2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Body & Structure Problems

Your dashboard is cracking near the passenger-side airbag and around the driver-side instrument cluster. During an accident, pieces of the dashboard could break loose and become projectiles. This appears to be a known issue affecting multiple Chevrolet and GMC models. Fixing this will likely require dashboard replacement or repair of the cracked sections.

THE DASHBOARD CONTINUES TO CRACK AND DETERIORATE IT HAS NOW CRACKED NEAR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY IT HAS HAPPENED OVER TIME

SHORTLY AFTER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK. WITHIN TWO YEARS, IT DEVELOPED THREE SUBSTANTIAL CRACKS WHICH LED TO SHIMMYING OF THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. THE BECAME A CHRONIC AND CONTINUAL PROBLEM.

DASH BOARD HAS CRACKED, ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT, 2011 TAHOE WITH, 60000 MILES.

CRACKING IN DASH DUE TO POOR QUALITY AND BUILD. POSSES POTENTIAL HAZARD SHOULD AIRBAGS DEPLOY. *TR

DASH CRACKING REAL BAD. *TR

DASH BOARD CRACKED. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACK ABOVE STEERING COLUMN AND BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IT CRACKS MORE WITH HEAT/COLD TURNED ON IN VEHICLE.

THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES

CRACKED DASH AND COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED.

DASH CRACKING: I OWN A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ. THE DASH HAS CRACKED TWICE ON THIS VEHICLE. THE 1ST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE 2ND TIME IT OCCURRED THE DASH CRACKED IN TWO PLACES. THIS COST ME MORE THAN $1000. ONCE IT CRACKED IT STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE AS I WENT DOWN THE ROAD. AFTER REVIEWING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME PROBLEM, I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND WHY A RECALL WAS NOT ORDERED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN REGARD TO THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A PROBLEM REPORTED BY THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE PURCHASED A CHEVROLET TAHOE OR SUBURBAN. THESE ARE NOT CHEAP VEHICLES TO PURCHASE BUT ARE OBVIOUSLY MADE WITH CHEAP, DEFECTIVE MATERIALS.

DASHBOARD CRACKS DUE TO POOR QUALITY MATERIAL AND POOR DESIGN. ONCE CRACKED, THE DASHBOARD PRESENTS A SAFETY HAZARD. IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY, THE FORCE OF THE DEPLOYMENT AGAINST THE ALREADY CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD SEND SHARP FRAGMENTS OF THE DASHBOARD INTO PASSENGERS.

DASHBOARD HAS TWO CRACKS. ONE IS ABOUT A INCH LONG AT THE LEFT FRONT CORNER OF PASSENGER'S AIRBAG. ANOTHER RIGHT BEHIND THE STEELING WHEEL ABOUT 4 INCHES LONG. THE DASHBOARD ARE VIBRATING WITH CLICKING NOISE.

I AM VERY CAREFUL AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLES, BUT THIS ONE HAS A CRACK IN THE DASH THAT IS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER. FROM TALKING WITH A FEW PEOPLE THAT OWN THE SAME MODEL THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT FROM GM. I HAVE NOT HIT ANY MAJOR POT HOLES OR APPLIED ANY PRESSURE WHAT SO EVER TO THE DASH. NOW IT'S SO BAD THAT IT RATTLES WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY WITH GM NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ERROR.

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN INSTRUMENT PANEL DASHBOARD, VERY COMMON ISSUE THAT, IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, PIECES THAT ARE BROKEN COULD BECOME AIRBORNE AND CAUSE BODILY HARM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED IN FOUR PLACES. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,403.

AFTER PURCHASING TAHOE FROM USED CAR DEALERSHIP LESS THAN A MONTH. A/C WAS ON DRIVING WHEN I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE DASH. TOOK PICTURES TO SHOW HUSBAND. DRIVING ON TY 40 GOING 40 MPH. CRACK IS A SAFETY ISSUE!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED AND AN ABNORMAL CLICKING NOISE WAS HEARD WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET GULF FREEWAY (13800 GULF FWY, HOUSTON, (281) 305-8940) WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CRACKED DASH - THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN CRACKING HAPPENED INSIDE ON THE DASH. IT HAS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES: (2) ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL AND (2) AT THE AIR BAG. WHEN DRIVING, I NOTICE THERE IS NO SUPPORT IN THE MIDDLE OF DASH, IT BOUNCES AND MAKES THE CRACKS WORSE. I CALLED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET TAHOE AND RESEARCHED ONLINE FOR SAME MAKE AND MODEL ABOUT RECALLS AND THERE HAS YET TO BE A RECALL FOR THE CRACKS IN THE DASH. THERE HAS CERTAINLY BEEN LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, BUT AGAIN NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN. CRACKING AT AIRBAG IS HAZARDOUS, ESPECIALLY IF I WERE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE A RECALL DUE TO THE CRACKS AT THE AIRBAG AND THAT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD.

