The EPA estimates 14MPG around town, but you'd be lucky to break double digits if you like A/C or have any hills in your town.

Dash has split into the passenger airbag container and now into the cowling that covers the instrument panel. This has all happened since 10-3-2015 with less than 80000 miles on car that is garaged and dash protected from sun when out of garage. Splits occurred overnight in both cases when car was parked and weather was not extreme; got in car in a.M. and discovered split #1 (image 1)and same with split #2 (image 2) on 11-16-16 that has now forked (image 3) in the past month. I have never used armor all on the dash. It has never sat out in inclement weather.
My door handles on the inside of my vehicle arr chrome. The chrome materil has started to peel away and has caused me deep cuts on the sides of my fingers after opening the door.
This week the temperature fluctuated drastically. My Tahoe was in the garage for 2 solid days. I pulled it out the next two days and drove to work like any normal day but the temperatures were cold in the mornings and warmed up through the day. Today we pulled the Tahoe out of the garage, got in to go to church and noticed that the dash had cracked in the upper corner of the airbag compartment towards the air vent. I am very concerned that should I be in an accident and the airbag deploy, that shards of plastic would break and be impelled through the vehicle possible harming my family.
I currently own a 2012 Tahoe that the dashboard has cracked over the drivers area and cracked in two place on the passenger airbag causing a serious safety issue should the airbag deploy it could seriously injure someone or kill them
Dashboard has cracked in two places, under its own weight. Rattles excessively, GM refuses to do anything about it. It has been cracked since 2014 and has just started to rattle.
My Tahoe has dash cracks from poorly constructed dash risking dash collapse and cracks at the airbag with risk of flying debris upon release of airbag resulting in injuring occupants. Chevrolet not interested in replacing. Purchased the vehicle like this at 75000 miles and discovered this is a very common issue in all the Chevrolet and GM vehicles from years 2007-2014.
My dash board began to crack in several places. When I contacted the dealership they said there was a recall for that but it only went to year models up to 2011
The dashboard has started cracking and it is at dealer now and they are telling me this is only one they ever heard of and they can do nothing about but it is a certified vehicle that I've only put 20 some thousand miles on and it was sold to me with full warranty as a new one and after looking on several websites it seems that a lot of others have this problem, afraid if it keeps cracking it may get right into my instruments and electrical or worse continue into my airbag, surely there is something can be done about this and the distraction from the dashboard flopping up and down can lead to an accident, it only takes a moment for something bad to happen. Please if you are able to influence a decision about this, do so it could mean the difference in a life maybe
My dash is cracked right by airbag like other 1000's of GM trucks years 07-14. I have 75,000 miles on my Tahoe currently and the crack appeared at 70,000 miles. This is a known problem, I belong to a group on facebook called 07-13 GM cracked dash and safety hazard and everyday there's new people who join the group with their cracked dashes most of them in the exact same spot right by the airbag and others have where the entire dash has cracked and most seem to happen between 60,000 and 75,000 miles. This hazard could be devastating if an accident was to happen. My Tahoe is in great condition GM needs to recall this hazard.
After 5 years of garage kept vehicle, purchased a new car to be kept in garage, only 2 days of having this SUV outside the dash cracks, very disappointed on GM customer service I have 6 yr 100000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. I worry about where the crack is right by the passenger in dash airbag
