2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Complaint Log

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.

'SERVICE AIRBAG' MESSAGE APPEARED ON MY DASHBOARD SCREEN. POSSIBLY CONNECTED TO NUMEROUS CRACKS ON PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE. VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 90K MILES. CRACKS APPEARED WHEN IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 40K MILES. DEALER SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED AT THAT TIME.

RECENTLY PURCHASED A USED TAHOE FROM DEALERSHIP WITH WARRANTY.WHILE DRIVING IN SNOW MAKING A RIGHT TURN THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON, TRACTION CONTROL, AND ABS. THE VEHICLE FISHTALED, ENGINE LOST RESPONSE. THE ABS AND STABILITRAC WARNINGS CONTINUE FOR A SHORT TIME AND WENT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY. SECOND INSTANCE IN THE RAIN, ON THE HIGHWAY. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE FAST LANE, WANTED TO MOVE OVER FOR A FAST MOVING VEHICLE BEHIND ME. AS I WAS CHANGING LANES THE STABILITRAC LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, THIS TIME PULSING THE A B S BREAKS. I HAD TO STEER HARDER TO THE RIGHT, TO GET OUT OF THE WAY. THE THROTTLE RESPONSE WAS LOW AS WELL. THE TAHOE IS CONSUMING HUGE AMOUNTS OF GAS. ABOUT 13MILES PER GALLON. DRAGS UP HILL. SEEMS LIKE IT HARD TO SHIFT INTO HIGHER GEARS. RETURN TO DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE. DEALER CLEANED THROTTLE BODY, REPLACED MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR. RETURNED IT TO ME, I TOLD THE DEALER TO DRIVE IT,BEFORE I ACCEPTED IT BACK. THREE CODES POPPED UP. BACK TO CHEVY FOR DIAGNOSIS. YAW SENSOR NOT COMMUNICATING, ETC. I TOLD THE DEALER I FEEL THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE. I GAVE THEM A LIST OF CODES OFF MY CODE READER. IT DOESN'T SEEM THEY ARE TAKING IT INTO CONSIDERATION. WE HAVEN'T HAD THE VEHICLE A MONTH. THE DEALER IS PROVIDING A RENTAL. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE TAHOE AND OTHER CHEVY VEHICLES. THE DEALER ALSO TOLD ME I HAD TO RECREATE THE PROBLEM AND/OR HAVE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR WARRENTY. THE STABILITRAC LIGHTS COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR. THEY ARE HOWEVER TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE ISSUES. I FEEL LIKE THEY SOLD ME A CAR WITH KNOWN ISSUES.

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.

THE DASH IS CRACKING IN MULTIPLE AREAS AND IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. WHILE DRIVING THE DASH IS BOUNCING APPROXIMATELY 1-2 INCHES AND WORRIES ME THAT IT WOULD SEND PIECES OF PLASTIC FLYING IF EVER INVOLVED IN A TRAFFIC ACCIDENT.

DASH CRACKED , COULD SEND PIECES INTO FACE IN A CRASH .

I HAVE TWO CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT NEAR THE AIRBAG AND ONE IN ONE THE DRIVERS SIDE. I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINANTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT PUZZLES ME WHY CHEVY WOULD NOT DO A RECALL. MY 2011 IS VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF SO IT IS NOT NEGLECT ON MY PART.

STARTED MY TAHOE TO DRIVE HOME AND I'M GOING 70 MPH DOWN A HIGHWAY WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY ENGINE LIGHT POPS ON AND SAYS ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED PLUS IT SAYS SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL AND SERVICE STABILITRAK. I WENT FROM 70 MPH TO 20 MPH IN LESS THAN 5 SECONDS AND NOW MY TAHOE IS SPUTTERING AND HAS NO POWER. THE WHOLE VEHICLE IS VIBRATING. I'VE SHUT OFF THE VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES AND I CAN'T GET THE ERROR TO GO AWAY. SITTING AT AN IDLE MY RPMS FLUCTUATE CONSISTENTLY. UNKNOWN BUT I HAVE A FEELING THAT THE THROTTLE BODY IS GOING OUT ON THE ENGINE, IT WOULD BE THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF THAT WOULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO DROP SPEED AND SPUTTER LIKE THIS NON STOP.

