2013 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

DASH IS CRACKING OVER STEERING WHEEL TOWARDS PASSENGER SIDE.

DASH SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS, WHICH CAUSES DISTRACTING SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN DRIVING. I FIND MYSELF TAKING MY EYES OFF THE ROAD IN ORDER TO PUT MY HAND ON THE SOURCE OF HE SQUEAKING CRACK IN THE PLASTIC.

DASH CRACK WITHOIT WARNING ABOVE GAUGE CLUSTER ON DRIVER'S SIDE. VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT A MAJORITY OF THE TIME. VEHICLE SPENDS A FEW DAYS A WEEK OUTSIDE DURING THE DAY. FIRST SIGN OF A CRACK APPEARED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OUTSIDE DURING A WORK DAY. HIGH TEMP FOR THE DAY WAS APPROXIMATELY 90 DEGREES.

MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN TWO PLACES AS SHOWN ON THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. ONE CRACK IS NEAR THE HOUSING FOR THE AIRBAG, AND THE OTHER IS FORMING ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE CRACKS RESULT IN THE DASHBOARD SHACKING ON ANY UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, SO EVENTUALLY THE SMALLER CRACK WILL PROGRESS ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHEVY DUE TO A SAFETY HAZARD FROM THIS DEFECTIVE PART. REPLACEMENT OR REPAIRS ARE ESTIMATED TO BE $1200-$2000. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER THE COURSE OF NORMAL DRIVING.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE DASHBOARD ALSO HAS NUMEROUS OTHER CRACKS. THE CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED OVER THE TIME SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN SEPTEMBER 2015. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PICTURES RELATING TO THIS ISSUE CIRCULATING ONLINE. I ALSO PURCHASED THE BEST WARRANTY GM OFFERS, INCLUDING THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY, BUT THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE DASHBOARD AS I WAS TOLD.

REAR WINDOW DEFROSTER ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE BROKE WHILE OPENING GLASS HATCH. SOLDERED JOINT BROKE AWAY FROM GLASS. SEEMS AS IF THE ELECTRICAL WIRE IS TOO SHORT OR UNDER TOO MUCH TENSION. BACK GLASS WILL NO LONGER DEFROST LIMITING VISIBILITY. VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN PROBLEM OCCURRED. *TR

CRACK IN DASHBOARD WITHOUT CAUSE. FLAWED WORKMANSHIP AND/OR MATERIALS. *TR

CRACKING OF THE DASHBOARD IN MULTIPLE AREAS. DRIVER SIDE, CENTER SPEAKER AND IN FROM OF PASSENGER AIRBAG. *TR

CRACKS HAVE DEVELOPED AT THE CENTER AND PASSENGER SIDE AREAS OF THE DASHBOARD AND APPEAR TO BE GROWING AS THE DASH COOLS AND WARMS. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FOR SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO NOTICING THE CRACKS. THE PASSENGER SIDE CRACK, LIKE MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED, IS AT THE RIGHT REAR CORNER OF THE AIRBAG CONTAINMENT AREA ON THE DASH. THIS CRACK IS ESPECIALLY CONCERNING AS IT LOOKS TO BE UNDER PRESSURE AND BULGING. MY BIGGEST CONCERN AT THIS POINT IS THE AIRBAG GOING OFF PREMATURELY WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. *TR

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS INCLUDING 3 CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH I BELIEVE LEADS TO A SAFETY HAZARD SHOULD THE BAG DEPLOY. IF DEPLOYED, THE SHATTERED PLASTIC WOULD BE SENT AS PROJECTILES THROUGH THE CAR RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. ALSO, IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED, THE PLASTIC SHARDS COULD CUT THE AIRBAGS RENDERING THEM INEFFECTIVE. I'M ASKING FOR THIS TO BE REPORTED TO GENERAL MOTORS AS A SEVER SAFETY CONCERN AND ISSUE A RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM BEFORE THERE IS SERIOUS INJURY. THANK YOU. *TR

I TOOK MY TAHOE IN FOR REPAIRS AT AL SIERRA CHEVROLET TO GET AN 02 OXYGEN SENSOR REPLACED. UPON RECEIVING MY TAHOE BACK FROM REPAIRS I NOTICED THAT MY DASH BOARD HAD CRACKED NEAR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. *TR

CRACKS IN DASH AT AIRBAG CORNER AND ON DRIVERS SIDE

MY DASH IS CRACKED IN 3 PLACES AS OF THE LAST 2 WEEKS. IN GOOGLING THE ISSUE, IT APPEARS THERE WAS A LAW SUIT AGAINST GM ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART IN THE VEHICLE. HTTPS://WWW.CARPARTS.COM/BLOG/THE-LATEST-ON-THE-GM-CRACKED-DASH-ISSUE/ I WOULD LIKE HELP WITH RECTIFYING THE REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR OF THE DEFECTIVE PART.

