2013 Chevrolet Tahoe complaints

CRACKED DASHBOARDS. HAD TO HAVE ENTIRE DASHBOARD REPLACED.

I OWN A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT. I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE. LAST WEEK, I NOTICED MULTIPLE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD IN THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG; THEY SEEMED TO HAVE APPEARED OUT OF NOWHERE. THERE WAS NO INCIDENT BEFOREHAND THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE DAMAGE. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY FROM THE LAST TIME I HAD USED IT, TO THE NEXT TIME I ENTERED MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE DASHBOARD CRACKS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO PRESTON CHEVROLET, A NEARBY GM DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS ADVISED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. MANAGER THAT THIS TYPE OF ISSUE IS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE, ALTHOUGH HE HAD SEEN IT IN THE PAST.. HE FURTHER ADVISED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO OBTAIN OR PROVIDE ANY SORT OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO ME IN HAVING THE DEFECTIVE, DAMAGED DASHBOARD REPAIRED. AFTER RESEARCHING, I FOUND THAT IT IS QUITE A COMMON PROBLEM, AND WHAT'S MORE, THAT CHEVY TAHOE'S ARE THE 'COMMON DENOMINATOR.' I FEEL THAT I HAVE BEEN MISLEAD BY PRESTON CHEVROLET. I'VE SINCE CONTACTED GM AND I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE FROM A "SENIOR CASE ADVISOR." I AM PRIMARILY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY OF MY PASSENGERS. IN THE EVENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE COLLISION, I AM CERTAIN THAT SHARDS OF PLASTIC WOULD BE HURTLED INTO THE AIR, BECOMING DANGEROUS PROJECTILES THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR HARM, NOT TO MENTION THE POOR AESTHETIC APPEARANCE AND OVERALL DEVALUATION OF MY VEHICLE THAT THE FRACTURES HAVE CAUSED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. I FEEL I AM OWED REPAIR AND/OR RESTITUTION FROM

CRACKING DASHBOARD

DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED AND COLLAPSED ON TOP CENTER AT CORNER OF PASSENGER AIRBAG PANEL.

DASH CRACKED FROM CORNER OF AIRBAG TO TOP OF DASH. VEHICLE STAYS IN GARAGE OTHER THAN WHEN DRIVEN TO WORK. WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACK WAS SEEN.

CRACKED DASHBOARD RIGHT ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL, ALSO BROKEN CLIPS ON DEFROST OVERLAY.

DASHBOARD CRACKING. EACH DAY IT IS IN DIFFERENT SPOTS. NOW THERE ARE CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH IS A MAJOR CONCERN AND COULD CAUSE HARM.

MY DASH BOARD CRACKED IN THE TWO PLACES MY AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED. IT JUST CRACKED FOR NO REASON ON BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDES

MY DOOR HANDLE FELL OFF ON DRIVER SIDE TWICE AND MY OTHER THREE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. VERY CHEAPLY MADE. VERY DISAPPOINTED I DID NOT GET WHAT I PAID FOR THAT'S FOR SURE. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE AT 48,000!

THE INSIDE DOOR PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BROKE WHERE HANDLE IS. VERY VERY DISGUSTED AT ALL THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS NEW

DASH HAS SEVERELY CRACKED IN TWO PLACES.

AS WITH MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS THERE IS A CRACK IN THE DASH. I FEEL THIS IS UNSAFE IF THERE IS EVER AN ACCIDENT THAT OCCURS AND THE AIR BAG WILL NEED TO DEPLOY. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR 30 DAYS AGO AND NOW HAVE A CRACK IN THE DASH. BY READINGUP ON THIS, THERE IS SO MANY COMPLAINTS. I HAVE HAD IN THE PAST A 2004 TAHOE WITH NO,COMPLAINTS.I FEEL THAT GM SHOULD GET OFF THERE POCKET BOOKS AND RECALL THIS. THIS TAHOE ONLY HAS 48,000 MILES. PRACTICALLY BRAND NEW. COME ON GM DO THE RIGHT THING. IF AN ACCIDENT OCCURS AND I LOOSE AN EYE OR SUFFER FACIAL DAMAGE DUE TO FLYING DEBRIS FROM A CRACKED DASH THAT WILL BE ON YOU. I ALSO HAVE A CAMRY. THEY RECALLED THERE DASH JUST BECAUSE ITS STICKY. STEP UP MADE IN THE USA. PLEASE. AFTER PAYING $29000. FOR A CAR THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. THIS CAR WAS SITTING STILL WHEN THIS HAPPENED.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING. ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, 70000 MILES WHEN NOTICED. NEVER HAD A VEHICLE DO THIS BEFORE. THE CRACK TODAY IS ON THE DASH AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG

TRANSMISSION DROPS OUT OF GEAR WHEN STARTING UP AND TRANSMISSION IS COLD. THIS IS ESPECIALLY FREQUENT WHEN GOING UP A GRADE NO MATTER HOW SLIGHT. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM IS SO SEVERE THAT IT CHIRPS THE TIRES. BASICALLY THE VEHICLE STOPS UNTIL THE TRANSMISSION RE-ENGAGES. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR AS LONG AS I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS HESITATION IS DANGEROUS AND CAUSES AN ISSUE WITH DURABILITY. THE DEALERSHIP INDICATES THAT THIS ISSUE IS NORMAL OPERATION. HOWEVER, MY SEARCHES ON THE INTERNET SHOW THAT MY COMPLAINT IS NOT ISOLATED. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. THIS STARTED AS A SMALL PROBLEM A YEAR AGO WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY $1600 TO GET IT REPLACED. THE FOUR CRACKS CONTINUE TO GET BIGGER AND NEITHER THE DEALERSHIP NOR MANUFACTURER WILL RECOGNIZE IT FOR ANYTHING MORE THAN COSMETIC DAMAGE I NEED TO FIX EVEN THOUGH I DID NOTHING TO CAUSE THIS DAMAGE.