MY 2011 CHEVY TAHOE WAS IN MOTION ON A TOWN ROAD WHEN SEVERAL ALERTS CAME UP ON THE DASHBOARD INCLUDING SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, SERVICE STABILINK AND REDUCED ENGINE POWER. THE LOCAL DEALER USED A SCAN TOOL AND FOUND DTC # P2135 - THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. GM HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN #11273A THAT AUTHORIZES FULL REPLACEMENT OF THE SENSOR AT NO COST TO THE CUSTOMER FOR AFFECTED VEHICLES. AFFECTED VEHICLES INCLUDE 2008 - 2011 CHEVY TAHOE'S. BUT GM SAYS MY VIN ON 2011 TAHOE IS NOT COVERED. THIS IS CLEARLY A MAJOR PART DEFECT FOR THAT SPANS MULTIPLE DECADES AND MULTIPLE GM VEHICLES THAT CAN RESULT IN THE VERY UNSAFE AND UNEXPECTED LOSS OR REDUCTION IN ENGINE POWER. CLEARLY THIS PART DEFECT IS AFFECTING MORE VEHICLES THAN JUST THOSE SELECTIVELY COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN. A CALL TO GM SERVICE RESULTED AS EXPECTED AND THEY WERE UNWILLING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE WITH THE TPS IS MORE PERVASIVE THAN THEY HAVE CLAIMED. THEY REFUSED TO COVER THE COST OF MY REPAIR DESPITE THE FACT THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECTIVE PART.

DASH BOARD CRACKED BY PASSENGER AIR BAG POSSIBLY COMPROMISING SAFETY. FEARFUL THAT AIR BAG STABILITY HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.

'TAKATA RECALL'

DASH HAS TWO CRACKS RIGHT ABOVE THE DRIVER'S STEERING SECTION NEAR THE MIDDLE. IT SHAKES WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSES A TREMENDOUS DISTRACTION DUE TO THE WAY IT FLAPS. THIS IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE WINDSHIELD DURING NORMAL DRIVING ON INTERSTATES AND NORMAL STATE ROADS. THE MOVEMENT IS MOST NOTICEABLE AT SPEEDS ABOVE 35 MPH. I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED OUT, TIRES ALIGNED AND BALANCED, IT DOES NOT HELP. THIS IS A DANGEREOUS DISTRACTION AND A DASH SHOULD NOT BE CRACKING THIS QUICKLY, THIS IS A WIDE PROBLEM ACROSS MANY GM TRUCKS AND SUVS.

TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT WHEN PULLING OUT IT WON'T GO AND STARTS JUMPING IN AND OUT OF GEAR AND THEN SHIFTS REALLY HARD AND GOES IT'S ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET HIT BY ONCOMING CARS SEVERAL TIMES AND IT'S WORSE ON A HILL JUMPING IN AND OUT BUT DOES FINE RUNNING UP AND DOWN THE HIGHWAY

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.

IGNITION LOCK ACTUATOR BIND MAKING TURNING THE KEY DIFFICULT AND CAUSING THE IGNITION TO GET STUCK IN THE START POSITION EVEN WHEN TURNING THE CAR OFF.

DASH IS CRACKED IN TOW SEPERATE AREAS. ONE ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL, AND ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS CAUSES A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, IN THAT IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED, FLYING DEBRIS COULD HARM MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THIS CRACKS HAPPENED FOR NO APPARENT REASON, OTHER THAN BEING CHEAPLY MADE AND INSTALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NOT TOUCHED WHEN THESE CRACKS OCCURRED.

