2012 Chevrolet Tahoe Body & Structure Problems

Your dashboard has developed cracks that have gotten worse over time and rattle while driving. Your driver's door pull has broken in multiple places and has pinched your hand. The dealer says this is a known issue but wants to replace the entire door panel and dashboard at your expense. Your transmission also failed at 81,000 miles. Fixing these issues will likely require replacing the dashboard panel, door panel, and possibly the door pull handle.

Your front air conditioning intermittently stops working while the rear AC continues to function normally. Your oil pressure warning light keeps indicating low oil even after you've had an oil change performed. Additionally, your tire pressure monitoring system for the parking tire fluctuates between 40% and 30% without explanation. These issues may require inspection of the AC blend door or front compressor, verification of oil pressure sensor accuracy, and checking the tire pressure sensor or tire condition.

DASH CRACK.AS I WAS CLEANING THE VEHICLE I NOTICED THAT A CRACK HAD FORMED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ABOVE THE AIRBAG

MY DASH BOARD IS CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS, ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG. I AM CONCERNED THAT IT WILL CAUSE INJURY IF THE AIR BAG IS INFLATED. THE VEHICLE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND HAS BEEN IN NO ACCIDENTS. THE DASHBOARD MATERIAL IS DEFECTIVE AND HAS FAILED.

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN DASHBOARD ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND WE HAVE FOUND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH OUR MODEL. WE FEEL THAT IN A COLLISION THE DASH COULD SPLINTER AND SHARP EDGES COULD CAUSE INJURIES TO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS. THE MANUFACTURER BELIEVES THIS WOULD NOT HAPPEN. HOWEVER, HOW CAN THEY ACCOUNT FOR AN INFINITE NUMBER OF VARIABLES IN AN ACCIDENT? WE WERE OFFERED A DISCOUNT FOR A REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP, YET THE AMOUNT WAS STILL NEAR $600. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WE SHOULDN'T INCUR ANY COSTS!

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.

Your dashboard has cracks in multiple locations. This issue was present when you purchased the vehicle from the dealer. While this doesn't affect how your car drives, it's a cosmetic concern that may worsen over time. Fixing this typically requires replacing the dashboard panel.

Your dashboard has developed cracks in multiple locations. This is primarily a cosmetic issue that doesn't affect your vehicle's operation, but it may worsen over time with temperature changes and sun exposure. Repair typically involves replacing the dashboard panel or having it professionally reupholstered.

Your dashboard has developed two cracks — one near the passenger-side airbag area and another near the steering column — without any obvious impact or accident. This happened at 162,000 miles, and your dealer said there's no recall available for this issue. The cracks are cosmetic but may indicate a structural weakness in the dashboard material.
