This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My dash has cracked without any force being applied to it due to cheap material used in manufacturing item. It is a safety issue which may cause parts of dash to propel to driver and passenger causing injuries.
I have done everything in my power, knowledge and experience to address the issue of my cracked dashboard/pad. I have reached out to dozens upon dozens of other Tahoe/Yukon owners who have experienced the exact same issue and have reached out to GM for further assistance to only have been turned away.
Dash board cracks on the passages side beside the airbag cover. Also cracks on the driver side from near the windshield running toward the odometer area. Cracks appeared over time that I owned the vehicle.
While at a stop light or stop sign, while engine is on, at a complete stop while the vehicle accelerates the gas the vehicle completely conks out. The vehicle cannot catch speed after it comes to a stop. I am stuck in the middle of traffic at the light or at the stop sign. Check engine light is on.
Dash cracked in two places, driver and passenger side. Concerned more about passenger side due to air bag. The vehicle is not my everyday vehicle with very low mileage and kept inside its whole life in an well insulated fully covered garage.
When traveling above 30 mph then decelerating, once the car gets to around 15-20 mph it jumps forward. It's similar to when you drive a stickshift and take your foot off the clutch and the car jumps forward as if it might stall. It doesn't happen regularly. If I decelerate very quickly, then it does not do it. If I decelerate slowly then it does not do it. It has to be somewhere in between and the car is confused between staying in gas mode or switching to hybrid mode and auto stop. The car then jumps forward when confused.
It started with some lights on the dashboard then the brakes smoking. When driving it the brakes seems unsafe took it to a mechanic said it's the steering angle sensor. They called several placeses included the dealership and GM does not make that part anymore for the year and model. Said it could be ordered online they tried it but it's not the same part needed. The mechanic said it's not recommended to drive that's it's very unsafe to do so.we have decided to park it and not use it for safety issues.
Tahoe middle seat belt buckles have all come apart. I contacted local Chevy dealer and they said it's not safe to drive uh no sh?! once again cracks on dashboard by passenger airbags and all over ridiculous! middle console started to smoke on 4/2018 and I have to have everything disconnected. I contacted dealer and they said to file complaints with Y'all.
I have been the only owner of my 2008 Chevy Tahoe, my dash has cracked twice and replaced, now my dash is cracked again. This is obviously an issue with this specific vehicle as I am among thousands that are having the exact same issue. I do not have warranty any longer and neither GM nor the dealership will fix this issue for free. This is wrong and not a good way to conduct business if GM is expecting those same people to purchase another vehicle for them as they obviously do not stand behind their product. A cracked dash is not a wear and tear issue and simply should not happen. It shows the vehicle was made with the cheapest of products. It is also something that could potentially be a safety hazard as the dash sits over air bags, so if an accident shall occur and the air bags deploy could cause more harm to the drivers. I am appalled that no one will fix this issue since it has happened multiple times. I am very upset at the customer service by dealerships and GM altogether.
I bought the car a year a go, I started to notice some cracks ok the top dashboard, by the instrument cluster, I big crack by the top air bag system. The cracks are getting bigger, im afraid this is not safe in case of traffic accident.
The dash is cracked above the drivers instrument panel and looks as if it is separating along the seam down to the passenger airbag. There is also a crack at the passenger side airbag. Very concerned about unnecessary airbag deployment. I am uncertain of the exact date so I put when I noticed it in the date line.
We own two Chevy Tahoe's and both of them (2008 & 2012) have cracking dashboards. I am concerned with the safety of the airbags. There are many complaints online regarding this issue and is a hazards to drivers and passengers.
Takata recall battery drainage with tested good battery & good alternator. Issues unknown but car had to be jumped 3 times in one week. Nothing was left on or plugged in. Shop couldn't find problem. One example is went to get gas & after fill, car wouldn't turn on.
The dash has severely cracked in numerous places including near the passenger air bag which I fear could create shrapnel if involved in a collision and the airbag inflates. This has gradually worsened over time.