I HAVE A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE LT AND IT HAS TWO CRACKS ON THE DASH. ONE ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND THE OTHER ABOVE THE ODOMETER. AS I SEARCH THE WEBSITE I AM SEEING MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE, ESPECIALLY WITH THE GMC YUKON, CHEVROLET TAHOE, AVALANCHE AND SUBURBAN

MY VEHICLE HAS A CRACKED DASH DIRECTLY ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND OVER TO THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HEARD A "POP" WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON HWY 41 IN KENNESAW, GA AND SPOTTED THE CRACK AFTER STOPPING TO INVESTIGATE.

A AIRBAG RECALL ISSUED MAY 27, 2016 AND RECORDS SHOW THERE IS STILL NOT A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL

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.

MY DASH CRACKED OUT OF THE BLUE ONE DAY ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. IT STARTED OUT AS TWO SMALL CRACKS ON EACH SIDE OF THE TOP CENTER VENT BY THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE THE 2011 CHEVY TAHOE LTZ VERSION WITH A SPEAKER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. THE SPEAKER DOESN'T APPEAR TO HAVE ANY SUPPORT FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE SPEAKER AND THE DASH CRACKS HAVE NOW GROWN TOWARDS THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ALSO BY THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. THE CRACKS ARE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE CENTER SPEAKER AND NOW THE SPEAKER JUST CONSTANTLY FLOPS UP AND DOWN WITH NORMAL DRIVING. THE FLOPPING SPEAKER WITH NO (SUPPORT) IS CAUSING THE CRACK TO GET WORSE AND WORSE. THE CRACKS ARE SPIDER WEBBING NOW AND GETTING MUCH LONGER EVERYDAY I DRIVE IT TO WORK. WHILE RESEARCHING WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS ISSUE I DISCOVERED THAT SEVERAL THOUSAND COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE ABOUT MULTIPLE GM MODEL VEHICLES HAVING CRACKED DASH BOARDS BETWEEN THE YEARS OF 2007 AND 2014. THE DASH COVER OPTION BEING SUGGESTED TO HIDE THE CRACKS IS IN NO WAY A SAFE AND RELIABLE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT INTERFERES WITH THE MANUFACTURERS AIRBAG SAFETY DESIGN AND AND SPECIFIED ASSURED CLEARANCE FOR DEPLOYMENT. THE COVERS DO NOT ADHERE TO THE RATED SPECIFICATION OF THE AIR BAG. ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WORKED IN A PLANT WHERE THE AIR BAGS ARE MANUFACTURED KNOWS HOW PRECISE AND SPECIFIC THESE STRICT GUIDELINES AND SPECIFICATIONS ARE HELD TO.

TAKATA RECALL- MY SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT RECENTLY CAME ON SHORTLY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST TWO SUMMERS. THE FIRST TIME THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY PREFORMED A AIRBAG SCAN. I WAS TOLD NO CODES WERE PRESENT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS THEN RESET AND I HAVEN'T HAD ANY ISSUES UNTIL RECENTLY. I HAVE READ ABOUT THE KNOWN POTENTIALLY DEADLY ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEFLATORS. I LIVE IN HOUSTON TX WHERE THE SUMMERS HOT AND HUMID. I HAVE READ THAT THESE AREAS ARE AT GREATER RISK DUE TO ISSUES ARISING IN HOT AND HUMID CLIMATES. I PLAN ON BRINGING MY CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SOON. I'M SURE I WILL BE TOLD THAT SINCE THE RECALL IS PENDING I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THE REPAIRS. I'M A FATHER OF TWO... DOES TAKATA WANT FAMILIES TO ROLE THE DICE WITH LOVED ONES LIVES WHILE PAPERWORK IS FILED OR PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE??? HOW MANY LIVES HAVE TO BE LOST BEFORE THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS RECALL?