CRACKED DASHBOARD ABOVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED ON 18 MAY 2018 AND DID NOT NOTICE THE CRACK UNTIL THE NEXT DAY. RESEARCH HAS INDICATED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN DEFECT WITH MANY GM MODELS.

CRACK ON MY DASH EXTENDING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, THIS WAS NOTED ONE MORNING WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND HEARD A RATTLING SOUND IN MY DASH

CHEVROLET ALUMINUM AND CHROME PLATED WHEELS ARE CORRODING IF ALUMINUM OR RUSTING OF CHROME PLATED. IN MY CASE THE ALUMINUM WHEELS ARE CORRODING AROUND THE VALVE STEM HOLES AND I'VE BEEN TOLD BY MECHANICS THAT IF THE CORROSION GETS INTO THE WHEEL TIRE BEAD AREA THEN THEY ARE UNABLE TO PUT REPLACEMENT TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. I AM HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING AIR PRESSURE CONSTANT IN MY WHEELS BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHY. I SUSPECT THE WHEEL CORROSION IS GETTING INSIDE THE WHEELS BECAUSE OF THE AIR PRESSURE ISSUE. THERE ARE LARGE NUMBERS OF CUSTOMERS COMPLAINING ABOUT WHEEL CORROSION IN A GREAT MANY INTERNET FORUMS AND THE REPLACEMENT WHEEL MARKET IS THRIVING FROM ALL THE TRUCKS HAVING TO REPLACE THEIR WHEELS LONG BEFORE THEY SHOULD HAVE TO. I TOOK MY 2011 TAHOE LT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHILE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND CHEVROLET SAID THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ISSUE AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I WAS ALSO TOLD I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T HAVE CHROME WHEELS BECAUSE THEY HAVE FAR MORE ISSUES THAN PEOPLE WITH ALUMINUM WHEELS. SINCE THIS COULD REDUCE TIRE PRESSURES TO UNSAFE LEVELS I BELIEVE THE NHTSA SHOULD RESEARCH THIS ISSUE FOR POSSIBLE RECALLS. I BELIEVE ALL MODELS OF GM TRUCKS FROM AT LEAST 2011 FORWARD HAVE THIS ISSUE.

WE HAVE A CRACK ON THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE AIRBAG. WE HAVE BEEN TRYING FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET GM TO FIX THE CRACK AND THE 1ST OPTION FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WAS TO REFER US TO A MAN THAT COULD FILL IT IN CAN PAINT IT TO MATCH. A 3 YEAR OLD CHILD USING SILLY PUDDY COULD HAVE DONE A BETTER JOB AND THE CRACK WAS STILL THERE. OUR NEXT TRY WAS TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIX IT AND REFERRED US TO A COMPANY DOWN THE STREET TO REPAIR IT. THAT COMPANY WAS A CAR ACCESSORY STORE THAT SAID THEY DIDN'T DO THAT TYPE OF WORK. THEN I EMAILED GM BECAUSE MY RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET REVEALED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL GM MODELS. SO I EMAIL GM, WHO FIRST TOLD ME THAT IT WASN'T ANYTHING THEY COULD DO. AFTER I EXPLAINED I WAS A LOYAL CUSTOMER FOR SOME 30+ YEARS AND WHEN I PURCHASED THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE, WE ALSO BOUGHT A SILVERADO PICKUP AT THE SAME TIME. THEN I WAS REFERRED TO SOMEONE ELSE AND OVER A PERIOD OF 3 WEEKS, I FINALLY GO TO SPEAK WITH A PERSON WHO INSTRUCTED ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND LET THEM GET AN ESTIMATE OF HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST. THEY FIGURED THE COST AT $800.00 AND TOLD US WE HAD TO PAY $500.00 AND THEY WOULD COVER $300.00. I CAN'T SEE WHY WE MUST PAY FOR A DESIGN DEFECT THAT WE COULD NOT HAVE PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING. I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS CAR AND I HAVE DONE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO KEEP IT IN GOOD CONDITION. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER HAVE TO PAY FOR FLAWS IN THE DESIGN OF ANY CAR THAT'S BEING SOLD?

THE DASH BOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS IN IT. WHEN ASKED A DEALER ABOUT IT THEY SAID THIS WAS VERY COMMON FOR CHEVYS. IT'S INTERESTING THAT THIS INFORMATION IS POSTED ALL OVER THE INTERNET, WHY WOULD CHEVROLET COMPROMISE CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. ALSO THE SIDE TRIM IS FALLING OFF

MY FRONT DASH BOARD CRACKED. IT WAS NOT MOVING. NOTHING HAS BEEN SET ON THE DASH. I NOTICED ONE AFTERNOON, THE FRONT CRACKED.