3 OUT OF 4 DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE QUIT WORKING, ALL WITHIN A TWO WEEK PERIOD.

TWO CRACKS HAVE APPEARED ON MY DASH, ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND A SMALL ONE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR HAS 34,000 MILES, IS GARAGED AND ONLY DRIVEN ON PAVED ROADS. WHEN PARKED IN A LOT, A WINDOW VISER IS ALWAYS USED. I NOTICED THE LARGER CRACK ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO. IT GETS BIGGER EVERY DAY.

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. IT IS UNKNOWN IF THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OR MOVING AT THE MOMENT THE CRACKS OCCURRED. NOTHING HAS EVER BEEN PLACED ON THE DASHBOARD THAT COULD CAUSE THE CRACKS.

I JUST NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD IN MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ IS CRACKING!!

DASHBOARD CRACKING.

THE DASH ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF MY 2013 TAHOE HAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGED WHEN NOT IN USE. I BECAME AWARE OF THIS ISSUE ON NOVEMBER 20, 2019. THERE ARE TWO CRACKS THAT ALMOST INTERSECT IN A "V" SHAPE.

MULTIPLE DASHBOARD CRACKS

PASSENGER DASHBOARD WHERE AIRBAG IS LOCATED HAS A CRACK. CALLED THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD IT'S NOT COVERED BY EXTENDED WARRANTY.

I'M SEEING LARGE STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND CRACKS IN THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD, BUT ON TOP OF THE MAIN SPEEDOMETER ETC DOME AND OVER BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AREA. THE ONES OVER ON THE DRIVER SIDE ARE LARGE ENOUGH TO ACTUALLY FLOP AROUND. IT DOES APPEAR TO BE A SAFETY HAZARD ESPECIALLY IN CASE OF ACCIDENT WHEN JAGGED PIECES WOULD BE ABOUT. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN THIS CONDITION (NOTICED AFTER PURCHASE WHEN ON ROUGHER ROADS WITHOUT RADIO AND THE VARIOUS PIECES STARTED MAKING QUITE A RACKET.)

DASHBOARD ON VEHICLE IS CRACKING OVER STEERING COLUMN AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

THE TOP OF THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS. THE CRACKS ARE GETTING LONGER. THIS IS HAPPENING OVER TIME. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO PROVOKE THIS.

JULY 16TH, 2019 MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT OF TOTAL LOSS. TRAVEL SPEEDS WERE 30 MPH. IN ATTEMPTS TO STOP DUE TO VEHICLES TRAVELING IN FRONT OF MINE HAD COME TO ABRUPT STOPS MY BRAKES FAILED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE STOPPING WHILE STRAIGHT LINE STEERING. THUS I WAS FORCED TO STEER LEFT TO AVOID COLLISION. MY BRAKES WERE QUICKLY APPLIED, MODERATE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, BRAKES WERE SLOW TO RESPOND WITH MINIMAL BRAKING. THERE WAS COLLISION WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, CLIPPING THEIR DRIVER SIDE REAR BUMPER TO MY PASSENGER SIDE FRONT CORNER FENDER PEALING IT BACK LIKE A CAN OPENER. THIS HAPPENED ON A STATE HWY. THE STABILITRAC INDICATOR AND SERVICE BRAKES HAD APPEARED ON AND OFF IN THE VEHICLES DIC INTERMITTENTLY OVER THE PAST MONTH. NO CODES PRESENT. THE VEHICLE HAD NEW BRAKES (ROTORS, PADS AND BRAKE FLUID), 43 DAYS PRIOR. IT HAD 138,627 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. 1) WE ARE LUCKY THERE WERE NO INJURIES RESULTING FROM THIS ACCIDENT. 2) FOR A VEHICLE THAT WAS PURCHASED FOR $61K AND PAID OFF, 6 YEARS LATER LOSSES 2/3 OF ITS PURCHASED VALUE. 3) HAVE NOW HAD TO PURCHASE A NEW VEHICLE AND BACK TO BEING $20K IN THE HOLE. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS A DIRECT RESULT FROM THE CURRENT RECALL GM JUST ANNOUNCED THAT COVERS 2014-2018 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN AND TAHOE MODELS. GM STATES AS THE VEHICLE AGES, THE PUMP IN THE POWER-ASSIST BRAKES CAN PUT OUT LESS VACUUM THAN NEEDED, INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE AND RICK OF A CRASH. NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V645