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIR WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE DEALER (STINGRAY CHEVROLET, 2002 N FRONTAGE RD, PLANT CITY, FL 33563, 813-359-5000) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ALSO CONFIRMED THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL, AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT NOW ON. RECALL OPEN SINCE 2016, NEED TO KNOW WHY ITS TAKING SO LONG TO COMPLETE RECALL. WONDER IF MY AIR BAG SRVICE LIGHT ACTIVATION IS RELATED TO RECALL ISSUES AND IF SAFE TO DRIVE? GM DALERS OFFERING NO ASSITANCE IN MATTER, ONLY SUGGEST A $135 DIAGNOSTICE EVALUATION.

CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD - DRIVERS SIDE. PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS DISTORTED

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.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS (35 PLUS TIMES IN PAST 2 MONTHS) I HAVE EXPERIENCED A TERRIFYING COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER TO EVERY ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED COMPONENT OF MY VEHICLE. FOR 3 TO 5 SECONDS I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING, TRACTION CONTROL OR HEADLIGHTS. MY DASHBOARD DISPLAY GOES BLANK, ALL RADIO AND AC DISPLAY GOES OFF AS WELL AS THEIR FUNCTIONS, MY DOOR LOCKS REPEATIDLY LOCK AND UNLOCK AND MY ACCELERATION STALLS OUT. AFTER THE POWER INTERRUPTION ALL MY DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHTS (ABS/ AIRBAGS/ STABILITRACK/ TRACTION CONTROL/ CHECK ENGINE) FLASH ON AND OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN THEY ALL STOP FLASHING THE TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITRACK WARNING LIGHTS REMAIN GLOWING. ON 1 OCCASION WHILE DRIVING 75 MILES AN HOUR IN THE RAIN ON A TOLL ROAD WITH MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE I EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION ONLY POWER DID NOT RETURN FOR 6 TO 8 MINUTES LEAVING ME TO WRESTLE MY ROLLING VEHICLE ACROSS 3 BUSY LANES OF 75 MPH TRAFFIC TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT POWER STEERING. I HAD TO SIT THERE WITH MY CHILD AS TRAFFIC FLEW BY UNTIL POWER RETURNED AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED WE WERE GONNA BE HIT BUT WE WERE ON AN ELEVATED SECTION OF THE ROADWAY SO THE CONCRETE BARRIER PREVENTED US FROM GETTING OUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WHILE CONTACT FAST MOVING TRAFFIC MADE EXITING THE DRIVER SIDE IMPOSSIBLE AS WELL. THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED IN EVERY TYPE OF DRIVING SCENARIO OR CONDITION. RANDOMLY OCCURRING WHILE TURNING, ACCELERATING, DRIVING ON AN INCLINE, BRAKING, HITTING BUMPS WITH NO CONSISTENT FACTOR BEING PRESENT. THE DATE BELOW INDICATES THE ONSET OF THESE REPEAT OCCURRENCES

I BOUGHT MY 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO (USED, BUT IN GREAT CONDITION) - WITHIN A MONTH MY DASH HAD CRACKED. NOTHING THAT I DID AT ALL! MY NORMAL DRIVING EVERYDAY KEEPS ME WITH 20-30 MILES MAXIMUM, ON VERY WELL MADE ROADS (NOTHING EXTREME). I PAID TO GET IT FIXED (THE FIRST TIME) AND NOW 4 YEARS LATER AND IT HAS CRACKED AGAIN. AFTER THE FIRST TIME I PAID TO GET IT FIXED, THEY ACTUALLY DIDN'T INSTALL THE DASH CORRECTLY AND THEN SAID THAT IT WAS MY FAULT THAT IT WAS MESSED UP AND DEMANDED THAT I PAY FOR IT. I REFUSED AND SAID THAT I WAS DONE WITH IT. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IT'S RIGHT ABOVE MY AIRBAGS, AND LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 4 YEARS THAT MY DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED.

THE DASH ON MY 2011 IS CRACKING. IT STARTED OUT WITH A LITTLE CRACK AND IS SPREADING ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL.

