Tahoe

  • 71,000 miles
The dashboard in my 2011 Chevy Tahoe began cracking at approxmately 70K miles. In the event of a crash I'm concerned for my family's safefty as the dashboard continues to crack in a spiderweb fashon. I've contacted my Chevrolet customer service and have been told that my vehicles original 3 year/36,000 mile warranty has expired and I can contact my local dealership to have the defect fixed at my expense. This vehicle was $55K brand new and it is clearly a manufacturer defect for the dashboard to crack after 4 years or any other time and expecting customes to pay over $1000 to correct this issue is unacceptable. This is a defect that should be corrected at no cost to vehicle owners.

Tahoe

  • 40,000 miles
The dashboard of my 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe has cracked in 4 places. The first cracks appeared approximately 18 months after I purchased the SUV. These cracks may have a safety problem as they may affect the air bag operation. The Tahoe has spent most of its' life in a garage when not in use. I tried to glue the first 2 cracks.

problem #74

Oct 102016

Tahoe

  • 78,250 miles
Purchased vehicle used in November 2015. There was a crack in the dashboard adjacent to the passenger side airbag. It currently has not gotten worse. In the last two days a new larger crack seems to be progressing on the hump of dash above the steering wheel. After researching it seems this is a consistent issue with this model for years 2007-2011. My coworker has a 2007 and has suffered with same problems. Another coworker who owns a Toyota received official information telling her that there are issues relating to cracking dashboards and if it is near the airbag the airbag can spontaneously deploy and not to let people sit in the front seat. If this is the same for the Tahoe I am deeply concerned for my safety and others who ride with me. Especially since this vehicle is apart of airbag recall and is waiting to be fixed. The crack was noticed while the vehicle was stationary. Earlier in the week while driving to work I heard a cracking sound but did not see anything obvious at the time.