ALL THREE ARE ON THE PLASTIC DASH WHERE SEAM NEAR FRONT WINDOW PLASTIC AND DASH PLASTIC MEET AND MAKE A SEAM. THE WEATHER HAS BEEN 13 DEGREES AND 14 DEGREES THE PAST TWO MORNINGS DECEMBER 19TH AND 20TH 2016. I DO NOT THINK THIS DEGREES SHOULD MAKE THE PLASTIC DASH CRACK. MY VEHICLE IS A 2013 MODEL WITH 74,961 MILES.

THE DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES WITH FEAR OF IT COLLAPSING. THIS HAPPENED SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT

DASHBOARD CRACKED AND ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS IS DIE TO A PLASTIC DEFECT IN THE CHEVROLET TAHOE AND THAT GMC KNOWS ABOUT IT BUT WO'NT REPAIR IT. MAY HAVE AN IMPACT OF WHETHER THE AIRBAG WILL WORK.

CRACKED DASHBOARD. MY TAHOE IS ALWAYS IN A GARAGE AT WORK AND AT HOME. IT IS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD. DEALERSHIP WILL NOT HELP OR REPLACE. THE CRACK IS CONNECTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. IT LOOKS HORRIBLE.

EXCESSIVE RUSTING AND CORROSION OF FRAME.

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. I AM CONCERNED THE AIRBAG WILL SHRED PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD INTO MY TRUCK CABIN CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE PLASTIC USED FOR THIS DASH IS VERY FLIMSY, THIN, AND CHEAP, YET THE COST TO REPLACE AND REPAIR IS OVER 1,000! RIDICULOUS. AT ALMOST 50,000 DOLLARS NEW, CHEVROLET SHOULD TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS INVESTMENT, AND NHTSA SHOULD ENSURE OUR SAFETY WITH THIS DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. MY 2013 CHEVY TAHOE HAS ONLY 50,000 MILES AND IS GARAGE KEPT. I USE A REFLECTOR IN THE WINDSHIELD DAILY WHEN AT WORK.

DASH BOARD CRACK IN HUMP ABOVE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WE BOUGHT A 2013 CHEVY TAHOE IN JAN 2016 WITH JUST UNDER 30,000 MILES WITH CERTIFIED WARRANTY. MY DASH STARTED CRACKING AT THE DRIVER SIDE AND AT THE PASSENGER FRONT DASH AIRBAG, WE TOOK IT BACK TO FRANKLIN CHEVROLET IN STATESBORO, GA. WELL UNDER 48,000 MILES TO LET THEM KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON, THE SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] TOLD MY HUSBAND THAT THE DASH WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY AND DID NOT ASK TO LOOK AT IT TO SEE IF IT WAS SOMETHING THAT NEEDED TO BE ADDRESSED. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CASES ON THESE ISSUE, I'D LIKE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE IT CRACKS MORE AND THE AIRBAG START HAVING ISSUES SINCE IT'S CRACKING AT THE DASH WHERE THE AIRBAG IS AT, IT'S MAKING NOISES EVERY TIME I DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD AND PRETTY SURE IT'S ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE OVER TIME. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVROLET TAHOE WITH 46,000 MILES AND THE DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER.

THE DASH CRACKED.

SPEEDOMETER AND GEAR SELECT DID NOT OPERATE TODAY. MY WIFE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY WANTED $125 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I TOLD HER TO JUST SOME HOME SINCE THEY GAVE US ATTITUDE AND NO ASSISTANCE. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND FOUND THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TAHOE. THE SOLUTION WAS TO REMOVE THE DIC FUSE UNDER THE HOOD, START THE VEHICLE, TURN VEHICLE OFF AND THEN REINSTALL THE FUSE. WELL THIS WORKED AND IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHEVROLET WHO WON'T ISSUE A RECALL FOR A FAULTY DASH CLUSTER.

I STARTED NOTICING A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD AND NOW I HAVE LARGER GASHES AND ONE VERY CONCERNING NEXT TO AIRBAG IN FRONT OF PASSENGER SIDE.

THE VEHICLE DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES TO INCLUDE THE AREA SURROUNDING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND NEAR THE STEERING COLUMN. IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT, THE DASHBOARD COULD FRAGMENT AND BECOME A HAZARDOUS PROJECTILE.

I WAS ALMOST HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER DUE TO MY SUDDEN STOP. THE SUV IS NOW IN ENGINE POWER REDUCED MODE.
