4 INCH CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD IN FRONT OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS IT GREW TO ABOUT AN INCH. I KEEP THE TRUCK IN SHOWROOM CONDITION AND AM SHOCKED TO FIND HOW COMMON THIS IS ON $64,000 TRUCKS WITHIN 1-3 YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. IT'S UNACCEPTABLE. MY 1998 TAHOE INTERIOR WAS PERFECT AND IT HAD 300,000 MILES. THE CRACK APPEARED OVERNIGHT.

SEVERELY CRACKED DASH OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND MULTIPLE CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

CRACKING DASH BY PASSENGER AIR BAG CLOSET TO THE WINDSHEILD.

I, LIKE SEVERAL HUNDRED CHEVY TAHOE, GM OWNERS (APPROXIMATE YEARS 2007-2013) ARE EXPERIENCING "CRACKED DASHES". THESE CRACKS ARE APPEARING AT VARIOUS LACES ON THE DASH BUT THE AREA OF MOST CONCERN IS ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. GM REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE POTENTIAL HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS. TOO, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THESE HAVE BEEN WAY UNDER-REPORTED TO YOU. THESE IS A LENGTHY FACEBOOK SITE DEDICATED TO THE NUMBERS OF OWNERS FACING THESE CHALLENGES. PLEASE FORCE GM TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THESE POOR DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION PRACTICES.

DASH HAS CRACKED WITHIN LAST MONTH INTO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DOOR. CONCERNED THAT DEPLOYMENT OF PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD RESULT IN DEFECTIVE DEPLOYMENT OR FURTHER BREAKAGE OF DASH CAUSING DANGER TO AUTOMOBILE PASSENGERS DUE TO SHARDS BEING BROKEN DURING DEPLOYMENT.

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, CRACKS IN DASH DEVELOPED NEXT TO AIRBAG AND OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL, MANY OWNERS HAVE COMPLAINED REGARDING HAVING THE SAME CRACKS IN THE SAME AREA, CONCERN WITH CRACK NEAR AIRBAG - WILL AIRBAG DEPLOY PROPERLY WHEN NEEDED AND/OR WILL DASH SHATTER WHEN/IF AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED

DASH ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL JUST SPLIT. ALSO DISCOVERED CRACK ON DASH ABOVE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

I NOTICED CRACK IN DASH ON JAN 2, 2016. TAHOE IS BARELY OVER 3 YEARS OLD. I AM CONCERNED CRACK IS NEXT TO AIRBAG AND COULD CAUSE SAFETY ISSUE IF AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED.

THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG.

THE HVAC ACTUATORS OF ALL SIDES ARE VERY REGULARLY DAMAGED AND MUST BE RECALLED, EVEN NEWER VERSION LIKE 2012 ARE FACING SUCH ISSUES.

2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE. BROKEN DASH NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND DRIVERS ODOMETER.

I WAS PASSING ON A TWO LANE HIGH WAY AT AN ACCELERATED SPEED AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE DIES, NO LIGHTS NO NOTHING TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE. LUCKILY I HAVE ENOUGH MOMENTUM THAT I SAFELY GET AROUND THE SEMI AND CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO COAST UNTIL I FIND A SAFE PLACE TO PULL OVER. I CALL MY LOCAL DEALER WHO WILL NOT COME TOW ME AS I AM APPROXIMATELY 50 MILES FROM HOME ALTHOUGH I DO HAVE GM ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. I TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND IT DOES RESTART SO I MANAGE TO DRIVE TO A NEARBY DEALERSHIP AND LEAVE IT THERE. NOTHING SHOWS UP ON THE COMPUTER I REFUSE TO TAKE IT HOME. SHOULD THEY NOT BE ABLE TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM I WILL HOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND GENERAL MOTORS 100% RESPONSIBLE. THANK GOD MY DAUGHTER AND I ARE SAFE BUT THIS IS A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN IF NOT RESOLVED. *TR