1- EVERY TIME I APPLY MY BRAKES, THEY VIBRATE, SPEED DOESN'T MATTER, I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING TO MY HUSBAND ABOUT THIS FOR ABOUT 1 YEAR. 2- SOMETIMES WHEN I APPLY MY BRAKES THEN RELEASE THEM A LITTLE AND REAPPLY THE 2ND TIME IT FEELS LIKE I AM PRESSING AGAINST A BRICK WALL AND CAN'T PUSH THE BRAKES. I NOTICE THIS WHEN I AM GOING SUPER SLOW, PARKING LOT, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, ETC.

THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE HAS SEVERE CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AS WELL AS THE DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND NEVER BEEN IN A WRECK. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THE PLASTIC MAY BECOME PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE FAULT OR COVER REPAIRS.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ON RIGHT & LEFT SIDE AT PASSENGER AIRBAG.

THE DASH ON THIS VEHICLE HAS SEVER CRACKS IN 2 DIFFERENT PLACES. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN WRECKED AND HAS BEEN VERY WELL MAINTAINED. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TAHOES. IT IS FORESEEABLE THAT INJURIES WOULD BE SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED IN THE CASE OF A FRONT-END COLLISION SHOULD THE DASH COME COMPLETELY APART AND LEAVE SHARP EDGES EXPOSED.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND DRIVER SIDE STEERING WHEEL. CHEVROLET DEALER REFUSED TO REPLACE IT EVEN UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. IF I AM EVER IN A ACCIDENT THAT BAG DEPLOYS, PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD WILL BECOME PROJECTILES. I ESCALATED WITH AND GM WITH NO REPLY.

I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND HEARD A RATTLE COMING FROM MY DASHBOARD. THE VENT NEAR THE WINDSHIELD WAS VISIBLY VIBRATING. I THEN NOTICED A CRACK EXTENDING FROM THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG COVER TO THE VENT. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS HAPPENS ON SOME MODELS/YEAR. THIS IS MY THIRD TAHOE IN OVER 20 YEARS AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE. THE VIBRATION IS GOING TO MAKE THE CRACK WORSE AND THE DASHBOARD WILL START TO BREAK APART. I BELIEVE THAT THE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT IS ALSO AT RISK.

LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE, STORED IN A GARAGE AT WORK AND AT HOME. DASHBOARD CRACKED AT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AS PLASTIC PARTS FROM BROKEN DASHBOARD CAN BECOME DEADLY MISSILES DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT AND POTENTIALLY HARM OR CAUSE DEATH TO PASSENGER (MY CHILD). SPENT NEARLY $600 FOR A DASHBOARD ASSEMBLY THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER REQUIRED REPLACING.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP. I THOUGHT A ROCK HAD HIT MY WINDSHIELD. WHEN I ARRIVED HOME I SAW SOME WHITE MATERIAL WHICH LOOKED LIKE COTTON ON THE DASH. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT THE "POP"WAS MY DASHBOARD CRACKING. MY CAR IS GARAGED ACCEPT WHEN I AM AT WORK, WHICH WHEN THERE ARE SUN PROTECTORS ON MY DASHBOARD DURING THE WARM MONTHS. MY TAHOE ONLY HAS 76,000 MILES ON IT.

CRACKED DASH CRACKED FOR NO REASON

CRACKED DASH - DASH HAS SEPARATED/CRACKED AT AIRBAG RELEASE LOCATION AS WELL AS AT THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. UNKNOWN IF THIS WILL AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENTS OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES IN SPEEDO CLUSTER. WAS TOLD TO REPORT THIS BY DEALER.

WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, TAHOE STOPPED RUNNING AND STALLED OUT. TOOK TO LOCAL SHOP TO CHECK THE CHECK ENGINE CODE - FUEL PUMP FLOW CONTROL MODULE

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN DASH PANEL AROUND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY BECOME DANGEROUS SHRAPNEL IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT.

