2012 Chevrolet Tahoe Complaint Log

WHILE A ACCELERATING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AROUND 50MPH SO I PULLED OVER AND TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE. READ LATER ONLINE THAT THIS ANOMALY IS CALLED THE CHEVY SHAKE. CALLED CHEVROLET CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE MY VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS. I ALSO LEARNED CHEVROLET ARE DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.

CRACKED DASH NEAR PASSENGER AIRBAG AND IN SEVERAL AREAS NOT SURE WHEN THIS HAPPENED AS I AM NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET TAHOE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER FOR A FEW SECONDS, BUT CONTINUED TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NORTHWEST CHEVROLET BUICK GMC CADILLAC OF BELLINGHAM (3891 NORTHWEST AVE, BELLINGHAM, WA 98226, (360) 234-3144), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE LOCAL DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,058.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED IN 4 PLACES. GM DEALER SAYS IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED.

MY DASH IS CRACKED AND RUNNING IN 4 DIFFERENT PLACES. TWO ON EACH SIDE OF PASSENGER DASH BY AIR BAG AND TWO ABOVE MY DASH INFORMATION PANEL.

CPM MALFUNCTIONED CAUSING THE THROTTLE TO BECOME STUCK IN FULL OPEN POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD NOT STOP. COMPUTER WAS STUCK IN 100% MODE. BRAKES INCLUDING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT STOP THE VEHICLE. TAHOE CONTINUED TO GAIN SPEED. RPM'S RUNNING BETWEEN 500-600 RPM. TRAFFIC WAS EVERYWHERE TURNING ONTO A 2 LANE SIDE ROAD AND NOTIFYING 911 I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. THE VEHICLE COASTED FOR ANOTHER MILE OR MORE BEFORE STOPPING. THE BRAKES WERE SMOKING AT THAT POINT.

TAKATA RECALL---A CODE "SERVICE AIR BAG" NOTE APPEARED ON THE DASH AND IS NOW AT THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. THE COST IS OVER $1000. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT, THE CODE JUST CAME ON WHILE DRIVING.

THERE IS A LARGE CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD RIGHT UP TO THE AIR BAG. I DON'T KNOW WHEN OR HOW IT STARTED. I LOOKED AT THE DASHBOARD AND THERE WAS A CRACK. IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING BIGGER. I AM AFRAID THAT IF I AM EVER IN AN ACCIDENT WITH A PASSENGER THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY.

4-5 inch crack in dash above instrumemt panel 1 inch crack on each corner at the top of each corner of the passanger air bag on the top dash no further cracks at this time a report of this has been made two years ago just incase they deside to recall and replace the dash in the near future

Developed cracks in dash starting in 2018 and progressively got worse. Rattles when you drive. Driver door pull has also broken in several places and has pinched my hand multiple times. Dealer is aware this is a common problem but will need to replace whole door panel and dash at my expense. Transmission went at 81,000. Chevy, you can do better. I was warned not to buy this, but I took my chances. It feels very lemony sour now.

TAKATA RECALL

SUSPENSION SYSTEM MESSAGE KEEP COMING ON.

THE TRACTION AND STABILITRAK CONTROLS ARE COMING ON AND STAYING WE HAVEN'T FOUND THE PROBLEM YET BUT I NOTICED THERE WAS A RECALL ON BOTH AT ONE POINT

MY DASH IS SEVERELY CRACKED, INCLUDING BY WHERE THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS FROM THE DASH. AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SPLINTERING AND CAUSING HARM IN THE EVENT OF DEPLOYMENT.

I WAS DRIVING WEST BOUND ON 176TH ST AND AS I APPROACHED THE LIGHT I COULD NOT BRAKE OR TURN MY CAR TO THE RIGHT IN WHICH I HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. ON IN PACKED MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! THE DRIVER OF THE OTHER VEHICLE EVEN TOLD THE OFFICER HE WAS TRYING TO TURN , HIS EYES WERE AS BIG AS A COWS CLEARLY HE WAS IN DISTRESS. LUCKILY NEITHER OF US WERE INJURED.

DASH CRACKED BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG

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.

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED BAIERL CHEVROLET IN WEXFORD, PENNSYLVANIA ABOUT THE RECALL. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEREFORE WILL NOT MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO LOOK AT MY TAHOE. WHO IS RIGHT? THE NHTSA.GOV WEBSITE? OR BAIERL CHEVROLET? THIS NEEDS TO BE CONFIRMED, AS I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING CHILDREN AROUND IN MY TAHOE.

Dashboard cracked in several places

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.

MULTIPLE CRACKS IN THE DASH AND AROUND AIR BAGS. MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE STATED THE DASH IS A PROBLEM IN THE AVALANCHE, SILVERADO AND TAHOE YET THE DEALERSHIP CHARGES AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT TO REPLACE THE DASH.

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.

DASHBOARD CRACKED ABOVE AIRBAG. CRACKED WHILE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY.

CRACKED DASH AS MANY OTHERS HAVE REPORTED AROUND AIRBAG ETC. THIS CAN CAUSE SOME MAJOR INJURIES IF AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

THERE ARE CRACKS ALONG THE DASHBOARD THAT SEEM AS IF THEY WOULD CAUSE A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE LAUNCHING PIECES OF THE DASH IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY.

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 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.