MY DASH IN MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE HAS CRACKED FROM THE PASSENGER AIRBAG TO THE CLUSTER ABOVE STEERING WHEEL. DASH WOULD MAKE A POPPING SOUND WHEN DRIVING,THATS WHEN I NOTICED CRACK

SPONTANEOUS WINDSHIELD CRACK, ORIGINATING FORM PASSENGER SIDE UPPER RIGHT CORNER TO CENTER OF WINDSHIELD; APPROX 8" LONG. CRACK IN DASH PERPENDICULAR TO PASSENGER AIRBAG AREA, APPROX 2" LONG. VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN COVERED GARAGE FOR 72 HOURS, DISCOVERED UPON NEXT USE.

GETTING BASEBALL EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE BACK OF MY VEHICLE, THE POWER LIFTGATE ROSE ALMOST TO THE TOP AND THEN STARTED TO AUTO CLOSE ON MY SON. THE FORCE COULD HAVE KILLED HIM IF SOMEONE WASN'T THERE. I'M A PHYSICALLY FIT MAN AND I HAD DIFFICULTY HOLDING UP THE LIFT GATE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED THROUGH TO THE DRIVER SIDE. THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT EXPOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT NO RECALLS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CRASH. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT CALLED A LOCAL DEALER (PENSKE CHEVROLET 3210 E 96TH ST INDIANAPOLIS IN 46240 317-846-6666) AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. UPDATED 07/18/17*LJ *JS

I PURCHASED MY TAHOE DECEMBER 31ST 2016 AND I NOTICED A FEW WEEKS AGO THAT THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED AND IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING BIGGER.

DASHBOARD RIGHT BY PASSENGER AIRBAG CRACKED. DASH VIBRATES WHEN DRIVING AND I'M WORRIED IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THAT PIECES OF THE DASHBOARD WILL BREAK OFF AND BECOME PROJECTILES IN THE CABIN.

VEHICLE DASH IS CRACKED IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS INCLUDING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE PLATFORM INCLUDING THE GMC YUKON, GMC YUKON XL, GMC SIERRA, CHEVY TAHOE, CHEVY SUBURBAN, AND CHEVY SILVERADO ALL WITHIN THE 2007-2013 MODEL YEARS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS THREADS POSTED ONLINE AS WELL AS SOCIAL GROUPS IN WHICH OWNERS ARE INFORMING THE REST OF THE COMMUNITY OF THEIR SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE MAIN CONCERN IS THAT IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD COULD FRAGMENT AS THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED CAUSING PROJECTILES WITHIN THE VEHICLE CABIN. THE SAFETY CONCERN AS WELL AS MATERIAL DEFECT SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. THERE IS NO EXCUSE AS TO WHY THESE DASHBOARDS ARE CRACKING. *TR

DASHBOARD CRACKING AT PASSENGER AIR BAG AND DRIVER'S SIDE

DASH CRACKING IN 2 SPOTS AND CRACKS KEEP GETTING LONGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD BEGAN TO CRACK. THE DASHBOARD FIRST BEGAN CRACKING ON THE PASSENGER SIDE NEAR THE AIR BAG HOUSING. IT THEN BEGAN TO CRACK DIRECTLY ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

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.

CRACKED DASH

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING - FROM UNKNOWN REASON

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 HAS STARTED CRACKING CAUSING CONCERNS OVER DRIVER AND PASSENGER SAFETY

DASHBOARD CRACKED ON TOP OF MAIN GAUGE DISPLAY.

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.

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.

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.

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.

2011 TAHOE LTZ WITH 70,000 MILES , DASH STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE, FOUND THE DASH CRACKED IN SEVERAL PLACES ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, AFTER INITIAL CRACK, THE DASH VIBRATES AND RATTLES MORE, CAUSING MORE CRACKING.

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 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.

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR TAILGATE LOCKED ON THE CONTACT WHILE HE ATTEMPTED TO REACH INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED AND THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE DASH ON MY TAHOE IS CRACKING. I HAVE DONE A LITTLE RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND IT IS QUITE COMMON, ESPECIALLY AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I FEEL THIS IS DANGEROUS IF THE AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED. I BELIEVE IT WILL SEND PIECES OF THE DASH AT THE OCCUPANTS OF MY VEHICLE. *TR

MY DASHBOARD CRACKED ON MY 2011 TAHOE ABOUT THE TIME MY 36000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED. *TR

THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IN THE UPPER LEFT CORNER FROM THE AIR BAG HAD A CRACK SHOW UP ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A SMOOTH ROADWAY WHEN A LOUD POP OCCURRED AND THE CRACKED APPEARED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THE DASH, DUE TO THE WARRANTY NOT COVERING THE ISSUE. I DO NOT UNDERSTANDING AFTER RESEARCHING WHY CHEVROLET HAS NOT FIXED THIS ISSUE DUE TO SO MANY VEHICLES HAVING THE SAME DEFECT. FOR AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE THAT IT IS, I WOULD EXPECT A BETTER QUALITY OF PRODUCT. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER TAHOE. *TR