CRACKS IN THE DASH BOARD. ONE NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE OTHER AT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG.

The contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH, the "suspension service" warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle no longer felt stable. The contact drove the vehicle to her residence. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 11V007000 (Suspension). The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.

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.

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY AFTER 30 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE WOULD HAVE POWER ISSUES CAUSING ERRATIC BEHAVIOR. EXAMPLE, WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70MPH THE ISSUES WOULD HAPPEN WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES OR TURNING ON A BLINKER, THE VEHICLE'S DOOR LOOKS CYCLED SEVERAL TIMES, IT WOULD CREATE A STARTLING POP IMMEDIATELY THROUGH THE SPEAKERS, THE RADIO CUT OFF AND RESTARTED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF INTERSTATE, THE ENGINE THEN STARTED TO STUTTER LOOSING POWER. STABILITRACK AND ABS LIGHTS CAME ON. AFTER SAFELY PULLED OVER, CUT VEHICLE OFF. RESTARTED VEHICLE, NO ISSUES OR POWER PROBLEMS. PROBLEM WOULD THEN RANDOMLY HAPPEN. RANDOM NO POWER ISSUES - LIKE BATTERY WAS DISCONNECTED. TESTED BATTER - IT WAS OK. PROBLEM BECAME SPORADIC AND RANDOM. DTC SHOWED RANDOM ISSUES WITH ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE (C0710 -STEERING POSITION SENSOR), PARK ASSIST MODULE (U0073, B1325 - DEVICE POWER 1 CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION) AND PASSENGER PRESENCE SYSTEM (B1000- ECU MALFUNCTION) IDENTIFIED GROUNDS TO BE VERY BAD CONDITION AT BATTERY NEGATIVE TO ENGINE AND FRAME, AND DRIVER SIDE UNDER BODY GROUND AT THE FRAME.

DASH AROUND AIRBAGS AND STEERING COLUMN IS CRACKED. NOTICED ONE ABOUT A YEAR AGO BUT IT HAS GROWN MUCH BIGGER AND NOW A BIGGER CRACK IS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE (NOTICED TODAY). CONCERNED IF IN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY THE CRACKED DASH WILL SPLINTER INTO FLYING PLASTIC SHARDS. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THIS GENERATION OF CHEVY TAHOE. HAVE OWNED VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW.

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.

DASH BOARD CRACKING IN TWO PLACES- BY PASSENGER AIRBAG AND ON DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE ODOMETER. THE CRACKS ARE PROGRESSING TO LARGER CRACKS AND CAN BE OF SAFETY ISSUE.

THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK ALONG THE AIRBAG DOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF THE AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLORE THE CRACK IS COMPLETE ACROSS THE NARROW DASH. IN AN ACCIDENT THE AIR BAG MAY OR MAY NOT OPERATE PROPERLY CONSIDER THIS TO BE A HIGHLY UNSAFE CONDITION REQUIRING PROPER REPAIR. VEHICLE HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN GARAGE UNLESS TRAVELING THEREFORE FEEL THIS A FACTORY DEFECT THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

DASHBOARD IS CRACKING

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, OUR CAR IS ON THEIR LIST BUT THEY ARE NOT RELEASING THE MONEY TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG AT THIS TIME, DESPITE THE DANGER IT POSES MY FAMILY

I JUST BOUGHT MY USED 2011 CHEVY TAHOE. AFTER I DROVE IT HOME I NOTICED THAT THE DASHBOARD UNDER THE WINDSHIELD KEEPS JUMPING BAD DUE TO 2 CRACKS. MY CONCERN IS THAT IT MAY CAUSE THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THE DEARSHIP SAYS I BOUGHT IT AS-IS AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED BEFORE SALE.

