CarComplaints.com Notes: This might be the Tahoe sweet spot. The 2013 has a great safety rating (as long as you don't roll it over), tons of room and few complaints. What it doesn't have is the interior accessory problems of the older or newer generations.

The dashboard has cracked in 2 different location most importantly around the frame of the passengers side airbag. Online over 15,000 complaints filed, no help from GMC. The transmission goes out while driving on the interstate had it replaced at $2900, and the problem still exist.
I own a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe lt. I take good care of my vehicle. Last week, I noticed multiple cracks in my dashboard in the immediate vicinity of my passenger side airbag; they seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. There was no incident beforehand that could have caused the damage. My vehicle was stationary from the last time I had used it, to the next time I entered my vehicle and noticed the dashboard cracks. I took my vehicle to preston Chevrolet, a nearby GM dealership, and I was advised by the service dept. Manager that this type of issue is not a common occurrence, although he had seen it in the past.. he further advised that he was unable to obtain or provide any sort of financial assistance to me in having the defective, damaged dashboard repaired. After researching, I found that it is quite a common problem, and what's more, that Chevy Tahoe's are the 'common denominator.' I feel that I have been mislead by preston Chevrolet. I've since contacted GM and I am awaiting a response from a "senior case advisor." I am primarily concerned about my safety and the safety of my passengers. In the event of a motor vehicle collision, I am certain that shards of plastic would be hurtled into the air, becoming dangerous projectiles that could cause serious bodily injury or harm, not to mention the poor aesthetic appearance and overall devaluation of my vehicle that the fractures have caused. This is clearly a manufacturers defect. I feel I am owed repair and/or restitution from GM as a result.
My door handle fell off on driver side twice and my other three have been replaced as well. Very cheaply made. Very disappointed I did not get what I paid for that's for sure. This has been the worst vehicle I have ever owned and the most expensive at 48,000!
We purchased a used 2013 Tahoe on 5/25/2017 and the dash is cracked. We hear that this happens a lot, so we wanted you to know. It might become a driving hazard, when the airbag ever deployed.
Dashboard cracked over passenger side air bag. This was not there yesterday and happened while car was parked in the garage. Noticed this at 7am arriving to work.
The rear defroster tab has popped off the rear window, this renders the rear defroster unusable, which could lead to someone not being able to see out the rear window. This is an issue that is prevalent in Chevy Tahoe and Suburban as well as GMC Yukon. A simple search reveals thousands of pages on the internet complaining about this issue and GM not doing anything about it.
Cracked dashboard going entirely up the front of driver dashboard. Nothing touched it, completely undisturbed, stationary vehicle. Cracked on it's on Accord, without any factor contributing to the defect on GM's part for the manafacturing of the dashboard itself.
Plastic dash in front has three cracks. One crack at left side of airbag on passenger side atop location of glove box. Other two cracks on driver side atop location of speed and fuel indicators. All three are on the plastic dash where seam near front window plastic and dash plastic meet and make a seam. The weather has been 13 degrees and 14 degrees the past two mornings December 19th and 20th 2016. I do not think this degrees should make the plastic dash crack. My vehicle is a 2013 model with 74,961 miles.
Dashboard cracked and according to the dealership this is die to a plastic defect in the Chevrolet Tahoe and that GMC knows about it but wo'nt repair it. May have an impact of whether the airbag will work.
Cracked dashboard. My Tahoe is always in a garage at work and at home. It is barely 3 years old. Dealership will not help or replace. The crack is connected to the front passenger airbag. It looks horrible.