INSIDE OF REAR PASSENGER DOOR WAS FULL OF WATER. *TR

DRIVING AND THERE WAS A LOUD POP, THE DASHBOARD ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL CRACKED AND THE DASHBOARD ON PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE AIR BAG CRACKED. *JS

I WAS DRIVING IN CRUISE CONTROL AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY ON A DRY SUNNY DAY. NO WEATHER ISSUES. SUDDENLY, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND VEERED OFF ACROSS THREE LANES OF THE HIGHWAY, ACROSS THE MEDIAN, THROUGH THE GUARDRAIL IN THE MEDIAN AND INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE BRAKES LOCKED UP AND THE CAR CONTINUED AT HIGH SPEED BACK INTO THE MEDIAN, CLIPPING THE GUARDRAIL THREE MORE TIMES. WHEN I GOT MY SENSES BACK, I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND PULLED OUT THE KEY. THE CAR ROLLED TO A STOP IN THE MEDIAN. THE ONLY REASON THERE WERE NO INJURIES, IS THAT THERE WAS LITTLE TRAFFIC ON THIS SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND I DIDN'T HIT ANYONE IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE. IT WAS TERRIFYING TO COMPLETELY LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT TOOK OFF ON ITS OWN AND I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO CONTROL TO STOP IT. I DON'T USE CRUISE CONTROL ANY MORE, HOPING THAT SOLVES THE PROBLEM. I HAD $6,000 OF DAMAGE, BUT I FELT INCREDIBLY LUCKY TO BE ALIVE. *JS

THIS TAHOE HAS 2 CRACKS IN DASH . RIGHT AT THE AIR BAG SPACE & IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY. THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT. THIS TAHOE HAS ONLY 47K MILES ON IT. THIS IS NOT RIGHT FOR GMC TO DO THIS TO THE BUYERS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE DASHBOARD BECAME CRACKED UNEXPECTEDLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS CRACKED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

AFTER EVERY RAIN, THE REAR DOORS FILL WITH WATER. I CLEAR THE DRAIN HOLES REGULARLY BUT AFTER EACH RAIN I STILL NEED TO TAKE OFF THE SEAL AND LET THE WATER DRAIN. IF IT IS A HEAVY RAIN, THE DOORS TAKE OVER 15 MINUTES TO DRAIN BECAUSE THEY ARE COMPLETELY FULL. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DO THIS AFTER EVERY RAIN. I AM CONCERNED THAT RUST WILL FORM AND THAT THERE WILL BE ELECTRICAL ISSUES. IF I AM NOT HOME FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER IT RAINS AND THE TRUCK IS SITTING, THIS MEANS THE WATER IS SITTING IN THERE. AT NIGHT, IF THE TEMPERATURE DROPS BELOW FREEZING, THIS WATER WILL FREEZE IN THE DOORS. THIS NEVER HAPPENED IN MY 2002 TAHOE. *TR

PURCHASED VEHICLE, AND TWO WEEKS LATER DROVE IT TO THE WASHINGTON COAST FROM BOISE, IDAHO (APPROXIMATELY 630 MILES). WHILE THERE THE BACK DRIVERSIDE REAR SEAT DOOR WORKED FINE. THEN ON THE FOURTH DAY, WE RETURNED FROM AN OUTING, AND IT WAS OKAY. WENT OUT LATER TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE CAR AND THE LEFT REAR DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. EXTERNAL HANDLE COME OUT ABOUT AN INCH AND STAYED OUT (LIKE NO SPRING CONNECTED). DOOR WAS UNLOCKED (BUTTON UP). TRIED THE INSIDE HANDLE AND IT WOULD NOT OPEN THE DOOR EITHER. JUST SWUNG OUT AS NORMAL, BUT DIDN'T OPEN DOOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY WE RETURNED TO BOISE, AND DOOR WAS INOPERATIVE WHOLE WAY HOME. THE FOLLOWING MORNING WE WENT OUT TO UNLOAD SOME MORE THINGS. AND THE DOOR WORKED. I AM TAKING IT INTO THE DEALER WHO SAYS THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THIS WITH OTHER TAHOES. CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY FACTOR. IF WE WERE TO HAVE A PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND BE IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE DOOR DIDN'T OPEN, IT COULD BE A FACTOR TO SURVIVAL. ADDITIONALLY, IN THE EVENT OF A WATER ENTRY, SINCE THE REAR WINDOWS ONLY ROLL DOWN HALF-WAY, ESCAPE IS NECESSARY THROUGH THE DOOR. IN THIS CASE, AN INOPERATIVE DOOR COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. *KB