WHILE TURNING LEFT (TAHOE) WITH A PROTECTED GREEN ARROW AT AN X-SHAPED INTERSECTION, VEHICLE (KIA SEDAN) AT FAULT FAILED TO YIELD AND ENTERED THE INTERSECTION AT SPEEDS UPWARDS OF 40 MPH FROM THE LEFT OF THE TAHOE. FRONT-IMPACT COLLISION OCCURRED; DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE INTERSECTION AND THE VELOCITY OF THE IMPACT, TAHOE STRUCK PASSENGER SIDE OF KIA SEDAN. TRAJECTORY OF IMPACT CAUSED DIRECTIONAL CHANGES IN UPWARDS OF 90* FOR BOTH VEHICLES; THE FORCE OF THE PRIMARY ACCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE ALSO CAUSED MENTIONED VEHICLES TO COLLIDE WITH LEFT REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE (HONDA SEDAN), CAUSING NEAR 360* ROTATION OF THE HONDA SEDAN. DUE TO THE FORCE OF IMPACT, FRONT & SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED ON BOTH THE KIA SEDAN AND THE HONDA SEDAN, BUT FAILED TO DEPLOY ON THE TAHOE. SCENE INDICATED THAT THE KIA SEDAN MADE NO ATTEMPT TO BRAKE OR DECREASE SPEED PRIOR TO COLLISION; POSTED SPEED LIMIT AT INTERSECTION IS 40 MPH. FORCE WAS SUCH THAT AFTER THE COLLISION, TAHOE TRANSMISSION WAS IN DRIVE, BUT REMAINED AT A COMPLETE STOP. DAMAGE SUSTAINED ON THE TAHOE INCLUDE FRONT-END BODY DAMAGE, ENGINE DAMAGE (VEHICLE REQUIRED TOWING AND WAS INOPERABLE), AND FRAME DAMAGE, AT A MINIMUM. IN ADDITION, ENGINE SERVICE LIGHTS AS WELL AS ONSTAR VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS INDICATE THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM, ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM, AND THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM ALSO SUSTAINED DAMAGE AND REQUIRE ATTENTION. MULTIPLE FIRST-RESPONDERS COMMENTED ON THE ODDITY THAT, GIVEN THE DAMAGE SUSTAINED BY THE TAHOE AND

THE ELECTRONIC TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS SHOWING THEY HAD BEEN TURNED OFF CAME ON, AND THE MESSAGE DISPLAY SAID SERVICE THE SAME. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHECKED FOR ERRORS AND RESET COMPUTER. IT HAS KEPT GOING IN AND OUT OF OPERATION SPORADICALLY FOR THE PAST SEVERAL MONTHS. REALLY NO EXPLANATION. HAVE TRIED TO FIND SIMILARITIES IN THE SITUATIONS WHEN IT IS A PROBLEM. THE INCIDENTS SEEM RANDOM. I HAVE NOTICED THAT WHEN I HIT BUMP OR DIP IN A ROAD, IT HAS BECOME INOPERATIVE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. BUT IT DOESN'T HAPPEN WITH EVERY BUMP OR DIP. IT ALSO OCCURS WITHOUT HITTING A BUMP OR DIP. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. VEHICLES ENGINE AND INSTRUMENT PANEL CYCLED ON AND OFF RANDOMLY. NOTING THAT ONCE I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND COME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE VEHICLE FINALLY SHUTDOWN. FURTHERMORE ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE TRUCK ON ONLY RESULTED IN FLICKERING ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE ENGINE. TWO WEEKS FOLLOWING THIS EVENT FORTUNATELY ENOUGH AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED WE NOTICED THAT ELECTRIC FOLDING MIRRORS WEREN'T RESPONDING TO THE PUSH BUTTON ACTUATING THE FOLDING MIRRORS FEATURE. THIS EVENT WE WERE ABLE TO GET ON OUR CAMERA PHONE. SAME FLICKERING OF ELECTRONICS AND AGAIN THE ENGINE DIDN'T RESPOND, TURN OVER. IN BOTH OCCASION IT WAS ONLY AFTER SITTING APPROXIMATELY 30MIN. THAT VEHICLE FINALLY RESPONDED AND TURNED ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH AND APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES FAILED TO RESPOND, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO CRASH INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE FRONT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE AND WAS NEITHER INSPECTED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE INCIDENT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,000.