DASH HAS CRACKED OVER THE LAST YEAR AROUND THE AIRBAG AND CONCERN IS THAT PIECES COULD BECOME SHRAPNEL IN CASE OF A DEPLOYMENT.

CONCERN OF BRITTLE PLASTIC DASH PIECES CAUSING FURTHER INJURY IN A CRASH OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. SEEM TO BE A PROBLEM WITH GM DASHBOARDS BETWEEN 2007-2013. THIS A A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE GARAGE KEPT AND REGULARLY DETAILED WITH UV PROTECTANT. THE DASH SHOULD NOT BE THIS BRITTLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED FROM THE TOP DRIVER'S SIDE TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG AREA. THE CRACK WAS RAPIDLY EXPANDING AND THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG COULD DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NELSON HALL CHEVROLET (1811 SOUTH FRONTAGE ROAD, MERIDIAN, MS 39301, (601) 621-4324) WHERE THEY STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD AND DETERMINED THAT THE DRIVER'S DOOR PANEL WAS FRACTURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

REAR DEFROST WIRE CONSTANTLY SEPARATES FROM THE GLASS. WE HAVE BEEN TO VARIOUS DEALERSHIPS MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES AND THE SAME PROBLEM PERSISTS. MANY OF THESE REPAIRS HAVE INCLUDED A BRAND NEW BACK WINDOW AND WIRING AND THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR. OUR TRUCK HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE DEALER FOR DAYS AT A TIME ONLY TO BREAK AGAIN WITHIN DAYS/WEEKS OF REPAIR. THIS CREATES A VERY UNSAFE DRIVING EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER MONTHS (NOW) WHEN WE CANNOT SEE OUT OF THE BACK WINDOW. THIS CASE IS FULLY REGISTERED WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND WITH GM DIRECTLY, BUT NO PERMANENT RESOLUTION HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. THE WIRE IS CURRENTLY DETACHED, IT FELL OFF AGAIN WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THE LAST REPAIR. THIS HAS HAPPENED BOTH WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND WHILE IT IS MOVING.

DASHBOARD CRACKING CAN RESULT IN STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ISSUES THAT CAN RESULT IN THE CREATION OF PROJECTILES IN THE INSTANCE OF A COLLISION, AIRBAGS BEING UNABLE TO PROPERLY DEPLOY, ETC. ALMOST ALL GM VEHICLES IN THIS MODEL YEAR RANGE HAVE THIS ISSUE; IS OF WIDESPREAD CONCERN. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AND AM WORRIED THAT IF I WERE EVER TO BE IN AN ACCIDENT, MY SAFETY WOULD BE JEOPARDIZED.

CRACKING IN THE DASHBOARD THAT HAS CARRIED INTO THE AIRBAG SECTION OF THE DASH THAT PREVENTED DEPLOYMENT IN AN ACCIDENT ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES OF DASH

CRACK IN DASH ADJACENT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONCERN DASH WOULD SHATTER IF AIR BAG DEPLOYS.

SPLIT DASH AT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIR BAG

THE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN MY 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE PUTTING THE PASSENGER AT RISK DURING AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THE CRACK RUNS DOWN TO THE AIRBAG IT COULD POSSIBLE SHATTER THE PLASTIC AND DAMAGE PASSENGERS. I HAVE FOUND THIS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE AND THAT INJURIES HAVE OCCURRED DUE TO THIS UNSAFE DASH. THIS NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS.

TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY TRAK LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING, COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALOT CHEVROLET TRUCKS SUV AND CARS. I HAD 2005 TAHOE PREVIOUSLY AND THE SAME PROBLEM WAS OCCURRING.

MY TRACTION AND STABILITRAK SYSTEM WILL HAVE RANDOM ALERTS THAT WILL GO ON AND OFF FOR NO REASON. MY DASH HAS ALSO CRACKED BY FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG AND MY FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE AND NOW MAKES CRACKING NOISES AT TIMES AND NOW RATTLES WHEN DRIVING.

CRACKED DASHBOARD

I OWN A 2013 CHEVY TAHOE AND OUT OF NO WHERE THE DASH BOARD CRACKED AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WITHIN A DAY THE CRACK MADE THE DASHBOARD DROP AND NOW HAS SPREAD WITHIN A WEEK TO ABOVE THE STEERING COLUMN. AS THIS RELATES TO THE AIRBAG, I CONSIDER IT A SAFETY HAZARD AND A DEFECT. I CAN PROVIDE PHOTOS IF APPROPRIATE.
