THE DASHBOARD HAS A CRACK FROM THE WINDSHIELD AND IS SPREADING TOWARD THE STEERING COLUMN(ABOUT 8-10 INCH CRACK). THERE IS ALSO A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WE FIRST NOTICED THE CRACK IN AUGUST/2017. WE WERE TOLD OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WOULD NOT COVER THE BILL. WHEN WE FIRST NOTICED THE CRACK WAS ABOUT 4 INCHES. IT HAS NOW GROWN CLOSE TO 8-10 INCHES.

I HAVE A 2013 CHEVY TAHOE Z71 WITH APPROXIMATELY 45,000 MILES. THERE ARE A TOTAL OF THREE CRACKS IN MY DASHBOARD ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE OTHER TWO ARE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE RIGHT ABOVE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I WAS TOLD BY GM THAT I WOULD HAVE TO REPAIR THE DASH MYSELF AND PAY OUT OF POCKET.

I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN MY DASH ABOVE THE AIRBAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OVER A YEAR AGO. IT HAS NOW GROWN TO SEVERAL CRACKS ABOVE BOTH THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER AIRBAG. I TAKE GREAT CARE OF MY VEHICLE, EVEN PURCHASED THE EXTENDED BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, THE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND THE POOR QUALITY OF THE DASH COULD PREVENT THE AIRBAGS FROM DEPLOYING CORRECTLY.

DASH IS CRACKED NEXT TO THE STEERING COWLING AND NEXT TO THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A PROBLEM FOR ALL GM TRUCKS AND SUVS FROM 2007 THRU 2014. THIS MAY COMPROMISE THE AIRBAG FROM DEPLOYING AND INJURING THE DRIVER WITH SHREDDED PIECES OF PLASTIC DASHBOARD. GM REFUSED TO PAY TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET, WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DOOR LOCKS WENT UP AND DOWN MULTIPLE TIMES, THE RADIO SCREEN TURNED OFF, AND THEN THE WHOLE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I COULDN'T TURN IT BACK ON AND HAD TO CALL TOW TRUCK. LUCKILY I WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY AND THERE WERE NOT MANY CARS COMING WHERE MY CAR HAD STOPPED.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING RIGHT ABOVE THE STEERING WHEEL. I DO NOT KNOW IT THE CRACK STARTING WHILE IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. I KNOW IT HAPPENED IN MAY 2018. IT IS CRACKING MORE EVERYDAY. THIS IS MY DREAM CAR AND I THINK IT'S A SHAME TO PAY THIS KIND OT MONEY FOR SUCH A EXPENSIVE CAR AND IT STARTS FALLING APART. MY HUSBAND AND I ARE NOTHING BUT CHEVY BUYERS WE HAVE OWNED A NUMBER OF BLAZERS AND TAHOE AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM . MY HUSBAND'S TAHOE IS A 2004 . LOOKS GREAT. ALSO ON THE 2013 TAHOE THE DOOR PULL IS BROKE AND THE DEALER SAID I HAD TO BUY THE HOLD DOOR PANEL THST WOULD BE OVER $500. I ONLY NEED THE THE PULL HANDLE NOT THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL. THIS IS NONSENSE. IS CHEVROLET GETTING CHEAP ON THEIR QUALLTY . THIS WILL MAKE BE LOOK INTO OTHER VEHICLES (FORD, TOYOTA, JEEP , ETC. ## VIN PASSED ## CHEVY TAHOE 2013 ##

AFTER 50000 MILES ON VEHICLE I BEGIN TO HEAR ENGINE NOISE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE OF ENGINE. I CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT WAS THE VALVE LIFTERS. THIS HAPPEN AFTER A TRIP WHILE ON A HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO HAVE IT REPAIR BUT WAS DENY REPAIR. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT REPAIR WITH WARRANTY, BUT WAS ALSO DENY REPAIR.

MY DASH HAS TWO CRACKS: ONE NEAR THE LEFT CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG AND ONE ON THE RIGHT MID POINT OF THE CURVE OVER THE CONTROL SECTION OF THE DASH. I HAVE SEE WHERE THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME CRACKS. I NOTICED THE FIRST CRACK MAY 5, 2018 AND THE SECOND CRACK MAY 25, 2018. I NOTICED THEM WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HOW UNSAFE THIS IS WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND POSSIBLE FLYING DEBRIS IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. MY CAR IS STILL UNDER WARRANTY.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL. WHILE MY TAHOE WAS IN A REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE NEW AIR BAG CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMED, THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. . IN ADDITION, I NOTICED THE DEPLOYED SIDE AIR BAGS DO NOT COVER THE FRONT DRIVER'S OR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOWS. THEREFORE, IT APPEARS TO BE ONLY A PARTIAL DEPLOYMENT OR A DEFECTIVE DESIGN THAT IN ADDITION TO ACCIDENTAL DEPLOYMENT, THEY DO NOT PROTECT PEOPLE IN THE FRONT SEATS.

AIR BAGS
I BOUGHT A REPLACEMENT RADIATOR CORE SUPPORT MANUFACTURED IN CHINA. IT HAS A DEFECT THAT REQUIRES THE FRONT AIR BAG SENSORS BE INSTALLED FACING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE NORMAL ORIENTATION (REARWARD RATHER THAN FORWARD). HOWEVER, I SUSPECT THAT MAY AFFECT AIR BAG SENSOR FUNCTION AND POSSIBLY AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT DURING AN ACCIDENT. ONLINE CHATS WITH THE SENSOR MANUFACTURER RESULT IN EVASIVE ANSWERS DUE TO POTENTIAL LIABILITY. THEREFORE, I BELIEVE THE CHINESE MANUFACTURED RADIATOR CORE SUPPORTS SHOULD BE RECALLED. *JS

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
MY 2013 CHEVROLET LTZ TAHOE BEGAN EXPERIENCING INTERMITTENT WARNINGS THAT THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEMS WERE OFF AT AROUND 60K MILES. BY THE TIME THE VEHICLE TIT 65K THE FAILURES BECAME REGULAR AND ARE NOW LIT CONSTANTLY. THESE ARE SAFETY FEATURES THAT SAFEGUARD THE OPERATOR AND PASSENGERS DURING HARD/EMERGENCY BRAKING OR DURING WEATHER WITH SNOW, ICE AND RAIN. THESE KEY SAFETY SYSTEMS NOW ARE NON FUNCTIONING AND THE VEHICLE IS RATHER UNSAFE WITHOUT THEM. THIS IS A $70+ K VEHICLE AND IT HAS KEY SAFETY FEATURES FAILING VERY EARLY INTO ITS LIFE. IT IS UNBELIVABLE THAT CHEVROLET IS NOT HELD TO ACCOUNT BY FEDERAL REGULATORS FOR SUCH SIGNIFICANT SAFETY FAILURES. HOW MANY TAHOES ARE IN SERIOUS ACCIDENTS EACH YEAR DUE TO LOSS OF ABS BRAKING AND TRACTION CONTROL LOSS?
