This page combines three types of NHTSA data: recall campaigns (official manufacturer or government actions), owner complaints (unverified consumer reports), and crash test ratings (where available). A vehicle with many complaints is not necessarily less reliable — complaint volume correlates with sales volume and vehicle age. Recalls indicate identified defects, not overall quality.

Component/System Failure The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) failed to function as designed. Specifically, the driver steering wheel airbag and front passenger airbag did not deploy during a collision involving frontal impact forces. The vehicle is currently retained by the insurance carrier and is available for inspection upon request. Safety Risk The failure of the SRS materially increased the risk of serious bodily injury or fatality to the vehicle occupants. The driver experienced neck pain, persistent headaches, shoulder pain, back pain, weakness, cognitive fog, and a seatbelt-related neck abrasion, consistent with unmitigated crash forces. A minor passenger was present in the vehicle and was also exposed to increased injury risk due to the lack of airbag deployment. Confirmation or Reproduction of the Problem UNKNOWN. The airbag failure has not yet been evaluated by a dealer or independent service center to determine root cause. Inspections Conducted The vehicle will be inspected by insurance representatives in connection with the collision claim. A police report was completed at the time of the accident. The manufacturer has not yet inspected the vehicle or SRS components. Warnings or Prior Symptoms No airbag warning lights, SRS indicators, messages, or fault alerts were present prior to the collision. The vehicle previously underwent a manufacturer safety recall repair related to airbags, completed by an authorized repair facility more than one year before the accident. No post-repair warnings or abnormalities were observed prior to the collision. Additional Safety Concern Despite recall compliance, both front airbags failed to deploy, raising concerns of defective components, improper recall repair, or system malfunction. This failure warrants further investigation to determine whether similar vehicles may present an ongoing safety risk.
I tried to get the fan recall done. I went to Countryside Chevrolet I'm Franklin NC. They refused to do the recall. I just moved out of my house and have no address. I'm here, in Franklin NC. Trying to get the recall completed, and I need to drive to Wyoming, and I do not feel safe doing so until recall is complete. My life is in danger with the possibility of fire. And I am stuck in Franklin NC until it is completed.

P265/65R18 Michelin Tires: I bought the vehicle last Fall and it had these tires. I am not sure when they were purchased, but they seem to be in good condition with plenty of tread left. However, these tires are dangerous in winter conditions. They do not grip on snow and they are absolutely dangerous if there is any ice on the roads. I have driven in Minnesota and North Dakota since I got my driver's license and these tires are probably the most dangerous tires I've ever had. This morning (10/31/2023) we had just a little bit of frozen sleet on the roads from last night and it shouldn't have impacted my driving much, but going over 35mph caused slipping and loss of traction. My 2WD Pontiac sedan has much older, more worn tires and handles ice better than my 4WD Chevrolet Tahoe with these tires. I am emailing you so that you are aware that there is a potential issue with these tires. I have already contacted the manufacturer of these tires.
Cracked dashboard in 3 separate pieces. This is safety concern with the jagged sharp point that could cause severe injury during a crash or everyday driving. Lowers value of very high end vehicle and jeopardizes the safety of the passengers in the vehicle.
Crack in passenger side dashboard at the top left of the airbag panel. It started and has quickly cracked deeper and I am concerned this will affect the safety of my passenger if the vehicle was in an accident.
The dash cracked
Dash is cracking and rattling causing loud noises and movement and distractions when driving. It has been deteriorating slowly over time but it has reached its worse point.
Brake pedal hard to push and stop vehicle when braking, could possibly be defected brake vacuum pump.
Dashboard has cracked in 2 places
I purchased a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe LTZ around July 10th, 2021 from an individual in Georgia. The vehicle has been immaculately maintained with no damages on it at all. I had researched any recalls on the vehicle before I even looked at it. I found that there was one for an airbag problem. Long story short, I purchased the vehicle and the previous owner took it for the recall issue to be repaired before I picked it up. About 2 weeks after I got it, I noticed that the dashboard was vibrating and that was not anything that was happening when I purchased it. I thought it might just be loose. I’m only 5 feet tall so I could not see over the domed instrument panel when driving. It was only when my daughter drove it that she was the one who noticed the very large crack. It’s cracked on both sides with the largest being on the driver’s side. The crack covers the entire dashboard from the windshield to the dome over the instrument panel. I feel that this is a serious safety issue. I have recently discovered that there was a lawsuit against GM asking for these vehicles to be recalled for this problem. Apparently it happens quite a bit!! I called the dealership that repaired the airbag issue but of course they couldn’t or wouldn’t help me. I know these dashboards are expensive to replace..upwards of $2000. I wanted to file a complaint because as I said earlier, this is a safety concern for me. Can you help?
The front dash broad is cracked. I’m scared that it will affect the airbag.

The low beam bulb on both sides of the vehicle keep going out. I have replaced each bulb at least 3 times. There is no moisture in the headlight and I don't see any electrical shorting on the harness. Malfunctioning headlights are a huge safety concern for my family and every other vehicle on the road. Also, my wife has gotten pulled over several times because of this. Almost every Chevy SUV and truck of the same year I see on the road have headlights out as well. Vehicle has not been inspected by the manufacturer. The headlights started failing about two years ago.