TAKATA RECALL MY LOCAL DEALER SAYS CHEVY HAS NOT PROVIDED THE DEALERS WITH REPLACEMENT PARTS

NEXEN TIRE'S SEPARATION. I PURCHASED A SET OF (4) NEXEN TIRES. TO DATE 3 OF THE 4 HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO TREAD SEPARATION. NEXEN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE FIRST (2) EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE ALMOST BRAND NEW. LAST WEEK, A 3RD TIRE WENT BAD. I HAD TO PAY FOR A NEW TIRE, BUT KEPT THE DEFECTIVE TIRE IN MY POSSESSION. I'M CONCERNED THAT THE 4TH REMAINING TIRE WILL BLOW-OUT AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. WILL NO LONGER LET MY WIFE DRIVE MY TRUCK.

THE DASHBOARD HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK NEXT TO THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COVER. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT FOR THIS TYPE OF GM VEHICLE. HOWEVER, GM REFUSES TO INSTATE A RECALL TO ADDRESS IT'S CUSTOMER'S CONCERNS. WITH THE PLASTIC OF THE DASHBOARD COMPROMISED, A DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG COULD SEND FRAGMENTS OF PLASTIC INTO THE CABIN.

DASHBOARD HAS 2 CRACKS. ONE BY THE PASSENGERS AIRBAG AND THE OTHER OVER THE DRIVERS INSTRUMENT PANEL. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN STORED IN A GARAGE. I WROTE A LETTER TO GM AND THE WILL NOT TAKE ANY ACTION OR HELP WITH REPLACEMENT.

2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE LTZ - THE DASH HAS CRACKED IN MULTIPLE PLACES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE. INCLUDING NEAR BOTH AIRBAGS. IT NOT ONLY MAKES FOR AN EXTREMELY NOISY AND ANNOYING RIDE, IT ALSO POSES A SAFETY CONCERN IF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS AND PARTS OF THE DASH ARE THROWN IN THE DIRECTION OF PASSENGERS INSIDE THE VEHICLE.

2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE CRACKING DASHBOARD. CRACKS (3) APPEARED OVER THE COURSE OF 12 MONTHS (SPRING OF 2018 START). FIRST OCCURRED BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, SECOND OVER THE DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER (CENTER), THIRD CRACK RECENTLY OCCURRED LOWER LEFT OF DRIVER SIDE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN CRACKS OCCURRED (HIGHWAY AND CITY DRIVING). VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS OR ABUSE. THE CRACKING DASHBOARD MAY BE THE RESULT OF A POOR ENGINEERING AND/OR MATERIAL COMPOSITION DESIGN THAT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY SUPPORT/SECURE THE DASHBOARD AND SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS THAT ALLOWS FOR VIBRATION (CRACKING FAILURES). CRACKED DASHBOARD COMPONENTS MAY CAUSE INJURY AND IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE FOR DRIVER AND PASSENGERS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE. *TT *TR

TAKATA RECALL. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THE COMPANY THAT MADE THE AIRBAG FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY. I ASK ABOUT REPLACING THE AIRBAG AND SHE SAID THEY DON'T HAVE ANY THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER MORE AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN MORE CAME IN. THAT IS THE SAME THING THEY TOLD ME TWO YEARS AGO. I NOW HAVE A AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT AND TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER. SHE TOLD ME THE SAME THING ALL OVER AGAIN.

FACTORY WHEELS ARE HAVE BEEN DETERIORATING HEAVILY. GM OFFERED AN OPTION PACKAGE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR FOR 22" CHROME WHEELS, SPECIFICALLY CHROME 5409 WHEELS. THE CHROME PLATING HAS BEEN AGGRESSIVELY SEPARATING AND PEALING FROM THE INTERIOR OF THE WHEELS AND MOST RECENTLY 1 OF MY WHEELS ROTTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLES AND THIS PROBLEM WAS UNAVAILABLE AND CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING QUALITY DEFECT. I AM NOW FORCED TO CONSIDER ABSORBING THE EXORBITANT COST OF REPLACING ALL 4 WHEELS TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.
